iPhone has slightly richer colours and great zoom but apart from that I think the Pocket 3 does very well especially tracking. If they could fit a zoom lens into that package it would be truly amazing. I have been waiting to see a comparison. Thank you. 👍
U know nothing about camera go learn first carried away by trend must be iPhone use,,not a single scene iPhone win
Colors aren't important, since for serious work you'll be shooting in D-log anyway
Yeah, would love to see a Pocket 3 Pro with a lens array / zoom lens, removable battery, and weather sealing.
This is at least 10 time better from stab ,,to tracking,,to multiple rolling to low light ,,to cinematic ,,,10 time better minimum
you guys are the ones that know what we are looking for.
if there is a zoom and new battery option let me know :D
and yes weather proofness...
These gimbals are not as stirdy
@@FreemanLaFleur
Pocket 3 for sure at night is better.
It is better in all aspects
The iPhone didn’t stand a chance at night 😂
Those 1” realy beat iphone at night
I still prefer the gimbal stabilization of the pocket3, iPhone's electronic stabilization makes the footage a bit jittery, especially in low light and at night scenes.
The stabilization of the Pocket 3 is amazing. I’m actually curious now how the iPhone would match up if I put it on a gimbal and turned off the electronic stabilization. But then it definitely wouldn’t be as compact.
@@ROAMitRALPH Well that will be too heavy for me to carry around
Great video man. We can judge for ourselves which was better in different situations.
Thanks! Yeah, I was hoping it would be a comparison video where people could decide which is best for the style/situations they shoot.
Thank you for this video, my favorite so far, thank you for testing all this!
Hopefully it was helpful to you. Are there any comparisons you think I missed? Trying to take notes to make future comparison videos like this better.
Great video. Incredibly helpful
Glad it was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions 🍻
Did you use the flat color profile or the color graded one for the Osmo?
Great video! Looks like you were in my neck of the woods (Rio in Gaithersburg) for the night shots. I think both are hard to distinguish, until you get to the night shots, where I prefer the DJI.
Oh nice! Yeah, I like Rio. They’re adding a few new restaurants too. I’m curious to see how that Copper Canyon dining pier is going to come out when it’s done. But I’m actually most excited for that IKEA pickup point, I’m old 😅
hello what do you think are the best settings to have better stabilization on the DJI Osmo pocket 3. Thank
What kind of things are you recording? Or just general recordings/daily stuff?
Nice comparison! Really insightful stuff. Such a cute puppy too 🐶❤
Thanks. Hope it was helpful for you. Yeah, she always gets the attention 🐕😂
I have them both and I use iphone 15 pro max for 5x video/photos and DJI osmo pocket 3 for all around videos like while i'm shooting events or training sessions with my dogs etc... I think they both are great. DJI is useful in situations where you want to use your phone as well.
dream combo, need to get both.
Man we are such consumers.... :D
That’s pretty much what I’m doing with them too. I love having a dedicated camera separate from my phone and one that works so well as the Pocket 3 is a bonus. The iPhone’s zoom and macro are really useful too. But then the tracking on the Pocket is such a game changer for me, especially as a solo creator. Yeah, I need both in my life 😂
Hahaha, we really are. It is a great combo though lol
@@ROAMitRALPH and for super wideagle shots iPhone is great too :)
@@m11kan that too! I really want to get the wide angle lens on the Pocket 3 to see how it performs. I can't find them in stock anywhere though 😢
❤ Great comparison and u ran fast also for us❤. Between what settings ve u used on pocket 3. And is it normal profile r any d log r hlg profile on pocket 3. Thanks fr awsm review 😊
Hi! Great video comparison. I have an Iphone 14 and I want to make an upgrade. I need an advice. Already buyed Comica microphones lavalier. and a tripod. The mic's don't have an Iphone adaptor but I can buy it also the Comica Adaptor. So, What would you recommend for vlogging in my situation? I would need it for TH-cam videos. To sell the Comica mic's and buy an OSMO 3, and stick with it, or to buy an Iphone 15 Pro Max?. Thank you
I would say to stick with the 14 and get the Pocket 3 especially if you plan to do a lot of walking and talking. I actually have an earlier video comparing the iPhone 12 vs the 15 and there isn’t a big difference to need to upgrade. Also, I have a few full frame cameras, but on my upcoming holiday to Japan, I plan on using the Pocket 3 for all my vlogging.
amazing thank you very much
At what sharpness setting did you film with the Pocket 3?
In the night shots, it looks like the OSMO wins, hands down. The shot of the fire, it looks like the iPhone handle the highlights better. Overall, it will always end up on how someone uses it and how well they know technical stuff to get the most out of either camera. Thanks for the video!
but in the day-time also! 1 inch sensor rules!
Yeah, the Pocket 3 wins in the movement shots at night. I didn’t even notice that with the fire shots, you’re definitely right though. The only thing I don’t like about the iPhone shots is that lens flare, other than that it did great.
not entirely sure how she shot it but using log in a dedicated video app where you can control your iso will allow you to avoid having excessive noise
@@xavierpierre1676 that’s definitely true. I shot everything with the stock camera app because I’m assuming most people watching this aren’t going to open a pro camera app to take videos all the time and dial in the manual settings. Those people will definitely be able to pull out the best footage out of any camera in their hands.
