Yes. The city is alive and always changing.

Thank you. Bangkok certainly has its charm!

Thank you! 😊

Yes. You can choose either ‘normal’, 10-bit D-Log M or 10-bit HLG. The HLG option gives you a ready-to-go HDR file. I still like to edit this file slightly so it looks good on my MacBook Air screen (and with that I suppose most consumer phones, laptops and TV’s). TH-cam automatically detects that it is a HDR file and shows the video in HDR to those watching on a HDR screen. Everyone else sees a converted SDR video.

But do note that the Pocket 3 doesn’t do computational video like the iPhone does. The iPhone does tone-mapping on the fly exposing parts of the image differently to create, what Apple thinks is, the most pleasing video. The Pocket 3 can give you ‘unedited’ video that you have way more control over, and I think that looks more natural.

I’m not sure what the boat would cost, but it can’t be too much. It’s a long tail boat so you probably have to climb in it, which can be challenging. The climb itself is not that hard, but in Thailands heat it can be tough. If you’re somewhat fit, take it slow and bring plenty of water then it should be fine!

I’m holding the camera in my hand

Yes, internal microphone, but no filters.

@@jelledobma Thanks for replying, great looking footage.

Thanks!

Unfortunately this weekend is the last weekend as far as I know, with February 28 being the last day. However there are many nice bridges crossing the Chao Phraya river in Bangkok that you can walk. I can highly recommend the Chao Phraya sky park, I have a video on this on my channel.

@@jelledobma ok..thank you.. 🙂

Thank you!

Hi. The Pocket 3 is very popular in Thailand and was very hard to find and on back order for a long time. I had pre-ordered it before release and I’m not sure how it looks now. You can check many shops, for example at the CentralWorld shopping mall there is a DJI shop and next to it you’ll find the Big Camera shop that I purchased mine. Every shopping mall basically has the same shops, so it’s worth checking multiple malls. Prices are the same everywhere. Enjoy your trip here!

@@jelledobma thank you very much. What about Pattaya? Whether there are many stores in Pattaya? If so after landing I can take bus and go straight to Pattaya. If you say Bangkok is better then I will stay 2 or 3 days in Bangkok. Will be buying drone too so looking for good deal.

Since Pattaya is much smaller you’ll have fewer shops and a smaller chance with that, but they do have a few of the same shopping malls as Bangkok. I don’t really like Pattaya so I haven’t been there much, but it depends what you’re looking for. If the camera is really important then I’d recommend taking a day in Bangkok so you can visit a bunch of malls to see if you find it. If you can’t find it in the main shopping mall area (Centralworld, Siam Paragon) I’d recommend checking Central Rama 9 and the Fortune Town IT mall on the other side of the street. Lots of camera shops there. All very central and easy to reach by sky train, subway or taxi.

@@jelledobma sir sorry for asking too many questions. Will there be good deal during Songkran? If so I will plan to land on April 11 or 12 and stay for 3 to 4 days in Bangkok. If there won't be any major discounts/ offers then I will visit Thailand by March end itself. I would be buying pocket 3 as well as dji mini 4 pro and even if I get 1000 baht discount I would be saving something 😁 Thanks for your time and suggestions. Noted down everything what you said 🙏

No worries! I don’t think there are any special discounts on Songkran. Also, it seems that DJI has managed to have the same prices at all (serious) shops that sell them so it really doesn’t matter where or when you buy. Just buy at the shop where you feel you get the best help and service.

Thank you!

The whole process is a bit tricky actually and it took me quite some experimenting and hunting on TH-cam to get it right. But on the pocket you have to use PRO mode. Then you can select the color space where you chose 10-bit HLG. I find that I have to underexpose a bit, but you can experiment with that. In editing you have to edit in a ‘wide gamut’ color space. So I use Final Cut where I open a new library in Wide Gamut. Then when I create a new project inside that library I tell it to be in Rec. 2020 HLG. Don’t forget to apply the Pocket 3 LUT to your footage with the settings of Rec. 2020 HLG and adjust to taste. I usually brighten the shadows a tad to retrieve some detail there. For exporting I used a bunch of settings I found somewhere online to set up the correct profile in Compressor, so TH-cam will recognize it as HDR footage and process it accordingly (usually takes them some days, so be patient) I suggest searching for each topic separately on TH-cam. There are plenty excellent videos explaining the different procedures. Good luck!

