How to Use the DJI Pocket 3 - 17 Tips and Tricks

[@Magic_Mike69]

Yeah, I am completely sold on the fact this thing can ACTUALLY film at night in city streets, and is much more discreet than putting a GoPro on a Gimbal... DJI is winning this one!

[@letsgetlost27]

Yeah, I think the screen and the low light capability are the two biggest updates for this one.

[@meninim5054]

The problem : "Dear Thank you for contacting DJI Technical Support. We are grateful to assist you with your concern. Regarding your situation, we are sorry to inform you the main camere battery cannot buy singlely, we recommend you to buy the battery handle to help yo solve this issue. This could also help you solve the battery life issue." So you trow away the Pocket 3 in 2 years maximum when battery no longer charges.

[@garysyoutube]

@@meninim5054 Would it be an option to buy the battery handle instead of throwing it away when the main battery eventually dies?

[@meninim5054]

@@garysyoutube the extended battery is smaller, not sure. 950mAh battery increases by 62%. Main battery is 1300mAh !! Yes probably you can, but not ideal solutions.

Does Pocket 3 able to pause a video recording & resume again like what Pocket 2 can ??

[@BackwoodsFilms]

Wow, you're all over this camera, and it just came out! Good job diving into all of these unique features. Can't wait till mine arrives so I can try them myself.

[@joseluisruiz3789]

Ok i subscribed, you convinced me 😅 i just got my Pocket 3 delivered and just put it to charge mine was at 43% battery out of the box. I am also taking your advice on the extended warranty through DJI since I've never had anything with a Gimbal, you literally opened my eyes to the possibility of having issues with the mechanism of the gimbal so i too want to have peace of mind. Thank you so much for your advice though i technically bought this my self, it was my wife who gave me the idea if getting one for my 40th B day. She watches your videos with me. 😅

[@cgpaulslp]

Love this video. I would love to see how u would set this camera up for overhead shots

[@jaimejan8674]

You are the "go to" resource for all things DJI Pocket 3! Thank you for all the videos.

[@strollingthecity]

Thank u so much for the info. If u can compare it with iPhone 15 pro max that would be great.

[@petersterling5334]

Very helpful Video! As a Video Pro for many Years this Camera really seems like a Game Changer with So many Features to help Solo Content Creators get Great Stabilized Footage with a Camera that acts like a Cameraman with the Advanced Face tracking!

[@vloginvain]

Very helpful video. Thanks for making this.

[@TycLiu]

Great tutorial. Thank you! Is there a way to ensure the Pocket 3 lens doesn't turn outward when in the hard shell carrying case? Most times when I take it out of my bag, I find the lens has moved from its initial stowaway position (facing inward) to facing out, and I'm so worried one of these days the lens will get scratched.

[@RonaldBrown59]

These are very useful tips for new Pocket 3 owners. Thanks for sharing.

[@ForTheLoveOfHomes]

So excited to dig into this today for a home tour video. Thank you for the excellent tips!

[@grzegorzkrajewski1095]

Great, substantive material. Keep speaking so clearly, because you have a large audience for whom English is not their first language.

[@JimHassey]

Thanks... the section you covered Face-trackimg and how to get my head/face to be 'higher' in the frame (or left/right/etc) ... was most valuable. But the other tips are great too. Thank you...

[@AjaySingh-228]

Looks, Cool Mam...It's an amazing camera...its is compact and easy to handle without any discomfort

[@JeremySee]

Ridiculously useful video tutorial. 👍

[@fonsecarichard]

Thanks for the video! You explained so much in so little time,that’s how I know you’re a great teacher ❤

[@delucajohn2000]

Thank you so much for this video! I am brand new to this camera so your video was super helpful and really made learning how to use it much easier.

[@moodrow1497]

Great video. This is going to help me a lot with my new Pocket 3. Keep up the great work.

[@dunwitch]

Wonderful video once more ... these are the best instructional videos on this camera out there. Glad I (finally!) found them!

[@ToothTalksTravel]

Thank you - I was hoping you'd have a video on this when I started researching this camera - you answered all my questions in one video 😊

[@Gemini_Connect]

A follow up video with more tips and tricks is coming soon!

[@ToothTalksTravel]

@@Gemini_Connect Great stuff, thanks Suzi - I really appreciate your content - it's helped me a lot over the last couple of years - looking forward to the upcoming T&T vid 👍☺️

[@rockys999]

Hi Gemini. Love your videos. I just got the Pocket 3 and am experiencing an issue. I tried searching on Google and didn't get anything. When I set my camera to 4K/60 fps, I can see the image on the screen, but as soon as I hit the record button, the screen goes black and I can't see what I am filming. What's going on? Is my Pocket 3 broken? or is there a setting I didn't set correctly. Have you come across this issue before. Thanks

[@dadlifetravel]

Incredible video as always. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@hasseygolf]

Thank you for your help/content. You should list some recommended memory cards, screen protectors, etc... Just a thought. 🤷 Again, thank you for your hard work.