@@SanjidasSavory I think it depends on what you’re shooting. If you’re going to be doing a lot of walking and filming, the Pocket would be your best bet. If you just want to pull out a camera to film something at any moment, definitely the iPhone. Both footage will do fine in any editing program you put it in. For what it’s worth, filming with the Pocket is more enjoyable to me which makes me actually record more videos.
question is the iPhone in Prores? great comparison im so leaning on getting the pocket 3 even more now
is it all LOG format because im pretty sure shooting log on the 15 would get rid of alot of night time noise
Thanks for the video.
Hope it was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions 👍🏼
Thanks that was very helpful I preferred the Osmo 3 pocket footage on every level
Glad it was helpful. Especially the night shots, the iPhone didn’t stand a chance.
both are great i think in the low light pocket 3 thanks to its 1 inch sensor is better, the gimbal stabilization is better and i prefer it's colors and dynamic range iphone in some cases brightens up the sky when it's cloudy but on the other hand the zoom range on iphone and different focal length option on the iphone make it more versatile
I think the iPhone does too much sometimes with its HDR, like where it brightens the sky too much, but it definitely wins with that zoom. The action mode on the iPhone is pretty amazing too, too bad it can’t be used in 4K though. At the end of the day, both are great cameras to use.
Thank you for this. I was wondering what is the difference between them. I have pocket 2 and iPhone 12 pro max and wondering if I should upgrade and to what. The pocket 2 active tracking is not usable at all. What do you think ?
I had the Pocket 2 and sold it after I got the 3. Yes, the tracking was terrible on the 2 and I was always hoping they’d fix it via firmware. Even the Pocket 1 had more useable tracking. If you’re mainly interested in the tracking, easy YES to upgrade. The tracking is my favorite part of the Pocket 3. I’ve had a few times where tracking lost me (it lost me in the video in the tracking section), but that’s usually in confusing scenes where I’m not surprised it lost me. Your 12 Pro Max is good if you don’t need to upgrade your phone. I actually did a similar comparison like this on the 12 and 15 Pro Max.
th-cam.com/video/bkMh-DKu_1w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mAIMlsKbDOdQile8
@@ROAMitRALPH The pocket 1 tracking was problematic but they fix it later with firmware and now it is a lot better then the 2. I was also hoping they will fix the 2 with a firmware. I also have a lot of accessories for the 2 I am not sure I will be able to sell all of it. I will need to but the ND filters and the microphone. I think if the tracking was working I wouldn't upgrade since the pocket 2 has good quality. altho the 3 quality is a lot better.
@@YosiOren the Pocket 2 is still a very good camera. You can get almost the same results as the Pocket 3. And honestly, most people watching wouldn’t even notice the difference. Yeah, I took a big loss when I sold my Pocket 2 and all the accessories I had for it. I just sold everything in one big package. I probably should have just kept it, but I knew if I had the Pocket 3, I probably wouldn’t bring the 2 out much if at all. Sucks that none of the accessories of the 1&2 could work on the 3.
Excellent vid mate. Really hard to pick a winner hey! If I needed just a camera the P3 wins however the iPhone is a camera and other things so not sure which one.
Thanks! Yeah, I think these days it’s hard to find a bad camera. The iPhone may have some disadvantages to the Pocket 3 like in low light, but it definitely does more than just act as a camera. And it’s something that’s always in your pocket.
ughhhhhh i keep getting influenced!!! i love these videos where u just let us decide without saying anything! thank u!
Haha, I know exactly how it feels when I watch these videos so I don't want people to feel like they need to go and get the latest and greatest. I've been influenced too many times from TH-cam lol
I really can't tell if I should get the osmo mobile 6 or the osmo pocket 3. I'm looking to use them to create some instagram reels/tiktoks for my business but I'm unsure if the pocket has the same vertical shooting versatility as the mobile 6
If you hold the Pocket 3 horizontal/normal, it crops in and shoots at 3K. You can hold the Pocket sideways, like a bike handle, and the camera will shift to shoot vertically so you get the full 4K and 20mm. It’s a little awkward to hold like that to film, but there are still ways to mount it like that. I’m actually looking at the Osmo Mobile too, I keep hoping the OM7 gets released soon since it’s been over a year now since the OM6 was released.
That was hard to tell slightly different colours night mode was noticeable but the longer zoom range. Were you shooting prores of both h265 ?
Yes, both we’re recording HEVC
Images quality is not really the problem nowadays. It’s the special features and convenience. Since I already own my iPhone 15 pro max, I wouldn’t buy the Dji Pocket 3. About 99% of the time, I’m just recording videos of the scenes where I’m at. iPhone can do that just fine. No need to spend money on something that you already can do with your phone.
