I stick with the pocket 3, because of it's amazing image quality. For any other stuff I can't do with it (like using in the rain and so on), I have the insta360 X3, an amazing camera too, because one don't have to take care where the camera is pointing at.

that's the combo for sure, same D-Log M for uniform color grading, same user interface, etc. it doesn't make sense to pair the Ace Pro with the Pocket 3, when I'd argue it is worse across the board from the Action 4 *except* in low light... when the Pocket 3 already is the best in low light of all them.

@itsmattyboom 3 ай бұрын

I have the DJI pocket 2. I LOVED it when I first got it. But I definitely agree with you on the practicality of turning the thing on and off and waiting for the gimbal to do it's thing. And you always have to put it back in the case before you put it in your pocket. It's a small thing, but amplified by doing that 10-20 times when filming a typical vlog makes it tedious. I also really dislike the triple click you have to do to get the gimbal to spin around and face you and then triple click again, to get it to face outward. It's muuuuuuch easier to just physically turn a handheld camera in the direction you want to shoot, with a flick of the wrist than fumble with triple clicking. I've been shooting with it over a year and I still double click instead of triple at least 3 or 4 times every shoot. And then have to edit myself out when I'm swearing at the camera. 🤣 I originally got the pocket 2 because I had a insta360 X2 that I used in normal mode (non-360) for vlogging. It was fine during the day but the lowlight footage was HORRENDOUS, there was this god-awful wiggle in all the footage, and it was way too dark. It looks like from the shots of running with your daughter, that the bigger sensor and AI chip sorted that out. Would you agree? I think this camera on a really small handle (like 6 inches or so) would be a perfect vlogging set up. Not so big as to freak people out when you interact with them, like a physical gimbal with a giant iphone dangling off of the top of it does, but also not this tiny little cube that you can't quite get a good grip on.

Which would you suggest for things like DIY/woodworking content? Semi-vlogging but more looking to highlight building something and needing quick point-and-shoot set-ups? I like the mini-cinema camera aspect of the DJI 3, but if I was ever on-site or in a bit more rugged environment, I'd fear breaking it. Torn between these two!

@JimiCeleste 5 ай бұрын

Great video, Phillip. I also like Free Frame Video for vlogging, so you can use your video in portrait and then reedit for KZfaq in landscape. I do a lot of my vlogging with the Insta 360 X3. I use my DJI mic for audio. There's a company in Hawaii who makes a great cage for the DJI mic and the Insta 360 X3 called, XMount 360. I like the DJI Osmo 3 for vlogging when I have the camera set up on a tripod and I want to walk around and have it follow me. but the AcePro is a lot better for walking and talking, so you can change the aspect ration. The wide angle lens for the Oslo is crap. Neewer makes some good ND filters for the Pocket 3. There are only six of them, but I think Freewells 16 filters is overkill and the goo thing about the Neewer filters is they are small and you don't have to take them off when you turn off the camera. Anyway . . . thanks again for your content. I really love your channel and I am learning a lot!

The X3 is great, I love that camera, it does such a good job. Makes me wonder what GoPro will do with the Max 2.0, that should be fun too! The Wide angle lens for the Pocket 3 sucks, it's big and it has too much distortion for my liking after using it quite a bit. As for the Ace Pro, I mainly use that in de-warp and feel best in that lens setup. All in all, great cameras for very different uses. Thank You!

This is a good video going over pros and cons with things I haven't thought about. I am still choosing the DJI Pocket 3 though as I like the tracking, and the film quality a little better. I think that for a solo creator it allows you to get more angles and dynamic framing that you just can't get with a typical action camera.

@PhillipSkraba 4 ай бұрын

If you’re a solo creator the Pocket 3 is an excellent choice, if you’re mainly vlogging the Ace Pro is the best choice.

If I had to pick something up for documenting and vlogging, I'd go with the Ace Pro. If I had to pick something up for filmmaking I'd go with the Pocket 3. If I wanted it for sports with a super wide angle, the Action 4. That's how I see it.

