Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s great for what it is. Don’t go thinking this will replace a camera and gimbal setup entirely. But if you are in a pinch, or on the fly, this thing is a great. I’d give it 5 stars if the sensor was bigger so it is able to handle darker settings better. Once the sun goes down you might as well pack it back up. The tracking feature is spectacular. I feel as if they are going to nail it by the pocket 4 or 5 if there is one.

Great camera! Highly recommend for vlogs, amazing quality

The product is well packaged. I received it on time and I didn’t have any problem with the product. I already used it during my last trip and all I can say that it’s worth purchasing.

Camera works good as it should takes really good videos

By far my new favorite camera. Great footage and picture quality along with the Dji mic you get great sound now too.

I love this camera!!! Great features!! I recommend this to anyone!

Highly recommend if you want to quickly capture moments without drawing too much attention. :)

Best camera ever made for blogging and cinema use. 1inch sensor is already good enough to make crazy edits

I picked up the DJI pocket from Bestbuy on January 6th 2023. One dislike. Can't remove SD card with camera in case.

So far the best little vlogging camera I have purchased!

Excited to use it. It arrived on time before trip to Vancouver

Excelent product! Very versatile and comfortable, very complete to be able to make a video blog.

Bought this but came with missing protector and sd card !!?

DJI Osmo pocket 3 is a step up from its predecessors on features and design. It is an ultimate companion for vloggers. As a family of content creators and vloggers, we found this very handy and a big upgrade from the bulky camera and video recorders we carried around. We did a few videos to showcase our new apparel design and the video quality was amazing. We were able to recreate the cinematic experience on our video content with a few simple settings on the Osmo 3, and without much editing on the PC. I also used it as a webcam with a USB cable connected to my PC to livestream the video I was capturing to gather some feedback from my team. The Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo Kit includes several additional accessories - the DJI Mic2 transmitter, a valuable addition for vloggers. With your Osmo pocket 3 placed on a tripod and the SmartTrack feature turned on, you can record while walking around. The kit also comes with a battery handle, mic windscreen, wide-angle lens, mini tripod, and a carrying bag. Design The first thing that I noticed is the 16:9 2-inch rotating color OLED touch screen for landscape and portrait mode which makes this device more appealing as you can view the video with enough details on the touchscreen, and easily access the menus on the touch screen. The Osmo Pocket 3 is perfectly sized to be held in one hand for vlogging or conveniently carry it around in your pocket. Personally, I prefer holding it with the extended battery attached, as it provides a more comfortable grip, reducing concerns about accidental drops. The Osmo Pocket 3 charged from 20 to 80 percent in under 20 minutes, making it ideal for capturing videos in an all-day event. I managed to record an 80-minute video in 4K settings and took several pictures on a trip with a 33% battery charge still remaining Gimbal with three-axis stabilization Gimbal Stabilization is the most important feature that I care most, as I always struggled capturing steady videos on my hiking trips to post on my blogs. I was able to capture nature videos while hiking and running with the gimbal stabilization providing smooth and stable videos giving it a cinematic experience. Picture and Video Quality You can capture pictures and shoot videos up to 4k/120fps videos with the Osmo 3's 1-inch 9.4MP CMOS image sensor. It also offers 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG color modes, which allows the camera sensor to record enough dynamic range with more vibrant colors and smoother transitions between the hues. The image quality was truly amazing, even in low-light conditions, not to mention the noteworthy video quality. I compared the video quality with Osmo 2 that my friend owned. I saw a big improvement in the video quality, on how bright the videos were, with the background illumination being far more superior than the Osmo 2 and the video cameras I use for my content creation and product showcasing. The Mic2 transmitter, equipped with an 8GB internal storage for off-camera audio backup, worked flawlessly in transmitting audio to the Pocket 3 from distances exceeding 50 feet. The package also includes a wide-angle lens for an expanded 108-degree field of view (FOV) and a black mist filter. Controls The 5D joystick is pretty handy to change settings without having to fumble around with the touch screen. The joystick lets you recenter the gimble, zoom, pan, tilt, and camera orientations with just a few taps. You can easily toggle between record and camera modes on the touch screen menu. Smart Features The ActiveTrack feature offers multiple modes. Face auto-detect and dynamic framing are the most common modes that I use and the most vloggers care about. The three-mic-array captures omnidirectional stereo sound with amazing noise suppression. It suppressed the background noise while I was out shooting at a bustling attraction in Singapore. One feature that stands out for me is the product showcase mode, which I absolutely love. It focuses on the foreground, blurring the background to draw much-needed attention to the product. It works great even while you are walking around. It also has creative mode with a few options - MotionLapse and SpinShot. The SpinShot feature is pretty cool, it allows you to shoot videos with a 90 or 180 deg camera rotation with one hand. Apps I am still exploring the DJI Mimo and Lightcut apps, which offer lot more features to speed up the content creation, editing templates for faster sharing on social media. Hands down, this is the device where portability meets performance and creativity knows no bounds and vloggers dream machine. The noteworthy features include the remarkable video quality in all lighting and the autofocus and image stabilization that flawlessly recreates a cinematic experience when viewing the recording on a big screen!

