Currently using the Sony ZV-1 with a Zhiyun crane gimbal and it’s just a huge setup and not practical for taking on rides. Wanted to know how the Osmo Pocket 3 did specifically on dark rides so was thrilled to find this video! Thanks for making something so specific for us park nerds!
Thanks for the review. I'm looking at the Pocket 3 to solve so low light needs. And props to you for your balls to shoot walking around such a crowded spot. That's harder than people realize.
I've had mine for about a week. Love this little camera! Surprisingly great in pretty much every way. I think it has to be the 2023 camera of the year in its class, maybe overall. Thanks for the video & Happy New Year!
Damn, it's so tempting. I have an older a7ii which cannot do 4k, and I purchased an insta360 1" 360 cam which works quite nicely to capture myself and the people I'm with when I go on trips. But the exported videos aren't high quality enough and there are some stitching glitches that sometimes come up. I might have to sell my a7ii to fund for this little cam, it's so cool and can do 4k/120p which is insane.
@@JVonKlopp yeah but like most slow mo we always overlay with another audio track so it won't matter. I'm just a little concern with some of your low light footage from the p3, it seems very grainy. Are you encoding it at high bitrate?
Why is the image so noisy? did you pull up the shadows in post? I saw a lot of low light test of the camera, but in your video is straight up noise from the first seconds. I think you have to adjusts some stuff on it for sure.
I published the video exactly as it comes from the camera. I do not wish to spend extra time post-processing video to get rid of noise that, to my eyes, is negligible in daylight and still acceptable for my purposes in low light.
I feel that it does, for two reasons: first the sensor is physically larger so it will give a cleaner image regardless. Then there is the gimbal, which I feel allows for a slightly longer shutter speed without any of the distracting “jiggle” that I saw in the footage from the X3, which tries to use digital stabilization. My previous video about comparing an iPhone to a real camera uses low-light footage from the X3 shot a few weeks prior, so you can see if the difference is significant to you
I chose to use the video straight out of the camera with automatic settings, since I think this is the way most users will be shooting. I didn’t want to show a polished, post-processed final shot that many users might not be able re-create with their own cameras.
@@JVonKloppwhat processing do the other reviewers do with the sound? And how hard would it be for a guy like me with no experience to do the same? thank you!
I shot in Pro mode but left all settings in Auto. I wanted to see how the camera performed with the kit-of-the box settings. Audio and color are also straight out-of-camera with no filters or color grading.
