Buddy literally just we r on your channel after reading the comment.. amazing stuff! Kindly let me know what did you use the actions for and what did you use the pockets for ?
When it comes to face tracking and framing, you can actually choose where you want to be tracked in the frame by simply moving the joy stick after you have selected your face until you are in the position you want. Then it will keep you there just like the dynamic framing mode.
True. It’s much easier and faster than the dynamic framing as you don’t have to enter another menu. I never use the dynamic framing, I just compose my shot with the joystick 👍🏼
Hi David, love your content. Like you I took a punt and purchased the Pocket 3 not long after it came out and I now find I am using it for almost every video I shoot, professionally or for family use. Also like you I was a little worried at first about how fragile it looked but also like you I have knocked, dropped and otherwise abused this camera and it has come through with flying colours. I hate it when people over use the term game changer but in this case I truly believe this little camera system is a Game Changer. Keep up the good work.
You're absolutely right about the durability! That was probably the most surprising part of this camera because it looks fragile, but takes the abuse pretty easily. Except the wide angle lens, that thing is not so durable🤣
The problem with widen wide-angle lens is that during the winter time, the wide-angle lens gets foggy. I have to wipe the fog many times to get the clear footage. Also, the wide-angle is only slightly wider than the original lens which I find not worth the hassle.
Thank you David, I have been a Pro Photographer for 48 years and have just picked up the Pocket 3. Totally geeked out the tools to use with it. I will have my first event in about a month and I'll let you and your viewer know my thoughts. Blessings
It's pretty hard to go wrong with this thing. The footage coming out of it is pretty much ready to go out of camera. Especially when you get the sharpness dialed in how you like
I’ve been really surprised how durable this thing is! I use it as an action camera while running in the mountains. Love it! I did a full review of it on my channel from the point of view of using it as an action camera.
Great video.. I love my pocket 3 and i definitely have to agree with you there needs to be a spin dial for the EV setting.. It ia not easy adjusting that. Hope they fix this for the next version..
Ive used OP3 to shoot a few nightclub party videos and it has worked out great, I was worried about the durability because of the occasional bumps in the club, but this camera has been a champ so far, the camera is almost as good as my full frame in low light scenes...my only hiccup so far is me loosing the widescreen lens in a club, will be ordering another one soon.
Would you recommend me getting the creator combo, or the entry level? I ask this because I already have a DJI Wireless Mic 1, so I wonder if I can just plug in that mic on the USB-C port that is on the side of the handle or the extra battery and use a mini tripod at the same time with no issues?
Another great informative and entertaining video. My favorite prat (besides the poop joke at the end) is at 3:10 when you make the awesome sound effect of digital stabilization :)
Ive had mine a couple of months now and really love it. I don't think the wide angle lense is too good as I don't think it brings much more wide angle, plus I like the default angle the DJI brings. One thing I wish it did, is screen record, like the drones do. It would help when teaching settings. Otherwise, awesome camera. Thanks
David, as always, great video!! Saw someone with one while on Vacation in Cape Town last October and thought it was pretty cool. Have watched a few vids, and now definitely considering it for a next big vacation to Chicago this year.
I'll add a con. Remembering your tracking preference! I love my Pocket 3 but i hate that i have to go to the modes and go over one to select Dynamic. I wish it would just remember what it was last time so I could just turn on and go. But its a great camera and has almost replaced my bigger setups for quick videos!
Great review normally these reviews are for people that are geeks and become complicated ,but this was a straight to the point easy to understand great video ,had everything I needed to know about this camera .im considering stopping my go pro some reason keeps knocking on the time lapse on ,also the night quality is really terrible
Awesome as always David! We're just spoilt for choice nowadays that it's hard to decide on what to replace my OG DJI Osmo Action 1 when I go pull the trigger to do so. This is definitely on my radar but what I'm kinda stops me from doing so is the durability of it especially if you compare it to a traditional action cam. But yeah I totally love the specs and feature of this thing!
For me right now, this paired with the Ace Pro is I think going to completely cover our Hawaii trip. Crazy low light on both, but both uniquely their own in what they offer!
@@DavidManningvlog yeah I think that's a great combination, having these 1 inch sensors on these cams really make them so usable in any lighting conditions coupled along with killer stability makes it a more attractive vlogging setup than an actual camera.
Hello David, love your videos. Would you recommend me this camera for a walking type videos. I feature walk & vlogs on my channel. Also, is there going to be a DJI Pocket 4 out later this year? Last question, would it work with the first version of the DJI Mic? Thanks.
3 daughters and your wife…brother…you’re in big trouble 😁👍 David - thanks for the review, I’m thinking about buying this for all the reasons you mentioned.
