Here’s a couple of things that I got wrong, I am sure there’s more! The Creator’s combo doesn’t come with the pro mist filter. The Pocket 2 add on isn’t a battery but it’s called a “do it all handle” to add connectivity with the wireless mic and WiFi to the Mimo app. Sharpness and noise reduction were added via firmware in to the Mini 3 Pro. This was the first drone/ camera from DJI to get this feature! The Air 3 was the first new drone to have this on release, followed by the Mini 4 Pro.

So do I have to buy another battery? My creator combo arrives tomorrow; I’m not sure if I need to order an Osmo pocket 3 battery accessory for it before I take my sailboat to Catalina Island off of the Southern California coast with my wife soon. Once there we will meet up with two guests who will be joining us there. I’m looking forward to taking some great footage of all of the fun that will be happening when we all meet up with other folks from our yacht club. There will be some fun events to take videos of, such as “dinghy” rides in Avalon Harbor, cocktails aboard at Five O’clock, and dinner ashore later on Saturday night. Here is to hoping I will learn and become familiar enough with this amazing camera to take some great footage to share with all of our friends!

Had this camera from launch, and I still learned something new from Philip's review, as excellent as always. A little heart-wrenching to see how the Skiathos cats have to fend for themselves, but how lovely to see Archie find a forever home. The effort and expense in getting Archie to Richmond is a testament to what a decent human being you are. Well done, sir.

Easily the best DJI Cat video I have ever seen. Watched and loved every second of it.

Nothing beats your long-term reviews!

What a kind, caring man. ❤️

Once again a well delivered long review. Looks like a lot of work to make these, so love that you take the time to make them!

Welcome to the family, Archie

Thanks for the review Philip. I must say I really enjoy how you make a story out of it and even more that you help the strays. You are a good dude.

Thanks Phil. What a camera! Shame about the low light limitations but on a tiny sensor this is still a great achievement. Other influencers are pointing out that DJI are listening to what people want far more than the legacy camera makers. I want to see Sony give us features like this in their flagship Android phones as well as building a standalone competing camera. This camera is less than $500 with a lens and does compete very well against $2000 + camera bodies.

Oh it’s pretty decent in low light. I was showing some extreme examples in a very dark place. Normal out and about low light it works really well with!

The amount of love, time, money, and energy, you put into your cats is so damn heartwarming. Thanks for a great video

i really enjoied this review, i love my OP3 , i got my Creators kit on sale from amazon in January was (£599) and I've had it with me everyday since having it, I'm and engineer and do a lot of surveying so i grabbed a case with a 1/4 inch mount and a super clamp and its my Motionlapse camera for when I'm on top of high buildings doing readings and investigation work all the best to Archie!

You've definitely upped my expectations of what's become possible with this camera with the beautiful shots you were able to get out of it Philip! Thank you

Awesome, thank you. Ordered a pocket 3 two days ago and your long review dropped, such perfect timing! :D

The only thing that excites me more than a Denis Villeneuve film is a Philip Bloom camera review. I absolutely love the Osmo Pocket 3 - I’ve owned them all and this is the first one I actively find myself carrying on a day to day basis. When accompanied with the A7siii it’s a powerful combo for narrative / b-roll shots. This epic review is bloody well timed as I’m currently on a two week cycle trying to work out how to film it (right now the Ace Pro on the handle bars) and I’m toying with clamping the Osmo Pocket on to the bike instead tomorrow. Thanks as always for an incredible review man, it’s given me plenty to think about for tomorrow!

Sometimes I forget Chris is a camera nerd despite all his cinematography, and then he pops up like this. How have you been carrying it around? What has been your usual use case? I'm tempted by it partially because it's like having an A7SIII in your pocket and the adage of "the best camera is one you'll use", but bunging it in a jacket pocket with just that hard cover on I'm worried how long that gimbal would stand up. But if it means always carrying it in a (albeit small) camera bag or backpack then that's a barrier to impromptu filming/might as well use a phone & carry a gimbal. Even though weirdly I think it's way less imposing using it to film people/places/yourself than a regular mobile phone let alone a mirrorless. It's cute and inconspicuous from my impressions.

The most informative, detailed and beautiful work as ever, Mr. Bloom!

