Man . . . you trying to get me to spend money? Cuz, I think you are . . . you AND Markus (Turn Your DJI Pocket 3 into a Cinematic MONSTER ua-cam.com/video/1K7PkXS52PQ/v-deo.html). Are you guys saying that I NEED to buy one of these and use Markus's "cinematic" settings so I can make the great, American craptacular "film" with completely unsympathetic characters wandering around in a total non-story worthy of Disney so people will love me and I can finally get the IG worship that I totally deserve because . . . REASONS? Because I think you are. Maybe a trilogy, because I always envisioned it as a trilogy - even though I never said anything about it. And then maybe even a trilogy of trilogies. Renamed and reordered because . . . REASONS. Yes . . . a cinematic god in the making. On the other hand, is it a pretty all-around, do-most-things-well-enough kind of tool?
Is there a way to make it act like a point and shoot camera? The camera should always be looking forward in one direction without the gimbal engaging in slow panning when physically panning the camera towards something.
I watched so many Dji Pocket 3 reviews. Yours are the best. No recital of the official feature list or talking points. You give us actual image comparisons between the Pocket 3 and other cameras for us to see the differences, all the while making the video funny and interesting. Thank you sir!

@@kerosene4751 Buddy, I’m telling you the truth lol. I did buy it. It’s pretty good. I used it for filming what became my most recent upload. Doesn’t look too bad for a noob running automatic settings.
It's close to the price of the Nikon Z30 here in Finland (starting from 550e vs 700e of the Nikon) and does only a small portion of what the Nikon does so it's really not that surprising, although I guess commendable for it's size!

@@Sc0pee Half of the flaws you mentioned doesn't affect 99% of population. I have recorded 4K 2hr video couple of times and it did it perfectly, it is hot, but working. Weather sealing - buy a action cam. How u gonna weather seal the gimbal? Exposure while filiming is literally for less than 1% of population who owns pocket 3. What is your point? I can say it lacks 3000fps slow mo in HD, and call it a flaw... This camera for this price is briliant, with all the "flaws".
I am really enjoying the Pocket 3 for your channel, CC. It's a very good fit for your vlogging style. There's still room to have fun with other cameras but the Pocket 3 does the bread and butter footage so well.
Pretty impressed with the Pocket 3. I didn't think it would hold its ground so well against the big boys. It would be even closer If DJI didn't use such an aggresive oversharpening but pretty impressive overall.
My wife works at a university, managing some of the conference rooms. They had been using cameras and ipads to film lectures and discussions, but it was messy and confusing. Then this came out just when they were about to order new Apple stuff, and they went all in on DJI. Not all the lecturers or assistants are computer or camera savvy, but they found this very easy to use.
Agree for vlogging the OA4 (or GP) much easier if any significant movement or of course anything that might be considered action (biking, packrafting etc), but casual recording for just about anything else the OP3 tops it. Great actually. Not the best for studio work but it can still work well enough. So your cameras might be needed for studio work, certainly any zoom stuff and if you decide you want to be a photographer some days. It looks like a great tool for a lot of uses. Btw R8 does still look nice!
I've been going down a rabbit hole on this DJI Pocket 3 after a coworker got one. It really is well suited for vlogging purposes and capturing solid quality video footage. For the majority of users its probably a good fit for their needs.
I think the background separation of the Pocket 3 is perfect for vlogging, where the viewer actually want to see the environment, just not as sharp as the foreground.
The focus breathing on the Pocket 3 is pretty bad. For casual vlogging, nothing comes close to the pocket 3. However action cameras are more rugged and waterproof. Also the wider FoV is better for POV shots.
Curious to know whether you used the low light mode for the low light shooting on the Pocket 3 for those low light shots you showed? IME the low light mode on the Pocket 3 is complete arse. On the other hand, if you put it into normal mode, turn the noise reduction off and the sharpening to zero, and run in max 1600 ISO, I've found the low light performance of the Pocket 3 to be pretty incredible!
What is the scenario when 1600 is enough? In bright indoors? Not for my cases. Up to iso 3200 you don't need to use the low light mode. If you go into even darker places, then the low light mode is very useful.
Yes I agree with you w from what I’ve seen on reviews. I think it looks better when not in low light mode. I even asked on reviewer which he thought was better and he got all mad for some reason 😂.
Some how, you have out lived all the other camera channels, same vibe, new year, new camera... and we are all the better for it. Defo an impressive camera.
I couldn't agree more. Prefer the full frame image, but the stabilisation is so good and it is so small and easy to use that it is now our main vlogging camera!