Have now owned every iteration of the Pocket cam from DJI and this is a great improvement in their line. I too plan on coupling the OP3 with the Ace Pro for our trip to Florida/Disney next month. Vlogging non-Disney stuff with the OP3 and taking the Ace Pro to the Park since it can get wet, etc and will handle the action a lot better. I'm thinking of doing a reaction video for me media channel to post at the end of the summer, but I really do love this little camera! Great review and looking forward to your next one!
I'm glad to know my daughter isn't the only one with such terrible jokes 😂.... My favorite she tells all the time, "What do you call a pile of kittens?? A Meowntain!!!" 😅
I picked mine up as a Creator Combo on launch day. Love it so far. Like you, I wish we could set the Face Tracking to a different area as default other than center of the screen. But other than that, I love this camera.
I picked up the ace pro instead but I’m finding I want the pocket 3 for vlogging due to the auto focus and close focus. The creator combo is also mostly on back order so I’ll have to wait until it comes back in stock.
Excellent review. Honestly, I wish I picked up the Pocket 3 before getting the ZV-1. While the ZV-1 may have some features the OP3 doesn't have, the features the OP3 does have outweighs the benefits of the ZV-1. Especially the 10-bit DLOG feature. I'm a filmmaker and I can see the OP3 being great for location scouting. Thanks for sharing.
I got caught up in the DJI Long Wait cycle for this camera, thought i’d wait until what ever the issue was to get sorted so cancelled my order. Which was easy to do by the way, DJI customer support is very good it would seem. It also seems that stocks are good for now so checking out long term reviews to make sense. Thanks David, love your reviews, and it’s good that DJI are keeping the updates coming for this camera. So shall or shan’t I 😅. Your review has been a big positive help with that decision, thank you.
Perfect timing on this video. I bought the pocket three about a month ago hoping to have it before I leave for Hong Kong in a week for a production. But it’s continuously back ordered. Cannot wait to get it. Seems like the perfect mix of Quality/ease of use. And you 😂know I’ll be rocking it out as my dad cam most of the time as well. Nice man.
@@DavidManningvlog Ha! Yes man, I've been working on bringing that back for a bit - and I want to do it. Life has just been crazy. Also - good news - just got a tracking number for my Osmo Pocket 3, fingers crossed it gets here before I leave for Hong Kong in a week.
I just got the Creator combo, but found the camera not very good for IRL streaming. It has some sort of a stutter when connected in webcam mode. Aside from that issue, I really like the camera, especially the amazing night footage it can take.
You can EV compensate! download the latest firmware version for the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. If you are currently using the latest version, during recording, you can slide from right to left to adjust the EV value on the left of the screen (use it as a vertical slider). -0.3 to -0.7 looks best .
Hi, excellent information, thanks for sharing, appreciate if you can help me purchase a charger, What charger are you using and what power should someone check in the charger when purchasing one?
I actually want to buy this as a webcam. I'm on video calls 3-4 hours a day and this would be game changing. And then I can use it for family/vacation/hiking/etc when I want too.
Great informative video! Really though, you’ve sold me on the product haha it looks grand! But when do you reckon they’d release the pocket 4, cause if it’s relatively soon then I’d rather wait for that release!
Is there a possibility to smoothen the face tracking? for my taste it's a little too quick to respond, thus kind of "shaking" the frame whenever the face moves a tiny bit around
Nope, no way to dial it in. I'm with you though and I find that dynamic tracking is much smoother with the movement to keep the subject in frame. The smoothest obviously is just to frame by hand without either tracking enabled, but then you have to really be paying attention
Ok, I’ll update my DJI pocket… I’d love to know if they’re going to release this one in the white/cream? I love the updated screen - I wanted it with my 2. Great video
Swipe down to get into the settings and go to Tilt Locked under the gimbal mode. That will keep the horizon level so that as you move around the gimbal doesn't look up or down. To then move the view up and down, you can use the joystick, but then it's locked in place again. It's what most larger gimbal operators use to get the best footage
@@DavidManningvlog how did I miss this?! I honestly looked and didn’t see it. You just fixed one of my biggest gripes. Thanks! Seriously wish I knew this before our last trip to Ocean Shore this last weekend. You do have to think a little more on your movements with this vs my GoPro that was my goto vlogging camera
I bought mine to replace the use of my Ronin S set up, after injuring y biceps. I'm struggling with keeping the gimbal straight, so I can manually pan symmetrical things.. like building entrances, without the head tilting. Can you recommend any tricks..? other than mounting a DSLR on a tripod.. w/ a fluid head..
