Great video - I’ll add a couple more…. The pocket 3 will always get a straight horizon (which most beginner photographers never seem to remember to do).. and with pocket 3 you can connect to mimo and then take the photos remotely. So for instance, leave pocket pointing at flower and go have a pint on the patio…. As soon as pretty bumble bee lands on flower, kick off a great photo, or even 120 slo motion wonder shot with tap of the screen. And another, try doing a motion lapse on your smart-phone…. :)
Very informative AND entertaining review! Thank you for that! For me as a real estate photo/ videographer the pocket3 is a bless! In some cases I use the Pocket 3 as a replacing photo camera as well. I figured out how to make a prefix for straighten things out in Lightroom when using the Pocket 3 wide-angle lens. At location this little device on a light Ricoh 360 tripod handles so easy; you can place it almost everywhere. When controlled with the app on you phone you don't have to fold yourself in difficult places. Just go to the next room and make the magic happen with your phone. So much more conveniënt then using a heavy cam on a heavy tripod! The main (Dutch) Real Estate website only accept photos of 2160*1440 px, so enough to play with. If only... there was a bit longer exposing time to keep the ISO low as you mentioned. And... if bracketing /HDR comes available; this would be my main cam for most of the the assignments in stead of my Canon R full frame. Strange is'n it? Hope DJI is listening... 😉
I think OP3 wins for walking talking head and cinematic B-Roll option. iPhone wins for social media accessibility, immediate uploads to things like Instagram, tiktok. Two different tools for the tool belt as many have said.
I like the Pocket 3 photo at 4:43 as it looks warmer, more natural, and the bokeh makes it look great. Somehow the iPhone one (on the right) looks a little more like artificial sharpness, flat, and one-dimensional without the bokeh.
The one thing that frustrates me about DJI is their lack of explanation as to why certain features are the way they are. 1 second shutter speed for example? Why? If they updated the firmware with most of the things you've mentioned, given it's price, it would be very hard to beat. Cheers!
Yeah. It’s a fair point. I still think it’s very hard to beat for the functionality and quality though. That aside, I feel photo mode is just an add on. Definitely a video first device IMO
@@VicBarry 100%. I very rarely take photos with it, mainly videos. In fact, wouldn't bother me if they took the photo ability away and just had it as a video camera and update the f*** out of the firmware 🤣
What an insightful video. Finally a comparison on the photo aspect. Just got myself a pocket 3 for travel purposes as it's too bulky to bring my A7iii along everywhere even though i'm more of a photo person than a video one. Was wondering if the OP3 would do better than a smartphone & got my answer here. Earned yourself a subscriber! Love the ending :)
Hello, thank you for a great video. I am planning for a solo travel and want to use Dji osmo pocket 3 on stand and take my own pictures. Can you tell me if its worth it?
Great video! I was searching to see if someone compared the pocket 3 to an iphone front camera. Good to know that if I get one, the pocket 3 will look better than my iphone 12 pro front camera.
@@VicBarry as i destroyed the main lens on my 13 pro max and replaced with a foggy "OEM" (POS).... that's where i'm torn... - I simply need to focus on that story side of your review and I would probably be fine living in a 2k world and continuing my 4k existence within the hands of you professionals 👍🏼
My Pocket 1 was a work horse and I created and captured so many stories and memories with it. I want to get the Pocket 3 but the price is still too high for me. With a hundred more or two, I could get myself a n excellent used 15 Pro, even 16 Pro. Some other advantages of an iPhone is water resistance, battery life and more focal points. Some venues might not know what the Pocket 3 and won’t allow it in concerts and such too, while they allow phones in. Pocket 3 is a great tool but for my needs right now, a new iPhone would get more usage.
My OP3 shots are either great or garbage. Most shots of people come with eyes blurred or closed and its so frustrating. Like even clicking selfies half my shots are eyes closed. Is it cause of the slower shutter speed in low light? Anyway to tackle it expect for not blinking lol.
Finally!!!!! Somebody covered photography on this camera!! I’m looking to invest in a good camera to do more content that is more well rounded so that I don’t need all the extra gadgets because I’m not a photographer. I’m just a girl 😂I want something that can satisfy my needs to record good quality and take good pictures. Your video was the first I came across that actually covered this!! I was sold on it before but now I’m reaallyyyy sold 🤣🤝🏽🫶🏽 thank you for covering this
Wondering how the Osmo Pocket 3 performs after a year? Check out my review: ruclips.net/video/QIRS4hDryPA/видео.html
One of the few photograpbers to focus on photos. Thanks

hi! can you explain what you mean by "take the photos remotely? pls?
@@fioreintech Mimo is the phone app for the Osmo Pocket 3, which can control it remotely.

Next time use the back iPhone main lens...
The picture's quality is really good. I hope one day DJI will come up with a small camera that can do a lot of zoom like RX100 VII.

Photos are just a bonus with the Pocket 3. It’s a video camera, and a very good one.

Great to hear! Thanks Darren
Wow I would have never thought to use it in those ways, thanks for helping me get my money’s worth!

Great video Barry… keep at it.
What camera and lens are you using on this video? Great set up!
Hey :) From what I remember it's the Sony FX3 and a Viltrox 16mm Lens...I think ;)
Great examples; Thanks Vic!
Thanks pal. What do you reckon? Worth the extra for a flagship phone?

@lambo_drives ouch. 😣 great reply and very true 🔥🙏
Great video, thank you! Very helpful.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching. Did you think there is a big difference in the photos?
Can take your own pictures using standard and follow mode?
Can panoramic mode be used as selfie? as in taking it via the opposite direction?
It cant
3840*2160 photo from OP3 is perfect and sharpest than any camera or mobile phone on 4K big screen monitors.
proof ?
@@DoKaTS If you have a perfectly calibrated 42" 4K monitor, you can tell the truth easily.
You are an amazing story teller. 😍
Thank you so much!
Just for my own reference, what makes you think that? (Always love to hear feedback so I can improve)
Great video.
Great edit and thanks for sharing your a legend. 👌🙌👍
Excellent video, I like all of the info and your presentation is great! I am going to subscribe now!
Thanks Larry 🙏
Thanks!
Thank YOU Norman 🙏
You are welcome Vic. I don’t think people realize how expensive making these teaching videos can be. Hope you get more help from our team.
:) Thanks Norman, appreciate the comment and acknowledgment big time! And thank YOU for all your support!
Great video!
Thanks for taking the time to watch it 🙏

It is the same problem with traditional cameras and phone cameras. Just take 2 consecutive shots at one go will minimise the blinking problem.
Op3 photo taking speed is 3 seconds, that's why eyes are closed or blurry. Op3 is very bad in photography.
Ok you are funny… I’m subscribing 😂
