Picked one up after watching your first video. It’s such a fun camera to use. I got the camera by itself since I have the Rode Wireless Pro and ordered the battery attachment separately. Going to shoot a mini doc in San Diego next week and I’m planning using it for some BTS video.

I have this camera and there are a couple of things that you need to watch out for. If you use the camera along side another camera you need to understand that just because you have the camera in PRO mode and set to manual it may still be performing some automatic functions. ISO for example. You can set the camera to a 'range' of ISO like for example 50-100 or 100-400 etc. What this means is it will choose the best ISO within that range automatically therefore adjusting the brightness. I didn't realise it was doing this and when I went to match the two cameras, my DSLR and the Pocket 3, it took me a while to figure out what was going on. It was set by default that way. I sussed it in the end and just made sure I chose a single ISO that was set and didn't function within a range.

I think the combination of having the gimbal and the camera built-in to one little unit just makes so much sense for years we bought cameras and then we bought gimbal separately. I guarantee you go pro will copy this and I wish that they did as well. I used my GoPro for a lot of vlogging for a long time, but the issue I had was that the gimbal is quite big and cumbersome and just useless. To be honest. I'm looking forward to getting one of these as I'm getting into KZfaq eventually I'm actually a professional photographer and I do think that doing some KZfaq will help grow my Photography not looking at trying to get 100,000 subscribers. Not really caring about that at all but well done mate forgetting to 90 K that's awesome I stumbled across your channel. great video

There's a selfie stick that has a built-in battery charger (power bank), and I think you could even connect a power bank to the separate LAV microphone and just tuck it into your shirt. I would think that this method would extend your battery life for several hours more.

I recently won a mini 3 pro in a competition and fell in love with DJI, as I've next to none video making skills I wasn't getting much use out of it. So long story short I bought the osmo pocket 3 to get a better learning off the skill without the fear the off flying and it's blowing my socks off my footage still doesn't look professional but I'm slowing learning by watching every video known to man on KZfaq ❤ I'd recommend the osmo pocket 3 for beginners

I’m saving up for one to add to my arsenal of GoPro Hero 12 and Sony ZV1. Never used a gimbal before and I’m excited. Your pocket 3 footage looks really good!!! I’m seeing some worrisome stuff about focus issues in continuous mode. I would love your thoughts on that!

I'm a wedding videographer and been contemplating vlogging family holidays, but I tell you what ... Micro Four Thirds (my panasonic G9) + the tiny lenses that come on that system ( i usually just take my 14-140mm) is my perfect set up for holidays. Come home, edit the raw images with a simple LUT and then send them off to photobox for a layflat album and then I have something tangible to look through over the years. I just don't like video personally unless i'm being paid to film a wedding. For personal stuff I prefer photos.

@SergSpace 3 ай бұрын

4:52 Battery draws down like crazy in my opinion. Spare battery pack, that comes with Combo Creator throwing charge into built in battery only about 60%, then it's depleted. I got additionally Smatree Portable power bank with 5000mAh (vs Pocket 3 battery handle 950mAh). That one helps to survive through, lets say, the whole day in Disneyland, filming parade, fireworks, other shows and walking arounds. But with built-in battery- No WAY, especially if you filming in 4k.

Hi, how long does the battery last when shooting a clip 4K 60 fps thanks

@ProtoMarcus 4 ай бұрын

Did you use manual exposure? I notice some "jumpiness" and lack of motion blur in movement and motion usually seen with inadequate shutter speed 😅 Once I switched to manual exposure that "jumpiness" was gone and natural motion blur was back (1/60 shutter speed when recording in 4K30) Also you can definitely use the camera as it is charging from a power bank (or the battery handle) - it also has fast charging: 0 to 80% in 16 minutes! It is not the "perfect camera" but it isn't trying to be either - but the features it offers make it a SUPERB vlogging and travel camera Thanks for your overview!

@Ozpeter 5 ай бұрын

The ideal camera doesn't get between you and the experience. That is one way the Pocket 3 can score. Easy to get good results, low profile, can act as your very own cameraperson. Fragility - check out the ScottyMakesStuff cases. Zoom - don't use it. You would get the same results in editing, as the sensor hasn't got the spare pixels that the Pocket 2 had. Battery - the battery handle gives you real hot swap capability, mid shot, and few cameras have that ability with their internally mounted batteries.

It's cheaper, but what is your goal? If you want to start recording 4k video with turning flip screen, have good low-light performance and sound recording (including Stereo), control motion blur, have wireless mic with remote control, get a face tracking, keep thing portable - that would be the Pocket 3 if you like to spend more time for setup your phone on gimbal and not to have Pocket 3 features, then go for gimbal. I have 5d Mark IV and setting up Weebill -S is a really hitting my nerve eventually.
