- I took the pocket 3 out to see how well it performed in day and night conditions in auto mode & pro mode with d-log m and normal as the color profile
*No adjustments have been made to any clips apart from the D-log M clips which have been color corrected

You are a godsend! Seriously man, I've learned so much from your vids on the pocket 3. Can't wait to test it out in January when I'm back in Thailand 👍
glad I could help mate! not long now for u to wait until u jet off 🚀
I really like your videos and the way you explain things. That P3 makes even a dull & wet boring London day look good.👍
ahh thanks mate! yeah every time I shoot with it I’m just like 🤯
This is the best idea I have seen regarding the Osmo Pocket 3. Thank you for your detailed explanation and examples.
no problem! glad u liked it 😎
I’m actually impressed by auto mode. I usually have mine in pro mode with -3 exposure and normal colors.
yeah auto mode is so so good! only thing is tho it does over expose things a lot sometimes so need to make sure u adjust the ev like u do in pro mode
At 30 or 60 FPS? but correct a little less at 60, right?
something about auto, that makes the image pop more than in the Dlog shots.
I've seen this in other vlogs too where the p3 , slays cameras 6 times more expensive exposing skin tones. I wonder if dji is running some type of ai tech "under the hood" they are testing & not promoting
@@aleckinch1199 which expensive camera r talking about. I'm curious to know 😅
The Pocket 3's remarkable performance packed into its compact form factor is truly impressive, defying expectations with its powerful capabilities.
couldn’t of said it better myself!
Excellent. Annotated videos like this take time and trouble to produce, so thanks!.. And I always love seeing London scenes from here in australia. Carnaby Street seems to have changed quite a bit since the days when I used to wander down there in the 60's!
no problem, glad u liked it 😎 ahh I’m slightly jealous at thinking how much warmer Australia currently is than london
In the 1960"s😂 your and old geezer mait, ✋️ wait. Im-a turning 60 this year. Lived in NW 10 for around 7-8 years now back in da States. Maybe I'll video some night life in Detrbefor we move back to the old baily 😆
Nice tests, James! Really interesting to see how it performs 👏
thanks 😎 yeah it’s a mighty little beast!
Pretty good in all three modes ! Thank you for sharing !
yes! very hard to tell the difference sometimes 😎
nice video comparison ... bought the camera and happy with the results ... excited to use it for my upcoming projects :)
thanks 😎 yeah it’s an amazing little beast!
Great video. Is it possible to get a snippet of the DLOG footage for download, esp the night ones, so I can do test on them and see whether I should buy one. CZcams makes it hard to see the true quality due to compression, and it doesn’t help DJI can’t even provide footages for download so the quality can be judged better
that audio transition at 2:15 jesus 🥵 🔥
great soundtrack great video! ty james
hahaa 😎 thanks man!
Thank's very much ! I love your video. Hello from France
ah thank u 😎 hello from london 👋🏾
Does D-log M require any specific exposure values? Like how S-log2/3 from Sony requires +1.3~2 stops of overexposure.
Nice review and footage is great!
thanks 😎
Is normal just rhe same as dlog with the dji pocket 3 lut applied?
Awesome footage James, subbed.
thanks mate and welcome 😎
Wow!! nice video James.. I like Automode👍👍
You have one of the best footages, if you could do a comparison with the ace pro it would be awesome
thanks man! my ace pro vids are coming this week, watch this space…
Would have been nice to know which color space you were filming in with auto mode.
Nice video comparison ! what brand ND8 did you use in the video ?
thanks 😎 I use the filters from Freewell, I’ve just added a link to the description
@@james.loxton ok thanks 👍i only need the ND8 and ND16 ;) i hope the have a smaller pack in the future
Thanks for this. I feel the Pocket has finally come of age. Can I ask what your editing package is?
yeah, it’s a BEAST 🤯 I use premiere pro
It is realy beautiful.
So the conclusion is the auto mode is enough? I can't see much differences between the different settings.
And may I ask why you selected 4K25FPS and not 60? Does 25 give a more cinemative feel or other advantages?
auto mode is literally great and like u say sometimes u can’t really see hardly any difference. I shoot most my stuff in 25 due to living in the uk sometimes when I shoot in a different frame rate I have issues with flickering lights in auto mode and I prefer the look over shooting in 60 (unless I’m planning to slow it down) and yes it can add that cinematic look
Can u leave a coment of how to color correct for d log m color profile love your shots looks amazing 🎥🔥
Amazing footage! Hard to believe this coming from such a small device.
such a little beast 🤯🤩
👏👏👏Filming on wet days always gives more cinematic feel
yesssss, it definitely does 😎 just annoying using an umbrella
may i ask why sharpness and noise reduction is at -2? wouldnt 0 be completely neutral? also if you want a super sharp image and low noise and cant edit that post. would it make a difference to out those settings higher?
it looks artificial if you leave both at 0. So most people set it to -2 that edit their video set it to -2. You can also add sharpness back when you edit it in post. It is an easy correction in post. Hope that helps.
