Looking to see how the DJI Osmo Nano footage actually looks? This is a short, straightforward comparison video filled with unedited sample clips to show you the different stabilization and field of view options.
I test the camera on the streets and beach of Brighton across all the main settings:
Stabilization Off (Ultra Wide, Wide, and Standard)
RockSteady stabilization (Ultra Wide, Wide, and Standard)
Horizon Balancing (The one setting that keeps your horizon level, even when your hand or body is wobbling!)
Then some walking shots on Rocksteady with different fields of view (FOV).
See how the Nano handles a moving landscape and check out the built-in internal microphone.
*I paid for the DJI Osmo Nano camera myself and I'm not sponsored!*

This is with stabilization turned off. I'll show you the different settings with this view of the pier here at Brighton. So, this is stabilization off ultra wide
and this is stabilization... stabilization off and wide.
stabilization off and standard dewarp.
This is with rock steady stabilization now. And this is ultra wide. Rocksteady.
Rocksteady wide. So we've just punched in a little bit there. This is just wide on the rock steady setting.
It looks like there's a storm coming in, doesn't it? But this is rocksteady and standard (dewarp).
Finally, horizon balancing. And the only field of view you can have with horizonbalancing, I didn't realize this, is the standard dewarp. So, this is the only uh the field of view for horizon balancing. Now, if I turn it on myself, uh it means that I can wobble my hand to my heart's content and it should keep that horizon uh level behind me. Oh, have I got something on the lens? That might have been that might have been completely pointless if I've got I've got latte on my lens. Uh but anyway, you get the gist. It's just to give you an idea of how the the different modes look with a... a landscape. I'm going to go over here now. Yeah. And going on about this measly just from a song, but everyone say that. Oh, I've not seen that. In English. Yeah. On Wednesday. Yeah. She said okay everyone turn to page 6...7 of the Christmas Carol and everyone went 6! 7! And she was like "what?!"
Oh yeah, that is rust. I remember you'd scare me cuz in the IKEA carpark Yeah. there would be um rust splattered on the walls. Oh yeah. I would ask while on your shoulders. Yeah. And I'd ask you Is this um um is this blood? Yes. And keep bouncing me in the gaps to scare me. Oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah, it's ketchup. I think something like that. Someone exploded a sachet.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I remember walking home a couple of years ago from school. Yeah. You know the alleyway that's by the infant school? Yeah. Someone had like literally just got see if you saw the after. It was It was actually It definitely wasn't an accident. It was like a whole bottle of ketchup squirted on the wall. Yeah. I feel really bad for whoever lived there and the next day it was washed up, I think. Yeah. Yeah, it's quite sad.
We're going to go flavor and scent. Sorry, I need to say this is rocksteady ultra wide. Yeah. I I know flavor and scent, but it came out of FL. Are they making every flavor and scent for vapes now? Yeah, I guess you can have any flavor you want. What? Like cookie dough? Yeah. Cookie dough vape with a brown vape. Yeah.
Is it?
So, I told you, didn't I, that um Nanny would always take us to Brighton and she'd always want to get to the station. There'll be like the train in a few minutes. You'll be running up this hill. That's where you... massive stitch. Yeah.
Yeah.
Rocksteady standard dewarp.
again.
So, this is RockSteady standard Dewarp with uh internal microphone on the camera. I've got the just holding it in front of me. Uh not even stretched out. How big is my face?
Can you please help my dad get to 1 million subscribers? Just click on his face. Thanks. Bye. Can we have dinner now?
It's time to get the DJI Osmo Nano talking to my phone! In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll walk you through the fiddly process of pairing the Osmo Nano camera with the DJI Mimo app. You'll see exactly how the camera links up (without even needing a QR code!) and how to get past the initial setup screens. We'll download and install the crucial firmware update, activate the camera, and finally access the live view on the Mimo app. Follow along to avoid the mistakes I made and get your new camera set up right.

This is where things get fiddly. So, I'm going to start up my DJI Mimo app and I'm going to show you how I'm pairing it so that you can you might learn from my mistakes. So, I'm going to turn on the camera. Oh, I've got low battery in the vision dock. I might need to connect a cable. Right. So, it says Osmo Nano already disconnected. Power on camera and place close to multi-functional vision dock. Where's the camera? What have I done with the camera? and I'll hit connect. And then it goes through the the opening menu again. So, we'll choose English. Whoa. And as if by magic, it Oh, it it found the camera. I just hit the camera icon at the bottom there. And I didn't even have to use the QR code. It just found the camera. So, if I hit connect, that's incredible. Check verification code on DJI device. Well, that looks similar. So, I'll hit accept on the camera. Then we have the terms and conditions where you know we hand over everything everywhere for all time ever. Agree. Activate Osmo Nano. Activate your Osmo device when you connect it for the first time to receive warranty. So I choose allow access. Then hit next. I don't want to show you my email address, but I've hit the activate button. DJI Care. Don't want that. I'll skip that. which is quite a bold move given how many DJI cameras I've broken. Uh questionnaire. Don't want to do that. Activation successful. Fantastic. So, I hit get started. Enjoy live view in DJI Mimo. Is it myo or MIMO? I ask that in every video I make. Manage files with efficiency. And there's uh tutorials for advanced skills. And update firmware regularly. So, now we are downloading firmware. I'll speed this up now to download to 50%. We can choose to install. I... I'll uncheck this box because I can do it off the uh off the mobile. It says device not connected. So I'll hit connect. Now I can continue installing the firmware. Update success. That's good. So I'll hit done. And now it reconnects to the camera. You can see on the screen here it says updated. There we go. So, we can see the the files on the phone. They have a date of 1980. I'll click back to live view on the camera and I'll click the camera button here. And just like the multi-functional vision dock, I can I can see myself on the on the phone. So, I can record using the Mimo.
Which camera is right for you: the versatile DJI Osmo Nano or the delicate DJI Pocket 3?
I take both cameras out for a side-by-side sample footage comparison. I'll show you what the footage looks like straight out of the camera for both vlogging and action shots. I test the Nano's Rocksteady stabilization while walking, compare the field of view, and even wear the Nano on a lanyard and hat clip to check its wearability and stability. See how the Pocket 3's quality compares to the Nano's rugged portability, and decide which one fits your filming style best!
THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!
Now, I'm recording the footage you're seeing now on my DJI Pocket 3 camera, which I adore. I absolutely love the footage that comes from this. And maybe this is a good comparison for you. But the problem with it is that it's so delicate. I've honestly I've had really bad uh moments of terror with my Pocket 3 and my Pocket One as well. I put this camera on the wall and it just fell off.
the magnetism wasn't uh strong enough to hold it to the metal thing in the wall. It is so nice having a camera that I can just hold at this kind of distance. It doesn't have to be like that like my Sony ZV1. I can hold it like this and it it just feels really comfortable. It's so light. Um if you want a hand grip, I'll put a link in the description. It feels so good. And it also feels good that I could just drop this. I... I could hurl it into the grass and I know it'll be okay. I've got one other immediate first impression. It's a bit of a niggle. Let's turn the camera around. And it might just be the the suction cup holder, but this magnetic holder here with the multi-function view thing. I forgot what it's called now. Look. Look at the wobble on it. It really wobbles.
Uh, I don't know if it's because of the weight of the stack, but if I put the camera straight onto this, it's it's pretty rock steady to use DJI's term, but this this is big wobble wobble wobble. that obviously you probably won't even see it on screen because of the stabilization, but it's a little bit a little bit irritating if I'm going to be really finicky. And maybe should I give you a little comparison? Just quick comparison. I'm going to make a whole video about this comparing the DJI Osmo Nano with the DJI Pocket 3. But just for the fun of it, let's just give you a quick comparison. So, I'm holding the two cameras side by side. I'll just give you a pan. Let's see if we can catch up with Casper. I'm holding the cameras in a really strange way. Just hold side by side just to give you as close a comparison as possible. So, this is the DJI Osmo Nano and this is the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Does it have the word Osmo in it? I don't know. the DJI Pocket 3. I'll just cut between them again. So, this is DJI Nano and let's run up to Casper. Casper, come here. Come. Good boy. Come. And this is the Pocket 3 just to give you a comparison. I'm sure there are settings in here that might be uh affecting things, but just as kind of a first glance cutting between the two, it'll just give you an idea of uh what the differences might be straight out of the box for the DJI Nano. Let's do some movement. Casper's not playing ball. Come here, Casper. Casper, good boy, Casper. Right, let's go. Go in.
