I recently picked up a new gadget called the OSMO POCKET 3!
Honestly, this thing is incredible. The first thing that blew me away was the size. When I first held it in my hand, I seriously thought, “Wait, is it allowed to be this light?”
Goodbye, 3kg Workout Gear
In the past, whenever I wanted to shoot video, I had to gear up with my DSLR and a gimbal. As many of you probably know, that whole setup weighs about 3kg (over 6.5 lbs) total…
Sure, the footage looked great, but shooting felt more like a gym workout than a hobby (lol). There were even times I’d bring it on trips but never take it out of my bag because it was just too heavy to deal with.
Hello, 200g World
But the OSMO POCKET 3? It’s only 200g.
From 3kg down to 200g. That’s like 1/15th of the weight. It’s so light I barely feel it in my hand. It slides right into my pocket, and I can whip it out and start shooting instantly. Once you experience this kind of freedom, there is absolutely no going back.
Quality That Actually Impresses
You might be thinking, “Since it’s so tiny, the video quality is probably just ‘okay’, right?” I thought the exact same thing.
But when I checked the footage, I was completely blown away. It’s surprisingly close to my DSLR—super smooth motion and the colors look amazing. It is shocking how far technology has come to pack this much power into such a small body.
No more sore shoulders for me! I’m going to take my new little partner everywhere and enjoy shooting videos way more casually from now on.
