Introduction

Overview

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a handheld gimbal camera with three-axis mechanical stabilization, which is capable of shooting stable and smooth videos in various scenarios. The 1-inch CMOS sensor ensures low-noise, high-quality footage in high-contrast environments. In addition, the 10-bit D-Log M color mode provides a more comfortable color perception and a larger dynamic range, which is convenient for post-production color correction.

The rotatable touchscreen of Osmo Pocket 3 allows users to check the live view of the camera, rotate to start recording, tap to adjust the settings, and can also be used to switch between horizontal and vertical shooting modes. Osmo Pocket 3 adopts a built-in three-mic array, which can effectively reduce wind noise and record stereo sound. It also supports the connection of external mics and monitoring earphones. Users can enjoy more with a variety of optional accessories such as Osmo Pocket 3 Handle With 1/4" Thread, Osmo Pocket 3 Battery Handle, Osmo Mini Tripod, and Osmo Pocket 3 Wide-Angle Lens.
