The difference between VPV and FPV-T is when you turn on the camera or re-center it with the double click in FPV, the camera aligns with the horizon, allowing you to hold the Pocket 3 as you want. In FPV-T it's always aligned perpendicular to the screen - this is a must have for POV shots

you could swipe out the confirmation screen when connecting the microphone 🙂

The one thing I would LOVE to see on the next update is a "focus speed" setting. So we can do some nice rack-focus changes while recording.

This new gimble mode is exactly what I needed. I dont vlog. I wanted more for gatherings at my home. This Easter we had a big dinner and friends that were returning to France for good. Buy the end of the night we were all having a good time with our player piano. Here's where I missed some really good shots because of the gimble. My natural instinct to move my wrist at the subject. But, when one person suddenly got on his knees professing his undying love for his wife I lost him. I tried to use the joystick but just was not fast enough. I been using this new gimble mode since it came out and its perfect. Like chasing my cat around the house. I consider it an Aciton Camera Mode that's far more stable than my action camera. Now, I would like to see more photo capabilities. Like being able to use dynamic framing for selfies. Actually, I think this mode should be a setting for all follow modes.

loving this video, can you make one talking about all the functions on the DJI mic2 I only use 1 of 3 buttons on it

[СерёжаВолкодав]

We need to be able to turn off notifications and turn off the zoom function, which constantly appears when you want to make a turn with the joystick.

I'd like more colour grading options, as I find some a little confusing. Just to have great colour straight from the dji please. The standard I feel doesnt really allow colours to pop and be vibrant

[SLevinCinema]

I'd love a gimbal mode that is a way to use the lock function without having to hold a button and just toggle it on or off.

[Radian]

I'd like to see longer exposure option added. Currently limited to 1 second shutter speed. Osmo Action goes all the way to 60 second shutter speed.

I don’t know if this has to deal with the OP3 or the app but transferring files to my phone from the app is such a hassle. Only work around I’ve found is to have my phone on airplane mode. If not then it doesn’t work

[ksightandsound]

its subtle because you have to change the speed of the rotation to fast action... and it basically works as turning it into a action camera of sorts if i point down or up it will be where ever the lcd screen is more like a non gimbal camera. but yah switch to fast action it makes a big diff.

[meditatingdog]

I heard that they introduced FPV lock because they are going to come up with their own aquabox and in order for the gimbal to move only within the viewport, it can't rotate much in any direction.

[Throp]

awesome thank you. did't know about that lock mode. I think the live stream mode could be a bit more seamless particularly when connecting thorough your phone's hotspot. This could be a game changer for mobile live streamers

[epos_rising]

Very informative, thank you ! I'd like to track myself in FPV mode in portrait in 4K. Does this mean i need to shoot with the camera horizontally rotated 90 degrees? Would you recommend an adapter to mount it on a tripod while it is turned horizontally?

[jeremyreichwein]

Thanks for another great video! The feature I require most is adjustable gain on the internal mic, not sure why its not available seems like a basic necessity. Thanks

[DeeAngelUK]

Cannot wait to update! Absolutely loving this camera. Its making vlogging so much easier for me!

[babyboy]

If I just wanted to use this as a static camera say in the studio or locked down on a tripod with me just sitting still with this be the best gimbal mode to use? What would be the best mode for just a static talking head-shot?

[adz-qlkv]

3:22 you don't have to wait for the confirmation screen to disappear anymore. you can now slide it off the screen with your finger. this was introduced in THIS UPDATE!! ... so you missed out on an opportunity in this video.

[Pascal]

It’s as if the algorithm read my mind. I’ve been wanting to search for this video since the last few days. Thank you.

[EddieStudios]

It's pointless. The fpv lock mode. I noticed nothing. I want them to add a manual focus mode with where you can slide something like the zoom slider to change focus. And even the ability to set an A and B focus point before recording on the mimo app then you could select which one to focus on when. You could decide how fast it moves focus also. This is available on most Sony xperia phones. It's very cinematic and opens up some really cool capabilities.
