I forgot to mention that when I'm out and about Vlogging, I don't bother with the mic unless I'm in a busy restaurant or shooting far from the camera. The internal mic is perfectly fine for Vlogging on the go and makes it a more simple setup vs always using the DJI Mic 2.
@@MikeeRogers I’m going to give it a try, and see what I can do 🤣. Thanks again, I love and appreciate. Choose. Happy over sad. Great! Peace and blessings Mike ✊🏿
Hi Mikee! I have been watching your vlogs for more than a year now and I just wanted to say congrats for this collab, your videos are always so cozy yet informative ! You deserve to work with the brands you love and I totally see why DJI contacted you ! xx
We bought a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 several months ago when we felt like it was time to graduate from our iPhone for shooting. We did a lot of research and this is the camera we wanted (we got the Creator combo)! We couldn't be happier with it, for all the reasons you mentioned. Love how easily the mics synch up to the camera. Our next vlog is all about gift ideas for men over 50, and - yup- this camera is one of our recommendations!
I love love love how all of you are sharing that you have similar feelings about the camera! And I’m excited for your next vlog! I did a gift guide last year and plan to do one this year too so thanks for the reminder haha. HTG to you guys if you celebrate 💙
I am the wrong person to ask about cameras because I am that friend that says yes. lol. BUT in all fairness, the tracking seems like it would super useful for you!
ahhh Mikee! I literally just talked myself out of this camera and using my iPhone instead - now I want this camera again lol. Congrats on the sponsorship!
My bad Brian lol but if you need any help or tips with it, you know where to find me :) But the phone is a good place to start! And you can always grow your gear from there!
Amazing sponsorship, well done Mikee. This camera looks so sleek. Currently vlogging with my phone, but food for thought for later maybe.Thank you for sharing x
Thanks for the great content 👏🏿 appreciate the passion u share, congratulations on the sponsorship from DJI. When ur film, r u filming in the normal mode? R u using the pro function? Ur footage looks good, that’s y I ask. Plus it shows and tell me, what’s my excuse! Stop over thinking,and have fun. just push record already! 😂🤦🏿♂️ thanks again,peace and blessings ✊🏿.
Hey Kenny... puth that record button bro! haha. Yea I shoot in normal color mode, auto exposure and wb. I do have a lut I use for my videos but it's very minimal.
Thank you Mina! Love you for always supporting even my tech videos! ❤️❤️❤️ Hope you have a happy thanksgiving and are able to spend some QT time with your son for the holidays ⚓︎🛳️
Ahhhh ❤ so happy for you!!! You deserve this sponsorship! I actually bought this because of youuuu ahahaha so happy you got a sponsorship from DJI! 🎉 I really this one myself so thanks Mikee for sharing!!!
Mikee! I recently found your channel and binged your Japan trip vlogs today. My husband and I both were enjoying your content (and he's not even into vlogs!) Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing the review of this camera too. I'm looking into getting an upgrade from my Canon G7X (it was great while it lasted...). I think I will be going with Sony but I am shopping around. - Love from Orange County!
Hey Brii! Aww thank you for the Japan binge (and thank your husband too haha). I know quite a few people who have gone from the Canon G line to Sony and have been happy.
Hi Mikee! My husband and I recently found you on TH-cam and have been binge watching your videos lol. We’re from sd too (San Marcos), so it’s pretty cool watching someone local. Saving this video for my husband and I to watch together after work! ☺️
I've never tried editing on an iPad but I'm so use to keyboard and mouse I don't think I'd like it. But I know the iPads now are so fast it could handle anything and it would just be a matter of getting use to editing on it.
What an amazing sponsorship 🎉 Congratulations! As I mentioned before, I found your channel a year ago when you uploaded your first video on the Osmo Pocket 3 and it was awesome! I was looking for someone who was actually using the Osmo for vlogging at that time, and your video sold me. Osmo Pocket 3 is my A-camera and I agree with everything you said from the ease of use, quality, and function. I love your content... keep pushing Friend!!
Great video Mike ! I was wondering what is the LUT you put on top of your clip ? And how do you achieve the ''faded look'' I feel like I just can't achieve this kind of look ..
LOVE this brand sponsorship and full circle moment for you Mikee, cheers to many more opportunities! ✨ totally agree, the DJI performance in low light is surprisingly so good! cute backdrop, the figurine collection is thriving in the background! 😁
I shot in normal color but I think I'm going to venture into D-Log to check it out! I don't know much about colorgrading. I just slap a lut i found haha (at 30% opacity). Oh and I drop my highlights because I usually do that in all my photos too. I feel like that helps soften the look a bit.
Congratulations on the sponsorship, Mikee!!! I totally agree, I have other cameras, but I find myself always grabbing my DJI, especially when I am filming outside it helps get rid of the fear of vlogging in public. Great video 💕
Congrats on the sponsorship!! 🎉 I love my DJI pocket 3 specially when I’m vlogging outside. So I 💯% agree with you, this is a great camera to start vlogging with🙂
That's a gem in camera world! Yeah) I love it also and have it for 3 months or so, but filmed only 2 talking head videos. But... You inspired me to take my camera everywhere. I should try this. I have a question. Did you ever had this imposter syndrome like "i have nothing to show", "i don't know what to film" or smth. Even if your lifestyle is full of enjoyable moments, I just don't know sometimes how to handle this and sometimes I also don't feel confident when I'm filming with my friends around, like I'm doing smth stupid haha If you dad this things I would be grateful for your advice. Thank you!
