I am a very avid cyclist and I bought this camera because of the unedited video you did cycling with this camera. I even started my own TH-cam channel just for fun. It's called MidnightPedals. I have watched every video you've done since then. I really like your casual style. I truly believe this camera will change things in a very substantial way. It is so fast and simple to use that it's hard to even explain to somebody that has never used one. The thing that has me totally blown away is the low light performance. It's incredible! I think most people will not understand the difference between digital stabilization and mechanical stabilization until they use a camera like this. I could talk about this camera for hours. I absolutely love it and carry it with me everywhere now.
Nice review. Thanks for sharing both the good and the bad after some long time use. The hype on this thing was off the charts... so nice to see a video about long term use and pros/cons. Subscribed 🙂
I've had my Pocket 3 for about 6 months now and it's gradually replaced almost all my others for my vlogs. I do still use my GoPro as a secondary camera, and if I need long shots I'll use my Sony ZV-E1. But it's the P3 that gets most of the use by far. And I have to agree with you regarding the zoom/position issue. For me, it seems it's always in zoom mode when I want to change the position, not visa versa. Thanks for this vid.
It's a great camera, i also agree that the zoom in and out feature can be confusing when the toggle button also does up and down. I also have had this camera turn on in my backpack on its own 😂.
Agree about the joystick, I've only been using this for about a week now, but always get mixed up if I'm zooming or tilting the camera angle and have messed up a few shots!
Very nice review. Although I don't miss the city "Montreal" but the "les copains d'abord" bakery most definitely. The best sandwichs and the best "crème brulé. I'm glad to see that it's still there, av. Mont-Royal as lost a lot of its charm since the time I was living there more than 10 years ago.
Dan, really nice job. I agree with your comments on using the zoom function - it can be confusing! Were you using the DJI wireless mic or internal audio on Pocket 3?
Trust me, if your portfolio showcases incredible content, clients won't care what equipment you used. Whether it’s a camera the size of a pencil or a professional rig, what matters is the quality of your work. If a client is fixated on your gear, it’s a red flag. Such clients usually bring more headaches than they’re worth. In those cases, I’d simply pass on the project. That's why I'm confident in buying this camera.
Unfortunately, there are reasons why cycling with less than two hands on the handlebars is potentially dangerous for the camera and for people (yourself and others in traffic). Here are just two of them: The road may have potholes that are visible too late. And others in the traffic may require very sudden riding reactions. It is true that slow driving theoretically brings more safety here, but others often feel provoked by slowness to very dangerous and bossy behaviour. I feel insecure and am looking for recommended options from other own experiences with 2 hands on the handlebars AND filming with the OP3. Thank you for your understanding and your reply!!!
Montreal! What do you think about being able to film more surreptitiously in public with something like the Insta360 Go 3(s)- worse image quality but less obvious when you are filming.
@@Chelsify Handheld. A mount would be ideal but i worry that s bike mount would absorb a lot of microbumps that even the osmo can’t handle. I was thinking of buying a backpack mount. but for short rides, handheld works for me
Je me demandais, est-ce en Amérique ou Amérique latine, mais on dirait des immeubles en Europe, et là j'entends la boulangère parler en français avec des prix en dollars....I'm confuse! But many thanks for the video I've received my osmo on yesterday
But most of the ads don't actually show up, right? I've got youtube premium so I really don't know. I just heard from other youtubers that it makes sense to put a bunch of ad breaks as most of them don't show up for viewers they are just suggested spots for youtube. That being said, I know a lot of ads suck as a viewer so I appreciate your comment and will think on this more. Cheers

non-cyclist here, but thanks for the helpful feedback. I just received mine 2 days ago. Need to learn how to use it now. Looking forward!
Great review. Thanks for this.

Love the look of this camera and all it can do! Going to have to start saving up for it lol :)

I got mine already I love this camera
Excellent and instructive! Thx
Hi there. Very nice video 👍🏻. Which setting normally u use?
Great video! Did you color grade it during editing? It looks great!!!
Great Review. I can totally confirm the bad Zoom UI. We should have DJI correct that. By the way such an nice city you live in.

@@markexploringnewstuff Internal
r u using the mic? just curious. great video
@@DejaDrewit hi deja, no mic here straight out of camera. Though i saw dji just released a mini wireless mic this week that looks quite interesting!
@ wow impressive! I just got mine today. So much to explore !
Hey cool vid! What did you use to hook it to the bike?
Fun is the word

nice vid. what city is this?
montreal i recon?
Correct 👍
It's a digital zoom, so I don't worry about zoom when filming. I can do it in post with the same result.
agree with the zoom. that may drive me crazy…
I have the exact same problem with the zoom/reposition that you mentioned...and it's cost me some good footage. They could have improved that further.
Great video man! Would you recommend this for making running videos? Steady footage while running?
No, up and down movement isnt smoothed by the gimbal.

Sorry couldn't get over how bad the roads looked cracks everywhere, which country are you filming in.
So what mic were you using. If internal, how did you get rid of the awful wind noise that this camera suffers with?
You can set which of the 3 internal mics record, if windy you just set to frontal and itll eliminate everything from the back and the side.

Human history can be divided into 2 parts:
Before Dan got the Osmo and after
Laughed out loud
Are you holding it in your hand orus there a Bike Mount?

Hi! I am new to vlogging and this camera…. I film in 4K 30 fps but when I upload to TH-cam it’s only 1080p…. What am doing wrong please ?
where is this?
Montreal
I wish it would return to center it's written off so many shots
Je me demandais, est-ce en Amérique ou Amérique latine, mais on dirait des immeubles en Europe, et là j'entends la boulangère parler en français avec des prix en dollars....I'm confuse! But many thanks for the video I've received my osmo on yesterday
So many STOP signs you don't obey!!!
Zoom with your finger on the screen, problem solved.
Commercials every 2 1/2 minutes??? Not going to endear me to your channel.....just sayin'....
