I have the Pocket 3 and of course I love watching reviews - post purchase. Probably to see if I made as good a choice as I think I did. Your review is head and shoulders above any of the other 50 that I’ve watched. The beauty of the footage, the filmmakers eye and your thoughtful opinions have made it a joy to watch. DJI would be smart to hire you for some of their marketing. Thank you!!
I can hardly add anything meaningful to all the good things that previous speakers have already said, how they showered you with praise. Everything is right, is correct. Finally someone who puts the camera into the personal private camera market that we all have at home. It creates truly expressive images and shows how much more the Pocket 3 is than just a vlogger camera. And besides, you're almost a philosopher. Thank you for this review. A real pleasure to watch. I almost forgot what it was about. It was just beautiful. I never did this with a review, but I looked the video 2 times after each other.
Really that was a fantastic experience to watch your review. I have never been so thoroughly engrossed in a review. Not only did you showcase the product in a unique way but also made it a sentimental reminder of how much things have changed and what we stand to lose in the future. The music was just beautiful. Well done!
After watching the entire video. I'm 67 years old. I'm amazed what this Pocket 3 can do. It will spend more time filming, than the GoPro HERO 8. Again, thank you young man. New subscriber.
Dude, you are a true videography poet. Very talented and terribly beautiful work. Bravo! THE BEST review I've ever seen of this device, and I'm watching a lot, just studying reviews before purchasing. Thank you so much for the wonderful review, it is not only informative, but also fantastically aesthetic!
I rarely comment on a video, but this review just burried all the other. You are a PIECE OF ART. I'm just blown away by everything in this video. You deserve to be on TOP of everything that RU-vid means and i'm sure you'll get there soon. Keep up the perfect work
What an epic video! You are not only an excellent filmmaker and reviewer, but also a great musician and producer! I bet that you, and maybe your wife, are behind the Dust and Starlight project, right? The intro song is absolutely amazing and in the video you really your true passion for the Pocket 3, which I also share! I already love my Pocket 3. Your video immediately tempts every viewer to buy this camera, and rightly so. I hope that one day DJI thanks you for this one! Thank you and keep up the great work. Cheers from Germany
I had to go look up Dust and Starlight. I'm with the others as to the two of you being behind it. The image in Heartbeat is much like the going away video here. Great song, btw.
Okay I take it back, not only are there amazing shots of snow falling, but your entire intro is absolutely mesmerizing:.from each shot, transition, the editing, the shot choices, the music my god seriously seriously top notch and a gold standard. Kudos to you mate! Absolutely outstanding. I got shivers halfway through... I probably want to edit clip out a few seconds or so maybe 10 to 20 seconds of it but it's great work and wow you're somewhere in Canada as well, lucky us!
I am glad I landed on this video. The overall quality of this video is outstanding. You voice is another big factor for me that made me hit on that subscribe button! Someone is not finally excited to shout on the camera. More tutorials on the OP3 please and thank you! Cheers from Sydney!
Wow! Best review ever! The Pocket 3 snuck up on me--I already purchased a Pixel 8 Pro in October, which is supposed to have "Night Sight Video" coming in December. But, it still doesn't have a gimbal. I didn't want to buy the Pocket 3, but it seemed to be my dream camera--simplifying what my larger APS-C camera and gimbal could do and doing what my GoPro and Mobile could not do in lowlight. So, I now have it and will be comparing and possibly selling at least my Gimbal and most likely my APS-C ultra wide vlogging lens.
This thing is absolutely amazing. I've done my videos on my RU-vid channel for years on my Pocket 2, but now I use the Pocket 3 (you can see my latest 5 or so videos were Pocket 3) and it's a noticeable image quality difference. It's a whole new game.