[@jjn6914]

Super helpful tutorial! I actually dislike the 3 tap to rotate the camera around, given that other tap counts enable different functions. I find that you can under or over tap because the device doesn't respond as well after you've used it for, say, a few months. This was a major issue in my user experience with the Pocket 2. Glad that there is the option on the screen with the Pocket 3, though!

[@michaelerbreviews]

Some great new-to-me tips. Thanks.

[@WayneIrish]

Am currently on the fence due to cost but i think i am going to take the plunge. Great video. Thankyou. I look forward to your future videos on this camera.

[@VirtualNYCTours]

Can you charge and use it at the same time? I couldn't find Combo and I'm thinking of using an external power supply if I buy.

[@japanham5973]

How did you actually save the custom settings....Please go through that procedure. Thanks,

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks for sharing, I think there is a bug with the gimball lock feature.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks, I finally got it 🙂

[@For91Days]

Your videos are so good - thank you!

[@fsb5370]

Thank you for these videos especially the audio setup and FAQs. I have shared your videos with quite a few people.

[@ScowlerJase]

I haven’t seen a review yet that shows you that when you put the zoom function onto the joystick - you can then use the screen to pan up and down - and it’s proportional! Just like on the pocket and pocket 2.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Fantastic tips. Thank you!

[@Ozpeter]

I was going to suggest mentioning the ability to vary exposure on the fly - but you did that, of course. I'll simply add that it resets when you stop recording, which makes sense. Nice set of tips, thanks.

[@stevensonrf]

Very helpful tips and tricks video on the new osmo pocket three! thank you, Susie😇👍

[@nzlaz]

Hi, Thanks for the quick answer...I'm thinking of swapping my purchase to a Pocket 3 since I haven't picked up the Pocket 2 yet. Is there a list of phones for minimum activation, as I understand not all phones are compatible? Thanks

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

The Screen is Sooo Small. 😱 I wish the screen was bigger. I like bigger screens. Great info.

[@Twizzforsberg]

I tried a lot i put my camera infront and the focus is making my clips worthless. Do in video mode and its focus pumping. When i did follow mode its not good either. What setting is the best most clips i just talk but have my hands up sometimes when i talk or show something

Hi gemini your channel is super helpful im traveling international which do u think should i get? This one or the dji osmo mobile 6 if i have the iphone 15 pro max? Hoping for your input

[@hungrychad]

Just subbed for all these awesome Pocket 3 videos. Thanks!

[@DIYNauticalDream]

Would you consider this a higher quality replacement of a FrozePro 11?

[@Gemini_Connect]

I’ve not heard of the FrozePro

[@DIYNauticalDream]

​@Gemini_Connect oops I mean GoPro hero 11 black

[@DamianBrown]

Did you adjust the gain on the pocket 3 for the mic levels?

[@davidgeng4662]

Can you turn selfie mode on while recording?

[@jiding7530]

Amazing 👍🏻. Thank you for sharing this video ❤

[@Kamikaze3557]

I was using mine today, recording some chores, horizon leveling was on, couldn’t get my shot I wanted, so went to settings but it was grayed out, took me forever to realize I could not access it because I was recording at the time. Wasted 20 min. To figure that out. I’m 66 and just competent in these things, I thought.

[@lifewithcapital]

Great video 💯 your pretty awesome thank you

[@sunnydayz77]

How low can the camera pan down ? Say if I want to make a top down video for a tech review keeping the camera in front of me with the lens facing down.

Hello, i want to ask if we can move camera using on screen joystick in Mimo app while recording? Is it possible? I mean when it's not recording, it does move from mimo app but what if we start recording and want to move camer?

[@kmesz87]

Is it possible to record from the internal mic and the wireless mic at the same time?

[@OrlandoPla]

Is this your new main vlog camera or will you continue using an action camera?

[@Gemini_Connect]

We'll make a video on that soon

[@Oddish08]

Great video thank you! :)

[@ChowDownDetroit]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you! One problem I am getting is that I get a warning when I insert my brand new Sandisk 512GB microSD card “Card writing speed slow”. Does this mean that osmo pocket 3 only works with certain SD card?

[@michaels3003]

There is important info about this on the DJI forum. A number of people experienced overheating (in max video modes and the app active) when slow memory cards were used.

