DJI built the Osmo Pocket, a small vlogging cam, 5 years ago by combining its super-stable drone cameras with a screen size of a postage stamp. It was cool, and its successor made a few major improvements. However, the new Osmo Pocket 3, revealed yesterday, features more than just a few. It’s a slew of sophisticated features that make Pocket 3 ready for anything.
What’s New?
While the new edition now starts at $519 (up from $349), it has a much larger sensor and touchscreen, greater battery life, built-in wireless, and an integrated joystick with a nifty rotating screen that clicks into portrait or landscape while seamlessly changing the aspect ratio of your video.
The Osmo Pocket 3 can capture slow-motion 4K footage at up to 120 frames per second, a significant advance over its predecessor’s 4K/60p capability. That means you can now shoot in 4K/120fps to record moments in dynamic, astonishingly smooth detail and enhance every spectacular moment in slow motion.
But it is not the only upgrade in the DJI Osmo Pocket 3.
Fine-tuned exposure for different skin tones and 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG color modes are also included. Pocket 3’s night photos bring low-light situations to life with clarity thanks to image optimization upgrades.
In terms of still photography, the Osmo Pocket 3 captures photographs at 9.4 megapixels. Surprisingly, the earlier Pocket 2’s smaller sensor shoots 64-megapixel images. The ISO range of the camera is 50 to 6,400. Pocket 3 adjusts the exposure to create direct output with a clean and radiant complexion for different skin tones. Get ready to steal the show whenever you’re in the picture.
