Osmo Pocket 3: Mic 2 Firmware Update + Wide Angle Test!

🎥 Welcome back to Day 2 of testing the DJI Osmo Pocket 3! In this video, I’m focusing on some key improvements and new gear I’ve been experimenting with for better vlogging.

🎤 First up, the DJI MIC 2! After a crucial firmware update and adjusting its positioning closer to my mouth, the audio quality is drastically improved. Hear the difference for yourself! I’m sharing my settings and tips for optimal sound.

🔍 I also tested the Neewer wide angle lens adapter for the Osmo Pocket 3. While it does provide a slightly wider field of view, I did encounter some lens flare. We’ll take a close look at the pros and cons and whether it’s worth it for your vlogging setup.

🚶‍♂️ To make my outdoor walk and vlogging experience more comfortable, I used my trusty MantisPod. This extended my reach and made handholding much easier, resulting in smoother and more dynamic shots.

  • Real-world audio tests with the updated DJI MIC 2.
  • A detailed look at the Neewer wide angle lens adapter and its effects.

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 .