Good boy. I'm now going to wear the DJI Osmo Nano hidden under here. I'm wearing the lanyard. If I turn it round, it should just snap on without grabbing too many chest hairs. There we go. So, this is me walking around on Dewarp and horizon balancing stabilization. It's so steady. I'm like a human tripod. And this is how it looks to wear. It's a bit difficult to gauge from the different videos online of how big this looks. Does it look like a brooch? Uh, I'll let you be the the judge of that. This is how it looks to wear. And if I cut back to the camera, I mean, it's quite a boring It's quite a boring shot, isn't it? Because it's so steady. And this is where the hat clip comes in. I've got the hat clip that's fresh from where Casper was wearing it. If I take off the camera, it's a really strong magnet, and then put on the hat clip and then clip the nano to the hat clip, I can now have some control over the tilting. So, if I cut back to the Nano, I've got a bit less sky now. So, that is a much better shot. I mean, obviously on my chest, the camera is protruding somewhat and it's wobbling as well because, you know, the the weight of it is now away from the lanyard and it's kind of pulling on my shirt. So, it is wobbling around. It's not very discreet at all. But if I cut back to the Nano's point of view, you can see that it's a much better framed shot. And if I tilt it down even more, I can tilt it down on the hat clip. So, I can really focus on the on the path here. You've got some degree of controlling the the frame while you're wearing it, but it does look really stupid. Look at it. It's just wobbling around. Not that you could tell that from the footage. If I cut back to the camera, it's so steady. That's the rock steady stabilization. Wow, this is much more footage than I thought I was going to take. This was supposed to be just uh opening the box first impressions review. I've I've tried to show you some things on the camera. So, what do you think? Is this something that you might use for your YouTube channel? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. I just get these things out the box and start recording. So, I hope there's something in this video that you might find useful if you're deciding whether or not to get one of these. I've put all my DJI Osmo Nano videos into this playlist on screen now. And obviously, if you hit subscribe, you'll be able to see my updates. I'll I'll share how things go with this camera. Thank you for hitting the thumbs up button if you've made it to this point in the video and good luck with your DJI Osmo Nano.
Can the tiny DJI Osmo Nano camera handle the flickering, mixed lighting of indoor shopping centres?
I take the DJI Nano indoors for real-world low lighting, filming while wearing it on my chest.
Trying it out in a bright clothing store and then risk filming inside a brand new IKEA.
Unedited, straight-out-of-the-camera footage to see how the Nano's stabilization and anti-flicker settings cope with challenging indoor LED lighting...

So anyway, this is the is it called the Churchill Shopping Centre? And this is what it's like on the DJI Nano. This is how the Nano looks when you're filming indoors in somewhere that's that's lit by bright LEDs. Um, usually the LEDs are a problem and they flicker even though you've got anti- flicker on and you've set the the camera if you're in the UK, you need to set it to 25 frames per second or you might be in a region where you need 30 frames per second. And you wanted to go into pull and bear, which I've never heard of before. I thought it was called pulling bear, but it's pull and bear. Pull and bear. So, I'm... I'm chest wearing like this. The camera's down here. I'm chest-wearing it on this is horizon balancing on dewarp setting and I'm just wandering aimlessly around the aisles looking at the uh keenly priced products. I'm going to go into IKEA now. It's brand new IKEA that's just opened and they are really funny about filming in um Oxford Street. So, I don't know what they'll be like here. I'll... I'll hide the camera as we walk through the door. Um, what I have been doing is wearing the camera on here, so it kind of blends in with my with my coat. Uh, which is kind of nice. But let's uh see how much I can get in the IKEA store. Probably not much at all.
There's your thing. Does it work now?
Watch.
Looks nice. What's that? It's for a kitchen top. I quite like that. What did you put in it? Um, knives and drain things. Drain things. But it is clutter though, isn't it? A little bit. It's just a tiny bit small and it get wet and moldy. Right. So, what I'm looking for, they usually happen with the shelves is um they're like book ends put on the end of a shelf. Oh, yeah. So you see shelves.
Look, I can see how well I'm doing on here.
Oh, here we go. Good shows.
It's shaped like a B as well. A B. A B like a bumblebee or a B. A letter B. Yeah. I was going to say, why is it shaped like a bumblebee? Sorry. I was going to say, why is it shaped like a bumblebee? Yeah, there's lighting seems to be coping with the mad LEDs. So, I'll just look around. See if it can cope with all kinds of light.
quite tired. Are you? Yeah. Yeah, me too. Oh, here we go. Right. So, be around here somewhere. I need shelves.
I could try and look on here.
Oh, that one. Why? I don't know. They just do. Uhoh. They don't have it here. Oh, do they have it in Oxford Street. I think there are only two in Southampton.
Six in Oxford Street. Southampton. 31 in Southampton. Okay. But not here.
Oh, that's a shame. Okay.
Right. So we will... that's a fail, isn't it?
Orchid. Does that look pineapple? Yeah. Is that an actual pineapple? I don't know. "Ananas!" Yeah, it is. We grow a pineapple. I guess you can. What the hell? That's so cute. Do you want one? Don't think we can carry it. 7 pound pineapple. And then you can cut it up and put it on some cheese... We'll have to grow our own cheese as well. That's by goat. Yeah.
Pineapple. Yeah. What? It's like a plant and then there's just a pineapple.
Huh? Shouldn't we go? Oh, wait. Maybe we should get something like this, you know.
I mean, not that one cuz it's got the hooks missing, but...
Oop, nearly walked into a sign.
Okay, we got to go.
You have to Sorry, we have to go back.
Oh, you could have meatballs and chips if you want to.
It sounds what? But I'm already just like when we make sushi. So that's what it's like filming in an IKEA, a brand new IKEA. Uh I... on the screen it looked like the lights could cope that the camera could cope with the lights. Those different LED type indoor lights, which is really difficult for vloggers who shoot in stores and shoot indoors. So yeah, it's coping quite well. I think the camera with the indoors-y lighting and shopping centre lighting. And even better, I've not been told to stop filming yet. So maybe they're just used to it in Brighton. Maybe they just don't care. They just don't care. I know. I think they've got so many vloggers here in Brighton, but you know, probably stop you if you don't have a camera.
I take this rugged, wearable camera to Brighton (the "epicenter of YouTube") to give it a full-works, real-world test. I'm not a camera reviewer, so I skip the specs and just show you the footage.
My vlogging involves:
Running to catch a train (Stabilization test!)
Wearing it chest-mounted for walking footage
Testing Hyperlapse and timelapse
Filming indoors in shopping centres, coffee shop, subway and trains
Checking the Supernight mode against the DJI Pocket 3 camera
And finally, I dunk the DJI Nano in the sea to test the waterproofing.
I also share the 2 vlogger-friendly features I love most: the detachable screen (multi-functional vision dock) and its seamless connection to the DJI Mic 2 wireless microphone.
Everything here originally shot 1080p 25fps.
I paid for the DJI Osmo Nano camera myself and I'm not sponsored!

the DJI Osmo Nano camera. I know you've been watching loads of videos on YouTube just to try and work out if this thing is right for you, but can you actually use this thing for actual vlogging? It's all very well saying, you know, giving specs and things. I use a DJI Action 2 all the time and I absolutely love that camera, having it clipped to my chest. That is why I wanted this. It's the DJI Osmo Nano. Is it better than the Action 2? Is it better than my DJI Pocket 3, which I love? And that's what you're seeing right now. So, if you can see this in shot, that's the DJI Pocket 3. If you want to compare the footage of the two cameras, what I've done, I've come to the epicentre of YouTube in the UK, which is here. It's Brighton. Honestly, I can't throw this camera and not hit a YouTuber. They're everywhere. So, I thought I'd come here. It's like the spiritual home of content creation, even though they seem to leave after a year or two. But, I thought, well, this this is the place to try uh my vlogging. I do have a vlogging channel as well, the Dad Delivers vlog. So, I'm not a camera reviewer. I won't give you any specs because I... I have difficulty with what they mean. I just want to know if this works out of the box. But I do have two or three other channels that I shoot a lot of vlogging material for. And while I love the DJI Pocket 3, what I need is something rugged and something that where my heart doesn't do a somersault every time I drop it. And I do drop it a lot. I am going to give you as much footage as possible on this, the DJI Osmo Nano. I'm going to try it with different settings. We're going to try out the timelapse and the hyperlapse. I still don't know the difference between the two. And I'm going to try and show you some low light situations like shopping centre and coffee shop just to give you as much footage as possible. So, some of the footage is going to be really long and boring. I'll try to put as much information on screen as possible. Down in the description are all the time codes. If you want to jump ahead to see any particular type of footage from the DJI Nano, that's the place to go. Our day started on the train. This is us. So, we're pulling into Havant and we had 1 minute to make a connection from our train over to the train to Brighton. Let me let me show you what it's like just holding the camera and running for a train that doesn't appear anyway.
I was ahead of this.
So that was our train. We've made the connection. Just got to wait for our one to arrive now.
So then we get to the bit where this comes into its own, which is wearing a camera. You can detach the the monitor from the camera. You probably know this from the other videos. I've got the the magnetic lanyard. If I tuck that into my pocket here, I can then stick the camera onto my coat and it sort of blends in. So long as I have the tape over the logo. But this is how I've been wearing it for the footage that you're about to see of me walking around Brighton.
That was close.
Sorry.
Oh, try again. It's cuz we got a rail card. They treat you like a fare dodger. Thank you. Thanks. So, here we are in lovely Hove. I love this station. So, you got a little uh view of the Victorian interior. I want to get into Brighton itself, but I also want to get onto the seafront. Tell you what, we could do a time warp. Should we do a timewarp to the high street? I've not done one of those before. Here we go.
