Fantastically useful video, thank you so much!

[@OttoJulian_]

Glad it was helpful!

[@voiceoverguyharris]

Thank you so much. Helped me decide 🙏👍👍👍

[@OttoJulian_]

Glad I could help

[@kandekore]

Excellent review thanks. I’m going for the Osmo

[@OttoJulian_]

that's great!

[@bugatti314159]

Thanks for this review. Exactly the two cameras I've been looking at. I've decided I need both 😄

[@MJCanga]

Lol😅

[@joao.ebn.youtube]

Each one has advantages and disadvantages... I guess one completes the other. I do have a GP12, but I guess that if I'd had to choose one to be my trip friend, definitely would be the OP3, mainly because of his size and the gimbal movements... and his performance at very low light with pratically no noise. I have watched a bunch of reviews, especially comparisons between these 2 cameras and yours is by far the most complete 👏

[@OttoJulian_]

Yes, I agree with you when you said that both have their own advantages and cons as well. Thanks for your feedback, it means a lot

[@AntonisK]

dji could also apply digital is to improve the up and down motion but the sensor does not have enough mp to do so

[@OttoJulian_]

That would be a nice and interesting combo!

[@AntonisK]

@@OttoJulian_ yes gimbal with eis would be unbeatable now eis seems better than gimbal in daylight

[@Inpreesme]

Thank you Otto

[@OttoJulian_]

Thanks Kevin!

[@bestyou774]

Great video. I am not very experienced with video but I like hiking and I would like to video my hikes. Which would be best for this?

[@OttoJulian_]

On a recent trip to San Diego I used the P3 mostly for all my hiking adventures. It needs more baby-sitting because the gimbal is more fragile in general, but Gopro 12 doesn't have some features that the P3 has

[@Shestillbeleives]

Merci! Very enlightening however still difficult to make my choice

[@OttoJulian_]

I'd go with the Pocket 3 unless you need to use it underwater, you can't take care of the gimbal itself or if you don't want to pay $$$ for it. Consider the P3 for low light environments

[@Shestillbeleives]

@OttoJulian_ thanks - I also came with this decision & P3 has been ordered ! Thanks again for your thorough review. Can't wait !

[@Komikino]

I'm loving my OP3! :)

[@OttoJulian_]

Me too!

[@HomelabTim]

Great video! I recently went on a trip to Disney world filmed everything vlog style with my hero 12 I liked it but low light was a very difficult thing …. I am thinking of switching to the pocket 3 for vlogging but idk if the $600+ price point can justify it ….. what are everyone’s thoughts ?? Try and master the GoPro as my vlogging camera or bite the bullet and get a pocket 3

[@OttoJulian_]

Yeah the GoPro for low light is going to be challenging and some people don’t care about it, others like myself will not have it. I think memories are priceless, the Pocket 3 is a nice camera, just be mindful that it’s not exactly point and shoot

[@uncleyap69]

So. Will using an external light matter

[@CharlieSilverlock]

Hi Otto, on my Pocket 2 i used to be able to connect a usb c to lightening cable to my iphone 12 pro max and get a live video feed from the Pocket 2 via Mimo app. There was no latency and it stopped the overheat in hot climates (not using bluetooth) while providing a larger monitor. I’ve tried this on the Pocket 3 and it seems not to work the same way. Do have any advice on this? As far as I can see the Pocket 3 doesn’t support video feed out like the older Pocket 2 😔 It’s a real shame.

[@OttoJulian_]

@@CharlieSilverlock you can do that wirelessly (P3 will connect to your phone without cables)

[@ghostindamachine]

Sorry but at 2:25 the GoPro has far, far more detail then the Pocket 3. Just look at the wooden planks, the surface of the concrete. The Pocket 3 just smooth everything out, whilst the GoPro has incredible details.

[@OttoJulian_]

No need to be sorry, thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@1_lens_view]

Great review. I'd say if one is already invested in either ecosystem, stay there. For people who have multiple accessories with either of these systems, I don't see enough of an advantage one way or the other to throw away hundreds or even thousands of dollars for marginally different outcome. For most people, more benefit will come from focusing on becoming better using what they have to get better at the craft. That said, the development of the DJI system bears watching. I'll be interested in another look when the 4 is out.

[@OttoJulian_]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Many accessories that work for the GoPro will work with other cameras since they adopted their mounting system. If someone is too invested then it probably doesn’t make sense, but for the casual user that doesn’t have too many things it’s ok if they want to switch to a system that suits their needs more. Then again, you are right about getting better with what they have. 🙂

[@saKura-pu7vw]

Gopro needs to step it up

[@OttoJulian_]

They do

[@isaaccontee]

is there any change if i put gopro on a gimbal? for low light/noise reduction

[@OttoJulian_]

yes it will help to avoid the motion blur

[@HeHeHoLo]

DJI the picture kinda looks like it has some filter on, I think I will go with GoPro. The only thing that makes me worry is GoPro tempter is too high after using 30 mins.