Hey Kasey, I lost my job so I had to sell my Sony A7 iv and pro lenses but needed a camera to continue filming for this channel. I kinda guessed it would do ok filming RC cars but was worried about it coping with my studio product shots. I mean, I can tell the difference, but this is all I need for now until I can afford a full frame "pro" set up again. Check out my last few reviews and see this in action on a motion control slider 😊
Loving your channel and content. In the electronics review sphere, easily the most excellent combo of professionalism, detail, and total humanity / authentic personality (best I can tell, not knowing you). I watched your video about the best shotgun mic and hilariously when you pulled out the relatively obscure (in video) oktava mk-012-01, I had a lightbulb moment, turned my chair, pulled out a bin, dug out a dusty black box, and there it was.
funny thing is watching in 720, which most ofthe planet does, there is almost no difference. At 1080 you can see a difference but it does make me rethink all the cameras i thought i needed. All of these sonys, canons,panasonics that i've not been able to buy,- not a single one- are not the most relevant thing anymore. This also explains why some yourube channels i have been watching have improved their quality lately. They didn't get a clue about production values, they just got a newer camera.
Your review is the best among the thousands of pocket three videos I have watched, after this detailed review I’m so convinced to go ahead and buy pocket three.Thank you and have a good day and night
This was fun :) I also dread using Catalyst browse, not only was it slow but my testing showed it softened the image upon export, and it wasn't just the 5% crop, their rendering engine is slow and bad. I switched to Gyroflow and haven't looked back, the OFX plugin for Resolve means I can stabilize right in timelines as well without going to an external application.
Please show us how you got that color in your video with the Osmo Pocket 3. I would love to see a mini tutorial of it. I bought it and want to learn how to make my videos look like yours. Thank you so much for your content.
I was waiting for this review. I could tell you smelled the death. I bought mine when it came out. Haven't been anywhere interesting to test, so it sits with every other camera I have purchased, ready for random selection on day trips when the weather gets better. Here in the U.K there's no cold and sunshine in the north. Just cold, dull, rainy and foggy. Roll on spring, where every video I take isn't an archive of footage you want to depress yourself with when it's summer and we're all too cheerful. Great video as always! :)
I just ordered a Pocket 3 yesterday (here in Toronto) and hope to bring it to England perhaps in Autumn, around London. I was originally going to bring my Sony a7C which I would have mounted on my Weebill S gimbal, and which would have made for a sore forearm fairly quickly! Obviously, it's going to be the Pocket 3 instead. If they keep advancing cameras like this, it may be time to quickly sell our bigger, more expensive cameras, before they quickly lose their resale value!
Would love to get your views on the HLG on the pocket 3 as your findings on the lack of dynamic range on D log compared to normal mode has really thrown me. I’m going to test that out.
It’s pretty rugged, I just took it on a two month overland / camping trip and it’s pretty banged up, but still working great. Even got a little light rain on it a few times and it didn’t bat an eye.
Finally the review I was waiting for. Good to see a small pocket camera compete with the bigger more expensive stuff, but a lot of people who travel places will switch to it from their Go Pro's and Action 4's, and the Pocket 3 blurs the background where you can no longer read street signs and see details from the background that you'd normally enjoy seeing as they walk and talk with their older action cam or phone. The same extremely blurring the background was also on the new iPhone15, I hope the travelers don't pickup these cameras and walk around in a blurry background making travel vidoes, I prefer sacrifing the quality of focus on the mites having a party on the vloggers face to get a clearer background. Thanks for the late review ;)
i don't have the 3 yet@@l337z0r if you find someone, maybe a small channel who are willing to do this, ask them to do a video with maybe arms length vlogging, and 20 cm (8") extension. according to the photopills calculator, between the pocket 2 and 3 about this much would give the same depth of field between the two cameras. (5.4 vs 8.2 equivalent aperture) i remember most people here in the comments of this channel have considered the pocket 2 to have a sharp background, but not the 3 of course. people usually try going the other way to blurry backgrounds, so it's difficult to think of a video where someone tries to make it sharper
No, the Nikon Z30 is horrible. It loses focus all the time, the stabilisation makes the image more jerky and the exposure flickers a lot. It is a horrible little camera.
Yup the Pocket 3 is the best. So use the A7Siii for the shots that you want to get a nice bokeh, the Pocket 3 for vlogging for sure, and the phone for super slow mo. But what would the Pocket look like in Topaz? That might be great. Also, the Pocket looks a lot like the iPhone 15 Pro in ProRes.
@@cameraconspiracies Dude, you're genius. I love that let me fly song.. it came in a dream? subbed.. Sucks that it hasn't taken off. I have a guitar making channel, the music channels are really hard to get going. , you really do inspire me in alot of ways Now I have even more content to bing...
First time seeing your channel. You are awesome lol so sp funny and the way you narrate it keeps you watching. Amazing functional video pocket camera for sure. One thing I noticed is the background was way clearer than the other cameras. I don't know about the focus settings and modes in each (never used any of those models) but even the more expensive ones had the blurry background. And also in slow motion. So I don't know how, but the DJI Pocket 3 managed to have a clear shot of your head and you could see what was in the background. Not so subtle difference. Also the stabilization of the small gimbal I think is superior to practically any other camera without gimbal, not comparing it to professional gimbals of course. And the face tracking or rotation of the camera is something you can't phisiically do with other cameras if you don't move it manually. Cheers
Your white hat was a perfect choice. The dynamic range, that white was nice on DJI pocket 3. Wow, even 3 x times more expensive Sony was beaten, with only one exception, i don t remember which one was it. Too bad I can not wait for DJI 4 to be release.
