@@JakeSloan I have a LUT question plus another question regarding working with the Pocket 3 & my a7c. Best place to ask?

[@SimplicityForGood]

:)) just bought it now. I talked with them and they say it has no IP class for rain or water... hmm, now I got a bit worried, I live in Sweden and it has been minus 18 Celsius and snowing every day... how will this handle snow and high moisture? - any third party that made a rainproof bag to film from for the Pocket 3?

[@JakeSloan]

No one makes a rain cover yet but I’ve had mine out in snow and very cold temps and it has been fine. The key is don’t let the snow melt on the pocket. Keep it dry

[@SimplicityForGood]

Alright! @@JakeSloan do you know if anyone made a holder to place it on ones bicycle? it would be neat to ride around town and talk through the mic it comes with in this creator kit and show people my city and talk about memories and what my country used to be.. like a vlog of Generations of Scandinavia.. we got so much archive-free film here in Sweden in our public television record to compare every block with, they were like obsessed with filming everything when Stockholm was built up at the end of the 1800s .. so would be interesting to film it with the Osmo pocket and then in juxtaposition cut in old film and mix it up in an interesting way of how things changed... thanks for getting back!

[@andyxmunoz]

Mine arrives later today - pretty stoked for it. Going to use it for quick vlogging on paid videography work I do around the country. Thanks for this breakdown Jake!

Thanks for a great video. I’m considering getting a pocket 3 but not sure. I love taking videos of my kids (4&1) and just making nice family videos to look back on. I Don’t post anywhere but sometime upload nice individual photos/videos on social media for friends and family to see. I’m not sure whether to go for the pocket 3 and keep my old GoPro 5 for anything to do with water. Or just go for the GoPro 12 or Action 4.

[@JakeSloan]

personally I would get the pocket 3 and keep the hero 5 for anything in the water. The pocket 3 is a fantastic camera for stuff like that

[@SmellGoodTravelWell]

Super Helpful! Thanks. Can you tell me which gimbal setting is best for straight walking video, Tilt, follow or FPV?

[@JakeSloan]

Tilt Lock for sure

[@allenrogers5415]

Such good content. Great advice. Thank you.

[@JakeSloan]

My pleasure!

[@AvihaiFernbach]

Great video! Having background in the film industry (I used to be a professional DP many years ago) and now coming back to it for the fun of it. I just purchased the Osmo pocket 3, and it's insane - 10 years ago you wouldn't get this quality with super expensive pro video gear. Now you get it for fraction of the price. Just anecdotal note - It's also funny to see how perception changes. Many of the classic tips you showcase on the video don't necessarily mean anything nowadays for modern content consumers. i.e - motion blur (many ppl like that sharp HD look of no motion blur - even for cinematic), Color-grading/ Lut (ppl love that crunch realistic tone that comes with that camera without the log mode) etc.

[@JakeSloan]

so true! the motion blur and even the bokeh are things that I get lots of comments about not wanting it lol

[@trailwayfilms]

If you don't have any nd filters can you add a filter in post to get the same effect?

[@JakeSloan]

No. The one exception is the diffusion filter. There is now a way to add that in post from FilmConvert halation

[@jitendranandam1]

Hi Jake - Can you please explain a bit about when to use "Continuous" focus vs "Single" focus mode on Osmo Pocket 3? I wanted to take videos when I visit any big cities. Not vlogging but just wanted to record the beauty of the city and its infrastructure. But not sure what focus mode to choose. Maybe if you could explain in what situations should we use continuous or single focus mode on OP3 with examples, that would be great. Thanks!

[@JakeSloan]

I always use continuous. single would be if you want to keep something in the foreground out of focus as you move around it to reveal what is on the other side. You would need to start the recording with it focused on the far thing then go behind the foreground item and come back out to reveal.

[@jitendranandam1]

@@JakeSloan Thanks for the explanation. I greatly value your dedication to responding to each comment.