Uh, that was a hyperlapse. I've just noticed on the on the screen. I don't know if you can see this. You there's a little switch so you can just suddenly clonk into times one. But all I've got to do is press this button and it goes back into hyperlapse. Look.
Let's now go for a a hyperlapse. That's times 10. This is the difference between a x5 and a 10.
We just missed the bus. I love how you can hit the X1 button on this thing and just cut between the hyperlapse and something you want to talk about or point out and then just carry on. So now I can jump back into hyperlapse.
And this is what it's like on the DJI Nano. This is how the Nano looks when you're filming indoors in somewhere that's that's lit by bright LEDs. Usually the LEDs are a problem and they flicker even though you've got anti-flicker on and you set the the camera if you're in the UK you need to set it to 25 frames per second or you might be in a region where you need 30 frames per second and you wanted to go into Pull and Bear which I'd never heard of before. I thought it was called pulling bear, but it's pull and bear. Pull and bear. So, I'm... I'm chest wearing like this. The camera's down here. I'm chest-wearing it on this is horizon balancing on Dewarp and I'm just wandering aimlessly around the aisles looking at the uh keenly priced products. I'm going to go into IKEA now. It's a brand new IKEA that's just opened and they are really funny about filming in um Oxford Street. So, I don't know what they'll be like here. I'll... I'll hide the camera as we walk through the door. Um what I have been doing is wearing the camera on here so it kind of blends in with my with my coat. Uh which is kind of nice. But let's see how much I can get in the IKEA store. Probably not much at all. There's your thing. Does it work?
Seems to be coping with the mad LEDs. I'll just look around. See if it can cope with all kinds of light. And then you can cut it up and put it on some cheese. So that's what it's like filming in an IKEA. On the screen, it looked like the lights could cope... that the camera could cope with the lights, all those different LED type indoor lights, which is really difficult for vloggers who shoot in stores and shoot indoors. And even better, I've not been told to stop filming yet. So maybe they're just used to it in Brighton. Don't care. They just don't care. I... I think they've got so many vloggers here in Brighton, but you know, probably stop you if you don't have a camera. Now, you probably know this already from all the videos that you've watched on YouTube, but just to quickly run you through why this thing is special, there are two things that are absolutely golden for me as a... as a vlogger. The first is that it comes with a monitor screen. They call it a multi-functional vision dock. And the great thing with this is you just put the camera onto the multi-functional vision dock and uh as if by magic the screen springs to life. It also means that I can turn it around so I can be filming myself like this which is really handy that I can see myself and I can also see the audio level from my microphone. I'll come on to that in a moment. But the special thing with this is that you can turn it round. So, if I push the buttons in, I can turn the monitor around, push it back together again, and then I can then film like it's a conventional camera. The slight problem with that is if you've attached your microphone, your wireless microphone to this, you can't see the camera on the monitor if a microphone is attached and the camera is detached from the monitor. So, if I turn my microphone off now, I've switched the microphone off. You should be able to hear how this camera sounds through the internal microphone. And I think it probably doesn't sound quite as good, but I think it's pretty good sound. But the great thing with turning off the microphone is if I detach the camera from the monitor, you can actually see
what's on the camera from the detached monitor, which has been so useful when I was filming in the shops and just have a handy monitor just to double check your framing, especially when you're... when you're wearing this thing. you can walk around and just have a quick check on the multi-functional vision dock monitor screen. The second great thing for vloggers is that you can attach a DJI wireless microphone to this. I've now plugged in my DJI Mic 2. This is how it sounds. Being able to attach a wireless microphone to an action camera for me is it's really special. I think being able to hear myself properly, however far away this action camera is, it's absolutely phenomenal. I've had action cameras in the past where I've tried to plug in microphones to action cameras in the past and it's it's not ended well. So, you're walking around with this really tiny compact device and you've just got all these cables hanging out the of the side there, which doesn't help with the waterproofing. By the way, my daughter is on second camera. You're doing an absolutely brilliant job. I've got to ask you this, though. Should I dunk my brand new camera in the sea? Should we do it? I don't know. I don't... Part of me doesn't want to do it. Well, that's cuz of the fear that um... Well, it's going to die. Should we do it? We've got to do it, haven't we? I've not seen one review where they just throw this in the... in the sea. Okay. Make sure it doesn't like fall in, and lose it out to sea. I'll jump in. And I've still got the wireless mic attached as well. What I'm going to do, I'm going to take the protective cover off because when I did this with the Action 2, what happened was I kind of got seawater into the protective cover and I ended up getting salt crystals and it ruined the the connection. You can stay there if you want. It's honestly it's like trying to get my dog Casper to go in the sea. I do not want to put this camera into the sea. It's time to do your thing DJI Osmo Nano, and hopefully you'll be able to still hear me on the um on the wireless microphone. I'm going to be such a wuss. I tell you what, should I put it... I'll put it on the... We'll see how it goes. See if it gets washed out to sea. Will it?
I dunno how that looked So, this camera is waterproof to 10 m. cuz I think we did what, 2 cm there? And I didn't know if you could hear me. Now I've taken the wireless microphone off. I should be able to watch the footage on the... on the monitor so you can hear me now on the DJI Osmo Nano. This is the onboard microphone. The internal microphones, right? That's a big one. I'm just worried it's just going to get taken out to sea. I only just got the thing. Right. Here we go.
Get back.
Got it. So, it survived. I don't know how that sounded. I don't know if you can hear me now because the little microphone holes might be covered in uh seawater.
So,
this is horizon balancing standard dewarp. I've got some copyright music in the background, so I have to speak loudly and not stop talking. But this is what it's like indoors in a coffee shop. I tried to do some arty shots, but I'm actually having coffee with Gordon from Gordon Gets Coffee. Uh, I don't know if you've seen his YouTube channel. Well worth a subscribe, but he's used to shooting in coffee shops. No, now you need to lick the spoon. Put it in your mouth. Keep recording. That is one of the things I forget. When you have a camera this size, you can start to put the camera into really odd places. I forgot to say this thing is magnetic. So come over here. Look, watch this. I can just stick it to a post like that and you can get a groovy shot. So you can walk away and just walk past it. You know those vlogging shots. I'll do one of those walking walk past vlogging shots.
The battery life has been shorter than I thought it would be. The multi-functional vision dock... It goes down pretty quickly, which I guess is... isn't surprising cuz it is a big monitor screen and I have had it on while doing those time-lapses and hyperlapses. I'll put on screen now just to give you an idea. I started the day at 100% on both. And at 3:00 it was down to 25% on the camera, 10% on the monitor screen, vision dock. Obviously, your mileage will vary depending on how much screen is on and how much time-lapsing you do, but just give you an idea of how much footage I shot for how much battery percentage. This is supernight. I don't know if you can see any difference. And I'll turn around uh so you get different lighting effects on my face. Whoa. And actually, I'm standing under a... standing under a lamp post that is automatically coming on uh and off. That doesn't help my Supernight test. I've filmed some more shots on Supernight of trains arriving at the station. Trains arriving and leaving. Uh just to give you an idea of what Super Night looks like with movement. Here's a comparison between the DJI Pocket 3 uh with no Supernight on and the DJI Osmo Nano with SuperNight on. We got lots of weird uh lighting going on cuz the lights are automatic. When the train came in, it tripped off all of the the um street lights, the lamps.
So this is the DJI Nano on supernight mode and the DJI Pocket 3 just uh with no Supernight on. I have tried to give you as much footage as possible on this. If you want a a little review at the end, I absolutely love using this thing. I thought it might be a bit rubbish and I thought it might be a bit big to wear, but having a camera that you can drop and use in really bad weather and just stick to things magnetically is... is so much fun. And I don't think the picture quality is quite as good as the DJI Pocket 3 that you're seeing right now. But I can put this camera in so many places. And it just feels really good being able to detach the screen and just hold it like this. And being able to vlog like this, the camera, and not have to stretch my arm out. Just to do it like this. It's really discreet. It doesn't draw attention to yourself when you're wearing it or even holding it. It just looks like you're talking to your hand. But what do you think? Is this something that might help you make more YouTube videos? That's the whole point of this channel. Say hi in the comments below. Tell me if you are thinking of getting a DJI Osmo Nano. I want my channel to help you make more YouTube videos. I think the world's a better place with more YouTube videos and I really want to help you through that. So, thank you for hitting the thumbs up or the subscribe button. It really helps me to keep this channel going. And right here is what YouTube knows you want to be watching next.

I have made a number of videos about the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. I absolutely love my Pocket 3 and use it pretty much every day. There's a link down in the description below to all my DJI Pocket 3 camera videos. And while I've been making them, I have filmed the camera from lots of different angles and directions. And I have to keep finding these shots for my Pocket 3 videos. So, I thought, why not share the footage in case you wanted to see what the camera looks like to hold, like a POV shot of what it's like to film things with the DJI Pocket 3 camera. This is my collection of Pocket 3 video beauty shots.