I’ve been thinking about upgrading my canon rp to r8 because of the superior video capabilities. Also was looking to add an rf 24mm f1.8 stm to carry around a good lite weight video shooter. But I may just get the pocket 3 instead. I also have an older zhiyun crane gimbal but could never travel with that thing. But this Pocket 3 seems to kill 3 birds with one stone. Not that it’s better than the r8, but for dad cam and travel vids this thing seems to kill it. I hate traveling with a gimbal.
I just switched from Fuji to Canon R8 and I am really delighted with image quality and colours it produces but damn for travel I am really thinking hard about Pocket 3 + Ricoh GR III combo and be done with it. Who wants to bring the big stuff especially with kids nowadays.
Dragged my r6 thru the slums of india for 6 weeks :) Along with two heavy primes in a hydration pack where it all fitted into padding made out of a sleeping cusion and duck tape haha. Got amazing footage but i get what you’r saying :)
I am quite literally waiting for Best Buy to open this morning to run and finally buy the Pocket 3 today. LOL I loved my Pocket 2 and they improved this so much!!
I love your vlogging humor and the attention to detail. Your personality draws the viewers in and I found that I was compelled to keep watching because of your interesting and very humorous take on everything. I feel that you are fair in your reviews but there is certain things I love/dislike about all of the cameras. I feel that the vlogging footage from Action 4 is a better all rounder, while the DSLR is better for studio setting. The other DJI pocket 3 is way too fragile on the gymbal head and could break easier. The Insta360 Ace Pro I'm not sure.
I really wish the DJI pocket 3 had a slightly wider field of view. But there is gimbal lock on pocket 3. Just press and hold left joystick button a lock will appear right hand top corner and gimbal will hold lock on the frame you are shooting, release the button and you will unlock.
So what about the fact that the Dji osmo pocket 3, not being waterproof ? That is a big disadvantage , especially with the amount of rain we have had in the UK
14:46 This presents it perfectly and it's why I leave my P3 in Normal color. CLOG is so easy to grade as well.....saving a few more pennies for that R8.
That video is incredible👍 the effort you have gone to show the comparisons is the first one I’ve seen done. I purchased one a few weeks ago and have to say I love it. Keep up the great work from a new subscriber 👌👌👌
If they put this sensor in a point and shoot body like the ZV1F they've got a killer. The pocket 3 is an awesome all-around camera and these comparisons are way closer than they should be.
As someone who has been shopping to buy a new camera for months. That was hands-down, one of the most entertaining videos I’ve ever seen. I laughed out, loud many times. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you kindly sir. I still need to decide if I want to get the camera that beat all the cameras. I’m still just looking for something to do Head, what would you recommend for that? I was thinking Sony Zv e1 w/ 16-35 ?
What really impresses me is the quality of your audio! Is there some tips or settings you apply in post you can recommend? I even have an expensive studio mic and I still can't get this audio quality for youtube.
Not being able to make 360 Panoramas combined with the lack of true vertical shooting is a major problem as this would enable the camera to be used in real estate virtual tours and 360 shots of any interior. Maybe it is possible with the wide angle lens and a firmware update?
It can’t mechanically rotate 360 degrees, so I’m not sure how feasible that would be. Maybe it can get close enough with the wide angle, that’s an interesting thought.
that insta360 ace thing is so ridiculous. lol. The magnet on the murse is magnificiant. I have a pocket 2, and I don't think it's worth the upgrade. Plus I like the more narrow field of view.
duh!!!! i bought a pocket 2 in 2020, and never looked back. the concept is brilliant on the Pocket series. it doesn't destroy "real" cameras, but it is so easy to use, convenient, big pluses.
I have the original DJI pocket and it does the odd gimbal wandering insanity. A grain of sand in the running gear also makes it mechanically die. In theory they've improved that but be very very careful where you use the Pocket. Also the microphone could not handle slow dirt road driving - the wind noise blew out the mic and now it's basically useless for vlogging but it still gets good B-roll - when the gimbal behaves....
it's a nice rig but i've checked and the average price for those in canada is 293k canadian dollars over 17 years. much too serious equipment for simple vlogging if you ask me
Is there a way to make it act like a point and shoot camera? The camera should always be looking forward in one direction without the gimbal engaging in slow panning when physically panning the camera towards something.
fast follow mode with first person video (fpv) mode will do that. why though? in slow follow and horizon lock it's like having a rather good tripod with a fluid head in your pocket
I have to say I rather enjoy your videos man... pretty freaking entertaining. Also has their been a n update yet to stop the swaying from left to right on the dji pocket?
