Thanks for all the support on this video and info about Mic Options: Update about the Audio Options: 1. You can use other mic's via the USB-C port. ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/gJuLpLOtdcSyfbA.html ) 2. Apparently only the DJI Mic 2 works natively with the camera and not the DJI Mic 1. I think I'll wait for the DJI Mic 2 to be released and Return my DJI Mic 1.

Return the camera and pick up a new Creator kit ;)

One thing that most reviews don't talk about is that this can be used as an excellent web cam/live stream camera - just plug it in, no software, drivers, or fiddly settings etc needed. And the tracking is awesome, you can walk around your room/studio and it looks as though you have a pro-camera operator following you.

Thanks for including these links to download! I will ask some questions and finish with a tip for users. Regarding the videos, they are 10-bit 4:2:0, not 4:2:2, right? I don't suppose this little thing does 4:2:2. As for the bitrate, it appears to be a bit more than 80 Mbps. The advertised 130 bitrate is for higher frame rates, like 60 fps? Here's my most important question: These video samples appear to be BT.709. Is this the color profile the M-Log records with? If yes, is recording in HLG BT.2020? It's supposed to be a wider color gamut and maybe it gives more room for post-production and even results in better sky. The sky in low light appears to be with no visible banding which is a plus for this camera. The sky both in the low light and the auto-setting videos appears to be the same as an 8-bit Sony camera, with no visible noise but a kind of compression with something "boiling" that needs to be improved with Neat for a perfect result. I am comparing this to an APS-C Sony camera and does not look worse, which is a plus for the small DJI. Maybe if it were 4:2:2, it could be better. Don't get me wrong, I am buying this camera, for the convenience it offers. I already ordered maybe the only variable ND filters I could find, (not fixed ones) and will wait for the camera. Finally, here's a small tip about the photos. It requires going the extra mile, but it might help some. Open the dng in Photoshop and select Enhance. This will create a new 7680x4320 dng, still 16:9. If you now crop this to 3:2 you have a new 6840x4320 pic to work with, which looks decent. Now you can scale down to anything you want. If you want to play it safe, a 4200x2800 looks convincing, as it "hides" some overblown imperfections and is still larger than the original, resulting in almost 12 Megapixels. Again, thanks for providing these samples to test!

I agree with most of what you said in the video. The quality for the size and price is shocking. You can use external mics plugged in through the USBC port but I personally just record externally (Instamic) and sync in post. I do want the DJI Mic II though since I also got the same combo as you. My hope now is that they come out with a pro version using the m43 sensor from the Mavic 3 drones and have some dials for changing settings more quickly.

Great video ... Thanks for this. FYI from what Ive seen. When people say the DJI 1 mic works. They mean you have to plug in the receiver ( usb) into the USB on the Pocket 3. ( so you could also use a Rode mic etc also ) But sad you couldn't get the combo as the mic 2 has the ability to "sync" which basically means it can record to the pocket AND keep a version directly on the mic 2 as a backup. All the best !

Great video but just a bit of advice, put your mic off angle from the direction you're facing. When you have it directly in front of your face, every P or B sound gets picked up WAY more. A pop filter works well for that too. I was watching on my TV and soundbar and you had my room shaking lol

hi, nice video. 1. you aren't stuck with proprietary mics if you take advantage of the USB-C port. and or with a dongle if you're still using 3.5 connectors. I just got my pocket 3 so I'm still experimenting. One thing I'd like to mention from your video i noticed that sometimes it's choppy when panning left and right.... and it seems to happen to me too after editing and yet at other times it's absolutely buttery smooth. what do you think is the cause so i can work around this?

@apexvenomm

Buddy, gimble has same function as osmo pocket 3 but Gimble price is way more cheaper than pocket 3.

The camera has a shallow depth of field, not greater. This is due to the large sensor and wide lens. A camera with greater depth of field would have both close-in and distant object in focus at the same time. Shallow depth of field results in distant objects becoming blurred. Also, I disagree with you the camera and still photography. While a professional photographer might find the photos lacking because of the small number of pixels and hence less detail. This is ideal for taking still photos at night especially having the camera stabilized and eliminating the need for a tripod. Also, the camera takes both 1X1 and 16X9 still images as well as 3X3 and 180-degree panoramas. Bottom line: no camera is a jack-of-all trades. But this camera offers a lot in a small, portable package.

@MattyDCCollins

6 ай бұрын

well said Allen! and yeah my mistake I think I should have used bokeh or background blur instead of depth of field correct? It's my understanding that the larger the camera sensor the better the background blur/separation you can achieve

@allenmyers8568

6 ай бұрын

@@MattyDCCollins Not necessarily. It depends on the mm size of the lens as well. In digital cameras to get everything near and far in focus at the same time, the image put on the sensor has to be very small. The larger that image, the shallower the depth of field. Making the image smaller can be achieved by "stopping down" the f-stop (actually this is a higher number, so it might seem to be an oxymoron) to create a smaller point of light on the sensor. However, with the Pocket 3, there is no control over f-stop and it is a fixed f 2.0 with a wide lens. Hence the shallow depth of field and bokeh. The f 2.0 is probably a compromise by DJI between having so much bokeh that your nose is in focus and your ears aren't. If you want to see how valuable understanding depth-of-field can be, do a Google search of depth of field scale. Growing up with film cameras that had these on them, I found it very useful in using the f-stop to determine what would and what would not be in focus.
