Thanks for this walkthrough. While I wait for my OP3 to ship, I'm consuming a lot of videos about it. And like this video, I almost always come across information that others leave out. Cheers.
@@GreatDayForAHike Have you tried any chest or backpack mount for pocket 3? Would love your recommendations! I usually use hiking poles so would be nice to have my hands free. Thank you!
Great video as usual. We would be glad to see you colour grading and trying to make the videos cinematic so that we can compare the videos to other videos from other devices. Cheers
Best setup video by far to date. Thank you. I could not get on with the Pocket 1 & 2 but this iteration deals with all the issues I had. The one thing I miss is that the data does not appear to sync with the Mac (Photos) via USB C.
I appreciate it! Yes I feel like DJI listened to a lot of consumer feedback when they created this camera and it’s well done. Hopefully DJI can address that sync issue in a future firmware upgrade.
I've been using this in favor of my ZV-E1 and the FX3 for a good amount of my shots. Why? It's just easier. Sometimes having all of the gear stops me from filming.
Great video as usual. So clear and precise info on every aspect of these cameras. I take all your recommendations on settings, especially the timelapse features. I'll be upgrading my Action 3 soon to the 4. But now I'm in two minds wether to change to this . There are pros and cons between both to which one suits me for what i do. Thanks for these great videos though.👍
I appreciate your feedback. Yes, this camera surprised me in a good way and I was not expecting the 1” sensor leap and the quality of the footage that this camera provides.
I'm DJI's dream! Now have a drone, Action 3, and Pocket 3. I've set up based on your videos. Thanks. I noticed you fixed WB at 5500 for the Action and 5000 for the pocket. Is there a reason for this, or just a fixed WB at about right for daytime?
Wow, yes you’ve got a lot of DJI devices. It’s a matter of preference mostly. 5500K is a bit warmer and 5000K will be a bit cooler. Either is okay during daylight and mostly is for the feel of the footage that you’d like (warmer vs cooler).
Thank you! This can be turned on via the Parameters Menu. If you swipe left from the right side of the screen and click on Pro in the upper right (if it isn't already enabled), you'll see the Focus Mode option. This is where you'll want to select Product Showcase Mode.
Does anyone know if after the initial setup with the phone, if the camera constantly needs to be connected to the phone or wifi when using it? I'd like to use it standalone.
Great video, thanks! I loved my Pocket 2, but the 3 fixes my biggest issues with the 2 (mainly the screen size and video quality), so I jumped on it quickly! Good setup tips here, but I'd note that setting it to D-Log M apparently limits the max ISO to 3200 rather than 6400. Hopefully not too big a deal, you can always switch to Low Light mode when you need that boost. For the size and convenience, this camera looks like a big win to me, and worth the extra bucks.
Thanks for sharing this information as well! Yes, I definitely agree and recommend switching to low light mode is the way to go if in lighting that justifies needing an ISO higher than 3200. The low light mode with noise reduction on this camera is simply amazing and the ISO in low light mode goes all the way up to 16000 if needed.
Good evening, thank you for sharing this amazing video. I would like to ask a question please. The Pocket 3 just arrived and I've already done some tests, but only by "eye". I do video editing and my eye is quite trained, but I haven't seen a difference in video quality between filming with the "Normal" and "D-Log" options. Yes, it's certainly a softer image, but in practice I don't see a leap in image quality. Can you see it? I don't know if you use the Pocket 3 often, can I ask you if you use it with the "Normal" option or with "D-Log"?* Thank you
That’s a great question. So I do notice that Normal and D-Log M after grading look similar. The biggest difference I notice in quality that stands out the most is when filming in HLG mode. That workflow for grading is a bit different of course but I have created a video on HLG as well. That is available here: czcams.com/video/tiZLYfl4AiE/video.htmlsi=lSapCV_QZxtXg4A7
hi,, may i ask what sd card you are useing? ,, as i cant seem to play my 4k footage back on my laptop from my pocket3,,,can only play 1080p30 any settings higher will only play very slow,,or not at all,,i have up dated all codes for media player from microsoft,,scracting my head, not had this prob before, any help would be greatfull thank you best regards
I am using the SanDisk Extreme Pro. Do you have the HEVC codec installed from the Windows Store? It’s a 99 cent cost but needed for viewing HEVC footage in Windows.
