Normal color profile is great enough❤
Thank you for all of your testing Ahn!
I feel like based on these test runs, it sort of boils down to:
-Normal Color is for when you just don't want to bother with grading at all. I think it's most useful for when you intend to upload your footage to social media as soon as you take it.
-D-Log M with the DJI LUT is basically attempting to get you to a more or less "normal" color profile. But the difference is that you have more flexibility to apply other LUTs or grade it to your own tastes
-HLG is EXTREMELY saturated and dramatic looking, which if used selectively could be pretty cool. The HLG footage gives a more "cyberpunk" look to the footage. But you have to know that's the look you're going for in advance.
I think the second batch of footage is all very good, but heavily dependent on what you want from your footage. You can use Low-Light if you basically want to have everything fully lit and visible as if it's daytime, Manual settings for if you want to still preserve the feeling of actually being nighttime, and Auto is somewhere in between. I did find Auto and Low-Light to be a little too bright though, especially with the snow mist filter making every light glow that much more. But in the end I think the biggest point is that all of this footage is GOOD! Very little noise, even in Full Auto or Low-Light. Whatever you want your footage to look like, it seems like you can achieve it with the Pocket 3.
In regards to 10 Bit/Normal Colors, YES! You can get 10 Bit with Normal Color, but it's all about the "Video Compression" Setting. As long as it's set to HEVC instead of of H.264, Normal Color will result in 10 Bit footage. I believe as of firmware update 01.02.06.04, you'll notice that Normal Color also has the yellow "10bit" tag on it too in the selection menu as long as you're in HEVC mode to clear up the confusion. You'll also notice that if you're already in D-Log M and try to change the Video Compression setting, you actually cannot select H.264.
Wow, love all the feedback! I totally concur with you and thanks for the reminder about HEVC! I don't seem to have as keen an eye as you so that's great to hear you assessment!
thanks for the HEV tip
Thank You! Greetings from Finland. Your test was good and simple. I have found out as well the usefulness of the normal mode and the variable iso setting. Just now we have -23C degrees outside. Tested a bit. Gimbal works well, at least 20 minutes outside.
Wow~~~That's super cold! Yikes! I'm glad the video helped you out a little. I heard Finland is a beautiful country though! Thanks for the feedback and supporting the channel!
Thanks, Ahn. I really appreciate you posting these DJI Pocket 3 settings comparison videos. I'll be getting a Pocket 3 within the next few months and videos like this will save me a lot of time trying to figure out the best settings. Thanks again and keep 'em coming!
That's so great to hear that it was helpful!
I'm amazed by the video quality no grainy noise at all and im watching in a 20 inch screen ... love the smoothness of the mist filter
great video as always
Why thank you kind sir!
I feel like during the day, the normal profile does a better job with my skin tone than I did with colour grading D log. But for everything else, including night shots, filming in D log with manual settings is super sweet.
I really liked how your first clip was. The Dlog grade and mist filter really made it feel like a scene from the 1st bladerunner
Nice! Yeah, I felt like 100 iso might have been too low, but good to hear that it helped produce a certain mood!
Wow thats a long time to wait for your myst filter!
Yeah, but at least I have the Freewell's to hold me over :P
Excellent content☺️Very interesting
Thank you for the comment and supporting the channel!
Thanks for the very useful video. Where did you get the DJI lut? Does it have a name?
Here is the link directly from DJI! www.dji.com/downloads/softwares/osmo-pocket-3-dlog-to-rec709
Thx for the comparisons. But seriously the Auto modes were sooooo good, it's a godsend for anyone who doesn't want to bother with color grading/post process.
Hello Tom, yeah, that's part of the reason why I love doing these comparisons is to show off what the Pocket 3 can do. Whether a person wants to dive deeper into settings or just do "auto", it's going to give great results! Thanks for the comment and supporting the channel!
Interesting comparisons. I've not tried d-log yet. I just used the auto mode so far. It looks great! But I colour grade post recording.
Yeah, the D-Log M is pretty user-friendly for the newbie's like myself. You definitely should give it a try for sure! Thanks for the comment and supporting the channel, very much appreciated!
Video quality is absolutely great for a camera og this size. Thanks Ahn.
Just got my Pocket 3. For some reason, when recording, the live display freezes for a milisecond at the beginning. Is this normal?
You are very welcome, I haven't noticed any lag. I'll take a look at it and see if it comes up on my pocket 3
In the comparison of the three modes starting at 09:50, which one is closer in brightness to what the naked eye sees? Thanks for the test!
