Fam, you are missing the point that the “average consumer” looking to buy this camera most likely has a good camera, either an iPhone or a DSLR, but is looking for a more portable dedicated solution to daily vlogging/content creation without having to break the bank on super expensive accessories or lug around a huge camera plus accessories. You said that the camera plus the tripod is like lugging around a police baton so what do you think lugging a even larger camera plus accessories around is like? A fccn sledge hammer? 🔨 The professionals with the huge cameras are even looking for this camera because of the portability, video quality and features. This camera hits it right on the nail for all content creators.
@@Fredo.heavyy Fam, do I do reviews for affiliate link clicks like you? Show me one video of me doing that. You are the problem, sitting up there contradicting yourself and lying for money. You know exactly who this is for, MOST CREATORS. There's literally NO BETTER OPTION. Small, dedicated, amazing quality, feature packed! I had a little bit of a lighting situation today with my iphone because the area was shaded, pocket osmo 3 solves that easy. Now you telling me I should just buy all the attachments needed plus the light on top of the hundreds of dollars spent on my iPhone. Like please show me a better option when it comes to having the FULL PACKAGE in such a small form factor at this price point...
@@davidpoo66 Yeah and the phones are always running out of storage then you have other personal photos and videos you don' want to mix with content to take up more space..It's just more of a hassle when you think about it. The OSMO Pocket 3 solves all my problems
Gaslighting at its finest for clicks, smh. He knows what he's doing is wrong but to some content is content. $146 for a gimbal to slap a $899.99 at minimum iPhone on is a better solution, stop the madness. What if they don't have a iPhone? And before you ask which seem like your only rebuttal, yes I own one and considering getting a second.
Dude, not sure if you are trolling or you‘re just on the wrong track here. First: The Sony isn’t a „fixed cost“ camera either. All the things you need to buy for the pocket, you need for the Sony as well… plus a gimbal because Sony sucks at stabilization… plus a mic solution… plus a lens. Second: Why would you even buy a gimbal for talking head stuff? This is not the typical usecase for the pocket 3. Third: Why would you use a different mic than the one that comes with the creator combo?
I don't quite agree. This camera would be a great idea for daily vlogging, provided the weather is suitable. It is not aimed at current vlog creaters like Casey. It appears to be aimed at people that are starting out. It makes it accessible to new vloggers which means more people starting what they want to do. Personally, my use will be travel and walking videos but that is because I have a few channels already
I’m a beginner got one a few weeks ago. The internal battery is more than adequate for my purposes so it fits in my pocket easily. If I need more I can carry my brick and charge it when I’m not using it. The tripod can stay in my bag if I’m not using it, I would use the same tripod for every camera, and yes, it is best to buy a good quality tripod. The case seems fine, the device clips in and out easily, if I want more protection I can put it in a bag. I can’t understand why people don’t like the case. I like the way I can take it out of my pocket and start using it in a couple of seconds. The biggest limitation for me is the lack of a decent zoom. But I agree with your main point, it is specific use, if I had to get rid of the iPhone 15, the gopro, or the pocket there wouldn’t be a moment of hesitation, and the pocket will always be carried in addition to one of the others.
As with anything, depends on your use case. For an all-around/versatile & portable video camera, there’s simply no better competition atm. And that’s a GOOD thing, because now other companies are going to have innovate to compete with the op3. The closest competitor is the iPhone 15, but that’s nearly twice the cost, while also performing worse in lowlight and stabilization. Obviously as with any camera the osmo has its limitations, but what it’s capable of is well worth the hype imo. It’s a vlogging camera, cinematic camera, action camera, studio camera, and streaming camera all in one small affordable package. Plus if you’re running a one man or woman show, the face tracking is incredibly useful as well. Now sure, if you already have a great camera collection that fits all of those individual use cases, and you don’t mind lugging around a DSLR or mirrorless rig when you travel, then yeah I can see how the op3 can seem useless to that creator. But for many it’s really a one-of-a-kind video and audio solution. The creator combo with the dji mic 2 transmitter even allows you to have 32-bit float standalone audio recorder capability whenever you record with the op3. You’re never limited by your gear, only by your creativity and imagination. And the op3 is one of those rare devices that lets you be creative in any capacity. Sure, you’ll have to get extra accessories to get there, but that’s the same with literally any camera. The biggest downside of something like the zv-e10 too is that you’ll need an external gimbal to be able to use it in all the same scenarios as the op3. But even then the op3 still wins out because if you’re going to the lengths of using a handheld gimbal to achieve smoothness, the op3 can have 4 axis stabilization while gimbals like the insta 360 are only 3 axis, what the op3 has built in already. In terms of features nothing else right now matches it without workarounds. Find me another camera that has a 1 inch sensor, 3 axis stabilization, 4k 120fps slow motion, active face tracking, 32-bit float audio recording, and 10 bit log profile OR hlg, that’s in the same weight/size class & price range as the (creator package) op3. Thats why it’s the best all-in-one solution, that’s why it’s “for idiots” because it’s so good anyone can pick it up and start making great looking content. Of course it’s not without its drawbacks. The digital zoom is next to useless, it’s useless for photos, it has a fixed aperture, and in an action camera setting it’s not the most durable solution. But every camera has it’s trade offs. At the end of the day, to each their own. It all depends on what and how you’re trying to create.
The face tracking feature is a novelty at best to be under used and over shilled. People “blown” away by the DJI pocket Osmo 3 either don’t have it or have affiliate links to sell it. (Low light is not impressive unless you shoot manual) And any camera looks great on auto in the day time, my Sony RX100M3 from 2015? does a better job. There’s a lot of “specs” crammed into the Pocket Osmo 3, it’s a “concept” car of a camera. Which I highlight in the video by using multiple devices, it’s got a niche base of users but very limited by the person. So What we’re witness is another canon G7X mark 3 TREND. I’m not smarter than any of you, I just see future projections of past trends in the market. Sounds like you’re getting the most out of your camera and I respect that 👍🏽
@@Fredo.heavyy that’s not nice 😂, glad I made you type this up. The quality + ease of use + size + potential to be versatile in filmmaking makes this camera one of the kind, so yes people think it’s good 👍. Good job trying so hard to be different than the rest 👍
@@Fredo.heavyyyou are an absolute moron. Calling people idiots, calling them bozos…get that stick out of your ass and learn manners and then learn what product competition is.
As one of the “shills” I disagree with your viewpoint. I’ve used my pocket 3 on commercial jobs, BTS, vlogging, talking head, b cam. It’s crazy how versatile it is. I rather not tell people what they need or don’t need cause we all have different needs and different levels of capabilities and creativity.
I wouldn’t rope you in with the “shills” you field test products in great detail and you have an incredible cinematic prowess. We’re both two guys on the internet putting in work for content on a platform of over opinionated anklet bitters. You know how this games played which is why you’ve seen much success, I’m just here playing catch up 🎯
@@Fredo.heavyy I’m just pulling your chain brother. I do think this a realistic message to people though. That a lot of people blow money on things hoping they’ll create with it.. just for it to collect dust. They have to hold themselves accountable though. I hope I can inspire people to get out and do mroe and to stop being lazy, creating excuses, or being scared to try. Just hard to squeeze in more content that does that cause there’s only so much time in a month 🙃. Keep doing you brother! We need this type of balance. Create conversations. Everyone needs a different message 🖤⚡️🤘🏽
@@Fredo.heavyywith no gimbal, terrible in low light, more obvious when vlogging and bigger footprint (I hardly use the battery attachment) You’re making yourself look stupid in this video and even worse in this comments. Lol
I understand where you are coming from, But your thesis argument fails short. It's all up to you on how you set it up, and what you're going to use it for. Im a professional studio photographer, with a FUJIFILM GFX50s MKII. It's a medium-format camera that only is used in the studio. I needed and versatile camera that I could do BTS, talk to my people, small, fast, and easy to create content and share. Yes, I can use my iPhone 13 Pro but I learned to keep my content in a separate device. DJI OSMO POCKET 3 is a small compact camera at the end of the day. Furthermore, the camera is innovative and there is nothing like it on the market. If you're going to the gym to shoot content you need to figure out how to get your shots very quick with minimal gear sir. I appreciate your honesty
The sony zv ev1 is bad for video shooting at night and got a bad stabilisation. He is more expensive and huge. The pocket 3 is unbeatable and no smartphone is near him
I disagree. I previously used a phone gimbal but disliked having to use my phone as both a camera and for other tasks like notes, quick photos, navigation, and communication. Adding a gimbal to my phone felt like too much. I prefer having a dedicated device solely for shooting videos, and the Pocket 3 performs admirably. I owned three Osmo Pocket 1s (bought secondhand) due to poor battery life, but now with the Pocket 3 and an extra battery attachment (though not the most elegant solution), I can focus on filming without worrying. I set it up on a small tripod, use the built-in DJI mic, and if I need a closer look, I connect wirelessly to my phone to control it remotely. This setup, like the Pocket 1, is the best value for me. I wouldn't go back to using a phone gimbal or even a mirrorless camera; I prefer simplicity. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this product, but my experience has led me in a different direction.
