DJI Pocket 3 is better for low light due to the large 1' sensor. But Action 4 provides a larger sensor than the Action 3, and is waterproof and can safely use at the beach even with sand blowing around. Having both gives you better flexibility. I sold my Action 3 and will get the 4. But will keep my Pocket 2 and get the 3. Use for 4k walk videos. Action 4 also has swappable higher capacity batteries you get 3 of them with the Adventure Combo version. Pocket 2/3 no one knows you're recording cause its small. The Action 3 struggled in low light which is why I sold it.

I like everything about the Pocket 3 and compared to my Pocket 2 it's no brainer to get one. However, even though the Pocket has a bigger sensor, I like how the Action 4 holds well the hightlights and shadows. I know you can always set up to manual mode and use ND for the Pocket as well. Great job with these comparisons. Look forward seeing more from both of these cams. Thanks!.

Some other differences - the Action 4 has a nice remote control accessory (works well - I have one) whereas of now, the Pocket 3 does not. The Action 4 works well with a selfie stick, the Pocket 3 does not as it just has the 1/4" threaded tripod mount at the base of the handle or battery grips. The Action 4 has easily swappable batteries; the Pocket 3 does not, though it does have the optional battery grip. The Pocket 3 itself does recharge more quickly than the Action 4.

IMO vlogging dos not need blurry background, we know what is the main subject, no need to separate it, and if the is to show around, blur is not really best. Only my opinion. for hiking, I used Pocket 1, then Pocket 2, when there was no action cam that I liked (did not like Action 1 and gopro). Now after using Action 2 and 3, have Action 4 and very happy with it. Action 3 was very good too. Still have Pocket 2 but do not use it much any more. I find it too long to switch on fully (align included) when need to quickly film on the fly. Keeping it for "low light".

The Pocket 3, can we turn off the background blur?
@JakeSloan9 ай бұрын
Nope as I said in the video it’s physics

Jake I now have both is it possible to get the same video look out of both ie use the action 4 as a b roll? Thanks
@JakeSloan4 ай бұрын
it is color wise but the action 4 doesn't have any shallow depth of field so it will always look a little different
@revivemtb59614 ай бұрын
@JakeSloan yes more color, I get there different cameras the 4 seems almost thicker if you get what I mean. So if you edit fro pocket3 to action4 as b roll its noticeable

Pocket 3 or realistically your phone lol

@@JakeSloan thanks. I was thinking the same thing. But I have iPhone 11pro (old) and I don’t like the idea of trying to capture 20/30 mins of video and not needing to use my phone inbetween and iPhone can’t record and pause and then continue

I am going to keep my Action 4 for Mtn Biking and Motorcycle shots and use the Pocket 3 for vlogging and B-Roll. I think it's the perfect combo to have. I then have a Sony A7siii mirrorless for my office talking head shots.

it's a tiny combo when you use both!

Hi Jake, when i walk and talk to the Pocket 3 the footage comes out very jittery and looks like its "hacking". I have not got the ND-filters yet. What settings do you recomend to get smooth footage when filming yourself walking?
@JakeSloan9 ай бұрын
first make sure you are walking smoothly as that is important, ND filters will help some but walking smoothly will help the most.
@MorganGrip9 ай бұрын
@@JakeSloan Thanks. Yes i know that ND-filters will help. Unfortunately I’m still waiting for them to arrive. 😊 I was hoping you had some tricks up your sleeve for settings without NDs. 😀

You cannot compare this 2 device! One is an action camera made for extreme sport also s*hit in low light and with electronic stabilisation! The other device is mechanical stab and better in low light.. the best is having them both and shoot on d-log so the clips matches . I have them both. 2 completely different devices. Nice review tho!🔥

Have both pocket 3 and Action 4. .... But no one mentions how weak the gimble is of the Pocket. It breaks quite fast. So be careful dont drop it or bump into people or things. Returned mine twice 😢😢. Action 4 way stronger. Drop it no problem