Hello, the manual setting was the one that was the most equivalent to what I saw that evening!
I prefere the normal mode! It's cool because I don't want to get boring with LUT and everything, just to have a beautiful image with 25fps and shutter at 1/50. that's all, and I think I will finally have it with this camera! Thanks a lot for your video! I subscribe to see your life in your country! Cheers from France! Michael.
Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate your support of the channel! Yeah, the Pocket 3 does have great video quality out of the box!
Very nice video and I learned a lot. Just got my Pocket 3 and can't wait to get out and test this further. I thought the Low Light mode at night was the best balance. IMO. :)
Oh wow! Congrats on the Pocket 3, you made a wise choice :) Thank you for the comment and supporting the channel!
@@TravelingAhn yes indeed my friend. I'll keep you posted as I have some night adventures planned with this camera to share. Thank you.
Yes please!
I used the Freewell Snow Mist filter on the Osmo Pocket 3 on the Low Light setting to film a wedding reception on Saturday and I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out. The blooming of the bright lights gave it a dreamy effect and the image was quality was fine. The clients will be happy and I'm very glad to have this tool in my arsenal. And yes, learn DaVinci Resolve. I've been using it ever since I got my first Blackmagic Pocket 4K and never looked back. Using the "Color Space Transform" tool on it changed everything for me
Yes, thank you for the little push to get over FCP! The "Nodes" in DaVinci seem to scare me a bit :P
@@TravelingAhn Yeah I don't love the nodes but there are plenty of tutorials out there on the TH-cams that can give you some basic tips for getting started with them. I don't get fancy with them at all. Just mainly use them as separate adjustments so if I have to delete one, I'm not beginning again from scratch. The experts who use big trees of them to do crazy detail color grading, masking and SFX still mystifies me but if you need to learn how to do something very specific, you can always find a quick tutorial
That's true, the sheer amount of cool things you can do on DaVinci seems much better than FCP. But yeah, I just have to sit down and make time to learn it!
@@TravelingAhn I learned FCP first many years ago. The transition wasn't that difficult. I forced myself to do it though because I wanted the benefit of the Blackmagic RAW which was well worth the effort
Good motivation!!
Hi Adam! I have the K&F Concept Black Diffusion 1/4 Filter, which was the only one I could get fairly quickly and it was also only $20. I think it looks good (some videos to drop soon once they are edited), but the only thing is that it is so thin that every once in a while (maybe 1 out of 10 times), the filter doesn't catch and the gimbal closes completely and you have to push it out with your fingernail and shimmy it out from behind the lens. I think I could probably put a small amount of glue or something on the edge to give it a little more thickness to avoid this or I could return it. So, out of these tests, I think I liked the one where you set the EV to -.7 and ISO to 50-1600 with D-Log M but I'm wondering what it would have looked like in Normal color with that setting in lowlight because the normal colors almost looked better than the D-Log M (in lowlight--in good lighting it's D-Log M all the way). I think I'll reservere the low-light setting for only when it's almost pitch black and my normal settings won't work.
Hey Tim, looking forward to your video drop and how the black diffusion looks. Yeah, I like the same one with the iso 50-1600. I concur with you the normal color in manual mode looks pretty impressive. If we do have to use the "low-light" mode we can go into the manual settings and tweak it a little.
@@TravelingAhn the issue I have with lowlight is that the contrast is super high, which isn't good for skin tones. Every pore, freckle and wrinkle is accentuated.
I saw someone say to record in 1080p to keep 4k from showing every detail 😂
@@TravelingAhn That's true. 1080 is like beer goggles for TH-cam. 😂😂😂
Have you try the Freewell LPR Filter during night ?
You know what? I keep forgetting to utilize that filter (hahaha) thank you for the reminder!
Very nice and Intresting video. When you had iso 100 do you remember what the ev said? -1.7 or so?
Do you see any differences between shapening and noise settings?
Hello, I do not recall, but I usually keep the EV at -0.3 to -0.7 in most cases if I have "Auto ISO" enabled. Regarding the sharpening and noise reduction, I've just followed the suggestions of more experienced out there that keep the sharpness at -2 and noise reduction at -1. I'm still working on gaining an experienced "Eye" on seeing the differences.
@TravelingAhn Thank you 😊 I just found a Intresting video, have a look.

