I agree with a lot of the points you have mentioned here, I wish DJI would make another version of this camera with a 50mm lens! that would be so dope. It's not going to compete with a mirrorless in terms of image quality but it's close enough to not stick out on an edit, and that's all that matters to me. It's 10X lighter than running a mirrorless on a gimbal, a godsend for solo shooters. Put it on a selfie stick and you got SICK Crane like camera moves using active track, Also useful for shooting crowds, and remote controlling the camera using your phone. Obviously don't shoot the whole wedding only with the pocket, bring a mirrorless to cover medium and closeups (I use 4 cameras total for greater coverage, The osmo and a mirrorless with me, and 2 more cameras on tripods)

[@novafilmco]

Exactly! It def can't compare with a mirrorless and interchangeable lenses but its such a good starter camera and has a solidified place in many people's camera kits!

[@reedeema]

There is a dude in a dji pocket 3 Facebook Group that makes a 40mm lens Himself. Really Cook ...

[@PopoRamos]

@@reedeema wow that’s awesome, I would love to check it out

[@PopoRamos]

@@reedeema is it the 2x teleconverter? From what I can see, there is much more bokeh, but the adapter introduces vignette. Worth checking out until DJI makes an actual lens

[@davesteel7513]

Great video. It's always good to hear the views of someone who uses a piece of equipment professionally. I bought my first 35mm camera in 1973. I can't believe how far we've come.

[@novafilmco]

Awesome, thank you!

[@NixonReptiles]

Can always use product showcase with 240 fps get extra punch in and close focus.

[@cliffcastle9808]

Thanks for your unbiased observations. The Mic2 allows you to get a duplicate recording of the audio in case something happens. It's pretty amazing in itself that the Pocket 3 can be somewhat competitive with a high end DSLR.

[@novafilmco]

Of course! Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!

[@jmackultra]

…a couple hundred bucks camera… this thing costs over half a G

[@andyelliott1866]

I agree...priced great

[@ShawnWeekly]

. I have one ordered. I am looking forward to playing around with it.

[@VisionaryPixel]

Love this comparison video. I've worked a styled shoot a few years back at the Swan House also, great place. I'm also using the Pocket3 for Weddings along with a Canon R6 and Blackmagic 6k Pro. Completely different results from all 3 camera footage (as expected) but the real difference is just in what can be done in post. I love the P3 for it's simple easy to use function and great quality for what it cost. Hit me up to collab some day!!

[@RGMGFitness]

Cool 'hack' to attach the OSMO Pocket 3 to the gimbal. My 1st thought was the bride/groom's going to think 'what's this guy doing'. But because you attached the pocket 3 the your more professional setup...it works without drawing attention to what your doing. Nice review!

[@novafilmco]

Haha yeah I clear all video ideas with my clients prior to filming so they know what's going on

[@Elimporta2]

I did my first behind the scene wedding with a pocket last weekend and the video was better than the main. I did have to use some lights and back up every x hours to make sure I don’t lost my data. But it did an excellent job

[@novafilmco]

This thing really is goated!

[@normann.mcdonald8820]

A wonderful overview with the appreciated inclusion of the vertical/horizontal speed adjustment. I too, had completely missed that pearl. Great job !!!

[@novafilmco]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@DarrellMartinelli47]

Awesome video, thanks. We have been using our Pocket 3 at weddings since we got one in Novemeber. For us we only use it for certain shots, especially if we are both on tighter lenes I can litterally pull it out of my pocket and get a wide shot that I can mix in with our Sony A7IV's seemlesly. We look at it like all of our gear, just another tool in the kit. Smooth wide angle footage quickly!

[@GlassAve]

Man I Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@novafilmco]

Glad you like them!

[@wvansluisveld3011]

I think you know more about this stuff than I do but what is also limiting the Osmo Pocket 3 are the lack of a variable aperture, only giving you the ISO to play with. It is quite a wide open aperture so expect backgrounds somewhat blurred, always. And also the controls are very limiting. Changing ISO means all kinds of steps 3 layers deep into the on screen menu making it slow to use. Furthermore the gimbal has limited movement range.

[@joshkiddfilms1295]

im impressed with the quality of these wide shots on the pocket. Cool video!

[@novafilmco]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that!

[@deheiligebron]

Great info! And at 9:18 there’s something watching you filming above the house. 🏠 👀

[@pureheartvisuals]

Shot the Biltmore & Chateau Elan a few weeks ago…. Haven’t had the pleasure of shooting the Swan House yet. Great stuff here man…Beautiful Venue. I shoot with 4 bodies, just picked up the OSMO Pocket 3 for some personal use but definitely looking to see how I can incorporate it into my Wedding workflow. Good insight here. I’m on the Falcam F38 as well… couldn’t go back now 😂

[@novafilmco]

falcam f38 is so elite!!! and I have a few weddings on here at the Biltmore too! Thanks for watching!

[@pureheartvisuals]

@@novafilmco no doubt Man. I’m in Gwinnett, glad to meet another creative in GA. Would be cool to sync up.

[@dannymacamaturephotographe6352]

going to try my first wedding this weekend family member so not to much pressure.

[@novafilmco]

Good luck!!

[@NickthaGeek]

Talked about limitations yet the footage on the osmo when the couple were walking towards the camera at 8.22 looks far better stability wise on the osmo to the fx3. Night and day better. The fx3 looked a bit of a mess there

[@novafilmco]

FX3 was handheld during that shot, the Osmo was stabilized. Added that just to show a comparison to image quality. Thanks for watching :)

[@NickthaGeek]

@@novafilmco oh... ok. Makes more sense. Really shows the power of a gimbal. Great vid. Keep up the great work 👍

[@slyviewphoto]

You nailed it!! And thank you for the info about the speed control. I needed that.

