In this review, I break down why the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 still makes a ton of sense right now—and whether you should actually wait for a Pocket 4. The Pocket 3 isn’t new, but after using it for days, the big takeaway is simple: it’s surprisingly reliable for a tiny camera. The 1-inch sensor is a real jump. Highlights roll off smoothly, shadows hold detail, and the footage looks balanced and natural without needing to pixel-peep. Colors feel grounded, skin tones look clean, and it honestly lands closer to a compact mirrorless vibe than previous Pockets. I also go into the 20mm f/2.0 lens, low-light performance (which genuinely surprised me), and why the 3-axis mechanical gimbal is still the star—smooth motion that doesn’t look floaty or robotic. ActiveTrack 6.0 works well enough that I actually use it, autofocus stays locked, and features like Product Showcase mode make real creator workflows easier. Add 4K/120, 10-bit D-Log M, the rotatable OLED screen, better-than-expected audio (plus direct DJI Mic support), and fast charging, and the Pocket 3 carves out that perfect space between a phone and a serious rig. It just works without fuss—and that’s the whole point.
