DJI has released the third iteration of its ever-popular handheld vlogging camera, the Osmo Pocket 3. It features a 2-inch rotatable touchscreen that lets you easily switch between horizontal and vertical shooting. The camera uses a 1-inch CMOS sensor and can capture up to 4K/120fps videos. Three-axis mechanical stabilization and other features ensure that you get steady but crisp footage.

“With the Osmo Pocket 3, we’ve reimagined handheld imaging, offering users a creative tool that
combines precision and portability like never before. “We’re eager to witness the incredible stories and moments our users will capture with this remarkable camera,” said Paul Pan, Senior Product Line
Manager at DJI.

The capable CMOS sensor, coupled with image quality optimization is supposed to produce excellent quality shots, even in poor lighting conditions. It fine tunes the exposure for different skin tones for better clarity and accuracy. DJI says the Osmo Pocket 3 offers 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG color modes.

With the 10-bit DLog M, you get up to one billion colors and experience rich detail, while 10-bit HLG HDR recording provides a higher dynamic range for better visuals on HDR-enabled equipment. The end result is accurate colors and vivid highlights.

Its 2-inch OLED display is a full-colour touchscreen unit offers control of the UI and fast focusing, even with moving subjects. Product Showcasing mode allows users/streamers to use the Osmo Pocket 3 to highlight a particular subject or product.