Thank you! I’m happy to hear that!

Thank you!

Yes. I drive it all over Thailand!

Many beautiful bridges in Bangkok!

Many great views in Bangkok! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

You’re absolutely right. I have shot a driving video here in Bangkok yesterday, with ND filters on both my DJI Pocket 3 and Action 3 cameras to keep the correct ‘180 degree’ shutter speeds, and it’s day and night. However, the Insta360 can’t use ND filters unfortunately, so I experimented with this software motion blur they offer in their Studio program. I think with the right settings it might be ok, but in this video it’s a bit too much, I agree. This is also not helped by the much lower image quality of the Insta360 X3. Another challenge with ND filters is that it will negatively affect the digital stabilization in the action cams like the DJI Action 3 (and the Insta360 would it take filters). So more experiments are needed so find the correct settings and mounting hardware. But we’ll get there eventually!

@@jelledobma sounds good. I know there are no filters for Insta. Your video showed me that my decision not to buy the Insta was the right one. If possible, try 120 fps at 1/240. This means that less light comes into the camera and the image remains smoother. Thank you for showing this example

That’s a good idea. However I don’t think the Insta360 does 120fps at high resolution. But yes, maybe a ‘regular’ action cam on ultra wide could replace it, if it can remove the selfie stick. That would give a much higher quality in all ways. Something more to research 🧐😊

I’m not sure, but they could easily rent out those higher floors. I’ve been inside some of those buildings a few years back and they would make for excellent apartments! Very tranquil!

Thank you very much! It’s a beautiful place!

Thank you!

Thanks! The little camera does great!

Thank you!

Not at all. You can see my video ‘walk in the park’ where I walk for about 70-80 minutes while filming one long take of 4K 60fps HDR. In the sun. A few days ago I even had it strapped to my chest on a 1,5 hour motorbike ride in the Thai sun. Both using the battery handle. No problems at all!

A little update to this, I just released a 2,5 hour video filmed on the pocket 3 in 4K 10-bit. All shot here in Bangkok in 1 long take in an out 32 degrees Celsius and sunny weather. I used the battery handle which produces a bit of heat while it charges the camera, but I had no issues at all. The camera performed perfectly!

Thank you! Not sure I can be here for that, but I’d love to experience it one day!

Thank you! 🙏

Could walk for years and not cover everything 😅

It sure is!

It really is! Thanks!🙏

Thank you!

Thank you! It’s a must experience event! 😊

I came from the Pocket 2. The image quality is really good on the Pocket 3, but equally good is the usability upgrades with the larger screen among others. It’s a much nicer camera overall, just slightly bigger.

@@jelledobma definitely have to try it out. Will my pocket 1 wide angel lens and polarizers work you think? Or is the new lens bigger?

No, the 3 is much bigger so you’ll need all new accessories unfortunately.

@@jelledobma thank you!

Thanks for sharing. I’ll have to check that out!

@@jelledobma additional update, there has a plant fair between 1 - 10 Dec 2023 at Suan Luang Rama 9. You could check that out ☺️.

That sounds very nice! Unfortunately I’m in Chiang Mai right now and won’t be back in time. Maybe next time!

@@jelledobma Chiang Mai has a lot things to try and explore. Hope you have a good & safe trip 🙏

@@Ammasterless thanks! 🙏

Thanks! Bangkok is great! Although I can miss how quiet it was on the streets in Singapore when I visited last year 😅

It does great for such a small camera. The Creator Combo is 22000 THB, about $620

@@jelledobma Is it available in Bangkok? As in.. in stock?

@@LUITESLIFE​​⁠No. As I understand it from a DJI rep, after the initial release stock back in November (where I got mine from a pre-order), not much more has happened. He said there are still people waiting on their orders from November. It seems this camera is very popular, and I can see why as it’s a great little camera!

About 22.000 baht, approx $625 for the creator combo. I pre-ordered it, but I guess it’s freely available everywhere now.

Thank you!

Thanks! Good place to spend an evening!

No, ‘regular’ 10-bit HLG. This thing does very well in the dark.
