What do you think of the Pocket 3? Does it earn a space in your kit?

I got it on launch day and still watch YT videos on it daily. The quality of vids is dropping quickly but this is so well done and you are delightful. You've got my sub!

I can fit everything in the soft case.. including the pocket 3 in the hard shell... I keep hearing that it doesnt fit but it definitely does, its a tight fit but it works just fine.

Thanks for sharing this video with us, its helped me decide to give it a try, I’ve been trying to make my mind up for ages 👍🥰 Take Care & have a lovely Christmas 🤩x

the best thing that DJI could ever do for the Osmo 3 is to put a Red Recording Frame around the display screen. I wish they could do this with my DJI Drone controller/display screen too while I'm filming.

Awesome video. I just ordered one can't wait to start using it on my KZfaq channel. Really appreciate your candid and honest review. And I'm subscribing. Always fun to follow another camera nerd. :)

Gracias, con tus reseñas siempre encuentro los escenarios donde quiero usar las cámaras. Lugares oscuros, muchas personas en movimiento, mucha variedad... gracias.

Fantastic, relatable review. Thank you!

Awesome vid. Great info. Beautiful shots. Have an awesome Christmas. Chur, Cam from NZ :)

Thank You so Much for This Upload - Ive just getting into doing Videos instead of Photos and this camera is Brilliant - Ive only had it about 2 weeks but what I have taken has been Wonderful - So Thanks again

I've ordered this and it's supposed to be delivered today. Very excited to try vlogging with this camera and hopefully better than using my G9! Keep your vlogs coming!

I’m so tempted by this little package. Thanks for your informative review Emily. Merry Christmas 🤶

Awesome review. Super informative

I would love one but I recently bought a DJI Osmo Action 4 which I need to get to grips with, and I would like the Insta360 X3 before a Pocket 3. I love your unbiased view Emily as I get tired of shills & fanboys telling me how wonderful product A happens to be and 6 months later it's product B and how yesterday product A is, so I thank you for that. Keep up the fabulous work.

Great review. I did the same thing. I put it in the hard case, then tried to put it in the soft pouch and it was a struggle trying to put it in. So had to find it a new home. All they had to do was give us 1-2 more inches of room for that pouch.

Beautifully made video ❤

Thanks for your review

Awesome video and information!

Great video! I never vlogged before having this camera and now I’m feeling I’m going to more on location reviewing like you have done here. It really is liberating!

That footage looks pretty incredible!

Morning and Merry Christmas. I used to own the Panasonic Lumix G9 but my boss bought me a Canon R5 so I sold my G9. The Canon is amazing but very heavy when your lumping it and lenses around doing landscape all day. I'm seriously considering selling it and going back to the Panasonic system. What do you think, what would you do. Many thanks

got it, love it, (combo with microphone) used to ponder on the older ones but my phone with a gimbal got better quality than those. still learning not shot anything more than test footage but will certainly be finding it a place in my go-bag for everyday carry

Good insights! Regarding the issue of composing with the little screen; you likely know this, but with the DJI Mimo app, the live Pocket 3 camera feed can playback on your iphone (and possibly ipad, i haven't tired) and framing is much easier than on the tiny screen.

Thanks for the honest review. I think you've swayed me to join the P3 club!

Great video 😊 thank you

Loved your video!

Spot on, very good presentation

Great review! Lovely photos! It’s almost impossible to find this thing in stock. I’m considering just getting the basic camera itself and then adding things in to make the creator kit the hard way. Do you think that’s a bad idea? I feel like it’s easier to get just the cameras basic kit in stock then add in the extra stuff that is in the creator kit, but maybe things will change in a few weeks or a month or so. I’m saving up for it. I can’t wait. Happy to have found your channel.

Great video, nice job 👍🏼

I have had it since release day , I had the P2 and the tiny screen drove me crazy. I also have the Action 4 and the two make a pretty powerful but small and light combo . BTW the mic2 from the P3 now works on the Action 4 (their latest firmware update) .

You are adorable and authentic. Subscribed. Looking forward for more content!😊

Good review and a lot of thought provoking information. I think it is a great device and in the right pair off hands a fantastic addition to the kit bag. (In fact who needs a kit bag?)

Great review. Very informative 👍👍. Do you have any issues with the focus jumping? I saw a video that a guy was panning, and the focus jumped to something in the background. It would do it so suddenly that it would mess up the shot.

Had this since launch and love it, awesome camera, I agree the screen is laggy and you end up swiping alot especially on the right hand side, hopefully they can improve this with firmware. Wish it had more buttons that you could assign. The hard case is good but it's tricky to get it in and out bang on everytime. I wish there was maybe a cover that just slid over the top. I wish you could rename the presets via the mimo app so you could see more what they were or you could call them something you understand. I see Gopro just added this via the app so I am sure DJI can do the same. The Mic2 is amazing and so easy to use. I think they could have a pro version of this which would be a little bigger but have the 3 lenses on it like the drones do. I know it wouldn't be a pocket anymore but I am ok with that. Be great to have a zoom and wide and maybe built in ND, I know I am asking alot now!

