I am so confused I was set to buy the DJI Osmo Pocket and now I am seeing the DJI Osmo Action 4? What is the difference. Please HELP. I need phenomenonal flow state with superior Image video quality. I am using my phone for house tours. I am hoping both these are better than my phone?
@atdez For house tours I would pick the Pocket 3 over the Action 4.
You are GOOD Tamara. I bought DJI Osmo Pocket 3 after watching your review. Love this raw and real storytelling.🎉
Thank you! this definitely answer the questions on the other video.
👍🏾
Processing 🤔
Some of your videos helped me decide on a pocket 3 for my other channel for family n friends :D. Thanks for all this coverage.
Processing 🤪 Glad I came across your content! I'm a travel TH-camr and I'm considering both of these, so I appreciate your comparison.
Which i like most is
The Way of Your Explanation
impressive
Processing. I like the Pocket 3 video a lot. Audio isn't terrible for what it is, internal audio. Nice presentation, thanks!
Great video! Exactly the review I was looking for!
Action 4 is the best vlogging camera for me. Travelling around Australia I'm in the water a fair bit, and sometimes it can rain quite heavy here! The X4 seems like too many steps in post. Great video.
Outstanding video! Thank you.
Thanks! ☺️
Brilliant review. Thank you!
Thanks!
Another great video. Thank you Tamara
Thanks!
Amazing video. I was already leaning towards the Osmo pocket. Now I’m sold!
Excellent video once again. Thank you for making this VS video and showing the differences between the two. ❤🔥🔥
Thanks 😊
love the review! I have both cameras and they are all good in different niches. But if I am only allowed to take one out with me I will go for the x4, it is way more versatile
Me too!
Awesome explanation 😮
Love this comparison! I'm completely sold with the Pocket 3
I really liked this video. I have both cameras and I use them for different purposes. I use the DJI Osmo for making movies, and the Insta360 x4 for vlogging. The warping that 360 cameras have around the edges makes them not good for filming for the purpose of making a movie that keeps its aspect ratio. However , for making travel videos, being able to use video from any direction is an advantage.
Processing......Great video, thanks! 💕
Thanks!
Great job, Queen.
i hate the bending houses and streets/backgrounds at the X4. It's so terrible for vloggling. Never liked it. Put my GoPro for everything on linear. A little time one finds this typical bending funny but in the ends it always disturbs my view. And why should the X4 suddenly become a better vlogging camera than the X3? I never saw many doing this job with the X3. That are action cameras. And the 1 inch of the P3 is is vastly superior to the other sensors.I think your conclusion is very realistic and comes from practice. That's what I love about your videos. Great job.
If you're just vlogging walking around or sitting in an office, the osmo 3 is the obvious choice. But it is not even water resistant. If you're a vlogger who does exciting things then I think the x4 would be the obvious choice. Everyone is doing something different and theres a camera to fit everyone's needs. The bending of the picture only happens when you're way wide. It can also shoot single lens where it doesn't bend the picture at all. There's several scenarios where you wouldn't need the 360 option.
@@PhilDoesItAll totalmente de acuerdo con tu comentario 😎 uso la X4 para todos mis videos y el iPhone 15 pro max
Very nice review 😮
I actually did a search for this title last week - and now we have it, just three days after I bought my Pocket 3! I think I made the right choice -- now to decide what I want to film!
Thanks for your videos :)
For vlog, you want easy first and creative control second. Post workflow is easier with P3. Like you pointed out at the end, if you were to hand a friend an X4, they can just walk around with it, not pay attention to what they were doing and still have usable b-roll.
yes i was thinking about this exact thing
First!!!!
This video was an excellent idea! I was thinking on getting a 360 but had no real purpose for it, It was all because I have never worked with one of that kind, and now I am convinced that I do not need it, having an action 4 and a Pocket 3 is really everything I need. Thanks for the great timing and helping me getting rid of the useless gear.
Cheers!