I use the Batt-Grip always. When you shoot LONG you need it! Charging is also easy with it using a Powerbank. The ne wireless Mic ist reat as well! Thumbs UP!
well, now I know -- that's why I bought it! I thought it was just a hunch. And the price. And the timelapse with like programmable points to slowly turn the gimbal.
I’m more of a beginner and definitely not a vlogger. I like to take pictures with my camera. I can’t see how this beats any of the other cameras. Is a video camera. Sure it takes stills and it might take great stills but it’s limited compared to every other camera. I’d say most of you are right it shouldn’t be close the Dji should blow those cameras away in video since it is primarily a video camera/vlog camera. Yet all these cameras come so close no most people can’t tell, and also have the ability to blow away the Dji in taking stills. The Pocket 3 is a nice addition to have to a proper semi pro camera. Very nice at what it does but not as game changing as a lot are making it out to be. I’m team Nikon p950.
The beauty of the Pocket 3 is, if you can only carry one camera with you that is the best all rounder. All those other cameras have their strengths but as you said, the P3 is good enough all around. It fits in my man bag and it’s always ready to go. I shoot more with that than I do with my iPhone now and to be honest, other than the Dolby Vision on the iPhone, I think the Pocket 3 looks better.
I’d much rather have my Nikon p950 than a nice video camera. I’d say it is a way better “all rounder” as you call it. It can do WAY more. So can your Phone in most cases.
@@ForecastGrim Then go for it. I can’t carry around such a big camera and when I whip my phone out people notice it. My P3 is stealthy and works for me. Thanks.
It’s so useful for me to have a tool like the DJI Pocket in my equipment that I even have one. It helps me from time to time, but it cannot replace all my cameras, just as it cannot replace even my GoPro, which I also need from time to time. And here I have the following question: did you need the other cameras before, if the DJI Pocket replaced all this for you? )
The craziest thing is that I remember when I watched your first video about the DJI POCKET 3, you were talking about the hype and specifically remember you saying you would hate a camera gimbal because of the drifting it does lol you even mimicked the way it does with your head hahahah. Now we are here watching you going through exactly what you’ve said you would have a hard time with 😅
From the 1st split, between the Action and the Pocket, I did learn something! If one wants a proper looking image, one needs a proper camera. If any image will do? Then, heck - buy a $99 smartphone gimbal and start recording.
After obsessing about it, just got mine! Thanks @family 🙏🥰 Shot my first takes at home with warm LED lights, transferred to iPad 12.9 M2 and boom. Can’t even correct the video to show in good colors! This may need some proper software. Warm, cool, and the tint won’t do it. Scared that my obsession might have turned into a bad investment and it’s past midnight so… Now I got to see your video and the quality is stunning. And it gave me a good laugh! 🤣 Still, I do hope I won’t have to color correct every single Clip, because I don’t have the time. Heck, getting good footage out of the camera should be part of the deal, right? 😳 OK, let‘s stay hopeful.

I can say it lacks 3000fps slow mo in HD, and call it a flaw... This camera for this price is briliant, with all the "flaws".
I am really enjoying the Pocket 3 for your channel, CC. It's a very good fit for your vlogging style. There's still room to have fun with other cameras but the Pocket 3 does the bread and butter footage so well.
Your personality and how you crafted this video is absolutely awesome! Well done, CC!
Pocket 3 is the AI of cameras.
Other cameras be like: This camera is gonna take over our jobs.
They took our jerbs!!!
You absolutely crack me up. Already bought the DJI, but this only reinforced my decision. Thanks for the amount of time it took for you to do this.
Hows your experience with it? Is it good for color grading?
@@ramanandh1261 As long as you film in D-Log M, it sure is.
Pretty impressed with the Pocket 3. I didn't think it would hold its ground so well against the big boys. It would be even closer If DJI didn't use such an aggresive oversharpening but pretty impressive overall.
You can reduce the sharpening in the settings
and better zoom
My wife works at a university, managing some of the conference rooms. They had been using cameras and ipads to film lectures and discussions, but it was messy and confusing.
Then this came out just when they were about to order new Apple stuff, and they went all in on DJI. Not all the lecturers or assistants are computer or camera savvy, but they found this very easy to use.
Agree for vlogging the OA4 (or GP) much easier if any significant movement or of course anything that might be considered action (biking, packrafting etc), but casual recording for just about anything else the OP3 tops it. Great actually. Not the best for studio work but it can still work well enough. So your cameras might be needed for studio work, certainly any zoom stuff and if you decide you want to be a photographer some days. It looks like a great tool for a lot of uses. Btw R8 does still look nice!
I've been going down a rabbit hole on this DJI Pocket 3 after a coworker got one. It really is well suited for vlogging purposes and capturing solid quality video footage. For the majority of users its probably a good fit for their needs.
Your personality makes your videos so fun to watch. Lot of talent in you. "It is focus 15 years into my past " got me Take care and be blessed.
I think the background separation of the Pocket 3 is perfect for vlogging, where the viewer actually want to see the environment, just not as sharp as the foreground.