Okay, I've got uh both cameras running. Here's a test. I'm going to try and put the the Pocket 3 on this mag mount magnetic mount onto the uh flag pole thing here. It works. Oh my god. Don't like my 700 600 pound camera just on there. But I've set the the monitor to go off to turn itself off. I don't know if it will. I'll just wait for it. I'll just get this shot. Here we go. It survived the Royal festival hall. We'll see how that shot comes out. But this um cage, so I'm raving about the camera, but I think this magnetic cage uh this magnetic mount from Fly Mile, I think this has changed everything for me. I just need some kind of protective weather hood for it. There's always one thing that you haven't got, isn't there?
Hello, welcome back to the channel. This is slightly unusual video. This is to add to my videos all about this, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I'm recording this on my selfie screen on my phone, so the picture is going to be awful, but I wanted you to see the rig up that I have today just to test out. I've got a Ulanzi 4C cam uh backpack clip and a fly mile cage, magnetic mount cage for the DJI Pocket 3 just to show you how this backpack clip can help. So, I've got loud trains behind me. Wow. I'm running I'm running the Pocket 3 at 4K and 24 frames per second just to give it a little cinematic look. I've also tucked under here I got the creator combo. So under here is the DJI Mic 2. So I'm hoping that I'm using that as uh as the sound that you can hear now for a second. This is 24 frames per second. This probably doesn't look great. This is the shot that we want to be seeing. Uh, I'm going to stop my phone now. Clip you on and take you along for the ride. So, there's like a plate on the back. It's not very straight, is it? Not doing it very tight. That could be interesting. And it just slots onto this backpack clip. I'm trying to do it while I'm holding the phone at the same time. Sorry about the noise.
How do you upload a video to YouTube with MORE than ONE title?!
YouTube has just launched a new title A/B testing feature! I was just offered this new tool on my YouTube Studio dashboard and I'm giving you a quick, first look. I'll show you how to set up multiple titles for the same video so YouTube can test which one performs best. Is this a game-changer for creators or yet another overwhelming feature to manage?!
THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!
Hello. This is a really quick video because this thing has just come out on YouTube. There's a new feature on YouTube called title A/B... AB testing and I've literally just been offered it. It's just appeared on my YouTube studio dashboard. So, I wanted to share it with you to show you what it looks like just so you can see what might be coming up for your channel if you haven't been offered this yet. I went into one of my videos. I can show you now. If I hit on edit, suddenly at the bottom of the box where you type in the title, and every YouTube video needs a title. Can you see this icon here? It says AB testing. And when I clicked on this for the very first time, I got this message title A/B testing. Now A/B testing is where YouTube tries out multiple titles for your YouTube video. Up until now, we could only give our YouTube videos one title at a time. Now, we can give the same video multiple titles, and YouTube will offer them. You've been granted early access to YouTube's new title A/B testing feature designed to help creators compare the performance of titles just beyond thumbnails. Bear in mind, the feature is still in development. Uh, so there might be some bugs with this at time of recording. I know you're watching this in the future. Hopefully, you have this now. By using the A/B testing tool, you'll grant YouTube permission to collect and analyze performance of titles. Uh, we may suspend access to this beta feature any time. So, then I clicked try now and this is what came up. It already had my first title in the first box, which meant that I could try a second title. So, that would be the A/B testing. There's a A version of the title and a B version. And I think it hasn't explained it yet here. I'll see if there's an explanation as we go along, but if it's like the thumbnail test, YouTube would split offering each title to a different viewer. So that if the video thumbnail was shown, say 100 times, 50 viewers would be shown one title and 50 viewers would be shown the second title. But it it doesn't stop there. There's a third title down here, which kind of makes it ABC testing, doesn't it? But anyway, so I've tried uh different titles for this how to hide an Instagram post video. Uh all I had to do was type in the titles. You get 100 characters for a title anyway. And then these are my three titles. So all we need to do now is go down to the set test button down here. And it says the test is ready and will start once you save your changes. So we go up to the the save button. Hit save there. Changes saved. When you see the video in details in in YouTube Studio, it shows you the first title. So it's not that confusing, but there's also this icon here that says AB test running. Uh so it shows that you have other tests running. Now, that indication blocks the preview of the description, but that's okay because at least you know there's a there's a test running. I have to say this only seems to be working for YouTube on a desktop in the app. While the test is running, I don't know if you can see that it says AB test running. You don't seem to be able to edit the title in the YouTube Studio app while the AB test is running. So, you might want to bear that in mind. I'm sure this will all change after the the testing after the beta test of the A/B title testing. So, what do you think? Is this something that you would use? I'm a little bit uh leery of it because I've been waiting for this for about 10 years and the fact that we can try out different titles on the surface is really exciting. But what I found with the thumbnail AB testing, I don't know if you're the same, I was waiting for it for years and when it came, I tried it a couple of times and then I'm so used to having a favourite thumbnail anyway. It's a gut instinct and it's also how I want my thumbnails to look. Even just opening up YouTube Studio, I want the thumbnails to look how I want them to look. So, it's probably not very scientific or rigorous, but uh creatively, I found that the AB testing has actually pushed me more towards committing to a thumbnail. But what's your experience? Do you use the thumbnail testing? Say hi in the comments below. Is YouTube video title AB testing a gamechanger for you? Uh is it something that you'll use? And thank you for watching this little preview. I don't usually do quick turnaround videos like this. If this video is helping, thank you for hitting the thumbs up or the subscribe button.

Choosing the right microSD card for your DJI Pocket 3 camera is crucial for problem-free 4K video recording... I show you my favourite memory card, highlighting best features like Class 10 and U3 speed ratings, and also show how to properly insert and remove it from your DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. It's a little step by step walkthrough tutorial on which storage cards I use and how I put them into the Pocket 3. Hope it helps.
THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!
Hello, I'm Neil. Welcome back to the channel. Quick question: What is the best microSD card, or how do you put a memory card into an Osmo Pocket 3, the DJI Pocket 3? That's the microSD card slot. That's where we'll put the memory card. This is the one that I go for. Let's open it up, and I'll show you the two things that I look for for microSD cards, and I've bought a lot of these over the years, and I've made some mistakes over the years. This one actually comes with an adapter, so you could put it in as an SD card into your computer, which is really helpful. We really like those. They get bent over time if you keep them in the pocket, but anyway, this is the microSD card I go for, and if I can zoom in, it might be easier if I just show you the features on the back.
The two things that I look for when browsing on Amazon or buying them online is that they are Class 10. So, you need to see the words "Class 10" on there. And I can't see it on the back here, but I saw it on the product listing. Reassuringly, 4K UHD. It needs a fast speed to cope with 4K footage. So, for video, if you need a microSD card for a camera like the DJI Pocket 3, Class 10 is your friend. Let's open it up, and I'll show you how to fit a memory card. I used to call them memory sticks. Long time ago we had memory sticks, you remember those? And I've gone for SanDisk. I don't buy by price, but I've had lots of SanDisk, SanDisk Extreme. Hope I don't cut the card. Ooh, jeopardy! The other thing I look for apart from Class 10 is U3. There's that weird U logo with a number 3 in. They can come as U1. Those are the ones I think that don't work for me. So, I look for Class 10 U3. And the other feature that I look for, although I don't know the difference—tell me in the comments, educate me, he says as he cuts the card to pieces—it's like cutting a credit card, which I need to do after buying all this stuff, is A1 or A2 performance. I've gone for an A2 on this one. This is so well packaged. I'll leave a link to this in the description.
But there's the card, and now we'll put it into the Pocket 3. So, let's see which way 'round this works. It's not that way 'round. We've got the pins facing towards us. See if it's that way 'round. No. Oh, yeah, yeah, it is. That's the way in. And then we can click it in, and it kind of pops. It's got a kind of spring-loaded action. So, if I use my fingernail just to push it in once, and it pops out. So, that's how to remove the memory card from a DJI Pocket 3. And to put it in, put it with the back facing you if you're looking at the touchscreen, and we're just going to push it in with our fingernail, and push it again. It bounces out. It's like a trigger spring mechanism. So, you just push it in lightly, and then when you get to this stage, you need to push it again 'til it engages, it clicks, and then it will hold into place. And now, you can see the SD card logo top left-hand side, and it shows that I have 6 hours, 1 minute on my 4K at 24 frames. I've gone for a 256GB microSD card. You can obviously get them in different sizes at different prices, but that is how I fit a memory card into my DJI Pocket 3. I hope this video has helped.

Feeling nervous about applying a screen protector to your new DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera?
I'm sharing how I install a tempered glass screen cover on my Pocket 3's display. Follow along with the entire process, from preparing the screen with cleaning wipes to the final, delicate placement of the protector. See if I can avoid bubbles and achieve perfect alignment - I also show if this Ulbter screen protector impacts the touchscreen sensitivity.... My DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera monitor is now protected!
THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!