Congrats! 😅
Yeah! Realised that as well :)
Keep in mind, you dont have to use the X4 exclusively as a 360 camera. You can single lens it and still use all the benefits of an action cam. That's what kinda push me over the edge to get the x4 over the Action 4
If you really do not need 360 shooting, go with Pocket 3 or InstaAce Pro. The reframed footage from Insta360 X4 is far from perfect and Osmo Pocket 3 is just so close to perfect without editing. If you want great footage from X4 you have to shoot as like you do not have 360,so direct the center of the camera to subject, be stable, not much movement, good light, it is hard to get great footage from X4. It is great for social media, where lower quality is not much issue or if you just catch the moment like documentation not to show off with it on YT etc. Im big fan of Insta360, but from when I bought Pocket 3, I m always go with it as primary.
you believe it, but it's just a paid advertisement, X4 has more options and has 8k😅
Thanks for this! The comparison between the X4 and the P3 hasn't really featured much in other channels (as far as I have seen). They are indeed different tools for different jobs, but for me at least, the P3 is a point of reference, and it's interesting to see how the X4 compares when it comes to general video quality, setting aside the factors which define their uses.
In many side-by-side comparison shots I've seen of the X3 vs X4, the X3 often looks like it's the 8K camera and the X4 looks like the 5.7K camera. But one reviewer included a brief comparison shot presented as side-by-side clips showing the low, medium and high sharpness settings of the X4, when pointing at a brick-built building in the medium distance. With low sharpness, the bricks just blended into a blurred mess. At medium and high, the individual bricks were clearly identifiable. Frankly, in that comparison, the low X4 sharpness setting resulted in a pretty dire "this was shot with the old X1" image. One or two TH-camrs have said in passing that actually they use that low sharpness setting. How about you? Would it be worth making a two or three minute video just comparing results with the three sharpness settings, using suitable detailed locations? I suspect this may be an overlooked but important matter. (I would do it myself but I have yet to buy the X4... still on the fence, and boy, that becomes uncomfortable after a few weeks...)
Thanks for your insight, Peter. I’ll likely cover the sharpness in my next dedicated video about the X4 😊
this is the comparison video that we all been waiting for
I would most definitely go for the pocket 3 would it be my only camera but in my case I went for the 360 camera since it would be my secondary or tertiary camera for my trips. I normally use a mirrorless camera for my primary shooting and secondary I went for a GoPro. I recently purchased the x4 since it would really add to the creative angle shots but I probably give myself a lot of extra work with editing in the end. I’ll be traveling next week so I’m gonna be using 3 cameras this time. Yay..😅
Tamara, a little unrelated to the actual topic you are talking about here. I still use the DJI pocket 2 and I seem to be getting the sound coming in pulses when I playback a recorded video. Is there something I’m not doing?
Love the Pocket 3 such a great camera!
For a travel guide, showing more of a city, which would be a better choice?
Processing lol. I am so joying your videos on the DJI pocket 3
Love the x4 as i love action, adventures,., and dont wanna missed anything arounds you. Both good camera
There are some very small power bank batteries on Amazon that will connect to USBC connection on the tripod extension. We're going on a cruise to Norway to see the northern lights in the fall. DJI told me that the Pocket 3 will operate in the cold weather but that the battery will deplete faster. Hence, in addition to the power handle, I bought a set of the power banks.
Processing. Ty 4 the vid
You’re welcome!
Awesome video & voice..😅
Been lately started to look at something like a "vlog" camera, to use while on a trip to maybe shoot something. Or to use during competitions when filming someone while following them.
I am comparing heavily between: Pocket 2 or 3 and the X3 or X4
I dont have any hopes of making life changing vlogs or video's, just want something to point and shoot when i want to. But i do like to get a higher then avarage product so i know it will last me a long time before i feel the need that i have to upgrade or am missing out on quality.
And right now i do tend to lean more to the X3 or X4, it does have less moving parts that could break or something to happen with. Big plus for those is also that i can just change out the battery if i need to instead of having to worry about charging it and hoping it gets charged enough if i am in between something.
Personally, I don't see the Insta360 as a vlogging camera. I can see incorporating footage
from it into a vlog. A friend of mine has one, and the footage does look cool. But, its
not something I would vlog with.
That being said, I have lost interest in the Insta360. Mainly because the makers of
Insta360 have asked content creators to hide the fact that their videos are being
sponsored by Insta360. It seems like a dumb move since it seems quite obvious that
it would only be a matter of time before creators would share this request with their
audiences.
I'm happy with my OP3. I look forward to using it for narrative projects of mine.
Thank you for your content covering the OP3. It's been very helpful.
I was contemplating upgrading from my x3 to x4 yesterday for better vlogging but instead bought the OP3 Creator combo. I will now use the X3 for bRolll. I also use the META bans for POV
Nice! I have mixed feelings about the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. They’re a good version one, but I’m looking forward to the next gen and the improvements.
I am using DJI OM 3 when I went on cruise...omg>>>it's so amazing...the video quliaty record on 4K 60fps.