I have pocket 3 on order, this an extremely packed review and is just what I need thanks. You say you will be doing an ND review and this is what I’ve been waiting for.
Yes, it is unfortunate the battery is not removable. Yes, the price is quite a jump over the Osmo Pocket 2. I get it that DJI improved many aspects of this camera but that price is quite a hike.
I have a "strange" question... Is this camera capable for a WEBCAM,have you tried to use it it this way and if yes whats your thoughts? This is e very interesting scenario.
Yes, it allows for external chargers or power banks while recording. I’ve done several time lapses already with the Pocket 3 with it powered via a USB-C power bank and have had no issues.
Hey there it looks like there are dropped frames when watching the video. I had this issue when uploading a short via my mobile device, did you upload this video on your phone? When I uploaded my short on the computer the video looked normal. 😢
You can do so via the Bluetooth connection and WiFi between the camera and your phone. This means your phone doesn’t have to be connected to a WiFi router but instead a WiFi connection is established between your phone and the camera.
Thank you. In order to capture D-Log M 10-bit on this camera you do have to use the HEVC codec. If you use the h.264 codec you will not be able to film in D-Log M.
what's going on with the frame/shutter matching in some of these clips? Is your shutter lower the frame speed in the clips of you holding it? Or you've done some sort of time stretching?
If you’re referring to the footage that was filmed with the Osmo Pocket 3 menus this was filmed on the iPhone 15 Pro in ProRes mode to an external SSD. The SSD and cable were plenty fast enough to support this but there was still some type of issue. Apple apparently is aware of this and working on a solution. Until then, I won’t be using my IPhone for any further close up walkthroughs like this.
I currently shoot and edit my videos (for fun) on my iPhone and have zero experience color correcting at all in post. Would you still recommend shooting in raw? I use the app splice but hope to get an iPad Pro one day and edit with Final Cut Pro and hopefully learn how to do add color correction to my skill set.
I want to try maybe i can take advantage of larger sensor and how its photography compared to the smartphone For the image and the details like portrait and other details I use samsung s21 and how does it compare to this camera and maybe iphone 12 or 13
Yes it’s definitely worth trying out to see how you like it. Most companies have at least a 14 day return policy with this camera if it doesn’t work out for you.
i really found this video very helpful as my Pocket 3 will arrive tomorrow. I've seen some other CZcams videos with frame rate and shutter speed were set separately. Was this done through the Mimo app?
You are able to set frame rate via the main menu at the bottom and then to set a static shutter speed value you would do this by bringing up the menu on the right and selecting M under the Exposure option. You can then select a static shutter speed value there. This is especially useful when using ND filters and for the 180 degree shutter rule for motion blur.
This is an amazing video thanks for the detailed setup guide. Quick Q please, when you switch between forward facing and selfie mode does your screen flicker and mirror very quickly at the end of the transition? Thanks
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I have noticed mine do that at the end of the transition. It’s fast but when I have looked closely I have noticed that.
@@GreatDayForAHike okay, thanks for commfirming. Some are saying its a fault, others are saying its normal behaviour. I imagine it will be an easy firmware fix if it is a fault. Thanks again for the detailed setup video 👍🏻
Hi, I saw a couple of reviews on the 3 and please give me your feedback. One is the auto focus isn't always responsive, I assume you didn't find this to be the case? Thanks!
I recommend you set it to 4K 24fps or 30fps. As far as color settings pick standard if you don’t want to grade the footage later on. Make sure face tracking is turned on as well. Shutter speed and ISO should be fine at Auto for talking head footage. Have fun!
I own the Creator Edition as well. I bought both. I featured the standard edition because a) The Creator Edition I bought was delayed and b) I wanted to show what came with the standard edition as a minimum. I do like the three main extras the creator edition includes: 1) DJI Mic 2, 2) 15mm wide angle lens, 3) Additional battery. I have been playing around with those. I’ll talk about those a bit more in upcoming content.
