Thank you. I bought the pocket 2 on the strength of your pocket 2 reviews and its been a great camera to get me started on my channel. I do feel like I've outgrown it now so was very interested to see what the Pocket 3 had to offer whilst looking at mirrorless cameras too.
The P3 is clearly better in many areas, dynamic range, low light etc. But the picture is still good enough on the P2 and the big factor in it’s favour is the size, just fits so easily into pockets, even with the protective case, and is almost unnoticeable when filming, very discreet.
Great comparison. i had pocket 2 for 2 years and sold it half year ago. Now i have only iphone 13 pro for my videos. Can say that Pocket 3 footage look much better than P2 and definitely better than iPhone 13 pro footage. I think on the phone digital stabilisation destroys all quality of the image.
I find going out to capture the world with a camera creates a reason to go to places I normally might not bother going to. You have a task to fulfil; to try to capture something interesting or something beautiful that's worth sharing with others. And that is the motivation.
Great video. Having both, I can say that the P3 is an overall better camera by far. However, I feel the gimbal algorithm is a bit better on the P2. The P2 also has slower gimbal and zoom movements at setting 1 which is more desirable to me. I have to agree that the 4k 120 on the P3 is pretty epic. The low light performance is better on the P3 although the P2 is pretty amazing.
Do you think it is better enough to justify the price bump? I can see P3 is better in most aspects, but I still cannot decide because of the price difference (£379 vs £619)
I've been thinking about this... I've owned my P2 for many years so I have a lot of experience with it and I know it like the back of my hand. The P3 is a superior camera in almost every way. I've been using the P3 for some time now and I honestly feel the gimbal algorithm is better on the P2. Example, If I pan around while walking the gimbal will follow behind as normal but I feel it does not center itself as well as the P2 at the end of the pan movement. I'm constantly hitting "re-center" or making a corrective movement to get the camera to face straight. Even the active tracking seems to "drift" occasionally and I'll have to "recenter" However, when that happens I'm usually vlogging in a moving vehicle so maybe the gyro data is getting skewed. I generally don't have an issue with the active tracking when I'm vlogging normally. At the end of the day the P3 is a better camera and I've been using that over the P2. -- I hope that helps
@@anthonyanzalone Nice breakdown! I'm also own both cameras and I agree with you on all points. And yes, the gimbal behavior on p2 is more reliable and predictable. On p3 sometimes it surprises me not in a good way.
WONDERFUL video, I thank you to share. Out of curiosity: I use to watch videos in 4K on large TVs around 70". Although DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is very good in everything, I noticed that it does not have excellent definition. Could you tell me if I use a video in 4K on TVs of large size, does it cause loss of video quality? Do you have experience in this? I would like to buy DJI Osmo Pocket 3 in a few days. I hope you can tell me something as soon as possible. Thank you
First I wanna say, what acreat review! So smooth, well added music and comfortable voice. I enjoyed it a lot. Second: in regards to the low light example, i understand the more sensitive sensor goes to Pocket 3 but which of the two actually looked most like you saw it with your own eyes in the moment of shooting that scene?
Thanks for the review. I came because I saw a complaint about the focal length leading to too much background blur. The tree at 3:58 is interesting and I dont know that I like how it blurred. Is the camera capable of infinite focus if there is no subject?
another good review, cheers! What do you reckon about the pocket osmo vs pocket 3 regarding tracking? In your review of osmo vs 2, osmo seemed pretty smooth. a shame pocket 3 doesnt have the control wheel
If you mean how does the tracking fair between the Pocket 1 and Pocket 3 I can't test them side by side as I no longer have the Pocket 1, but the Pocket 1 tracked really well compared to the Pocket 2. Maybe as well as the Pocket 3 or close to it. I don't understand what went so wrong with the Pocket 2's tracking and why they were never able to fix it.