Hello, I'm Neil. Welcome back to the channel. I always get a bit scared of doing one of these, but I'm going to fit a protective screen tempered glass cover to my Osmo Pocket 3, my DJI Pocket 3. And I've got this pack of tempered glass protective screens on Amazon. This particular brand is Ulbter. I'll leave a link down in the description. There you go, ULBTER. My biggest fear is I'm going to mess it up, or not align it properly, or that I'll have big bubbles on here. So, I'm just going to do it so you can follow along.
I'm not going to fit a protector to the lens, which I did do with my Pocket 1. There's actually protective glass on there, and the wide-angled attachments and filters still seem to stick, not as best as they probably could do if there weren't a tempered glass protector on there. But all of the products on Amazon say do not put a protector on if you want to put the wide-angled lens on or any of those ND filters.
So, it looks really small. It looks smaller than the screen, but it's deceptive; it's exactly the correct size. I need a cloth. Is there a cloth in here? There isn't. They have these wipes that you seem to get in every brand of protective screen. Put the wet one on. I only unboxed this; I only bought it new this evening, so it hasn't had a chance to get filth on there. This is probably overkill. I might need two of these dry wipes because I really haven't used this at all. I thought there'd be a microfiber cloth in here. There doesn't appear to be. You do get lots of spare screens, though, so that's good.
So, I'll dry this. I need to really be super careful with not having any fibres but also not leaving any moisture on here. And I do this in one of two ways. So, I either wing it and just hope to drop the glass into the right position. I might... I might do that. Should I do that? I think I might do that this time. The other way is to attach it with these guide stickers. I think we are good to go. So, I'm going to say, it tells you where the back is. This is the sticky side. So, I'm going to take this film off, and I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm going to actually just make it up. And you get to do this once. Yeah, this might not be a good idea.
And the adhesive has just gone for it. I think I've done it! So, the other way is you put the stickers on, and the stickers hold it in place, and you peel the back off, and then when you drop it in, the stickers guide it into the correct place. But it was so much easier. Now, it takes a while for the thin layer of adhesive under the screen to spread. There's like a tiny, less than a millimeter gap there, and no gap at the top. That is... that is protected now. I might just have that until the next time I crack the screen. So, that's a protective screen on the DJI Pocket 3.
And just to show you that the screen sensitivity isn't changed, I'm going for a light touch, and it seems to be working. The sensitivity seems to be pretty much the same. Hey, there you go!
Keyboard Cleaning: Handheld Vacuum vs. Compressed Air Duster (JML Go Vac & Whatook reviews)
These Blowers Changed How I Clean My Keyboard!
Are your keyboards absolutely filthy? I'm unboxing and reviewing two popular gadgets that might clean them: the JML Go Vac 3-in-1 handheld vacuum and the Whatook Compressed Air Duster. Putting them to the test on my disgusting PC and MacBook Pro keyboards, comparing which is more effective. The Go Vac sucks up the dirt for a tidy cleanup, while the Whatook blows it away with serious power. I show how much grime is hidden beneath the keys and find out which of these tools is the best solution for a clean work battlestation!
THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!
I don't know about you, but my keyboards are absolutely filthy disgusting. This is my PC keyboard. Look at it. Absolutely disgusting. And my MacBook Pro that I've had for 3 years. I... I know. I can tell just from the key action that there must be all kinds of grime and dust and dirt underneath those uh lovely Silicon Valley designed Apple keys there. So, what's the best way to clean them? I did try one of those um aerosol cans with the straw on the end and the problem with that is that it does actually drip out some liquid which is the whole point of the thing that you want to avoid. It just seems pointless. So I bought... impulsively I bought this JML Govac 3-in-1 vac blower and inflator uh in the supermarket. This was straight off the supermarket shelf. And on Amazon, I bought this Whatook? Whatook... Whatook compressed air duster. And I think they're slightly different. They're priced pretty much exactly the same at the moment, but the Go Vac is is what it says it is. So, it's a vacuum, a small uh cordless handheld vacuum. So, it can suck and blow. So, it's a vac blower and inflator. And the... the other one, the Whatook compressed air duster, just blows. It just blows. And I've got my teenage son giggling away behind the camera there at me saying that it blows and sucks as it goes. But which... which one's the best? What am I going to use? Let's dive into my filthy keyboards and we will unbox these blowers and suckers and see which one works. I'm going to unbox the compressed air duster, the blower first. because my son wants it and he wants it right now. So, uh, if you come... come over, you can get a bit of closeup. I don't know if you can see that on... on my camera, too. It comes wrapped up in a bag and it comes with all these attachments. Although, weirdly, so my son got one of these before and it didn't have any attachments in, did it? Uh, it looked like it should have. It came with one. This one comes with the... the main unit itself, obviously, and it Oh, that's protectively taped up. So, this is your main blower. Wow, this looks great. Oh, you hold it for 3 seconds to start. Here we go. See if there's any charge in it. [Music]
So, it looks like there are three power settings. You just click the trigger button. Got a nice bag to keep all the bits in. That's going to be so crucial with this actually. And then we have different nozzles that clip on. So, that just squeezes on. And does that go on? No. So obviously I'm doing this for the first time itself. Oh, right. So they clip inside the the orange thing here. So if you put... there's like a brush attachment. And then we have this... is for blowing sideways. What's that for? There's a long reach nozzle. I want to use this one on my MacBook, I think. So I'm just going to use this. This nozzle. Is that the Yeah, this is like the most narrow nozzle. Here we go. Go close. Be able to see it. Oh, I don't think you see that. Can you see how much it also has an LED light that shines?
That's good. But the real test is for the keys, the keyboard. Should we have a go? I think I'll use the brush attachment for this. This is the one we bought before, which is smaller. I thought this was the same. What's great about this one, though, is you think it's more powerful. is way more powerful. Should I turn it on? Hold it down and it's got a light there and there's like a trigger there and then it's got three modes. Yeah, like that. Yeah. Or if you just hold it down. Yeah. Okay. Wow. It's blowing the stuff off the... But the downside with it was it doesn't have any attachments. No attachments. Well, it had one. It was just that and it fell off. And look, the plastic is cracking as well. So these and you haven't done an Oops. Sorry. Didn't mean to do that. You owe me a new one. You broke it. Here you go. So I'm going to now brush the keys. Are you able to go? Just hold it down. Right. Go close on the keys. Here we Oh, it blew the thing off. There you go.
Oh, wow. I don't know if you can hear me over the noise, but um we're in bright sunlight, so you probably can't see the amount of dust that's coming out. Oh, can you see the debris coming out? Oh, yeah. This has never been cleaned like this. Oh, your escape key works better now, does it? Yeah. Look, it doesn't it doesn't stick down anymore. Oh my god, that's fine. That one actually works now. That used to just get stuck. Oh, it does a little bit. Oh, so okay. So, we've already improved the keyboard. So, this is great, but uh you can't see what power setting you have. Uh you just have to sort of guess from the sound, and there's a dog hair under my space key here that I just can't get to, but it seems really powerful. So, all in all, I'm impressed with I've blown the box away. All in all, I'm impressed with this blaster. You can actually charge it from USB-C, which is really helpful. I I wish there'd be a display and the nozzle seems to fall off really easily, but just for a handheld blower, it's going to be really helpful around the house. We're going to use this a lot, I think. Let's move to the next uh the next product. This is a JML product, which is quite famous here in the UK. In the box, we get this looks so similar. So, we have an on/off switch here, and it's a definite push button on off USB-C charging. We also get a filter and a dust bin that sits inside the dust collector. And it looks like this filter is washable as well, which is really handy. I guess that just clips onto here. And finally, the nozzle attachments. I hope a crevice nozzle. There's a brush attachment that goes on. I don't know what these are. Oh, right. So, these are for the other end. So, this is a wide inflator nozzle. So, you can use it as a blower. Oh, yeah. Right. Okay. So, while it sucks at this end, it actually blows out that end. And you can actually put that on and use it to inflate an inflatable bed or something that needs blowing up. This is a narrow blower inflator nozzle. So, let's dive in. And it's a little bit unfair of me to be testing both of these straight out of the box because they're not fully charged. I should probably fully charge them. But I just uh just too excited. I just wanted to get in here and clean this absolutely disgusting keyboard. There is all sorts of debris underneath. And what's great with both of these is that it'll be... it'll be really helpful for pushing out anything loose like grains of rice or any big bits of dirt that would actually affect the key action. What's really working well with this particular vacuum, rather than blowing it all out, I'm able to actually dislodge all of the filth on the side of the keys with the brush attachment. And that's actually uh lifting off even more dirt than the... the free and loose dirt that's underneath the keys. So easy to run it in between the letters and numbers. And just look at the chunks of fills coming out from underneath the space bar. I didn't realize there was quite that much. Quite a lot of dog hair. It has to be said. It's good that it's sort of dislodging all of that caked on dust that's on the sides of the keys. Just makes the thing look nicer as well as run more efficiently. Looking at the box on... on this, it's good for cereal upholstery, coffee. This would work really well in a car, I think, as well. Just getting into all of those nooks and cran crannies. This is the real test, though. Let's see how much filth is in the dust bin. So, I'll take off the nozzle and I think I can pull the filter out with my finger. Wow, look at all that. That's just from a few minutes with no charge as well, just with the charge that the vacuum came in the box. That has brought out so much stuff from underneath the keys. And that might be really good to run on my... on my laptop as well. I might run this over. So, obviously there are two different ways of doing this now. You either blow it out and it goes everywhere. Or you could do the tidier version of using a vacuum to suck it out and then you can actually see how much stuff comes... comes off. Is this helping? Are these things that you need in your life? Let me know down in the comments below. And I'll leave links to something that's close to these two. Either a handheld vacuum or just a compressed air blower.