Nice video. This might be me playing within the settings is when I use the screen flip to start the camera and start recording automatically, when I press the button to stop recording that first clip, the camera wants to turn off. It gives me 2 seconds on the screen to hit 'Continue' or it shuts off. If I turn the camera on with the button, it works fine. Surely the benefit of being able to turn the screen to start the camera and start recording automatically is not as useful if it wants to shut down as soon as you stop filming that first clip. Is it as setting I have changed, I cant find it if it is?
Thank you. Yes, this function is called "Screen Rotate & Capture." If you swipe down from the top to the Control Menu, this option should be the second one from the left on the top row. If you toggle this off, this will return the device to the standard function of rotating the screen to have it power on without recording at power on.
@@GreatDayForAHike Thanks for the reply, found it, I must have turned it on. Shame it tries to turn off again as soon as you stop the first clip. I kept missing the 2 second warning and it kept shutting down. I like the idea of getting started quickly, maybe they will add more useful options later. Thanks again.
@stephengibbons Yes, I agree. If DJI would allow this functionality without defaulting to a power off right after stopping recording that would be nice. Maybe this can be changed via a future firmware update.
Great camera and useful video. If I remember correctly you could time your motionlapse on the original Pocket. Then the camera could capture the sunrise while you were sleeping. Is that possible on Pocket 3?
@@GreatDayForAHike did see that, I was wondering about the parameters like in the action 4. 1/100-1/200 etc. I guess with nd filters you just stick to the 180 degree rule
@brianfentress4739 Yes, with this camera due to the 1” sensor and the mechanical stabilization unless I am using ND filters I leave the shutter speed at Auto. If I am using ND filters I set the shutter speed to a static value to fulfill the 180 degree shutter angle while ensuring the exposure value as is as close to 0.0 or slightly underexposed as possible.
Please can you tell me what firmware you were using? My Pocket 3 only goes up to ISO 3200 in video mode. Also, my gimbal is very limited turning to the left. Do you have the same issues? Thanks
I was using firmware version 01.01.08.50. If using D-Log M this does limit the max ISO to 3200 but if an ISO higher than 3200 is needed I recommend using Low Light Mode anyway.
Just saw your excellent tutorial. Damn, just returned mine because I thought it couldn't save the RAW images when performing timelapse's. So I seem to be wrong...will get it again...
Great camera and Ive been having alot of fun with it. My only gripe is that I lost my wide angle lens on the first day with it while casually recording with it at the zoo. I didn't think too much about the lens falling off, because everyone was stating that it is a stronger magnet and it should stick better, but to my surprise, my wide angle lens was gone when I checked my gimbal the following day. Such a bummer, for $50, I'm worried it would pop off again somehow and end up lost. Other than that, it's a wonderful camera.
Yes it is a fun camera. I agree, that wide angle lens is easy to lose. I have noticed the magnet isn’t all that strong. The $50 price tag on the wide angle lens seems a bit steep too.
@@GreatDayForAHikeI just placed an order for another WA lens last night from Adorama. It's currently on back ordered from most websites. I will definitely be more mindful of try not to lose it this second time around. ** Cheers **
@@smallbizdigitalmedia although that may be true, but those 5 mm does help when I am trying to fit two people into the frame when in selfie portrait mode. it was either attaching the WA lens to fit 2 people into the frame or attaching a longer tripod to the P3 (in which case I would have to carry more gear).
Nice Video. Thanks. One question though - I ordered this and got a sandisk extreme card instead of extreme pro. Do you think I’ll have issues with this card being too slow?
Thank you. You should be okay with that card. That card you got is on the list DJI recommends for the Pocket 3 as fully compatible. My card is a bit overkill for this camera but on the Osmo Action 4 the standard SanDisk Extreme card would not keep up in certain filming situations so I bought an extra for the OA4 and now have it for this camera 😂
@@GreatDayForAHike Sounds good, but I hope I don’t run into that issue. I saw the extreme pro on the recommended list but not extreme which does concern me.
@iamrishio If the card you received was included with the bundle from DJI it should be okay. If it wasn’t included then you may want to return the card (if you can for a refund) and get the Pro version just to be safe.
Great question. It seems there has been an issue with the DJI Mimo app and Android for a while now. I’m not sure of all of the details and such but it would be nice if DJI provided a means for those without an iPhone to activate via a web portal or some other alternative.