[@CookieRoxette]

I have watched with keen interest, 30+ videos on the OSMO3. Your video however was the one which made me buy - easilly! I'm still very much learning settings and basics at the moment. Thanks so much for the advice. Where are you filming? Irrespective of the tech, I just want to visit, it looks stunning. All the best!

Thanks for these helpful tips! Which selfie stick did you choose and how does its base handle a windy day so the Pocket 3 doesn’t fall over? Also…have you had any polar bear and grizzly bear encounters while filming there in Alaska? Do you carry a .50 cal?

[@JakeSloan]

You're welcome!!

[@jasongrills3741]

Added a couple of follow-up questions! 👍😎

[@JakeSloan]

LOL no I don't carry a .50 cal. I do carry a firearm for wildlife encounters but thankfully in 30+ years I've never had to use it and yes I have had lot's of bear encounters since I used to be a guide

[@Droomaura]

But what selfie stick do you use 😮

[@bogman192]

Great video. Do you record your audio in mono or stereo? Merci.

[@JakeSloan]

Mono generally unless I want the ambient feel of what is around me

[@JarradShaw]

I shoot state and national parks. Camping, weather car style or backpacking, and showcasing the various trails that will be at those areas. Does the pocket 3 handle that? Do I need to also have my iPhone 15 pro in case the weather conditions change? PS: new DJI 2 wireless is working fantastic with the small pocket 3 gimbal in Bluetooth because both are DJI products. So… that makes me consider using the pocket 3 with mics over using an iPhone and the new mics. Please and thank you for your work. ❤

[@JakeSloan]

It does but if the weather turns bad you will need to use something else. The nice thing about the mics is you can pair it to the phone as well and use the Blackmagic camera app (free) to record great video with the DJI mic as your audio source

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Jake. Very good tutorial video. Other than getting wet. Seems Pocket 3 is more versatile than the Action 4. I been going back and forth on the one to get.

[@JakeSloan]

yeah the getting wet part is the problem, my pocket 3 has gotten splashed and keeps going but I wouldn't recommend it

[@h-dawg969]

How can you control the gimbal movements when it’s at the end of your selfie stick?

[@JakeSloan]

you can remotely connect to the pocket3 and control it with the DJI Mini app on a phone

not in D-log I expose the way I want the image to look exposure wise in D-log m

[@HillPhantom]

Great video as always, may I ask why no 24 FPS if you are going for a cinematic video?

[@JakeSloan]

you absolutely can, but for most online platforms video looks better in 30fps because they are programed/setup to run that natively (also has to do with our 60hz electrical system). I love filming in 24fps but for anything I post online I film in 30

[@HillPhantom]

@@JakeSloan thank you so much Jake! Really appreciate the tip and explaination. Its funny I always thought 24 fps looked, "stutterrry" on KZbin, I bet your explaination is the reason. Appreciate you. Cheers from Montana!

For extra light needed get any of the small panel lights from lumecube, Aputure or many other manufacturers out there. You don’t need much

[@SirrMogul]

I've been contemplating buying myself the osmo pocket 3 over the iPhone 13 for the longest now... It's safe to say this video has sealed it for me. I just don't want to make to make a financial mistake because this camera costs alot in South Africa so it's a go big or go home decision. I'll definitely take my videography to a whole different level with this.

Have you noticed strong chromatic abberation on the tree branches? I've seen it in many videos and I don't know if it depends on the settings or if it's always like this with pocket 3?

Outstanding walk though Pocket 3 Best Practices 👌- the only one I would add comes right before turning on the Pocket 3: Step 1 - walk, drive, ride or fly to a spot that looks interesting. A snowy landscape with both natural and man-made architecture as used here is ideal, but find something your viewers will enjoy! Thanks, Jake!

[@JakeSloan]

well thats also true lol, Thanks so much!

[@RaphaelChan888]

On my Pocket 3, the frame rate only goes up to 60fps for normal camera filming. The only way I can select a higher framerate is if I use the built-in Slo-Mo mode in which case I can even go up to 240fps if I select 1080p

@@JakeSloan ok thank you, I will check it out

[@BommeltjeNL]

I heard it can only do max 1 second exposures? That’s a no go for me then. I still have the Pocket (1), but I guess that’s the latest version for me than, as long as they keep this max 1 second exposure.

