Buy it here: https://dreki.tech/pocket-3 || This is part review, part question and answer. I wanted a more convenient gimbal camera to help me film some disc golf videos and the built in wireless mic/transmitter sold it. I'm so done with having to sync audio in post for what is supposed to be fun/quick/easy videos.
This video answers a few questions:
- What is the zoom like on the pocket 3? It's digital zoom, and so few creators focused on it at all beyond a quick mention. I wish there was a traditional physical zoom. I included a ton of DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Zoom Samples
- What is the gimbal stabilization actually like?
- What is it like to use this camera in the studio?
- Why did I buy it again?
- Why do I like to so much??
To be honest, this camera and its form factor is not for everyone. It's absurdly expensive for what is essentially limited to a walk-and-talk camera (considering you can get a Nikon Z30 mirrorless camera which will more versatile for the vast majority of users).
Why did I buy it again? And why do I like it so much?
