It’s time to talk about the new Osmo Pocket 3, If you’re as obsessed with documenting your runs as I am, whether that’s video or photos, you’re gonna want to hear about this tiny video camera that fits easily in your running belt or hydration pack. 🏃♂️📸
First off, this pocket-sized powerhouse has a 1-inch CMOS sensor that lets you capture some seriously good-looking footage. I’m talking about high-quality, detail-rich images that you’ll want to plaster all over your Insta feed.
Trust me, your trail runs and epic finish line moments never looked so glossy, and stable for such a small device.
And can we chat about that 2-inch rotatable touchscreen? You can go horizontal or vertical, which is a game-changer if you’re juggling between Instagram Reels and YouTube content like I am.
It’s so intuitive, you could probably fiddle with it mid-run (Not that we’d recommend that; gotta watch that gnarly terrain, right?).
But what’s got me geeking out the most is the 4K/120fps video capability of the DJI OSMO Pocket 3. Imagine capturing your sprint finish or that killer hill descent in stunning slow-motion.
This is the stuff that gets likes, shares, and all those “what did you film that on” comments; if that’s what you’re after of course, I prefer to just put out content that pleases me, rather than hunt for approval, lol.
The 3-axis gimbal mechanical stabilization is one of the cherries on top. We all know runs aren’t exactly smooth sailing; there’s dodging puddles, hopping over roots, and the occasional “watch out for that snake!” moments if you live here in California.
This gimbal ensures that your footage stays silky smooth through all the action.
For those of us running at dawn or dusk (you know, avoiding that Cali midday heat, although it’s much cooler right now thank goodness), the Osmo Pocket 3 has specialized image quality optimization for night shots.
This means your low-light runs will still look fab with less grainy, unclear shots that you’re embarrassed to post.
But wait, there’s more! ActiveTrack 6.0 is gonna be your new BFF as a runner too. It has Face Auto-Detect and Dynamic Framing, making it easier than ever to film yourself when you’re on the move.