Glad I inspired you to take it out in the wild! I talk about imposter syndrome quite often! The Vlog before this one, I actually mentioned it. It's the video titled "Vlogging like I have a million subscribers" I say in the video that not a Vlog goes by where I question why I do this or how I think "why do people care". Think about checking it out but to answer your question, I absolutely have imposter syndrome and you're not alone!
Love your channel-I just hit that subscribe button faster than a DJI Pocket 3 flies off the shelves! Speaking of which, I was this close to snagging the Pocket 3, but then I thought, “Wait a minute, I already have a DJI Pocket 1 that’s still alive and kicking after all these years-and I got it used for just $150!” Why fix what isn’t broken, right? Instead, I went for the Canon V10. I know, I know-it’s one of those “love it or hate it” cameras, but so far, I’m in the love camp. Ask me again in a few weeks, though; I might change teams. Camera teams that is….. The Pocket 3 is obviously a crowd favorite, but for now, I’m sticking with my budget-friendly, still-ticking classics. Cheers! ❤️🌈🙏🏾
Thanks Sean! Hey, I actually find the Canon V10 intriguing! Maybe I'll pick one up to try out if I can find second hand for a great deal! Or maybe I shouldn't because I have way to much gear 😂
Your first Osmo Pocket 3 video is how I discovered your channel last year! Question: what settings do you use? Do you shoot in D-log M? I don't think I'm getting the quality out of it that I know it's capable of!
Full circle! I'm just shooting in auto everything but since I shot the Ace Pro 2 in their log profile and color grading was as simple as downloading and using the LUT on their website, I'm gonna start shootingin D-log M with this. But all the clips in this video are in auto exposure/wb and normal color. I also bought some ND fitlers which I think really help when outdoors in bright light, which also weren't used for these clips.
Hey you! It can be used with a phone and you do need the receiver (I always get mixed up with the names but transmitter is the mic itself which seems backwards to me lol). They have an adapater for it but I beleive you can also connect via bluetooth (though the audio quality degrades). They just released a DJI mic mini which cost less and from what i've heard, quality is just as good!
Are you sure you're the one doing the pushing in and pulling out??? LOL... Jokes aside, I'm obsessed with your Adidas polo. I would take it if you don't want it again BTW.
Hi Mikee! Came on this video to give you DJI love but also ask a question (you are the first one who piqued me to this camera). How is the battery life? That’s the one thing holding me back from this. For shooting a day through Japan, for instance… I feel like I need to be charging it every hour as I hear battery life is only 60 mins.
I saw you mentioned it in Japan - you were using the battery pack there? Wow and it lasted all day? I feel like I record every small thing mine might die real quick 🫠
Hey! Yea I was using the extended battery grip and it lasted me a whole day out - granted... I didn't shoot a TON. But what I normally would have with any camera out and about. I find the battery life excellent for what I do. With that said, if you do get the camera and feel you need more juice, you can always carry a small extenral battery pack. It's fast charging so it charges up quite fast. Or in a pinch, find an outlet somewhere and I believe it charges to 80% in about 15 minutes!
@@MikeeRogers Thanks for the constant thoughtful replies Mikee! You truly are the best community builder on this app, it keeps me and my hubby (also named Michael) comin' back for more. Cheers to a VERY successful all-in creator 2025 for you, my friend!!! Thank you for being you!
Hi Mikee, once again I’m late for your vlog….. how are your girls and Donny doing? I hope you and your loved ones have a blessed and Wonderful Thanksgiving!! Till next time ✌🏼✌🏼
I'm listening :p I'm mostly using iphone, I have retired my DSLR (I got exhausted w/ all the gears and lenses especially when I travel, not even bothered to use Gimbal - since Iphone has a great stabilizer....) lol but this looks interesting!
Ok you fooled me with just using an iPhone, I could have swore I thought you had this camera haha. Nice job! I def can see this adding to your videos though with the active tracking!
I'm trying to capture the feeling of old home videos like the big camcorders. You know those unfiltered moments of awkwardness, laughter, and spontaneity. Do you think I could get that with this? Or do you think those times are gone?
I think you're better off grabbing an actual camcorder to get that style of footage with the fast zoom ins. This camera wouldn't be good for that style.
I was excited when I first got the original DJ and quickly lost interest as I used it. I found it to be too delicate, hard to move about the features. My Lumix G100 has been terrific.
Hey, sorry to hear! I throw mine in my bag and treat it like all my other cameras (when the cover is on). Figure this thing is meant to be used so that's what I do without worrying much.
Every single camera brand has sponsored content on TH-cam. But can I ask you what camera would you would recommend for beginner vloggers over the pocket 3 and why?