Do you recommend to put sharpness and noise reduction both to -2 rather than zero in auto mode? And if so, WHY to -2 and NOT zero? And, if both values are on -2 do you sharpen and reduce the noise while editing the video?
I did various different tests with them at different values and found I liked the look of the clips with them both set to -2 pretty much all the time, same goes for the action 4… I guess it’s personal preference, there’s no right or wrong to it, maybe play around with them as well and see where ur sweet spot is
Hi ! Nice video and comparison 👍🏻 very surprised that you shot with continuous focus mode but the result is perfect. I was thinking in this mode the focus will « jump » from near to far but it’s not happening. Was thinking that, while filming cities, it was needed to use the fixe focus mode setting the focus on the furthest point… thank you !
thank u 😎 yeah, I was surprised too tbh, I did various different tests with the focus settings and was happy with the way continuous performed which is why I keep it in that mode pretty much most of the time when shooting with the p3
Auto focus is superb on Pocket 3 but now and then it will mess you up!
Good to see the results of various pro settings. I’m still struggling on doing the color correction right. Any suggestions on easy to use editing tool? Thanks a lot.
if u download the d-log m lut for the pocket 3 from the DJI website that will give u a great starting point and make it much easier for u
Just use the lut between 60-80%. 100% is to much contrast and saturation. Let’s hope black magic give us a proper more natural conversion lut soon.
Great video, could you do a hlg video as well, would be greatly appreciated 🙏 I’m New to the camera game.
Amazing . Im intrested about D logM . Its like hollywood Quality . Thanks again
thanks 😎 d-log m is defo the best of the best!
It all looks fantastic. Can you do a side by side for an easier comparison? Thanks for the video!
no problem 😎 yeah I’ll make sure to have more side by side shots in future vids to make it easier to compare 👍🏾
Nice video. What about 10-bit HLG? I find that when I shoot 10-bit HLG it looks washed out on the Pocket 3 screen, but transfer it to your iPhone or a screen that supports HDR and it comes alive!! Really looks nice and (maybe) not much grading needed.
thanks 😎 I actually don’t like the HLG on the pocket 3 as much as the other profiles plus I had a nightmare with the HLG files in premiere so I decided to scrap them altogether
what do you think is better? Locking the shutter speed or having it adjust on its own? Also, did you mess with EV settings at all? I noticed it gets blown out, so I'm going to try -0.7ev
i always prefer locking the shutter speed in so I know what it’s doing. as for the EV, yes ur right that’s one of the annoying things with the pocket 3, the exposure so I usually float between -0.3 and -1.0
Very nice video. Did you had any problems with auto whitebalance and focus?
And where do you find that music, free to use? 🎅
thanks 😎 nah I didn’t have any problems tbh, it handles it very well in auto mode and I find continuous focus to be the best for shots like this… I get my music from artlist
@@james.loxton Thanks a lot. Cheers
Hi. Great footage. Did you slow it down a little in post?
thanks 😎 no no, nothing has been slowed down… in fact no adjustments have been made to any clips apart from the d-log m clips
Muchas gracias por el video. Saludos
no problem 😎
Very nice! I was wondering... I've noticed you, and a lot of videographers turn down the sharpness a couple of stops. Is that to get a 'warmer', more 'cinematic' look? Anyway, looks great!
thanks 😎 I turn down the sharpness cos sometimes without it turned down it can make the image look very digital and sharp so turning it down softens it out
It's doesn't change anything about the color. The sharpness reduced to -2 is because the videos are too sharp at 0. It's better to add a bit of sharpness if necessary after the color grading.
auto seems to be enough. Is it 10bit also?
Good work
thanks man 😎
M really impressed with Auto mode night videos!
Coz pro mode is always failing me !
Question: should we use ND filters for night videos to reduce the sharp lights?
auto mode is so so good 🤩 no, don’t use nd filters at night. If the lights are too sharp for u then u can use a light pollution or mist filter. check out my freewell video as I talk about those filters in that vid FREEWELL ND FILTERS FOR THE DJI POCKET 3 - GET THAT CINEMATIC LOOK!

@@james.loxton thanks buddy for your reply it helps :)
You are teaching us best settings for Pocket 3 👍
Beautiful video. London never looked prettier ❤
thanks 😎 yeah this was around Christmas time so it looked really nice dressed up in certain places
Dont know where this is but its beautiful. Another great video.
