GoPro retired for DJI Osmo Pocket 3. (BEST Vlog Camera 2024!)

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is undoubtedly the most exciting and best Vlogging Camera for 2024, the quality of this tiny and convenient camera is pretty incredible. In this video, Jake talks through some of the features that excite him the most including the DJI Mic 2, the lowlight performance, and of course the active track.

Nothing is beating DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for my vlogs right now! It is the bestttttt❤❤❤❤

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

It really is fantastic 🙌

[@BigFuzzyYak]

I am glad you said that as I am considering getting it!

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

It's SO good 😍

[@KevinLe]

Great job on this video! Keep up the family content. Looking forward to seeing you guys grow your channel in the years to come

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

Thank you buddy! 🙏 Appreciate you being here. Your channel looks great aswell. Going to subscribe now 🤙

[@Despacitoporelmundo]

Actually the colour in your Gopro looks great😂😂as compared to the Pocket. Bad salesman😂but you made me laugh a couple of times. I am actually thinking of buying this thing (Pocket 3). Thank you for the vid!

[@MontanapicturesNet]

Well done and Thank you. Your enthusiasm is infectious. You quickly hit the four main points we care about while capturing video in the outdoors. 1) How does the dji perform in low light. 2) The advantages of the automatic gimble with tracking vs GoPro. 3) Side by side video comparisons between dji and GoPro. 4) The ease of setting up the time-lapse feature. PS Your video "extras" are adorable.

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

That is SO kind! Thank you so much. If you like the wee ‘extras’ there’s plenty of other content on our channel featuring them 🥰

Wow, you can really tell the difference in the audio. Cool. 😎 A built in gimble is awesome! We've noticed that too about our GoPro when it gets dark, the footage gets a bit jittery. The timelapse was great. 😊 Love the song that starts at 1:46! We've used that song in a video before. Lovely tune! ❤

[@PradeepKumar-tq4ev]

Great video. If u can, then compare pocket 3 with iphne 15 pro max and also samsung s23/ s24 ultra. That would be awesome comparison between all of them

You keep calling it a DGI. Most KZbin people do this. Must be tricky to say for most. Good video, I’m a fan of the Pocket

[@swisislive]

so dji wireless mic is good. got it :)

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

Very good, if used properly. See our follow up video 👌

[@fishycomics]

IMHO gimbals are delicate in ways, that said enjoy our P3 its awesome, just my 2 cents

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

Completely agree, they’ll definitely be situations where I pull the GoPro out or for example in my most recent video I gave my boy the GoPro as he likes filming. No chance he’s getting his hands on the P3 🤣

[@uzico]

Fully agree. Never again GoPro

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

We still pull the GoPro out now and again but only for it's waterproof capabilities 🙏

[@Haggis305]

Has anyone looked at the Pocket 2 v Pocket 3 comparison. I'm thinking for the money...The 2 still packs a punch...What do others think. Don't get me wrong 3 is nice but rather $$$ right now.

[@melancholic.egoist]

Nice review! It looks like DJI is more stable specially in low light. The only downside it has compared to the Hero 12 is that, it's not waterproof.

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

I appreciate that, yes the DJI definitely takes the win in lowlight. Both cameras have their own uses where they excel!

[@hanglooserecluse]

One action fall and it’s gone, it will never replace an action camera

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

Totally agree, this wasn't actually meant to be a side by side review. More just us announcing we were switching up our vlog camera. :)

[@stefw0200]

This delicate gimble combo can't replace an action cam. Buy a DJI Action4 and a mini gimble. Cost less and you have a robust action cam. The only thing you're loosing is active tracking.

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

You're absolutely right, this video wasn't actually meant to be me comparing but instead just announcing we were changing the camera we vlog with. That said, the image from a P3 is far superior to anything you could get with a action cam and gimbal because of the ability to have a shallow DOF and snap on ND filters. 👍

[@michaelklym7043]

Where was this recorded?

