The best at the very last end. We are all that girl!

[@itsr7studio]

💯 Omar fans are everywhere!

[@bokusimondesu]

yup - for me you'd need to add in a pause for, disbelief, uncertainty and then realization. 😅

[@WorkingMommieJ]

That girl is me!!!! I am so happy that I got to meet you and thanks for not being weird lol

[@ogonzilla]

You're the best!

[@rezjrprod]

Lol amazing so sweet.

[@timrosenthal46]

The lady at the end ...gold !!

[@solidstream13]

I just love everything about your channel. the technical info. the humor etc and to top it off I bought the same Trumans this morning

[@babyboy1971]

I forgot how good you are. You turned me onto the ZV1 and the Fuji series. This is such a real and down to earth video. I want the DJI pocket 3, but I like how you don’t sugarcoat it. I love all cameras, from GoPro to Nikon and I’m glad you keep it real. The tool is me.

[@louis0118]

Outstanding job. I've watched soooo many reviews of the Osmo Pocket 3 that I'm bleary-eyed. Thank you for being so smooth with your delivery, easy to understand, and adding just a little humor. I'm now a subscriber and will check out your other videos.

[@RWAquariumPages]

such a great honest, unbiased review. i am thinking of picking one up, almost there, 20 more reviews to watch :) but this one is the best so far

[@QuicknStraight]

Come on Omar, comparing the Pocket 3 with eh Zf/A7ii is hardly a fair fight! And certainly the price differential is huge. I don't think the lowlight footage is that bad, either. I watched this video on a 40" native 4K screen and it looked just fine. Personally, I don't want everything in the background out of focus when I am vlogging, so the action cam mostly does a decent job. I am still using an Insta360 RS with Leica 1" mod and, right now, the Pocket 3 is the only thing I'd consider upgrading to.

[@earledelrosario4200]

Since the focus and the exposure can be controlled it can look better than just quick casual footage, even though It’s wide angle and the depth of field is not shallow.

[@ronhyde8758]

I have no use for this type of camera but I watch all videos. I started when I bought a used X-T20 and wanted help, your output has been keeping me entertained ever since😍

[@JayMacPhoto78]

Loved your video. They have the expansion adapter, a gopro adapter, and something like the peak design capture clip and you can go hands free by attaching the DJI to your back pack or sling bag. 🙂 Cheers!

[@rgarrettphoto]

“Amateur like myself” … Wait, what? You is no amateur Omar

[@amermeleitor]

Some action cameras can produce very decent video quality if you configure it well. I hope DJI make a normal mirrorless camera in the near future. DJI is part of the L Mount Alliance, so they have the mount, the color science, menus and UI, maybe only need to develop a proper autofocus

[@johnnyc.5979]

I've seen a few videos suggesting NOT to buy this camera. It fails without warning, at critical moments. I was so ready to buy this, but then I decided not to. And I heard the registration for this camera is a nightmare, you can use the camera for 2 weeks, until it won't allow you to use it unless you register. 10 minutes later: However after watching the rest of your video, I do have to say though that your complaints are kind of over the top. Despite the issues with this camera dying without notice, the footage is incredible. I don't know how you can otherwise find issues with it. I still might consider purchasing it with the replacement coverage. You are being too critical, I think for the price the video is outstanding.

[@JoeSzilagy]

I have an a7C and Pocket 3 too, and was planning to bring the a7C (with a Weebill S gimbal) to London someday. But the thought of carrying around the little, light Pocket 3 (instead of the bigger, much heavier a7C) is much more appealing, and I think my forearm will thank me!

[@PaulCrouse]

You nailed the ending! 😊

[@rezjrprod]

Love that ending. ❤😂

[@charliejg]

Love Freemont Street Experience!! Ha! I know you!! OMG!1 LOL! A star is born... Glad you had a great time in Vegas....

[@SofyaBarth]

Love the Bar-Mitzvah Photos :)

[@jeffreyfleming4016]

Very nice review Omar. 😊👍

[@Capcity44]

You’re the best, Omar.

[@fed02]

Let me start by saying, i love your videos. Honest and real. Just wannna share that the expectations from such a tiny camera, should be moderated. I love the osmo pockets because my young kids can just pick it up and do a relatively good video. Nothing really for commercial purposes. Just for the fun of it.

[@jeffreyagnes2232]

This is the kind of review that i want to watch. The main reason i'd get this is to have something reliable to point and record.