It's a fair comparison. I'm opting for the Pocket 3 when I travel to India next month, having previous expenience with the original Osmo and the first Pocket (which I hated). The bokeh effect that you mention would I imagine only bother a few people, if you're in the middle of the frame addressing the viewer, the last thing anyone wants is a distracting busy background. Might pick up a Ace pro for use during Holi festival..I can't imagine all that powder doing the Pocket any good :)

@clevern3rd102 Күн бұрын

Point 1: You can just flip the camera around and the whole scene will be in focus. Unless you absolutely have to be in the shot if you were specifically talking about the building. Point 2: Is personal preference, not a limitation of the DOP3 Point 3: They make covers for it that allows you to protect it while using it in the rain. Do you have to buy an accessory, sure, but it's not a deal breaker. But this is also going to be dependent on if you definitely need to shoot under water. Point 4: Comparing a non action cam to an action cam for an action shot, is definitely not a one to one comparison, but if anything, it shows how well the non action cam held up against a camera specifically made for action shots... Point 5: I give that to the Ace Pro Point 6: Don't most vloggers edit their videos regardless. Most also play with color grading even at a basic level. I understand the ability to not need to, but realistically unless you only do straight uploads immediately, I think this is a niche gripe. Point 7: DOP3 hands down. Whatever drifting you mentioned was barely visible, if visible at all. Point 8: Using a DJI mic with the DJI camera, perfect sound. DJI mic with a non DJI camera, sound quality not up to par. Point 9: Form factor is subjective. Point 10: I don't understand the trend of loving fish eye viewing angles, but that's also subjective. When I watch vloggers, I'd prefer a normal field of view. The zoom in on the Ace Pro had some artifacts when it moved, while the DOP3 stayed nice and smooth. Point 11: I have a feeling whatever filter you had on, is more than likely customizable through the app. Can you confirm if that's available to be sure? Point 12: You didn't make a point here. You confirmed there's an additional battery for the DOP3, so you can independently charge that battery and the DOP3...which is the same as having a battery in the Ace Pro charging in the camera, while also separately charging additional batteries in a charger. Outro: Rehashing the point that the Ace Pro can upload direct to the internet is again a niche requirement for some. Good comparison either way, but I think some of the items were a bit biased. I'm sure because I was defending the DOP3, I also sound biased, but I was just adding color to the points you were making. Cheers!

I’ve been debating jumping from using my smartphone to either the action 4 or 360 pro ace. I’ve read that these type of cameras use large files that would take up too much memory on a smartphone. Ideally I’d like to load to my smartphone then upload to social media rather than having to wait until I have access to a computer. Would that be possible? My phone has over 100gb free storage at the moment. I prefer using my phone for convenience but the issue of running the battery down while filming is why I’m looking towards purchasing a camera. I’ve ruled out the pocket 3 as, like you say, I want something that Id be happy with my children using. Any advice would be appreciated. Oh the DJI action 4 is much cheaper than a the ace pro but I really want the camera that’s easiest to use, so is there really much difference between the two in terms of ease of use? Thanks

“Which one will I let me kid play with” is such a huge influencing factor for me - I would 100% be stressed out with the osmo when my kid inevitably asks to have a go, because I’m always filming, I do like to let them play too and to also get my kids POV shots too

Got a request and some questions if you wouldn't mind answering: Would you mind doing a yt short or something with the Ace Pro on 8k flat and low sharpness since I haven't really seen anyone use 8k for vlogging (Seen some 8k landscape vids and I think they look real nice). Can you edit the 8k footage and export it as 8k or only 4k on the tablet via the insta app? And lastly would I be able to use only the DJI Mic 2 receiver and record internally and then sync the audio to the video or does the DJI Mic force you to have either a transmitter or have it connected via bluetooth? Sorry for the long post and have a nice day!

@PhillipSkraba 4 ай бұрын

Well, the 8K is really just an extra on this camera. It's meant for low contrast situations, and with stabe turned on there is a fair bit of lag, so I wouldn't recommend it for vlogging, 4K is more than enough. The DJI Mic 2 will record onto the Ace Pro audio, but at the moment the latest update does not allow sound to record, which is really odd. Hopefully that'll be fixed soon.

The DJI cameras are very good at battery life, and usually have full battery even after a couple of weeks. The worst culprit is GoPro, I leave that for a couple of days and the battery is very close to 0%. As or usability, I agree, both cameras are superb, but I tend to use the Ace Pro much more as it's just so simple to use and I don't have to worry about it at all, and as I'm with my two small children a lot, that really makes a huge difference, as I quite often have to throw it in my pocket in a split second.

I am figuring Phil if your local town commissioned you to do come to our town tourist video on the cheap, you would be happy with the action pro, and get a reasonable result with a long selfie stick, so you are a little more distant and in focus and the back ground is crystal clear. by the way you do know i only watch your videos to see how that building is coming down lol.

Any help would be fantastic from you, maybe you could have a quick look at one of my videos to see what I do for KZfaq?

Hello. I want to record a video for more than an hour. Is it possible to continuously record the highest quality video with this device? I heard that this device can only record 45 minutes long video and start recording a new video every 45 minutes. Is it possible to pause during video recording and start recording again in the continuation of the previous video and continue?

