Hi Jason. I've been waiting for your review since this camera came out because back in a days your videos encouraged me to buy Osmo Pocket 1. So again, thanks Jason👍

I really enjoyed the comparison with the previous two models. Thank you.

Pocket 1: super sharp and actually fits in pocket. Active track works. Best with Controller Wheel. Pocket 2: Not as sharp but wider and actually fits in pocket. Active track not working CPU is too weak. Best with Controller Wheel. Pocket 3: Bigger like a camcorder. Needs much more care. Pixels are finally that size what video camera needs. Active Track works and HEVC. Tilting while panning not working at the same time like P1/P2 it works. Plastic feels more paper. Mic and battery handle are great. 16gb file size. Float audio mic2. They actually cant compare each other. They are all good in this class of gear. Actually Pocket 2 also has base without thread! That thread base is accessory. As usual don't care 120fps 422 12k 1600mbps luts logs actually what matters is audio, story, lighting and the less DOF the better. Useless to watch blur. Anyway these are great for family cameras as they are meant to be. Image quality is far more than enough for that use. I use them all. I actually came to this channel years ago because of Pocket 1. Thats why I found this channel. Great you compared all these 3 cameras. They just copied Action 4 software to Pocket 3. I have both and the UI is like the same. Its great it works. It was actually great they added MIC 2 support for Action 4 as well. Wireless audio works great same mic.

Danny in the House! Glad to see you guys work together.

Just got mine today… always considered these more of a toy then something to utilize for what I do, real estate. But for that I think this will be phenomenal. Wish this came out a year ago lol

Def planning on picking up one of these, would love it even more if it was a bit more rugged with weather sealing. That being said, I think it's a great run & gun portable solution for vlogging, IG Stories & Reels, YT Shorts, etc.

thank you for this review!

Just ordered a refurbished Pocket 1 to see how it goes. I plan to Vlog my classic truck rebuild and needed something cheap and to the point. Thanks for the detailed review and comparison!

Got it, love it even more with the mist vnd filters from freewell🙏🏼🙏🏼

Finally great to see the next videos 😁

Thank you, great video as usual I admit I watched your pocket 1 video also brought me to the channel as other have said, although am a Sony user primarily...although I bought the pocket 3 a few months ago as an upgrade and for the purpose I need it is suitable, its genuinely better in low light and the easy integration with 'lightcut' is fab, a great tool to go hand in hand with my other cameras, fab for blogging for simplicity with the mic, but has its negatives also I admit. Keep the reviews coming, spot on!

Welcome to the party. Better late than never! Great review. Love this little bad ass camera on a tiny gimbal!

I'm 90% on purchasing a Pocket 3 for me. I have a ZV-E10 and an A6000 I sometimes take to the gym with me to record some stuff, but usually i take my Insta360 to record, because it's much easier to take it to places due to it being a much smaller setup and i can alse record POV while I'm biking. The insta360 one RS image quality is decent, but the Pocket 3 seems like a big upgrade.

I have the Osmo Pocket 1. Amazing image quality... and used it about 10 times in 5 years.

That lean on the Pocket 1 when you were running alongside your daughter, is the accelerometer getting confused. I stuck my Pocket 1 to the window of a plane when going on holidays last year and as soon as we started the take off roll there was a pronounced lean. it leaned the other way when we landed. It's good to see the 3 seems to have overcome that.

The Pocket 3 is probably the best thing to come out of the media lineup since camcorders. The Pocket 1 and 2 were great alternatives to smartphones but the Pocket 3 completely became a great tool and even a video cam replacement. It's actually quite nice to have a recording device that doesn't have notifications interrupt you every time you want to record something. Pretty great tech. Maybe Pocket 4 they can add zoom on it too since the main FOV is wide enough.

im planning to buy pocket 3 to replace my gimbal shots for wedding venue, as some wedding venue i go require me travel light. Do you think is a good idea to invest on this jason? Im just a little worry bout the 4k image quality is gonna be like go pro hero 10..

hey thanks again for inviting to join in on this one… this camera is going to be hard to beat (until pocket pro, but that’s a guess 🤷)

Hi. Thank you for this video. But I am sure which product is suitable for me. I'm still looking for a good product for my travel vlogs that is not too high priced. What would you recommend?

Hi Jason, at the 10:10 mark, i noticed you were wearing airpods. Might I ask if it was because you can use that to monitor the audio of the pocket 3 as you record ? If so, can share how was it done? Thanks!

