The only way I would use an nd filter or any kind of filter is if I had a planned sequence of vidoes and the light was ALL the same during those takes. If you are doing candid walk around "filming' how on earth are you going to deal with those little fiddly filters in time to get ready without losing the moment?

The auto focus in general needs a bit of work, or DJI need to give us more control. Tracking works really well and will keep focus, but every other time it just feels like it's all over the place. I wish you could turn on tracking autofocus, but the gimbal doesn't move. Sometimes even when I tap to focus, it will go back to focusing on the centre.

I'm exactly the same. Been going out everyday, playing around in diff conditions, so I can capture the memories in the best quality I can. I also got the phantom LUT's but I have dark skin, and always need to add a bit of magenta in because it tends to look too yellow. I use -0.3ev mainly because of my skin color.

Kenapa agak gelap ? Kalau di Osmo 3 Terang

that's super interesting! I also got the sony phantom luts but i didn't know he also made luts for the pocket 3. Thanks for sharing!

Did you use an ND filter? I think -3 is the sweet spot

Settings: 24fps D-log M ISO 50-1600 Auto White Balance Exposure -0.7-0.0 To me, -0.7 looked the best. I’m ok with my face being a little underexposed. Also, I should’ve set the white balance manually. Tell me what you think…

they have vnd's that give you nd adjustments and they are thin enough to just keep on and it closes and fits in the case with it

So you’re willing to spend hundreds of $$$ for the camera but not an extra $30 to get nice, smooth footage? Interesting

I am saving my money for a Sony RX1III

It is a pain to use those filters…it keeps me from using them when I should…

Like how honest you were with this thumbs up liked n subscribed my friend

I use the K&F Koncept variable ones. I have them both in the magnetic slot in the case for those special occasions I need to be capture the natural motion blur. I also use the Mist filter from K&F which is thin enough to let the gimbal lock itself when you turn it off.

I bought the ZV-1 but I hardly use it purely because of the poor image stabilisation, any tips to make improve this?

Nice video ❤ keep posting.

Lmaoooo really? Thats so minor.

I’m team no ND filter on my zve1. Let the shutter crank to astronomical levels. For content creation, it’s not worth the hassle. Unfortunately, negativity gets much more clicks and views then positivity, it be like that. I’m with you, keep it simple and minimize the amount of “setup” you need to do. Nice b roll at the end, nice video!

Unfortunately I learned today that I should have taken my ND filter. I filmed an entire day on the OP3. I found the shutter speed caused a choppy effect since it was bright sunlight most of the day

Or just leave them on. I use k&f vnd with black mist

I kinda agree

Hi shutter not on auto? Thx

You're right. It is minor.

I dont use filters on mine but I also don't use filters on my mirrorless cameras as I can take photos without them! I have no time for the so called influencers, if anything they put me off buying many products.

I am constantly worried about breaking the gimble putting on ND filters with my fat hammer fingers. Cheers man!

I agree with you. I have ND filters but to use them properly you need to use manual settings and make adjustments every time lighting conditions change. Too much effort for a camera that is supposed to be quick and easy. If you are into making short films and cinematic stuff then Filters are great. I frequent Disney World and I wish we had those little robots. So Cool!

I find it extremely easy to put on and off

Top quality takes some effort but if that is not your goal I totally get what you are saying

Im using your recommendations right now with natural sunlight and in the window on a very sunny day. Why is it too dark?

What about EV ?

Too much fuss for me with NDs.

i also fully agree with you but was wondering. So your shutter speed, iso, and white balance are all on auto?

You're right. Sure if people are shooting professionally, the expectation is for professional "cinematic" footage. BUT for folks trying to capture memories of trips or vacations or events with family or friends, capturing a spontaneous action is important (rather than missing it bcs you were changing ND filters). Just let casual users think of it as there point and shoot gimbal video camera ... don't drain the life out of it by making it overly complicated. 😉🙃

Good vid man. I do own the pocket 3 and the nd filters but I agree with you. I think if the topic of your video is good most people won’t care if it’s perfectly cinematic or not. There shouldn’t be any shaming if someone chooses not to use it. I like using a filter and setting the ISO to auto. It works fine for me but I’ve shot without filters and it’s fine too.

Your angle on this is very real...to be fair, ND filters does make the video more 'cinematic' by following the 180-degree rule, but let's face it - how many of us have the time to put the ND filters on when wanting to get footage on the go...moreover, for 90% of the time like home videos - there's honestly no need for ND filters but if you're making a film or some sort of artistic video log then perhaps planning these shoots with the ND filters on for the 'cinematic' look and feel with background motion blur etc is the way to go...my advice would be only buy ND filters when you have the spare cash to put them in your bag for the special occasions - as only for home videos, I seldom bring them out like you said!

Whoever said that doing stuff right has to be easy? In this video I can clearly see the janky-cranky digital effect of no motion blur. If that's what you like - fine. But, I think that the whole Pocket-3 is flawed and too much like hard work. Try actually putting it in "your pocket" regularly and find out what fails first: The gimbal (VERY fragile, as on my M4P, but that never gets put away without the protector on), or, the gimbal through the ingestion of "pocket lint" (dust). And don't even think of using it in the rain... I just bought the Action-4 due to its resistance to dust and water, and I will be using ND filters. But, each to their own.

If they didn’t make those kinds of videos they wouldn’t have any content. Kind of like this video, being triggered by what they said. You all feed off each other and the video world goes round and round :)

We use 2 Osmos (one each) to make our videos, we are on a World Cruise, so far we shot 61 episodes, we have 2 sets of filters and never used a single one.

Fresh, honest takes = new subs!

Well said. I have the original Pocket, AND the Pocket 3 and I don't use any filters, ever, on either of them. They are sufficiently well designed and engineered to deliver perfectly good quality video without the need for the extra expense and kerfuffle of add-on filters. Those who swear by them can keep them. Good for them. I'm perfectly happy with my unadorned Pocket 3's lens!

I bought a large filter pack and the wide angle lens adaptor..haven't used them once. Too much futz for me

If you're shooting outside during the day with the OP3, then yes you should use ND filters if you want to capture natural motion blur. But, if you don't mind the jittering effects of a high shutter speed setting, then sure do whatever you want.

I think it’s a handicap of the wide lens and aperture combo of the pocket 3. You just can’t have everything sadly.

So true

Well this is interesting job 😊

The quality looks amazing! I gotta get one 😄

I’m getting it for my A7IV for real estate photography mainly. But also astrophotography and video. I was going to get the Sigma 14-24mm before this was announced but the Sony is so much smaller and lighter and can use normal filters. No brainer.

Update: lens is not internal zoom and is not as compact as I thought it would be.

I just bought a GoPro hero 12 and I love it. I was considering getting a gimbal, but the pocket 2 can be had now for about twice the price of the gimbal. Any thoughts on whether you think the pocket 2 is worth it in 2024? It’s under $300 now and readily available. I’m mostly going to use it alongside my hero 12, but for lower light conditions. I know the pocket three has great low light capability, but it looks like the pocket two is no slouch with low light. I would love your thoughts. Do you think it’s worth it in 2024 since it’s under $300 now?
