DJI Osmo Pocket 3 review – can it shoot better than iPhone 15 Pro?
This is DJI Osmo Pocket 3 It is a pocket camera It comes with a mechanical gimbal It can shoot videos in 4K at 60fps Can shoot slow motion videos in 4K at 120fps You can shoot videos not only in horizontal format You can also shoot videos in a vertical format For that you have to keep the screen in a vertical format Now it’s ready to shoot videos in vertical format I am going to compare it with the iPhone 15 Pro As it comes with an amazing camera I am not going to compare it with the
action camera But I am going to tell you what’s the difference between the two But before that, I will tell you that DJI Osmo Pocket 3 has 2 variants I have the base variant It is called Osmo Pocket 3 But there is another option You can go for Creator Combo But that variant is not easily available in India I tried it a lot but I didn’t get it In the Creator Combo version You get a DJI Mic 2 It connects wirelessly with this That is the best option In the Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo You
get some extra accessories You get lenses, a tripod stand And DJI Mic 2 I was trying that but I didn’t get it I thought
is not transparent I tried to connect the mic with this If you go to the settings There is a wireless mic option You can use it to connect MIC 2 But this DJI Mic is not going to work with this You have to use a Type C connector to connect to this Type C port And then you can use the microphone There is another feature Built-in mic audio backup If you have enabled this feature If you have connected an external microphone Then audio is going to be recorded by its external MIC An external microphone is
also going to record audio It can work like a backup Let me tell you how to connect DJI Pocket 3 with DJI Mic Basically, you have to connect the receiver with Type C connector Then you’ll have to connect it to the Type C port of this pocket camera Then you have to turn on the receiver And also turn on the transmitter Then you will not only get an indication on the receiver that the transmitter is transmitting And the receiver is receiving But when you turn on the camera You will also get an indication that the
external microphone is on You will get good audio quality with the external microphone Therefore it’s quite important If you want to buy this go for the Combo Creator Edition If you are not getting it and you want to buy it desperately Then this Osmo Pocket 3 is also a good option It is cheaper than Creator Combo But before its unboxing This might be Go Pro’s action camera This is Insta’s Ace Pro And DJI’s action camera If you compare it with this type of camera then there is a large difference It comes with inbuilt stabilization It
is a tough type But this camera is not that tough The mechanical gimbal actually mechanically stabilizes The stability is good It looks very natural And you can also do gimbal movements Which you normally do with the gimbal You will not be able to do that with this camera But for action shots If you are riding a bike this camera will be very useful It’s a better option compared to this Because the gimbal may not perform well due to the wind And the motor might get a load Both the cameras are good But they are made
for specific use This is also good for vlogging But this is the best option And the next best option is the iPhone 15 Pro I mostly use the iPhone 15 Pro for shots But now I am going to mix it I am going to use both Especially for some specific shots, I am going to use this DJI Osmo Let’s unbox it keep watching… DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Its box pack is a normal variant Not a combo edition You will get a case inside the box Which will protect this pocket 3 And a strap You can
remove this part by pressing this button This is an extension If you look at the pocket 3 There is a Type C port Micro SD card slot Joystick, on-off button This is the display that you can twist I have attached this strap There is a Type C connector present on this extension Type C port Here you get an option to attach a tripod stand This is how it works If you want to attach a tripod stand to this And in general, you get an extension It is the best option for handheld recording This is the
user manual Type C to Type C cable This protection case is also very interesting If you have a wide-angle lens It is magnetic And there is a type of mist lens If you have that lens, you can attach it So for storage, this is a good option To operate the Osmo Pocket 3 Twist the screen And it is on The gimbal will automatically calibrate itself It will stay still at a particular angle If you want to recalibrate it on default Then double-click on the joystick button And it is recalibrated This Osmo Pocket 3 has a