Decided on a whim to get one of these. Had no idea what was going to use it for haha. Turns out it’s really cool for behind the scenes footage and test footage 👌

Thank you for the video. After watching this, i change my mind and gonna have pocket 3 🎉

Hmmm. Unless I missed it, I don't think you specified how the cameras were configured, at least in broad terms. In particular, when the little girl was cutely dancing around, the Pocket 3 footage looked somewhat dull, underexposed, in comparison with the Pocket 1 - which is the opposite of expectation, as the Pocket 3 is generally said to over-expose a bit. Did you have the EV and / or sharpness dialled down? What colour mode were you using? Some are now suggesting, with persuasive examples, that the Normal mode is actually the best to use unless you are going to get deep into LUTS and stuff - with light behind a face, the normal mode seems to give best facial exposure for instance, possibly due to in camera AI-type processing which is not used in the more "Pro" modes. But Pocket 2 owners have often said that the Pocket 1 PQ is often better (possibly as you point out due to lens differences tricking the eye). (I noticed late in the video that there was a shot with the child running round, and then you appear in the picture with grey sky behind, and your face is hard to make out - I bet if that had been shot in normal mode, your face would have been nicely exposed without the sky blowing out). The tiny handle add-on had the merit of giving you something to hold comfortably - but if you have tiny hands or really want the smallest possible overall size, you can leave it off. Also, if you have the camera on a tripod, you can detach the camera instantly from the little handle, leaving the handle waiting on the tripod, if that's useful. You didn't mention the audio backup feature which turns the Pocket 3 into a four channel audio recorder, which happens to also do video. (Of course you couldn't mention everything unless you did a 2 hour + presentation!). DJI introduced USB-C audio functionality back in the days of the Action 2 camera. So basically you can connect any reasonable USB-C audio device (mic, mono or stereo, or playback headphone, with or without a 3.5mm to USB-C adapter as required) and that can be direct into the base of the camera, or via the tripod adapter, or into the USB-C socket on the battery handle if that's what you are using. You could generally say that if it works with a phone it will work with the Pocket 3. And if you turn on the audio backup feature, USB-C audio is recorded onto the video file in AAC format (in stereo if the input is stereo), and the three internal mics are recorded onto a wave format audio file in stereo, which you can then mix in editing. Even if you don't have an external mic in use, you can have the same internal mic audio recorded in both AAC and Wave formats, and for the best results (in theory) you can ditch the data-compressed AAC audio and use the data-uncompressed wave audio instead. I suspect this may be unique to the Pocket 3. Furthermore, if you use the Mic 2 with audio backup in use, you get Mic 2 audio in AAC and internal mic audio in the wave file - BUT due to a presumed bug, the internal mic audio is collapsed to mono, which is a great pity as it means you can't do the obvious thing of having ambient sound from the internals in stereo, mixed in editing with the mono output from the Mic 2 to make your voice clearer against the ambience. Weirdly, if you connect any other USB-C-friendly wireless mic system instead of the Mic 2, you don't hit this bug. Lastly, if you have any USB-C audio device connected to the battery handle, when the battery handle goes dead you will lose the audio from the USB-C source connected to it. You've then got to quickly unplug the battery handle, disconnect the mic from it, reconnect that to the Pocket 3, and carry on shooting. And that can be awkward or even impossible during event recording - eg a wedding. "Sorry folks, we lost the audio from the vows when the battery handle went dead..." Sorry for long comment but I'm a great believer in using KZfaq as a shared knowledgebase. A great video which actually inspires me to dig out my Pockets 1 & 2 to use alongside my Pocket 3 when appropriate! (And I can't help editing in a suggestion that you check out our Aussie "brother" ScottyMakesStuff cases for the Pocket 3, which might appeal to you in the context of professional use - there is some evidence that the supplied DJI case can cause damage to the screen when you remove the camera, so...)

May i know what are your thoughts on the mic? How does the pocket 1 deal with wind and background noise? and is there wireless mic for 1? Thanks!!!

I love my pocket 3 and the creator combo is a must!

This has replaced my A7IV for most of my content now. I've been looking forward to your review

0:00 🎥 This video compares DJI's Osmo Pocket 1, Pocket 2, and the new Osmo Pocket 3. 1:10 📊 Specs comparison: Pocket 3 features a larger 1-inch sensor, 4K at 120fps, 1080p at 240fps, and 10-bit codec. 2:01 📏 Form Factor: Pocket 3 is larger due to the 1-inch sensor, less pocketable compared to Pocket 1. 2:36 🎨 Bit Depth: Pocket 3 introduces 10-bit color, offering smoother transitions and richer colors. 3:20 🖼 Image Quality: Pocket 3 provides cleaner, sharper images compared to Pocket 1 and Pocket 2, especially noticeable in 4K footage. 6:25 📺 Screen: Pocket 3's 2-inch OLED screen offers better visibility and resolution compared to previous models. 8:34 🎯 Active Track 6.0: Pocket 3 introduces advanced tracking features, allowing for precise framing adjustments. 9:36 🎤 Audio: Pocket 3 includes DJI Mic 2 with 32-bit internal recording, providing audio recovery in case of clipping. 10:22 🔆 Low Light: Pocket 3's low light mode produces bright, clean images, outperforming Pocket 1 and Pocket 2. 11:10 🛠 Accessories: Pocket 3 lacks a quarter-inch mount but offers external battery options for extended use. 12:16 🌍 Demographic: Pocket 3 appeals not only to vloggers but also professionals seeking portable, high-quality video solutions.

