Sooo... I have a Pocket 3 and my initial intention was not to use it for golf, but I have been. I have filmed around 10 rounds or so now and I have found that as great as it is for maybe shooting individually, it isn't so great and continuous. The gimble does not like micro stutters from pushing cart over small bumps etc, it really lacks range without losing quality, so unless you have the time to quickly clip it to a tripod then set that on the green, it's left on the cart far away from puts. I have solved the battery issue with and external batter pack, which I can record as long as I have room on my memory card, so it can record a full 18 holes. However, now in the summer months, I find that it has a significant overheating problem. I am pretty sure DJI new this, which is why they released in in the colder months.

Great vid! I have a Pocket 3 and still haven't used it. Have to give it a try based on your recommendation!
@GolfParfection5 ай бұрын
I think you stand to gain maybe a little bit better image quality? But outside of that you have the same audio so it may be a wash unless you like the usability of thr camera itself. Battery is better probably too and then you can free up your phone so that is a plus! Biggest con though is that the screen is miniscule compared to your phone screen so it'll be something to get used to.

Good advice! I started with a Gopro for when I play by myself. Then recently got a 4K camera for when I play with people and they can zoom in on shots so the quality of the video doesn't go down (like you mentioned happens when you do that with the Pocket 3). Also got a drone (when I'm playing with friends) to get some cool shots either behind the tee box or on the green or even some hole flyovers!

GREAT video!! Super informative - thank you so much! And I agree about the Osmo Pocket 3 !! I use it exclusively for the videos on my channel - as you can see (assuming you go look) the quality is tremendous and works out great. I'm especially happy to see your tripod recommendation, going to your affiliate link now!

Great video! Two questions: do you have to get the courses' permission to film onsite and do you have to get the people you play with to sign anything acknowledging they will be on camera?
@GolfParfection3 ай бұрын
Hey there! Nope I do not get there courses permission the logic being if I play with pace and don't take away from any one else's experience there isn't a need. In terms of filming with people I don't know in my group I just ask them if they are ok with it and everyone I have played with has been cool about it. Although I do mostly hedge by playing with people I know. Good luck!

Loved the info! I actually bought the joby mount and the monopod that you use for your current setup! I have a little confusion with it though and I was hoping you could help me figure out, how the heck do you connect the joby mount to the monopod, the threading looks to be different sizes and the hardware needed was not included so I'm curious on what you have done to get the two to connect?
@GolfParfection5 ай бұрын
Hey there! If the thread on the monopod is bigger than the joby mount, there should be a little screw adapter inside the joby screw hole that you can take out with a flat head screw driver. Also depending on how the monopod comes shipped you may have to change it around where the end with the larger circumference is at the bottom like mine and use a combination of the 3/8" to 1/4" adapter screw.

Awesome. I am planning on starting a youtube channel and have been experimenting with the osmo pocket 3. I find it awesome. Was going to try to use a sony zv-1, but i don't think it compares to the ease of use. I purchased final cut pro and shot tracer pro. Where do you keep your footage? On external ssd? And what is the fastest way to transfer onto mac? I actually have a ton of questions, is there a way to dm?
@GolfParfection6 ай бұрын
Best place to DM is on IG. Zv1 is a decent option but I think it's prone to overheating in 4k. I keep my footage on an external fast SSD and edit off of that 🤙

Pretty much you'll just have to buy a generic iphone tripod mount and you're set if the one you buy doesn't come with one. Not sure if this comes with one or not but shouldn't be too much more to get a phone tripod mount.
