I hear you! It's scary anytime water is involved. It rained the night before we went out. I set my Osmo on the greens and fairway with the mini tripod. You can also bring another tripod out with you to set it up on. Thank you for watching my video!
Cool video. But one thing to note. While DJI markets this as a 1” sensor. It actually is nowhere near a full 1”. I own it and really like it. I just hate that they misrepresented itself and now all RUclipsrs are repeating the 1” false advertising. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you for the clarification, Andrew! I'm really impressed with the images coming off the sensor. Whatever the sensor size is, DJI did something right! Lol Thank you for watching my video!
“When reading about the Pocket 3 at first, I thought: "Wow, a sensor with a 1-inch diagonal? How can they even fit it in this small device?". Now I know: by not having a 1-inch sensor diagonal. So why is it called a "1-inch sensor"? Because it is a measurement from the past millennia. Back then, they measured the outer diameter of a video camera tube. And the size of the photosensitive area was smaller than that ("1-inch sensor"). So nothing you would expect if you are a hobby user of this or were not born back then. To compare what you would expect and what you got: • If the diagonal was 1 inch, then the sensor would have a size of roughly 21.4mm x 14.2mm (1 inch diagonal). • The current Pocket 3 "1 inch sensor" has dimensions of around 13.2mm x 8.8mm and thus a diagonal of 15.8mm (0.62 inch diagonal). So this is, area-wise (!), only around 1/3 of what you would expect. I do not want to argue if this matters, as the DJI Pocket 3 is a very good device. I only want to make people aware of this "marketing trick" that is used by DJI and many, many other companies. PS: Interestingly enough, DJI at first marketed the sensor as having a 1-inch diameter (2nd image in the gallery) and then corrected it a few days later (3rd image). So even they got confused by this.”
love how you take the osmo pocket EVERYWHERE to show the versatile footage you can capture with it!
Thank you, Alicia!! I try my best to showcase all the Osmo Pocket 3 offers!
I tried working the osmo camera on the course but I playing early morning rounds and was too scare of getting it wet.