Hi, if people's faces (and skin) was the main priority, would it be this or the Insta 360 Ace Pro? skin color and look and less funky digital artifacts?
I bought a refurbished Pocket Pro3 off Amazon... I thought I could save a little money, as I already owned the DJI Mic 1. Long story short, the MicroMemory card slot was not recognizing any of the cards I purchased. I called DJI, and they recommended specific brands of cards, which ended up wasting a lot of time. After a week of experimentation, I up returning and reordereing the Studio Version. DJI can fulfill direct orders faster. And, Best Buy did not have the combo in stock. Also, the DJI Mic1 works with the Pocket 3, but it would not allow me to customize the mic settings, i.e. gain like the Mic2 allegedly does. I also was not able to use get my Mic1 and Pocket 3 to work with my iMac for Zoom Calls. My computer would not authenticate the external mic. It worked fine with just the default Pocket 3 mic plugged into my computer. Thanks for sharing your product review.
The 2 things stopping me from getting one are 1. Want a wider field of view standard, and 2. The filters should be able to stay on when turned off and stored so you don't have to keep taking them off and putting them back on.
I'm not sure where that rumor came from, but you don't have to take the filters off to store the gimbal. They fold up and are completely protected when you put the gimbal in the case
I have the DJI Mic 1 setup. Can this camera link those mics as well? I'm assuming so. Those mics are still solid, so I'm thinking I don't necessarily need the creator combo for that reason.
Love the video - I got the DJI because of this review. Question. My Creator Combo is supposed to have a wide angle lense, but I cannot find it in the packaging. It says on the box its included, where did you find yours?
Thanks for the great video 😊 I’m a beginner creator and I’m currently having an I phone 13 plus pro (might update to the 16 plus pro later this year) and a go pro hero 10. So I was actually only looking for a decent mic and thought of getting the DJI wireless mic 2 system. However after coming across the Osmo Pocket 3 I’m wondering if it would be worth buying it with the creator combo. It would be 300 dollars more expensive than the mic system alone. Obviously the mic system comes with 2 mics a charging case and a receiver which allows to use it on several devices. Would it be worth to get the Osmo pocket 3 with my current set up and is a bluetooth mic reliable enough to use it also later with an I phone or any other devices? Or would it make more sense to save the money, get the dji mic 2 set with 2 mics, charging box and receiver?
Your dynamic framing tip: You can achieve the exact same thing, even better, by touching the screen (activating active track) where the subject is (or Selfie-Track) and THEN using the joystick to position the frame. That way, you can frame more precisely (with dynamic framing you only have the fixed points) and it's quicker compared to dynamic framing. The subject will stay in the place of the frame after using the joystick. I never understood the dynamic framing feature since you can achieve the same thing much quick.. :)
Waiting for some type of water resistance on the pocket 3. Does not need to be water proof but to record in the rain or snow would be great. Maybe a pocket 3 pro is in the works.
I just bought the Pocket 3 creator kit (finally in stock) and I’m so excited to try it out! Question for you… I’m actually considering getting another camera that will operate as a smaller camera that I can use to film inside shopping malls. I’m going to be using the pocket three for this as well, but I’m looking for something even smaller. My GoPro 12 is great in good lighting, but pretty terrible in low light… Would you recommend Ace Pro or The GO3S for filming in artificial light? Could the go3S handle lighting like in a shopping mall or grocery store or inside an artificially lit area?
Thank you for the info, I am beginner. Whatvtuoe video software you use fir video which is for beginners. Also can you transfer the file to your phone so I can posted on social media?
I have a silicone cover for my Pocket 3 gimbal head. I wasn't a huge fan of it because it felt like too good of a fit and had a lot of tension when removing it. I felt like it may damage the gimbal over time. Lots of good 3rd party accessories out there now for the camera.
Couldn’t agree more about the exposure compensation. Or even simpler, a button (regardless whether physical or right on the touch screen) for auto exposure lock. It’s ridiculous that DJI built in so many pro level features yet it still misses the basics. If it had that, I would upgrade from the Pocket 2 immediately.
I’ve built my entire channel almost exclusively using the DJI Pocket series, 1-3. The 3 is incredible!! Awesome video 🙌🙌
Buddy literally just we r on your channel after reading the comment.. amazing stuff! Kindly let me know what did you use the actions for and what did you use the pockets for ?
Do you grade or just straight out the camera ?
Your channel is insane! I leved it!!!
You do ur photographs job with this camera or?

thinking of the same thing. yeah, i wonder what dji should do to make this info more widespread. I've heard several youtubers missing this feature.
Yep. I see a lot of YT'rs missing this feature on these reviews...
