    I literally wanted for all the exact same things you brought up in this video. I’m still stuck between this and the insta 360 x3… just wish the pocket was waterproof since I like to hike but the quality on it looks too clean!

    • @mindful_wander
      @mindful_wander  9 місяців тому

      Right on. I did have the Insta360 X3 and sold it this year. It was pretty cool and it’s nice having a 360 camera at your disposal but one thing that I didn’t realize before getting it is that it does add a little bit to your workflow. For example, you have larger files, because of the 360 footage and then you have to go through the process of reframing all of the footage. The Insta 360 app makes it super convenient, relatively speaking, but it is still time consuming. I also thought that the POV from a 360 camera is really cool, IF you can extend the camera far away enough from your body, which sometimes was not possible or just called a lot of attention to yourself. If those aren’t issues for you, 360 footage can be fun and unique.

    • @luism.2050
      @luism.2050 9 місяців тому

      Like you, I hesitated between x3 and the pocket 3. But I went for the X3 for hikes in the UK where it rains a lot. I also love the crazy angles I can get when I mount it or on my motorcycle. I’ve tested a couple of motionlapses with it also…
      I agree that the extra step of reframing the shots afterwards could be a bit tedious… but it’s actually smthg I really enjoy: when you’re out and about you don’t need to worry as much about where your camera is pointed.
      They’re 2 different tools… I really enjoyed my pocket 1, hence why I almost pulled the trigger on the 3, but I’m having sooo much fun with the x3.
      Note: you need quite a few accessories to mount it in different places though: car, bike, helmet, backpack, pole, tripod… invest in a reliable quick release system.

    I am so on the fence about the pocket 3 because of one reason: it’s ability in variable weather.
    I shoot in state and national parks, and I run and gun on the spot to showcase those parks and certain difficult hiking/backpacking trails. Weather conditions, though planned and watched, can change substantially. Will the pocket 3 with the new DJI 2 mic kit work for me and my particular travel/needs and switch to the iPhone 15 pro when it might be too wet and soggy for the tiny gimbal, or just keep using the iPhone as my main video shooter along side the DJI or ride wireless mics???
    Thanks again for taking the time to do this. Very much appreciated.

    • @mindful_wander
      @mindful_wander  7 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for the comment Jarrad. This is a great question. Not sure if you settled on a solution yet but I think Personally, if high-quality walking shots in a compact and relatively inexpensive package is what you're looking for, you can go with the first option. This is what I do, too (though I have the iPhone 14 Pro). The reason (for me) is that the stabilized walking footage is wider and looks better on the DJI Pocket 3 compared to my iPhone. I'm not sure if the iPhone 15 allows active stabilization without cropping into the image. What's more, the 3-axis gimbal (on the DJI) is usually better and smoother-looking than digital stabilization (as seen on phones). However, you're right in that the Pocket 3 is a relatively delicate camera. Definitely not a reassuring, gritty travel partner like my old DSLRs were in the past, so you have to take extra care of it. But to be fair, phones (even though they are not pretty water resistant) are pretty delicate too, particularly the screens. And losing or dropping your phone means you lose so much more than just a camera. You basically can't live without a phone nowadays. So it's nice to have a dedicated photo/video tool. Oh, and the memory is expandable on a separate camera, which is such a seemingly small detail but feels so important when you're battling to clear up space on your phone's internal memory.

    Nice video but how do so many "professional" vloggers still not know there are like a dozen different mini monitors that clip onto your iPhone that allow you to see yourself while shooting with the rear camera? I dont even vlog and I know this....any con you think of for the iPhone, I guarantee you there is an app or accessory for it that you dont know about. It's the most used camera in the world for a reason.

  • @hamradioop5777
    @hamradioop5777 7 місяців тому

    The only downside compared with an action camera, is that stabilisation whilst you are walking, isn't as good in the Pocket 3. Folks need to learn the 'Ninja Walk' in order to provide the 4th access of stabilisation and the snag with that, is that you immediately stick-out like a sore thumb.

      Yes, you can attach it to a normal tripod when you attach the extended grip (it has a thread on the bottom of it, which the camera by itself does not). The creator combo also comes with a mini tripod. There’s no Bluetooth control but you can use your smartphone and the DJI Mimo app. Works really well.

      If you give the app the correct permissions to always access your location, then it can uses the timestamp from the camera and the app to add the location. Insta360 do something like that but I think that you need to open the app and keep it opened or something like this.

      You know, that's a really good point. Personally, I'd say it's great considering the package that it's coming with. If you REALLY wanted smooth, you'd be going with a manual/mechanical gimbal, which is going to be waaay bigger than this tiny camera. So I guess we have to pick our poison, as they say.

    For filming ,,your" travels there is nothing better on the market than the Dji Pocket series and now P3 👍❗
    My channel is practically based on P2 and now after some problems created by the retarded politicians in EU Parlament ( i am talking about overheating ,,protection" law making that camera unusable and a month later fixed by DJI ) P3 is finally here.
    My personal reasons to put this camera on the very first place are:
    1. The video quality is so ridiculously good, it's comparable to Sony A7 IV !!!
    I am not saying that is better, but the fact that P3 can compete against Sony A7 IV it's more than enough if you are making videos non professionally.
    2. My second reason, very important and it helps to avoid scandals on the streets.
    I am talking about the design of the P3.
    It doesn't look like camera and in many places around the world and Especially here in Europe the people on the streets don't like to be ,,filmed" with purpose or without any purpose or not intentionally....most of the people in EU are very much against that and in Belgium and France they liked to freak out when someone is making a video on the streets.
    I had some minor scandals no matter the fact, that I am avoiding the people with my camera as much as I can and as much as possible in general.
    The design of the Pocket series helps a lot most of the people to not recognize, that this thing in your hands is actually a camera.
    So this for me is a huge advantage.
    3. It's gimble with real 4K 60 fps HDR + 1 inch sensor !!!
    What do you want more
    For these specs Sony is giving you a camera for 3000€
    4. The price is not small, but if you think about what the P3 can actually do, I think that the price is almost fair 👍
    5. It's a FLASH-FAST tiny camera and thanks to that you can make short videos where it is not quite allowed.
    So these are my personal reasons to put the Pocket series by DJI on the first place in the category:
    non professional travel camera !

      Hey Jessie. Did you end up grabbing one? Personally, I haven't had any issues but I do try to take good care of it. I always put it back in the hard cover that comes with it AND (since I got the creator combo) that camera + hard cover both go in the carrying case. It's a tight fit but it zips up nicely. I wouldn't be surprised if some people had issues though. It's definitely not a rugged camera like, for example, an action camera or a hefty mirrorless workhorse. But, in any case, it's been with me all over the place now. Took it to Guatemala on a volcano hike, got some great shots in the snow in Romania, and now I take walks with it on the beach here in Bali. Hopefully nothing bad happens to it! lol