Yeah, it’s really hard to find a bad camera these days. Like you said, it’s all about the special features and convenience. I’m like you, the iPhone is always with me so it’s easier to pull out and take great footage wherever I’m at.
The iPhone is very good specially the HDR and color accuracy, not to mention the zoom range (though the 2x digital from the dji is also great)...but on low light or selfish, the pocket 3 is a clear winner.
The Pocket 3 can actually shoot HLG, I actually need to give that a try to see how it competes with the HDR on the iPhone. And the digital zoom is 2x in 4K, 3x in 2.7K, and 4x in 1080. Still doesn’t compete with the iPhone though. But yeah, Pocket 3 easily wins in low light and selfie shots.
Night shots of RIO on the pocket 3 look crispy
The only area the iPhone is better seems to be zoom. To my eye Pocket 3 knocks it out of the park everywhere else. Night shots, tracking and motion it's in a different league.
nahh iphone has better DR
I don’t know, I think the iPhone almost had the Pocket beat in tracking 🤣. DJI did an awesome job with the Pocket 3.
Go Ralph go!!🙌🙌🙌
Daniel!!! Where we going? 😂🍻🍻
Good comparison. DJI has the clear advantage in low light.
Thanks. Yeah, I think even the smaller sensor Pocket 2 could beat the iPhone in low light. It’s hard to beat that gimbal in those conditions.
In most shots the iphone 15 outperforms the pocket, at least for the daylight part.
Something I noticed in most pocket 3 videos and very noticable in this one side by side with the iphone is that the pocket 3 footage seems "bouncy". Specially when you are walking it looks like it s moving up and down a lot. Is it because the gimbal is so small that it cant compensate walking movement?
Yeah, the Pocket 3 doesn’t have anything to adjust for that Z-axis “bounce”. You’d have to get some contraption to counter that. You can look at the DJI Ronin 4D, it’s built to deal with that exact issue. You’ll see a lot of videographers like to have some weight to their camera to let the camera guide itself, the lightweight Pocket 3 makes makes the users hand be the guide which makes it not as smooth (not taking into account the gimbal itself).
DJI Pocket 3 is better in videography 100%
Definitely! It’s been my favorite camera to use recently. Did you happen to watch Full Time Filmmaker’s video on the Pocket 3? They make it look amazing 🤩
Was the iPhone lense cleaned each shot? Looks like there might be hand oil on the lense in the night shots
You’re somewhat right, it was raining that night and the lens kept fogging up. I did use a lens cloth to wipe it before each shot, but the fog kept creeping in. It somewhat stopped when I got up to the intersection shot though.
@@ROAMitRALPHthank you yes it helped . I have an iPhone 14pro max and my night time videos are amazing. I do think the DJI has a slightly better night time video but I think the iPhone has the advantage in the day time. You made a great video. The only other thing that gives the dji an advantage is the wireless mic that it comes with.
Thank you
If you dont pay attrntion to details in daylight it seems like they are same but when it comes to scenes with ground texture or grass you can easyly see iphone eis will smudges details where dji keep it all clear and sharp. Eventgough if you dont care smudging on night shots as well iphone has a great camera for sure.
Yes! I think the iPhone performs well in still shots and honestly it does fine in movement shots too, but you can definitely notice that EIS doing work, especially in the grass shots like you were talking about. I don’t think most people would be able to see the difference though, just people like us lol.
Nice comparison. The iPhone seems superior in some areas. The IS of the iPhone looked smoother than the DJI but the Pocket 3 obliterated the iPhone 15 in low light. Were these shot in Log for both ?
Hey! I’ve been following you since the FX3 leaks. So awesome to see you here! I shot everything using auto because I assumed most people aren’t really taking these into manual mode. I didn’t use LOG, standard profiles on both. I probably should have done a test in LOG though. But yeah, still awesome to see you here 🍻
You probably should have matched and locked the white balance on both. They both shoot Log so I assume it would come down to overall sharpness as I don't expect thereto be much difference when color graded properly. Which means the iPhone wins only on zoom and potentially dynamic range buy I would have to run it in manual mode myself with an ND in order to make that assessment. DJi wins in tracking, bokeh apparently, night mode and with an ND and LOG I suspect the image would be hard to tell apart.
I thought about that, but I figured a lot of people wouldn’t take the cameras out of auto mode, so I tried to keep everything as simple as possible. Someone who knows how to color grade could definitely make either of these cameras match if not beat a beginner with a full frame camera. BUT, it probably isn’t a bad idea to make a video comparison shooting both in LOG and then comparing the two. I might have to give that a try.
@@ROAMitRALPH I'm happy with your comparison with both set to auto. That's what most people are going to use. People who are into flat profiles and colour grading probably have (or should have) a mirrorless on a gimbal.
@@VynZography exactly, I definitely wanted to adjust some things, especially with the Pocket (I personally felt like it overexposes the image). But I’m sure people who understand how to adjust settings and things can look at the shots and know exactly what they could do to fix the image.
Very good thanks sir
Thanks again! 🍻
Hello! I have discovered that the joystick diagonally up to the right does not work for me when moving the camera. Yes it works for me in the other angles. Does the same happen to you? Will it be a mechanical or software failure? thanks!
