DJI launches the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. This is the 3rd version of the Osmo Pocket series, and it really removes some pain-points on previous versions. The biggest changes are the 1-inch sensor (a good upgrade) and the 2-inch rotatable screen.
These features really make it usable since the previous models have small screens. Another notable feature is that you can purchase the DJI mic that syncs perfectly to it when it is turned on. Perfect for vlogging, in my honest opinion.
One thing I noticed is that when you record in vertical mode, the camera does not change orientation. That means it crops the sensor to provide the vertical video.
Check out the introduction video below.
The Osmo Pocket series is touted to have a smaller footprint so that you can carry it wherever you go. With this third iteration, it is getting bigger. If you carry other accessories, you really need a good carry case which the Creator Combo can provide.
