I just got mine and I love it for all the reasons Keegan stated. I have the original (large) DJI Osmo and have had a lot of fun with it but now - WOW - move over Spielberg. I also got the combo kit and a set of K&F filters. ND filters are a must have to increase this little monsters dynamic range. 90% of the time I'm shooting in D-Log M but with only two changes to the factory mode, anybody can shoot amazing footage. Those two changes are sharpness to -2 and noise reduction to -2 as Keegan points out. You can save up to five different modes which comes in handy when I'm changing environments on the fly. I give this little camera a 5/5 and two thumbs up! Don't let the size fool you. Wait until you try the two modes of panoramic picture taking. Yes, this little monster takes great pictures too. On DJI's site, I downloaded their D-Log M to Rec.709 color grading LUT that I recommend you get. Happy trails, Keegan, keep up the good work.

[@JamiePerkins]

Great video. I just started using this camera 2 weeks ago and so far I love it

[@Ozpeter]

It's grest to hear someone appreciate the built in mic quality of the Pocket 3. It doesn't often get mentioned. It is also worth mentioning that the camera can record external mics and the internals on separate tracks for later mixing. It's a four track audio recorder which also happens to do video! The small base is great for attaching to a tripod allowing the P3 to be clipped on and off instantly, and when attached to the camera it provides a better grip if not using the battery handle. On its own the P3 is so tiny to hold. Now I will check out your Amsterdam video. In the last century (!) I used to engineer classical music recordings there from time to time. Now I live in Australia so I can no longer pop over to Amsterdam from London!

[@TheWrightTimes]

Just the OP3 recently so still learning it. Good video review

[@classsyafricancrocht1234]

This is the most honest video I've ever watched about the DJI Pocket 3, Thanks 😊

[@johnw4595]

You are good! Really enjoyed the video and your Amsterdam shots. The train one was fabulous. Good luck with your filming and exploring. I wish you well!

[@KeeganRobin]

Thank you very much!

[@LadyPosh_254]

Am really appreciating such videos coz am learning on how to set up mine

[@SpudUna]

I primarily use mine for stills. I shoot jpeg and adjust/edit in Snapseed. I’m really impressed with the results. And with the self timer or app, and on a 1200mm selfie stick ! Always level horizons and different points of view. Brilliant camera. And the battery life is exceptional.

[@themaartencaubergh]

hi, first time i here somebody that uses it primarily for stills. Why do you prefer this over your smartphone?

[@SpudUna]

@@themaartencaubergh Ergonomics. Plus no worries about level horizons. And the screen is obviously always in a position you can see. Tracking even for stills. Selfie using main camera (though I don’t selfie) Discreet size and shape. Quick to turn on and shoot. There’s probably more reasons as well. 👍🏻

[@sxnkiss8887]

Bought this camera for my small hands.. love it so much and easy to use as a beginner..

[@KeeganRobin]

great for beginners and pros too!

[@OldFrontLine]

Really useful review, thanks, some amazing footage of Amsterdam in this too!

[@MichaelSteighner]

Great video (and channel!) Wish this technology was out when I was bumbling thru Europe (several years ago). LOVE the Amsterdam Sunrise video. Safe travels!

[@grapemustard881]

your color grading is great on those Amsterdam clips!

[@KeeganRobin]

thank you 🙏 all in the powergrade 💪🏼

[@joshbeezy]

@@KeeganRobin go ahead and drop that powergrade man 😤

[@robertcsmith7773]

Excellent points and helpful video. Personally, I find the case compact, but awkward to use. I also wanted something more protective, so opted for something else. Great sunrise video. I hope you continue to have as much with your P3 as I do with mine. Cheers, Bob

[@YamRaj]

Beautiful shots man, Gonna place the order soon.

[@KeeganRobin]

Enjoy :)

[@JohnCastillo]

I’ve been looking at the DJI Osmo 3. Looks amazing and seems like a great grab and go camera. Also I think it would work great for a top down shot - much easier to rig.