[@Silverginger]

Nice video,thank you. I'm surprised you didn't use the Low Light mode indoors, which is much better than regular video , to my eyes . I believe they bump up the ISO and apply noise reduction in camera. Thanks again 👍👍

[@kn314159]

Just curious the low light quality comparison between pocket 3 and insta360 Ace pro. 😊

[@Ozpeter]

I really enjoyed this, great work. But here's a little tip. When you use the tracking feature in selfie mode, if you don't like the framing, just reframe using the joystick like you did, but keep the tracking on. The camera will then follow you with your reframing preserved.

[@DrunkPhotography]

You’ve covered everything I wanted to know, even the things you were shooting, and I’m getting tired of assembling my action cams, putting on cases and adaptors to get a GoPro mound to put now a selfie stick on… annoying. This I can just turn on and go, done! I appreciate the review.

[@dwhittle]

I am SO happy you mentioned the whole DJI-DGI thing which has been driving me insane for years (I have thus far restrained myself from leaving comments on anyone's channel)😂 Thanks!

[@dicekolev5360]

Dji pays those guys on a regular basis so if they don't give a fuck why should you 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Great video 👍👍. I’m on the fence about buying the Pocket 3. I vlog with a Sony mirrorless and GoPro cameras. I switch depending on the situation. The GoPro cameras are great for the “on the move” adventures or when I just want to pack light. Like you said, it’s all about the content anyway. I’m wondering could the Pocket 3 survive hiking and exploring. I’ll be moving around a lot more as the weather gets better and the durability of the pocket 3 concerns me.

[@ogonzilla]

In good light the Gopro (with the right settings) is fine! Took a quick look at your latest...Florida light thumbs up

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

@@ogonzilla thank you! I’ll be back in Florida soon. I’ll wait for the Avata 2 to be released before buying the Pocket 3. That drone might be more useful than another vlogging option. It should be released in a few weeks.

[@juhaaavalaakso455]

Image is better than I had it with my Sony handycam using MiniDV tapes. People are too nerds these days. The most important thing in video is the story, audio and lighting. And people still dont understand that colors are different in different screens they are watching it. It is not the same. What fits for you may look terrible for others. I have been working IT like 30 years and even today different screen shows colors extremely different than others. Same thing with Mics. Some mics works better with other devices. It is not that 1 mic is best for everything. You have to figure it out what works where the best.

[@mercurybird9711]

Used the first gen Osmo cameras on a classic car series to shoot the interior of the car while driving. Worked pretty well but the grading/camera matching was murder! These newer models look a bit better for sure.

[@zblsk]

This one has a bigger sensor than the previous ✌🏻

[@hunterfrederick2731]

I heard that you can use the face tracking, move it so that you’re in a different position and it will keep you in that position even when you’re moving with face tracking

[@pixelpeach193]

Was hoping to see your opinion of the 3K vertical shooting - have you tested that yet?

[@NOTLeavingLV]

You can strap the pocket 3 to yourself. You just need the proper strap. Also, try anything in a casino with an action cam and it falls apart. Digital stabilization doesn’t work. I bought this camera just for casinos and the strip because it’s so small.

[@slglasius]

Wat is your Nikon kit for events or weddings? Split between Sony and Nikon. Tammy 35-150 looks like a 1 lens deal. But with the ZF it might be awkward. Great vid like always

[@ogonzilla]

Z8, Zf, A74

[@slglasius]

​@@ogonzillathnx, 3body setup? What lens kit do you use? Especially for Nikon?

[@redsox7897]

I'm still debating whether I should get pocket 3 or sony zv1 mark 1. Please help me decide 🙏

[@SilatShooter]

One of the better video on the DGI Pocket 3...like the candid real use commentary. Like you I was seduced to buying one by Brandon Li. Using mine but not 'in love with it'. Agree want to use it in its simplest set-up and not have to do the post work. Thanks for the work to put this here.

[@dunnymonster]

Shout out for the " You like..." @ 3.26 😂

[@stkuj]

I like using the mist and ND filters in my videos on the pocket 3.

[@AmeliaHeldt]

FINALLY! Someone else noticed that everyone seems to say "dee gee eye" 😂 I thought it was just the American accent or something haha

[@Abubakarkp01]

0:02 what’s the model of the tripod?

