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.

Lack of weatherproofing is a dealbreaker for me. Action 4 or waiting for 5 is the way

How is the video quality compared to your 15 Pro with ProRes HDR enabled?

I think you have the wrong idea. This is a very wide angle lens. Unless you're running on the pitch with the team tracking isn't going to make a difference. It's just going to be a wide angle shot of almost the whole pitch depending on how close you're sitting.

This is just copy and pasted from my previous post on the Sam's Club deal:
I have the Creator Combo and I use it ALL THE TIME. That said, I'm also a Content Creator for my job. (if you want to see footage shot with the camera: https://youtube.com/@restorerz Insta is our main social). I picked this up because shooting with an iPhone on a Osmo Mobile 6 is nice, but what ISN'T is the airdrop time and need to actually use my phone when on the site and the battery suck. Also use a GH6, BMPCC4K (and about 7 different lenses), 2 GoPros and DJI Mini 4 Pro. This has turned into my EVERYDAY USE camera. PROS: size, portability, ease of use. CAN shoot Log for color grading (when needed). Easy connection via DJI Mimo to record remotely (aka, from inside your car or from the ground when it's mounted). Good battery life. Also easy to connect via Mimo app and download to your phone.
CONS: slightly flimsy when not in protection. Small screen (but MUCH larger that previous versions). Zoom (Dig zoom, can go maybe 1x but after that, don't bother). Sports are fine if you're capturing the 'play' but for any 'close ups', worthless.
This version doesn't come with the Mic 2, which I DO use cause I do go on camera a lot, but if you're just recording family events and stuff, that won't matter.
If anyone has questions, feel free to ask.

ADDED: I barely use the tripod that comes with it, as it is very small and rather flimsy, but that's only because I have many more options to use. It also looks like it doesn't come with the case that it comes with normally, I could be wrong so you might need to get some sort of protector for it. In the end, this is a pretty good deal, but you're only saving a few dollars.

Auto track, no, not effectively due to limited range and small object detection limitations.

However, I film my and my friends' kids 7v7, 9v9, and 11v11 games all the time with this camera. It is very smooth thanks to the gimbal so everything is nice and crisp.

That being said, the zoom is limited so, while shots on the near side of the field are amazing, the far side is less than desirable.

Here is a compilation I put together of me filming some youth sports, mostly soccer. Even if the camera doesn't meet your autotracking needs, you still may find it valuable for getting some buttery smooth close up action shots…

I own this. bought it for my youtube. it is decent camera. if you are using for personal use, use phone or I would buy pocket 2 or wait for the price drop on this. if you have professional use, I definitely recommend this one. Only flaw is zoom function. iPhone 15 PM/ Samsung Galaxy beats this camera just for that. low light function of OP3 is far superior than iphone/samsung.
If anyone is interested, I made few videos using this.

Dang. Just bought the Sam's deal for a couple of real estate video tours. I would have preferred the tripod over the bigger SD card. Ah well. It takes wonderful video. I do wish there was a z-axis dampener for it, but I can smooth that in post.

I have barely used my Pocket 2 or the 2 DJI gimbals I bought, not a content creator, just a random guy taking some photos/videos.
For me either I go with the route with a camera, or no camera just phone, a gimbal or gimbaled tiny camera seems combines the worse of both, not handy and not great quality. I guess this is a good purchase if you decided to say start your YouTube channel.

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.
BTW, the gimbal doesn't stabilize the Z-axis (up/down) movement, just FYI.

Personally I prefer the creator combo as it has the mic. This is not that great for 500
Can you refer us to a better price? Because I have not seen anything better or even close except the REI pricing mistake lol