built-in microphone You can record with this This format is wide-angle If you want to shoot in portrait then twist it and continue If you don’t press the continue button For example, I twist it here And if you don’t press the continue button, then it will turn off This is the default method to turn it off Now I turn it on and twist it again And continue Now it is going to record in 3K resolution This format is vertical This is a good option for reels or shots The screen is looking a little dull Because I
have set the setting On D-Log Now I have set it to the normal color I come out of this and change the aspect ratio Now it is going to shoot in 4K at a wide angle If you swipe from above, you get the quick settings In this, the gimbal mode, follow mode, tilt mode This is the FPV mode You can select it according to your requirement If you swipe left to right Then you can play what you have shot If you swipe left to right, you get the pro options There is also a microphone option
You can record using a stereo This is the normal video mode options You can adjust it manually But if you want to shoot in automatic mode Then you can shoot directly You can zoom in and zoom out using this option Tap again Now the joystick is doing the gimbal movement By selecting this option You get the face auto-detect option This automatically detects the face Second, is the dynamic framing option Third is the spin shot This spin shot is very interesting If I tap it Look how the gimbal is moving If you want to shoot spin
shots with this, then you can easily shoot with this You can press it again It can follow anti-clockwise or clockwise movements You can shoot interesting shots with this If you swipe from below, you get the resolution options It can shoot in maximum 4K resolution In case you want to change the shooting modes Look here This is video, photo, panorama And this is low light You can use it in extremely low-light situations You can use it at night You can get amazing results There is also a slow-motion option It can shoot slow-motion videos in a maximum
of 4K at 120 fps Mainly DSLR cameras shoot such footage This is the timelapse option I will keep it on video When you turn it off It will automatically turn off The gimbal comes to this position After this The screen should go inside the case Now you have to put the camera’s gimbal part inside this case And press it slowly Now it is locked The gimbal will be locked in this case If you want to remove it Remove it slowly This gimbal is very delicate Don’t bang too much In case the position of the gimbal
changes, then no issues When you turn it on The gimbal will automatically recalibrate itself Don’t put pressure on the gimbal If you put pressure on the gimbal Its mechanism can be damaged So you have to use pocket 3 carefully It is a delicate camera Use it carefully This is the DJI MIMO application I have connected this camera I can control many things from here I can also control using the pocket camera You get the same options here In case of firmware update You can install it from here This app can be useful for some settings
In case you want to calibrate the gimbal You can do it from here You can also access the Pocket 3 videos from this app You get many options here AI editor Some shot guides You will get an idea of how to shoot such shots with this camera I will show you some sample shots, that I have shot with this camera I will also compare it with the iPhone 15 Pro Let’s compare both Let’s see which one is better I am shooting in 4K at 24 fps I am recording with the iPhone 15 Pro and DJI
Osmo Pocket 3 You will get this kind of stability I am using the default color profile of both devices The stability is definitely better on the Osmo Pocket 3 Compared to the iPhone 15 Pro But there is not much difference Both have done a good job There is a difference in colors Because both devices follow their color science Face tracking is enabled here If you want to shoot selfie shots Then also this is a good option This is a night shot and is quite interesting Osmo Pocket 3 has definitely done a good job In low-light
situations, it has captured more details Which the iPhone 15 Pro failed to do You can see This is another shot You will get a good idea from here The texture on the wall is clearly visible on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Both have good quality But on iPhone you get cinematic mode which blurs the background It blurs the background well You don’t get the same blur in this There are some features like Face tracking I have turned on face-tracking As soon as I move my face the gimbal is following
me You can keep the camera on a tripod stand And if will follow you when you’ll move This is an interesting feature that you don’t get on this It is not important if this is good Or this is good It is important how much knowledge you have By using your knowledge… You can shoot the same type of shots Of course you have to use manual mode I would say iPhone 15 Pro is still the best Because it shoots videos in pro res that too in high quality But this is not less I will use this
for moving shots If you want to buy this Link is given in the description As I said there are two options Pocket 3 or Pocket 3 Creator Combo keep watching…