Hi,Tami! Hice to see you! How often do you use a backpack-mounted Pocked3? Is this shooting format convenient?
I have the Pocket 3 and an X2. I use the X2 on my motorcycle. I plan to upgrade to X4. The Pocket 3 does give great results but not ideal in an action setting.
Love the video! Which one you’d go for walking tours when traveling to just attach the camera to the shoulder strap ? I am leaning toward the x4 as I can reframe later the front view and just focus on enjoying the walk. Although the Pocket can be used for few shots in my fashion video work since i hate using gimbals 😅
Thanks!
If I did walking tours I’d use the X4 because of the ability to just reframe later.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thank you for your reply 😊😊 cant wait for your next video!
for vlog, pocket 3 will be the goto. for behind the scene, action cam, motor vlog x4 will be a better choice, as it can create interesting shots.
Pocket3 Will the next firmware update include photo shutter speed up to 25 seconds long? Also, internal Prores Raw video recording?
thank you good content quality reviewer thanks
These two camera are really for different jobs, the DJI has larger 1 inch sensor compared to the X4 1/2 inch so can’t compete as the 8k that has to be reframed is then of a lower quality image. The Pocket three is more aimed at slower work and you would not use it as an extreme sports camera as would break the gimble and it’s not weather proof like the X4. Both fantastic products but pick these if you need for what they are purposed for or buy both if you can afford, enjoyed watching 🥳🥳🥳
Ps. I have the X3 and now X4 but for extreme water sports and the Osmo could not be used for this.
Thank you Ms Gabriel for your context and your description of the difference between them both mam have a great day
I have the original Osmo pocket and action and was thinking of upgrading to the insta360 x4, but I'm still not sure now. Osmo pocket 3 looks great.
To be honest, I am not and probably never will be knowing for quality vlogs. In terms of just recording life and sharing with family, X4 is the no brainer. First reason is like what you said for back-of-the-scene footage, I won't sacrifice the time with my family by keeping my eyes on the camera to get the best shots: I can just set it there, let it goes and edit later. The 2nd point is 360 footage is still the most immersive way to capture and recall memories. Instead of showing people the prepared, best-looking parts of my life, I just want to record whatever is there.
💯 agreed
Great video! I found myself debating between the Pocket 3 and X4 for a few weeks before deciding to go with the x4, albeit for reasons different than what you've mentioned here.
Unpopular opinion: The Pocket 3 gets better footage 9/10 times in almost every situation. However, the x4 allows you to capture moments while being able to be fully present for them, rather than watching those same core memories unfold through a small screen to make sure you've got your shot framed correctly.
For actual, professional content creation, the Pocket 3 will win in almost every situation for its ability to produce higher quality footage.
However, for the average person who just wants to record/share videos of fun adventures / travel / etc, the slightly decreased footage quality might be worth the fact that it can still create good quality footage without needing to be aimed / monitored during recording.
I recently took the x4 to a concert and was recording the artists on stage when they started hitting foam baseballs into the crowd. My x4 was able to track the baseballs from the stage all the way to the back of the house, where fans caught/chased after them. No other camera would have allowed me to capture that moment as effectively as the x4, while still maintaining the choice between watching the video reframed to show JUST the stage, to show the entire ball-hit scenario, or even BOTH at the same time if I were so inclined. I could also load the video into my meta quest 3 to watch in full 360 should I choose to.
Agreed! I also think a lot people would agree with this too.
This is the answer I was looking for. While my use case is rather mundane (I’m a dad mainly wanting to capture moments with my kid) being able to be remain present is key
Pocket 3, no contest
No
And pocket 3 looks way better
Pocket 3 has better image quality and battery life, insta 360x4 can shoot vr 360 video. If you have a VR headset insta 360 is much better, it can do what other cameras cannot do, instead of pocket 3 that is a better camera compared to your phone.
@@weijiadeng8012Facts
@@weijiadeng8012 But no one watches VR 360 for vlogging, so Pocket 3 is the best.
Perfect timing, I'm considering buying a video recorder for my best friend's kids so they can capture videos of their family since their mom has cancer. It sounds like the DJI would be a good fit for kids 10, 12 & 14 to use. If anyone has other suggestions, LMK.
I might would say in a case like this you might like the 360 because in the future you would be able to relive moments in a VR headset. But with kids I might would say the X4 because the Pocket 3 is more fragile and a kid could easily break the gimbal if not careful. I would give serious consideration to that aspect with a child and compare them in a store if possible. If they use them in sports setting like on a bike then X4. If you have a budding filmmaker then maybe the Pocket 3 as it will produce the most cinematic results.