This device popped up on my bestbuy app when i was randomly window shopping black friday items 2days ago, the 4K120 feature instantly caught my attention cos i have been looking (for a very long time) for a more portable way to shoot slow-mo videos at 4K without the need of carrying around a bulky digital camera to achieve it. I am heavily considering buying the creator combo bundle.. but first i needed to know specifically how long the battery lasts when shooting at 4k60, in the first case: without the battery handle and then with the battery handle (Dji never mentioned anything accurate about this on their page)., before i make my buying decision. I have never used any of the pocket or action cams in Dji's line, i' mostly own their drones and gimbals. I came to youtube in hopes of finding a reviewer that will actually test the battery life. I Saw your channel on the result list, i clicked, normally i skim thru chapters to get to what i am looking for :p but i just gotto say i was instantly sold by your intro video. As a content creator myself with an undying love for UHD content and contextual Slo-Mo shots,....this intro video right here is absolutely gorgeous (Will the pocket 3 finally be my dream come true???). I love the cinematography, the grading & the bgm! This is my first time visiting your channel and you sir just earned a new subscriber. I came here for the battery, stayed for the intro Vid! Keep up the good work. Now im gonna unpause and watch the rest of the video! haha. PS: the absolute quality of your review just blows every other one ive watched on youtube so far, out of the water.
What can I say that hasn’t already been said? I agree with all the superlatives! This review is just soo good! A review of a camera turned into a piece of art itself. Just wow!
I bought a pocket 3 as soon as it released. I have 2 pockets, and 2 pocket 2s. My biggest gripe is the non replaceable battery. That's why i always bought 2, so when one died i could pickup the next one. It's all i use for my youtube videos.
This is literally my first time ever to comment on a video. but bro, you deserve the respect. This is not just a review of the product, this is an example for its not the content or the story, its how you see your story and execute it. brilliantly done man, you're an artist i must say!
This is the best review video on the Pocket 3 I've seen, and I've watched about 20. Gorgeous footage and especially thorough low-light tests. Well done!
Best review I have seen for a long time, not because of the product itself but because of your presentation and story telling. You should be very proud of this video.
Excellent review of this great camera! That low light performance is amazing & also such clear appropriately exposed videos in difficult situations was good to see.
When a review is an immersive cinematic experience. Thank you, Roo. 24-years in news gathering and entertainment industry and this camera is singularly special imo. As has been mentioned: Once DJI manages even a modest optical zoom I'll be in video-geek nirvana.
From comments made by the DJI engineers in their forum, there's no prospect of a telephoto add-on, and we'll have to wait some years for the Pocket 4, I suspect. I'm not sure that even their pro gimbal camera has optical zoom. So...
Best review of the pocket 3 I've ever seen - great video, great captures, really really good! Thank you so much. I've been filming over 1 year with the pocket 2 and it's now time to switch to the pocket 3. I'm really excited til I get it. Kind regards
Great video! Recently came back from vegas doing some content with some brands we work with and a few creators had these, I brought out my R5c, gopros and used my Pixel 8 Pro and I could have cut out virtual all those with this one camera, trying to switch between front facing and forward facing on the fly with cell phone and gopro8 is difficult, with this you can do it easily on the fly and the added wireless mic is clutch. Ordered one immediately when I got home for our next trip in Feb! Image quality, flexibility and 10bit along with the other features put it in a league of its own! Wonderful review!
Wow... This is by far the best artistic film-like review of the Pocket 3. I do not leave comments often but I felt I really need to say something about this outstanding video you made! I have this camera and it surprised me a lot in low light. I discovered is even better with less noise than ''low light mode'' if you use it in normal video mode -pro with proper settings. keep it up with this amazing work! 👏 Thank you
I highly appreciate the style of this review being more on the storytelling end, as it is easier to follow and it presents the possibilities for creativity more in depth than a simple series of data and plain camera tests. Framing the whole thing with well made scores and a beutiful sense of a warm autumn afternoon was a tasteful choice, and your narration and tone of voice being soothing and well written works so well! Love-love, subscribe.
