- All right, so this is the new DJI Osmo Pocket 3.
Has a two inch display and a one inch sensor.
And Sam is already impressed.
- What dude!
I thought it was already cool.
I was like, "Wow, it's so much surface area."
And then you went like that
and then that turns it on.
- Yeah, pretty cool, huh?
And also has a receiver
for this wireless microphone right here.
So far we've been listening to this Rode wireless mic,
but we're gonna go ahead and switch over to
this DJI mic right now.
And how does this sound?
- Oh, it's following you.
Wow! - I'm not moving in at all.
Subject tracking must be on
also a huge thank you to our sponsor
Lickd because of them we get to use
music like this in today's video.
(both laughing)
- Can this just become our new vlog setup?
I mean, I love the image we get out of the A 7 IV, but
it doesn't really fit in the pocket, you know.
- It's more important
to see how it works when we're traveling.
So let's go somewhere, let's go do something.
Where should we go? - San Diego.
- Let's do it.
(upbeat music)
♪ Who cares about a game ♪
- [Gene] Oh my God, they just had a proposal.
- [Sam] That was exciting, that was a good moment for them.
- [ Gene] We literally just witnessed an engagement.
Oh my god, they just had a proposal
and we have made it to
San Diego. - San Diego.
- And check out the low light of this camera.
So usually there's a few ingredients for
good low light footage.
So one, a fast lens.
So this is an f/2.0 lens on here, which is pretty fast.
It's like a prime lens speed.
So that's great, a bigger sensor never hurts.
So of course the one in sensor.
And then also there's shutter speed.
So the slower the shutter speed,
the more light can come in and hit the sensor.
And typically with smaller cameras like an action camera,
you want the shutter speed to not be too slow
or else you get that motion blur.
And then once you digitally stabilized
motion blurred footage,
then it just looks kind of weird and blurry and blah, right?
But this is gimbal stabilized,
so we don't need that digital image stabilization.
All right, so this is ISO 3,200 in D-Log M,
and we are gonna go ahead and hop into
normal mode now.
So we don't have log,
but we get to go a little bit higher
on our sensitivity 6,400.
But this does also have a night mode,
which will let us go even further.
And we are now in night mode,
which actually goes up to 16,000 ISO,
but we are currently at 12,800.
Like this random parking lot that we are standing in.
You wouldn't actually expect to be able to film here because
this, it's pretty dark. - Sure, yeah.
- Honestly, I feel like this is totally
usable as like a nightlife camera.
- [Sam] I feel like you're really falling in love
with this camera dude.
- [Gene] Like honestly, if I can carry around my
A7 less and just carry this thing around,
especially for just like vlogging stuff.
- The thing that appeals to me is that it's so tiny that
nobody really caress where we're at with it.
Like we're not getting kicked out
because if we had the Sony and it's,
"Excuse me sir, you can't film here."
We can vlog in even this super dark, low lit bar.
- Realistically, if we had the A7 right now,
I would not be down to set it up on the tripod and be like,
"Hey, we're in stealth mode."
- A thunderstorm that's happening inside the bar.
Tune in for more.
- All right, so how long does this thing take
to turn on unfold and start recording?
I think DJI did a great job here.
So check it out, I'm going to unfold the screen
and it just turns on,
starts recording just like that.
And also it just picked up the wireless transmitter mic.
I did already have this on so it just kind of picked it up.
The reason why it's so fast is because
I have this feature on screen rotate and capture.
So basically as soon as it turns on, it starts recording.
I also like that you could tell it which direction
to look as soon as it boots up, so
now I have it facing forward.
Or if you plan on vlogging, then you could just
have it face back towards you
or you could just have it in the last setting.
So whatever you left it at,
it will automatically go back to that
and you could always triple tap there
to have it turn around, hello.
Also notice there's rotate screen to power off
by default it's in two seconds,
but you could have that be instant or never.
But check this out.
Basically I can rotate it and it could turn off,
but I could also just hit continue.
And now we're recording vertically and notice
that the camera doesn't actually turn to its sides.
So we are working with slightly less resolution here.
So this is what the Pocket 3 looks like in its case.
And if we compare to the previous version, the Pocket 2,
a little bit bigger, a little bit heavier
comes out like that and then you flip that open,
which turns on and activates the camera.
It just stashes away in here and it protects the
display as well as the lens and the gimbal.
At the top of the case there's a little slot up there
where I can hold this microphone
just like how we were able to do that
in the previous version.
And then if we look inside, there is a
wide angle adapter that's in here.
So this is magnetic.