I’ve got another question. Do you know if you can stack filters? I’m especially interested if I can you stack the black mist filter with nd filters and am also wondering what happens if you turn the camera off with the filter on the lens.
These are both great questions! You cannot stack filters unfortunately. That is a real bummer because the combo of filters you mention would be fabulous. If you turn it off with the filter on there, there is not enough clearance for the gimbal to tuck in without the filter hitting.
@@GreatDayForAHike Thanks for the replies! Appreciate it. I guess I can live without stacking, but it would be very problematic if I had to put on and take off the nd filter everytime I turn on and off the camera. I don’t think any reviewers talked about this but I saw an old video which said you had to take off the nd filter for the pocket 2 because there wasn’t any clearance and it also effected the gimbal balance.
@@GreatDayForAHike Ahh, that’s too bad. For clarification, can it be turned off without being tucked away and still work properly or does it go bonkers if you accidentally turn it off with an nd filter attached? I can’t imagine how I would use this with an ND filter to film unless I leave the camera on all the time somehow.
Do you know if the motionlaspe can also be set for portrait mode? I’ve been hoping this was a new feature but haven’t had anyone confirm they’ve tried it. Thank you
@zacheryquack1 Yes they sure do. Just make sure you set the auto-rotate option in the main menu under time lapse mode. Also note that in portrait mode the resolution is a bit lower (max of 2.7K 30) in time lapse mode.
So bummed. None of us have the phones compatible with the Mimo app and so I cannot even use my Pocket 3. Seriously?? I have to buy a new phone at more cost just to use this?! Called support and he said there is nothing to be done without the upgraded phone. Have a Samsung Note 10.
Yes, DJI apps have not been easily compatible with Android phones since about 2021 it seems. Not entirely sure who is to blame for this but I wish DJI would make it possible to activate via a method other than the app as well.
It’s actually a bit more complicated than that but you’re right about it being a bit choppy. Using ProRes format and recording to external device. The external device and the thunderbolt cable both support the needed write speeds but that was still the result. This is apparently a known issue that Apple is working on. Until then no more iPhone filming 😂 Guess I’ll have to use a second Osmo Pocket 3 to film about the Osmo Pocket 3.
I don’t understand why the activation should be done through the phone app, and same nonsense is with that battery appendix, the people who do these things are deliberately creating a lot of flaws in it, and it doesn't help build trust in this company.
I agree. That is frustrating when it takes DJI longer to get a product delivered than a bunch of other retailers such as Best Buy, B&H Photo, or Amazon that often get camera into the buyer’s hands within 1-2 days.
This was great. I was grateful that you paced the instructions so that we could follow along. too many how-tos rush through.
Thank you for your feedback and support. I really appreciate it.

This might be me playing within the settings is when I use the screen flip to start the camera and start recording automatically, when I press the button to stop recording that first clip, the camera wants to turn off. It gives me 2 seconds on the screen to hit 'Continue' or it shuts off.
If I turn the camera on with the button, it works fine. Surely the benefit of being able to turn the screen to start the camera and start recording automatically is not as useful if it wants to shut down as soon as you stop filming that first clip.
Is it as setting I have changed, I cant find it if it is?
Thank you. Yes, this function is called "Screen Rotate & Capture." If you swipe down from the top to the Control Menu, this option should be the second one from the left on the top row. If you toggle this off, this will return the device to the standard function of rotating the screen to have it power on without recording at power on.
@@GreatDayForAHike Thanks for the reply, found it, I must have turned it on. Shame it tries to turn off again as soon as you stop the first clip. I kept missing the 2 second warning and it kept shutting down. I like the idea of getting started quickly, maybe they will add more useful options later. Thanks again.
@stephengibbons Yes, I agree. If DJI would allow this functionality without defaulting to a power off right after stopping recording that would be nice. Maybe this can be changed via a future firmware update.
Will the P3 shorn while plugged into a block usb battery?
Great camera and useful video. If I remember correctly you could time your motionlapse on the original Pocket. Then the camera could capture the sunrise while you were sleeping. Is that possible on Pocket 3?
i didnt see you mention the exposure settings, maybe i overlooked it but just curious the exposure settings
I recommend setting EV Comp to -0.3 for best results. For the ISO range and shutter speed I recommend Auto for both.
