The DJI Pocket 3 is not new but after spending 6 months using it for my work on this channel, has it kept up with the initial hype of it's release? In this video I'll take you across the world to show you my complete thoughts behind the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 in a mixture of vlog and review. I wanted to show off the capabilities of this camera in real time rather than sitting behind a desk and telling you my thoughts. What better way to show how good this camera is for vlogging than to just make a vlog?
I hope you enjoy and I'd love to know your thoughts on the DJI Pocket 3

This is exactly the type of review I feel is beneficial to the general public. A bunch of real world long term tests in different environments. Not just a spec sheet. I just received mine today and I’m so excited to begin using it. : )
Thanks William!
Best review I've seen in a while. Keep it going 👍🏻
Thank you!
I enjoyed seeing Sophia’s bubbly personality! Great video! You captured some great images! Thanks for taking me along!
Dude. THIS is the kind of reviews we need! Thank you!! Also, Sophia seems like such a Light! So happy for y'all!
Also, in case you didnt know, your images were incredible! THE HORSE SHOTS?!?! Unreal!
Thanks so much Scott!
Who knew there was even photography in here! haha
Great review, Alex! This is so insightful. Really gorgeous views too 😍
Dude, I just found your videos today and I’m now on a binge. They are so refreshing to watch! A lot of the channels I used to watch that made content similar to this have now transitioned into more sensational content that only plays to the algorithm. While I respect their business decision as full time TH-camrs, it does make me sad when the content I subscribed for is no longer a priority as they change. One creator I requested old style vlogs of replied to my comment saying “those videos just don’t get views”. Anywho, i digress, it doesn’t really matter what i think lol- but i just wanted to say, thanks for making content like this that’s so down to earth. Regardless of what your journey ends up looking like on the platform, i really enjoy sitting back and watching engaging content like this!

Thank you for your information and great video, exactly what I was looking for. I have the OP 3 now for 2 weeks and try to find my best settings for my use.
What an excellent and thorough real-life review. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I love the camera. Thanks for the great review. We want more Sophia, she's a Star!
I tell her this everyday!
The image at 10:40 is one of the best images from Torres Del Paine I've ever seen. That's magical, you have really captured the essence of this place.
Wow thanks Luciano!
Man!!! That photo with the condors is AMAZING!!!
Thank you! It's one of my favorites
Great video. Love it. Thanks which artists are you playing in the background
Great video, great camera and great location. Very impressive 👍🏾
this and action 4 is all what most people will ever need.
Great review
We absolutely love the pocket 3. It has solved so many issues with our vlogging and definitely a lot of our professional work. It's just easier and let's you focus on other stuff. Of course it's not perfect and photos it takes isn't very good but for a clogging camera. It's excellent.ty for sharing!
Thanks for commenting!!
Best review of DJI pocket 3 on planet earth. I am a musician and Thinking of purchasing it 😊
Hah thank you
Very nice. Great adventure, great images, what's not to like? Safe travels.
thank you Brian
This the first video to sale me on this gadget.
Thank you for the video. Patagonia is on my bucketlist and I am starting to save for it today!
Question on this vs that....Would you choose DJI or GoPro for someone just starting out creating vlogs?
The pocket 3 and its not close to a gopro. Unless you mean GoPro vs DJI Action go - then I don't know. But for vlogging, the pocket 3 vs a gopro - to me its not even a contest.
Very good and useful video, Alex. I've got my Pocket 3 recently and still have to get the grips (for example, did not know that I could have fixed shutter speed and variable ISO).
Just one question: which was your settings for sharpness and noise reduction?
Thanks again, amazing video.
-2 Sharpness, -2 NR i believe.
Parabéns pelo vídeo. Tenho tb um Osmo Pocket 3 e eu o amo. A esposa é simpática, impossível não rir com ela. Deus abençoe vocês.
Hey Alex! Thank you so much for this, this is exactly what I needed. On the run, real-life use for filming in non controlled environment. Probably the most valuable review I've seen so far! I just had a question about switching between modes, which you kind of answered, but got me super curious:
How much do you find yourself changing White Balance, or do you set it to auto?
And, how often do you find yourself taking off the ND-lens?
