A great idea in theory and I thought I had found the perfect solution for protecting the Pocket 3. Unfortunately, however, there is one major drawback that I hadn't considered and it turned out to be a showstopper: the case, as a thick, black shell that completely encloses the camera, inevitably causes it to overheat after a relatively short time during longer shots in warm weather (several shots lasting 5 to 10 minutes). This is likely the reason why DJI did NOT provide the Pocket 3 with a fixed protective cover: the camera needs air to dissipate the heat. A "winter coat" like this case considerably hinders cooling and the camera switches off after a while. You then have to take the Pocket 3 out of the case to let it cool down, which is ultimately frustrating and counterproductive.
Hi …Thanks for watching and your perspective…I haven’t had that happen yet..but it’s not full summer temps in Las Vegas yet. But something I’ll keep an eye out for and let you know if anything happens.
Without battery handle is nicer because then the Pocket3 internal battery can drain more regularly. The battery handle being always attached keeps the Pocket3 always charged 100% which would shorten the battery life.
Hi Carol thanks so much for watching and for the feedback..keep making great stuff …question…will your 4th axis gimbal hold the weight of the pocket 3 in the pro case ?
Hi.. thanks for watching.. and I have fixed the link.. Yes I bought the big one but there are smaller sizes you can pick from. It looks bigger on camera but it is about the same size as the camera in the stock case. If you are considering protection and need something smaller check out the shorter handle one without the battery or the new slim one.

Hi Earle.. thank you so much for watching and your comment.
Hey Jason, it's Carol from Scotty Makes Stuff! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely review with everyone - it's really great! 😃

@@jasonlynch9979 You're more than welcome! The Micro Pro series will easily take that weight.
@@ScottyMakesStuff Awesome.. Thank you so much.. that will be next for me.
Great review, I just ordered one! Thanks again for the info
Glad this helped..thank you for watching
That is freaking HUGE!! Don't think that will be allowed on a flight as a carry on 🤣 j/k though I'll pass
Hi.. Thanks for watching.. Check out their slim one.. That wasn’t available when I bought mine.
@@jasonlynch9979 oh ok Thanks
That case is insanely too big. By the way, your link in the description for the Pocket 3 actually takes you to the Pocket 2 creator kit.
