Description — DJI Pocket 3
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 packs a 1-inch sensor with 9.4 MP resolution into a body measuring just 139.7×42.2×33.5 mm and weighing 179g. Still photos reach up to 3840×2160 in 16:9 or 3072×3072 in 1:1 format, while video maxes out at 4K with support for frame rates from 24fps all the way to 120fps. All video is captured at 10-bit color depth, with color profile options of Standard, D-Log M, and HLG — the latter two being particularly useful for colorists working in post.
The ISO range spans 50 to 16000, and stabilization is provided by a gimbal system rather than digital processing. The 2.0-inch rotatable touchscreen (at 314×556 resolution) allows flexible framing for solo creators. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C, with microphone and headphone access available via USB-C adapter or handle.
Storage uses microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC cards, and the LiPo 1300 mAh battery is rated for up to 166 minutes under controlled conditions. The body is constructed from plastic/polycarbonate with no weather sealing.