what a video! Thanks a lot No BS Good point system Everything is superb! Subscribed!
I always anticipate your unbias review. Great review! I'd like to highlight that the Pocket 3 provides you with the flexibility to control both zooming and joystick speed.
Yes it's definitely sharper. But when not zooming in to an extreme degree or printing out a large print the difference is not really noticeable. The more important thing for me is that many of my Pocket 2 photos are out of focus as the tiny display does not reveal that at the time of the shot. That's why I gave the point to the Pocket 3. It's a better stills camera.
Nice review man, I just found about the DJI and I'm starting to create short form content, reels, shorts, tiktoks. What do you recommend the 2 or the 3?
Great video for comparison purposes. As I'm mainly a stills photographer what is the quality truly like for still images on the Pocket 3 ? a My main camera is the Olympus OM1 along with other older m 4/3rds cameras.
I bought p2 over the weekend as I saw some comparing videos and it didn’t seem much difference.. but after your video I feel like I regret not getting p3?
The Pocket 2 is still a really nice camera, but the Pocket 3 is quite a big upgrade. The large display alone makes using it day to day so much easier. And in evening light, it really pulls ahead.
So as a beginner who probably wont have a cinematic UA-cam vlog channel one of my main points for the comparison is the price. As far as i can tell the only thing that bothered me about the Pocket 2 is the Tracking. That looked awful in your review. But since i can get the Pocket 2 for 170 whereas the 3 for 600 my question is: is the pocket 2 a waste of money now that the 3 is out or should i give it a try? On reddit everyone seemed to agree there is no more point in the 2 but the price is actually a big Point for me.
The 2 is a great camera. The $430 difference that you mentioned is unlikely to be worth it if you are just doing every day vlogging. The difference in video quality in normal video mode is not very significant. The 2 is also more comfortable to carry because of its size, less fragile design and is cheaper to replace if damaged.
@@Roos-Reviews thank you so much for your Input! I can only repeat what everyone says - your reviews are amazing. Wish you so much more success with this channel .
i'll probably get one tomorrow. pity about the size though. loved the size of the pocket 2. otherwise looks like a cool camera. thanks for the video mate 🙂
@@daveredd9832 hi Dave, I think the Pocket 2 is a great camera and the biggest drawback for me is the small screen size. I normally connect my phone so I have a bigger screen and that works fine for me. Maybe someday I'll get the Pocket 3 but for now, I decided not to upgrade. Hope that helps!
Hey there:) Thank you for the video!! I watched your videos 1vs2 and 2vs3. I don't have either of these, but I'm thinking about getting one for my next trip to Thailand. But I'm unsure which one I should buy since I don't have any experience yet. Besides, I only want to make videos for private purposes and memories. And I'd rather record nature or friends while traveling rather than vlogging, so sound an tracking is also pretty irrelevant. So if I have to decide between the 1 and 2, is the 1 better? Is there a wide angle attachment for the 1? And is the stabilization of the 1 also good or rather bad? Because I think while traveling I'll film also while walking. So which of those is more recommended? I can't decide... The 1 is also cheaper compared to the 3 and I dont know if the features of the 1 are already enough for my use anyway.
I just bought a GoPro hero 12 and I love it. I was considering getting a gimbal, but the pocket 2 can be had now for about twice the price of the gimbal. Any thoughts on whether you think the pocket 2 is worth it in 2024? It’s under $300 now and readily available. I’m mostly going to use it alongside my hero 12, but for lower light conditions. I know the pocket three has great low light capability, but it looks like the pocket two is no slouch in low light. I would love your thoughts. Do you think it’s worth it in 2024 since it’s under $300 now?
For low light the P2 will get you much nicer footage than the GoPro. The tiny display may present a bit of a challenge when you're used to the large display on the GoPro. But yes, the P2 is still the second best mini gimbal camera available and with its variable focus lens it can get more cinematic looking shots than an action camera because it can get a little bit of background separation. I think the Hero and P2 go well together for a lightweight portable shooting kit.
Well I'm glad I made a good choice with the Go2 version with a company that sounds like they have a great outreach and engagement philosophy, allowing promising young content creators a chance to try their products. That's often a deal-breaker for me, I really dislike companies that seemed cheap and frankly dismissive at times and don't care for those up and coming yet end up often becoming their greatest assets.
Great comparison, definitely worth upgrading from P1 to P3. Can you confirm if the P3 does or doesn't do 4k 120p in Vertical mode? If it doesn't can you just flip the device like you would in P1 and P2 to get this? Thanks a lot!
The only way to get that is to hold it sideways. I just tried it and it works fine that way. The gimbal works normally and you get 4K120. You will just need to flip the footage to 9:16 in post.
Good comparison. However, having both the 1 and 2, I always use the 1. The 2 just didn't looks as good to me, plus I had issues using with the mic input (possibly defective). I suspect that the 1 might've scored slightly higher than the 2 due to the better tracking on the 1.
Don't forget the FOV was less on the 1 vs. the 2. This can give you the impression that the 1 is sharper when it probably is closer to the same. However, even with that I would not disagree with you. I don't know why, but in many of my shots with the 2 there is seemingly a haze over the image that I never had with the 1. No clue why that is, but it drives me crazy. Giving some thought to moving to the 3. The only things holding me back are price, wish they extended the FOV more, and the bulkier size is a little disappointing.
P2 is very good in photo compared to P3 especially like what you mentioned on the 8s vs 1s. Video comparison doesn't much different shown in your video, as we are not professional videographer. Professional videographer won't use this anyway. Will go for the P2 according to you review. Thanks.
Do you think the 2x zoom could be used in vertical mode, for social media stories/reels/TicTok - will the 1500px (40mm) be ok for a 1980p resolution height.
Zoom on the P3 is no better than cropping when editing, so it is best avoided. The greater number of pixels on the P2 allowed better than cropping results, so a point to the P3 there!
Damn your narration, editing, shots are absolutely amazing!
This is exactly what a review video should be like!! Great! Thank you :)
Man I would love to buy the pocket 3 but the price on the pocket 2 is so hard to beat

Which is best for nighttime and indoor videos, DJI Pocket 3 or Insta360 Ace Pro?

No, it's only 4k120 in landscape mode, and yes, you can turn the OP3 sideways to shoot vertical