I tend to spend most of my time recording in day light and occasionally low-light (head-lamp) environment. But it happens that I go in-doors multiple times a day, like you did on and off the plane/car, maybe inside a tent, e.t.c.
That would help me stay prepared and aware during the transitions between these environments when I take it out on first run on the 20th of May!
Thank you again! Fingers crossed, that you'll see my comment =)!
Auto white balance. And the nd I usually on during the day. Off during sunrise and sunset.
Thanks for the wonderful review. Super helpful and appreciated showing it im everyday use. Where are you getting / finding the music that you use and doesn’t flag for copywrite?

I’ve been using the pocket three for about four months now and I am amazed that it punches way above its price range. Long as you have enough light the quality of the video is terrific. In low light it’s not terrible but it certainly ain’t the Sony a7s4.
But the best thing about the pocket three is the stabilization… I can go running and it’s smooth as butter.
Agreed!
Amazing views
This is a great review. I agree that most TH-camrs use cameras once or twice and move on. Ppl that actually use them instead of being paid to use them goes so much further.
Great video Alex - first, I think it might be moving Patagonia up on the bucket list - those scenes!!
I've been using the Pocket 3 for about the same amount of time and I agree, it just stays out of the way while telling a story, small, lightweight, the gimbal has improved my b-roll tremendously - both for ease of having a camera at hand to the stability of it, I could go on-and-on. I think I'm finally going to have to break down and get the ND filters, I've been shooting on auto for a lot, but the samples you showed were great at illustrating the difference. (I know in one of my recent videos - I looked too crisp - brighter conditions).
And now that makes both you and Heaton commenting that the log video is workable even without luts if need be. Guess it is time to do some more experimentation with the camera.
Safe travels!
the majority of my "grade" on this footage was basically the 709Lut at 50% intensity. Thats it. Some scenes no lut at all.
BUT…can your internally record 32-bit while using the mic’s bluetooth to the pocket 3 internal recording at the same time?
hi. while you were recording in the d-log profile, did you still have the nd filter on the camera lens? sorry for the question, i dont have a pocket 3 but im saving up for one. 😊
Yes! using dlog wont change when you need an ND or not.
One of the best Pocket 3 reviews I've seen! Question for Alex or anyone else here using it -- when filming non-handheld shots of yourself doing photography, do you carry a second full-size tripod and mount the Pocket 3 on that? Just use the tiny legs it comes with? Something else?
Most of the tripod shots are with one of my cameras and a tripod. I have set the P3 down on its little tripod legs before as well.
When mounting or filming inside a moving car the pocket 3 starts to rotate the oposite way of the car turning. This is useless to have, Is there any way to turn this off? Any updates to this?
Heyy thx for the video:) question: do u edit ur DJI mic 2 sound or is it straight out of the mic ? Thx a lot in advance
I edit it.
Perfect! I took my Japanese son in law to Buffalo Wild Wings first thing when he visited the US. I know they are not definitive wing but purely American food.
He says for such a small sensor? In my limited experience, a 1 inch sensor is not small. With your set up what do you consider a normal size sensor to be?
Ahhhh… that Patagonia wind, I remember it well! Were you able to jump the border and check out El Calafate on the Argentinian side? Also spectacular as is El Chalten not far from there -that's where you can see and climb or simply trek to Fitz Roy base! Cheers Alex, just discovered you today-good work.
Much more to come!
I love this camera, just upgraded from Pocket 2 recently, I love the upgrade. I make a video of the detailed closeup.
Interesting perspective. I visited Patagonia almost thirty years ago. The landscape and wind are the same, but I travelled with a SLR, shot film and no video. Video cameras existed of course but with horribly bad quality. Casio had just launched the QV 10 stills camera with 0.25 MP. Quite a difference to the Pocket 3.
quite the difference indeed. I wonder how much has changed in the landscape since then!
Nice! what do u recommend between Sony zve10 w kit lens or osmo pocket 3 creator combo for videos like reels and some photos, but for Personal use? Which one is better? Im a beginner so i want to have experience w a good camera
I suspect the zve10 is better for those needs!
Does this camera have HDR video? Did you try it?
Nice video.
Thanks!
Do you recommend buying ND filter? Also i cant edit 10bit raw, so how's standard video quality?
it's not raw video
Cheers, Alex, had mine with me in Patagonia as well two weeks ago. Pretty convenient. Although the vlogging look of a large camera is nicer ;-)
Where will your images be?