I just tested mine, now that you say it, I can get it to work in that direction, but it isn’t as easy/smooth as in the other directions. I’ll have to ask my friends if they’re having the same problem.
@@ROAMitRALPH According to DJI the joystick should only move up down and left right. Even if we manage to move it diagonally, in theory it is not designed for that.
@@iagowski oh, that’s good to know. Yeah, getting it to move in the other diagonal issues were fine, but that up/right was very picky for me. I guess that makes sense now. I wish it was intended to go in those directions though, maybe that’s just me lol. Thanks!
@@ROAMitRALPH Yes, I would also like it to work comfortably diagonally. It is a minor problem or feature.
Really interesting comparisation and it makes me even more hyped to buy a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 soon :)
You’re going to love it when you get it. I film more with the Pocket 3 than any of my other gear. What do you plan of filming with it?
@@ROAMitRALPH I plan to start a walking channel so I can combine travelling with business. I want to visit countries that are very popular among people who consider to go to vacation. Do you know if it's possible to hold the pocket 3 in the same way as pocket 2 in the hand while walking so that nobody can actually see that I'm filming?I'd prefer this way rather than make it obvious that I'm filming. Thanks in advance.
@@jcashflow8514 I like watching those kind of videos. I tried to do it when I was traveling, but I kept getting tired walking so far, I don’t know how everyone does it lol. Yeah, you can definitely hold it in the same way as the 2. I actually have the Pocket 2 also and they function pretty much the same.
Settings could have been adjusted on the pocket 3 in some of the scenes. The one major benefit of the iThe phone is the zoom. Of the pocket 3 had that zoom level. What a tool that would be. the pocket was overexposed in your first facial/audio test.
Yeah, I noticed that when I was putting the footage up side by side. I wanted to keep everything at auto though to give them a fair comparison because I assumed a lot of people won’t be going into manual mode. I actually feel like the Pocket 3 overexposes, even when I shoot in D-Log M. Usually when I shoot log, I overexpose, but with the Pocket 3, I find myself having to underexpose the shot.
Nice video. Cute Shiba!
Shiba: This camera was bought for me to record my cute life. I'll tell my owner that next time, the tracking part should focus on me, not you.🤣
Whenever I buy a new camera/phone, the first thing I photo/video is always my dog 📸🐕 🤣
00:16 had me ROLLIN
I’m like 1 step away from making full on Dad Jokes 😭😅
Cute dog! I feel like the DJI is crushing blacks compared to the iphone during the day, but the DJI does better low light.
Spoiled dog 🤣. I know exactly what you’re saying about the shadows though. Recently I’ve been having to raise the mids to try to recover what I can (still relatively new to color correcting). Pulling up on the shadows doesn’t recover anything.
im debating whether should i get the pocket 3 or insta360 x3?
They’re both great cameras, I have the X2 (not the X3). My only problem is that I get lazy to edit videos sometimes and editing 360 videos to a flat video is so much work. That and the low light videos from the X2 aren’t that great. If you could only choose one, I would say the Pocket 3 is the better choice. If you’re doing more action stuff though, easily the 360.
I ordered the Pocket 3 already and it's not because iPhones can best it in some areas - the amount of utilities the Pocket 3 carries is fun. I mean, thing of all the fun stuff you can do with it without drawing attention theat using iPhone or mirrorless camera to shoot will bring. The creator suit is like half price of iPhone 15 Pro Max and can match iPhone in most cases. I needed a 2nd low cost camera as my b-cam (using Canon M50ii) but at this rate, the Dji pocket 3 mini will likely become my main cam and M50ii b-cam... 😂😂
I mainly use the A7SIII to vlog with and on my upcoming trip to Japan, the Pocket 3 is easily going to be my main camera. The tracking on it is my favorite feature of it, especially as a solo creator.
I can’t wait to sell my Pocket 2 so i can upgrade. I’m so impressed with the Pocket 3.
That’s exactly what I did lol, sold the Pocket 2 about a week before the 3 released. The Pocket 2 is still good though and I wouldn’t mind using it if I didn’t have the Pocket 3.
Nice didnt expect the iphone to be worse in a lot of ways.
The iphone is still good tho.
Can you do a video with D LOG on and Aplle Log on?
Yeah, other than the night shots, I think the iPhone held up pretty well. That’s a great idea to do another comparison but with LOG, I’ll probably work on that this week. Should I run the same tests? Is there any other types of tests I missed?
I love both. Both are good.
They’re both great for capturing video. Honestly, it’s hard to find a bad camera these days.
It seems like it goes back and forth. Some times the phone has better color. Some times the iPhone has a brighter image. They both focus differently and it’s hard to tell in the end what’s better
For me the Osmo either won or was at least equal on everything aside from Zoom.
I don’t know, I think it was close one with the tracking test 🤣
All the shots on iPhone was handheld (no gimbal)? Impressive performance from the iPhone unless in extreme low light condition.