You can literally use it as JUST the camera. I recently went on a cruise with mine and I carried it all around the boat with the camera, case and the extended battery (I like it better with it, too small to handle without it in my opinion). It fit fine in my pocket (my DSLR could obviously never). It shoots very smooth, video/audio quality is great. This most definitely is a very good, multi use camera ESPECIALLY for beginners! I get that this camera isn’t what YOU wanted, but it’s a case by case scenario.
I live in a city with very high crime rates. I usually do interviews and I have all my equipment (camera, lights, tripod microphones) that I carry in my backpack. It's heavy and seems to scream "steal all my $12K gear" OP3 fits in a small holster. It comes with an impressive quality microphone. I bought the other one and the results are perfect. I can make a video podcast / Vlogg for under $700 sitting in any cafe with decent lighting. The honesty of your review seems more like a desire to be contrary to attract attention without having solid arguments. The protector you show is $9 and I agree that it is better than the DJI one. Ulanzy has a tripod under $20 with similar features. A 256GB lexar SD is $20. You don't need an extra $200. But also in all cameras the additional costs are much higher. Cages, pro tripods, filters, lenses, microphones, monitors, etc.
@@gurugamer8632 the pocket 3 has really good picture quality even in low light and it is super easy to carry anywhere you go. Lugging around a mirrorless camera with lenses isn’t always convenient. Like when I go hiking or on a motorcycle ride.
I have a pocket 3 and couldn't believe you said the battery life is bad? I used it a lot on a recent trip to Japan filming a friends DJ sets and it lasted through both full sets with more than enough battery to spare without the bigger battery attachment even used. I had my FX30 with me on the trip as well and left it at home 99% of the time I went out because of how pocketable the DJI is. I'm editing and uploading footage from both cameras right now and obviously the Sony footage looks better but the quality of the Osmo Pocket 3 is insane for what it is, and after reviewing and editing the footage I'm very glad I picked it up.
Sounds like we're rocking a lot of the same equipment. Im not against the Pocket Osmo 3 don't get lost in the low IQ comments, I use it on the daily and so does my GF for vlogging. It does delivery a good image in the right environments. The fast charging on the Pocket osmo 3 is great too.
I agree with you mostly. I have the pocket 3, and it sits in the drawer mostly, lol. However, I still like it since when I do vlog, I don’t have to just rely on my phone which fills up fast (even the 256gb) and drains the battery. The image for talking head is fine, on par with the Zv1. Hardest thing for me is the gimbal and fixed focal length. A phone is easier to turn the camera around fast to catch shots, and you can zoom much further - better for videography. The price is right in the P3, but I’d still rather have a mirrorless Sony, even at twice the price.
We’ve come to the same conclusion, unless your a hard core vlogger or really want to travel super light and channel your self to only use a wide lens, having a any mirrorless camera gives you more versatility and creative control
I don't mean to hate but I don't think you presented this very well dude. For a start the framing - that light behind you should be the other side of the plant. The FX30 seems out of focus which just makes the DJI autofocus look so much better, like when you put your hand close to it and it immediately focussed on the near object. Also your colour grade is a little strange. DJI looks cold and Sony looks warm. Both fine but surely they should be the same for a proper test. I'm not going to mention the Samsung as it's a potato. Honestly, side by side, with your framing and grading, I prefer the look of the DJI. I know for certain that the Sony is better, being 3x the price and a proper camera, but the way you've presented it has had the opposite effect on me personally. Also sneaking in the Insta360 Flow kinda makes me feel this is an ad for them without it being disclosed - something they have asked creators of your size to do. I'd have stated flat out that this wasn't sponsored. As it is, this is not trustworthy at all.
Incredible. Wish I could offer a Monterey prize for the best comment on this video. You’re almost 100% right, a lot of the visual stuff can be chocked up to user error, didn’t have correct SD card for higher bit rate recording, new apt I’m still setting up, didn’t get the desired equipment in time (hence why I threw the S10E in vs Sony ZV1 mark II) etc etc You obviously know your stuff when it goes to staging, lighting and cameras. Curious what’s your go to gear for talking head videos? Everything else is though is tin hat conspiracy theories. I’ve always considered insta360 products toy for motorcycles guy, so not my niche by any long shot. I’ll remake this video properly once I get over this NYC flu/allergy season, so I guess stay tuned for that 👍🏽
I do days in the life at car meets which I’m mainly filming at night rn using my iPhone 13 Pro Max but looking into getting a camera do u think the dji can thrive at night or should I spend the extra money on a professional looking camera?
well, I don't have one, but I am considering, I think there is 3 ways of looking at this camera, A- people that want a B camera more portable than their DSLR and most likely are not going to rig this up too much. B- people who want something better than an action camera/phone, and most likely wont rig it up that much. C- people who want this as their main camera, and they will end up building a little rig. I agree with you that anyone on category C will benefit more from other alternatives. Myself I am on the A group and having something small and portable always on me, but still using my main camera for any occasion where portability is not an issue... its a very appealing idea.
I own a small mirrorless for years and I fell in love with the pocket 3 the day I bought it. The pocket 3 exists for a purpose and it fits mine perfectly.
You are adding largely unnecessary equipment for less likely scenarios then blame DJI and other users for your use case issues. Effectively why not claim that a Mini is daft because it isn't an aircraft carrier! Also this is not a review.
You’re still asleep. THEY market and sell the “largely unnecessary” equipment to the masses. You want to be upset at the “messenger” but I’m a “prophet”.
So i want to do travel content, walking videos, sitting talking videos and gym videos like sam sulek and maxwell krause so is this a good camera for my goals?
@@Fredo.heavyy thank you. One of the problems i found about the osmo pocket 3 that scares me is the screen display issue i seen a lot of videos where the screen display has problems and cannot be put in landscape when this happens u have to go to the official DJI shop to get it fixed :(
@ Yea it's a real issue that can happen to the Osmo Pocket 3. Depending on your level of camera knowledge you could get the Sony ZV1. I personally think its the better camera for all the activities you listed but also its small and durable.
From his first point he was wrong. I did not buy the creator package and I am yet to try to attach any additional battery pack. I use it for content creation and bts. I have no need to increase the size.
Phew, you had me for a starter there Fredo. I’ve just bought a Pocket 3. I was beginning to think I am an idiot. Nah not really. I bought it on the experience I’ve had with the Pocket 2. Some of the best video footage I’ve taken was with that. But you’re right. It’s a case of horses for courses. They’re not suitable for every situation. I would like your opinion on the GoPros. I think they are crap, from hard won experiences. Good honest review. I wonder sometimes what dog many of the reviewers have in the race.
I do social media content creation for brands, real estate agents, medspas and have been doing my content with my phone. I don’t think the Osmo Pocket would be for me but I need another option that isn’t $2k. Do you have any options?
I still think I’m gonna buy a pocket 3, but I honestly like this review. You can tell it was honest. It’s not hate. You give other options and examples. You also think about consumers price range and capabilities. Like it’s refreshing to hear pros and cons and what ad ons might be necessary
@@LIFEOFRODRIGO that makes no sense, testing it out the box for the average consumer is the whole point of the video. You want a “pro mode” video you can find it elsewhere.
@Fredo.heavyy and that's exactly why this video makes no sense. What's the point of this video if you aren't gonna make a full review or keep it "out of the box" ... going into other accessories like the gimbal or going from a $200 to a $2000 alternative or comparison isn't keeping things "out the box"
Not hating on you at all, but there is people out there making vlogs and full videos on the pocket 3. Your perspective may be different and a lot of us here follow different creators from different niches. Petter Mckinnon is actually making his recent videos with it for instance. From the niches I follow you can see Roman Fox, Tknorth and Faizal Westcott using both for talking heads and on the field vlogs. Just to give some real case usage besides the hype reviews. I'm planning on buying one. Mostly because I'm a photographer who wants to do video for social. So the small setup even with the add-ons is still cheaper than investing in full camera solutions for video. But as I said, just different perspectives.
I know, I am one of those people. I use the pocket 3 daily to produce content and it does an amazing job. I’m very confused what part of this video where I’m just testing the image quality of 3 devices and telling people not to over spend on new gear is offensive. To me their isn’t a “different” perspective just people who didn’t actually watch the video and chose to be offended over nothing. Pocket 3 is the right camera for a lot of users potentially.
so I am looking for a small camera to bring to just music festivals, which do not allow professional equipment and i wouldn't want to carry something like that anyways. Do people feel like this is the best option?
As long as you’re not moshing and nobody smacks it out of your hand you’ll be fine. I still think the insta360 go 3 is a better options for that purpose.
All the things you say in this video also apply to any other camera. Every camera needs a tripod, mic system, lens, etc... to be more professional, you forgot that with the Creator combo of the DJI osmo pocket 3 it comes with all these, so I don't really get why do you even recommend and external wireless mic when you can get the DJI mic 2 with the creator combo? All this to say that this camera is not really aimed at professionals and more at normal consumers that want a great quality + easy of use!
Thank you for the advice. I wanted to buy it because I wanted something small. I was recording with my phone but to get the videos out of the phone it was a pain. I want to do marketing and record videos with it. Right now I’m doing a kitchen remodel and I want to record a nice video with it. Also I have the dji gimbal 4, but I wanted something smaller and nicer to carry. I know about what you said about the battery adapter , but that is only if you are doing long videos.

