The DJI Pocket 3 RUINED Other Cameras | LONG TERM REVIEW

As a professional video producer and filmmaker, I usually rely on massive camera rigs to get the shot. But lately, I’ve been reaching for the DJI Pocket 3 for 90% of my YouTube content. In 2026, is a 2-year-old gimbal camera still worth your money? I’m a video producer, and my favorite camera right now looks like a toy. Here is why the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 ruined my desire to use heavy cinema rigs or my iPhone. At least for YouTube. In this long-term review, I break down why "friction" is the enemy of creativity and how this tiny device beats my professional gear where it counts for YouTube. We also address the elephant in the room: The DJI Pocket 4. Waiting for the "next big thing" might not be worth it. Shout out @katydidliving for filming me. This video is not sponsored.
