I like my iPhone but LOVE my Pocket 3. I walked the Camino Frances from St Jean Pied de Port to Finistere between April - June this year and used both devices, but the Pocket 3 was much more convenient & instantly produced superb footage and clean audio (thanks to the additional mic). Both are great but as a dedicated camera - the DJI Pocket 3 is superior with VASTLY less faffing around.
@TrailerYacht, your comment is very helpful as I will be walking the Camino next April and plan to document with my Pocket 3 and Mic 2. Did you find yourself needing the additional charging handle or other external battery bank along the route? I am packing so light weight, I don’t want to carry even an ounce more than necessary. Thanks in advance for your insights.
What a phenomenal video. This is exceptionally well done with a lot of detail and real world outdoor tests. This puts many other (larger) channels to shame. I just found your channel but I’m anxious to see more of your videos (Nikon Z8 owner)
It’s definitely really hard to judge pure image quality on a phone screen.. but when it comes to editing 4K footage on a proper computer, I would never use iPhone, really .. that computational videography you mention in the review is precisely what makes feel the footage so artificial. I just bought a pocket 3 a few weeks ago and I’m blown away how it’s capable of generating pretty “cinematic” footage (sorry for using the C word .. ) .. or at least I would call it “natural looking” with that slight depth of field.. I always shoot D-log M and yet it’s not as flat a slog3 for example it has a quite impressive dynamic range. I also agree on what you said about preferring using a dedicated device for filming than using a phone that well , you use all the time for communication, navigation, weather, notes.. you name it .. I also the pocket 3 for Timelapse’s in movement .. And also , for file size only .. just for that .. I think the iPhone is totally useless.. so yes, for me it would be pocket 3 all the way
Comments on videography only - I own the DJI OP3, and I love it. I even mix the footage with a Canon C300 M3 and get away with it. I do not like the “computational photography” of the iPhone, and I think it is almost useless when you mix it in post with other higher-end cameras. The iPhone just looks digital, while the Pocket gets a more natural look every time.
I agree with you. the shadow lift on the iPhone to give it that pho HDR look drives me crazy. When shooting in apple log you get no sharpening and a MUCH better image to work with but the files are HUGE
iPhone 16 Pro is great for a social media. However - it is difficult to consider it as the main camera. The sensor size matters. I have purchased iPhone 16 Pro yet 3 weeks ago, and compared with OP3 in different low-light conditions. Also, iPhone has a very annoying camera crashes.
What are the camera crashes? I have the 16 pro max & haven’t had any problems. I, also, have the pocket 3. Pro max I carry everywhere, obviously. Pocket 3 is for planned shoots.
The iPhone is going to make great videos for the large majority of people. But I feel like people who own dedicated cameras like the Pocket 3 actually make better videos because they probably have the talent and experience. At the end of the day, the person filming is the determining factor, not the camera itself. And someone who takes the money and effort to purchase a camera instead of a phone probably has that experience and know-how to get the nice shot. Great video. Always jealous of your scenery!
If I were to purchase either one, I would probably get the pocket three. I only do video for fun but I think would be the most useful. Built in gimbal would be hard to beat.
Best thing about the Pocket 3is that it encourages to shoot only. No ads. No notifications. Nothing. iPhone has a bigger display and can shoot for much longer but compared to a regular recording device, no contest.
Hi, I have a question about the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. Why does the file size of a video change during transfers? For example, a video file may show as 500 MB in the Mimo app, increase to 510 MB after being downloaded to a phone, and then decrease to 180 MB when transferred to a computer. Similarly, why does a file that starts at 500 MB decrease to only 100 MB when AirDropped from the Mimo app or a mobile device to a system? What causes these size changes? 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I really enjoy your videos. It’s incredible how you get to take off in a helicopter and fly wherever you want, testing out cameras and drones. That sounds like a dream life to me. 😃
well almost everytime it's because I am working for that helicopter company to capture video or photo assets for them. They are usually nice enough to let me also do some filming for my TH-cam channel along the way! I WISH I had my own helicopter lol
I own both devices and as much as I want to just carry and use one device, I find myself drawn to the Pocket 3 for image quality and simplicity of just turning it on and recording without needing to open or adjust software, add ND filters to my phone, or fiddle with any extra bits to make the iPhone do what I want it to do. I also find that battery charging, file storage, and overheating in full sun are real world considerations for the iPhone, where the Pocket 3 doesn’t run into these issues as readily. That said, I don’t really enjoy filming with the Pocket 3. Its mechanical gimbal and swivel lens don’t feel natural to me, but when I review the footage, it’s always pleasing to my eye. So for now, the Pocket 3 is my primary go to device over the iPhone 16 Pro, Insta360 Go3, and DJI Action cameras. If I only have one of those on me, then I will film with what I have, otherwise I will intentionally pack the Pocket 3 and Mic 2 for a day of filming. Thanks for making this comparison video. I honestly can’t get enough of them. The addiction is real 😉
Nice comparison! i still prefer the Osmo Pocket 3, it has a more natural look in terms of sharpness and colors. the advantage of the 16 pro is the versatility of the camera. If I only did instagram, I would choose the iphone, but since I make youtube videos myself, the OP3 is my choice.
10:51 is there a way to make the Pocket 3 focus on the entire scene like the Iphone is doing? Detail on the iphone looks so much better even though it has a smaller sensor, and it's all because of the deeper depth of field. I want to get the pocket 3 to make car chase scenes for documentary style youtube videos but I am afraid it will always make the subject (the car) in focus while everything else out of focus. I want to avoid that effect and would want the entire scene in focus. I want to get the pocket 3 because of the motorized gimble functionality where it's able to follow a moving subject automatically without operator input.
because of physics there is no way to keep everything in focus with the pocket 3 IF your subject is close to the lens of the pocket 3. you would need to be at least 5-6ft away to keep the background in focus