It appears you are overwhelmed with how good this camera is and can be.... and when you couldn't just cumulate it, you called it a toy. funniest video I've seen this year.
Agree with some of these points but regardless ima make a feature film on it but I've always kinda made my features unconventionally so it's def case by case. Although I've dropped it multiple times (surprised it didn't break), It's definitely not for slinging around, you do kinda have to be careful. I still do use it bare bones, only a snow mist filter _battery. anyway nice review!
This video is complete nonsense, in my opinion. I bought the stand-alone camera, not the creators combo, the battery runtime is great, the in built mic (audio) is excellent, no need for a extra mic. I run a SanDisk memory card with 256gb at round about 30€, with no issues, because the memory card fits the requirements of the camera. The video quality beats the one from a i-phone easily... This list can go on.

One reason I really want this camera is simply because I want a camera I can bring with me while riding since throwing my whole a6300 rig in my backpack is way to heavy to bring everywhere. the pocket 3 is great just cause of how small it and the accessories are to bring around and get simple footage where ever u need
I felt the same way, I hated dragging around my Sony FX30 everywhere w/ a big lens. But after testing the DJI pocket 3 for awhile I missed having the FX30 quality and also the ability to use telephoto lens (compression) Pocket 3 is the right camera for a lot of people.
@ yeah the quality of a dedicated camera is simply unmatched but for what the pocket 3 can do I can easily get away with quickly filming my bike or my friends and posting to shorts or tiktok for some small growth and stick to the rig for those really high quality shoots.
Glossing over the fact I shot with multiple cameras and edited everything as a “showcase” for buyers. That’s not a rant, that’s hard work, that’s why this video is performing well. Also I’m a marketing genius.
As someone who has. Canon R6, Sony A7III, recently I’ve been using the Pocket 3 along with an Insta 360 X4 and my iPhone for filming off road trips and it’s amazing. You can do a lot with the Pocket 3. Just to film!
what are you talking about on battery life? it's fantastic, and I rarely need the extended battery - PLUS it charges insanely fast. I think you're just doing that whole "give a hot take to get people like me engaging in the comments" thing. Well done, in that case.
Someone gets it 😅 Yes the battery does charge very fast, I’m enjoying the pocket osmo 3 along side my other gear. BUT I’ll probably end up giving it to my GF
Hi @Fredo not sure why you are getting so much hate but I understand your point. I have a question - I recently got into "photography" and "videography" .. and I love to take lot of cinematic photos and videos when I travel. I am wondering if this is for me. Budget-wise i should be fine but I don't want to throw $$ on this if this is actually meant for vloggers or frequent content creators and isn't for someone like me who travels once 3 months. What's your take/advice?
So right now I own and use both the ZV1 and Pocket osmo 3. I personally find it difficult to get cinematic content of myself on the pocket osmo 3. Id recommend it for taking content of other people or places. The ZV1 is very versatile with its zoom lens and built in ND filter and can be found use for the low. I do everything with ZV1 (talking head, product review, gym content)
Completely slipped my mind! One my good friends is a leasing agent in nyc and she’d love this thing. Will make a note of that use case in future videos.
No the 1 and 2 aren't gonna give you same results last the Pocket Osmo 3. Pocket Osmo 3 has improved tracking and better image. This camera was made for rollers.