Yes everything was handheld. I probably should have mentioned that. I wanted to keep things simple as technically you can buy accessories for either camera and make it a powerhouse. That being said, I’m thinking of redoing these comparisons, but with the iPhone on a gimbal. That would take away that variable and make it a direct image vs image comparison.
Great comparison vid Ralph! Been thinking of getting the sony zve10 but not I'm reconsidering to get the Pocket 3 instead haha
John!! Yeah, if I were you or anyone, I would suggest the Pocket 3 lol. The ZVE10 is still nice, but the Pocket can just do more and is cheaper. I actually have a comparison with the ZV-1 coming out, and the Pocket beats that one too. (I know it’s not the ZVE10, but close enough 😂)
@@ROAMitRALPH Hi Ralph! Just watched the comparison video with the zv1. Man, the quality from the Pocket 3 blows the zv1 out of the water. The pocket 3 footage was waaaay better than I expected :)
@@johnrainiernoble2874 I told you the Pocket is the way to go. And that was with all the settings on Auto, imagine what you can pull out of this when you dial in the settings. And I honestly do love shooting with the ZV1, but it’s going to be hard to bring that out now that I have the Pocket 3 lol. I’m going to try to do a comparison video vs my A7SIII over the weekend (in auto and manual settings). Still not the ZVE10, but close enough again 🤣
Which camera has more accurate colors? Overall, I thought the iPhone had a more pleasing images. I was a little surprised.
Results
Day light - Pocket 3 marginally better
Night - Pocket 3 wins hands down
Audio - Pocket 3 wins hands down
Stability - Pocket 3 wins
Zoom - Iphone 15 wins
You forgot tracking, it was a close one, but I think I’ll have to give it to the Pocket 3 🤣. You definitely nailed it though 🍻
Holly molly. Pocket 3 is killing it in Night Test
Haha, yeah, the iPhone didn’t stand a chance. I’ve actually used the Pocket 2 at night and thought that was good, but then the 3 came out and showed what a bigger sensor at night can do.
for me personally, the pocket 3 looks so GOOD, especially for the price! You get a gimbal, clip microphone and this quality (especially in low light) + tracking etc. The iPhone 15 pro max footage doesnt look as good as the pocket 3 in my opinion, the pocket 3 looks like a super expensive camera.
It’s amazing how well the Pocket 3 looks, especially for the price too. I’ve actually been using more than even my full frame cameras recently.
Thanks for the comparison. After watching your video I decided that I don’t need to shell out $700 for the pocket 3.
Glad it helped you decide. Yeah, it’s a nice camera, but if you know you don’t need it, definitely save the money. I think the iPhone does a great job already and Action mode on the iPhone 15 is amazing.
1:45 why are the iphone so choppy against dji when panning left and right?
I noticed that too when I was editing. Everything was filmed in 24fps and on a 24fps timeline. I’m not sure what happened there.
@ROAMitRALPH Did you change the setting in camera settings NOT go lower than the chosen framerate?
Please test it and come back 🙏 😉
@@ROAMitRALPH subbed
@@yamahaevo I used the stock camera app on the iPhone and I did set “Auto FPS” to off. Is there another setting that I’m missing? I do remember people complaining with the older iPhones about the variable fps when filming, I wonder if there’s something I’m missing.
The Pocket 3 is amazing, but so are flagship phones like the iPHone. I recently did a test of the Pixel 8 pro in lowlight on my channel. I think there's only two main reasons to get the Pocket 3, even if you have a recent flagship mobile. 1. Tracking capabilities. 2. Lowlight performance. I think I prefer the mobiles in good light. Takeaway: Pocket 3 is not perfect. We need something similar to the Pocket 3 with Android or iOS and a flagship processor so it can take advantage of the computational photography, videography and AI. Sony?
What would you suggest for indoor talking head videos. If you don't mind please check out any of the videos in my channel. I am currently using Sony ZV1 (that's my first camera). I would like to buy another for a second angle.
i prefer the pocket 3 quality, the image is darker but it feels more true to life.I dont really like iPhone seems doing a lot of image brighten up? also iPhone image do wobble a lot on movement, I can clearly tell "Oh its shot from a phone camera". I can see if pocket 3 really can fits pocket, i would use it for most photo / video when possible.
You can especially notice when the iPhone footage is side by side like this too, it’s doing too much to the image. And now that you mention it, I’m curious how the Pocket 3 would match up against the iPhone in photos. I might have to do a similar video to this, but with photos.
You see it right away, nothing beats a real gimbal
Definitely! The digital stabilization is still nice to have, but only if you have perfect lighting. And even then, it just doesn’t match a real gimbal.
I noticed the DJI 3 doesn’t do well on overcast days. It looks great at night, sunny evenings etc. but overcast always looks washed out with weak blacks
I did notice that when I’ve been filming recently. For personal use, I always use D-Log M and find myself pulling down on the shadows a little bit more than on other shots.
yeah! more doggie videos!!! also nice comparison... I am impressed by the Pocket 3 lower light image :)
I think doggo gets more likes than I do. I’m just going to show the dog and just voiceover my videos from now on 🐕🤣
@@ROAMitRALPH I 100% support your new doggo-centric channel direction! ;P
Where you at 4k 30 on the iPhone for the night shot?