Splendid review - definitely appreciate these so much more than the short term/first impression type reviews at launch. Also you ribbing your Mum was precious 😄

Waited so long for this review. Great as always😍thanks for doing these great long term reviews. I took the camera to my recent New York trip besides my A7SIII. And was impressed by the image quality. I filmed a lot more because of it small size I was able to bring it nearly everywhere. As a cat person myself I‘m looking forward for Archie’s story😻

such a wholesome review accompanied by your warm narration and cute archie, ur mum also looks elegant!

what a great way to end easter weekend, listening to the soothing voice of @Philip Bloom...

An adorable story about Archie! I love how you make the review interesting with gorgeous storytelling and images of your wonderfully delightful cats. I probably will not buy the camera personally (or I might!) but just having the opportunity to see your cats it is worth watching the whole 35 minute review. Great job as always!

Excellent video great story telling with an interesting take on your impressions. Love this little camera. Easy to carry around and combines with the pocket 1 is my go to travel camera’s. Well done!

this video was soooo detailed. You really took your time filming and editing this video and it shows

Great video, Philip!! I'm glad you were able to get Archie safely back to England. Thanks for your review of the Pocket 3, very thorough and detailed

Your mom is super cool. Love Archie. Thanks for yet another lovely video and happy Easter🐰🥚😻

We are working on a slow vacation on a canal in France we hope to take in September. I'm still looking at the Pocket 3 and your video was very helpful. However, getting to meet Archie was a great bonus! While demonstrating the internal microphone, which sounds pretty good, I kept waiting for your mother to tell you to bugger off!

Yes! Archie made it, I'm so happy! I too have the Pocket 3/Action 4 combo (using bigger cameras while traveling by boat is limiting so their 10bit dlog is a welcome downsize, while their log is really easy to correct and grade) but I'm embarrassed to say it's while watching your great long-form, long-term reviews that i realise how little I'm utilising all their features. Thanks for another great episode. I hope Archie is settling in nicely 😻

You take it seriously as a highly experienced professional cameraman. Great!

Fantastic review. The Pocket series has been exciting from the start, but since the first we've been dreaming of the 1" sensor version, and I believe it lives up to the hype. Haven't been this excited about a camera in years. Cheers!

Stunning imagery, adorable cats and overall best review I've seen of the Pocket 3 - as expected~ 👍Also, that beauty mode was a thing of utter brilliance and I hereby demand for it to be used in other cameras reviews' talking segments! 😁I need more Philip "Miss UK" Bloom in my life.

Watching a review by Philip Bloom feels more like watching a movie than it does a KZread Video. Some scenes go on for a little too long at times but there is no denying the overall quality of his production.

Thanks Philip. Great review, touched all the points we are looking for in our next purchase.

long the idea of long term reviews! What a wonderful breathe of fresh air to get a review from someone who has used more than a couple days.

Really, really enjoyed this video mate. The excellent long term review of the Pocket 3 was an added bonus. New subscriber ✌🏻

Best review for the pocket 3 I've watched so far! Thanks for being a sweetheart to the animals, esp the cattos

Perfect review. I often wonder… “how can I tell a good story while doing a Tech review at the same time?” You’ve just given me an excellent example. Thank you friend.

Nice one Phil, just seeing you're footage of the old X3 Osmo, I'm once again reminded of how nice that was to use in the hand and how easy it was to tell which way the camera was facing. Unlike the op3, though, like you, I love mine.

I Love cats, and I Love My Pocket 3. I also own the original OSMO Pocket. Thanks for doing this review of my now favorite camera Philip. Version 3 is clearly a big step forward in overall quality and features and performance over the first two iterations. I'm not entirely impressed with the OP3 lens. I think it shows noticeable barrel distortion even without using the extra wide angle lens. You don't notice it on landscapes, but you do on certain urban landscapes with perpendicular straight lines. Buildings tend to elongate and lean inward slightly toward the outer edges of the frame. Even with this slight imperfection, the OSMO Pocket 3 is well worth the money. I use my OSMO Pocket cameras mostly for time-lapse work at present, since the easy setup and remote viewing on my iPad Pro provide excellent results. Sit down interviews are a breeze with the OP3.

Thanks for the update, it definitely adds a lot more to the early reviews and confirms how big a leap the Pocket 3 is. Cameras like the ZV-1F are definitely in trouble. BTW with regards to the camera head not being able to stow itself with a larger magnetic filter attached, the head eventually turns to face the same direction as the screen, which then goes back into the hard-shell carrying case which in turn protects the filter. There's enough space for the 0.75x filter so any similar ones should fit too. That doesn't help people who carry the camera on its own without the case, but personally I always keep it in the case so it works for me. At this point in time a mechanical gimbal is far better for non-action use, especially in low light and lower shutter speeds. I wonder if EIS can match or surpass a gimbal in those scenarios in the future. There's one issue I have with all your reviews though; I could buy the same camera and lenses but the resulting story never looks and flows as well as one of your camera reviews! You really do a fantastic job picking the right subjects, framing, grading, music to suit everything. It just goes to show skill is more important than equipment - even a Barbie camera can be used to tell a story!

