For some time now I’ve been wanted to learn more about video. When I recently bumped into a YouTube review or this combination still camera/video camera and gimbel I thought it might help me overcome whatever block I have that stops me getting into video. So I got the camera. A few months later I also acquired the DJI Mic 2. That’s what’s in the box to the right of the camera.

A review in Videomaker (See: DJI Osmo Pocket 3 review: A major step forward concludes:

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the Pocket 2. This handheld three-axis gimbal camera boasts a one-inch sensor for improved image quality, advanced autofocus for rapid and precise focusing and enhanced low-light performance. It’s tailored for solo filmmakers seeking a portable, all-in-one solution. With a body measuring 5.5 x 1.7 x 1.3 inches and a weight of 6.3 ounces, the camera maintains its compactness while offering a two-inch rotating touchscreen for ease of use in various shooting modes.

Key features include the ability to shoot 4K video up to 120 fps and 1080p at 240 fps for slow-motion effects. The camera offers 10-bit HDR color, useful shooting modes like ActiveTrack 3.0, and panoramic capabilities without the need for a tripod. Its three-mic array captures clear audio, but there’s also support for the DJI Mic 2 for enhanced audio capture. The Osmo Pocket 3 also offers IP streaming with HD livestream capabilities and a timecode function for multi-camera synchronization. While app compatibility enhances the camera’s functionality, activation is required before use.

Overall, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a worthy camera for creators who need a powerful, versatile camera that offers both high-quality imagery and professional features in a compact form factor. If you currently have the Pocket 2 and wonder if you should upgrade to the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, we’d say go for it.

I haven’t been able to use it much yet, but after a few preliminary attempts I thinks it’s something I could easily get used to. Stay tuned.