[@iamking_19]

Good quality content bruh. Keep goin!!!

[@novafilmco]

Thanks, will do!

[@Ahmadkhalidi76]

can you give us the osmo pocket settings you used for filming the wedding? gimbal mode...focus mode etc...?

[@novafilmco]

Coming in a future video :)

[@DiscoverSRQ]

Nice colors! Do you have a LUT that you used?

[@novafilmco]

Thanks so much! I honestly did nothing to the Osmo pocket footage! It’s straight out of camera. The fx3 clip towards the middle was color graded with some luts I’m working on finalizing to release soon!

[@beehthephotographer]

nice thanks for sharing

[@antonio090688]

Hey man! I love the channel! Please keep posting. I definitely will follow you.

[@carrollbradshaw5818]

Enjoyed the video. Dead on requiring two cards. It would almost be like have only one camera to photograph a wedding, stuff sometimes happens

[@novafilmco]

Exactly! I actually had a few clips that corrupted while filming the styles shoot. I think if you turn the camera off too early right after stopping a recording, it corrupts the clip.

[@GeoffreyOak]

You wrote “OMSO” in your thumbnail. Fyi. Great video.

[@IamAndreSmall]

I'm sure it takes time to edit both pieces of content - but it would be great to see both final pieces back to back

[@novafilmco]

Planning on it!!

[@sigridlee3743]

Thanks for these useful considerations.

[@novafilmco]

Glad it was helpful!

[@KevObispo]

R u recording this youtube vid on 4k 60? Cause it seems like u got 1/120 shutter speed there. Your hand movements doesn’t feel natural to me at least (not enough motion blur)

[@markshirley01]

If DJI design a PRO version with the 3 lens gimbal they have on one of their drones, then it will be a real industry disrupter

[@novafilmco]

Osmo pocket 4 gonna break the internet next year 😂🤩

[@leoduquette]

@@novafilmco Agreed. I already bought a second Pocket 3 cause I use it remotely as PTZ.

[@leoduquette]

Without the Z of course!

[@jeffreyklaum13]

DJI Ronin 4D is pretty badass

[@Hassanakora]

We need one more camera which looks like 📸. Not a gimbal. Mostly people don't hire people uses pocket 3 like gimbal camera.

[@mum_with_the_peacock_tattoo]

Do you shoot in dm mode or one of the stylised modes?

[@usernamenotvisibIe]

You are a bad ass, brother. Keep it up.

[@novafilmco]

Just trying to be like you :)

[@Dygo784]

Where to buy the quick release plates?

[@carlosread5887]

I wish somebody came out with a lens for the Osmo that would be equivalent to a 50mm, a 70mm, etc. on a full frame camera. As far as I know, there is only one lens that can be attached to the Osmo, and it makes the angle even wider.

[@novafilmco]

yup, it comes with a lens mod to make it wider! I would love the same! Give me a 50 mm and I'd be happy!

[@Photosbyabis]

Thanks for this review. You just got a Sub ❤

[@tony92506]

lol filthy zoom shooter!! great video!! thank you for sharing!!

[@novafilmco]

Absolutely filthy 😂

[@amirst110]

3:00 - F9 ISO1250 ?

[@novafilmco]

what's the problem?

[@alevi9340]

WHY DOES EVERYONE TALK ABOUT CINEMATIC WHEN THEY RECORD VIDEO WITH A PHOTOGRAPHIC CAMERA? IN ADDITION, BY CINEMATIC THEY MEAN TO WASH THE IMAGE BY MAKING IT OF POOR QUALITY (SOFT) AND MAKE IT GREEN THAN BY COLOR GRADE

[@novafilmco]

@@alevi9340 tag me on your video when it’s up so I can learn something 😘

was 1:00 shot via OM3 too? nah or?

lol yeah look it up. Be blessed ✌🏾

[@DavidHaverty]

0:16 a lot of jittery movement in the dark blacks when in slow motion here. Did you adjsut your export for Optical Flow or was it on Frame Sampling? Two Pass High Bit Rate export?

[@novafilmco]

Nope just had to adjust my shutter speed slightly to help with exposure on that shot. Forgot my nd filters that day 🫠🤗

[@L-A-M-E-nergy]

Why are so many people shooting over exposed footage on the Osmo Pocket 3? They literally made a great leap in the color space and dynamic range… so if you pushed the camera to the test, why have t you learned how to expose a shot!? Also why do none of these “videographers” use an ND filter? Come on folks the camera literally shoots cinematic quality images if you just know how to set up manually!

[@novafilmco]

@@L-A-M-E-nergy for one, when I made this video almost half a year ago, I had a test model of the Osmo pocket 3 and nd filters weren’t even made available in my area for this thing. Two, I don’t think my shots were overexposed, if anything, some were underexposed (especially shadow spots) but that’s a subjective taste I guess. Let me know when you post your video about the op3 so I can learn from someone that knows everything. Thanks for watching 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@dove187]

I really tested this camera to its limits*

[@novafilmco]

I said what I said

[@danaf8902]

If only it had adjustable aperture

[@novafilmco]

That would make this thing a serious problem for the camera industry 😂 Companies would be shivering in their boots

[@jeffreyklaum13]

betcha it could with a firmware update. I wonder if BlackMagic type hacks on these are available?