First gotta say your colours at the start look so great ((s5ii I bet)! As for the ‘bloomin’ OP3 it seems like a great camera for vlogging style work. I used last week for a friend and found it worked very well (!) for video but did find ‘holding a stick’ to record just seemed weird…and do prefer an action camera style…but that is likely a reflection of me being old. Even as a ‘camera’for photos on social media it’s fine (I think photos are 9MP). Screen may not seem so sluggish if you haven’t yet had a morning coffee 😊

I was waiting for the pocket 3 before launching my second KZfaq channel. As a photographer you can take this and your camera and be super small. A few years of photography summers in Japan have made me want to be as simple as possible.

As aYT viewer watching on a phone or TV, this video is more than good enough. The stabilisation is excellent 👍

Thanks Em, helpful as always. I have an E-PL1 and also a Lumix G7 that I use for photography. I took them on a trip last week and this time tried to shoot some video on the Lumix and man I got such crappy footage! What with the framerate 24fps for cinematic and shutter speed and aperture and all those settings I did not get any good footage. I guess I need to learn more, but I think this looks like a great option for idiot-proof filmmaking

What a great review!

I really like your color grading on the Pocket 3 footage! Is it just basic exposure contrast adjustments, or did you also apply a lut to it?

I just got it and LOVE it!

Menu, what's better and what can be changed for the better ! The DSLR days are fading away ! Will the pocket 4 have the full frame sensor with the new lens ? Raw footage ? Into Final Cut since Apple is calling shots in the film industry ! The formats are changing and easy of use is key to success !

Funny you mentioned a larger sensor version. They've kinda been there with the DJI Osmo Pro which was a M43 version.....but you had to use your phone as the monitor. If I remember right it also shot RAW video.

what about using it for walking and biking videos? i know is a little frigile but what about the stabilization and peculiarity on using the pocket 3 for that type of video? thanks in case you will reply :)

Great video! Just a note, I fit the hard shell and everything (!) else in the case just fine. You just need to figure how how exactly, but once you do, it's perfect!

Really torn between this camera and sony zv e1! Please make a comparison video! You are blummin awesome..

New here. Love your studio set up. Beautiful colors

Appreciate the video! Like you said, there are a TON of reviews videos and you have to wonder about the integrity of the video when they got the camera for free. So your video is refreshing, though sorry you had spend your own real money on it. I picked one up as well, and did so for many of the same reasons you did. I hate big rigs with gimbal, camera and protruding mic out and about, especially when on holiday. This is small, discreet, and non-combative to use. I'm still learning how to use it better. Also glad someone finally mentioned how the case which at first seems nice, to the frustration that you can't store the Pocket 3 in the fitted hard case in with all the accessories (that came supplied in the Creative Combo Kit...how did they miss that?!?! Anyhow, thank you! Great Content!

The footage from the Pocket 3 looks lush Emily ( or maybe it's just you 🙂). I've already sold my Pocket 1 so I can replace it with a 3 for an upcoming trip to Antarctica.Which LUT did you use for grading? Best wishes 👍.

Big shoutout to @MicroFourNerds for laying it all out in the real-world review of the DJI Pocket 3! 🌍📸 Your 'love and hate' relationship with it mirrors my feelings about Monday mornings - a rollercoaster of emotions! 😅 Thanks for keeping it real and making us laugh along the way! 🌟😄 #RealTalkMagic #MicroFourLaughs

I hate the hard case. I think its only a matter of time before i do some slight damage to the screen. Love the 240 fps. Dropping ice or sugar cubes in liquid. And ive noticed the audio syncing is slightly out. Apart from that Love it 🇬🇧

The hard shell does fit, you just have to organise your case a specific way.

Congratulations on your Seahawks last minute win. Very exciting! The DJI pocket 3 looks like a very capable video machine. As of now I don’t have the need for this camera. I only do 15-30” video clips. My M43 bodies are adequate for this task. For me, right now, not the machine for me. Yesterday I walked into one of the local camera stores. Asked if they had a GX8 and despite not being listed on the website they had one. It wasn’t in the showcase. The GX8 was hiding in the back room. The camera came with the charger. Took it home and now trying it out. This is all your fault. No more new cameras this year. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

i got one and for me it is definitely worth it

Can you use a cell phone monitor connected to it like with the pocket 2?

Yeah, I want one. My original pocket 1 is a bit tired now and the screen on the older ones is a right pain to use.

Oh: try the hard case in the soft case again. This had me foxed for a short while but it does fit, but not every way around. Also, the soft case just needs loosening up a little. Works fine for me now.

I love your videos color. Ple tell me what mode you shout d log or normal? And which is you apply? Thx.