So let's go ahead and turn this back on
and this just attaches just like that.
And now we have a wider field of view.
There's also gonna be some magnetic ND filters
coming out for this.
We don't have them yet,
so we're not gonna be able to use them in this video.
But it is something that has come in, so
you can control that shutter speed.
The bottom of this is kind of flat, so you can
put it down and it will stand on its own,
but it's not gonna be that hard to knock it over.
So there is this attachment which locks onto the bottom,
gives you a quarter 20 to attach a tripod.
There is also a bigger version, which does give you
an extended battery as well.
So when I plug it in, it will show you
its battery life for the camera as well as
the extended battery right here
and has this quarter 20 on the bottom.
I do wish that there was like an easier solution
to set this down somewhere secure.
Another way I've been using this case is actually
taking it and mounting it back in upside down.
It's not really an official way to do it or anything,
but I like that I can utilize this microphone still.
Then I can go ahead and take it out
and hand it to whoever I'm trying to film or whatever.
Otherwise it just lives right there
and I can just vlog with it.
You do also get 10 bit D-Log M on here.
So it's a flat image and I get to color grade it
so that is a little bit more pro
and also even 4K up to 120 frames per second
in the super slow mo mode.
Are you tired of striking out?
Well, good thing is with Lickd you could use
some of your favorite music
and not worry about copyright strikes.
- You know who my favorite artist is?
Kendrick Lamar 'cause he has the hits.
And thanks to Lickd I could use them to do this
epic montage of me hitting the crap outta these balls.
♪ Smoking out pouring up ♪
♪ Keep that lean up in my cup ♪
- So sign up for Lickd, then your next video
will be a home run.
Oh fuck.(laughs)
I got too close to hit my arm.
And that was a good line delivery too.
With over 1,000,000 tracks to choose from, they have
a lot of things that are new and popular these days,
but also some of the stuff that
brings me back to high school.
(upbeat music)
Now, popular music in your videos
usually means copyright claims and demonetization.
But when licensing through Lickd
you get to keep your hard earned (indistinct)
- Score big with Lickd, curated playlists,
they have a lot of them
to help you pin down exactly what song you need.
- [Gene] Now for those times you're not
looking for the biggest hits.
They have over 100,000 stock music
options to choose from
which makes great options for background music.
That link below gives you 50% off
your first mainstream track
and 14 days of free stock music.
Thanks again Lickd for sponsoring today's episode.
We're doing our little morning run right now.
This is day four of running and exercising
in the morning before we really get our day started.
Bringing this camera along is
only really possible because of how small it is.
You know, if it doesn't fit in the pocket,
I'm realistically not gonna bring it out on a jog.
- Unlike a GoPro or an action camera,
I like that this already comes with a handle,
so it's easy to hold.
You don't have to do this thing.
- Now I'm loving the large one in sensor
and a nice fast f/2.0 lens.
But that does mean that our auto focus
needs to be pretty spot on because
it is gonna be somewhat shallow depth of field.
But this Pocket 3 actually gives us
phase detect auto focus.
Not face detect auto focus, where it tracks our face.
It does have that too,
but phase detect auto focus,
which is that technology and the sensor.
But this seemed like the auto focus
has been pretty spot on so far.
Hi, hello.
- Oh!
came a little bit too fast on me.
- On me right now
and I think I could tap on Sam's face
and is a focus on Sam now.
So far I've been carrying around this
wireless microphone with me just to get some
extra clear audio.
But actually I do wanna just see how it sounds
if we're not using this microphone.
So this is the built-in microphone here
on a pretty windy day.
Go ahead and digital zoom into that.
I'm not a fan of digital zooming.
I would always prefer to optically zoom.
- Bro, there's a caricature artist over there.
I always wanted to do a caricature art.
Do you wanna be in it with me?
♪ Moon ♪
♪ Girls whatchu y'all tryna do ♪
- Oh man.
I wanna try vlogging more on this
and literally see this camera
in a ton of different lighting situations
and really just see does the footage hold up in
all these different situations.
So I'm gonna just try vlogging with it for a little bit.
We're also on our way to
fly some FPV drones with our friends at NewBee Drone.
They've got some drones that they're testing out right now
and those are my favorite words.
(upbeat music)
♪ In my dreams am dying all the time ♪
- All right, so since this is a gimbal stabilized, I mean
I should be able to put this on an FPV drone
and get Mavic light footage. - Maybe.
- Mount up front right here.
So I'm going to basically put this camera on here.
