Thanks a lot Jay, yeah, do check them out, they're great!

Even for commetcial use it is alright, I think a lot of estate agents will do their videos with it.

You must really hate those ‘iPhone v cinema camera’ videos and there’s a shit-ton of guys making them! 😂

@@adorjan.botondalong with the mini 3 which seems to be used a lot for corporate videos.

You wont use it for cinema for sure and ofcorse 5K camera lens gimbal combo is better…..but does this combo fits in your bag? I had the first pocket since it came out until the end of 2023….than it was stolen from me…You know what? Than i realised how exactly i was using it. I’ve never used it as a A camera, but as B or C camera when i needed that extra angle it was just perfect and i’ve had it always with me. I remember when i bought the GH5 and it was my A cam until the S5ii… now i use 2xS5ii and i leave the GH5 and the GH5s at home……but sometimes i still wish i had the pocket with me as C cam or for bts footage……So i bought the pocket 3 today. HUGE improvement in quality. This 1 inch sensor really makes a difference.

I loved the everything about the video: picture quality, audio, the way info was presented and this really helped me not only understand the capabilities and limitations and how I might use it. Inside the church looked really good. Streaks & ghosting is one place mirrorless cameras have an advantage over the pocket or cell phones by using lens hoods and zoom lenses.

Thanks a lot, yeah, I'm not as hyper or action packed as some but sometimes people like that.

@@HuFilms I personally very much enjoy your style. I am still working on my channel and developing a niche and getting comfortable in front of the camera. Just picked up this little guy to supplement my mirrorless cams much like you are. Thanks for a very nicely presented overview with very valid opinions.

Thanks Josh, hope you're well buddy!

Wow, thanks!

Hey, thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it!

My pleasure!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot!

ha ha, thanks. that was nuts!

Yeah, considering it costs only 500 and the Ronin is 8k plus. There's a gap there in which a more solid, higher quality unit would work. Even if it meant fitting your phone onto it.

Thanks, no I haven't see those options yet. Most gimbal work I do will be with my Ronin and R5C and I can get smooth results with that. A bit of bobbing for vlog stuff is OK.

Yeah, good point. Not something I need much as I only ever do zoom meetings with clients really and the macbook cam is fine for that. Must try it though, thanks.

Hey Gavin, got your email thanks, will get back to you on that. The Osmo will be great for on the move but bring a longer lens on a mirrorless body if you can.

@@HuFilms Cheers Hugh - no rush on replying (just when you get a moment - we're heading to Spain in March). Appreciate any insights ! Cheers, Gavin

Thanks a lot. On a 'higher end' job in which I was filming pre-planned shots with the intention of capturing as nice as footage as possible, then I would opt to put the time into setting up the gimbal. It takes me about 4 minutes to go from camera in bad to first gimbal shot so that's not long. We spend a lot more time than that doodling around with other gear anyway. I would use the Osmo for convenience, and to grab quick bits for social media and the likes but I wouldn't use it as my main camera. The light flares from it are pretty bad.

Thanks, but that’s a totally different setup. I used to use the original x5 from the Inspire on the OG osmo. Something like this, I’m on about.

@@HuFilms My tongue was slightly in my cheek but I do suspect they would want to be careful that a more pro version of the Pocket 3 didn't undermine the 4D for budget-constrained videographers. We'll see... Anyway I have now watched the video. It's a great different angle on a possibly over-discussed device! Here's some random responses - - The supplied cover has been associated - rightly or wrongly but I think probably rightly - with damage to the screen, which may get dragged on when the camera is pulled out. Personally I recommend the ScottyMakesStuff cases, which of course make the device a bit more chunky and more suited to the camera bag than the pocket. The "Pro" model which also accommodates the battery handle protects the gimbal to some degree even when filming as you can lay the camera down and the gimbal doesn't foul the surface (eg a table). Also, the added weight helps with stability when walking as the extra inertia reduces Z plane bobbing. - You rightly mentioned the problem with faces getting a bit dark when against the sky - another reviewer has shown how that doesn't happen with "normal" mode but seems to be a log issue. Maybe in normal mode there's some AI stuff going on to approach exposure in a more than simple way. That reviewer said he was ditching log shooting for normal with this device. Well, I guess it depends on all the circumstances of the shoot. - Histogram etc is available in the Mimo app. When you use the phone as a viewfinder of course there's more screen real estate for additional displays. - Obviously the gimbal mode chosen is a personal thing and dependent on the shot, but it's a shame it's not easy to change modes just like that. However, if using follow mode and there's a need for tilt locking for a few moments, pressing in the joystick and holding it applies a full lock (which is ok if you don't need to pan at that moment). And that allows you to re-align the handle to the direction in which the camera head is pointing, without recourse to the recenter function which will cause a sudden jerk in the picture. You can even use that full lock to walk right around the camera (anticlockwise) and into the picture, as if it was on a tripod. - For cycling it's worth mentioning that it's not a good idea to mount the camera to the bike. It doesn't like vibration. But here I am clearly talking to an expert! - The "audio backup" function which causes the camera to record the output from the excellent built in mics to a wave format audio file, while any external mic is recorded to the AAC audio of the video file, is worth mentioning. I mean, it's a four channel audio recorder which happens to shoot video too! - Good point about the flaring, which doesn't get much mention. - Chucking it in the bag when going out on a pro shoot with the "real" gear reminds me of the days when I used to do location sound recording of classical concerts for a living. I always chucked a simple stereo audio recorder with built in mics in the bag so that whatever failed, I could at least come away with something! Anyway, enough, I've written a novel again... Great video, thanks for posting!

obviously he meant a Pro version of the Pocket 3. 🤪

Yeah, it's a great little product, DJI really nailed it.