It's so much more convenient for streaming. Good quality. So much easier to set up than a regular camera and takes up way less space.
@@PensivePixelsbut it is fragile too..
@@saurabh-techie Hardly an issue for my uses. It's always just sitting on a desk, tripod, or held in the hand.
The focus breathing on the Pocket 3 is pretty bad.
For casual vlogging, nothing comes close to the pocket 3. However action cameras are more rugged and waterproof. Also the wider FoV is better for POV shots.
I noticed that too on my pocket 3. They really should add a focus speed setting, would help a lot
Curious to know whether you used the low light mode for the low light shooting on the Pocket 3 for those low light shots you showed? IME the low light mode on the Pocket 3 is complete arse. On the other hand, if you put it into normal mode, turn the noise reduction off and the sharpening to zero, and run in max 1600 ISO, I've found the low light performance of the Pocket 3 to be pretty incredible!
Totally agree!
What is the scenario when 1600 is enough? In bright indoors? Not for my cases. Up to iso 3200 you don't need to use the low light mode. If you go into even darker places, then the low light mode is very useful.
They should have called it "no light mode".
Yes I agree with you w from what I’ve seen on reviews. I think it looks better when not in low light mode. I even asked on reviewer which he thought was better and he got all mad for some reason 😂.
The Canon R8 image is jawdroppingly good.
Wow, it's the ideal camera for outdoor vlogging-compact and straightforward! Thank you for taking the time to review it👍👍
Some how, you have out lived all the other camera channels, same vibe, new year, new camera... and we are all the better for it.
Defo an impressive camera.
What you get from the pocket 3 for the weight and price is so much value...
I got the action 4, I was shocked how nice it looks. It doesn’t have that action cam look. I have a a7c, g7x iii and others.
I couldn't agree more. Prefer the full frame image, but the stabilisation is so good and it is so small and easy to use that it is now our main vlogging camera!
Hey Kasey, I lost my job so I had to sell my Sony A7 iv and pro lenses but needed a camera to continue filming for this channel. I kinda guessed it would do ok filming RC cars but was worried about it coping with my studio product shots. I mean, I can tell the difference, but this is all I need for now until I can afford a full frame "pro" set up again. Check out my last few reviews and see this in action on a motion control slider 😊
Loving your channel and content. In the electronics review sphere, easily the most excellent combo of professionalism, detail, and total humanity / authentic personality (best I can tell, not knowing you). I watched your video about the best shotgun mic and hilariously when you pulled out the relatively obscure (in video) oktava mk-012-01, I had a lightbulb moment, turned my chair, pulled out a bin, dug out a dusty black box, and there it was.
funny thing is watching in 720, which most ofthe planet does, there is almost no difference. At 1080 you can see a difference but it does make me rethink all the cameras i thought i needed. All of these sonys, canons,panasonics that i've not been able to buy,- not a single one- are not the most relevant thing anymore.
This also explains why some yourube channels i have been watching have improved their quality lately. They didn't get a clue about production values, they just got a newer camera.
dude im so glad youve stuck with your channel. 146k wow.. congrats man!
Your review is the best among the thousands of pocket three videos I have watched, after this detailed review I’m so convinced to go ahead and buy pocket three.Thank you and have a good day and night
If they release a full frame version we're all dead lol😂
It's called Ronin 4D
😅@@trym2121
that's a bit big though @@trym2121
S35 sensor would do the job too imho
Actually, even a crop sensor with good software, would already destroy the majority of all the other competitors IMO 😅
This was fun :)
I also dread using Catalyst browse, not only was it slow but my testing showed it softened the image upon export, and it wasn't just the 5% crop, their rendering engine is slow and bad. I switched to Gyroflow and haven't looked back, the OFX plugin for Resolve means I can stabilize right in timelines as well without going to an external application.
This was probably one of the best camera comparisons ever! Also comical 😂
Please show us how you got that color in your video with the Osmo Pocket 3. I would love to see a mini tutorial of it. I bought it and want to learn how to make my videos look like yours. Thank you so much for your content.
I was waiting for this review. I could tell you smelled the death. I bought mine when it came out. Haven't been anywhere interesting to test, so it sits with every other camera I have purchased, ready for random selection on day trips when the weather gets better. Here in the U.K there's no cold and sunshine in the north. Just cold, dull, rainy and foggy. Roll on spring, where every video I take isn't an archive of footage you want to depress yourself with when it's summer and we're all too cheerful.
Great video as always! :)
I just ordered a Pocket 3 yesterday (here in Toronto) and hope to bring it to England perhaps in Autumn, around London. I was originally going to bring my Sony a7C which I would have mounted on my Weebill S gimbal, and which would have made for a sore forearm fairly quickly! Obviously, it's going to be the Pocket 3 instead. If they keep advancing cameras like this, it may be time to quickly sell our bigger, more expensive cameras, before they quickly lose their resale value!