Someone needs to work on their listening and comprehension skill. The DJI camera excels in outdoor applications and is not at all a good talking head camera. That’s the exact point I made in the video with test against other offerings. So what video did you watch and come up with an incorrect conclusion?

Man you nailed this review. The only reason I haven’t bought this camera even though I want it is because I don’t vlog. I do talking head and shoot products for tech reviews. I couldn’t figure out why I would need a gimbal at all. Your video just helped me so much. God Bless
This channel is the future of UA-cam, and it’s honestly shocking how resistant some viewers are to a fresh, honest perspective. The sad reality is that many of you are so deeply hypnotized by flashy marketing and shallow trends that when someone dares to bring genuine innovation and truth into the conversation, you respond with defensiveness and fear. Let’s be real, shilling and corporate pandering have held back real progress in this space for far too long. Channels like this, that prioritize authenticity and critical thinking over hype, are desperately needed to break the cycle. Just because someone has a massive following doesn’t automatically make them an expert. In many cases, it simply means they’re the loudest sheep in a herd of blind followers. It’s time to wake up and support creators who are bold enough to challenge the status quo and bring real value to the table. Keep pushing forward, because this new wave of truth is exactly what the platform and its audience needs.
I kinda get the point that I need. This have some good insight to not rushing buying the product without looking at what you already have and what do you really need. Thank you for the insight!
Deserve every view you got on this video, the way you hit every point on the head is perfect. Most creators are sent this camera and then they put it on the shelf to collect dust and pick up a mirrorless camera. I get the functionality of it and all, but they are just here to collect a check (nothing wrong with that).
This guy is a real downer. I’ve had the pocket free and it’s fantastic. I’m currently travelling in Italy. I’ve got the extension battery on it. I can still put it in my pocket without the cover on it and pull it out. Still works great.
I've been looking at one of these for videoing whilst on my hoildays with my family. I spoke to a wedding videographer recently who has done entire weddings with the Osmo Pocket and the footage he got was very hard to distinguish from his other Sony cameras.
Thank you for this! I am older than anyone on UA-cam and the DJI pocket 3 did impress me a lot. But it also has its limitations. I have been a Canon user to Nikon User and now, I have the Sony a7c. I don’t want to use my phone (lack of storage and distractions) and I purchased the bulky gimbal for $146. You are so right. However, I returned the gimbal for $146 and kept the DJI Pocket 3. I love it! Thanks again because I am the oldest idiot with the camera. HAHAHAHA!! lol!! Stay tuned as I start sharing everything about my lifestyle! I subscribed!!
I think its an average vlogging camera but as a wide-angle lens on a gimble for revealing shots with 10bit dlogM,4k 100fps its a great camera that looks nearly as good as my A7siii for these type of shots. Put it on a long pole and you have a great quality dolly setup. Its a great tool, a lot better than the zv1 in my opinion
Hey bro. I’m a blogger beginner. I bought RODE wireless pro for better sound and filming on my old iPhone 12 Pro Max. I was thinking to buy Osmo pocket 3, but I saw your video and I’ve changed my mind. May be you can recommend to buy the solution for me - I still can return these RODE wireless pro.
Hi, considering whether to buy osmo pocket 3. Planning to record my family trip and not a content creator here. Rather casual usage. Would you advise to buy this or any alternative
I have used a pocket 2 for holiday footage since it came out, and it's great. I expect the pocket 3 to be even better! It's not waterproof, but other than that I've had few problems with the pocket 2. (Which could be a low cost alternative) Give the 3 a whirl....! 👍🏿😃
how did you manage to make the fx30 to look this bad. Even out of the box with no knowledge the video should looks many times better. All you're saying is worthless and the proof is your general video quality. You made the fx30 look almost as bad as the old samsung smh, how???????
It’s almost like I shot at the worst codec on all the cameras You’re a little overzealous my conclusion is the camera is great, which is unanimously accepted. Thank for driving more traffic to the video doe.
@@Fredo.heavyy 495 likes, 1.9k dislikes, unanimously accepted, yeah sure. Driving traffic by being an ass, that's the sprit! let's see how far your shitty attitude will take you in the long run.
All you low IQ loser with the same comment whether I have 50 or 50k subs. This video garnered tons of subs, tons of dollar and tons of brands reaching out to me. This why im successful and you’re not, I’m not worried about fake arbitrary “likes” You’re wrong and I’m laughing to the bank on this one.
I am a daily vlogger (not under this channel) and I use Gopro 12 and Iphone 13 max pro. (I also have a Gopro 11 and an Insta 360 x3, but I don't use them). There are many new cameras out this month like DJI Osmo Action 5, Gopro 13 or Iphone 16 pro max. The only upgrade I'm doing this year is probably just the Iphone 16 pro max as it finally has a 48mpx ultra wide angle camera and not just 12mpx like before. It also has better low light quality than before.
I used to be an iPhone only kinda guy but I stopped upgrading after the 13 pro. I’m still hunting for a daily vlog setup but it won’t be an action camera, the cinematographer in me just can’t stomach it. Gonna go full Casey and get a Canon R8 w/ 15-35mm f2.8
Fam, you are missing the point that the “average consumer” looking to buy this camera most likely has a good camera, either an iPhone or a DSLR, but is looking for a more portable dedicated solution to daily vlogging/content creation without having to break the bank on super expensive accessories or lug around a huge camera plus accessories. You said that the camera plus the tripod is like lugging around a police baton so what do you think lugging a even larger camera plus accessories around is like? A fccn sledge hammer? 🔨 The professionals with the huge cameras are even looking for this camera because of the portability, video quality and features. This camera hits it right on the nail for all content creators.
You are the problem.
Do you have a pocket osmo 3? Link a video you’ve made with it for us.
@@Fredo.heavyy Fam, do I do reviews for affiliate link clicks like you? Show me one video of me doing that. You are the problem, sitting up there contradicting yourself and lying for money. You know exactly who this is for, MOST CREATORS. There's literally NO BETTER OPTION. Small, dedicated, amazing quality, feature packed! I had a little bit of a lighting situation today with my iphone because the area was shaded, pocket osmo 3 solves that easy. Now you telling me I should just buy all the attachments needed plus the light on top of the hundreds of dollars spent on my iPhone. Like please show me a better option when it comes to having the FULL PACKAGE in such a small form factor at this price point...
@@davidpoo66 Yeah and the phones are always running out of storage then you have other personal photos and videos you don' want to mix with content to take up more space..It's just more of a hassle when you think about it. The OSMO Pocket 3 solves all my problems
Gaslighting at its finest for clicks, smh. He knows what he's doing is wrong but to some content is content. $146 for a gimbal to slap a $899.99 at minimum iPhone on is a better solution, stop the madness. What if they don't have a iPhone? And before you ask which seem like your only rebuttal, yes I own one and considering getting a second.
@@sirt9528 Thank you! I quickly caught onto the bs. Either he did it just for clicks or he really rushed this content and didn't think it over well.
I’m happy w my osmo pocket 3 🔥
I am worried about screen flip issue. It's randomly happening and also there is no dji service center in my country
Is really good! I love it! So cinematic! This guy do not know how to use it maybe😂
Dude, not sure if you are trolling or you‘re just on the wrong track here.
First: The Sony isn’t a „fixed cost“ camera either. All the things you need to buy for the pocket, you need for the Sony as well… plus a gimbal because Sony sucks at stabilization… plus a mic solution… plus a lens.
Second: Why would you even buy a gimbal for talking head stuff? This is not the typical usecase for the pocket 3.
Third: Why would you use a different mic than the one that comes with the creator combo?
You own the a pocket osmo 3 w/ the creator combo?
@@Fredo.heavyy I'm not exactly sure about the name but I own the version that comes with one DJI mic, yes.
I want to see a vlog from you, share a link
@@Fredo.heavyy Was your review only for vloggers? Maybe you should have said so. All you said is that it was for idiots. :)
Don’t be shy now!
show us one piece of content you’ve shot edited an posted using the pocket osmo 3, it can by anything.
I don't quite agree. This camera would be a great idea for daily vlogging, provided the weather is suitable. It is not aimed at current vlog creaters like Casey. It appears to be aimed at people that are starting out. It makes it accessible to new vloggers which means more people starting what they want to do. Personally, my use will be travel and walking videos but that is because I have a few channels already
😂😂😂😂right!
yeahh, appreciate that..
I’m a beginner got one a few weeks ago. The internal battery is more than adequate for my purposes so it fits in my pocket easily. If I need more I can carry my brick and charge it when I’m not using it.
The tripod can stay in my bag if I’m not using it, I would use the same tripod for every camera, and yes, it is best to buy a good quality tripod.
The case seems fine, the device clips in and out easily, if I want more protection I can put it in a bag. I can’t understand why people don’t like the case. I like the way I can take it out of my pocket and start using it in a couple of seconds.
The biggest limitation for me is the lack of a decent zoom.
But I agree with your main point, it is specific use, if I had to get rid of the iPhone 15, the gopro, or the pocket there wouldn’t be a moment of hesitation, and the pocket will always be carried in addition to one of the others.
As with anything, depends on your use case. For an all-around/versatile & portable video camera, there’s simply no better competition atm. And that’s a GOOD thing, because now other companies are going to have innovate to compete with the op3.
The closest competitor is the iPhone 15, but that’s nearly twice the cost, while also performing worse in lowlight and stabilization.
Obviously as with any camera the osmo has its limitations, but what it’s capable of is well worth the hype imo. It’s a vlogging camera, cinematic camera, action camera, studio camera, and streaming camera all in one small affordable package. Plus if you’re running a one man or woman show, the face tracking is incredibly useful as well.
Now sure, if you already have a great camera collection that fits all of those individual use cases, and you don’t mind lugging around a DSLR or mirrorless rig when you travel, then yeah I can see how the op3 can seem useless to that creator.
But for many it’s really a one-of-a-kind video and audio solution. The creator combo with the dji mic 2 transmitter even allows you to have 32-bit float standalone audio recorder capability whenever you record with the op3.
You’re never limited by your gear, only by your creativity and imagination. And the op3 is one of those rare devices that lets you be creative in any capacity. Sure, you’ll have to get extra accessories to get there, but that’s the same with literally any camera. The biggest downside of something like the zv-e10 too is that you’ll need an external gimbal to be able to use it in all the same scenarios as the op3. But even then the op3 still wins out because if you’re going to the lengths of using a handheld gimbal to achieve smoothness, the op3 can have 4 axis stabilization while gimbals like the insta 360 are only 3 axis, what the op3 has built in already.
In terms of features nothing else right now matches it without workarounds. Find me another camera that has a 1 inch sensor, 3 axis stabilization, 4k 120fps slow motion, active face tracking, 32-bit float audio recording, and 10 bit log profile OR hlg, that’s in the same weight/size class & price range as the (creator package) op3. Thats why it’s the best all-in-one solution, that’s why it’s “for idiots” because it’s so good anyone can pick it up and start making great looking content.
Of course it’s not without its drawbacks. The digital zoom is next to useless, it’s useless for photos, it has a fixed aperture, and in an action camera setting it’s not the most durable solution. But every camera has it’s trade offs.
At the end of the day, to each their own. It all depends on what and how you’re trying to create.
He won’t reply to this comment 😂
@@sanmani327 shut up bozo, I don’t work on your schedule.
The face tracking feature is a novelty at best to be under used and over shilled.
People “blown” away by the DJI pocket Osmo 3 either don’t have it or have affiliate links to sell it. (Low light is not impressive unless you shoot manual)
And any camera looks great on auto in the day time, my Sony RX100M3 from 2015? does a better job.
There’s a lot of “specs” crammed into the Pocket Osmo 3, it’s a “concept” car of a camera.
Which I highlight in the video by using multiple devices, it’s got a niche base of users but very limited by the person.
So
What we’re witness is another canon G7X mark 3 TREND.
I’m not smarter than any of you, I just see future projections of past trends in the market.
Sounds like you’re getting the most out of your camera and I respect that 👍🏽
@@Fredo.heavyy that’s not nice 😂, glad I made you type this up. The quality + ease of use + size + potential to be versatile in filmmaking makes this camera one of the kind, so yes people think it’s good 👍. Good job trying so hard to be different than the rest 👍
@@Fredo.heavyyyou are an absolute moron. Calling people idiots, calling them bozos…get that stick out of your ass and learn manners and then learn what product competition is.
As one of the “shills” I disagree with your viewpoint. I’ve used my pocket 3 on commercial jobs, BTS, vlogging, talking head, b cam. It’s crazy how versatile it is. I rather not tell people what they need or don’t need cause we all have different needs and different levels of capabilities and creativity.
I wouldn’t rope you in with the “shills” you field test products in great detail and you have an incredible cinematic prowess.