Thanks a lot, yeah, I'll try that soon. I didn't fully explore all the options to be honest. I tend to just use these things int he way that suits me and I would always just go for the d-log option first.

Thanks a lot Tommy, I really appreciate your comment. I think the photos are quite nice from the OP3 and it could be a very handy little device for you.

Yeah, you can use it in work scenarios for sure, I just wouldn't use it instead of the R5C / gimbal combo.

Just holding it. I'm sure there's loads of options out by now.

Thanks a lot. Honestly, I think if you just put the time into learning, it'll pay off and you'll get the hang of it.

Yeah, I agree. Most people will end up just using this in auto. You simply cant keep up with the exposure changes via the controls it offers and the screen is so small, it's hard to see. A little dial and an indicator on screen to show blown highlights or under exposed shadows would be great.

My point exactly. You could use the X5 in RAW on the OG Omso handle 8 years ago!!! Thing about what they could do if they wanted? You don't need the z-axis of the Ronin, it could be a super compact, lightweight unit.

@@HuFilms I forgot to add, interchangeable lenses.

Most mirrorless cameras on a gimbal will get a better shot but you'll love this.

Unless you're on the court, it's not really the best option. But if you're in close to her as she hits the ball, it might work. maybe put a little thought into it.

Yeah, the ergonomics and size are a bit over 'consumer' in that it's a bit small and lighter than ideal for getting good shots.

For 4K 60fps D-Log it's around 8 hours for me on a 512GB card

Just search online. Will take you like 2 seconds to find

Yes it can 👍🏻

@@jordy188 Cheers mate 👍

Ha ha, I feel you with the shakes! This will be easier on the trapped nerves I have in my shoulder from heavy gimbal and lens work. You'll love it!

wow, that's interesting. No, I didn't yet.

@@HuFilms low cut cuts out low frequencies and for some stupid reason is enabled by default on the DJI mic. Turn it off and redo your tests and you will see a huge difference in sound quality.

For charging? Any usb adaptor will do.

The Ronin 4D isn't a 'pro Osmo'. If it was a pro Osmo they'd call it the 'Osmo Pro' not a Ronin 4D. You don't hold a Ronin 4D as a vlogging tool and point it at yourself holding it with one hand which is essentially what an Osmo is designed for. A 1500 bucks version of this that was waterproof, has better dynamic range, is easier to expose manually, has an adjustable focal length and maybe better 120 fps, would sell like hot cakes in my opinion. I'd be the first to buy it. Thanks for the comment though.

Is the Ronin 4D a pocket vlogging camera? Jeez, I didn't know that.

I know what you're saying but when I refer to biking, I mean hand holding it. I think it'll be better than the action cams for this. Mounting on the bars, yeah sure, it's gonna shake like hell.

Seriously, you add a great feature and then people say, "but it can't do 8K for 2 hour cinematic movie recordings".

It is! Lol. It's a big red button lol

@@expat5587 nobody said about it before. can you rec short video about this function?

It only takes me about 3 minutes to get up and running with a gimbal. On most 'work' jobs, that time is minuscule in comparison to other factors such as planning shots and adjusting items in the composition. Of course the osmo is going to be way more convenient, that's why it's a seller but if you want the best possible shots, a few minutes to setup isn't a big deal. Not for me anway.

@@HuFilms even traveling and allowing for more packing space for the gimbal and camera gear is a hassle. I don’t do photography or videography for work but my gimbal sits at home. If I were like you and getting specifically paid for work it would be a different story. The gimbal camera setup is now dead for non-professionals for travel videography.

You don't get it, do you? I'm referring to the large amount of really strong filters in the box, whilst the weakest filters here are 4 and 8 stops. The sun does shine in Ireland by the way, same ol' sun that shines all over mother earth. Good luck using your ND 1000 to get your perfect shutter speed.

Cool, thanks. I’m gonna get one.

Thanks a lot, I might do this in another video so keep an eye out on the channel.

Good points though I wouldn't be doing this myself.

DJI is Hasselblad, they literally just put that name on stuff now 'cos they can.

Keep tryin'

Yeah, there's a big gap between this and the Ronin 4d. Something in the 2-3k price range would be great. That could essentially replace your cam + gimbal setup.

Ha ha, are you being sarcastic? force, I'm just too strong!

I don't think you understand what I'm talking about.

@@HuFilms No, I think it's you who doesn't understand the positioning principles of this device, misleading your subscribers.

@@exclamo The title says honest review after 2 months. And cycling is not an extreme condition, mountain biking is. Stop being a DK!
