*I Think this will always be the #1 thing for people whom want to do YouTube & are afraid that people will judge them by looking at them or say something while they are vlogging, but with videos like this they can over come that fear as well as going to places like conventions where people do this a lot so that they can feel comfortable doing it*

Very helpful basic tips for the self-conscious beginners. Thank you!

I can really appreciate Tip No. 1. I was using my ZV-E1 and Pocket 3 in one of the Montmartre neighborhoods this past Fall and got my backpack picked while not filming. They got away with my Hero 11, my primary lens for the ZV-E1, and a bag of batteries. I'm much more careful these days.

I was just talking to my friend about this today! Thank you!

Loved the tip of having the camera a bit far away from you with the wireless mic. I forget that I have that ability

These are good reminders, thanks for posting.

this does get to me in the uk. I think in the holiday areas they are more used to people using Cameras of all sorts but can attract attention when filming in a crowded inland urban area but i am aware that a lot of the apprehension is in my mind as such, not wanting to appear daft LOL. I like this series of videos

Thanks for sharing.  

I am an introvert getting into content creation and I struggle big time. I also remind myself that most people around will forget [in a few minutes] that they saw me.  

I recently got the Ray-Ban Meta glasses and this helps tremendously, because I'm not noticed at all.

love. your vids. your gonna make me jump soon 😘🥳✨❤️❤️❤️hearts 4 hubby n lil guy too👀

Great tips! I’m going to be getting a pocket three soon… May I ask how you got it to just stay static and not follow you and track you? I like how it stayed centered. Often times when I see filming with the pocket three I can see the gimbal tracking the person which is cool, but I like your choice of static shot for most of these shots.

PS: one of the things I love about filming and photographing with smaller cameras is that they are discreet. I’ve been doing a lot of vlogging with my GoPro 12 and it’s perfect for having no one know that you’re filming. I’m sure the pocket three is amazing for this.

Hey thanks for the video, I plan to solo travel and vlog, not for content creation but for memories. I feel the osmo pocket 3 would be nice since I assume it doesn't get much attention when walking around or eating etc but also I am thinking about the idea of iPhone probably being a higher risk of being stolen. I am also thinking iPhone 16 Pro would probably have better quality video and may even beat the Osmo pocket 3.

Also, have you used the pocket 3 for photos ? how is it compared to iPhone for social media use? I'm unsure to get iPhone or Pixel 9 Pro or Pocket 3 for travel and taking pictures/videos

Please let me know your thoughts :)

where can i get the mini extension tripod from!!

[MiaHessMusic]

Great video. I am really enjoyed this topic. I also watched your "confidence" video.
Could you use a 360 camea instead of say the DJI or GoPro? I have one of those.
I'd love to see some videos on how to film yourself with a cell phone in situations like this. .

Question ❤I wanted the Dji mic 2 but it cut out so much ambience that and I prefer the mke200 go pro audio over the Dji mic 2 it sounds muffled to me idk why 😅 is there a way to make it sound not so isolated?
