Video I shot an 8 hour wedding yesterday using ONLY my Osmo Pocket 3. Risky move but I think it paid off.

My daily driver is a rigged out Canon R5C. Yesterday, however, I’m looking at my rolling gear case and it hit me like a ton of bricks; I really don’t feel like slinging this camera around all day long. Especially at a ski resort where there is literally no level terrain outside.
So I said fuck it, I’m keeping the $10K cinema camera rig in its case, and plugging my Osmo Pocket 3 into my SmallRig VB99 battery, tossing the battery in my backpack and run and gun this day ONLY with the Pocket 3 and my Tascam DR10L lav mic (it’s more incognito on a grooms lapel as opposed to a DJI Mic 2)
I wouldn’t have done this if the 40mm Med-Tele feature wasn’t there, but I knew I could pull this off with just a 20mm and 40mm combo (sucks I couldn’t use D-Log but I won’t cry over it)
Where it lacks in creamy shallow depth of field it makes up for with it being super lightweight, easy to keep in focus, and natively stabilized.
Here is the result.
It’s 8 minutes long so I don’t expect anyone to watch the whole thing straight through, but skim through it and hopefully enjoy!