[@rezjrprod]

I agree and the flat profile.. It's not much better

[@martintolley9234]

OK. How just HOW did you get that lanyard wrist strap thing attached? And boy is it difficult to get that microSD card in and out without some sort of elf-like finger nails.

[@ogonzilla]

It was so impossible. lol...I used a paper clip

[@gbej1]

The footages from the DJI Osmo P3, for the camera it is, were very good including those shot in low light which I’m guessing were done without using the low light mode. Also, every camera you use to shoot a video without using a mic will pick up background noise. Finally, the Sony A7C with a gimbal, mic and lenses cost thousands which is way more so not a fair comparison with the DJI

[@ahmetceran00]

I got one brilliant question and you might be the only person who can answer that: Can you do motovlog with this thing?

[@renevp2]

I don't own one, I do have a bike but I wouldn't recommend it, I think the gimbal suffers at high speeds. Maybe for some slow speed shots but nothing too extreme.

[@macwestcanon]

need a 1 hour documentary on J lo body double .

[@ogonzilla]

lol...

[@jhc6608]

3:28 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ryanthomas9306]

I like the colors in normal profile :(. - sharpening of course

[@forgedfromfreedom]

Good afternoon!

[@DJFAmenHeavy]

Thursday Captain boots. Great bang for the buck

[@ejguerrero]

I was 100% considering buying OP3 until I decided to use my Fuji X-S10 for video. I'm so happy I did. My OP3 money is now going to another lens for my X-S10. 😂

[@evindrews]

"It's the tool behind the camera" hahah

[@TravisHam]

I think I’d delightedly freak out a little too if I ran into you in the wild. 😂

[@ConcietedMuchXD]

LMAO @ Dee gee eye. I have heard so many people say DGI that I have started saying it myself. I wonder why they are saying DGI?

[@bingbong4848]

She thought you were Potato Jet 😂

[@potentsupply]

I thought I was going crazy😂 it’s D(J)I lol I almost started 2nd guessing myself

[@danwall5073]

You can get an attachment to wear it for pov rather than trying to hold it. Saying that I'd rather use an insta360 go3 for that than the osmo...

[@image-i-nation-photography]

I love mine

[@AREDITS77]

Ive been saying that its the person who is behind the camera every has a different skill set and creative mind

[@aditya_gupta]

idk man...the footage looked pretty good to me on my phone.... better than zv1

[@JackieDElia]

This was so good, Omar. Loved the whole video. Balanced and informative too!

[@mundanestreet7874]

*googles true man shoes*

[@jotjotzzz5357]

It looks very good for talking head captures. But so is your iPhone probably 😆

[@MikeMena]

We like 😂

[@alanc6416]

I went on a trip and finally decided to get the DJI Pocket 2, instead of the 3, because it does everything that the 3 does but at 1/3 the price. Yes the video quality might be a little better, but for its purpose, it doesn't make much of a difference. I still shoot with my Fuji by the way, unlike you! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

The quality is very good 🤝😎

[@katesavage2001]

I love the lovely woman at the end.

[@strangepecos04]

So damn negative. I have the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for a few days now and I love it. Seems like this guy is just too critical.

[@bokusimondesu]

I like your honesty. Also, I appreciate your "NF's given" way of presenting. 😊

[@ogonzilla]

I appreciate that!

[@bokusimondesu]

😊

[@GaryFerguson]

lol nice boote

[@wilfs1196]

Great video, learned a lot about the product which was the important part.

[@cameraz99]

Great video. But I can't decide what I wanted to see more of -- the J-Lo body double, or the Suzuki!

[@artpertures860]

Nice video Omar, In order to get the best sound from the microphone it’s best to use the separate record in the mic 2 with the usb-c directly plug to the computer, synchronized it with the video and main audio then lower the ambiant sound of the default record to your taste if windy front and back mic only of the device (in the pro section). 2nd observation if manual white balance it’s slightly cooler (an additional few hundred k improve the overall sensation with the Lut applied afterward ) We are all like the girl in the last ten seconds , would love to share with you some good backs for all the help/ feedback experience you usually bring on this Chanel!

[@ogonzilla]

Agree...Audio makes a huge difference.

[@HouseOwl]

DJ's Don't Have Eyes. They C With Their Ears 🤡

[@raywu6787]

AT 2:21, the biggest shortage of DJI Pocket video is well displayed that its sky color is too fake to be true or acceptible.