@@GreatDayForAHike did see that, I was wondering about the parameters like in the action 4. 1/100-1/200 etc. I guess with nd filters you just stick to the 180 degree rule
@brianfentress4739 Yes, with this camera due to the 1” sensor and the mechanical stabilization unless I am using ND filters I leave the shutter speed at Auto. If I am using ND filters I set the shutter speed to a static value to fulfill the 180 degree shutter angle while ensuring the exposure value as is as close to 0.0 or slightly underexposed as possible.
@@GreatDayForAHike thanks for the reply! Exactly what I was wanting to know. Great channel btw
@brianfentress4739 Thank you. I appreciate it.
Please can you tell me what firmware you were using? My Pocket 3 only goes up to ISO 3200 in video mode. Also, my gimbal is very limited turning to the left. Do you have the same issues? Thanks
I was using firmware version 01.01.08.50. If using D-Log M this does limit the max ISO to 3200 but if an ISO higher than 3200 is needed I recommend using Low Light Mode anyway.
@@GreatDayForAHikeI was on D-Log M. Thank you.
@@camexplora9742 You’re welcome
Just saw your excellent tutorial. Damn, just returned mine because I thought it couldn't save the RAW images when performing timelapse's. So I seem to be wrong...will get it again...
Yes, I would probably return mine too if I couldn’t get the RAW images as well. It gives a lot more flexibility and quality when editing.
Great camera and Ive been having alot of fun with it. My only gripe is that I lost my wide angle lens on the first day with it while casually recording with it at the zoo. I didn't think too much about the lens falling off, because everyone was stating that it is a stronger magnet and it should stick better, but to my surprise, my wide angle lens was gone when I checked my gimbal the following day. Such a bummer, for $50, I'm worried it would pop off again somehow and end up lost. Other than that, it's a wonderful camera.
Yes it is a fun camera. I agree, that wide angle lens is easy to lose. I have noticed the magnet isn’t all that strong. The $50 price tag on the wide angle lens seems a bit steep too.
@@GreatDayForAHikeI just placed an order for another WA lens last night from Adorama. It's currently on back ordered from most websites. I will definitely be more mindful of try not to lose it this second time around. ** Cheers **
@datboytam I’ll have to be attentive to this with mine as well with the goal of not losing it.
Sorry to hear that but is it that big a loss as it does not seem much wider and the edges are apparently quite soft?
@@smallbizdigitalmedia although that may be true, but those 5 mm does help when I am trying to fit two people into the frame when in selfie portrait mode. it was either attaching the WA lens to fit 2 people into the frame or attaching a longer tripod to the P3 (in which case I would have to carry more gear).
Nice Video. Thanks. One question though - I ordered this and got a sandisk extreme card instead of extreme pro. Do you think I’ll have issues with this card being too slow?
Thank you. You should be okay with that card. That card you got is on the list DJI recommends for the Pocket 3 as fully compatible. My card is a bit overkill for this camera but on the Osmo Action 4 the standard SanDisk Extreme card would not keep up in certain filming situations so I bought an extra for the OA4 and now have it for this camera 😂
@@GreatDayForAHike Sounds good, but I hope I don’t run into that issue. I saw the extreme pro on the recommended list but not extreme which does concern me.
@iamrishio If the card you received was included with the bundle from DJI it should be okay. If it wasn’t included then you may want to return the card (if you can for a refund) and get the Pro version just to be safe.
@iamrishio Also, if the card is not fast enough to keep up, DJI devices will usually flash an error message about this during recording.
Can i use v 60 micro sd
What about activation for android ????
Great question. It seems there has been an issue with the DJI Mimo app and Android for a while now. I’m not sure of all of the details and such but it would be nice if DJI provided a means for those without an iPhone to activate via a web portal or some other alternative.
How do you ZOOM the video while recording?
On the right hand side of the screen there is a small button with a plus and minus on it that allows for zooming while recording.
I’ve got another question. Do you know if you can stack filters? I’m especially interested if I can you stack the black mist filter with nd filters and am also wondering what happens if you turn the camera off with the filter on the lens.