I shot everything in 4K/24. In hindsight, I probably should have done this in 4K/30 instead.
@@ROAMitRALPHI know on my iPhone 14promax 4k 30 is the best for low light, I don’t have any idea why 24 isn’t as good (it should be better, but it is not).
@@1rcbking oh wow, yeah, you would think 24p would be better since it could let in more light. I need to go outside and test this now. I don’t think the 15 is going to be much different from your 14 in low light performance
its about usecase. Dji Osmo Pocket 3 Camera doesnt shoot proress and there are other reasons why you might pick one over the other. i would see them as complimentary
I agree, different tools for different jobs 🎥
For night shot the pocket 3 because of the 1"sensor , but for the rest the iPhone 15 do the same job and don't forget 85% of people use there little screen phone. Me I use my 27 inch Imac screen to see the difference.
The iPhone definitely can compete against the Pocket 3 aside from the night shots. But you could always just disable the digital stabilizations in the iPhone to help with that. Not really a bad choice with either camera 📷
There were shots where the dji won and others where the iphone did.
There were times where the dji crushed the shadows (ie trees in background) but the iphone exposed them more while maintaining good dynamic range in the sky. Some of the night shots seemed better on the dji especially the selfie video but was the iphone using front or rear facing camera for that? It would make a difference🤔
On the bottom right corner of the video, he said he used front camera for that shot. Using the rear camera would make a big difference I agree.
The dji pocket 3 seems to be a bit under exposed even in day light. The colors look a bit stronger/vibrant on the iphone, so the pocket looks a little dark in the shadows. Nothing that manual settings cant correct. The low light shots seemed more grainy on the iphone for most of the shots
@@boxchamp6858 that is natural colour turd must be iPhone user
For that night selfie shot, I was using the front camera. Definitely should have used the rear camera, that would have made a big difference.
@@ROAMitRALPH it would of been better but actually, you did what most people are going to be doing, use the selfie cam. In real life situation, people are not going to turn their phones away from them to use the better camera, it is what it is. Thats one of the reasons I would rather have the pocket 3 than an iphone 15. Before i used worry to get the latest iphone, now i still have the iphone 12, and honestly I prefer on getting the pocket 3 than a newer iphone.
It's like comparing apples to oranges. Both cams should be bought for different uses and or reasons.
Definitely agree. It’s hard to find a camera that takes bad images these days. Now it’s all about the other features they can do. Both are two different tools for getting the job done.
for the zoom, probably should have done the iphone to the 40mm if possible
That actually would have been a more fair comparison. I’ll have to note that for next time 👍🏼
Nice video
Thanks! 👍
If i were a vlogger who talks to the camera most od the time, id choose the OP3. The bokeh is great due to the 1 inch sensor, form factor is fantastic and is easy to use. Vlogging qith a phone is tedious in comparison.
The only issue i have with the OP3 is the zoom. With any ohone yiu have 3 l3nses and can shoot a wide vairuty of shots but youre quite limited with the OP3. Id hope the next version will have optical zoom or put cameras instead of one. Thatll be cool.
100% agree with you. The Pocket is perfect for those trying to vlog. It would be interesting if DJI put their 3 lens cameras on a Pocket (like the one on their Mavic 3 Pro). Would make it bigger, but I think that would definitely make it 10x better.
@@ROAMitRALPH ohh yeah. They already have it. A Pocket Pro with 3 lenses or even 2 (wide and zoom) and a slap on filter for ultra wide. And regular Pocket with 1 lens for more budget conscious people or those who don't need the zoom. Easy.
@@Whatreally123 actually yeah, a simple 2 lens would probably work best for a handheld camera as a Pro version then just the regular wide lens for the basic version. Should we patent this before DJI gets to it 😂
@@ROAMitRALPH fingers crossed that they'll probably do it in the future. They have done it with the Mini 3 dronee as well and will do it for the Mini 4 drone as well. 👍👍
Can you please m
Make dji osmo action 4 vs pocket 3
I can definitely work on that. Hopefully I can get it out by next week 🤞
Can you share me your video setting for DJI Pocket 3 to shot this video?
Of course, for the Pocket, I filmed at 4K/24fps. Manual exposure, shutter speed at 1/50 and ISO 50-1600. Normal color profile, I suggest using D-Log M though and using the LUT on DJI’s website to color correct (let me know if you need help with that). And auto white balance. I prefer to manually set the white balance, but for this test, I kept it on auto. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you
the new camera seems ok - but carrying another device, walking around with another $700 bucks of gear, in addition to a $1k cell phone that shoots nearly as well and is just as easy or easier to use - all with footage that I would probably not splice into a professional video - I don't know...Prior to this camera, I haven't seen heavy content on all the amazing videos and great reasons to purchase a 1" sensor camera. The non replaceable battery is a real buzz kill too.