[@KeeganRobin]

Hands down you should get one. With the app you can move the gimbal around so it be a great top down cam

[@Baldcafe]

You can do anything with the pocket 3. The only downside for me is the out of focus background. I actually don’t like that. Pocket 2 is better in that regard.

[@KeeganRobin]

that's fair. I personally dig the blur, only because I'm using it to replace vlogging on my bigger cameras and i'm used to blurred backgrounds

[@nexttothemoon1]

@@KeeganRobin I'm stating the obvious... but there's basically 2 camps... those that maybe come from more of a photography background and like that "bokeh" look... and those that are more action cam oriented and prefer everything in focus. I don't think there's a right or wrong... just personal preference. I mean some people literally pay hundreds of dollars for a single lens on full frame cameras that produce that blur/bokeh so there's certainly a market for that "look" out there. DJI seems like a decent compromise... you can get that blur in the vlogging/selfie format but flip it around and you can still get those clear shots of scenery/landscapes etc.

[@epos_rising]

Cool video, well done ! Why is there no option to trigger dynamic framing and spinshot remotely in the dji mimo app though ? Also it would be nice if spinshot did 360 and not just 180.

[@abyshines]

You almost tempted me to buy this, al things good except the tiny screen is the dealbreaker and takes away the joy of filmmaking, great audio, great video, good voice, all things great 👍

[@KeeganRobin]

yeah it's nearly a home run. but i think the screen is a small drawback compared to everything else it's got, still worth it imo!

[@Ozpeter]

You can easily mount a phone to it, and then you have got a bigger screen than a DSLR.

[@abyshines]

@@Ozpeter that's fine but amidst creating a shot, finding the right scene, trying to add a phone to it defeats the purpose, run and gun video shooting? Hope you're get what I am saying! It's almost perfect but the screen!

[@abyshines]

@@KeeganRobin brings more creativity, and guess the spoiler, dji pocket 4 is around the corner 🤣

[@JohnnyRellative]

Hei :) When filming in Amsterdam did you use any kind of Wide or Anamorphic Lens? I know you said that you were moving "further away" to give that wide-look appearance... but if you could please confirm that'd be great! I'm looking into buying or not some wide & anamorphic from a brand. In case all your video was done without , and wondering if I need them or now. Your footage looks amazing btw. Thanks!

[@KeeganRobin]

hi there, didn't use any extra lenses for this video, only the VND filters! on the OP3 i just use the guidelines and later in the edit crop in the top and bottom to get the wide look

[@chencardoza]

Good point!

[@ronineditor9920]

Is the Osmo camera basically just a drone camera but handheld? (That would be a good thing, I've had DJI drones for 10 years, love the image I can get out of them.)

[@KeeganRobin]

actually yes haha. even new DJI drones give the ability to reduce the sharpness and noise reduction.

[@britolabs161]

Hello, how did you get the black lines after editing in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio? Thank you

[@marie_frances]

What settings are you using?

[@dumspyrospero]

Love those practical reviews! Great work! Is there an easy way to mount it on chest level for filming POVs and BTS?

[@KeeganRobin]

yep, you can get a gopro mount that wraps around the OP3 (on amazon), and the gopro chest strap.

[@dumspyrospero]

@@KeeganRobinoh great idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@sensuparman34]

What about the optical zoom & selfie stick with remote control. I would expect at least 10x optical zoom

[@1965Singaporean]

Wow!

[@kouleeofficial]

I would like for it to be able to set the setting to manual as well.

[@KeeganRobin]

You can do full manual controls on it

[@roody9986]

Color recovery would be nice too. Also d-log M IS NOT log . Would be nice to have the same Log profile recognized by Davinci color profile like the Mavic 3 log.

[@SirKelvin]

All the way from Kenya Nairobi. Would you kindly advise me on what the BEST, BEEST, tripod you use for DJI, please ?! - For outdoors and indoors, something light

[@sxnkiss8887]

Maybe you can check from Ulanzi MT-79 travel, I bought one for traveling and it's been great for indoors and outdoors..

[@SirKelvin]

@sxnkiss8887 Thank you a milli. Am glad someone replied. You've been of great help.