Just for fun it would be interesting to compare the Mavic 3, with these cameras because a lot of people are now using the Mavic 3 hand held on a bracket to film or take pictures in a verity of projects. Maybe because it is stable, and the big sensor is better than some DSLR cameras, therefore the Mavic 3 may reduce the amount of cameras required on a particular project.
I have used my old crashed Phantom like that. Surprising how good the footage is, but you still have to faff about connecting DJI apps on your phone - it gets annoying rather than grab & go. Separately recording & synchronising audio in post is another step & gets a bit tedious - BUT HEY - the best camera is the one you own or have with you.
Just an FYI the Pocket 3 also has some amazing Timelapse AND Motionlapse features that can help add variety to a video. They work really well and are all done in camera.
Thank you for your informative content. Would be interesting to see one day a comparison using the Pocket 3 vs an IPhone 16 pro using the DJI Mobile 6. As far as I know will the DJi mimo app switch off the iPhone’s digital stabilisation increasing the quality during movement. Thx
Great comparison and the effort put into this video, super cool locations. The audio output from mic 2 when connected to Pocket 3 sounds a lot fuller and better compared to mic 2 connected to iPhone? Any reason why thats happening or anyway to improve the audio when connected to iPhone?
iPhone adds a lot of sharpness - smartphone sharpness - and in low light it can't compete. HDR processing, e.g. in the scene with sun in background and thus your face in shadows, on iPhone or any other phone of today surely gives you more "shadow details". This sounds good first, but truth is this image processing looks rather fake. Don't like it at all. They're overdoing it these days, but maybe Insta generation doesn't care, only some older folks with fotographic background ... Unfortunately DJI did enhance this in Action5 compared to Action4 as well (though not as drastic as iPhone), so maybe it'll be good idea to keep Pocket 3 when Pocket 4 is launched. But as always the best cam is the one you have available - so it's a good thing smartphones have come this far. And of course maybe the biggest advantage is to have 3 different lenses on a pro model phone these days. Shooting on an action cam or Pocket 3 is quite limited as there is almost always something interesting happening you need a tele lense for
The weakest point of the Pocket 3 is that it is NOT AT ALL waterproof. On Camino I used a "Scotty Makes Stuff" case for the Pocket 3, and kept it clipped to the sternum strap of my pack. Very reassuring as it makes it hard to hit the gimbal - not impossible, just hard to do it. I knocked over & even dropped my Pocket 3 a few times, and all was OK. However I do a lot of sailing - which seriously limits the Pocket 3 and makes me extremely glad I bought the DJI refresh package as a back up. I immerse my iPhone all the time in salt water & use it instead of the Pocket 3 anytime it is raining.
Fanastic comparison & just what I was looking for - loving the real world outdoor tests! What iphone support system are you using? mount / gimbal or holder?? Great video comparison again - only wish for a touch more 4K 120 slo mo / lowlight parts :)
@@JakeSloan Wow - testament to the iphone stabilisation then hah, I do need a small holder for my phone off the case - seems to really help - the chopper shots were great !! Keep up the awesome videos :)
I talk about this in my video on my channel "Почему я не снимаю видео на смартфон." ("Why I don't shoot videos on my smartphone.") It's a pity that you won't understand because of the language.
Your videos are incredible. It answered a lot of questions and I'm inclined to buy the DJI OPC 3, but I'm going to Tromsø-Norway and would like to get the best results in photos and videos in the Northern Lights. I would like to know if DJI OPC 3 would be better for this scenario?
Final thoughts - this video shows just how capable the iPhone can be as a video camera - however, the need to use external memory card is a lot of faffing and likely risky if you bump or damage the cable or card reader in the middle of shooting. To me this is a little unfair to the Pocket 3. I'd like to see a comparison with the iPhone using it's internal storage & normal camera app like I used in Spain. My footage & images are great - and I didn't fill the phone in 8 minutes !
Sorry I should have specified that some of this was internal and some was external. If you are t shooting pro res log then you can shoot a TON of footage on a 256gb iPhone and not have to worry about storage.
2:52 vs 4:52 still, where is the wider angle of the field of view. your examples contradict each other. If they started comparing under the same conditions, then they should have continued to do so. as a result, we see a different jumping angle of the lens field of view everywhere this is not a camera comparison. this is a comparison of how your editing program enlarges/reduces the image.
Bull… 2:52 has no wide angle lens on the pocket 3 and is using thw 24mm lens on the iPhone. 4:52 is using the ultra wide camera on the iPhone and wide angle lens attached to the pocket…
Im a social media content creator - insta FB Tiktok not YT. The P3 doesn't really add anything that my phone cant do. I will very occasionally put some phone clips in but not often. If you are posting to YT, I can see why it could be handy.
The thing i love about the Pocket 3 is that I can record video without any annoying notifications. Plus, when using it with the dji mic 2, the Noise Reduction and internal record works. Those don't work with a smartphone or connected to a non-dji camera; i can't get them to work on my Samsung S23 Ultra or Insta360 X3. So if I wanna use it with those devices, I have to disconnect the Mic 2 from either device and use it standalone. Also with the Pocket 3, magnetic filters to add ND to add motion blur whereas with an iPhone, it needs a special case to add any kinds of filters
@@jonahkaiguam I have no problems with my DJI Mike system on my iPhone. It is crystal clear. I am sure there are advantages with both systems. For me, I have an iPhone with a brilliant camera. Some of the galaxy phones are pretty good also. I don’t really feel the need, for another camera system.
@@Steal_ex Interesting attack on something as benign as a camera gimbal. Perhaps you would like to explain yourself, as I feel you are the one with issues. 🤪🤣😂🤣😂
Seems more & more are going with the iphone. Great in Depth Comparison.. I have to say iphone for the win. I have the iphone 14 pro max i ordered it with 1TB. I'm happy with it. Nice informative video Jake Thanks
@@BobCaseyAerial , You commented on me, so I wrote a good comment ) I am an atheist, and I don't follow what's going on on the other side of the planet. But I really feel sorry for those people who think that there is a camera in a smartphone )))
Here you pray to God, not to a stone in the sand. So, shooting on a smartphone is like eating with a shoe, and praying to a stone in the sand. There are special cameras for shooting video, they are specially made to be comfortable to hold, they have a convenient location of buttons for control.

