The DJI Pocket 3 is not new but after spending 6 months using it for my work on this channel, has it kept up with the initial hype of it's release? In this video I'll take you across the world to show you my complete thoughts behind the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 in a mixture of vlog and review. I wanted to show off the capabilities of this camera in real time rather than sitting behind a desk and telling you my thoughts. What better way to show how good this camera is for vlogging than to just make a vlog?

I hope you enjoy and I'd love to know your thoughts on the DJI Pocket 3

    This is exactly the type of review I feel is beneficial to the general public. A bunch of real world long term tests in different environments. Not just a spec sheet. I just received mine today and Iโ€™m so excited to begin using it. : )
  • Dude, I just found your videos today and Iโ€™m now on a binge. They are so refreshing to watch! A lot of the channels I used to watch that made content similar to this have now transitioned into more sensational content that only plays to the algorithm. While I respect their business decision as full time YouTubers, it does make me sad when the content I subscribed for is no longer a priority as they change. One creator I requested old style vlogs of replied to my comment saying โ€œthose videos just donโ€™t get viewsโ€. Anywho, i digress, it doesnโ€™t really matter what i think lol- but i just wanted to say, thanks for making content like this thatโ€™s so down to earth. Regardless of what your journey ends up looking like on the platform, i really enjoy sitting back and watching engaging content like this! -storm

    Best review I've seen in a while. Keep it going ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
  • Dude. THIS is the kind of reviews we need! Thank you!! Also, Sophia seems like such a Light! So happy for y'all!
  • @randyschwager84
    I enjoyed seeing Sophiaโ€™s bubbly personality! Great video! You captured some great images! Thanks for taking me along!
  • @wearetrackclub
    Great review, Alex! This is so insightful. Really gorgeous views too ๐Ÿ˜
  • @LucianoStabel
    The image at 10:40 is one of the best images from Torres Del Paine I've ever seen. That's magical, you have really captured the essence of this place.
  • Thank you for your information and great video, exactly what I was looking for. I have the OP 3 now for 2 weeks and try to find my best settings for my use.
  • @meos
    What a great review and a fantastic video! Well structured and you touched on basically everything I was wondering about. Really great! Thank you so much for making this. Subscribed! :)
  • @douglasdollars
    What an excellent and thorough real-life review. Thank you!
  • @2424rocket
    Iโ€™ve been using the pocket three for about four months now and I am amazed that it punches way above its price range. Long as you have enough light the quality of the video is terrific. In low light itโ€™s not terrible but it certainly ainโ€™t the Sony a7s4. But the best thing about the pocket three is the stabilizationโ€ฆ I can go running and itโ€™s smooth as butter.
  • @testdriveph
    We absolutely love the pocket 3. It has solved so many issues with our vlogging and definitely a lot of our professional work. It's just easier and let's you focus on other stuff. Of course it's not perfect and photos it takes isn't very good but for a clogging camera. It's excellent.ty for sharing!
  • @ankitsitar
    Best review of DJI pocket 3 on planet earth. I am a musician and Thinking of purchasing it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  • @JustStephen89
    Great video, great camera and great location. Very impressive ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ
  • @Rezdar1
    Hey Alex! Thank you so much for this, this is exactly what I needed. On the run, real-life use for filming in non controlled environment. Probably the most valuable review I've seen so far! I just had a question about switching between modes, which you kind of answered, but got me super curious: How much do you find yourself changing White Balance, or do you set it to auto? And, how often do you find yourself taking off the ND-lens? I tend to spend most of my time recording in day light and occasionally low-light (head-lamp) environment. But it happens that I go in-doors multiple times a day, like you did on and off the plane/car, maybe inside a tent, e.t.c. That would help me stay prepared and aware during the transitions between these environments when I take it out on first run on the 20th of May! Thank you again! Fingers crossed, that you'll see my comment =)!
  • @montanaylago
    Man!!! That photo with the condors is AMAZING!!!
  • @Robert-Jaudon
    Thank you for the video. Patagonia is on my bucketlist and I am starting to save for it today! Question on this vs that....Would you choose DJI or GoPro for someone just starting out creating vlogs?
  • @MarcioK
    Very good and useful video, Alex. I've got my Pocket 3 recently and still have to get the grips (for example, did not know that I could have fixed shutter speed and variable ISO). Just one question: which was your settings for sharpness and noise reduction? Thanks again, amazing video.
