DJI Osmo Pocket 3, Vlogging Cameras with 1'' CMOS & 4K/120fps Vlog Camera, 3-Axis Stabilization, Fast Focusing, Face/Object Tracking, Digital Vlogging Camera for YouTube

This has replaced my DSLR and mirrorless cameras when taking quick trips and going to events. So much easier to pack minimal and still get stunning videos. This awesome camera and gear packs away in a small case to carry everything I need like ND filters, extra battery, DJI mini microphones and a monopod. The gimbal and image sensor will help you to create amazing videos. Dlog-M allows you to color grade in post production and take it to the next level although the 10-bit normal filming gives you amazing videos without doing extra work. It really has become my go to video camera.

I've had other mini-gimbal units and have to say the DJI just feels beefier and better. It focuses faster and just does everything else better. But - you HAVE to register it before the 5th use. If you don't, you have a paperweight until you do register it. So if you go on vacation with your new toy and have no internet, you are in trouble. This is my main complaint with every new DJI device. The app is not standards compliant and to get it to run is a bit tricky. If you already have it installed - I did - but it won't run - mine would not - you have to uninstall and download the APK from DJI using a QR code. You also have to change your security settings to allow the app to install. If you're into privacy or security, you will NOT like anything about the camera. After I went through all that on my Moto Edge 2023 the app ran fine. The first thing it did was download a firmware update. It works well and has very little lag. It uses an ad-hoc wifi network to connect to the phone, and it's all done with answering questions (allow to connect? etc.) Other stuff worth mentioning: The camera will power on and off when the screen is rotated. It's a battery hog. I went through 11% of the battery just setting it up and installing firmware. There's magnetic storage in the case for filters and a slide-in spot to keep their external mic. The "manual" reads like Ikea instructions and is all icons and arrows, and pretty useless. The included mount that snaps on the bottom is needed for using with a selfie stick or tripod, as there's no mounting threads on the gimbal - the threaded opening (1/4-20) is on the snap-on base. This also adds about 1 1/2" to the length. It's a combination of rubber, plastic and aluminum and is surprisingly heavy. The included case is handy, but does not cover the camera completely, and leaves the bottom and back totally exposed. It's not something I would just toss in a backpack or camera bag. You'll need to put it in a pouch or another case. Video quality is excellent, audio surprisingly good. The gimbal is FAST and there's a lot of features, from hyperlapse and timelapse, to 3x3 and 180 degree panoramic photos, although no 360 photos. Last night I shot some video at a 1920's themed dance. Very dark room, loud music with some heavy bass. I was amazed at the quality of the video and the clarity of the audio.

Pocket 3 is just in a class of it's own. This camera is a beast and is everything I hoped the 3 would be. It's really versatile and is handy for so many situations. Having a gimbal camera this small is just so handy. It's relatively low key and doesn't draw too much attention. While walking around It's easy to set and forget while recording thanks to the gimbal. The rotating screen is a much needed upgrade from the postage stamp size screen on the previous pockets. The screen also makes turning the pocket on and off super easy. If you're not in a situation that requires an action cam this is generally the best choice for an ultra portable handheld camera. Video quality is incredible, 4k 60 10bit is awesome, and it even does 120fps slow mo. The 1inch sensor does really well in low light and is even able to get some natural shallow depth of field, something an action cam won't ever give you. This is kinda the opposite of an action cam; it's got a really nice field of view that is a lot narrower than an action cam and has no fish eye at all, it's also really fragile and not waterproof. It's strengths are what tend to be an action cams weakness and vice versa. This thing is amazing for so many use cases. I don't vlog but it sure would be good at that, the camera can turn around and face you at the click of a button and will even get a little bit of boca behind you. It's great for travel, small and lightweight, you can get great video exploring and walking around and don't even have to pay much attention where you point it. The pocket 3 also works really well mounted on top of a mirrorless/DSLR, I used it to capture roving video while I focused on photography, But you could even use this on a video camera as an all in one "B Camera". This thing is just all around awesome and is an excellent addition to any video kit, beginner or pro.

Wow, I can’t believe how good this tiny camera is! The quality is amazing, super clear videos, smooth movement, and it focuses so fast. I use it for my vlogs and honestly, it makes everything look like I used a big professional camera. It’s small, easy to carry, and perfect for anyone who loves recording on the go. Totally worth it!

This is the best purchase of 2025 for me. a couple of month ago I came across someone using the Osmo Pocket 3 a couple of month ago. I between this and the Xtra Muse and I decided to buy the Pocket 3 and I have no regrets. It feels sturdy and durable when holding the equipment. The in mic works perfectly well, but I highly suggest that you order the DJI Mic 2 for better sound. The image quality of the camera is really good. For my videography business, this is a good camera to shoot b-roll and interview. There is an app (DJI Mimo) that you'll have to download to register the Osmo Pocket 3, but after you down pop in your microsd card and you can start shooting with no problem.

I ordered this camera to replace my DJI Osmo Pocket 2, which I've liked, but - oh my! - the Pocket 3 has SO many FAR better features for travel vlogging! Unfortunately, the Pocket 3 also stops working (after the 5th time you turn it on), if you don't "activate" it via an app on your phone. Well, I had mixed feelings about that, but - for such a great camera - I decided to take a chance on privacy issues, and activate the app anyway. BUT THEN... The app isn't on Google Play for a reason: When I researched the issue, it comes down to GDPR standards. Apparently, the DJI Mimo app - used to activate the camera - doesn't meet those standards. So, I could download the app to my Motorola phone, but the app wouldn't install. It was blocked by Motorola for safety and privacy reasons (per the pop-up window). Of course, the app wouldn't even download to my husband's Google Pixel phone. I'm stunned that a $500+ camera can't be used, fresh out of the box, without jumping through more hoops... some requiring me to buy another phone. But more than that, I'm terribly disappointed. I'd waited weeks to receive this camera. And, at first glance, this camera looks great, and has SO many wonderful features, I was delighted that I'd purchased it... until I realized I can't use it at all. This isn't a new issue. In forums, I see that DJI has known about this since 2023. I'm not sure why they won't comply with GDPR standards to solve this problem. Until they do, I'm sad and disappointed, and cannot recommend the camera at all. This might have been a five-star review. The camera looks great, and - until it quit working - everything about it impressed me. Instead, I can only give it one-star. I hope this is a warning to others to check if their phones accept (and will install) the DJI Mimo app, before buying this camera.

I love this camera, the quality is amazing !! I also love how small and compact it is.

Been great. Easy to use. Integrates with wireless dji mic well. Overall good quality cam, very stabil. Not great in low light, and even at 60fps movement can be blurry. The zoom / direction control is screwy on screen and in settings. Too much touch control on a tony screen. Better have little fingers. Good battery life. Overall, recommend.....but at the price we paid, not current tariff pricing!
