DJI Osmo Pocket 3: My Real-World Test & Thoughts

In this video, I share my honest first thoughts and impressions of the new DJI Osmo Pocket 3! As a long-time user of the original DJI Osmo Pocket, I was excited to see how the Pocket 3 improved upon its predecessor.

Here’s what I cover:

  • My experience with the original Osmo Pocket and why I loved its portability.
  • The incredible upgrades of the Osmo Pocket 3, including the 1-inch sensor and seamless DJI Mic 2 integration.
  • Why I chose the full DJI Mic 2 set (2 mics + receiver) instead of the Creator Combo.
  • Real-world test: A windy walk in my neighborhood to test the Pocket 3’s stabilization and microphone performance.
  • My concerns about DJI privacy, the MIMO app, and app store availability.
  • Overall recommendation, and who this device is for.

The Osmo Pocket 3 delivers stunning image quality and audio, and the compact design is perfect for on-the-go content creation. Watch to see if it’s the right camera for you!

DJI Software Security Concerns

Drone and Action Camera maker DJI makes products camera and action enthusiasts love. I am one of those people, I have several DJI drones, gimbals, and I have a real love for their original DJI #osmopocket .

An attempt to update the pocket’s firmware and the MIMO phone app took me down a security rabbit hole.

Couple this experience with the book I am currently reading “This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends” by Nicole Perlroth and it has me questioning my next DJI purchase.

Drone Discussion: Mini vs. Mavic Air 2

I recently purchased the DJI Mavic Air 2 with the smart controller. In this video, I discuss why I upgraded from the original Mavic Mini and why the smart controller was a game changer for me.

Note: I called the Mavic Air 2 the MAVRICK Air 2 throughout the video… I keep doing it, I can’t stop, I am sorry (lol).

I got a drone

I have been wanting to buy a drone for a couple of years and always held off… until now. I got a DJI Mavic Mini (to avoid registrations due to the small size).

Here is the maiden flight, which got me dancing a little bit. I knew I was going to use some kind of electronic music.
