I make content for a living with my Sony A7S and IPhone 17 Pro Max but when it comes to more “portable” vlog cameras, i am almost always disappointed. I’ve tried everything from Insta360 (way too grainy even in good light) to Sony vlog cameras (not wide enough, clunky lens) + more. I’m tired of spending money and getting excited for the latest “ultra-tiny cinema camera” only to find that it absolutely doesn’t measure up to my standards of quality and performance. There’s so much smoke and mirrors these days with camera reviews that I’m having a hard time trusting these gorgeous videos promoting the camera. It seems like DJI Osmo Pocket 3 got the skin tones pretty correct, minimal color correction is needed, it seems genuinely good in low light and just looks great….. too great?

People who own this camera and also have experience with more high production cameras, how do you feel? I’m only really seeing hobbyist videos and most of the really cinematic camera reviews are sponsored by DJI so i don’t want to get sold a dream!

Does anybody know the most optimal and legal way to get the osmo pocket 4 here in the united states? Whether via a forward shipping company or any better ideas that will be the cheapest legal option?

I never used 4K on my videos (made for Youtube), I always use 1080p and 30 fps.

Apparently I changed something by mistake in the settings, now I need to manually decrease every clip to 67%, while before the clips would always appear at 100%.

Any guesses what I messed up and what is the fix?

Thanks

Have the tracking blind spots and gimbal limits on the Pocket 4 been improved compared to the 3rd, or do they remain the same? Do phone gimbals typically have fewer blind spots?

I was waiting for the OP4 for like a year, but in this sub the hype for the OP4PRO is real. Now I’m not sure and have asked other creators and are in the same boat.

If it’s going to be used for recording selfie.

Let’s assume the rumors of 3X zoom and telephoto lens are true.

Is the PRO going to be worthy for a blog content creator? Or the OP4 should be enough?

Thanks for your responses.

My wife and I love trying different cuisines, and I’ve always been into making videos. I started with gaming videos as a kid but never really posted anything, just recording, editing and exporting to my computer and that’s it. Over the years I’ve just built up gigabytes of footage, basically a full YouTube channel sitting on my hard drive.

Filming and editing feel pretty natural to me now, having 14 years of experience. For the last year I’ve been using the OP3 mostly because it’s simple, quick, and doesn’t draw much attention.

The funny part is that at a few restaurants the staff notice the camera and assume we’re filming for something bigger. Mind you I don’t even use the tripod, I just take it out from my pocket and put it back. Every now and then they offer a complimentary dish or something similar. We’re not asking for it or trying to get anything out of it, it just happens. I think once they see a camera they want everything to look its best.

Which is kind of ironic, because the whole reason I use the OP3 is to stay low key, not to get attention.

The flip screen on my DJI Osmo pocket 3 stopped flipping to horizontal. I tried everything.

Firmware, factory reset, etc. nothings working. It’s 18 months old. I contacted support and they tell there’s a long wait to get it looked at. The good news is it’s still usable. I can still report in a horizontal format, I just have to deal with the smaller screen

Or I won't need to activate it due to the previous person using it?

Is there anyway to force the QR code screen to be displayed if it doesn't do so on startup?

Pocket 3

Would customs intercept it?

Hi Everyone. Thanks to this community I found and orderd The Neewer 2x lens. I made a detialed review on Youtube with sample images and footage. Thanks everyone.

Ps I am quite a photography snob with a small collection of old school manual focus lenses so had extrely low expecations from a lens for a lens, but this is really good for waht it is

As the title suggests, I am a tourists to the US and intending to bring the Osmo Pocket 4 to capture my trip. However am unsure/ concern due to the FCC ban. Can anyone shed light on this?

Would appreciate legitimate advice only. Thanks in advance!

My Osmo pocket 3 battery was drained for a few weeks and I didn’t notice. I put it to charge on Friday morning but it is still sitting on 90%. Has anyone had this issue before? I remember this camera taking not longer that 30 minutes to fully charge

Quick back story i borrowed the OP 3 in February for a solo trip loved it but decided i would wait out to get the OP 4

Now that DJI has released the OP4 I ordered the device on day one but heard that a lot of people are disappointed about it being a little upgrade compared to the pocket 3. With DJI leaking the osmo pocket 4P and it having dual cameras i am really torn between buying one or the other. I think that it was stupidity from them not releasing both at the same time.

Any of you are also waiting for the 4P or are you planning on getting the regular pocket 4 and skipping on the 4P?