[@JakeSloan]

yeah unfortunately

[@matthewjsherman]

I always find my footage seems blown out even using the -0.3 setting

[@JakeSloan]

are you shooting in normal or d-log m? you may need to go to -.7 or even -1.0 depending on the lighting you are filming in

@@JakeSloan I think dlog probably helps a bit so I’ll stick with that. Can you recommend any free software that has colour grading presets, anytime I try it just makes my footage look like it has a cheap tacky filter

Subscribed. Well worth watching. Did not benefit much from your editing section. Have never used the Log function. Would love to see a video on downloading and installing the LUT, then using it. I use Resolve, so if you have it, that would be perfect.

[@JakeSloan]

I don’t use resolve typically but let me see what I can do

[@fpsFAMOUS]

D-log makes it flicker

[@JakeSloan]

mine doesn't unless you have auto exposure on sometimes in the right situations it will be adjusting too quickly

[@fpsFAMOUS]

@@JakeSloan oh ok. I saw it do that on other videos. Appreciate the reply 👍

[@battoon]

But how do you keep track of the number of shots per second if light conditions are changing all the time? If I turn the camera against the sun, I'm overexposed, if I turn it towards the forest, I'm underexposed. I don't see any way to shoot seamlessly other than autoexposure. If there are any tips on this topic - I will be glad to know the right answer.

[@JakeSloan]

you make sure each shot is just shot with the exposure in mind. set the exposure for the most important part of the shot (usually near the end of the shot) and film the entire thing that way. Alternatively you can just use auto exposure. it actually does do a very good job 😉

[@battoon]

Thanks! @@JakeSloan

[@allthecommonsense]

Is there no auto-ISO setting so you can let the ISO handle exposure with a fixed shutter speed & aperture? That’s how we handle this on a DSLR.

[@JakeSloan]

I show the auto iso settings in the settings section...

[@JakeSloan]

watch the video...

What do you expect from a camera this size? Story over image quality will always win at the end of the day

[@markjob6354]

@8:30 Shooting into the Sun is definitely not a good idea. For one thing it looks cliche, and secondly, it never has been considered to be sound photographic practice. If you want to make someone stand out from the background - particularly a bright background, then you add supplemental lighting to the subject's face, which makes them stand out from the background, plus, it looks much better than trying to hallow someone out against the greatest light source in our Galaxy ! One doesn't even require supplemental lighting to make this shot work. You can use a white or silver covered reflective material in a small card about the same size as a regular piece of paper. @ 8:55: NEVER use an effects filter with frontal lighting ! Always use rear angled lighting with the Sun over your shoulder left or right.

[@JakeSloan]

Wow I guess I’m doing almost everything wrong… this is not for photography it’s for video which is very different. Also nobody hauls around reflectors and lighting for vlogging on a pocket 3… I do agree for photo work reflectors and not backlighting in some situations makes sense and can help to shape the light in beautiful ways.

[@markjob6354]

@@JakeSloan No. You're doing everything right except those two points I referred to. Video and photography is the same thing - Some take one image at a time and you take 60 images a second. So what ? These images you take are still images, you're just taking way more of them than a still photographer. No biggie. The OSMO Pocket 3 is a beast ! 👍 I'm still rockin my OG OSMO Pocket, and it works perfectly, even after dropping it hard, and soaking it in driving rain !👀 I'm saving up my extra shekels to grab a creator combo OSMO Pocket # 3 and rock on with that soon 👌😇.

CAUTION: 30, 50 or 60 fps is not "cinematic video" It's shit (sorry). You must recorded in 24 (TWENTY FOUR!) fps. O N L Y in 24fps. 😊 50fps it's like cheap VHS. No "magic LUTes" will help to make it cinematic filmlook. 🤣