@@AlecksEats 👏👏👏
@@Fredo.heavyy ur recommendation was E10 Mark II right?
I understand where you are coming from, But your thesis argument fails short.
It's all up to you on how you set it up, and what you're going to use it for.
Im a professional studio photographer, with a FUJIFILM GFX50s MKII. It's a medium-format camera that only is used in the studio. I needed and versatile camera that I could do BTS, talk to my people, small, fast, and easy to create content and share. Yes, I can use my iPhone 13 Pro but I learned to keep my content in a separate device.
DJI OSMO POCKET 3 is a small compact camera at the end of the day.
Furthermore, the camera is innovative and there is nothing like it on the market.
If you're going to the gym to shoot content you need to figure out how to get your shots very quick with minimal gear sir.
I appreciate your honesty
Well said
The sony zv ev1 is bad for video shooting at night and got a bad stabilisation. He is more expensive and huge. The pocket 3 is unbeatable and no smartphone is near him
I disagree. I previously used a phone gimbal but disliked having to use my phone as both a camera and for other tasks like notes, quick photos, navigation, and communication. Adding a gimbal to my phone felt like too much. I prefer having a dedicated device solely for shooting videos, and the Pocket 3 performs admirably. I owned three Osmo Pocket 1s (bought secondhand) due to poor battery life, but now with the Pocket 3 and an extra battery attachment (though not the most elegant solution), I can focus on filming without worrying. I set it up on a small tripod, use the built-in DJI mic, and if I need a closer look, I connect wirelessly to my phone to control it remotely. This setup, like the Pocket 1, is the best value for me. I wouldn't go back to using a phone gimbal or even a mirrorless camera; I prefer simplicity. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this product, but my experience has led me in a different direction.
You can literally use it as JUST the camera. I recently went on a cruise with mine and I carried it all around the boat with the camera, case and the extended battery (I like it better with it, too small to handle without it in my opinion). It fit fine in my pocket (my DSLR could obviously never). It shoots very smooth, video/audio quality is great. This most definitely is a very good, multi use camera ESPECIALLY for beginners! I get that this camera isn’t what YOU wanted, but it’s a case by case scenario.
I live in a city with very high crime rates. I usually do interviews and I have all my equipment (camera, lights, tripod microphones) that I carry in my backpack. It's heavy and seems to scream "steal all my $12K gear" OP3 fits in a small holster. It comes with an impressive quality microphone. I bought the other one and the results are perfect. I can make a video podcast / Vlogg for under $700 sitting in any cafe with decent lighting. The honesty of your review seems more like a desire to be contrary to attract attention without having solid arguments. The protector you show is $9 and I agree that it is better than the DJI one. Ulanzy has a tripod under $20 with similar features. A 256GB lexar SD is $20. You don't need an extra $200. But also in all cameras the additional costs are much higher. Cages, pro tripods, filters, lenses, microphones, monitors, etc.
Great use case! What city?
I own a Sony A7R5 and still love my Pocket 3. ❤