The DJI pocket 3 is on a gimbal and that’s the whole point. It’s a one stop shop for accessibility for vide blogging. The ace pro isn’t. Plus, listen to the wind noise on the ace pro, it’s awful. That being said, the ace pro had better focus on objects in the distance. The Ace Pro should be compared to a Go Pro.

@PhillipSkraba 4 ай бұрын

The fact most vloggers prefer all around sharpness, the Pocket 3 drops out instantly. The image on the Pocket 3 is great but as a run and gun camera it’s way too delicate to film with. It’s much better as a creators camera, whereas the Ace Pro does great as a vloggers camera but has too wide a view for a creators camera.

New Feature Requests for the DJI OSMO Pocket 3 1. Add a dwelling time for each of up to four settable movement positions in Motion Time-Lapse Mode. As each of the four settable positions programmed into a motion time-lapse sequence is reached, the end user could set from 1 to 10 seconds of a pause in gimbal movement as each programmed position is reached during the sequence before the gimbal moves forward to the next programmed position. This would yield a much more dynamic and professional looking, smoother motion time-lapse sequence. 2. In Motion Time-Lapse Mode the ability to set movement ease in and ease out settings from 0.5 to 3 seconds for each programmable gimbal position before gimbal movement normal progression rate is reached. 3. True 24.00p filming speed. 4. The ability to set time-lapse sequences based on 24.00p. 5. The ability to be able to record from the DJI Mic 2 and from a plugged in via USB audio source at the same time. 6. Adding a 10 Bit 4:2:2 recordable video codec. 7. Please add zoom capability when shooting in all time-lapse modes.

I will take the extra time to refine my footage in 10b Log than take this messy, over-sharpened footage from the ace with far less color and dynamic range.

@Phillip, I interpreted this video you were sharing the following use cases: - vlogging with convenience/ease of use/durability, AP is the way to go; - best IQ and those who want more controls in post (have the skills, don’t mind and know post workflow, and take time to ensure best IQ), then P3 is the way to go I’m not sure why people want to challenge or question this. It’s simply your POV and on balance, it’s correct. I have all of them. GP12 just because I’ve used them since GP7 and I don’t mind giving to my small kids to use in water and on travels. A4 because it has more DR and pleasing colors than GP12 if I pixel peep which I do. P3 for travel and studio as I don’t always want to bring my FF mirrorless setups. And AP, just got it just because I like new tech and what Insta360 is doing, not afraid to leapfrog competition. I think if we take a step back, it’s not GP vs DJI vs Insta360 but these cameras need to widen their uses cases, otherwise smartphones will eat their lunches as it will eat FF cameras because as daily drivers, you have your smartphones and prioritize convenience over the rest (at least for me), but if you’re a pro and do this for a living, then the needs are very different. Anyhow, ranting. Good video and @11:46, you had me laughing with the lipstick. Need to stay away as I think it looks way better on your daughter. Keep the non-AI look, like it much better! 😂

haha, the non-a.i. look is the way I like to go! I think the main visual downside to the Pocket 3 is that the background has bokeh, and the majority of vloggers want the background to be sharp, whereas the majority of filmmakers want the background to be blurred. It's a simple point of view but makes a huge difference. Both fantastic cameras, but very different.

A few solutions I can think of #1 If you want to show people the building behind you, get out of the way. #2 Moving parts isn't a big of a deal as you make it out to be. #3 Waterproof is probably a legit concern for some. Still an edge case though for most I would say. #4 low light - you're running, and talking about drifting (which is basically a gimbal doing its job and making the pan smooth. Is this because the Osmo Pocket looks significantly better, so you don't want to talk about it? Stopped watching after this, seems like a trashy bias comparison.

Nah, not really, it’s a real life experience comparison whilst vlogging and running and gunning. I use both a lot, and especially when I have little time so really rushing.

@@PhillipSkraba So remind me again, what was your conclusion on low light performance? There was none. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 image was in another league compared to the Insta360 Ace Pro, but I didn't hear you give any props to it. You went on to talk about stabilisation, and the camera drifting (all gimbals do this to smooth out panning so it's not so jarring, it's the gimbals job to smooth things out right?). Asking the audience which they prefer, mechanical or AI. Obviously you like the Insta360, there's nothing wrong with that. I just have a big problem with douchetubers dragging down other products because it's not the one that they like, and don't give credit where it's due. For eg. #1 The DJI Pocket 3 has bokeh because it has a 20mm F2.0 lens and a 1" sensor, and you tried turning that in to a negative. This is a big plus in so many ways, almost every way. The Insta360 is a 16mm F2.6 1/1.3" sensor, and it shows. It looks like footage you get from your iPhone. Bring some integrity to your channel and be fair to products, give them credit for things they do right.