Great info, thanks. That is useful for many activities !!

Totally agreed, mine has fallen on the concrete for at least twice, so far so good
Does this not have a lanyard hole on the camera??… I would be using that whenever I would use this camera.
@@brettyg76 it does, i just never use it
Glad I came across this video! I need one of these! Looks like it would be good to shoot for my music stuff!
Watched until the end. I also picked one up and will be using it for everyday life and travels. It is soooooo good.
I'm with you man. Still my go-to camera for most things.
I feel like every time I use it and pull the footage in, I'm shocked that it came from this tiny little thing
Great walkthrough, been looking at this one ☝️
Man, this thing was everywhere at CES! So many creators opted for walking around the show floor with this instead of a larger mirrorless setup
@@DavidManningvlog that's probably what inspired it lol, great advertising!
Is there any options for a light? I do a lot of filming at night and would need at least a little bit of light
I attach the pocket 3 to a camera bracket that can hold a small led light.
The problem with widen wide-angle lens is that during the winter time, the wide-angle lens gets foggy. I have to wipe the fog many times to get the clear footage. Also, the wide-angle is only slightly wider than the original lens which I find not worth the hassle.
My wife and I just came back from a 8 day cruise and the only video camera I used was the DJI Pocket 3. I really like it.
Thanks for the review....been a while since you've posted. Adorable family too
I appreciate you coming back to watch!🙌
Thank you David, I have been a Pro Photographer for 48 years and have just picked up the Pocket 3. Totally geeked out the tools to use with it. I will have my first event in about a month and I'll let you and your viewer know my thoughts. Blessings
How’d it go?
RIP
Love the content. Been on the fence for the Pocket 3. I’ll pick up one soon. Thanks!
It's pretty hard to go wrong with this thing. The footage coming out of it is pretty much ready to go out of camera. Especially when you get the sharpness dialed in how you like
Love your channel dude, you deliver every single time.
Mine just arrived today! Can’t wait to start using it!
Awesome video. Good to know about the dynamic framing! Nice!
I’ve been really surprised how durable this thing is! I use it as an action camera while running in the mountains. Love it! I did a full review of it on my channel from the point of view of using it as an action camera.
Great video.. I love my pocket 3 and i definitely have to agree with you there needs to be a spin dial for the EV setting.. It ia not easy adjusting that. Hope they fix this for the next version..

I just bought this for my home tour videos. So excited to try it out tomorrow. Thanks for the video.
As always great video. I feel like I should give this camera a try ;) Cheers!
Would you recommend me getting the creator combo, or the entry level? I ask this because I already have a DJI Wireless Mic 1, so I wonder if I can just plug in that mic on the USB-C port that is on the side of the handle or the extra battery and use a mini tripod at the same time with no issues?
From what I hear, you can use 2 wireless mics simultaneously with the camera, so I would go with the extra mic for me, honestly.
Another great informative and entertaining video. My favorite prat (besides the poop joke at the end) is at 3:10 when you make the awesome sound effect of digital stabilization :)
I love my Pocket 3. It may be my favorite video camera ever and I have had a lot of cameras 🎉
@11:50 EV Comp can maybe realized via the existing joystick. Wish it had some level of IP rating.
Ive had mine a couple of months now and really love it. I don't think the wide angle lense is too good as I don't think it brings much more wide angle, plus I like the default angle the DJI brings.

I appreciate you watching Eddie!
The pocket 3 truly is the best for the ultimate on the go camera I take it everywhere with me and I am never dissapointed with it
Very handsome. Great overview. I didn’t know DJI had that, now I want one.
did you stop using sony zv1 m2 altogether?
So far, I've been very happy with the Pocket 3. Great video thanks for sharing.

Hahaha! At least that one makes sense🤣
Wow what an amazing review! Definitely buying one now!!! Thank you 🙌🏼
David, (re: 8:06), I use the silicone lens cap from my Insta360 X3, which fits nicely over most of the top of the Pocket 3.
I bought it... Allthough there's a long wait time (middle of march) I'm super hyped to hold that thing in my hands... feels like christmas :D
I picked mine up as a Creator Combo on launch day. Love it so far. Like you, I wish we could set the Face Tracking to a different area as default other than center of the screen. But other than that, I love this camera.
Same! I think it was a strange choice because I don't know anyone who wants their face in the middle of the screen, especially for vertical.
@@lisalikesplants You can use the joystick during tracking setup to position where you want your face to stay
Is their a Panoramic mode for making larger prints in post.? Thank You!!

Any sign of a macro lens for the Pocket 3? I know they existed for the Mk1 and I think I saw some for the Mk2 but I've not seen any for the 3.