Amazing camera and so easy to use! I’ve been using the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for a bit now, and it’s honestly changed the way I create content. The video quality is what hits you first. The 1 inch sensor makes everything look super clean and sharp, and the colors come out great without much editing. I’ve used it in Ireland and Portugal in all kinds of lighting, and it still delivers every time. Low light especially surprised me. The built in gimbal is a game changer. Everything comes out smooth even when I’m walking or moving around, and I don’t have to think about stabilizing anything. I just hit record and focus on the moment. I also really like the rotating screen. Being able to switch between horizontal and vertical instantly makes it perfect for both YouTube and social content. The tracking is another feature I use constantly. It keeps me perfectly framed like I’ve got someone filming me, which is huge since I shoot everything solo. I use it for everything now. Travel, daily life, quick clips. It’s so small that I actually bring it everywhere, and that alone has made me capture way more moments than before. Overall, it makes creating content feel effortless while still giving me professional quality results, especially since I’m new to this. It’s the first camera that actually keeps up with how I shoot.

So this will not be a techy review. You can find hundreds of those online and I’m sure from other reviews here on Best Buy. This will be more layman’s, a bit more of my personal experience on how this has helped me and my content creation. Hopefully, this will help you decide if it’s for you and how you traverse creating content for the masses, or just creating home style videos for you and your family to enjoy. You can read all the techy stuff in the specs. No need for repeating, right?!?! I can finally start vlogging again with confidence and create quality content without the hassle of carrying my pro cameras and gear. The camera setup alone made me slow down on producing content as I’m a one woman show and although I’ve been at it for over 12 years, it became challenging to be every part of production, pre and post. This has now changed the game for me and has inspired me to get creating again…with flair. It’s compact and out of sight for the most part. Because of its size, it’s great for capturing those more intimate/raw moments of your kids dancing their hearts out, dog playing chase by itself, family gatherings, etc. I have always been a bit intimidated walking around with larger cameras, simply because it makes others uncomfortable. With the DJI pocket 3, I have already experienced a change in how I feel walking around with my gear mainly bc it’s just a small bag, as my jeans are a bit too tight to slide it into a pocket. Lady problems 😂. In fact, most recently I was able to help my son with his school project that had to be recorded and instead of having to take out my or his pro camera and set up the gear, mics and mic packs, I was able to set this up on a stand and quickly add the DJI mic in mere seconds. I couldn’t be happier with this micro but powerful tool. There’s also multiple ways that I’m able to transfer and quickly edit footage. I stayed away from the 1st two pockets bc the screen size was incredibly small and instead invested in DJI phone gimbals instead. Those were great but I also used my phone for daily tasks, so it became difficult to record and have my phones ready to answer calls or check emails, etc. So you see my issue. This awesomely cool gimbal is truly a game changer for me. It frees up my phone, I don’t have to carry a much heavier/bulkier camera, no external accessories. It’s genius. It’s crazy fast with focusing and quite honestly the tracking is one of the best I’ve experienced, compared to all of the other gear and apps I possess. I haven’t experienced many drop offs, and even when walking out of frame, the moment the subject came back, they were being tracked once again. Obviously, if they were gone for 30 secs or more, then I would have to reselect subject, but it’s great. The quality of the video is superb and crystal