In this video I’m breaking down why I genuinely think the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is the perfect travel camera—and why it’s the one camera I tell people to bring on basically every trip. I’ve had mine for over a year, I’ve taken it on close to 50 trips, and it just stays by my side because it’s lightweight, discreet, and I know I can grab the shots I want the moment I want them. The big turning point for me was traveling with it in Spain after years of bringing a full mirrorless setup—Italy was the trip where I realized I didn’t even want to pull out a big camera in crowded spots, museums, or coffee shops. What makes the Pocket 3 special is that it gives you gimbal-stabilized, cinematic footage in a tiny package that doesn’t intimidate people (half the time they think it’s a toy). I talk about using it everywhere—from airports and airplanes to restaurants in Barcelona and my favorite coffee shop in Portland—without it feeling awkward. I also explain how I pair it with my DJI Action 5 Pro for an easy two-camera setup, how the color matches well in post, and why the Pocket 3 has actually made me a better videographer by letting me practice gimbal moves constantly.