Best video about this camera
What about over heating up mention 3hrs battery with the extra but most says it over heats
Your sound effects are great. Especially at 2x speed!

The 2 things stopping me from getting one are 1. Want a wider field of view standard, and 2. The filters should be able to stay on when turned off and stored so you don't have to keep taking them off and putting them back on.
I'm not sure where that rumor came from, but you don't have to take the filters off to store the gimbal. They fold up and are completely protected when you put the gimbal in the case
@@DavidManningvlog thanks for replying!
I have the DJI Mic 1 setup. Can this camera link those mics as well? I'm assuming so. Those mics are still solid, so I'm thinking I don't necessarily need the creator combo for that reason.
Love the video - I got the DJI because of this review. Question. My Creator Combo is supposed to have a wide angle lense, but I cannot find it in the packaging. It says on the box its included, where did you find yours?
Found it... tucked in the carry case.
Nice little magnetic spot!
That's really cool pocket 3 love it.nice for sharing your video tips cheers from uk❤
Thanks for the great video 😊
I’m a beginner creator and I’m currently having an I phone 13 plus pro (might update to the 16 plus pro later this year) and a go pro hero 10. So I was actually only looking for a decent mic and thought of getting the DJI wireless mic 2 system.
However after coming across the Osmo Pocket 3 I’m wondering if it would be worth buying it with the creator combo. It would be 300 dollars more expensive than the mic system alone. Obviously the mic system comes with 2 mics a charging case and a receiver which allows to use it on several devices.
Would it be worth to get the Osmo pocket 3 with my current set up and is a bluetooth mic reliable enough to use it also later with an I phone or any other devices?
Or would it make more sense to save the money, get the dji mic 2 set with 2 mics, charging box and receiver?
What programs are you using to edited the Dlog fo9tage to look so good? Wow
Always enjoy your videos! 👍
Your dynamic framing tip: You can achieve the exact same thing, even better, by touching the screen (activating active track) where the subject is (or Selfie-Track) and THEN using the joystick to position the frame.
That way, you can frame more precisely (with dynamic framing you only have the fixed points) and it's quicker compared to dynamic framing. The subject will stay in the place of the frame after using the joystick.
I never understood the dynamic framing feature since you can achieve the same thing much quick.. :)
Waiting for some type of water resistance on the pocket 3. Does not need to be water proof but to record in the rain or snow would be great. Maybe a pocket 3 pro is in the works.
Sorry if I missed it but what is the lens width on the pocket 3?
Thanks for this video I am about to get 1, atm just watching reviews
I just bought the Pocket 3 creator kit (finally in stock) and I’m so excited to try it out!
Question for you… I’m actually considering getting another camera that will operate as a smaller camera that I can use to film inside shopping malls. I’m going to be using the pocket three for this as well, but I’m looking for something even smaller. My GoPro 12 is great in good lighting, but pretty terrible in low light… Would you recommend Ace Pro or The GO3S for filming in artificial light? Could the go3S handle lighting like in a shopping mall or grocery store or inside an artificially lit area?
I dropped mine off my motorcycle I was terrified to look at but it did well just a few small scratches on the gimbal lens is fine 🤞🏼🙌🏼
Going to Africa on for the great migration, do you recommend?
Thank you for the info, I am beginner. Whatvtuoe video software you use fir video which is for beginners. Also can you transfer the file to your phone so I can posted on social media?
Excellent as usual!!!
Why in the world doesn’t the mic connect to the case from side to side to keep the footprint uniform?
I have a silicone cover for my Pocket 3 gimbal head. I wasn't a huge fan of it because it felt like too good of a fit and had a lot of tension when removing it. I felt like it may damage the gimbal over time. Lots of good 3rd party accessories out there now for the camera.
Could I use the DJI Mic 1 on this??
Hi David, thanks for sharing your pocket nice. Lovely to see kids around too lol subbed 🎉❤
Can you monitor/adjust audio input? What is the native video file? Still photo size?
What brand/model is the light green bag you were using?
Can you upload your videos wirelessly to a Mac, or do you have to connect the DJI to your Mac using a USB cable? Thanks.
Couldn’t agree more about the exposure compensation.
Or even simpler, a button (regardless whether physical or right on the touch screen) for auto exposure lock. It’s ridiculous that DJI built in so many pro level features yet it still misses the basics. If it had that, I would upgrade from the Pocket 2 immediately.
With the normal face tracking you can just use the joystick to adjust the framing and it'll keep you there instead of perfectly centered
It helps, but it's still not as solid as Dynamic Framing. The framing shifts way more than if it's locked in with Dynamic framing