[@Gemini_Connect]

Yes, memory card speed is important

[@ChowDownDetroit]

@@Gemini_Connect what SD card do you recommends and it works for your pocket 3?

[@manueldalope220]

Thanks!

[@iagowski]

Hello! I have discovered that the joystick diagonally up to the right does not work for me when moving the camera. Yes it works for me in the other angles. Does the same happen to you? Will it be a mechanical or software failure? thanks!

[@Nazir-WalkAroundTheCity]

Fantastic camera

[@nand0gee]

What camera are you using to record this video?

[@Wild-Siberia]

Hey I have a off topic question as I wrote in other avenues to you. My media mod when mounted shows volume At max and doesn’t record sound. It’s never been damaged or hit it just randomly happened. Its port still works to charge, and the GoPros port still also does charge it seems to work but the media mod is stuck on this mode. Have you ever encountered this??? Anyone

[@Gemini_Connect]

Haven’t had that problem

[@midwestchick]

Have you tried to see if your pocket 2 will still export to phone with the new Mimo update? Mine gets an error every since the pocket 3 release and customer service is no help

[@Mikephotos]

How are you using ear buds for sound? I saw in one of your video's you said you can do it I tried and it doesn't work.

[@Mikephotos]

Never mind I got it

[@filmplayer333]

QUESTION: I see in other videos the Active Tracker really sucks… It mostly prioritizes the face but not good with anything else. Can you confirm that? I do Hyperlapses and would be nice if this camera can track objects etc.

[@dizzycreates]

It’s not bad depending on the size of the object. We’re expecting firmware updates for future improvements so I’m hopeful it’ll continue to get better. It has some great hyperlapse features.

[@DarkStoneCastle]

At 8:36 you describe being able to record audio to both the the transmitter and to the Pocket 3 at the same time (like for a backup). So let me make sure I understand you.... it will record the REGULAR pocket 3 audio to the the video file and the TRANSMITTER audio to the transmitter? Cuz this won't work for me. All I get is the Transmitter audio on both. There is no way to unlink the transmitter if it is ON. If you try do to unlink it, it will automatically link back up in 10 seconds or so.

[@sasyaamrutha7519]

Any chance to damage gimble motor during beginer usage? Is gimble mode easy? Kindly let me know please

[@Gemini_Connect]

It’s easy to use and as long as you’re not super rough with it, you shouldn’t damage the gimbal.

[@seasonbike]

Hi,I would like to know if it can do horizontal slow motion 120f/sec, I know that it can only do 3K horizontally, but I don't know if it can do 3K/120, thanks for the answer

[@Gemini_Connect]

You can do 4K120 fps slow mo in horizontal. The 3K restriction is when shooting vertical.

[@seasonbike]

sorry, I meant vertically;)), if I can vertically 3K/120

[@MarkBritton-s8u]

Can you use the Mic 2 with Sony cameras?

[@babyboy1971]

I’m saving up for this camera but I’ve seen a lot of vids complaining about focus issues. Is it a real problem?

[@Gemini_Connect]

Depends on what you’re filming. If it’s a fast moving subject, it can have issues at times.

[@babyboy1971]

@@Gemini_Connect that’s good to hear. I will likely save my GoPro Hero 12 for fast action (which I rarely shoot) and use the pocket for vlogging, walking tours, some talking head stuff. And daily life. Thanks for the info!

[@wolfiemedia]

I really wish it had auto-panning from left to right for example. This would be great for real estate videos. Also at 3:05 - there’s triple click too…

[@Gemini_Connect]

You can auto pan when in motion Timelapse mode, but I know that’s not quite the same thing.

[@foodhipster]

It's not auto pan but... You can pan remotely through the DJI mimo app. Connect to the app and control the pan from another room.

[@wolfiemedia]

@@foodhipstergood thinking! I wonder if it will be smooth enough? Might have to give it a go. Cheers mate 👌🏻

[@rockfordfortier6044]

Hi. Want to ask..after turning off the op3, is your op3 gimbal got rattling sound when you shake it?

[@rockfordfortier6044]

Is it normal?

[@Gemini_Connect]

I don’t think you should shake the gimbal, especially when it’s turned off.

[@AmericanRoads]

5:47 Is that really a lock mode? I see the gimbal continuously turning to the right (clockwise).

[@Gemini_Connect]

It’s referred to as lock mode in the camera.

If you had to choose ONE for vlogging, which one would you choose and why: DJI Action 4 DJI Pocket 3 Sony ZV E10 + Sigma 10-15mm 2.8 lens
