DJI Osmo Pocket 3 + DJI Mic 2

When I make holiday videos, I like to be as inconspicuous as possible with my vlogging camera. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is therefore an ideal travel companion with its compact size. I don't attract any attention from passers-by when I film with this camera. It fits in my jacket pocket, making it easy to take with me. The built-in gimbal stabilizes my images. I don't worry about whether I'm holding it stably, my images almost always look smooth. I do think it is a shame that the camera is not waterproof. When I go skiing with this camera, I have to be careful that it does not fall into the snow. Filming for social media I find the camera especially useful for videos for my social media channels. When I film a YouTube video, I usually also make a vertical video for Instagram Reels and TikTok. I turn the screen a quarter turn and the camera immediately films vertically. He crops the image a bit, so I can film in a maximum of 3K resolution. This quality is slightly lower than horizontal videos, but I think it is sharp enough for social media. I film horizontal videos in 4K resolution, so I see a lot of detail in my recordings. I am testing the Creator Combo, which comes with a microphone, battery handle, tripod and wide-angle lens. The microphone provides extra clear sound. Thanks to the battery handle, I can film with the camera for even longer, which is especially nice outside the home. I am less likely to leave my battery empty. Image quality In dark conditions I notice that the camera has a large 1-inch image sensor. My videos still look sharp and clear. This way I also take beautiful shots of the atmosphere in the city in the evening. For additional editing options, I film in the D-log M file profile. This allows me to edit the colors even more accurately afterwards. Without post-processing, these images are somewhat flatter. I therefore use this profile for extensive YouTube videos, but I prefer to film short social media content in the standard color profile. The colors look very vibrant and realistic, so I place them without post-processing. Recording modes My favorite feature of this camera is the tracking mode. The camera automatically keeps my face in the center of the frame. If I disappear from view, the gimbal rotates with me. This means I always remain visible to the camera. For more creative images I use the new Spin Shots function. I point the camera at a subject and it automatically rotates 90 or 180 degrees. This adds a special effect to my videos.

Super image quality, great depth of field in both video and photo mode. Also little to no noise in the dark.

Great tracking and stability. Only the grip is a little less. I soon started having problems with my hand, also because it is square. The tip is to buy a really good SD card such as Samsung Pro Plus. And for filming you can purchase an ND filter set from Freewell (highly recommended)