@@gurugamer8632 the pocket 3 has really good picture quality even in low light and it is super easy to carry anywhere you go. Lugging around a mirrorless camera with lenses isn’t always convenient. Like when I go hiking or on a motorcycle ride.
I have a pocket 3 and couldn't believe you said the battery life is bad? I used it a lot on a recent trip to Japan filming a friends DJ sets and it lasted through both full sets with more than enough battery to spare without the bigger battery attachment even used. I had my FX30 with me on the trip as well and left it at home 99% of the time I went out because of how pocketable the DJI is. I'm editing and uploading footage from both cameras right now and obviously the Sony footage looks better but the quality of the Osmo Pocket 3 is insane for what it is, and after reviewing and editing the footage I'm very glad I picked it up.
Sounds like we're rocking a lot of the same equipment.
Im not against the Pocket Osmo 3 don't get lost in the low IQ comments, I use it on the daily and so does my GF for vlogging. It does delivery a good image in the right environments.
The fast charging on the Pocket osmo 3 is great too.
I agree with you mostly. I have the pocket 3, and it sits in the drawer mostly, lol. However, I still like it since when I do vlog, I don’t have to just rely on my phone which fills up fast (even the 256gb) and drains the battery. The image for talking head is fine, on par with the Zv1. Hardest thing for me is the gimbal and fixed focal length. A phone is easier to turn the camera around fast to catch shots, and you can zoom much further - better for videography. The price is right in the P3, but I’d still rather have a mirrorless Sony, even at twice the price.
We’ve come to the same conclusion, unless your a hard core vlogger or really want to travel super light and channel your self to only use a wide lens, having a any mirrorless camera gives you more versatility and creative control
I don't mean to hate but I don't think you presented this very well dude. For a start the framing - that light behind you should be the other side of the plant. The FX30 seems out of focus which just makes the DJI autofocus look so much better, like when you put your hand close to it and it immediately focussed on the near object. Also your colour grade is a little strange. DJI looks cold and Sony looks warm. Both fine but surely they should be the same for a proper test. I'm not going to mention the Samsung as it's a potato. Honestly, side by side, with your framing and grading, I prefer the look of the DJI. I know for certain that the Sony is better, being 3x the price and a proper camera, but the way you've presented it has had the opposite effect on me personally.
Also sneaking in the Insta360 Flow kinda makes me feel this is an ad for them without it being disclosed - something they have asked creators of your size to do. I'd have stated flat out that this wasn't sponsored. As it is, this is not trustworthy at all.
Incredible.
Wish I could offer a Monterey prize for the best comment on this video.
You’re almost 100% right, a lot of the visual stuff can be chocked up to user error, didn’t have correct SD card for higher bit rate recording, new apt I’m still setting up, didn’t get the desired equipment in time (hence why I threw the S10E in vs Sony ZV1 mark II) etc etc
You obviously know your stuff when it goes to staging, lighting and cameras. Curious what’s your go to gear for talking head videos?
Everything else is though is tin hat conspiracy theories.
I’ve always considered insta360 products toy for motorcycles guy, so not my niche by any long shot.
I’ll remake this video properly once I get over this NYC flu/allergy season, so I guess stay tuned for that 👍🏽
I do days in the life at car meets which I’m mainly filming at night rn using my iPhone 13 Pro Max but looking into getting a camera do u think the dji can thrive at night or should I spend the extra money on a professional looking camera?
Get the DJI
well, I don't have one, but I am considering, I think there is 3 ways of looking at this camera, A- people that want a B camera more portable than their DSLR and most likely are not going to rig this up too much. B- people who want something better than an action camera/phone, and most likely wont rig it up that much. C- people who want this as their main camera, and they will end up building a little rig. I agree with you that anyone on category C will benefit more from other alternatives. Myself I am on the A group and having something small and portable always on me, but still using my main camera for any occasion where portability is not an issue... its a very appealing idea.
I own a small mirrorless for years and I fell in love with the pocket 3 the day I bought it. The pocket 3 exists for a purpose and it fits mine perfectly.
You are adding largely unnecessary equipment for less likely scenarios then blame DJI and other users for your use case issues. Effectively why not claim that a Mini is daft because it isn't an aircraft carrier! Also this is not a review.
You’re still asleep.
THEY market and sell the “largely unnecessary” equipment to the masses. You want to be upset at the “messenger” but I’m a “prophet”.

Phew, you had me for a starter there Fredo. I’ve just bought a Pocket 3. I was beginning to think I am an idiot. Nah not really. I bought it on the experience I’ve had with the Pocket 2. Some of the best video footage I’ve taken was with that. But you’re right. It’s a case of horses for courses. They’re not suitable for every situation. I would like your opinion on the GoPros. I think they are crap, from hard won experiences. Good honest review. I wonder sometimes what dog many of the reviewers have in the race.
I do social media content creation for brands, real estate agents, medspas and have been doing my content with my phone. I don’t think the Osmo Pocket would be for me but I need another option that isn’t $2k. Do you have any options?

