The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a small vlogging camera with a three-axis mechanical gimbal that vastly improves video quality compared to footage shot on a smartphone. This deal pairs the Osmo Pocket 3 with the Creator Combo that gives you a handful of great starter accessories. You get a DJI Mic 2 wireless transmitter, a battery handle for longer recording time, a wide-angle lens, and a case to carry it all. That means you get pretty much everything you need to get started vlogging for less than it would cost for just the camera.

The Osmo Pocket 3’s 1-inch sensor captures more light, producing cleaner footage in dim rooms and after sunset, where smaller action cameras tend to introduce visible noise. The sensor also captures a wider tonal range, so highlights like a bright window behind a subject don’t blow out to pure white as readily. For indoor vlogging and low-light environments, that sensor size is the difference between usable footage and grainy footage.
The mechanical stabilization of the camera comes from an actual gimbal that physically adjusts for your movements by using three electric motors. These motors are always adjusting to oppose your movement. As you move your hands, they adjust to keep your horizon completely horizontal and stabilize the subject, whether you are walking or even climbing stairs. Since this correction is done mechanically, the camera doesn’t have to crop to help correct the image. So you get to continually take advantage of the full width of the sensor and maintain maximum quality.
