This video is more useful for someone has the iPhone 15pro max already, however, buying another osmo device would cost more, and you have to carry two devices when vlogging outside, so two point for the iPhone

Great video, but in backlit situations the iphone has that terrible green dot lensflare moving all over on the screen. Strange that it was not mentioned as a weak point.

I’ve been using iPhone with gimbal and just bought pocket 3 few days ago.

Having dedicated video camera with gimbal is game changer for me!

[FfilmiauFflur]

Good side-by-side comparisons! I own both units and it's simply choosing which one is the best for any given situation.

[draean]

This is by far the most complete complete for these devices. Thanks!

[americansafarico]

As always, a well-executed and used comparison.

One thing that stood out to me was how much better the Pocket 3 seems to be at controlling lens flare. It’s quite distracting in some of your low light iPhone shots. The DJI suffers little to none of it.

[alexmasterchief]

Feel like the colors and video from the iPhone look better, but it does look a bit too over processed sometimes. I’d still probably take an iPhone with a gimbal as it looks like it’ll do just as good or better in most of these tests 💯💯

There is a potential issue with choosing the iphone. 

Me and my girlfriend got 15 pro maxes at the release, and she is using her phone for recordings for youtube and personal use, now even though i got my iphone delivered a month before her, my battery health is at 100% as i use my iphone normally, and her iphone's battery health is at 90%. So we decided that it's better to just get a dedicated camera for her youtube as we would otherwise need to buy her a new iphone pretty much every year.

If you want warmer whitebalance you simply change it so it get warmer if thats the look you want.

[GlennMartinez]

Comparison I’ve ever seen I own both and appreciate the effort that you took on this. I think I’ll go out and shoot my own.

[Jerry-hvqj]

Looking at your video, may I conclude that 15 pro max with DJI mobile 6 would be the best option then? Thanks for the very systematic review :)

[GlennMartinez]

Best comparison would be to include the microphone with the iPhone native. It does not allow an auxiliary microphone where the creative kit comes with a microphone interesting is that I can use my DGA microphone with my iPhone and the black magic app and I get the best of both worlds, I plan to use both

I’ve got a ZVE1 for my channel about £2000 of lenses, it’s great.
But I also just bought a Pocket 3. It’s incredibly good at what it does, is seamless and has low friction in use and encourages use and content capture. Very impressed.
I couldn’t use a phone unless pushed with nothing else.
However, Pocket 3 is extremely jerky on pans in 25/30 so I only use it 50/60 and the image is great then.

Waiting for OSMO GIMBAL MAX upcoming with Hasselblad sensor as same as in Mavic 3 pro drone

[TarekOnTheWay]

I have a laptop macbook, , as a new youtuber I don't know if I should have Dji pocket 3 or iphone fifteen pro max

[Technikzentrale]

Mhhh :-) Buy a Cheaper, good Phone as the Samsung S23, Pixel 7 or maybe 7a in a good Trade and the Pocket 3 and safe easy 300-400 Euro. Then you have good Phone with "nice camera too" and a great Video Product :-D

[sat]

Good comparison....it cleared my few doubts

[dadfixdit]

This was a very good and fair comparison. So good to see some non-sponsored content on the Pocket 3. I have been debating purchasing one for my channel but honestly I don’t know that it will do that much more for me than an iPhone with a good external mic. Thanks for the honest video!

[lizimeicooking]

You are not test about temperature . I think Pocket 3 will win when shot under daylight, Iphone always close camera when shot under daylight .

[shardaehoward]

Awesome video! I have an iPhone, curious if I want to just continue recording with this and get the Mobile 6 ($150) or buy Osmo .. ($500) 😩
