Here’s a couple of things that I got wrong, I am sure there’s more!

The Creator’s combo doesn’t come with the pro mist filter.

The Pocket 2 add on isn’t a battery but it’s called a “do it all handle” to add connectivity with the wireless mic and WiFi to the Mimo app.

Sharpness and noise reduction were added via firmware in to the Mini 3 Pro. This was the first drone/ camera from DJI to get this feature! The Air 3 was the first new drone to have this on release, followed by the Mini 4 Pro.

My memory course with old age!!l

Came here to check out the Pocket 3, left with faith in humanity restored. What a kind person you are

[aeonsnarfus]

The soothing voice of Philip, the joy of cats, the aesthetic pleasure of great shots, and a beyond-solid review. Yes, top marks!

I loved hearing your thoughts on the DJI pocket 3, but I mainly clicked play because I just knew that there would be a trip to see the cats in the video. Thank you for having such a big heart mate ❤. You're one of the good guys!

[feelsgoodkoi]

You are such a wonderful human being Philip! Many times when im in a dark place u give me back hope to not only be a hungry creator but also not forgetting the good in people! I wish you all the best and thank you so much for helping all the cats! Greetings from Vienna mate!

Had this camera from launch, and I still learned something new from Philip's review, as excellent as always. A little heart-wrenching to see how the Skiathos cats have to fend for themselves, but how lovely to see Archie find a forever home. The effort and expense in getting Archie to Richmond is a testament to what a decent human being you are. Well done, sir.

[AlexiBexi]

No purchase decision without a Bloom Video. Thank you from the bottom of my Heart, sir!

Not only an inspiration in the video production area but also in humanity, genuine good bloke. All the best to you, Archie and all the Blooms.

Mate, I've been aware of you for quite some time, but it's only on the rare occasion that I've stumbled upon your video reviews. This is actually the first time I've watched one all the way through, and I must say, it's also the first time I've found myself getting a bit emotional by the end. Absolutely brilliant, I'm telling you – so much humanity, so much insight, and none of that tiresome "look at me" preening you get with so many modern creators. Just an honest chap sharing his story about a camera and his life. Splendid!

[markwiemels]

Easily the best DJI Cat video I have ever seen. Watched and loved every second of it.

[demonhogo]

The amount of love, time, money, and energy, you put into your cats is so damn heartwarming. Thanks for a great video

[Mathieu]

I love cats. I love cinematography. I love this channel.

[RhawiDantas]

Thanks for the review Philip. I must say I really enjoy how you make a story out of it and even more that you help the strays. You are a good dude.

[terjetoshill]

Once again a well delivered long review. Looks like a lot of work to make these, so love that you take the time to make them!

[ItsEzlan]

i really enjoied this review, i love my OP3, i got my Creators kit on sale from amazon in January was (£599) and I've had it with me everyday since having it,
I'm and engineer and do a lot of surveying so i grabbed a case with a 1/4 inch mount and a super clamp and its my Motionlapse camera for when I'm on top of high buildings doing readings and investigation work

all the best to Archie!

[JakeSloan]

what a great way to end easter weekend, listening to the soothing voice of @Philip Bloom...

[Kip-Media]

You've definitely upped my expectations of what's become possible with this camera with the beautiful shots you were able to get out of it Philip! Thank you

[wtfnahmean]

Awesome, thank you. Ordered a pocket 3 two days ago and your long review dropped, such perfect timing! :D

[foxkiller]

Your videos feel so organic... love to see them!

[ericaceous]

Splendid review - definitely appreciate these so much more than the short term/first impression type reviews at launch.

Also you ribbing your Mum was precious 😄
