Hello everybody - this video is purely informative. I was perhaps a bit harsh with the pocket 3 but it's nothing personal. I like the Pocket 3 and will continue to use it - so enjoy the video! 😉

Can't say I agree with a lot of what you have said. No device is perfect. Some of this is really nitpicking. Not beginner friendly - I don't agree with that. This is also not an action camera, so I don't know why you would even bother to take it skiing or running or even take it out in the rain. Some pretty obvious things here that really didn't need to be discussed in a video as negatives, when common sense is applied.

#3 is incorrect. You can set yourself in any of 9 spots within the frame to track you and keep you there. Also, saying you may not want to print something at 9mpix made me lol. As a sports photojournalist for 25yrs, I've had images that were barely 5mpix printed on the side of a bus and on billboards. Granted. For today's standards, you're definitely correct. But wow have people over exaggerated the need for so many megapixels to make a decent print. Appreciate you content... Just wanted to express a couple of my thoughts on this tool. Thanks!

This is why I'm waiting for the Pocket 4... DJI has to accept the fact that portait content is getting popular (especially in social media like FB & Instagram Stories, Youtube Shorts, and Tiktok). I believe they will address the weaknesses in the next version

6:39 - The iPhone 15 Pro Max skin tones look awful. It makes you look like you got a bad spray tan. You could probably fix either one in post, but the DJI looks MUCH better. A little pale, perhaps, but not orange.

Hi! Thanks a lot. I watched lots of videos about about DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and I think this is the best and most honest one.

There is no perfect device. You always need to compromise.
Phone (highend): always with you. Mostly waterproof (but not for diving). Good quality for video and photo. Not that good quality/stabilization in low light. If you not have powerbank then probably you will loss battery fast. You can't use it in some conditions or for some shots.
Action cam: Good video quality. Can be used for diving. Not that good quality/stabilization in low light. Small and not easy to break. Removable batteries. Secondary device so you can use your phone for other jobs. Everything in focus.
Pocket: Very good video quality and very good stabilization even in low light. Not everything in focus. Very portable but also easy to break. Tracking. Can be used for some shots like fake dron.
Camera: Very very good image and video quality but often not good stabilization. Replacable lenses. It is not compact and often you need to take with you many lenses. Probably you need gimbal to take good shots.

I ordered but canceled the OP3 and will order the Insta360 X4 once funds comes back. I still have the OP1 but I mostly upload on IG and it’s still a banger. I have an old Insta360 cam that I don’t use because of chipped lenses. So I’ve been missing the cool unique shots I could create. I think the X4 will give me more uses and creativity plus I like some of their Shot Lab edits. Plus it’s waterproof. I haven’t had any water shots since my Insta got chipped and I don’t really want to dip my phone under water. I’ll get the OP3 once it’s cheaper, I can create more “cinematic” content with that than the X4. But I want to create more unique and action footage again. Thanks for the vid

I like your reviews because you evertime explored the unexplored😎

I love pocket 3. As a beginner, perfect for me. Everywhere gym, running..

[bipingiri]

thank you, I discovered number 5 issue and I wasn't sure if this was normal or not. Almost returned my camera for exchange lol. Yea it definitely sucks gimble won't go even half when you move left of the frame, but when you move right it almost makes full turn, this doesn't make sense. So I turn the gimble half way to my left, which kinda sucks too as you can't see the screen properly.

I'm so glad I bought the Osmo Pocket 3. It's so easy to use and the image stabilization is amazing. I've been able to capture some incredible footage with it, even in low light conditions. If you're looking for a great camera for vlogging or travel photography, I highly recommend the Osmo Pocket 3.

I’m a professional photographer and new to GoPro. I also have a Sony zv1 and I’m about to buy an Osmo pocket 3. The fandom and saltiness of the GoPro vs DJI is hilarious. They are all great cameras, it reminds me of the Xbox vs PlayStation debate or Canon vs. Nikon. Silliness.

[TheOkever]

Great informative video!! I have a question, you said that the camera could be difficult to use for a beginner who would like to take quick and easy videos for trips. I would consider myself as a beginner. I would like to know if the OP3 or the Dji Action 4 are more suited for me. I am planning to take it for a trip to Bali later this year. Would the Action 4 be best for a beginner like myself? Thank you!!

No camera is perfect .. even the expensive camera.. we buy what we can afford and what works for us the best

[danludvigsen]

bought pocket 3 a few weeks ago and i have been waiting for pocket 3. i need a small anonymous sized camera for vacation and travel that are also comfortable to hold. my Samsung s23 on last vacation was NOT comfortable to hold for longer periods. so in may i will be testing my pocket 3 in Thailand. i hope it will do good.

[Ghost-qixl]

Nit picking… it’s an awesome camera for the price sure it’s not a A7s3 but it’s good enough… nobody likes walking around holding a three thousand dollar camera plus a two thousand dollar lens plus a ronin gimbal in order to produce something similar…

[BlueHundredsWifey]

I appreciate this review! I always love a good honest review

[CRITITHINKS]

To the novice (Like me) this is perfect. It's so user friendly and makes filming totally uncomplicated. I value your review but you're talking to a high level of content creator.

[robertfel]

Even Osmo pocket 3 truely not perfect but its easy to use compare other cam and everyone can use very easy. Thank for honest review bro !
