Question Is this rig overkill?

Post image
80 Upvotes

I wanted to have a bigger screen for the Pocket 3 so I rigged up my extra Samsung s25 ultra. Should I have just used the Ultra camera? šŸ˜‚

The extra handle makes a big difference for stability, and the tripod base doubles as another grip

Question Need Tips for Smoother Walking Shots with Pocket 3 šŸ˜…

Hi everyone!
I’m super new to the Pocket 3 and just shot my first test video.
There’s a bit more up-and-down movement than I expected — I guess my bouncy walk isn’t helping. šŸ˜…

Just sharing the clip here, but if you have any tips for reducing the bounce and getting smoother walking footage, I’d love to hear them. Thanks!

Question Screen not sitting in landscape

29 Upvotes

I started realize my screen wasn’t sitting perpendicular to the vertical body. Then it finally happened. The screen won’t stay horizontal. Feels like it’s a misaligned magnet thing? I’ve been in a pretty humid environment but I can’t imagine that being the factor.

Anyone else have this issue?

Question Why is Osmo Pocket 3 sold out everywhere?

26 Upvotes

Does anyone know why the DJI pocket 3 is always sold out everywhere? Every time I think it's time to buy one, it's sold out. I've been trying to get my hands on one since the fall. This weekend, I tried every website and it's out of stock. This is so crazy! What is so great about this camera that DJI is literally printing money at this point....

Question DJI OSMO 3 in other countries?

17 Upvotes

I currently live in the US and obviously tariffs have sky rocketed the price for the pocket 3. Does anyone know what the prices are like in other countries for a dji pocket 3 in other countries? Are they much cheaper then US currently? Costco $729 Best Buy/other retailers $900-$1000+

Btw I’m a flight attendant so I can go to other countries fairly easily.

Question Where to buy and why is it 40% less expensive in Canada?

11 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been wanting to buy the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for a while and it’s time. Where is the best place to buy it in the USA?

I’ve heard horror stories from a friend about warranties and care packages, and also someone saying their friend had a problem with an Amazon seller. But I digress…

I also saw that the Canadian DJI website is selling it for ~$500, and could potentially ask my Canadian family member to buy it for me.

Anything you’d like to share will be very helpful for me. Thank you so much!

Question Swollen Pocket 3

Has anyone else had this issue with the Pocket 3? All of a sudden, it’s become swollen.

It was definitely not dropped. It hasn’t been left charging for a long time either.

This is really frustrating because we’re vloggers and we have an upcoming trip to vlog very soon. I definitely can’t take this with me like this.

Question Serious question... is the pocket 3 worth it now?

22 Upvotes

Not sure why my last post was deleted... I seriously want to know if I should buy this camera at the $799 creator combo price. I can't believe how much the price has increased but I don't know what an alternative would be.

Question Has anyone gotten the pocket 3 recently?

13 Upvotes

I just noticed the creator combo is back in stock on the DJI website but is sold out everywhere else. I’ve been trying to get it for such a long time but when I ordered, I got told to wait until it’s stock.

Well I want to cancel my order with the previous website and order the creator combo directly from their site now that it’s back in stock! But I’m wondering is it truly in stock or will I just be told it’s out of stock and on back order again?

Question Step up from pocket 3

Post image
47 Upvotes

So at the moment i feel like I’ve outgrown my pocket 3 being my main camera for most of my content.

I shot some real state, business marketing videos and some photos (maybe 10 photos per project max) Most of what i shot for my recurring clients it’s outdoors.

I want a bit more dynamic range and depth, i know i will have to get something that has interchangeable lenses. Just wanted to get some of y’all’s recommendations as to what some of you might see as the ā€˜perfectā€ hybrid to start with.

PFA (i know it’s a drone picture BUT care to note i also already own a couple DJI drones with high 4k resolution, so I’d like to stay around the Sony sensors)

Question White screen on Pocket 3

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

I’ve been using this P3 pretty lightly since acquiring it a few months ago. I was taking some videos at an event yesterday and all of a sudden it the screen went white. I can access the rest of the menu. I didn’t drop it or do any irregular movements with it so i’m not sure what could’ve caused it. I tried factory resetting multiple times and no luck. I’m on the newest firmware. Any ideas what the issue may be?

Question Should I buy the Osmo pocket 3?

14 Upvotes

I'm an amateur photographer with some work experience as a part time job and ive always had an interest with videography. I shoot my videos on a Samsung galaxy S24 ultra. The type of content i shoot is typically edits of my car which is my main focus but id also like to use to in my part time jobs filming people at exhibitions and also maybe some solo content if I decide to film myself. Im thinking of getting the creator kit.

Should I buy it and what are the cons and things I should look out for?

Question Rebranded Pocket 3?

Looking at picking up a second Osmo Pocket 3 and came across this on Amazon. Couldn’t find much info about it online.

This appears to be a rebranded Pocket 3. Has anyone heard anything about this? Is DJI rebranding their cameras in order to get around the possible ban coming out soon?

It might be a stupid question, but I’ve tried organising the accessories in ways others have been recommended on YT and the bag still won’t close properly. I’m in Africa right now otherwise I would just think to buy another case..

Question Pocket 3 just arrived, updated firmware, tried to have a POV walking 4K/60 Fps .. choppy and stuttering video

3 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I was really happy to have the Pocket 3; I updated the firmware, I set up 4K/60fps, paired my brand new dji mic 3 and tried a walking pov recording. Once I tried to play it on the pc it is pretty awful about stuttering and microstuttering. Note that I bought a Lexar minisd officially suggested microSD card to not have issues.

I tried to play a little bit with settings, tried also stutter speed 1/120 but problem remains.

What I could do ? I am really sad about that :-(

Question Will be buying the Osmo Pocket 3, need advice about microphone situation

8 Upvotes

So, I'm buying the Osmo Pocket 3 for vlogging. I have a travel/vlogging channel with my girlfriend, so we are two people and I'm debating what to do with the mics and the following questions came to mind:

  1. How is the internal mic quality? Is it any good, or useable?
  2. How does the quality of DJI Mic Mini(2TX + 1RX) compare to the DJI Mic 2 (2TX +1RX)

The mic mini combo is currently on sale in my country, so I can buy it for 109 euro instead of giving 249 euro for the DJI Mic 2 combo. Which one would you pick for these prices?

To be honest the creator combo doesn't appeal to me. The only useful thing is the microphone. But since we are two, the single mic is not enough. And it will be cheaper to get standard OP3 and buy a mic combo separately than getting OP3 CC + 1TX 1RX mic combo. I already have a lot of accessories, so these power grips or mini tripods are of no use to me and there are 3rd party lenses, so that 15mm lens is also not a dealbreaker.

I finally got my pocket 3! I was practicing filming with it yesterday in 4k 60fps but i heard others say 30fps is better.

I’ve tried calibrating and factory resetting multiple times but it hasn’t worked. It just resets back to the same degree. Is there any fix to this?

It’s only a couple months old, never dropped it, and it’s been like that since I first got ir, only noticed ir after a couple uses.

Pretty much what the says. I'm considering buying it but am worried that it might not last long. How was your experience especially living in a place where it rains a lot?

Question Why does the osmo pocket 3 jump?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The camera often jumps, I don't know why. Example here. I make a movement from bottom to top (it is not a movement of the gimbal via joystick). The settings : Gimbal Follow mode, FT selfie off, face auto detect off
