DJI has revealed the Osmo Pocket 3 (519$), their latest handheld gimbal camera in the Osmo lineup. It features a new one-inch sensor, 4k 120p recording, 10-bit D-Log M, and 10-bit HLG color profiles.
Like its predecessor, the Osmo Pocket 3 utilizes a 20mm (equivalent) lens with a fixed f2.0 aperture. (Technically, the DJI Osmo Pocket 2 was f1.8, but it’s not much of a difference). What is new is the much larger one-inch CMOS sensor of the Osmo 3, compared to the previous 1/7-inch sensor.
Screen
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 has a two-inch OLED touchscreen with 100% P3 color gamut coverage. One inch larger than the Osmo Pocket 2 and the original Osmo Pocket. Additionally, you can now rotate the screen to switch between vertical and horizontal views.
Battery
DJI upgraded their battery to 1300mAh capacity, about 50% larger than before. It can be charged to 80% in 16 minutes and 100% in 32 minutes. The Osmo Pocket 3 can record up to 116 minutes at 4k/60p, or 166 minutes at 1080p/24p. Meanwhile, the old Osmo Pocket 2, is rated for a bit shorter 140 minutes while recording 1080p/24p.
Picture Quality
The Osmo Pocket 3 features a wider ISO range of 100-6400 (compared to the 100-3200 of the Osmo Pocket 2). But, while ISO improved the resolution for stills went down. Now you are limited to 9.4 megapixel stills compared to the 64 megapixels of the previous generation.
Both the Osmo Pocket 3 and Osmo Pocket 2 can record 1080p at up to 240fps. But now you also have the option to record 120p slow motion at 4k quality.
Microphone
You can pair the Osmo Pocket 3 with the DJI Mic 2 transmitter. It contains a microphone (duh) and 8 GB of internal storage to be used as a backup for audio recordings. It can also transmit its sound directly to the Osmo Pocket 3. According to DJI, the Mic 2 transmitter should last up to 6 hours on a single charge.
Users can choose to record the audio from just the Mic 2 or record simultaneously from the camera and transmitter for a stereo setup.