Now this is like a 20 mil equivalent,
so I'm gonna put this wide angle adapter and it should
wide it out a little bit.
(upbeat music)
Now being mounted to the drone seems to be
one of the things that the Pocket 3
is not particularly good at.
I think it's because of the vibrations
coming out of the drone or anything with shock.
Now we did try again, but this time
without the wide angle lens to see
if that was causing the problem.
But the vibrations from the drone
just seems to come through
and give us that jello effect
and mess with the auto focus.
Now there were times where the
drone settled down a little bit
and the footage looked nice and smooth.
But generally this is something that's
probably better left for the action cameras.
The action cameras don't have moving parts so
you don't have to worry about
the vibrations affecting the gimbal.
And actually earlier when we took this on the rollercoaster,
it did freak out the camera a little bit
and I think this camera can actually
handle most rollercoasters.
But this one in particular, it was so shaky,
I thought I was gonna black out.
Oh, that actually hurt.
We thought we were just gonna be like,
"Oh, we'll get some fun footage for this Pocket 3," but
I know, I feel like I have a concussion now.
- I was like seeing double vision, I was just like,
"Wow, wow, wow." - Oh my God, yeah.
Even the camera, I think I shook the gimbal so much
and it was like gimbal protection error
or something like that.
Like even the pocket was just like, "Hell no."
- I thought that it was a very innocent looking ride,
and then we got in there and it's like,
"What is this?"
- [Gene] Oh, did you just build this soft box out yourself?
- Yeah, we built it.
- [Gene] Just with some spare cardboard.
You said you've had a Pocket?
- I have both.
- [Gene] Oh, you have both the Pockets?
- I give the first generation to my sister
and I keep the second.
- Why'd you get the Pockets? - Mmh,
'cause it's small.
- And you like it that it's getting more stabilized?
- Yes, but the only things I don't like
is the picture quality.
- Check it out. - Mmh.
- This is the new Pocket 3.
Little bit heavier, a little bit bigger.
Take this screen and you flick it out onto the side.
- This way? - Yeah.
- Wow.
- And that turns it on.
A much better image quality because of that bigger sensor.
- Yeah. - Face detect auto focus,
a much snappier auto focus.
So face auto tracking, so you could just be
in here and then- - Wow.
- Do your demos like this. - That's nice.
One question. - Yeah.
- Does it comes with optical zoom?
- No, optical zoom.
- Okay, so digital. - Yeah, digital zoom.
I think the trade off is if you put an
actual optical zoom in there. - Yeah.
- Then you're not gonna have a lens as fast.
- Yeah. - Or it's gonna be heavier.
- When I'm traveling,
I really want to bring my camera but it's too heavy.
If this camera's good then
I would definitely get one.
- And of course it wirelessly connects to the app,
which is handy, but let's see what
this thing is capable of.
So, of course we have gimbal control
and there is a limit to the end of the gimbal.
This is active track 6.0.
So I can just highlight myself it looks like
and it will follow me.
And while it's tracking me,
I do still have the ability to frame.
So right now I'm centered, but I can go ahead and
push me over to the corner here
and it will hold that composition.
How hard is it to lose?
And I'm gonna put some stuff in front of my face
so it tries to confuse you.
Is still tracking me?
I don't know.
I go behind this bag
and then come out again this way.
Oh, okay, I lost you.
Let's see if it tracks Tricky.
Oh yeah, it's, look,
check this out.
Let's see if she goes behind, it might lose her.
- Oh, it picked you up.
- So you know, of course it's got its limitations.
But even this little joystick was useful
in the batting cage where I wanted to
put this camera in the danger zone
and just kinda hide in the corner.
Now it is worth noting that for the super slow mo 4K 120,
you do not get to use D-Log M there.
It's a whole different setting
that you kinda have to switch into
after 60 frames per second.
And in 4K 120, the image definitely is not as sharp,
but still it's fun to have.
I love having 4K 120 and
full HD, even if it looks less good.
Also, when it comes to the wireless mics,
notice that it's connected to this one right here.
But it does look like there's another slot here.
So if I had two of these,
I should be able to pair both of them to here.
But if you look closely, you can see that it's transparent.
And I can actually pull off this wind cover right here.
There's this little plastic stubby
that goes into the 3.5 mil mic check
and covers like all this mic right here, it just
plugs in like that should sound a little bit better
for the wind.
But tomorrow we're taking off for Mexico for few days.
Kari's very excited about it, right?
And she's also doesn't want me to be filming the whole time.
I can't help myself.
I have to film a something
that's what I do, right?
But check this out, little minimalist bag right here.