I’m quite unfamiliar with cameras of this sort, so I’m quite impressed with this review. I learned a lot and found your insights thought out and articulated beautifully. Well done, well done.
I begin watching reviews of products that I'm not sure if I need but that I want to buy, and I hate when I find the perfect review that really makes me go and buy it... here I'm, ordering. Thank you for the very honest and excited review without sounding like an advertisement.
The fact that you said its cabable of soo much more than a vlogging camera and can do things even your dslr cameras cannot speaks volumes, i was thinking the same and you also proved it eith your cinematic talent. Thanks best review ive watched so far. It was either this or a DJI gimbal for my A7Cii and ma getting this. Use the A7Cii for stills, tripod videos or small hand held shots with minimal movements and this for everything else cinematically
Im confused I thought I click a pocket 3 review but what I watched is a film because how good editing was! Im so excited to try mine coming on December thank u so much ! ❤
Thank you so much for this perfect review ! It really shows the awesomeness of the Pocket 3. Everything has already been said in the comments, so I won't add anything really interesting. Beautiful pictures, excellent sound... And, well, yet another review that will have me purchase this thing of wonder ! I watched tons of praising reviews, but this one is truly special. As someone already wrote, DJI should definitely hire you ! Same goes for HoverAir, by the way - your video showing their X1 is another quality review !
I just got mine yesterday and of course I ran outside and shot some footage. To make it simple and plain: I was blown away. The upgrade from Pocket 1 to 2 wasn't that spectacular to say the least. But the upgrade to the Pocket 3 is a major game changer.
Bro your voice was so satisfying to listen to during this review. I ordered one a few days ago and can't wait to make content on my channel with it. Best review on this Pocket 3 that I've watched so far. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Wow! Your review is simply epic, DJI should pay you for this. I bought one for my daughter and this review will make her so very proud of it! Thank you for this. Amazing!
I use to have the pocket 2 and didn't like it that much an sold it. I just got the pocket 3 and it's a huge improvement. I love using it and the bigger OLED screen is amazing.
In the Reviews category: Best Drama, Best Unintentional Comedy, Best Cinematics, Best Directors. OK enough...awesome review showcasing not only the camera's features but your own cinematography skills!
What a review! I have the Pocket 2 and I like it, but now I definitely want to get Mk3, too! Thanks a lot for sharing your insights and making this beautiful video!
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful beautiful review of the Pocket 3 - it feels as if I'd been anticipating this review from YOU for as long as you'd been waiting for the 3 to finally be released - but it certainly was worth the wait. This video should cause a considerable jump in sales - DJI take note. But that slo-mo stuff with the model's dress is positively STAGGERING! It seems a live thing! You are the only reviewer out there who really knows how to test the limits of your tools and make them SING! Your stuff never fails to bring a mist to my eyes!
Wow, an increadibly high standard and professionally presented review. With superb videography and concise & well spoken narration, I've never watched material like this before on RU-vid, a guy worth subscribing to no matter the product your interested in 😊. Huge congratulations there.
I've been letting my DSLRs and Mirrorless gear gather dust lately. My only decent video-capable body is a Canon 80D that stops at 1080P and with EF lenses is not an easy pack around. I don't even think about spending the money for a gimble that would handle it just for fun videos. I've been eyeing the Pocket 3 for the fact it is something capable and more up-to-date spec-wise. I like doing slow-motion and the idea of doing some video experimenting and maybe some vlogging. Something small and easy to keep on hand, but with some good capabilities, and that might give me a creative kick, definitely has a strong appeal. I love how your review was in itself a creative video and not just "here it is." It definitely gives me some real information to think about regarding this little rig.
Never see your videos on RU-vid before. My first time watching your video and man.. love it! The narrative, the story, the music, the transition and the clear points on the device are so great! I think I gonna get a Pocket 3 because of your video now hahaha. (Bought the Pocket 2 before, rarely use it and ended up give it away). Anyway thanks a lot of this beautiful RU-vid video man!