8:07 what is the camera giving your jacket the correct color. Bc both are very different !

Yes it does. The iPhone also has a great Timelapse feature
DJI SHOULD THINK ABOUT MAKING THE NEW POCKET 4 WITH VARIOUS CAMERA LENSES, SPECIALLY THE TELEPHOTO ONE, THEN IT WOULD EASILY BEAT IPHONES IMO
I hope they do exactly that!
Correction: at 4:21 the pro max, and pro both have 5x, there is no longer a 3x optical camera in the 16 lineup.
if you get the regular iPhone 16 you only get a 2x tele camera...
Get both - Why choose

great choice
The weakest point of the Pocket 3 is that it is NOT AT ALL waterproof. On Camino I used a "Scotty Makes Stuff" case for the Pocket 3, and kept it clipped to the sternum strap of my pack. Very reassuring as it makes it hard to hit the gimbal - not impossible, just hard to do it. I knocked over & even dropped my Pocket 3 a few times, and all was OK. However I do a lot of sailing - which seriously limits the Pocket 3 and makes me extremely glad I bought the DJI refresh package as a back up. I immerse my iPhone all the time in salt water & use it instead of the Pocket 3 anytime it is raining.
yeah I cover that in the video, while I have had mine out in light rain I would never use it in heavy rain or underwater
Which mic r you using for video capture? Thanks from Afghanistan
the DJI Mic 2
May I ask which one has more accurate colours?
to me the pocket 3 in most shots
Are you recording to an external SSD? If so, which one?
for this I just used a v90 sd card but not all the shots, just the ones during the Hike, the helicopter ride was all internal
Feels wrong that the iPhone wasn’t tested with the Blackmagic camera app. So much more potential there
Did you watch the video? It was… not every shot but at least 25% of them were
Fanastic comparison & just what I was looking for - loving the real world outdoor tests! What iphone support system are you using? mount / gimbal or holder??