Should we go to the park? Let's go to the park at 50K. No, at 4K 50 frames per second. Do you want to go to the park? Should we go to the park? Yeah. Should we go to the park? Come on then. This video is only meant to be a first. Oh, Casper. I just I thought I'd uh come and take the uh the camera out with me for a walk with Casper and I'll do lots of talking so you get to see lots of DJI Osmo Nano footage. I better clean this up first. This is 4K 50 frames per second. The stabilization is on rock steady. So there is some stabilization here. And the field of view is set to wide. So this is the wide option. And uh I'll just do a little bit more talking just so you can get a sense of uh what this footage uh looks like and sounds like. Oh, by the way, I've got my DJI Mic 2 attached as well. I'll I'll give you some footage with no wireless microphone so you can see how the or hear how the camera sounds. This is 4K 50 frames pers and ultra wide. So you should notice that you can see more of the park behind me, but if I point it towards Casper, he's he's run ahead, but he should be just a dot on the screen here. And um the stabilization is still rock steady. And I'll just do a bit more talking just so you can get a sense of uh how this looks. I will be quite upset, I think, if this camera is deliberately putting my face in the center of the screen. I I just wouldn't frame things like that. And when I bend the camera down, it just seems to keep moving my head towards the middle of the frame. Not sure I like that if it's happening. This is ultra wide with horizon balancing. So, this has the horizon balancing. So, if I move the camera, it just I'm tilting it up. I'm rocking it. Um, but you won't be able to see that, I think, because it balances the horizon. So, however I move the camera, I still should be steady. Also, I don't know how my eye line looks because because I've got the monitor on. Obviously, I'm just looking at that all the time. And that means I break eyeline from you, which is the lens, down to there. So, it means I I keep looking down there. Uh be interesting to see in the edit if that looks really weird. I'm trying to force my eye line onto the lens. Anyway, let's change again...
How do you transfer, copy or move DJI Osmo Nano camera video footage files from the DJI Nano to a Macbook laptop? I walk through where the DJI Nano video files are and how to transfer them to my Macbook drive.
THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!
I am transferring footage for the first time from the DJI Osmo Nano. I've got the cable that it came with that goes into here. You lift up this flap and I'll plug that into the USB-C port. And then I'll plug the other end into my MacBook Pro. And then I'll switch the camera on, allow accessory to connect, and that brings up this menu. So, the three options here are file transfer, internal storage, file transfer, SD card, or charging only. I'm going to choose internal storage because I haven't actually transferred anything over. Now, I'll open up Finder. And on locations, it says Osmo Nano. So, I'll click on this, double click on it, and you can see there are three folders here. DCIM, lost and found, and MISC. I'm going to open DCIM. and it says DJI 001. And here you can see lots of files. So, I'm going to run this as a list, but you can probably see that there are JPEGs there. That's where I took a a photo by accident. And I also have MP4s. So, if I view this as a list, you can see that every MP4 also has an LRF file. I think that's just for thumbnails. We don't need those. We just need the MP4 files. And one way to sort these is to go to kind on here. If I sort and I click on kind, it will sort it by the types of file. And all the MP4s are neatly there together. I'll open up another finder window and I'll open up the window that I want to transfer to. So, this is the folder that I want to transfer to. And all I do is select all the MP4s that I want here and then drag them over to the folder that I need them in. So, that is how to transfer footage from a DJI Osmo Nano onto a MacBook Pro into a storage device or hard drive on your MacBook. I hope this video is helping. If so, have a look at my other DJI Osmo Nano videos. Thank you for hitting the thumbs up or the subscribe button and say hi in the comments. It' be lovely to hear from you. Good luck with your DJI Osmo Nano
Is the DJI Osmo Nano the best camera for your YouTube videos?
I'm unboxing and first impressions reviewing this camera, so you can see exactly what it's like straight out of the box.
What's it like in a real-world setting? What are the accessories in the standard combo?
I share my honest first impressions: including a couple of things that surprisingly frustrated me.
Also showing how to set up the camera, how to pair it with the DJI Mimo app and my DJI Mic 2, and what the footage looks like from a walk in the park with my dog Casper (Spoiler: I try the camera on his dog harness...). There's also comparison sample footage of the DJI Osmo Nano VS. DJI Pocket 3. Plus, as I paid for this myself and I'M NOT SPONSORED, this is an honest review.
THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!
This is the DJI Osmo Nano camera. Is this the best camera for you to make videos on YouTube? I am opening up this camera on camera in real time so you can see what it's like straight out of the box and I'll also set up the camera in real time so you can follow along. You can avoid any of the mistakes I make along the way. We'll have a look at the accessories that come in the box. And I'll even take you on a walk with me and Casper in the park just to show you some different settings just so you can see what the footage looks like straight out of the camera. I'll also be pairing this with the DJI Mimo app, which is a faff and a kerfuffle. And I'll also be pairing it with this the DJI Mic 2 that I got from my Pocket 3 camera. We'll be pairing this to see how easy that process is and also see how the camera sounds with the internal microphone as well as wireless DJI microphone. By the way, I paid for this camera with my own money. I'm not sponsored by DJI, unlike many, many other videos out there. This is an honest first impressions review. I got this DJI Nano here in the UK from John Lewis, uh my favourite store. I'll break into this box as quickly as possible, but just give you a quick tour of the box so you can pause and uh read the writing on the packaging. It's really small. The box is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. It's about 3/4 of the height of my hand. I bought the standard combo bundle standard in French. And I've got the 128 GB version of the DJI Osmo Nano. Did I mention by the way that I paid for this with my own money? And in the wrapping in the packaging, it's it comes magnetized already. That's nice, isn't it? Holds it together. Let's open it up. Ah, the camera itself. Uh, so here it says, "Contacts and slots may become hot during use. Avoid prolonged contact." Yeah. Don't burn your fingers is what it's saying. And then on the lens here, it says, "Tighten the lens protective cover before taking in water." So, it's just a reminder here. Oh, that uh you should make sure that this is screwed on tightly before you go dunking it in the bath. Let's take this off to reveal the contacts and the two grips for the monitor. They don't call it a monitor. What do they call it? This is the multi-function vision dock. And just give you an idea of the size in my hand. On the top here, it says, "Do not use the multifunctional vision dock underwater." Uh, okay. So you can splash it when it's attached to the camera. And oh, that's lovely. And I did try to buy protective screens for this camera. They're not quite out yet cuz I've got this the day after release. I'll just give you a tour of the multi-function vision dock. What wasn't clear on many videos was how how these grippers work. They are metal from the from the feel of it. And obviously if you push the buttons either side, that's what releases the camera. And there are these pins and like a gripper. It's like a rubberized gripper either side of it to help hold it in place. So if I bring it onto the camera for the first time, what happens? You can just push it down. You don't need to press the buttons to fix the camera to the multi- vision multifunctional vision dock. Excuse me. And saw a little glimmer of power. Should we power it up? I'll just give you a quick spin. The camera does remind me of the latest Well, it's not the latest, the mic, too. Uh, should I take it off? Just compare it with a microphone, a DJI. Well, you can't hear me now. I'll point it towards me. A DJI microphone. And forgive me, I'm sitting at a really weird angle, which is really tripping off my benign essential tremor. And it comes with uh some power in here already. If I touch the screen, it actually comes out of the box with 55% battery in the multifunctional vision dock and 75% in the camera. Then there's another box of bits. Let's empty it out. Ooh, it's a quick start guide. This is a magnetic lanyard and the camera, I guess, sticks to it like this. Now, if you had a DJI Action 2, I will be comparing it in many of my videos because I love this thing. The lanyard for this was a lot smaller. I'll just compare it. Again, only if you if you've had this before. And you don't have the part that falls off and you got to call DJI to buy another one. I love the fact that this is just a single lanyard. And there's some warnings on it. And you can also put the the hats clip on it as well. Talking of which, it's tucked into the case here. This is the magnetic hat clip. Now, I've been looking at this on videos online trying to work out how it works and how grippy it is. I was kind of hoping there'd be like a super powerful hinge, but it just looks like a clip. It's just folded round uh plastic material by the feel of it. And I was hoping this would be like more like a bulldog grip or hinge, but it isn't. It just kind of slides on. So, I wanted to attach this to my dog's harness just to see if we can get a dog cam shot. I'll see if I can do that by the end of the video. The mount swivels on the hat clip clip. It kind of pivots forward and backwards. And it kind of implies on the lanyard that you can put the clip on like this and use this as a tilt to get a more precise angle, which would be really handy for my bike rides. If you just put it straight onto the lanyard, it just points forward. So, if you attach the the clip, it can not only get a more fine angle, but you can also remove it and clip it to something else. Ah! Oh my goodness. Do you see that? Look, I've injured myself. Whoa. That is powerful. There's no warning sticker for that. Ow. Quick, let's open some more stuff