How is it for shooting sports? Like soccer? Son's team has overhead camera for game analysis but I want to capture just my son.
Same here…

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I bought it recently and I like it. Made couple of comparison videos of osmo pocket 3 and iPhone 15 pro max, if you are interested. https://youtu.be/ZEQad7Oaals?si=qHyyYZRz3_jPS_Lc

Zoom sucks. It's digital zoom and only 4x. I bought a traditional camcorder for my kids games. Much better at zooming onto individuals. The Dji when I tried it out was great for close ups, vlogging and being near but not having optic zoom kills it for me.

I recently went to Japan and got the whole kit for like $550. I can't wait to go back to Tokyo and pick up some more dji stuff. Also got a ronin rs4 pro for much cheaper there than USA.
"the whole kit" being? This is less than that.

I use the Pocket 3 for exactly this purpose. I've used it to shoot my kids' 7v7, 9v9, and 11v11 soccer games. I'll then post highlights/full games and share them with their teammates.

Here is a compilation of my footage below. Keep in mind I'm def not winning any awards for my camera work or editing skills — just a parent who likes to capture the memories…

A variety of different sports and conditions I've shot, some zoomed some not: Sports Compilation Filmed With Osmo Pocket 3 (4K) https://youtu.be/jpWMdC3Vc2U

I film and upload these all in 4K (2160p), so make sure you adjust the YouTube settings accordingly to get the best possible quality. You'll notice the footage looks fantastic when they are on my side of the field, less so on the far side.

So it seems only difference between the 2 are:

Sams Club ($498) has microSD card ($17)
Creator Bundle ($669) has DJI Mic2 Transmitter ($99), Mini Tripod ($16), Wide Angle Lens ($49), & Carrying Bag ($35)

Difference of $171 between both bundles

So if you need those items the Creator Bundle is still worth it.
Still debating which bundle to get though.

Thank you for sharing. I can see what you mean about the details across the field. I may have to get a true camcorder to zoom in across the field.

On 11v11 can you track a single player or even just the ball say half the pitch mainly offensively?

The camera has the ability to track an object but really that's more for up close like if you were, for example, vlogging in a kitchen and moving side to side within the gimbal range.

For 11v11 the object (e.g., person, ball) size relative to the distance is too hard to lock on to