These are both great questions! You cannot stack filters unfortunately. That is a real bummer because the combo of filters you mention would be fabulous.
If you turn it off with the filter on there, there is not enough clearance for the gimbal to tuck in without the filter hitting.
@@GreatDayForAHike Thanks for the replies! Appreciate it. I guess I can live without stacking, but it would be very problematic if I had to put on and take off the nd filter everytime I turn on and off the camera. I don’t think any reviewers talked about this but I saw an old video which said you had to take off the nd filter for the pocket 2 because there wasn’t any clearance and it also effected the gimbal balance.
@iamrishio Correction: the filter does have to remove if you want the camera to tuck in all the way when powering off.
@@GreatDayForAHike Ahh, that’s too bad. For clarification, can it be turned off without being tucked away and still work properly or does it go bonkers if you accidentally turn it off with an nd filter attached? I can’t imagine how I would use this with an ND filter to film unless I leave the camera on all the time somehow.
@iamrishio When I tried it, the gimbal hit the edge and then stopped but didn’t seem to keep attempting to rotate. So that at least was good.
Do you know if the motionlaspe can also be set for portrait mode? I’ve been hoping this was a new feature but haven’t had anyone confirm they’ve tried it. Thank you
I tested motionlapse in portrait mode and it works for me.
@@GreatDayForAHike That is awesome. Thanks for the feedback. Great video
@poolpros8875 Thank you.
Hi there, does this mean timelapses work in portrait mode as well?
@zacheryquack1 Yes they sure do. Just make sure you set the auto-rotate option in the main menu under time lapse mode. Also note that in portrait mode the resolution is a bit lower (max of 2.7K 30) in time lapse mode.
So bummed. None of us have the phones compatible with the Mimo app and so I cannot even use my Pocket 3. Seriously?? I have to buy a new phone at more cost just to use this?! Called support and he said there is nothing to be done without the upgraded phone. Have a Samsung Note 10.
Yes, DJI apps have not been easily compatible with Android phones since about 2021 it seems. Not entirely sure who is to blame for this but I wish DJI would make it possible to activate via a method other than the app as well.
I was thinking about that too.but thank God,i manage to download the mimmo app on my motorola phone.
Does it support hevc ? I see this info in lot of descriltions.
Yes, this camera defaults to the HEVC code and if you want to use the 10-bit modes you’ll want to keep it set to HEVC.
@@GreatDayForAHike thats fantastic for me as da vinci user 👍
@allstarbury Absolutely.
Hi. Tkank you for your tutorial. I have very important question. Is the focus can be locked?
Did you mess up framerate setting on this video? Your video looks very weird for some reason. Almost looks like you shot it at very low framerate.
I just get an update for 4k120 dlogm
Yes, a recent firmware update came out that enables this and some other new features
The frame rate you use on your iphone is really making your video very choppy.
It’s actually a bit more complicated than that but you’re right about it being a bit choppy. Using ProRes format and recording to external device. The external device and the thunderbolt cable both support the needed write speeds but that was still the result. This is apparently a known issue that Apple is working on. Until then no more iPhone filming 😂
Guess I’ll have to use a second Osmo Pocket 3 to film about the Osmo Pocket 3.
Do you have a Russian language?
I’ll see if I can setup subtitles or translation for this. There are some new tools available that may make this possible.
@@GreatDayForAHike Is there a Russian language in the camera?
Bro, why not COMBO? 150 dollars is not money for you
I bought the combo as well but I didn’t yet have it when I filmed this video.
I don’t understand why the activation should be done through the phone app, and same nonsense is with that battery appendix, the people who do these things are deliberately creating a lot of flaws in it, and it doesn't help build trust in this company.
Three kids and still has time to make a video on you tube… skills. 😅
It’s all about making the most of every minute and really good time management 😂
Be great if mine had been delivered DJI used DHL and Friday delivery delayed until Tuesday, pity DJI use such a pathetic logistics company
I agree. That is frustrating when it takes DJI longer to get a product delivered than a bunch of other retailers such as Best Buy, B&H Photo, or Amazon that often get camera into the buyer’s hands within 1-2 days.