Finally somebody who does not hyperventilate on camera, talking at break neck speed and bombards you with visual gimmicks. Instead visual proof of what the device can deliver, fair critique where it has its place. But above all, a nice flowing intelligent text I really enjoyed listening to.
I love your voice, honestly 9.44 sounded like the beginning of an audio book and I'm so here for it ✨ Are you still enjoying the Pocket 3 all these months later? How easy did you find transferring files to your phone / desktop? I really wana get this for vlogging but my macbook is ancient.
Thanks for your comment. It's easy to transfer the files to a computer; just plug it into a USB port and drag and drop. I haven't tried editing the videos on a phone, but getting the files across can be done in the DJI app using Wi-Fi. It's a fantastic camera for vlogging as well as for the stuff I use it for. The results are a step above what a smartphone can do, because of the gimbal. And it is so much smaller and easier to take somewhere than a mirrorless camera.
Possibly one of the best review. Has all the information that I need and the filmmaking was excellent. Really showcase what the Pocket 3 can do. Thanks.
Yours is a truly good review, and your test conditions were cleverly chosen and set. This is a must-see for all those trying to make their minds up, because you manage to keep the human side of analysing while keeping a rigorous stance in what you conduct and conclude. It was a joy to watch and I feel more aware then, which is what matters most. Thank you, and keep up with this great production quality ! 👏😲
I must’ve watched 200 videos at least on this camera and handsdown yours is the best video I’ve seen. Your demo video was exactly the type of video I would like to shoot and know if it was capable of shooting that sort of video. Absolutely brilliant. I am now subscribed
First time seeing your channel obviously suggested because I've watched a few reviews of this camera which by all accounts seems to be the dream camera of all dreams, the bomb, everything anyone could ever want, changes everything etc etc. Okay we get it, really don't need to see any more of these glowing reviews however... That is one of the most gorgeous scenes opening scenes in your upload with the snow falling in two different shots, I have no idea where that was if you did it when or how but absolutely stunning... So may or may not stick around but kudos to you... Thought you were going to be Scottish and that doesn't look like Scotland but ...
great video as allways. 🙏🏼 one question: it would be interesting to see how you carry your cameras (sling bag, backpack etc..). i have the pocket 3 and the hover X1 and try to find a solution for every day carrying and quick access, while maintaining good protection for the cameras. i agree with you, that the pocket 3 case is kinda weird and not full protective. there are not many videos on youtube regarding this topic. Maybe im just a nerd 🤷🏽
Very nice! I love the image quality of my Canon M50, but I love the convenience of the Action 3 - so I find myself using it more often. But I'm not thrilled with the image quality. I wonder if the Pocket 3 would fit the bill for my type of content.
Similar boat here. I have the M6ii and it's my favourite small mirrorless camera, but I carry the Action 2 in my pocket wherever I go. But the action camera look doesn't always work for me. The Pocket 3 is a bit of a dream come true, though it's not something I'll carry all the time.
Fantastic review and what an intro. You captured my experience as well, both the pros and cons. Thanks and keep up the great and honest and funny reviews.
Sorry first time on your channel so my apologies lol, obviously the snow in the intro is not from Scotland but Canada wherever you are probably Ontario maybe toronto. Anyways beautiful work from what I can see my God from the intro to your entire cinematic approach and what beautiful focus and bokeh amongst the leaves you have won a fan over immediately. Keep up the great work
Wow wow wow I hate watching gadgets videos on RU-vid it so boring but I wanna know what I bought. But this I never felt this way in my life…. This video was very interesting to watch. To the point, a show and great editing skills….
Da gusto ver una reseña que entretiene, que es bonita y relajante. Sinceramente me hubieras vendido hasta un vaso de agua con esta calidad cinematográfica. Felicidades por tu buen trabajo. Gracias.