[@soumyaprateeksahu514]

Beautiful Video. Some really Amazing Footage. 👌👌👌 By the way, which software to use for colour grading if shooting in D-LOG mode...?? Please suggest 😊😊

[@KeeganRobin]

thanks! i use davinci resolve for grading

[@soumyaprateeksahu514]

@@KeeganRobin Thank you for taking out the time to suggest. Appreciate

[@amychiu3571]

For the 10-bit color, you shoot the video after you adjust the settings or afterwards as a post-production thing? I'm thinking about getting one for my Melbourne trip, but I am by no means a vlogger. I'm just interested in using it to film my experience at the Australian Open next year. Do you use the wide angle lens adapter often when shooting videos?

[@KeeganRobin]

hi, the 10-bit color is automatic when you shoot in any color mode. i haven't used it much, I don't find it adds a lot, plus I use VND filters on the front of the lens instead

[@amychiu3571]

@@KeeganRobin thank you for the feedback

[@Ozpeter]

On my unmonitized channel there is a fairly new video shot with the Pocket 3 on full auto with no grading, in Melbourne where I live. That shows you the video quality 'out of the box'.

[@michaelchanhthasenh]

Sucks to be partially or full deaf for that feature but love the video man!

[@johnstkenneth]

Nice video I love the freedom of van life. Are you touring in Europe with you're U.S plate van? or do you lived up there in Europe? How much did you pay to transport you're van on the ship?

[@KeeganRobin]

hey, I rented the Van in France when I went over there. but definitely hoping to convert my own van up in canada

[@johnstkenneth]

@@KeeganRobin Oo I see. I'm getting off road van and convert it into tidy home

[@ChùaViệtNam-j6v]

[@KevinScherrer]

When I leave my battery base on, it drains it even if the camera is fully charged. I only use the battery base when my camera battery is low. Anyone seeing this issue?

[@Piggyeveryday]

May I know what software you use to grade the footage? Thanks

[@KeeganRobin]

Resolve 💪🏻

[@marco21274]

I really would like that they add false colors.

[@stkuj]

I have the 2.35:1 aspect ratio set & 16:9, but don't see the "black bars (crop)" Is there another setting that I forgot?

[@KeeganRobin]

It’s just a simple guide line, you have to add the bars in editing

[@SpudUna]

@@KeeganRobinYes but too faint. A complete blackout would be preferable

[@reedeema]

Any Chance on getring our Hands on your Powergrade ? 😃

[@KeeganRobin]

Oooh maybe! I’d like to make a video about editing this project. So I could likely do it from there.

[@KeeganRobin]

done! bit.ly/3B5pmb7 the LUT is also available for free :)

[@MartinKarel]

Also no auto exposure lock on the camera itself yet can be done in the phone app. 🤦‍♂️

[@KeeganRobin]

They could easily add a few things in a firmware update and it would be practically perfect.

[@MartinKarel]

@@KeeganRobin Yep. It already exists on their less “professional” Action series and yet hasn’t been on the Pocket in all these years since the first one. Don’t understand why it’s so difficult. 🤷‍♂️

[@sc1]

I like how inconspicuous it is.

[@BtrDaze]

Isn’t it fragile and gimbal easy to break

[@KeeganRobin]

it's not an action cam. if you have your pro camera on a Ronin gimbal you're going to be careful with it - the OP3 is no different. if you want durability get the osmo action

[@shahidwiggins]

It’s not an action camera

[@SpudUna]

I have seen a few on eBay described as parts only. I don’t use mine as an action camera but I’m aware how easy it would be to damage

[@BtrDaze]

@@shahidwiggins ya don’t say

[@bevinmore]

Yea if you want rhe same wide shot all the time

[@piotr.wozniak]

The bag is terrible, should be 20 percent bigger, sometimes is hard to close it, no chance to add anything more to it. Terrible

[@KeeganRobin]

You can lay everything in there perfectly and it’s closeable. Just can’t add a filter set or anything. It would’ve been cool but also I appreciate the compactness

[@leamonkits]

Check out Ulanzi. They sell a larger bag for the Pocket 3 that is excellent.