clear and even the low light video is one of the best in the market, especially for an all in one gimbal of this size. I also enjoy the color rendition. Skin tones appear as if I’m looking at that person with my bare eyes. The ability to color grade my footage is a huge advantage, and makes it even easier to color match footage with pro-res videos from my iPhone 15 pro max as well. The mic is such an awesome surprise and highly welcomed. I can’t wait to add a second one to my setup. It’s so easy to setup as the gimbal is the receiver and there’s no need for mic packs and extra wires and stuff everywhere. It’s just simple. The quality is clear, crisp, giving studio quality audio, even if I’m very far away from the gimbal. Bc it’s Bluetooth I’m able to connect the mic to other sources, such as my camera and iPhone. That’s amazing! The wide lens filter that comes with this bundle is great as well. At first it looks like it may not be a huge difference in footage, but looking closely at the corners you’ll see that it’s actually a good size of difference in how wide the footage becomes. There’s space in the hard protective case for another filter (Black Mist). I wish it was also included, and they could have offered other filters for future purchase instead. The battery life has held up pretty well. It’s been horrible weather (it’s not waterproof) on the days that I have had the extra time to be out all day so I haven’t used it continuously for hours, recording 4k60 video. But I’ve played with it, recorded good amounts of footage daily since having it and I still haven’t had to charge it, since it’s initial full charge. And that’s including the extra battery pack that I haven’t charged at all from the box. So in all, I will say that it’s a party animal that never quits. Lol. So the bad. Well there aren’t really “bad”. Just a few things to take note of. It’s lightweight and almost seems too fragile at times. It’s also very difficult to attach the arm strap so I haven’t even bothered after trying a few times. During shutoff, I have experienced the camera not fully turning into the off position, which is only made clear to me once I’m trying to place it back into its protective case. The camera will be facing outwards. So that’s something I need to look further into. Also, it’s a bit tough to close the carrying case with all of the gear in the bag at once, it’s doable, but sometimes feels a bit congested trying to zip it closed. I do wish that they included the black mist filter. Upon my own personal research, I wish that the filters could be magnetized to each other so I could use two filters at once, like an ND, and wide angle. The good. Well everything else. It’s an amazing little gadget and one that has been so useful in so many ways for myself and my family already. We love to do scenic drives, see new sites and mountains and this will now be the only thing I bring, besides a tripod of course. I will never feel guilty for purposely leaving my cumbersome cameras at home again, lol. If you’re on the fence, I say give it a shot. You’ll quickly see that it’s one of the best “on-the-go” camera decisions you would have made this year.

I have had the DJI pocket 3 for 6 days, i woke up this morning to go film, and the screen is blacked out and will not reset no matter what i try to do, this is a huge let down, as again i have only had the product in my hands for 6 days... i see the potential here in the osmo pocket 3 but with the screen frozen/blacked it seems to disable all use of the device, however i can still use the joystick to reposition the camera, but i cannot record, or see anything so it is rendered useless. i did try the hard reset a few times without the SD card, but the issue remains and i am out of ideas to fix it.

Returned my first P3 due to the media not being able to be viewed in app. See below pictures. On my second P3 now and in order to view the media, you have to turn off then turn on cellular signal from your phone then go back into the app. It’s quite janky for such a costly device and makes the great camera irrelevant when you can’t even edit your content. FIX THE BUGS!

