I have this thing and has been using it for the past 2 months. And from me, who has both this and an iPhone 15 pro max, and with zero photography/videography experience, those who said that this thing does not take much better video then their phone is insane.

I will say that the video taken by this device is miles better than your typical phone video in the following aspects:
1/ Way smoother video
2/ Wayyyy better nighttime/low light video, especially when you record when walking
3/ Much more beautiful natural background blur (not computational blur), making your video look so professional.

I do agree that photowise, this thing does not take better photo than your phone.

Technically full Costco price, but a decent deal given its most of Creator Combo. Likely will see this closer to 450 or 400 for November/December.

People downvoting me have no idea what they are talking about. They are comparing to just the camera, which is $519 (so this is a great deal compared to that). But the Creator combo is $669 with everything here plus a mic. This is everything except the $90 mic. If you NEED the mic, this combo is around 10% off at best lol. Y'all gotta math harder.

"Includes: 64GB SD card, Battery Handle and Mini Tripod"

I guess the extra battery comes in the form of a Battery Handle.
And no, this is NOT the creator combo which comes with mic.

Sam's club has a similar combo with 128GB sd card but no mini tripod for $498.

you don't need this for just taking photos.
You need this if you want to take super smooth videos.
iPhone/Samsung stabilized video's cannot come close to a gimbal stabilized videos.

Not great of a price, you want the creator combo with the Mic if you're going to get the Pocket 3.

Just bought the creator combo from Amazon. Do I return that and get this?
Personally I prefer the creator combo as it has the mic. This is not that great for 500

How is this thing for regular photos?
It's ok but the newer iPhone and Samsung camera are much better. Get this only if you care of videos or blogs. If you just want photos this is kind of waste. As it's also very delicate to handle.

I have both action 4 and the pocket 3 creator (with the mic). The pocket 3's 1 inch sensor definitely gives clearer videos, and better for close up shots like vlogging or showcasing a product especially with d-log if you color grade. The gimbal is good, but if you dont walk slow or creep like a ninja, the image can look bouncy and cause jello effect on the video. The face tracking is good if you have one subject, but it can get confused if you try to have someone else in the frame, so I keep that feature off. Battery is decent, I havent had problems with overheating.

A few cons for me so far: The biggest drawback for me so far is how careful i have to be with it when i carry it around (compared to the action 4). It is not waterproof, i havent dropped it yet, but it would probably break if I did. A lot of moving parts on the camera, I was never comfortable keeping it in my "pocket". The protective case offers good protection, but makes it bulky, and difficult to position into the case properly and taking it out of the case is also finicky. Without the extended battery handle, people with big hands might have a difficult time keeping their thumbs positioned on the buttons while recording. I constantly have to double click the joystick button to re center the gimbal for my shots to maintain focus because sometimes the gimbal cant keep up with where I want it to focus.

Overall, good for slow shots (casual non sporty vloggers, slow, cinematic shots, family videos), only use during tame weather, good for places with low risk of it getting dirty, product show casing or close up shots, if youre ok to treat it like a fragile tiny a dslr camera. Action 4 imo is more versatile, has a lens guard, waterproof, can do super wide angle shots, overall cheaper, rugged, and image stability is very good. Otherwise smartphone is probably most convenient to use still with (decent enough image quality for most people)

this is a great camera, i had it for a few months. my take: buy it because its small or you don't have a good smart phone. i have a iPhone 15 pro and with action mode the stabilization and picture are better on the iPhone, its just bulky.

i mostly use the iPhone now.

For anyone that is interested, you can buy the single DJI mic for $99 from Amazon and DJI direct.

I was so on the fence in buying this, but I also have a iPhone 15 Pro Max that is with me all the time, and I will be upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro Max in a couple weeks. I ended up just getting the $99 DJI mic which can be used with the iPhone wirelessly over Bluetooth. With the latest firmware for the mic that came out a few weeks ago, the sound is fantastic.