Archie won the lottery! Really enjoy your reviews, even though I’m not much of a video shooter.

Archie (and the other cats), are very lucky to have the fosterdad which they have. Lovely video, and the info about the camera is a nice bonus (although a lot of work went into making it)

Finally. The review I've been looking for.

Really informative and helpful…. And love your cats and sweet Archie.

Excellent and inspiring review as usual. I think easily the best part of the Pocket 3 is that it's small and easy to have with you. I remember watching a Digital Rev video (back when they were a thing) and they made you shoot a video with a barbie doll and you said something like "the best camera is the one you have with you." The Pocket 3, some 10 years later, is the camera that is easy to have with you... and thankfully much better quality than a barbie doll camera. 😂

I love cats. I love cinematography. I love this channel.

Holy batman! f2.0! on a one inch sensor! WOW. My rx10 mark 2 had that AMAZING f2.8 constant lens and the shallow DOF and low light you can get is outstanding on that camera still. this is the first I have seen a one inch camera actually be used by having a good lens on the front. That would be an outstanding companion to any camera, truly awesome.

@philipbloom

It’s f/2 for a one inch though. That’s like F8 on a full frame for depth of field purposes. It’s still great though for the size!

Always enjoy your videos. I love my OP3 for making videos of my toddler son and the real estate video, b roll shots. It works nicely and creatively with an Insta360 stick or other extension stick. I have one 10 foot and one 4 foot. You can create some faux drone shots in places where the drone is too much or frowned upon. Cheers.

Very educational video, waiting for my DJI pocket arriving Thursday 🤔

Was looking forward to your take on this seemingly fun camera with the 1-incher.

Always so enjoyable seeing the Catio space...

A very thoughtful and honest review. Thanks so much for that, and for saving Archie!

Perfect timing! I'm hovering on the verge of ordering one!

Watched from start to end! Nice to see little Archie made it home safely 😊I would love to see DJI make a new all in one gimbal camera with a m43 sensor, I think they've come a long way since their original Osmo gimbal cameras. I keep thinking about getting this pocket 3 but the price tag puts me off.

4:11 on how to look like a mega dork to the neighbors at the local park, thank you for your sacrifice for us all. I really like your Development Rundown on stabilized microcams, Pocket 3 is a REVOLUTION, come to live via the steady and constant evolution of the design, capabilities and form factor to get to what we have now which also supports 2 wireless mic’s, this camera is amazing, it’s 10bit 4k from 1” sensor delivers a far superior image to the RX0II and the ZV1 that i was happy to sell those and just have this. A revolutionary motion picture & sound capture system which fits in the pocket.

I didn’t know it was a 1” sensor of the stacked sort, no one else pointed this out. The low light performance on foot is exceptional, like a full frame camera on a gimbal, but 1/10 the size/weight.

Thought I didn't need the Action 4 but after watching this I've decided that I do, so I just ordered one. Great review as always - might pick up the pocket too but for now the Action is what I need.

Cats and cameras! Great video and love all the cats too! I've a pocket 3 an find the same issues you did, but overall its great. One addition i'd really like is a way to slow the AF speed down so I can focus rack too.

One tip I don’t have time to include is to use warp stabilise or similar with no motion to remote those big focus breathing pulses like you see when I hold up the original pocket to the camera. I chose to leave that pulsing in here so it was more representative of it.

Thanks Philip. Great review like usual.

Other than worry over the somewhat vulnerable gimbal, I am all in on getting one. I still love my Ace Pro for portable goodness. Can't have enough kit though??

The best part of the video for me was Philip re-homing Archie. I have an Action 4, but it was interesting to see this review, so thanks, and next time I see you around, The White Cross will buy you a pint. Cheers Russ

Thank you for this great review. I use my pocket 3 alongside my big Sony video cameras. The 5:4 option added by DJI would be really great? But the most useful feature of this camera, in my opinion, is that it is so small that the people you are filming are unaware of it (of course you must have permission to film them).

Great video on pocket 3 sir.... Salute to your lovely content ...❤💐🤚