Not hating on you at all, but there is people out there making vlogs and full videos on the pocket 3.
Your perspective may be different and a lot of us here follow different creators from different niches.
Petter Mckinnon is actually making his recent videos with it for instance. From the niches I follow you can see Roman Fox, Tknorth and Faizal Westcott using both for talking heads and on the field vlogs.
Just to give some real case usage besides the hype reviews.
I'm planning on buying one. Mostly because I'm a photographer who wants to do video for social. So the small setup even with the add-ons is still cheaper than investing in full camera solutions for video.
But as I said, just different perspectives.
I know, I am one of those people.
I use the pocket 3 daily to produce content and it does an amazing job.
I’m very confused what part of this video where I’m just testing the image quality of 3 devices and telling people not to over spend on new gear is offensive.
To me their isn’t a “different” perspective just people who didn’t actually watch the video and chose to be offended over nothing.
Pocket 3 is the right camera for a lot of users potentially.
so I am looking for a small camera to bring to just music festivals, which do not allow professional equipment and i wouldn't want to carry something like that anyways. Do people feel like this is the best option?
As long as you’re not moshing and nobody smacks it out of your hand you’ll be fine.
I still think the insta360 go 3 is a better options for that purpose.
@@Fredo.heavyy Okay awesome!
what brand eyeglasses are those?
Nerdpro 3’s
I read the comments and I subbed. Keep the real coming.
All the things you say in this video also apply to any other camera. Every camera needs a tripod, mic system, lens, etc... to be more professional, you forgot that with the Creator combo of the DJI osmo pocket 3 it comes with all these, so I don't really get why do you even recommend and external wireless mic when you can get the DJI mic 2 with the creator combo? All this to say that this camera is not really aimed at professionals and more at normal consumers that want a great quality + easy of use!
Thank you for the advice. I wanted to buy it because I wanted something small. I was recording with my phone but to get the videos out of the phone it was a pain. I want to do marketing and record videos with it. Right now I’m doing a kitchen remodel and I want to record a nice video with it. Also I have the dji gimbal 4, but I wanted something smaller and nicer to carry. I know about what you said about the battery adapter , but that is only if you are doing long videos.
Hi great video very honest, and are you actually using a samsun s10 for this video 😮
Do you have a link for the tripod?

It appears you are overwhelmed with how good this camera is and can be.... and when you couldn't just cumulate it, you called it a toy. funniest video I've seen this year.
Share with us a piece of content you've made with the pocket osmo 3, don't be shy.
You want people to do the things in complicated way. Wtf
I don’t want people to do anything, just avoid unnecessary consumerism.
Also nobody care about the opinions of ignorant people.
The OSMO looks the best in this video in my opinion
I don’t disagree with you
What lense did you use with Samsung S10E in this video? Looks great!
Was just the front facing camera on Samsung version of cinematic mode, didn’t have it on max blurred background either
Agree with some of these points but regardless ima make a feature film on it but I've always kinda made my features unconventionally so it's def case by case. Although I've dropped it multiple times (surprised it didn't break), It's definitely not for slinging around, you do kinda have to be careful. I still do use it bare bones, only a snow mist filter _battery. anyway nice review!
How is everything saved? Memory card or via app/phone
Files are saved on a micro sd card
This video is complete nonsense, in my opinion. I bought the stand-alone camera, not the creators combo, the battery runtime is great, the in built mic (audio) is excellent, no need for a extra mic. I run a SanDisk memory card with 256gb at round about 30€, with no issues, because the memory card fits the requirements of the camera. The video quality beats the one from a i-phone easily... This list can go on.
The entire video went over your head huh?

@@shotbydmitry congrats you made it’s to a successful UA-cam social experiment that prove exactly what you thought.
That being said I am the best new content creator on UA-cam.
@@Fredo.heavyy ur content is turnt up fam fr
One reason I really want this camera is simply because I want a camera I can bring with me while riding since throwing my whole a6300 rig in my backpack is way to heavy to bring everywhere.
the pocket 3 is great just cause of how small it and the accessories are to bring around and get simple footage where ever u need
I felt the same way, I hated dragging around my Sony FX30 everywhere w/ a big lens.
But after testing the DJI pocket 3 for awhile I missed having the FX30 quality and also the ability to use telephoto lens (compression)
Pocket 3 is the right camera for a lot of people.
@ yeah the quality of a dedicated camera is simply unmatched but for what the pocket 3 can do I can easily get away with quickly filming my bike or my friends and posting to shorts or tiktok for some small growth and stick to the rig for those really high quality shoots.
Its become a fashion statement now to rant and be a critic for more views 😂
Glossing over the fact I shot with multiple cameras and edited everything as a “showcase” for buyers.
That’s not a rant, that’s hard work, that’s why this video is performing well.
Also I’m a marketing genius.
As someone who has. Canon R6, Sony A7III, recently I’ve been using the Pocket 3 along with an Insta 360 X4 and my iPhone for filming off road trips and it’s amazing. You can do a lot with the Pocket 3. Just to film!
what are you talking about on battery life? it's fantastic, and I rarely need the extended battery - PLUS it charges insanely fast. I think you're just doing that whole "give a hot take to get people like me engaging in the comments" thing. Well done, in that case.
Someone gets it 😅
Yes the battery does charge very fast, I’m enjoying the pocket osmo 3 along side my other gear.
BUT I’ll probably end up giving it to my GF
What device has the best tracking of a fast moving object on some distance?
Lets say tracking an rc airplane or a running animal.
probably a General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper
@@Fredo.heavyy that would probably do it. 😄
This is just a content to get intention. 😂
You got your words a bit mixed up there bud
Hi @Fredo not sure why you are getting so much hate but I understand your point. I have a question - I recently got into "photography" and "videography" .. and I love to take lot of cinematic photos and videos when I travel. I am wondering if this is for me. Budget-wise i should be fine but I don't want to throw $$ on this if this is actually meant for vloggers or frequent content creators and isn't for someone like me who travels once 3 months. What's your take/advice?
So right now I own and use both the ZV1 and Pocket osmo 3.
I personally find it difficult to get cinematic content of myself on the pocket osmo 3. Id recommend it for taking content of other people or places.
The ZV1 is very versatile with its zoom lens and built in ND filter and can be found use for the low. I do everything with ZV1 (talking head, product review, gym content)
real estate tour videos is one of the best use case scenarios.
Completely slipped my mind!
One my good friends is a leasing agent in nyc and she’d love this thing.
Will make a note of that use case in future videos.
I agree if the price was under $100
@@loomasshido4509 specify at what under $100? Agree on what?
@@loomasshido4509 That's silly. I charge more for one real estate listing video than the price of the Pocket 3 Creator Combo.
what about mounting on a back of a car and taking rollers of the homies? you think this is good for that? or should i get the 1 or 2??
No the 1 and 2 aren't gonna give you same results last the Pocket Osmo 3.
Pocket Osmo 3 has improved tracking and better image. This camera was made for rollers.
UA-cam creator content has become more of talking head videos / reaction / reviews and less run and gun daily vids.
what about real estate videography?
Get it for real estate video 👍🏽

This video is mostly a YAP session. Anyone still thinking about buying one here is a pretty good video that showcases the camera in action and goes in depth, its by Alex Armitage "The DJI Pocket 3 is a Special Camera | 6 Month Review".
That video is 21mins long and you’re saying mines is a YAP session?
You’re a bozo.
I watched his video and he is the exact niche user this camera is designed for, over course he gave it a rave review (rightfully so).
My opinions are more than valid on this device and my testing/comparison were impartial.
@@Fredo.heavyy hopefully you learned something from watching him to improve your content. His video was worth the time unlike yours , You will never make it if this is how you react to criticism.
Again with this entitled loser NPC comment.
You are not a “critic”, nobody cares about your opinion.
Don’t lump yourself into a category of achievers like me or the other guy, we actually produced something of substance.
Take a lap bozo.
@@Fredo.heavyy your ego will be the downfall of this "content creator" thing your trying to do. You are no better just because you make videos , every comment criticizing your video should be a sign that your doing something wrong.