One major difference is..... if you trash a Pocket 3, you don't lose half your life, just saying.
thats the truth!
I talk about this in my video on my channel "Почему я не снимаю видео на смартфон." ("Why I don't shoot videos on my smartphone.")
It's a pity that you won't understand because of the language.
The image on the iPhone looks way too sharp.
yeah it is when shot in normal color, shooting in log is much better
iPhone ergonomics can’t rally match the p3. For extended video p3. For casual photos and short videos the iPhone is fine.
Agreed
To record with iPhone 16 Pro when you walk and be at the level of DJI Osmo Pocket 3, you need the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 stabilizer.
yep!
Main difference one is a camera the other one is a phone

Your videos are incredible. It answered a lot of questions and I'm inclined to buy the DJI OPC 3, but I'm going to Tromsø-Norway and would like to get the best results in photos and videos in the Northern Lights. I would like to know if DJI OPC 3 would be better for this scenario?
for that I would 100% use the iPhone. the pocket 3 will not be able to capture video or photos of the aurora unless you only use the Timelapse mode

still, where is the wider angle of the field of view. your examples contradict each other.
If they started comparing under the same conditions, then they should have continued to do so.
as a result, we see a different jumping angle of the lens field of view everywhere
this is not a camera comparison. this is a comparison of how your editing program enlarges/reduces the image.
Bull… 2:52 has no wide angle lens on the pocket 3 and is using thw 24mm lens on the iPhone. 4:52 is using the ultra wide camera on the iPhone and wide angle lens attached to the pocket…
DJI Pocket 3 Pro is way to sharp. I think that must be turned down.
you can turn it down if you wish
Sharpness can be adjusted in OP3

Those don't work with a smartphone or connected to a non-dji camera; i can't get them to work on my Samsung S23 Ultra or Insta360 X3. So if I wanna use it with those devices, I have to disconnect the Mic 2 from either device and use it standalone. Also with the Pocket 3, magnetic filters to add ND to add motion blur whereas with an iPhone, it needs a special case to add any kinds of filters
@@jonahkaiguam I have no problems with my DJI Mike system on my iPhone. It is crystal clear. I am sure there are advantages with both systems. For me, I have an iPhone with a brilliant camera. Some of the galaxy phones are pretty good also. I don’t really feel the need, for another camera system.
@@Steve-Cross ,
I would advise you to see a doctor, but it's too late, you are hopeless.
@@Steal_ex Interesting attack on something as benign as a camera gimbal. Perhaps you would like to explain yourself, as I feel you are the one with issues. 🤪🤣😂🤣😂
iPhone is unusable at night because of flares
Yeah that’s one thing I didn’t cover. The 16 is better but they are still there
Using the ultrawide at 0.5x-09x solves the problem, but the image will ve kind a soft
Iphone 16 pro vs dji action 5 pro
think I should do that next?
@@JakeSloan yes definitely 🤗
Put the I phone in airplane mode for no interruption
that does help
The best way to throw out this junk and forget it like a bad dream
Iphone footage looks artificial.
yeah too sharp
Wrong information pocket 3 can't work like what you are showing...
BS you don't believe the evidence of your own eyes??? everything in this video was shot with both
Seems more & more are going with the iphone.
Great in Depth Comparison.. I have to say iphone for the win.
I have the iphone 14 pro max i ordered it with 1TB. I'm happy with it.
Nice informative video Jake Thanks
Totally agree I think for most people the iPhone is a great solution.
Only a person with a serious head injury can perceive a smartphone as a camera. I feel sorry for you.
@@BobCaseyAerial ,
You commented on me, so I wrote a good comment )
I am an atheist, and I don't follow what's going on on the other side of the planet.
But I really feel sorry for those people who think that there is a camera in a smartphone )))
Here you pray to God, not to a stone in the sand.
So, shooting on a smartphone is like eating with a shoe, and praying to a stone in the sand. There are special cameras for shooting video, they are specially made to be comfortable to hold, they have a convenient location of buttons for control.
16 Pro надо было поставить на стаб Insta 360 pro вот таим была бы разница
That would make a difference
Позор индустрии - огрызок надо выбросить в помойку, и даже не упоминать рядом с DJI Osmo Pocket 3!
iPhone looks significantly better colors are better
in some shots yes in others not so much, makes me look like I have a spray tan lol
The iPhone colors in many of the shots looked processed and oversaturated. Just didn't look like my natural eye - not even close.