while I can while I still have the ability. This is very kind of DJI. They have learned the lessons of the DJI Action 2 where I had to send these out after release. So, this is a protective cover. It does just push in and you can see there's some pins inside. Uh, so if I push this in like that, goes in very easily. That is a really welcome because I do drop these things a lot. And then the multi-functional vision dock can clip to it just as easily as it clips to the camera. Really, really nice touch there. So good not having to have to go buying things from third party suppliers quite yet. So that's good. Then there is the dual direction magnetic ball joint adapter mount. It is the longest title for a a mount. Dual direction magnetic ball joint adapter mount. Oh, this is great because the Action 2 came with this but without the suction cup. Look. Oh, you can. Again, no reviewers mentioned this. Uh, the suction cup can come off. So, you can put this onto any kind of normal tripod thread. That is fantastic. So, I put that on a a normal tripod or any accessory that that has that like a magic arm. This means that I can put this onto my favourite hand grip. Or crucially, you could have a buoyant hand grip. So, if you did drop it, Whoa. If you did drop it into the sea, it would uh float. Oh, that that is really helpful. I didn't realize the ball cup came off. And what's great about these grips, I've not gone into DJI action cameras, so you're probably used to these if you have, but I love how it doesn't come off unless you click the buttons. But really satisfyingly, all you have to do is just push it on and it clips really easily. So that's a really lovely, lovely touch there. That just screws in there. And maybe I could use this with some other accessories as well. Oh, I love that. Really great stuff. Finally, there's a beautiful USB C to USB-C cable. It looks like 50 cm. Now, I... I know what you want. I know that you want me to switch this thing on. So, we'll do it. I promise we'll do it. So, let's go back down. I'll clip the multi-functional vision dock to the camera. And you can turn it on, apparently, by pressing this button or this button. So, shall I press this button? See what happens. Oo. language, English, just trees. Now, some people have an issue with this, and this is a really big thing for this camera. It happened with the Pocket 3, too. Happened with my Action 2. To make the camera work, you need to pair it to the DJI Mimo app, and I'm going to do that on camera with you. DJI only allow you to skip doing that five times. So, you can only power up the camera five times without connecting it to the DJI Mimo app where it'll update the firmware. It does all lots of good things, but some people quite rightly feel uh aggrieved. They feel it's not good that you need to be data mined in order to use a camera that you've bought. On the other side, it just means that it is kept up to date all the time. And I... I found it difficult. It says on Amazon for the Pocket 3, it said lots and lots were returned. And you can see in the comments, it was for that very reason that you have to pair it with the DJI app. I went through that process with my Action 2. So, I've kind of got over myself with it. But I can completely appreciate that this might be an obstacle, a hurdle as to whether or not you want to buy this thing. Now, it's giving me a quick start guide. Covers open cover at bottom of multifunctional vision dock. So, that is this thing here. It just pulls up. You You literally there's no button or anything. You just force it up to break the clip seal. And you can see there's a gasket. There's like a rubber ring here. And that keeps this area splashproof. And uh inside there's a space for a micro SD card slot and the USBC charging port and data port. So I'll just click that back on. Tap to check battery level. You can tap that little battery icon there. On the video settings, we can tap to set stabilization mode and field of view. So, if I click on that, got from wide to dewarp. I really like the dewarp. Uh, it's sort of I think it stops that sort of fisheye kind of look. And then with the stabilization, you can have rock steady, you can have it off, you can have rock steady, which stabilizes the footage, and then horizon balancing, which is great because you can kind of move it around like this, and it'll always keep the horizon steady. And I do that when I'm wearing it or when I'm holding it and I'm kind of winging my hand around. So, if I turn it off, oh, it says swipe down. I'm recording at the moment, but it says here, swipe down to set length of time before screen turns off. Now, that'll be in the settings, but that's great that you can do it straight from the front screen. Hello. This is the first video, by the way, on my DJI Nano. I set the screen to turn off after a few seconds if I'm wearing it because then I don't have people staring at me with this big big monitor. So, I just use the monitor for long enough to frame it and then I just carry on recording and the screen goes off. But anyway, wow, I am really pleased with this. Uh, it's so easy to hold. Let's bring this camera up. So, it's a a bug bear with vlogging cameras. Let's move this camera back. It's a bit of a bug bear that cameras claim to be vlogging cameras. And for me, a vlogging camera is something you can hold at this distance, just comfortably with your arm, not stretched out, and for all of your face and your surroundings to be in the in the picture. What is strange is that I'm holding it at arms length and my head is in the middle of the frame, which I don't really like. Yeah, it is. Do you know what? This is really odd. I don't know if this is some kind of AI setting in the camera, but I'm holding it and it's my head is in the middle. It's censoring my head and I have to really turn it down. I don't like that. That is really irritating. However I position the camera, it's centering my face in the middle of the screen and I want it in the top third. That is really strange. However much I move this camera, it centers my face in the middle. I wonder if that's a setting I can turn off. So, this is the horizon balancing. If I turn it left and right like this, it keeps the I'm really turning the camera a lot each way and it's keeping it's keeping the image stable. And I wonder if it's that that's making my face appear in the middle of the screen. I'm trying to tilt down. Right. So, that's that's how I want it to be framed. And it's still it's moving my face to the middle. Let's turn horizon balancing off. Well, that's tuneful, isn't it? Now, I have 1080p, 25 frames per second. And this is rock steady. And again, this is this is a real shock for me that the camera keeps centering a face in the middle of the screen. Now, some people don't mind that. They seem to think that's a great feature of the Pocket 3. I think it looks appalling and I want my face higher, but do as much as I can like that. It's I have to hold the camera at a really strange angle. No, it's it's it's AIing my face to be in the middle of the in the middle of the screen. And that is that is not good. That is really not good. Let's turn stabilization off. Maybe that could be the answer to this. So, this is with stabilization turned off. And let's have a look. Yeah, I can. No, it's it's still putting Look, it's Casper. It still seems to be putting my face in the middle of the screen. Leave me a comment if you're having this situation with your DJI Osmo Nano. What's going on? What is it? Do you not like the centering of the faces in the middle of the screen? I've worked in TV for over three decades. And one of the first things you learn in TV, and maybe I don't know, maybe vlogging is is seen differently. One of the things that makes a an image comfortable to watch is that the the head is like this, not like that. And this is a bit of a shocker actually for me. This was just meant to be a simple unboxing, but I might as well go off on one now. There are two features why I wanted to buy this that are absolutely fantastic for me. Mind-blowing that we have this technology. The monitor, the multi-functional vision dock is completely, so I'm doing this in bright sunshine, is completely detached from the camera, and yet I can uh look at what the camera is seeing straight from the vision dock, the the monitor, which is absolutely incredible. I'm going to use this a lot, I think, because having to get out your phone and fire up the DJI Mimo app to check your framing if you're wearing this thing. I could just slip this monitor into my pocket. To me, this is absolutely mind-blowing sci-fi. So, I'm really grateful. This is where things get fiddly. So, I'm going to start up my DJI Mimo app, and I'm going to show you how I'm pairing it so that you can you might learn from my mistakes. So, I'm going to turn on the camera. Oh, I've got low battery in the vision dock. I might need to connect a cable. Right. So, it says Osmo Nano already disconnected. Power on camera and place close to multi-functional vision dock. Where's the camera? What have I done with the camera? And I'll hit connect. And then it goes through the the opening menu again. So, we'll choose English. Whoa. And as if by magic, it Oh, it it found the camera. I just hit the camera icon at the bottom there and I didn't even have to use the QR code. It just found the camera. So, if I hit connect, that's incredible. Check verification code on DJI device. Well, that looks similar. So, I'll hit accept on the camera. Then we have the terms and conditions where, you know, we hand over everything everywhere for all time ever. Agree. Activate Osmo Nano. Activate your Osmo device when you connect it for the first time to receive warranty. So, I choose allow access, then hit next. I don't want to show you my email address, but I've hit the activate button. DJI Care. Don't want that. I'll skip that. Which is quite a bold move given how many DJI cameras I've broken. Uh, questionnaire. Don't want to do that. Activation successful. Fantastic. So, I hit get started. Enjoy live view in DJI Mimo. Is it Mimo or MIMO? I ask that in every video I make. Manage files with efficiency. And there's uh tutorials for advanced skills and update firmware regularly. So now we are downloading firmware. I'll speed this up now to download to 50%. We can choose to install. I I'll uncheck this box cuz I can do it off the uh off the mobile. Says device not connected. So, I'll hit connect. Now I can continue installing the firmware. Update. Success. That's good. So, I'll hit done. And now it reconnects to the camera. You can see on the screen here it says updated. There we go. So, it can see the the files on the phone. They have a date of 1980. I'll click back to live view