Think you could share a quick video on color grading? =) Luts used etc?
thanks 😎 it’s sunny london… yeah I’ll defo look at a vid like that in the future but fyi this video had no adjustments made to any clips apart from the d-log m clips which were color corrected
Nice to see your wok flow for the correction.
And beautiful location for sure l- rain just adds to it.
I know auto mode tends to overexpose things. Do you have any recommendations on what EV or Exposure you normally have it as as a general rule?
i usually have it set to -0.3 but have gone down further to -0.7 & -1.0 on some occasions. it will really depend on how white and bright it is
thank you so much.
no problem 😎
Auto mode looks really good and it saves you tons of time on post processing
yes yes yes! 😎
Do you walk normally or are you a ninja? Not much bobbing evident in the footage. Do you think a 4th axis gimbal is a good option with this camera? Cheers. 👍
tbh i literally just walk very slowly and no sudden movements… I guess u could call it ninja cos yeah if ur back ain’t hurting at the end of it u ain’t doing it right 😂 and yeah the more axis the better!
How are you correcting your D Log footage? LUT? CST? Manual?
I use the DJI d-log m conversion lut
How are you finding the conversion lut compared to shooting on auto@@james.loxton ?
You can really see the difference between regular (8 Bit) versus 10 Bit M-Log shooting mode in the Night time London scenes. There's about 50 % more colour depth in the images, and the density profile shows slightly more detail in the blacks. I'm somewhat surprised to see such a demonstrative difference here on CZcams, since the Tube is known for being H.264 in 4:2:0 colour space, and it has the tendancy to crush your blacks and highlights in your image. I would love to download the camera original files and view those on a good 4K calibrated monitor. I suspect those original images straight out of the OSMO Pocket 3 would look really incredible.
10 bit d log m during the day is amazing but it really is mind blowing how great it looks at night, everytime I look at d log m clips I’m just like 🤩🤯
@@james.loxton Yes, this makes sense, because you're getting way more colour gradations than what 8 Bit can capture. You've gone from a grey scale of only 256 gradations of grey in 8 bit to over a million plus in 10 bit ! Colour depth is affected by grey scale frequency. The image must get better. 👍P.S. *Be warned CZcams erodes your colour and image density grade ! The Tube is only H.264 in 8 Bit with 4:2:0 colour interpolation technique ! 👎🏻 This crushes your highlights and blacks and since colour depth follows greyscale image density, this pulls out some of your colour saturation levels as well.*
Normal and auto mode are looking really good.
auto mode just blows my mind each time I use it, so so good!
Would stay in auto.... Would not bother to mess with settings
Can you turn noise reduction completely off?
-2 is the lowest u can go with it
Nice test James! Didn't like that Tesla getting close to you though..😄
glad u liked it! ahhh yes! don’t worry, I got this 😎
What is the operating system and program to which the video is Editing?
I use premiere on a MacBook Pro
@@james.loxton thanks
Perfect
😎
How do you switch colour modes?
swipe from the right when on the main preview screen and make sure ur in ‘pro mode’ and you’ll then see an option for ‘color’ literally just press on that and it will keep switching between each color profile
I cant really see any difference??
Did you use any noise reduction in post?
no noise reduction or anything done to the clips in post (apart from color correcting the d-log m clips)
@@james.loxton Thank you!! And great content!! Out of all the Pocket 3 videos out there yours are definitely the best! 👍🏻
Lovely footage, great to see the info settings. 👍
thanks 😎
Why i don’t have sharpness Option? 😮😮😮 even noise reduction
are u looking in the right place? swipe from the right to the left and u should see image adjustments, click on that and sharpness and noise reduction should be there
@@james.loxton thanks for the reply i found out that my OP3 wan not updated;)
Awesome comparison vid! Thank you so much for showing how auto works so beautifully. For a beginner who know nothing about color grading, auto is the way! Can we adjust the EV in auto as well?
thank u 😎 glad u liked it! honestly don’t stress about messing around with the color profiles if ur not confident with them auto mode does such a great job day and night so you’ll be fine shooting in that… and yes u can adjust the EV in auto. good luck with it!
Just set up my account and went to buy a Pocket 3, only to find they are sold out.
ahhhhhhh! have u tried Amazon instead of DJI direct?
@@james.loxton Good idea. Just trying to get the best deal possible. I will let you know when I get it. How are you set for doing a collabe walk around london at some point?
Auto mode is the best.
it’s mind blowing how good auto mode is 🤯
Auto mode 🎉
🤯🤩
Still impressed with auto mode. Anyone can literally use this camera.
yes yes yes! auto mode is great but it can be a pain with the exposure sometimes