Would love to get your views on the HLG on the pocket 3 as your findings on the lack of dynamic range on D log compared to normal mode has really thrown me. I’m going to test that out.
I think I'll be buying the Pocket 3 for travel later this year. I really wish it was a bit more rugged and weather sealed...
It’s pretty rugged, I just took it on a two month overland / camping trip and it’s pretty banged up, but still working great. Even got a little light rain on it a few times and it didn’t bat an eye.
I've dropped mine twice from waist height, still good.
They have this screen rotation issue though...
wrist straps, wrist straps. came in the box mah man!@@cameraconspiracies
It's fallen off my car window (inside) a fair few times and it's been fine. It has an gimbal protect mode that engages if it detects a violent fall.
Finally the review I was waiting for. Good to see a small pocket camera compete with the bigger more expensive stuff, but a lot of people who travel places will switch to it from their Go Pro's and Action 4's, and the Pocket 3 blurs the background where you can no longer read street signs and see details from the background that you'd normally enjoy seeing as they walk and talk with their older action cam or phone. The same extremely blurring the background was also on the new iPhone15, I hope the travelers don't pickup these cameras and walk around in a blurry background making travel vidoes, I prefer sacrifing the quality of focus on the mites having a party on the vloggers face to get a clearer background. Thanks for the late review ;)
@@markifigot a link to any example videos showing less blurry backgrounds with pocket 3?
i don't have the 3 yet@@l337z0r if you find someone, maybe a small channel who are willing to do this, ask them to do a video with maybe arms length vlogging, and 20 cm (8") extension. according to the photopills calculator, between the pocket 2 and 3 about this much would give the same depth of field between the two cameras. (5.4 vs 8.2 equivalent aperture) i remember most people here in the comments of this channel have considered the pocket 2 to have a sharp background, but not the 3 of course. people usually try going the other way to blurry backgrounds, so it's difficult to think of a video where someone tries to make it sharper
I might trade my pocket 3 in for an action 4.
I like the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 + Nikon Z30 the most 👍🏻 At least for vlogging there is no need to spend the extra money!
No, the Nikon Z30 is horrible. It loses focus all the time, the stabilisation makes the image more jerky and the exposure flickers a lot. It is a horrible little camera.
I love my DJi Pocket 3 ... been using it at weddings and it's just fantastic.
Hands down the most informative, real-ass, entertaining reviewer in the solar system.... "Focused fifteen years into my past..." lol.
Sony A7SIII shrunken into a witches stick? LOL :)
Man what a video finally a real world review! I gave up on log D and now film on normal thanks 🙏
My DJI make a pocket 4 PRO wishlist:
- full frame
- zoom lens
Yup the Pocket 3 is the best. So use the A7Siii for the shots that you want to get a nice bokeh, the Pocket 3 for vlogging for sure, and the phone for super slow mo. But what would the Pocket look like in Topaz? That might be great. Also, the Pocket looks a lot like the iPhone 15 Pro in ProRes.
Why don't you have a music channel? I'm constantly impressed by your music. How about an episode of your music?
I do, it just never took off ua-cam.com/channels/tZqpJDgfWkCOJR70ou674w.html
@@cameraconspiracies Dude, you're genius. I love that let me fly song.. it came in a dream?
subbed.. Sucks that it hasn't taken off. I have a guitar making channel, the music channels are really hard to get going. , you really do inspire me in alot of ways
Now I have even more content to bing...
First time seeing your channel. You are awesome lol so sp funny and the way you narrate it keeps you watching. Amazing functional video pocket camera for sure. One thing I noticed is the background was way clearer than the other cameras. I don't know about the focus settings and modes in each (never used any of those models) but even the more expensive ones had the blurry background. And also in slow motion. So I don't know how, but the DJI Pocket 3 managed to have a clear shot of your head and you could see what was in the background. Not so subtle difference. Also the stabilization of the small gimbal I think is superior to practically any other camera without gimbal, not comparing it to professional gimbals of course. And the face tracking or rotation of the camera is something you can't phisiically do with other cameras if you don't move it manually. Cheers
Literally just ordered the pocket 3 creator combo about half hour ago. Your awesome video confirms I made the right choice :-)
Mantis pod footage was excellent. Huge leap for DJI since my Omso 3 which only came into focus when you could no longer make out any detail 😆.
Your white hat was a perfect choice. The dynamic range, that white was nice on DJI pocket 3.
Wow, even 3 x times more expensive Sony was beaten, with only one exception, i don t remember which one was it.
Too bad I can not wait for DJI 4 to be release.
I’ve been thinking about upgrading my canon rp to r8 because of the superior video capabilities. Also was looking to add an rf 24mm f1.8 stm to carry around a good lite weight video shooter. But I may just get the pocket 3 instead. I also have an older zhiyun crane gimbal but could never travel with that thing.
But this Pocket 3 seems to kill 3 birds with one stone. Not that it’s better than the r8, but for dad cam and travel vids this thing seems to kill it. I hate traveling with a gimbal.