Hey, I loved your review. You can fix your first annoyance by using the LED light above the joystick. It's solid green when paused and blinks red when recording.

It seems ideal! Nice and small too to just stick into a little pocket in the camera bag! - a nice real world review!! Is there a mic in for an external mic?

G95 owner and combination video/stills shooter, frequent traveler, not a vlogger/TikToker, just a family guy who likes to document vacations and daily moments. I really like the video from my G95, and even my phone, but video is a battery life killer on my G95, especially 4k, and I often find myself having to swap from my 12-60mm or 14-140mm to 9mm for video, which is a hassle, so I end up shooting a lot less video on it that I'd like. A couple years back I added an Insta 360 x3 and enjoyed it quite a bit but the video quality is subpar and battery life is not very good even if the 360 effects are cool, and it's not really as compact/pocketable as I'd like with the handle attached. The Osmo Pocket 3 - or even Pocket 2 - looks like it might fit much better especially from a video quality perspective. The other potentially interesting camera to me is the Insta Ace Pro, for many of the same reasons. So even if you're not a vlogger/TikToker/KZfaqr, I think these cameras fill a very useful and interesting niche.

I think it's the future. As good for left-handed people as right-handed. A display that works outside - unlike every other camera! MFT version please 😊

What camera did you use to film at the beginning? It looks INCREDIBLE I’m guessing lighting is a big part of your look/ grading but wanna share your secret??! Keep up the good work!!

4:03 I got mine and I'm able to fit everything in the soft case with no problem

Actually the camera fits inside the softshell with the case on but it’s important that the case faces outwards! Otherwise it doesn’t work!☺️

Soooo tempted to get this. I have a ZV-1 for the small everyday carry, but the pocket looks like it'd blow it out of the water... Unfortunately my wife just got used to the ZV when filming our kids' play the other day and I don't want to explain to her why it's gone 😂😂

What camera and lens are you using in the beginning of the video?

Great review. I already own a Galaxy s23 ultra and a 'real' camera. I love this device, but do I really need it? I am tempted but I am not sure

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels uncomfortable to vlog in public. I did do it with the G9II just to test it, but felt awkward in a crowd. DJI seems so discreet.

What mist filter can you buy seperately that you would recommend?

Yep, i got one.

Also can you put it on a tripod to use at home?

i have it and love it - only problem is the 20 mm lens..24 mm would be better looking, its too wide angled for me

Thanks for the review. I think I’m sold on the camera now. Imagine if they made this with a m43 sensor 😮.

👋 Did you use ND filters while shooting this footage? Do you think it's worth getting a set for this camera? Love your content by the way, I'm located in Colombia and have been watching your videos for the past two years!

does follow focus work only in selfie mode?

11:16 DJI used to sell a MFT thing like this. The X5 I think.

Just a quick note: the protective cover DOES fit in the carrying bag with just a little push! Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Es el futuro, la versiòn Full frame o el pocket 4 con 2-3 lentes como un celular .. Seguro vendràn con la versiòn proxìma ... Lo q tenemos ahora es muy bueno, saludos..

I wonder why you and other creators say the camera with the hard shell protector doesn’t fit into the soft case-mine fits just fine?

where did you buy the mist filter?

Are you using Final Cut Pro ?

OK--you've talked me into buying one. DJI should spon you!

that camera you have strapped on your bag looks doooope

What would be the reason to not just vlog on iPhone instead? I really want to buy DJI, but this is the question I am asking myself.

can you drop footage to an ipad using Wifi?

How many hours of footage can the Pocket 3 record to a 512 GB memory card in 4k? Even if the files are all split into 16 GB chunks?

My DJ Pocket are my gm1 and gm5 cams.😊

I've used it 2 times for vlogging and so far, I've had a great time learning how to use it. But I still can't figure out how to vlog while walking in a way where the footage doesn't end up looking like a bounce everywhere instead of walking. Hoping to figure that out soon. 😅

So.... The question is how this compare with a M4/3 sensor like the G100... Maybe in a next video...Please... Merry Christmas

Mist Filter got me 😮😮😮😂

How did you get the mist filter when you are not a DJI sponsored reviewer?

How was your experience with battery life?

As a micro four thirds channel, you should have gotten the og DJI osmo with the Zenmuse X5 some time ago. Theres at least your mft version.

My only gripe with the Pocket 3 has nothing to do with the camera itself, but rather with the case. It would be fantastic if there were a small cover specifically designed to protect only the gimbal. I don't mind scratches on the body, but even in the hard case, the lens always seems to move and is exposed to the elements.

I’m seriously consider this but I already have a pocket 2, trying to justify switching to this

well, with all the paid reviews, seeing your "hashtag not sponsored" review was refreshing. I was sceptical till now but not anymore.. I am going to buy it as soon as it is back in stock 🤦 ... yeah

The carrying case does fit the hard shell....

Actually DJI was release Osmo Pro (M43) long time ago just like pocket but not that smart.