And I'm trying to fit everything I need there
and look how much space this takes up.
That's it and then extended battery
plus little tripod feet on this side.
So that literally gives me the entire compartment for
some lipo batteries, FPV drone, goggles and control
an entire like mini FPV drone set up in here.
- This might be the first time that
I'm bringing more gear than you.
- Oh yeah, Kari's bringing her metal detector.
So out of this one little bag I'm wearing,
I have everything I need to fly this drone right here
and vlog with a gimbal stabilized camera.
Isn't that crazy?(laughs)
My next request for DJI,
I love the 03 Air Unit that I'm flying with right now.
It's very clear, but the low light on it kinda sucks.
Can you give us a low light camera for FPV, please?
That would be incredible.
Oh, I crashed.
It is somewhere in here.
All right, let's go ahead and see
if I could use this active track to incriminate myself
by hopping a fence into private property.
Okay.
All right, so we've made it to Mexico
and also got some pricing information.
So I'll go ahead and put it up on the screen right here.
Little over 500 bucks for the camera by itself,
or closer to 700 if you're gonna get
all the bells and whistles and extra battery and all that.
Definitely more than the Pocket 2.
But I mean this camera is just so much more capable that
I honestly if you compare it to anything else
that's also around 500 bucks,
it's pretty great.
I'll be honest, I'm actually really
excited about this camera.
And this video's not sponsored by DJI, by the way.
Like I have to legally disclose any sponsors
within the first 30 seconds or a minute of the video
due to FTC regulations.
But a few days ago was exactly
seven years since I uploaded my first video on YouTube.
Like I feel like those older people, they're like,
"Where does the time go?"
No, seriously like where did it go?
Seven years?
This is the first time where I really looked at a camera
that can fit in your pocket and thought like,
"This could be my new A camera."
It's definitely not the same quality
that you get out of full frame mirror less camera.
I would say the quality is in between a phone
and mirror less.
And honestly, for a lot of situations
I would prefer the convenience.
Oh, I do wanna check the limits of this gimbal real quick.
So basically, if I go straight
and then I start panning to the left,
that's my limit right there.
So about 45 degrees to the left.
And I can go to the right
and I can just keep on going
back towards selfie mode.
And in selfie mode, if I go to the right about 45 degrees,
that's my gimbal limit.
So basically if you're looking at the gimbal like this,
there's kind of a blind spot on the left quarter and it is
called the Pocket.
So it should fit in your pocket.
It looks almost like there's a banana in there.
Larger side of things that I would want to
carry around in my pocket,
but it definitely does fit in there.
And especially with this extended handle and what not,
it does become two things.
One of the things I would love to see is
an aftermarket case for this,
where I can take two of these microphones
and mount it on here.
And also, I would love it if this thing
could turn into like a little tripod.
'Cause there's a lot of times where
I don't really feel like I wanna carry all this around.
I just wanna carry it around this little package.
And you know, if there's just a
clever way to mount it on here and have
this kind of turn into a little tripod
on its own or something.
I mean, someone can figure it out I think.
I also love that we can wirelessly
set up our shot from back there.
I mean, it's kinda like the Ronin 4D's wireless control,
you know, but just like a tiny version of it.
We were using the app during bowling and that was cool.
You just plant the camera somewhere and then go and
frame up your shot.
But anyways, let's see what you guys are saying down there
in the comments from the last video
where we used a microscopic lens to inspect stuff.
Came across some nice friends.
That was kind of crazy, huh?(laughs)
- We had a lot of fun making it.
- Kari's basically a germophobe now
after that video. - Yes.
- "Leave it to Potato Jet to get so curious.
He finds himself intersecting with cell biology.
Such a good video."
But thank you, yeah, I thought it was a good video.
It was kind of a flop for the channel to be honest.
But I enjoyed making it.
"I like how Carrie has become more comfortable
participating in the videos,
also, she's actually reminds me of
Carrie from MythBusters."
- Oh! - Oh,
I have said that too before actually.
And I actually had a crush on Kari from MythBusters too.
And now I got Kari here.
- Now you get to marry a real Kari.
- Yeah.
- Austin says, "Don't eat lunch while
watching a Potato Jet video."
Yeah, okay so if you are gonna go back and watch that video,
which you should,
you can click it right here somewhere on the screen.
It's a good video, but
don't do it while you're eating lunch.
Yes, yeah yeah. - Don't do it, don't do it.
(both laughing)
- Everything just looks so gross in the microscope world.
But anyways, that's it, bye.
Thanks for watching