I just switched from Fuji to Canon R8 and I am really delighted with image quality and colours it produces but damn for travel I am really thinking hard about Pocket 3 + Ricoh GR III combo and be done with it. Who wants to bring the big stuff especially with kids nowadays.
Dragged my r6 thru the slums of india for 6 weeks :) Along with two heavy primes in a hydration pack where it all fitted into padding made out of a sleeping cusion and duck tape haha. Got amazing footage but i get what you’r saying :)
I am quite literally waiting for Best Buy to open this morning to run and finally buy the Pocket 3 today. LOL
I loved my Pocket 2 and they improved this so much!!
And acquired!! :D
I love your vlogging humor and the attention to detail. Your personality draws the viewers in and I found that I was compelled to keep watching because of your interesting and very humorous take on everything. I feel that you are fair in your reviews but there is certain things I love/dislike about all of the cameras. I feel that the vlogging footage from Action 4 is a better all rounder, while the DSLR is better for studio setting. The other DJI pocket 3 is way too fragile on the gymbal head and could break easier. The Insta360 Ace Pro I'm not sure.
Let's just appreciate that he crossed back to the same side of the street each time he starts the slow-mo test.
how is your action 4 footage so good? mine is always grainy and noise even in daylight. a lot of artefacts too even in normal conditions
Yet the Canadians have more beautiful people, eh?
I really wish the DJI pocket 3 had a slightly wider field of view. But there is gimbal lock on pocket 3. Just press and hold left joystick button a lock will appear right hand top corner and gimbal will hold lock on the frame you are shooting, release the button and you will unlock.
So what about the fact that the Dji osmo pocket 3, not being waterproof ? That is a big disadvantage , especially with the amount of rain we have had in the UK
I'm really having fun with the slow-mo footage
Awesome comparison video, the best I've seen on UA-cam, thanks CC!
Got to admit the image quality on the R8 really looks good but yea the dji p3 for vlogging pretty darn good.
Slow mo by the Slow Down sign.. just genius! 👍😂
14:46 This presents it perfectly and it's why I leave my P3 in Normal color. CLOG is so easy to grade as well.....saving a few more pennies for that R8.
So, if i wanna start vlogging, should i get the action 4 or pocket 3?
Nikon Z30
That video is incredible👍 the effort you have gone to show the comparisons is the first one I’ve seen done. I purchased one a few weeks ago and have to say I love it. Keep up the great work from a new subscriber 👌👌👌
If they put this sensor in a point and shoot body like the ZV1F they've got a killer. The pocket 3 is an awesome all-around camera and these comparisons are way closer than they should be.
Actually thinking of the two. Any particular advantage Sony zv 1 if I vlog in just my room over this dji osmo?
As someone who has been shopping to buy a new camera for months. That was hands-down, one of the most entertaining videos I’ve ever seen. I laughed out, loud many times.
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you kindly sir.
I still need to decide if I want to get the camera that beat all the cameras.
I’m still just looking for something to do Head, what would you recommend for that?
I was thinking Sony Zv e1 w/ 16-35 ?
What really impresses me is the quality of your audio! Is there some tips or settings you apply in post you can recommend? I even have an expensive studio mic and I still can't get this audio quality for youtube.
Image IQ ranked: (1) Canon R8; (2) DJI Pocket 3; (3) Nikon Z30; (4) Sony A7S III.
Agree. DJI shockingly good but when the Canon side by side happened it was clearly a more gorgeous look … curse it!
Actually crazy good yes as soon as the price comes down
the previous version's price only ever went up until the 3 got released so i wouldn't hold my breath
Not being able to make 360 Panoramas combined with the lack of true vertical shooting is a major problem as this would enable the camera to be used in real estate virtual tours and 360 shots of any interior.
Maybe it is possible with the wide angle lens and a firmware update?
It can’t mechanically rotate 360 degrees, so I’m not sure how feasible that would be. Maybe it can get close enough with the wide angle, that’s an interesting thought.
that insta360 ace thing is so ridiculous. lol. The magnet on the murse is magnificiant.
I have a pocket 2, and I don't think it's worth the upgrade. Plus I like the more narrow field of view.
Casey you are the best! Made me laugh so many times through this... You're like a good friend I never met :'D
You had me sold on the nikon but main can't deny how well that OP3 performs.
duh!!!! i bought a pocket 2 in 2020, and never looked back. the concept is brilliant on the Pocket series. it doesn't destroy "real" cameras, but it is so easy to use, convenient, big pluses.
It's definitely not as good as my Canon. But it's WAY too close for what it is and how little it costs. DJI is taking over.
Pocket 3 is REALLY good. Wit the wide angle lens adapter the hand held vlog is probably a bit better, but even without it... solid.
I have the original DJI pocket and it does the odd gimbal wandering insanity. A grain of sand in the running gear also makes it mechanically die. In theory they've improved that but be very very careful where you use the Pocket. Also the microphone could not handle slow dirt road driving - the wind noise blew out the mic and now it's basically useless for vlogging but it still gets good B-roll - when the gimbal behaves....
