Is the DJI Pocket 3 the Best Camera of Year? My Six-Month Review

A few years ago, I tried my hand at daily vlogging my time through Alaska while living on the road. In doing so, I had to move away from trying to film everything on one of my mirrorless cameras, mostly the Fuji X-T4 that I had at the time. Thus, I found myself filming on my phone most of the time, simply because I needed to focus on telling stories about what I was doing rather than taking the extra time to continually use a large camera. I just needed something that was quick, easy, and convenient. At the time, that was my iPhone 13 Pro.

Since then, I've wanted a camera that fit the level of convenience a phone has, but didn't suffer from all the sacrifices you have to make for such convenience. Thus, when the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 was released, there was a chance that I could finally film at a quality level I wanted with the convenience of something like a phone. 

In this video, I detail my experience with the DJI Pocket 3 over the last six months of creating vlog style videos on my channel. I even use it as a b-cam next to my much more expensive Canon R5 and Canon R7 for doing stationary work. This camera has changed how I create, and no words can describe what you'll see in the video to detail exactly how it has done that. 

Alex Armitage has traveled the world to photograph and film some of the most beautiful places it has to offer. No matter the location, perfecting it's presentation to those absent in the moment is always the goal; hopefully to transmute the feeling of being there into a visual medium.