I was really hoping they would have a replaceable battery this time. I guess that’s why they pack the Creator Combo with that extended battery, but it’s not really the same. But you’re right, it’s tough to pick this up when you already have a great camera that’s already in your pocket.
MAIN ADVANTAGE:
iPhone - It's already in your pocket.
Pocket 3 - Image quality, low light, motion tracking and being separate from your cellphone.
Yeah, the fact that the iPhone is always with you is a big advantage for it. And the Pocket 3 is just an amazing all around camera. It’s great problem to have for us consumers 📷
Pocket will be better due to the 1 inch full frame CMOS sensor against iPhone 1/1.56 sensor. We see the higher resolution and clarity out of the pocket especially in lowlight . Pocket is a video camera and IPhone is 48 mb photo camera with suffers from a digital look that’s get processed by a powerful chip and software but still the best phone shooter in the business.
Would be better to see how they stand up against each other’s in 10 bit D-log m v/s 10 bit pro res. I think we will improvement from DJI in future updates and 3rd party lens accessories. Basically better optics will be what we see in 2-3 years from now when the pocket 4 is coming. But it killed the 1 inch sector completely in the price range. You have to spend 2500 $ to get something better optically. And they still need a heavy lens, gimbal and won’t track you either and other things.
Not really we can see they look similar with different sensors
auto or manual settings ?
Everything was on auto settings for both cameras
My friend, I have to admire you for getting up there and producing videos. What a pity, I was hoping you were going to be the first one to do a comparison with the title you gave it, but unfortunately you did not compare Apple log with the best version of what the pocket three can produce. I don't mean to be harsh, but I think you completely missed what you title said.
Not harsh at all. I was just trying to make a simple comparison as I assumed most people wouldn’t be taking either of these cameras out of auto let alone know how to color correct. But it does appear as though a few would like to see the comparison of Apple LOG vs D-Log M (even though not a true LOG). So I’ll probably work on that. Do you think I should detail the color correcting I do in FCP or just go straight into a before/after shot?
With the iPhone you could do many things you could even make a phone call and see the other person😂
As an introvert, I try to avoid interactions as much as possible 🤣. Definitely can do more with a phone though. The Pocket is nice to have to save the battery on the iPhone by not using it lol.
Tracking was a close one. 😂
I didn’t think anything could beat the iPhone tracking and it looks like the Pocket 3 just BARELY beat it 🤣🤣
nice
Thanks. Hope the video was helpful for you 🍻
iPhone has pro res and multiple focal length. The pocket 3 wins on price point but the iPhone is more than a camera and the work flow on the phone is amazing. Shoot edit and post . Pocket you have to transfer to laptop or iPad and edit .
The iPhone definitely wins with its multiple focal lengths and uncompressed files. I actually switched from Android to iPhone because it worked better with my workflow since I edit in FCP
@@ROAMitRALPHcan you compare pocket 3 to Samsung s23 or s23 ultra
@@ROAMitRALPH same I can’t stand android file system and it was such a mess to find videos on my phone to transfer . I went from s9 galaxy to 14 pro max and I love it . Might get the 15 pro max too .
@@Sardify my buddy is using the S23 Ultra, I’ll try to borrow his. Do you think the same kind of tests? Anything that I missed?
@@LerLoons hahaha yes! I was using ASTRO to sort my files and it was still a pain trying to find everything. Especially if you used third party camera apps, forget it 😂
You forget that you can adjust the Osmo Pocket 3, he has the settings of the Osmo Pocket too over sharp! You can set it that you have it not to sharp and blurry.
Yeah, definitely been learning from everyone (especially in the comments) on how to get the most out of the Pocket. I now shoot with the sharpness at -2 and the noise reduction at -1. It definitely looks better that default.
please upload DNG files from Pocket 3
I can do that. Any specific files you’re wanting to look at?
There is no reason you have to have pocket 3, but you do have to have the iPhone. I’ll take having just the 15 pro max vs. having to have both.
Oh same. If I could only have one, definitely the iPhone. The Pocket 3 is good if you want to splurge for an extra tool, but you can definitely get the job done with just the 15 Pro Max
Would love to see samsung here 8k telephoto full 200 megapixel etc.
And google.
My buddy does have the S23 Ultra I could borrow for this comparison. Do you think I should run the same tests? Anything I missed?
@@ROAMitRALPH yes if possible and any test the tests the unique features of the Samsung system and dekt
only good thing from iphone is people tend to less being aggressive on person who holding phone and try to make footage on streets.
Pretty good phone camera!
The iPhone holds up pretty well
@@ROAMitRALPH I do not know if I should buy the Iphone 15 Pro Max or the Pocket 3. I currently use a GoPro 9 Black with Media Mod and I have an Iphone 11 Pro Max. I had the Pocket 2 and sent it back... as it wasn't perfect. But the Pocket 3 is perfect... but the Iphone can do the same haha... so?