Sorry, but that link did not work for me.
@@TravelingAhn Look at a video in your browser and change and type my text in to it. It's not possible to link other videos even if they are from youtube i think the comment will be removed.
Okay, yes I was able to see your comparisons this time! Great work on showing the extensive changes on Low-Light, Pocket 1 vs. Pocket 3, iso, etc. Very informative and helpful to me. I now see a use case for Low-light mode!
6:41 auto mode is the best setting
I prefer HLG or Normal
Oh wow, HLG certainly is good, but much harder to color grade!
your vid is so clean. mine doesn't look clean at all...
Oh no! Keep working on it! I don't think I'm doing anything special :P
will do. thx... @@TravelingAhn
You are very welcome!
just looking at the background HLG seems sharper than D-Log-M, but then if you watch the lantern on the left in HLG 5:13 it's really bright red and oversaturated and your face is orange. ... i think D-Log-M with color calibration is much easier to manage. also the mist filter is nice it's just that the diffusion (dreamy look) is a bit strong. I'm waiting for someone to release a 1/8 strength version. What i would to see being tested is a 'walk and talk'' ... ( during the day with lots of light.) with tracking and without. -- i've noticed that auto tracking seems to be excellent when stationary with a tripod but when used in selfie mode the background is super smooth but what's being tracked (the vloggers face) tends to jump around in a lot of videos I've seen on youtube. ... maybe it's the settings? maybe it's the speed mode of the gimble? ... what I've also noticed on other videos is a disappointing amount of stutter when panning. .... but then other peoples videos are buttery smooth. so i don't know what they're doing to get it all stuttery. ... your videos seem to be very good in that regard.
Yeah, I agree on the HLG issue for sure. D-Log seems to be the way to go. I also agree with the Snow Mist Filter being a bit too strong. I'm not too sure about the walk and talk with the face tracking situation. I did slow down my Gimbal speed when controlling it myself, however, I believe that when it auto-tracks your face the speed is a default speed that cannot be controlled unless they come out with a new firmware update.
ok interesting about there being a default tracking speed. ... it must be why the function is unavailable in slomo mode. ... well, i just did a quick search and already i'm seeing black and white mist filters for the pocket 3 in 1/8 strength popping up on websites... but so far only from some obscure 3rd party manufacturers that i've never heard of before@@TravelingAhn
Oh I see, yeah, we do need to be careful with who we get our filters from.
6:14 nice videos…this is best setting
Oh wow, so you believe the complete auto setting is the best? It certainly does give the viewer a brighter video for sure!
It’s definitely better absolutely the best .
6:49 I actually thought you had oil or finger grease on the lense …lol
Yeah, the Mist Filter is a bit strong :P
Nice video, so you would recommend the pocket 3?
Absolutely!
@@TravelingAhnI have mine on order but for low light
Thank you bro ✌🏻
HLG no thanks, too much contrast for night scene.
D Log M ISO 50-800 or even maybe 400 (instead of 1600) would be perfect to not add noise
Full Auto not for night obviously
Night mode … well … too bright and face not natural.
And about the Freewell mist filter … it’s a disaster ! Too strong effect. I own both Freewell and DJI mist filters, trust me, the DJI one is amazing beautiful and soft but Freewell one is a pity 😭😅 you will tell us when you will receive it !
Thanks for the feedback, yeah....I do feel like the Freewell Mist is a bit too strong as well. My assessment in the end came to the same conclusion as you with the ISO Auto range. I'll have to try the 50-400 and see how that does, good suggestion!
A mist filter didn’t even come in my combo
The Mist filter came in the Freewell ND mega pack. Is that what you mean? Yeah, it would have been nice if the DJI Black Mist filter came with the Creator Combo.
@@TravelingAhn you are correct it had a spot for it in the case I thought it was supposed to come with oops🤷🏾♂️
Oh no, sorry to hear that it didn't come with your pack. I suppose you could order it separately.
DLOG is looking great
HLG more vibrant a bit too much I think
Normal meeh 😅
i prefer the DLog overall cause in HLG your face is a bit weird
Thanks for the feedback. I think I concur with you regarding Dlog!
Great content man,You reckon 4 k 30 to be more cinematic than 4 k 24 since you didn’t try 4 k 24
Cheers
My opinion on 4k30 versus 4K24 is that the extra 6 fps helps when it comes to walking and vlogging videos.
Makes the video a bit smoother! Thanks for the comment!