And I am better than you by every metric, even before I posted on UA-cam.
The “Ego” comment is what weak people try to weaponize against the talented and ambitious.
My success is inevitable.
But you need to do some self reflection, worry about yourself
I really am trying to see the hype with the video quality of the pocket 3 but I just don’t see it
I was in the same boat, it’s “impressive” in a seasoned videographer but the average consumer will struggle and be unsatisfied.
Pure copeium from the masses, I’m just slightly ahead of the curve
lame review
You’re from Michigan.
Shut up bozo.
@@Fredo.heavyywhat’s wrong with Michigan? Sounds like you mad that this small cheaper camera can perform and in some cases out perform your expensive equipment you may have just bought recently 😅
Did your $200 or $2,000 cameras actually come with all the accessories you say you'll have to buy on top of the Pocket 3?
Thats a silly comment but now that you mention it, I got a Sony ZV1 that has built in ND for $380 total and an SD card forgotten inside.
So yes 😅
@@Fredo.heavyy I think it's fair to say, I won't be subscribing to this channel.
Thanks for all the comments. I see I don’t need to proceed beyond the 1 minute mark of the video.
The low IQ comments are the ones you aligned with and you wanted to add your name to the pile?
For an old man you lack wisdom.
Sorry your dramatic outlook is on the wrong track and I suspect it's just for views, with a different approach this would be an informative video...your dead wrong on your outlook of this camera...its NOT just a talking head camera...im a professional for 40 years have used every iteration since then...while the osmo is Not matching the quality and pro. ability of my pro cam stabilizer systems....it is a wonderful content creator solution and a great extra cam and run n gun on my pro jobs...
Someone needs to work on their listening and comprehension skill.
The DJI camera excels in outdoor applications and is not at all a good talking head camera.
That’s the exact point I made in the video with test against other offerings. So what video did you watch and come up with an incorrect conclusion?
@Fredo.heavyy I share the feelings of 90% of your comments, so I guess 800 or so viewers need to work of compensation skills my friend 😀...I didn't finish the video, I'm guilty of that but I heard what you are cooking...and don't agree with the overall view...but you be you, it's all good brother...at least you got a view and some engagement 😀 peace
No you don’t, I watched some of your content, you seem like a smart and articulate guy.
You don’t want to align with the loudest idiots in the room.

Man you nailed this review. The only reason I haven’t bought this camera even though I want it is because I don’t vlog. I do talking head and shoot products for tech reviews. I couldn’t figure out why I would need a gimbal at all. Your video just helped me so much. God Bless
I truly love my OSMO Pocket 3 and its capabilities. It seems that there may be some deliberate efforts to discredit DJI, possibly by a rival company.
Sounds like somebody didn’t watch the video.
Give it another view and put your comprehension cap on.
Will you share you samsung camera /video settings? I have a dark complextion that you but I can never get it to look that good as in your video
This channel is the future of UA-cam, and it’s honestly shocking how resistant some viewers are to a fresh, honest perspective. The sad reality is that many of you are so deeply hypnotized by flashy marketing and shallow trends that when someone dares to bring genuine innovation and truth into the conversation, you respond with defensiveness and fear.
Let’s be real, shilling and corporate pandering have held back real progress in this space for far too long. Channels like this, that prioritize authenticity and critical thinking over hype, are desperately needed to break the cycle. Just because someone has a massive following doesn’t automatically make them an expert. In many cases, it simply means they’re the loudest sheep in a herd of blind followers.
It’s time to wake up and support creators who are bold enough to challenge the status quo and bring real value to the table. Keep pushing forward, because this new wave of truth is exactly what the platform and its audience needs.
Osmo or insta360?
I kinda get the point that I need. This have some good insight to not rushing buying the product without looking at what you already have and what do you really need. Thank you for the insight!
Deserve every view you got on this video, the way you hit every point on the head is perfect. Most creators are sent this camera and then they put it on the shelf to collect dust and pick up a mirrorless camera. I get the functionality of it and all, but they are just here to collect a check (nothing wrong with that).
This was really helpful 👏
Helpful insights, also it's fragile, i would recommend Action 4 instead.
This guy is a real downer. I’ve had the pocket free and it’s fantastic. I’m currently travelling in Italy. I’ve got the extension battery on it. I can still put it in my pocket without the cover on it and pull it out. Still works great.
Enjoy your travels! You bought the right tool for the job!
I've been looking at one of these for videoing whilst on my hoildays with my family. I spoke to a wedding videographer recently who has done entire weddings with the Osmo Pocket and the footage he got was very hard to distinguish from his other Sony cameras.
Thank you for this! I am older than anyone on UA-cam and the DJI pocket 3 did impress me a lot. But it also has its limitations. I have been a Canon user to Nikon User and now, I have the Sony a7c. I don’t want to use my phone (lack of storage and distractions) and I purchased the bulky gimbal for $146. You are so right. However, I returned the gimbal for $146 and kept the DJI Pocket 3. I love it! Thanks again because I am the oldest idiot with the camera. HAHAHAHA!! lol!! Stay tuned as I start sharing everything about my lifestyle! I subscribed!!
Osmo action 4 vs poket 3 vs insta x4 which one to buy
If you’re doing outdoors action stuff with water or dust avoid pocket osmo 3
This is a true review. Thanks

I think its an average vlogging camera but as a wide-angle lens on a gimble for revealing shots with 10bit dlogM,4k 100fps its a great camera that looks nearly as good as my A7siii for these type of shots. Put it on a long pole and you have a great quality dolly setup. Its a great tool, a lot better than the zv1 in my opinion
Hey bro. I’m a blogger beginner. I bought RODE wireless pro for better sound and filming on my old iPhone 12 Pro Max. I was thinking to buy Osmo pocket 3, but I saw your video and I’ve changed my mind. May be you can recommend to buy the solution for me - I still can return these RODE wireless pro.
Are you recording outside or mostly in side?
Hi, considering whether to buy osmo pocket 3. Planning to record my family trip and not a content creator here. Rather casual usage. Would you advise to buy this or any alternative
Are you traveling somewhere with “bad” weather or dusty wet environment?
No, more city traveling and not for outdoor activity either. Appreciate for alternative as well. Currently I’m using IPhone 13 Pro
I have used a pocket 2 for holiday footage since it came out, and it's great. I expect the pocket 3 to be even better! It's not waterproof, but other than that I've had few problems with the pocket 2. (Which could be a low cost alternative)
Give the 3 a whirl....! 👍🏿😃

This video is actually a really smart marketing strategy for DJI. Kudos
I am a daily vlogger (not under this channel) and I use Gopro 12 and Iphone 13 max pro. (I also have a Gopro 11 and an Insta 360 x3, but I don't use them).
There are many new cameras out this month like DJI Osmo Action 5, Gopro 13 or Iphone 16 pro max.
The only upgrade I'm doing this year is probably just the Iphone 16 pro max as it finally has a 48mpx ultra wide angle camera and not just 12mpx like before. It also has better low light quality than before.
I used to be an iPhone only kinda guy but I stopped upgrading after the 13 pro.
I’m still hunting for a daily vlog setup but it won’t be an action camera, the cinematographer in me just can’t stomach it.
Gonna go full Casey and get a Canon R8 w/ 15-35mm f2.8
That Samsung S10e looks awesome. This is a budget phone not even a flagship
Yea I agree with you S10e surprised me a lot, lowkey want to pick up a Note 20 ultra to test out