@@uthixo that’s a tough one. I daily use the 12 Pro Max and 15 Pro Max. I don’t think there’s a need to upgrade from the 12, but I’ve never used the 11. And the Pocket 3 is my favorite camera right now. Even over my full frame cameras. What are you filming mostly? Is the GoPro/media mod doing most of your filming right now (that’s not a bad setup)?
@@ROAMitRALPH I am recording cars. Doing car reviews and recording car events. At those events I really miss a zoom. As cars on the racetrack are far away... the GoPro with Media Mod works very well... but I just reviewed footage with the Pocket 2 that I made and then my GoPro videos... the Pocket 2 made a much smoother and clearer picture. Both were in 1080p/30fps. Especially when I move the GoPro fast, the Pocket is in advantage, as he slowly moves the camera, no matter if I turn it fast.
Really good is that the GoPro is easily hang around my neck and I can use QuickCapture super easily. I wonder how fast the Pocket 3 turns on and records? In one video someone showed if you open the screen and instantly press record it does not work. You have to wait a few seconds. But Quickcapture in the GoPro also takes about 3-5 Seconds. :/ mhhm
Do you also use your Iphones to record?
Audio isn't that bad in them, they also have a comparable microfon to the Pocket without the extra DJI Mic.
It's very difficult. I just think especially on race events it kind of looks unprofessional and stupid to walk around with your phone to record haha and the Pocket 3 is superb for these situations... you have the zoom, excellent audio, excellent picture... really good. But as it is much bigger now... you could also hold the phone haha
I also have a DJI Osmo 3... but this is HUGE then... and you can not put it in your pocket haha
Now the same but in log profile 😂
I was thinking that too. Do you think it would be better if I waited until I got ND filters for both so that I could manually dial in my settings for that “cinematic” look. Or just do the same type of tests, but in LOG and color corrected?
From my purposes, I’m kind of regretting ordering my Osmo pocket three as I have the iPhone, and this footage is very similar in my opinion
I definitely get what you’re saying. And it’s much easier to pull out your iPhone cause it’s always with you. And as long as you know what you’re filming, it’s easy to get some great stable shots with it too.
@@ROAMitRALPH you know the other thing I was thinking about is I am a Wedding Videographer who often uses my phone for controlling my drone and controlling my lighting system in the venue so maybe it would be good to have a separate device to take behind-the-scenes footage as well as Vlog footage and not have to text my phone too much
@@riisparklover oh, the pocket is perfect for you then lol. Especially with the tracking on it, so you can just set it up and have it do all the work. My buddy is a wedding photographer and he used to setup a 360 camera for his BTS stuff, but he switched to the Pocket3 because the image is just so much better out of it (and he doesn’t have to edit it like 360 footage)
Make some photo comparisons please 😭
I’m actually working on that right now lol. Doing the Pocket 3 vs iPhone 15, ZV1ii, and A7RIII. It’ll be a blind test to see if people can see a difference.
@@ROAMitRALPH Cool!! Please make sure u try to make a comparison of portrait mode on all 3 of em. Ik there isn't a portrait mode on pocket 3 but i assume we can take nice pictures with that depth of field.
Pocket 3 for the win, and I also feel the need to mention that the zoom glitches when the iPhone switches lenses. Nobody needs that.
Definitely a win for the Pocket 3. I did notice the iPhone jumping around when it switches lenses, it’s not very smooth.
The lightweight camera with small footprint, clear and stable video, the nice low light shooting blinded me for some time -
but then I realised that as a family vacation shooter this camera is USELESS if it does not offer option of infinite focus.
If I cannot get my subject and the surroundings ALL in focus, then that defeats the whole concept of vacation shooting -
the bokeh effect (background blurring) is a massive hindrance than of benefit.
Maybe if you are showcasing a product or person. Or trying cinematic storytelling - you may find it useful.
But for millions of simple vacationers like me - who just desired crisp super stable video while travelling, taking in all of the surroundings - this lack of universal focus is a deal breaker.
Lucky I stopped just short of making payment for it.
Insta360 just teased their next camera that looks like something that would be perfect for vacation shooters. The low light on it looks like it's going to be really good, I'm assuming it's using AI. That might be the camera you're looking for. I'm definitely looking at it too lol.
It looks like pocket 3 combines multiple frames for a single target auto exposure, it balances the highlight and boost the shadow area
It does look like that. I wasn’t even using HLG either, just normal picture profile. I’m actually curious now how the Pocket’s HLG will compete with the iPhone’s HDR
OP3 is crystal clear at night very impressive!!
It’s really good even in the low light. The gimbal helps make it so easy to watch.
The iPhone was handheld?
It was on a handheld tripod. The same setup like in the thumbnail
I wonder when Apple will make the front and rear cameras 1 inch. Apple iPhone 16?
They definitely need to do something with the front camera, it’s terrible.
Osmo pocket 3 is much more cleaner n wide
Definitely agree. You can go actually go wider with the iPhone with the wide lens which makes it 13mm, but then the Pocket has a wide angle lens too to make it 15mm. I figured for the comparison, it was better to just use the main camera on the iPhone. But yeah, I still prefer the image out of the Pocket 3
