So happy for you Peter. Seeing you in your own home from where you came from a few years ago, quitting your job and trying to make ends meet.

Just a small tip - sound from DJI MIC 2 can be much better if you use Lavalier mic. Tested for more than 3 years with Pocket 2 and now with Pocket 3.

Man, that "Pocket3 mouth-stand" while you were painting was a show stopper for me, laughed so much I had to. I have this camera and it's transformed the way I film and also do other stuff like teaching, doing workshops..

As a music producer, I'll tell you some tips. If your room is not acoustically treated then the easiest solution is to move the mic as close as possible to the source (your mouth).
Secondly, there is no need to fill up the whole room with panels, every room has some points that if you treat them, the results will be noticeable. Finally, I would advise to to make some diy panels cause they are cheaper. What I have done is, I build a wood frame 1.2m x0.6m and 15cm width and I used two slices of knauf ultracoustic p 7+7cm. They work too well (cost per panel around 15€). The results are tremendous. Hope I helped you

When I use regular cameras, I also use the exposure lock option most of the time, but the automatic exposure function of osmo pocket 3 is very amazing. (It's like iPhone) It works in a place with large contrast, like your studio. Try using osmo pocket 3 with the color normal and the exposure automatically.

I brought a bunch of gear to CES, including Sony ZV-E1, ended up using the DJI exclusively 😅

[productfeedback]

I expected a bit better image quality, but I appreciate you explaining the mics, didn’t know about the Sony options

[philvfilms]

It’s a beast for car tracking shots and has become a go to for many creator in that space

[theoldvideoguy]

I’ve had my P3 now for almost a month. Learning it’s particular nuances. Your video is great. Love the way you mix it up. Well thought out well shot. Thank you.

[patrikstoor]

varför får du så jävla fin kvalité på din osmo 3! är det bra belysning? vad är trixet?!

[cwTheDrummist]

You're the guy whose opinion I've been waiting for! :) I'm glad you compared the ZV-1 to it. That's what I have, but I've had my eye on the Pocket 3.

[Rcschim]

Color looked of sometimes outside either the P3.
Love your house keeping outdoor shots. Have a similar grass cutter myself with 80v stiga and a blade. For mowing I use the Husqvarna Rider, so a lot of swedish great...
Gut a dji mic 2 with the Sony adapter a few days ago. Great!

[businessmanph]

Your garage is awesome. Love all the background pieces. Lots of details.

I'm not knowledge about which audio is better. Most average ppl may be happy with either source.

[jesperkystgaard]

You should consider a troltex sealing - does a great job for the sound.

[rybazorik]

I think it’s a great camera for travelling. Must have in your bag 🧳

[markjob]

*I also own the OP3 and I think it is an absolutely wonderful camera to use in everyday shooting setups, as it's so darn fast and accurate. Open and close the screen like you're doing, say, 50 times in a row, and I'm almost 100 % positive you will break the camera !*

[JorgeHernanArcilaA]

Good camera, I just got it, good video friend.

[JasonRidesmoto]

Just sold my Nikon Z30 and plan to pick one of these up. I want something quick and simple with good results with stabilization.

[benjamin.kelley]

You have to hang the panels about 10cm from the ceiling (usually with some short chain). The air pocket is what you're looking for. And a proper XLR shotgun mic is the best through and through. And for the DJI mic, put it on your chest. Don't put it on your hat or neck line - that's a dead spot and takes away the low boominess and strength of your chest voice.

[twolff]

Great video Peter, as always! Do you like the Pocket 3 better than the Insta360 Go3? We've been bouncing back and forth between these two since they're both such a small form factor (mainly weighing the pros/cons between the gimbal vs. the Free Frame option on the Go3). That being said, we've always loved DJI, so it's a tough choice!