[@HeHeHoLo]

also do you mind tell me which camera Model did you use in this video? Looks great

[@OttoJulian_]

Hi, yeah people look for different things in the camera. Gopro does overheat quite quickly indeed. Have you considered the Action 4? The camera I use is the Sony A7IV

[@anianait]

I prefer rhe Pocket 3, for its image quality (higher dynamic range and low light)

[@OttoJulian_]

Oh yeah, no doubt

[@somewheregreenandblue]

I just started using dlogm on the OP3 and for me, there's no turning back.

[@OttoJulian_]

You are not alone!

[@_akhileshthakur]

Im confused between them. I want a camera for my personal memories not for Social media. I rarely go on trips also have budget issues. Don't care about the portability. I'm using iPhone 14 is gopro camera even worse than my phone in low lights??

[@OttoJulian_]

I'd stick with your iPhone 14 for low light to be honest. Get the P3 for memories, I know what you mean and you will be thankful in a few years

[@strix671]

Can u compare cinematic video shots of these 2 side by side at 4k resolution? Plz

[@OttoJulian_]

we'll see, I won't be using the GoPro 12 too much after this last video.

[@abo-adam2857]

Gopro Is it good for shooting video of cats at home or should I go with another camera? Thank you

[@OttoJulian_]

The GoPro is not particularly good for indoors, unless you have plenty of light. I would consider the Insta360 Ace Pro and maybe the DJI Action 4. I have a few videos talking about them on my channel

[@NishakaWickrama]

To me even Original DJI Osmo pocket better then GoPro Hero 12. So Pocket 3....wow in the sky!

[@OttoJulian_]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@Transform4life]

What is the best underwater camera overall out there?

[@OttoJulian_]

I'd recommend the Action 4 or the Ace Pro.

[@Transform4life]

@@OttoJulian_ I will give them a look. Thank you

[@Saint0120]

I wanna record trips and take pictures of the fam without carrying a bulky cam, is the DJI worth it?

[@OttoJulian_]

I do like it a lot, this is what I used for some personal videos that I made in my last trip, while having the choice to use other smaller cameras

[@MartinHJ]

"There is a TINY problem with the stabilization on the GoPro when there is'nt enough light" 😄 Well that's a tiny understatement... The GoPro is useless when it's not enough light is more correct 😊 Pocket 3 on the other hand is amazing in low light 🙏 Have both cameras and they are both great in their own way 😊

[@OttoJulian_]

I have used these cameras quite a lot and I have to give the GoPro some credit under some circumstances in low light, but you are right, in most cases it's just going to be bad, specially compared to a low light monster such as the P3

[@Gmnx481]

Which one is good pocket 3 or GoPro 12

[@OttoJulian_]

which one did you feel that would be better for you after watching the video?

[@rose-su7nd]

@@OttoJulian_ pocket 3

[@juhaaavalaakso455]

I have Pocket 3 for all videos except action and I have Action 4 for action. Those are totally different cameras for different use case. Also the best part of Pocket 3 that pixel size is 3.2u and it is not quad based pixel. It is totally some voodoo sh*t in low light. Can see nearly in total darkness where action cam low light breaks even in indoor lights on.

[@OttoJulian_]

Voodoo s***! That’s the word I’ve been looking for lately lol. Thanks, I agree. Of course the intention of these kind of videos is to help others who can’t or don’t want to have more than 1 camera. It comes down to everyone’s needs as I said in the video.

[@Bad888Max]

I want them both and i hate myself 🎉😂

[@OttoJulian_]

GoPro 13 will probably be finally better in a few months

[@Tom_and_lucy_3]

Shooting a video of house cats...it is better ???

[@OttoJulian_]

gopro indoors is not going to give you good results, unless you have extremely bright lights

[@Tom_and_lucy_3]

@@OttoJulian_ thanks ... LED lights 🤔🤔

[@PGokoel-tv4wu]

For me the dji osmo pocket 3 wins because off his 1inch sensor

[@OttoJulian_]

Yeah it makes a significant difference.

[@mikhail823]

30 sec in and I already know lol

[@OttoJulian_]

know....?

[@ArsalanVlogsOfficiaI]

gopro more better for outdoor and travel vlogs

[@OttoJulian_]

For outdoor sports or water related videos sure, for general outdoor videos and travel it will depend on each person’s own shooting style. I just came back from a 15 day trip and my GoPro stayed home without being missed

[@authorjewelallen]

@@OttoJulian_so you used the pocket 3 when you traveled?

I always bring the P3 when traveling