For kids just get a GoPro style camera, more robust, not easy to break and to take care..P3 is fragile,X4 is also fragile cause the lens is easy to scratch.
Processinggg! 😂 I have the X3 and I'm not really pushed on upgrading to the X4 since the low light performance still isn't great. Even on an overcast day (which is not what I'd consider "low light" at all!) the image quality really suffers. 😑 If you're planning to post a comparison video of the two, I'd love to get your thoughts! But for now, I think the Pocket 3 is gonna be for me!
Yeah, I’ll definitely share the X3 and X4 comparison soon 😊
@TamaraGabrielUK Awesome, thank you! Looking forward to it ☺️
I upgraded from the X2 to the X4 and wow….HUGE improvement in my opinion. The 8K really pulls in better colors and saturation. Yes, you can push in further for the reframing but it is SO clear on my videos. Really loving the X4. I also have the Pocket 3 and that is the definite winner but the X4 is a great complement and you can get very creative with both cameras.
Hi Tamara, there is a new firmware update on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Please check and update. There is a new gimbal mode added after the update. I missed taking a screenshot of the update and there are no release notes from DJI about the latest firmware update online. Thank you!
I was literally on best buy last night looking at these wondering which one made more sense for me lol
Great timing 😏
Im still watching your videos..
can i have you old devices.. those are my dream 😅
My favorite person
i only have an X2 and a proper small point and shoot camera...ill use the X2 for videos and the camera for photos..
Hello Tamara i recently bought dji osmo action 4.....can you please make a video about the best video format to use and how to process those format
Hi. I have a video about camera settings here th-cam.com/video/cx1YkipRfF8/w-d-xo.html
Processing ❤
Absolutely no brainier! The OSMO Three all day long. We have been using ours for a couple of months now and simply don’t use our Insta360x4, totally redundant. Great vlog though.
Nice one 😊 also I’m still processing 😂
😂
The insta360 has weather proofing that makes it better then the pocket 3 if you’re filming around water or in the rain etc
DJI pocket 3 does seem quite decent, but i still would pick x4 as it can be used for both vlogging and action sports. X4 allows hands-free shooting, which pocket 3 cannot fulfil
Exelente video, saludos desde argentina.
Two very different cameras i love my X3 and the pocket 3. The x3 takes great shoots like fake drone shots from vantage points etc. the pocket 3 is great hand held vlogging.
“Still processing…now it’s done” ✔️
Many commented on the lack of this kind of video. There is a reason. You are comparing an apple to an orange. A pocket 3 is designed for cinimatic footage at a higher quality in a more controlled enviroment. An insta360 x4 is an action camera designed for adventures. Try taking a pocket 3 rock climbing, or swimming. For vlogging a pocket 3 is designed for this. The insta360 x4 is not... I personally own the x4 and its perfect for my usages as i travel as i need something quick, small, waterproof that i can reframe later. Something a pocket 3 is just not designed for. I think really owning both would be the perfect combo.
Can't you use me mode and it tracks you automatically?
Can you show me a tutorial on how to use slo-mo on my DJI osmo 6 Please.. why isn't it readily available??
For vlogging the pocket 3 is definitely great but I feel like you are comparing apples to oranges. The x4 is an action camera and it’s a 100 times better than the pocket 3 at being an action camera just like the pocket 3 is times better than the x4 at being a point and shoot camera.
Yeah, I mentioned at the beginning that they’re both very different. But lots of people asked for a comparison for vlogging, so here it is 😊
Processing lol. (Always love your videos)
Thanks! 😁
True about the photo,thats my frustration with insta 360
For straight up vlogging and in low-light (even for studio based video) Osmo is the winner For interesting shoot and compose later stuff in good light, the 360.
🔥🔥👍🏽
Nice video! What app do you use in editing this video. (Especially that black frame transitioning)
Thanks. I edit in FCPX and use plugins from MotionVFX for my transitions.
@@TamaraGabrielUK Thank you for responding ❤️🙏🏼
I really enjoyed this breakdown and the footage you captured. Great examples and gave me a ton to think about.
Ultimately I think the right answer for real camera nerds is to buy both. 😂
Haha, I think you’re right 😅
For the next video: anamorphic filter for Pocket3
Processing!!!!! No thank you. I have the X3 don’t think I’m upgrading. Haven’t used it since I got the Pocket 3 last August…… I love this thing !!!