on the camera and I'll click the camera button here. And just like the multifunctional vision dock, I can I can see myself on the on the phone. So I can record using the Mimo app. Now we have updated the camera. Let's see if I can attach my DJI Mic 2 to this. The first time I'm doing this, so learn from my mistakes. We'll swipe down from the top and then I'll choose the mic option in settings. And then I'll select TX1 transmitter 1. And it says power on Osmo and audio and pair. So I'll turn this on. Let's hold down this button again for three seconds to see if I can get it to flash blue. It's flashing blue. So now I'll hold down the link button for 3 seconds and then I'll let go. And it's connected. So I had I had a bit of trouble linking that. I think you just got to do it again and again until it links. I'll hit confirm. So now if I speak into this, you can see it's peeking red. But now I have the mic 2 connected. So if I put the the windshield on and if I start recording on the Osmo 2, I am now speaking to you. Let's pull out this power lead. I'm now speaking to you on this the DJI Mic 2. It looks like I'm well in the red there. Should we go to the park? Let's go to the park at 50K. No, at 4K 50 frames per second. Do you want to go to the park? Should we go to the park? Yeah. Should we go to the park? Come on then. This video is only meant to be a first. Oh, Casper. Just I thought I'd uh come and take the camera out with me for a walk with Casper and I'll do lots of talking so you get to see lots of DJI Osmo Nano footage. I better clean this up first. This is 4K 50 frames pers. The stabilization is on rock steady. So there is some stabilization here. And the field of view is set to wide. So this is the wide option. And uh I'll just do a little bit more talking just so you can get a sense of uh what this footage uh looks like and sounds like. Oh, by the way, I've got my DJI Mic 2 attached as well. I'll I'll give you some footage with no wireless microphone so you can see how the or hear how the camera sounds. This is 4K 50 frames pers and ultra wide. So you should notice that you can see more of the park behind me, but if I point it towards Casper, he's he's run ahead, but he should be just a dot on the screen here. And um the stabilization is still rock steady. And I'll just do a bit more talking just so you can get a sense of uh how this looks. I will be quite upset, I think, if this camera is deliberately putting my face in the center of the screen. I... I just wouldn't frame things like that. And when I bend the camera down, it just seems to keep moving my head towards the middle of the frame. Not sure I like that if it's happening. This is ultra wide with horizon balancing. So, this has the horizon balancing. So, if I move the camera, it just I'm tilting it up. I'm rocking it. Um, but you won't be able to see that, I think, because it balances the horizon. So, however I move the camera, I still should be steady. Also, I don't know how my eye line looks because because I've got the monitor on. Obviously, I'm just looking at that all the time. And that means I break eye line from you, which is the lens down to there. So, it means I keep looking down there. Uh be interesting to see in the edit if that looks really weird. I'm trying to force my ey line onto the lens. Anyway, let's change again. We've come out of uh 4K and I've put it on the settings that I I prefer for all my videos. That's 1080p at 25 frames pers and I still have the horizon balancing on. So, and I'm out of breath. All All I'm doing is walking in a park and I sound like I've done a marathon. Uh things I do for this channel, I it's worth it. Exercise every morning. And so I don't know how how this is looking and sounding for you, but this would be pretty much my settings for most of the time. I think I like the horizon balancing because it does mean I can carry it around in my hand and not get the shaky shaky hands look. I've got an experiment that I want to do. Is this this could work, it might not work. I've brought out the the hat clip and I just wonder if Casper might play along with this. Come here. Come here, Casper. Come here. What I'm going to do, I'm going to clip. Good boy. I'm going to clip the hat clip onto his harness. I really do not want this to fall off, but that feels like a a good grip. Oh, no. Good boy. Good boy. And then I'm going to move the camera and I'm going to clip the camera onto onto his harness. Oh, hang on. Good boy. Okay, I really don't know if this this is going to work, but I've sent Gasper off. He's gone over there. I can see on the monitor there's something that's really irritating me already. I hope this gets changed in a firmware update or it's a menu setting I've not found yet. It's supposed to be a feature that when the camera tilts up, when you when you hold the camera portrait orientation, it records portrait orientation. And I I don't want that. I just want it to be landscape even if it's flipped to its side. And the action two let me do that. So horizon balancing works all the way around. Um so if you hold the camera like this for sort of demonstrate it would always it would always keep the the horizon but because Casper is moving around and the camera is moving up and down uh it's flipping into portrait mode and I don't know how that footage is going to look in the edit. Maybe it's just a display thing. I'm hoping that it's recorded all of this footage in landscape orientation. Now, I'm recording the footage you're seeing now on my DJI Pocket 3 camera, which I adore. I absolutely love the footage that comes from this, and maybe this is a good comparison for you. But the problem with it is that is so delicate. I've honestly I've had really bad uh moments of terror with my Pocket 3 and my Pocket One as well. I put this camera on the wall and it just fell off. It's Oh, no. The magnetism wasn't uh strong enough to hold it to the metal thing in the wall. It is so nice having a camera that I can just hold at this kind of distance. It doesn't have to be like that like my Sony ZV1. I can hold it like this and it it just feels really comfortable. It's so light. Um, if you want a hand grip, I'll put a link in the description. It feels so good. And it also feels good that I could just drop this. I I could hurl it into the grass and I know it'll be okay. I've got one other immediate first impression. It's a bit of a niggle. Let's turn the camera around. And it might just be the the suction cup holder, but this magnetic holder here with the multi-function view thing. I've forgotten what it's called now. Look, look at the wobble on it. It really wobbles.
Uh I don't know if it's because of the weight of the stack, but if I put the camera straight onto this, it's it's pretty rock steady to use DJ eyes term, but this this is big. wobble wobble wobble that obviously you probably won't even see it on screen because of the stabilization but it's a little bit a little bit irritating if if I'm going to be really finikity and maybe should I give you a little comparison just quick comparison I'm going to make a whole video about this comparing the DJI Osmo Nano with the DJI Pocket 3 but just for the fun of it let's just give you a quick comparison So, I'm holding the two cameras side by side. I'll just give you a pan. Let's see if we can catch up with Casper. I'm holding the cameras in a really strange way. Just hold side by side just to give you as close a comparison as possible. So, this is the DJI Osmo Nano and this is the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Does it have the word Osmo in it? I don't know. the DJI Pocket 3. I'll just cut between them again. So, this is DJI Nano and let's run up to Casper. Casper, come here. Come. Good boy. Come. And this is the Pocket 3 just to give you a comparison. I'm sure there are settings in here that might be uh affecting things, but just as kind of a first glance cutting between the two, it'll just give you an idea of uh what the differences might be straight out of the box for the DJI Nano. Let's do some movement. Casper's not playing ball. Come here, Casper. Casper, good boy, Casper. Right, let's go. Go in.
Good boy. I'm now going to wear the DJI Osmo Nano hidden under here. I'm wearing the lanyard. And if I turn it round, it should just snap on without grabbing too many chest hairs. There we go. So, this is me walking around on Dwarp and horizon balancing stabilization. It's so steady. I'm like a human tripod. And this is how it looks to wear. It's a bit difficult to gauge from the different videos online of how big this looks. Does it look like a brooch? Uh, I'll let you be the the judge of that. This is how it looks to wear. And if I cut back to the camera, I mean, it's quite a boring. It's quite a boring shot, isn't it? Because it's so steady. And this is where the hat clip comes in. I've got the hat clip that's fresh from where Casper was wearing it. If I take off the camera, it's a really strong magnet. And then put on the hat clip and then clip the nano to the hat clip, I can now have some control over the tilting. So, if I cut back to the Nano, I've got a bit less sky now. So, that is a much better shot. I mean, obviously on my chest, the camera is protruding somewhat and it's wobbling as well because, you know, the the weight of it is now away from the lanyard and it's kind of pulling on my shirt. So, it is wobbling around. It's not very discreet at all. But if I cut back to the Nano's point of view, you can see that it's a much better framed shot. And if I tilt it down even more, I can tilt it down on the hat clip. So I can really focus on the on the path here. You've got some degree of controlling the the frame while you're wearing it. But it does look really stupid. Look at it. It's just wobbling around. Not that you could tell that from the footage. If I cut back to the camera, it's so steady. That's the rock steady stabilization. Wow, this is much more footage than I thought I was going to take. This was supposed to be just uh opening the box, first impressions review. I've I've tried to show you some things on the camera. So, what do you think? Is this something that you might use for your YouTube channel? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. I just get these things out the box and start recording. So, I hope there's something in this video that you might find useful if you're deciding whether or not to get one of these. I've put all my DJI Osmo Nano videos into this playlist on screen now. And obviously, if you hit subscribe, you'll be able to see my updates. I'll I'll share how things go with this camera. Thank you for hitting the thumbs up button if you've made it to this point in the video and good luck with your DJI Osmo Nano.