If you’re looking for a “do-it-all and does it very well” camera that also has exceptional stability, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is that camera! Even better is the creator combo that comes with everything you need to get started to create high quality content at home or on the go. The price increase seems steep at first, but when you factor in the battery handle and included wireless microphone, it’s quite the deal! For an easily pocketable vlogging camera, this is going head-to-head with the Sony ZV-1 (original and Mk II) and Canon G7 X Mk III, as well as action cameras like the GoPro Hero 12 Black Creator Edition and the Insta360 Go 3. The biggest differentiator for the Pocket 3 is the mechanical gimbal for exceptional stabilization while on the go, running, or even just tracking you while it remains stationary! The only real drawback is that it is not water resistant, like the previously mentioned action cameras are, but neither are most other vlogging cameras and definitely not with this level of image stabilization. Setting up the camera was pretty easy, unbox it, turn it on by flipping the screen, and either continuing through setup via the DJI Memo app or clicking through the prompt and using one of your 5 “skips” to start using the camera right away. The limited number of skips to bypass setting up through the app is weird and I didn’t like that it’s forced on you, especially since the QR code that was on my set of instructions led me to download the DJI Store app, frustratingly, which does NOT let you set up the camera. I instead had to turn to a Google search to find which app was the correct one and why I couldn’t connect through the one the instructions asked me to. After I had the DJI Memo app, setup was a breeze! For clarity… download the DJI Memo app, NOT the DJI Store app, to setup the camera. The Store app is still useful, but not nearly as useful as the Memo app! Performance and use of the Pocket 3 is exceptional! I found myself playing around with the different functions the gimbal offers right off the bat, even before I found the correct app for setup. It’s so easy to use and the touch controls are incredibly intuitive. Being able to record in both traditional 16:9 widescreen AND 9:16 vertical makes creating content for different platforms amazingly easy! I am finding it hard to not make videos for Instagram or TikTok with how easy vertical videos are to make on this, all I need now is talent! My first out of the house test was taking the Pocket 3 on a walk with my dog, a challenge for any camera’s stability… it passed with flying colors! Even when one of her friends popped out from around a corner and we were wiggling all over, the gimbal kept the video clear and smooth! I also took the Pocket 3 with me for the Appleton Turkey Trot 5-Mile run, keeping the camera in, well, my pocket. Since the name is the Pocket 3, I put it in the third pocket of my Under Armor fleece joggers. It fit like the pocket and the Pocket 3 were made for each other, keeping the camera snuggly safe and ready for when I went to grab it and record. Speaking of recording, for quick use on the go for vlogging, do yourself a favor and turn on “flip to record,” it is an incredible feature doing exactly what the name would imply! The Pocket 3 performed exceptionally well, more than I can say about my running! Stunning image quality, excellent sound from the Mic2, the Mic2 even took a spill down a hill and survived with not even a scratch! A+ performance for the camera and microphone! Overall, I would highly recommend this to all those content creators out there who are looking for an exceptional camera system for vlogging and action shots without the need for something as “durable” as a true action camera (don’t strap it to your surfboard!), but also want the entire kit to get started! The Creator Combo is definitely the way to go, including everything you need to get started but a microSD card (conveniently sold next to where the camera is). This is an amazing piece of kit and an already heavily used camera in my gear collection!

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is an impressive compact camera that delivers performance far beyond its size. The image quality is outstanding thanks to its larger 1-inch sensor, which captures sharp details, vibrant colors, and excellent low-light performance. The 4K video at high frame rates looks incredibly smooth, and the dynamic range is noticeably improved compared to previous models. One of its best features is the 3-axis gimbal stabilization. Even when walking or moving quickly, the footage stays steady and professional-looking. The new rotating 2-inch touchscreen is another highlight—bright, responsive, and extremely convenient for switching between horizontal and vertical shooting in seconds. Autofocus is fast and reliable, tracking faces and moving subjects with ease. The battery life is solid, and the fast-charging capability is a huge plus for creators on the go. It’s also compact and lightweight, making it perfect for travel, vlogging, weddings, and everyday content creation. Overall, the Osmo Pocket 3 is a powerful, portable camera that combines incredible stabilization, beautiful image quality, and smart design in the smallest possible form factor. For anyone who wants professional results without carrying a full setup, this little camera is a game changer.