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

In Cyprus dude, we live here at the moment 😊

[@sridharswethasri]

How much bro your purchaseing online or offline

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

What do you mean mate? I bought the camera from DJI themselves

[@PilotLH]

That DJI looks so overexposed compared to the GoPro and in my opinion looks worse until you get it into low light. Even then the DJI loses a lot of definition in the clouds and simply is just over exposed. Not sure what settings you were using or post processing you did, but I'm sure this DJI can do better than this from other footage I've seen..

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

You're totally right, I hadn't learnt to use the camera and find it's best settings at this point. This video was just us excitedly announcing we had a new camera and if you'd seen any of our more recent videos then you'd see we've since got to grips with it 👌

[@PilotLH]

@@TheSimplyLivingFamily Ill take a look at your more recent stuff. I've just got a Sony ZV-E10 so looking forward to getting some stuff recorded myself!

@@TheSimplyLivingFamilyall you need is a filter

[@graphguy]

that's fine until you try to put it in a pocket or it falls in the water.

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

Agreed. It’s definitely more delicate than the GoPro and there’s occasions where the GoPro will still be the better camera for our vlogs 🙌

[@gbej1]

The DJI osmo has a protective case you are expected to put it in when not in use so who in their right mind would just nonchalantly shove it in their pocket without the case and not expect it to be damaged? Also, when you are fully aware that an equipment is not water proof how will it just “fall in the water”?? You come across as a very careless and clumsy person who should not be handling any sort of equipment whatsoever

@@TheSimplyLivingFamily Nice! I love the way you color grade the footage!

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

That's very kind, I always considered colour grading one of my weakest areas.

[@dqitwithbrad]

the DJI is so over exposed, why not a Insta 360 Ace?

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

In those first side by side clips, you're absolutely right but that was completely user error. I've since gotten to grips with the camera and our most recent video is shot on it and I had no issues with exposure. Funnily enough the 360 ace was the camera I though we'd upgrade to but this took the win with that creator combo and the microphone. :)

[@exclamo]

Pocket 3 can't beat GoPro because it's a different camera for its purpose. Pocket 3 is not an action camera it can never be used as an action camera, as the manufacturer warns on this site. Pocket 3 couldn't necessarily replace GoPro, because it's a camera of different format and different purpose!

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

You’re exactly right! And I touch on that in the video, this was only meant to be us announcing we’re changing the camera we was vlogging with as we was using a GoPro 🙏

[@97sveryown63]

I think he knows.. but you just wanted to write a paragraph

[@AndrewMatthews]

That and a DJI Action 4 awesome combo.

[@DeepakMukhiyaVlogs]

But everyone wants a stabilized and attractive video quality and also a low light video which is much better in dji pocket 3 than gopro

[@ztw2002]

why the hell is DJI super overexposed???

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

Because this was the first day I'd got it and I hadn't quite got to grips with it 🤦‍♂️🤣 if you see any of my more recent videos you'll see I've since starting using the ND filters 🙏

[@thomasusheriii971]

This is an amazing camera but not waterproof. Completely different categories of cameras.

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

Agreed. This was never meant to be a comparison in that sense. Just us announcing we were changing the main camera we vlog with 🙏

[@thomasusheriii971]

@TheSimplyLivingFamily Thanks for the video! I just bought the Insta 360 Go 3. Very tiny and versatile. Not the best video quality though. Each camera has its pros and cons.

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

We might be getting our hands on one of them in the next few weeks so keep an eye out 👏👀

[@goose955]

DJi image burned white balance , best audio only for extra mic . Nope not better

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

It did mess the white balance up a few times, mainly user error as this was one of the very first videos I filmed with it. That said, this is 100% a better camera for my use.

[@vegasranger]

DJI looks over exposed

It is, you’re right. I’d only had the camera a couple of days at this point and hadn’t quite gotten used to it. I now advise setting the EV to -0.5 🙌