You honestly could have the most versatile kit if you had both of these cameras. This would be a do it all kit.
First off, you do good reviews, Kudos ! DJI all the way! I will never buy an insta360 product ever after hearing how they want to buy good reviews and tell the people they sponsor they arent sponsored by them. Very bad and shady business practices. Until they change, I will stay away. The product is good enough, they don't need to take these inexcusable actions.
For me, it's simple.
General vlogging, and anything except bright daylight: Pocket 3, hands down.
More action-packed, cool shots, fake drone: Insta360 X4
Both are completely different cameras for me!
Definitely a fun camera for creative shots!
Personally, the Insta360 is way more diverse, but it depends on use case and time.
Insta360 - post take long and has a learning curve, but on can get very creative shots. Is nice for beginners and overall users who enjoy creative aspects of enjoying the moment. One definitely needs to protect the lenses at all times.
DJI pocket - is easy to use, and straight to the point ( literally), but it takes creative finesse to get creative shots. Works great for intermittent to beginners. Gimbal is fragile.
I personally go with the Insta360 X4 for it's diversity and you can find your own style.
For me... the BEST ALL-AROUND Travel/Vlog camera, today, is the Insta360 ACE PRO: small, light, with very good image quality even at night but beautifully rugged and waterproof, with a 16mm equivalent UW lens but becoming a 32mm with the “Clarity Zoom” without losing quality!
Insta360 X4 for versatility!
Processing 🎉
🤪
Pocket is one of rhe best filmic and solo shooting and insta360x is great for shooting many people at once.
Madam made video pocket 3 vs insta 360ace pro
Nice
i love ur hair ❤❤❤❤
im looking for a dadcam/camcorder as well! which one is best?😵😵🤣🤣
What makes my decision more complicated for me is how clear and crisp the videos look made by other TH-camrs and, of course, those by insta360 themselves. I want to get a camera to do walks in Spain, and wherever else we visit, but also double it as a bit of a vlogging camera to capture moments with my daughter. I feel the insta360 X4 would make it easy to do both, since I won’t have to worry about where the camera is pointing. Yet, that curved, fisheye look, and how far away everything seems (I feel you have to walk closer to the buildings to notice its details better), might affect the quality of the videos. Could you shed some light on this debacle, please?
For my field of view I mostly used UltraView, but Linear will get rid of that fisheye look and bring things in closer.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thank you for your reply! SUBSCRIBED!
I just bought both on my trip to Barcelona and Lisbon, and I have used both extensively. The X4 isn't the best for capturing photos or videos or in low light, but just phenomenal to capture things that otherwise you would never ever capture. I had many people think I was using a drone on my instagram photage, and I was filming while hiking up a castle on a mountain, which I would never do with my phone or pocket 3. I love the Pocket 3 and the videos it takes, but aside from low light, my 14 Pro Max mostly takes similar photage, and better photos.photage
I'm still shooting with a ZV-1. I think I need to step my game up here...
Imo ZV E10 has better quality than pocket 3
@@IntrovertMaxxing I haven’t tried one of those. The ZV-1 has great picture quality but image stabilization is garbage, battery life is garbage, and it overheats after recording for 15 minutes. Granted it was like 90 degrees outside but I haven’t heard of any other cameras doing that.
@@PhilDoesItAll tbf that sounds like the ZV E10 too. Stability is trash. It's mainly good for in studio, stable video
Also if you drop both cameras on the floor the osmo head could break easly while the x4 is a box shape which reduce damage .
Seriously? That is a reason to buy the X4 over the P3? Funny! According to the logic I would then no longer buy a camera at all. Because she could fall on the street while out for a walk and be run over by a car.
@@mathiassiebert1217 I’m not saying is a reason to buy I’m just saying one little advantage.
I can never get the ai tracking to be smooth like that....but I am using the mobile app not Studio
Tamara - did you grade or change the output footage at all on the OP# when you state on the screen that its 4k 25 Auto and Normal CP ? Its sooooo damn good
Nope. For this video I didn’t grade the footage for either camera. The footage is exactly as it comes so people can compare both without adjustments.
@@TamaraGabrielUK damn. It pretty good isn’t it. You have amazing content
Thanks ☺️ Yeah, it’s a great camera!
I have both pocket 3 and insta x3…. they are a different beast… x3 on my bike beats everything… but pocket 3 does everything else
