4K video footage recording Chinatown , Clementi Town Centre
This compact camera easily fits in your hand, making it convenient for impromptu shooting. Its standout feature is the ability to capture sharp 4K 50 videos, outperforming frame rate limitations associated with smartphone.
The built-in stabilizer ensures smooth footage, even during activities like running. Operating the camera is straightforward – power it up, adjust the orientation, and start shooting. It also allows for still photos with a two-times zoom.
Enhancing its versatility are the appealing slow-motion and time-lapse features, providing creative options for video production.
However, it’s essential to weigh the pros and cons. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 comes at a relatively higher price, particularly with the Creator combo. The sensor can’t be detached like what you you could do with the Action series.
During our test, we noticed that sensor seems to favour an elevated angle to the horizon. Every now and then, we will have to double click the joystick to move the sensor back to horizon level.
The other thing we noticed is that the microphone gain seems to be a bit low. Recording will need adjustments to increase by 10 points in VSDC editor. The DJI Mic 2 Noise Reduction is only available when paired with a DJI Received. When paired with a smartphone via bluetooth, this function is disabled. Furthermore, not all smartphones will work with DJI MIC 2 in bluetooth mode.
Its non-waterproof design limits also its suitability for certain environments. Additionally, the gimbal appears somewhat delicate, requiring careful handling to prevent accidental drops.
In Conclusion, I think DJI has got the formula right but it just need some fine tuning.