I’m wanting to be able to transfer the data from the device to my iPhone to post on social media TH-cam primarily but also TikTok and Facebook posts. Cannot be done through Bluetooth.
Is that something they plan to add?
cool video, what did you use for the dji mic hand mount? thanks
its just the case that comes with the creator combo!
@@AlexArmitage that's pretty clever, thanks!
You should try the variable NDs from K&F. I literally only carry two filters, and I dont change them out NEARLY as much. It’s one less thing to really think about.
does it still close?
Hi Alex, outstanding work my good man! Around the 9:00 mark when you started dropping images I feel your video went even more vertical in the most positive way!
I seriously appreciate you using the OP3 for 6 months prior rather than just a few days or weeks since it often takes a while to really get into a camera especially something different and new, at least I have found that, what about you do you find that as well or something different?
As I watched your video location Patagonia it got me thinking I simply could see the similarities to Vancouver and the various mountains and lakes we also have here. Have you guys been here yet? If yes, how was it? If not, how come and when are you coming?
It appears from your video we share a lot of the same equipment. I would like to add a chest POV for my OP3 and probably a longer selfie stick.
Alex, your video is DOPE, keep up the awesome work mate. Who knows maybe we might even see each other in the future. Take care & all the very best!!
Thanks for the kind words. I can't answer everything here but I can save I've been to Van. Drove all the way through BC! Beautiful place
5:18 Do you buy bedding every time you travel in a rented van and what did you do with that bedding after your short time with it?
Hah no absolutely not. We donated it to the campervan place once we left.
The thing I hate the most about the camera is… I like it so much!! I bought a second one and primarily use it as a PTZ camera! Able to control the pan & tilt from a distance is a god send. And if the subject moves too much, then I auto track their mug, while I'm doing photography of the event. It really makes you a 1 man show. God help me if they make another one with the lens from the DJI Mavic 3 Pro. I'll be broke!! P.S. Fantastic photography by the way.
yes exactly!
Good morning Alex and Sophie 🌈 Patagonia, WOW. Looking forward to following along. Silly question, why on earth did you go in winter? Are you just a glutton for cold weather 😂. Wishing you two a fun time.
We went for the fall color Linda! Also Sophia asks about you anytime I post a video
Ah, that's so sweet 🍩
We love you for doing this video Alex, wow impressed, can you tell us what time of the day and settings that Aeroplane footage was at on 3:39? Dlog-M i assume? if you see my latest video i also spoke about this camera and settings too, you did an amazing job
Thanks for such kind words and yes, d-log for 98% of the video.
@@AlexArmitage your welcome. Was that aeroplane bit colour graded or straight out of camera?
Can this be used for a wedding? Instead of my mirror less Sony?
No, I don't think so. This is definitely for mostly close up work and you need a lot more variability for weddings.
Cost of the pocket 3 vs everything, incredible. and if it breaks, a new one is well within the budget.
*looks at bank account* I do not plan on breaking it lol
tell em flanders
okily dokily
Sooo… maybe I missed it … but why will I hate it? 😅
Hah. Maybe I should have made it more clear. Because you'll want to turn your more expensive video cameras into paper weights!
The color of the whole video is wrong.
No, it's not. Check your device for issues.
@@npatricksmith Do you say that your skin tone is blue?
@@raywu6787when is his skin blue?
@@softwater34 8:08 the trees &l leaves also have blue tone. ALEX has hundreds skin tones in this video.
Not a fan of the clickbait at all so had to dislike the video but good review 👍
What was the click bait? 😂
Not even 15 seconds into the video your rudely interupted from speaking directly to your viewers and never continues the conversation until hours or traveling later. This is the first vid I'm seeing of your content but that first little skit turned my curiosity off damn near immediately. Hope your voice ends up reaching whoever your directing your content too but its quiet obvious it's not for everyone. Best of luck
No ones content is for everyone.
You are or you’re. Not “your “. Because grammar. You’re welcome. (Your second and third “your”s are fine 👌🏻)
Thats okay! Lots of other content options out there, hope you find what you're looking for.
Skip it if you don’t like it then lol
LOL, Internet karen 🤣🤣