I would only use this a few times to use the active tracking function for shooting car clips. Even though the Pocket 3 seems like a great device, the price is a little too much for my needs. Would it be a total waste of money for me to buy the Pocket 1? Based off the experience maybe other people have with this camera

Yo Jason, your DJI Osmo Pocket trilogy breakdown had me like a kid in a candy store! 🍭📸 First, I caved and got the Dji Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo - the new rockstar in town. Now, thanks to your review, I'm grabbing a second-hand Dji Osmo Pocket 1 for that 4K camera sidekick! 🕵‍♂🤘 Who knew cameras could be this addictive? Cheers for being the enabler, Jason! 🌟 #PocketCraze #DjiOsmoFiesta

I have all 3 of the pockets and was surprised that the pocket 1 was better than the pocket 2 in some of your tests. I have used the pocket 2 for a lot of my projects so when the 3 came out of course I knew I would have work for it. The bigger screen alone was cause. Pocket 1 and 2 the screen is so small you have to look very carefully to make sure you were getting the shot. I haven’t had much time to work with the 3 yet, however I will be interested to see how much better the face tracking works. On 1 and 2…. Meh. Usually the 2 would lose track if the sun was behind you. Additionally if you were in a higher frame rate than 30 or resolution 1080, it would lose track easier. So most of the time I would shoot without tracking and it follow mode. Works fairly well actually. Great video, always enjoy your stuff.

Pocket 3 or stay with iphone 15 Pro for run and gun vlogging?

I'm just starting to get into travel vlogging. I can get the Pocket 2 for about $214. Do you think the Pocket 3 is $300 better?

So besides all the cool features, I feel that we could also have talked about the price tag. They kinda doubled the price. I also really really don't get, why the camera can't flip for vertical, leaving you with a cropped image. It is almost the price of the mini 4, that you could also use in a kinda similar way + all the other features. I don't say it's bad or you shouldn't buy it, but rethink if it really is beneficial to you workflow and the way you want to experience a creative process.

DJI Osmo Pocket 1 is so tiny, that I really can say that this is the only fair "Pocket" camera

Well, I do have a birthday at the end of this month…….#55, coming……so I might as well buy the Pocket 3. Thanks for the great comparisons on all three Osmo Pockets, my man. 🍻👊🏾

Something I haven't seen anybody address is whether you need the pocket 3 to get 32 bit float on the DJI mic 2. Can you use the transmitter as a 32 bit device by itself or to get audio from any other device? If not it's not a great a value as it's being made out to be.

I saw the Coles sign and thought - thats weird - it must be downunder - thanks jason - still questioning do i need one due playing on S ultra and wifes iphone 12 too much.

So if I'm not getting the 3, get the 1? The 2 looks worse than both when it comes to image quality

still looking at getting the pocket 2 since i can get the more combo for $594 the pocket 3 combo is $1129 AUD what do you think of that price?

how to audio monitoring via pocket 3?any jack output?

osmo pocket 1 FTW

3:30 sais pocket 1 seems sharper in some situations when in fact it's sharper in all situations. still the benifit goes to pocket 3 . WTF?

I Like Pocket 1

Apart from the screen, you haven't shown me anything that worth upgrading from the one to the three. That's just my opinion though

First came to your channel due to the DJI pocket one. Im still using it .. latest model 3 sensor in particular is very tempting but im just not going to spend the money for the upgrade as i dont feel its so important that ill give uo the smaller size. This is not a main camera for me. The pocket one is still doing a great job for me. It's out of date compared to the 3 but still a good device

Pocket one still best 😂

Pocket 1 is still king!

1" sensor but still not have phase af

I using pocket one because I can use the self telescopic stick. I'm sure pocket two can use the stick as well But pocket three can not. Why ?

youtubers are praising this but dji made a stupid decision imo for not rotating the camera to portrait mode, instagram, tiktok, snapchat? Somebody should tell dji that there are a lot of those users and they want slomo and low light too

Does having this on the market make you worry about job security as someone in the world of cinema?

Jesus loves you

pocket 1 is the best it has warm colours and pocket 2 and 3 are ugly wideangles lenses now

but don't buy dji pocket if you are still filming or vloging with your iphone. dji's image quality could be better but they don't care about their customers, there are many problems from dji pocket 1 but they still don't fix it, like the gimble will tilt when recording in slowmo or lose tracking. The community has been asking for a patch to able to manual focus and locked focus for years, but they still don't care. the pocket 2 is dead . The same goes for pocket 3, there won't be any firmware updates in the future.

it was your osmo pocket 1 video that got me subscribed and eventually i bought it! still using it and dont see the need to change as it is still a very solid piece of equipment

Fantastic video - been waiting for a good comparison like this. I have the Pocket 1 (love it) and the Osmo Action 2 (love it too), so no real need for the Pocket 3. If I change my mind it’ll be AFTER that price comes down. 😳