The color fringing in the trees for the A7SIII made me prefer the DJI 👀
One of your best videos 😊 very enjoyable
Absolutely Great In-depth Review and Comparisons.
Interesting. The pocket looked great. Inside at the end, the colors seemed off. the walls looked greeen. Is this correctable in post?
Video on the pocket 3 looks great! Is this straight out of the camera? No color grading? What are your settings in these videos?
@13:15 - there is a guy walking toward with camera in the background with an awesome chest mount camera complete with gimbal - & you missed it!!!
it's a nice rig but i've checked and the average price for those in canada is 293k canadian dollars over 17 years. much too serious equipment for simple vlogging if you ask me
ah yes - & don't I know it!!! 🤣@@markifi
Is there a way to make it act like a point and shoot camera? The camera should always be looking forward in one direction without the gimbal engaging in slow panning when physically panning the camera towards something.
fast follow mode with first person video (fpv) mode will do that. why though? in slow follow and horizon lock it's like having a rather good tripod with a fluid head in your pocket
I have to say I rather enjoy your videos man... pretty freaking entertaining. Also has their been a n update yet to stop the swaying from left to right on the dji pocket?
I use the Batt-Grip always. When you shoot LONG you need it! Charging is also easy with it using a Powerbank. The ne wireless Mic ist reat as well! Thumbs UP!
I love the OP3. I haven't found anything that can really compete with it for the same price.
well, now I know -- that's why I bought it! I thought it was just a hunch. And the price. And the timelapse with like programmable points to slowly turn the gimbal.
"If you catalyst browse your way through life" lmaoooooo I died
I’m more of a beginner and definitely not a vlogger. I like to take pictures with my camera. I can’t see how this beats any of the other cameras. Is a video camera. Sure it takes stills and it might take great stills but it’s limited compared to every other camera. I’d say most of you are right it shouldn’t be close the Dji should blow those cameras away in video since it is primarily a video camera/vlog camera. Yet all these cameras come so close no most people can’t tell, and also have the ability to blow away the Dji in taking stills.
The Pocket 3 is a nice addition to have to a proper semi pro camera.
Very nice at what it does but not as game changing as a lot are making it out to be.
I’m team Nikon p950.
The beauty of the Pocket 3 is, if you can only carry one camera with you that is the best all rounder. All those other cameras have their strengths but as you said, the P3 is good enough all around. It fits in my man bag and it’s always ready to go. I shoot more with that than I do with my iPhone now and to be honest, other than the Dolby Vision on the iPhone, I think the Pocket 3 looks better.
I’d much rather have my Nikon p950 than a nice video camera. I’d say it is a way better “all rounder” as you call it. It can do WAY more.
So can your Phone in most cases.
@@ForecastGrim Then go for it. I can’t carry around such a big camera and when I whip my phone out people notice it. My P3 is stealthy and works for me. Thanks.
The slo mo shots are the best.
I heard TAPs being played in the background for this channel That DJI Pocket 3 is "KING" the Z30 looks good too. Pack up time to go home! 😉
It’s so useful for me to have a tool like the DJI Pocket in my equipment that I even have one. It helps me from time to time, but it cannot replace all my cameras, just as it cannot replace even my GoPro, which I also need from time to time. And here I have the following question: did you need the other cameras before, if the DJI Pocket replaced all this for you? )
The craziest thing is that I remember when I watched your first video about the DJI POCKET 3, you were talking about the hype and specifically remember you saying you would hate a camera gimbal because of the drifting it does lol you even mimicked the way it does with your head hahahah. Now we are here watching you going through exactly what you’ve said you would have a hard time with 😅
it's almost always a treat to get a notification of your next video. enjoying this PO3 series too especially.
From the 1st split, between the Action and the Pocket, I did learn something! If one wants a proper looking image, one needs a proper camera. If any image will do? Then, heck - buy a $99 smartphone gimbal and start recording.
I thought I saw a magenta tint on the Sony A7!! I was watching on my iPad, but it was a shock. Nikon looked the sharpest with all the fur.
I like the Sony a7siii better in every shot but I wanna get a dji pocket 3... cuz it was close
Glad I'm not the only guy out there bragging about his one inch.
it's not about the size of the sensor, it's how you move it around in the body
After obsessing about it, just got mine! Thanks @family 🙏🥰
Shot my first takes at home with warm LED lights, transferred to iPad 12.9 M2 and boom. Can’t even correct the video to show in good colors! This may need some proper software. Warm, cool, and the tint won’t do it. Scared that my obsession might have turned into a bad investment and it’s past midnight so…
Now I got to see your video and the quality is stunning. And it gave me a good laugh! 🤣
Still, I do hope I won’t have to color correct every single Clip, because I don’t have the time. Heck, getting good footage out of the camera should be part of the deal, right? 😳 OK, let‘s stay hopeful.
