  Professional use, mainly as a 3rd-4th camera for b-roll. It does exactly what it is intended for and it does it well. You have a gimbal with a wide-angle lens in your pocket that frees your hands in several situations. It's not for action scenes, don't get confused and take it for GoPro use, it is sensitive and requires care when putting it in and taking it out of its case.

  A technological masterpiece! No comment here mentions the amazing Active Tracking, and many others!

  It is truly a small wonder!

  Excellent camera. Vivid colors and very good sharpness. There is no comparison with GoPro and Insta 360 type cameras, it's like day and night. The gimbal absorbs all the sudden movements and gives the shot a very nice smooth feel. The Active Track works very well. Due to the 1-inch sensor, it records very well even in low-light environments. The extension included in the package helps a lot with holding the camera, especially if someone has large hands. The battery lasts a long time and its charging is very fast. The lens is quite wide-angle, and the package includes an additional magnetic crystal to make it ultra-wide-angle, with the only downside being that it must be removed to turn off the camera because otherwise, the lens cannot turn inward. The Creator Combo package additionally includes a mini tripod, a microphone that can operate independently or in conjunction with the camera, which also has a magnet, and an extension for better grip, and finally, an extension that also serves as a battery that charges the camera body. All of this comes in a very nice case. It is definitely not intended for use as an Action Cam because it is very sensitive. I would suggest putting it back in its case after each use. I highly recommend it!

  Very good purchase for vlogging, excellent stable video & in focus.
  The only downside I can find is that it is quite sensitive as a camera and needs to be put in the case immediately after use...

  I find the handling of it very easy and the combination with the larger screen, physical button, and joystick make video recording even easier. For example, now you can move the camera up/down with the joystick and simultaneously zoom in/out through the screen, or vice versa.
  It can be connected to a mobile phone through the DJI Mimo app (scan the QR code that appears on the OP3 screen) for remote control without the need for any extra accessory (see Do-It-All Handle of OP2).
  I will come back after testing it.

  EDIT: I am raising the rating to 5 stars for the EPIC service of DJI (after this, I place it higher than GoPro) and I summarize:
  I had a condensation problem inside the lens and I sent it for repair.
  Instead of replacing the lens and sending it back to me or replacing it with refurbished, they replaced it with a brand new one (the standard version), sealed in its box, so now I have double the 4 components that the standard version contains (see below)!
  A big shout out to DHL as well, which made the Hungary - Greece delivery in 3 working days and delivered the package 1 day before the scheduled date!

  I bought the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo (OP3) two weeks ago to replace the excellent DJI Osmo Pocket 2 Creator Combo (OP2) for the night videos and walks that I upload on my channel (Traveller Chris Channel): https://www.youtube.com/@TravellerChris

  My impressions so far are as follows:

  Build/Dimensions/Battery:
  - In terms of build quality, it feels very premium and gives me the impression that it is a bit sturdier than the previous one, while it also has grooves on the back for even better grip.
  - In dimensions, it is thicker than the OP2, which will be more comfortable for those with larger hands.
  - The OP2 had a very good battery and I easily got 1 hour of use at 4K25, but the OP3 takes it a step further and I estimate it lasts comfortably 1.5 hours, while it now also has an extra battery that can be connected to the bottom to charge the camera while recording video.
  WARNING:
  - It is a gimbal with a camera at the end, not an action camera, and it does not withstand intense vibrations and is not waterproof, so it is not intended for use in extreme sports and in conditions of high humidity.
  - Also, if there is something that worries me, it is the rotating screen, but fortunately it can be activated without rotating the screen.

  Handling/Connectivity:
  - I find the handling very easy and the combination with the larger screen, physical button, and joystick makes video recording even easier. For example, you can now move the camera up/down with the joystick while simultaneously zooming via the screen, or vice versa.
  - It can connect to a mobile phone via the DJI Mimo app (scan the QR code that appears on the OP3 screen) for remote control without the need for any extra accessory (see Do-It-All Handle of the OP2).

  Video/Photos/Stabilization:
  - 1080, 2.7K, and up to 4K@60 from the Video option, up to 4K@120 from the Slow Motion option, capability for Timelapse, Motionlapse, Hyperlapse from video, and regular or panoramic photos.
  - In low-light video, the OP3 does an excellent job and cannot be compared to any of the handheld cameras from DJI, GoPro, and Insta360 (I will upload samples soon).
  - Its photos are very good, especially the panoramas, but with a 9MP sensor, it's not its strongest suit.
  - Stabilization is done via gimbal, meaning it's mechanical and not digital, so the videos always come out clear and without flicker and artifacts due to software glitches, especially in the evenings. This difference is even more noticeable in nighttime videos.

  Sound:
  The best I've ever heard, especially when connected to the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter, it will elevate interviews and vlogging to another level. The DJI Mic 2 Transmitter connects automatically to the OP3 as soon as it's turned on, but it also has an internal memory of 8GB and can be used as a separate microphone.

  Packaging accessories:
  - The basic version comes with a protective cap (which has magnetic contacts for 1 lens filter and 1 Wide Angle Lens and a slot for the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter), 1 extension with a 1/4" socket for a tripod, a hand strap, and a USB-C to USB-C cable.
  - The Creator Combo includes all of the above and also: a 2nd extension with a 1/4" socket for a tripod that is also a battery, a mini tripod (better than the OP2's, but less discreet), a carrying bag, a Wide Angle Lens, and of course, the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter along with a magnet and deadcat.

  Who it is intended for:
  vloggers, journalists, content creators, casual travelers, and generally anyone who wants high-quality video/stabilization/sound at a good price and does not expose the camera to hazardous conditions like strong vibrations, water, humidity, etc.

  Who it is not intended for:
  careless individuals and those passionate about extreme sports. Sorry guys, the little device is extremely sensitive, and you should go for a GoPro or DJI Osmo Action.

  Negatives:
  - It shuts down due to overheating, and this has nothing to do with build quality, but with the new EU legislation monstrosity that forces manufacturers to make cameras intended for the EU shut down earlier (at 48 degrees Celsius). Fortunately, I think I've found a solution that I'm currently testing and seems to work for the Osmo Action as well, so if you want to learn more, subscribe to my channel and I will upload the relevant video soon: https://www.youtube.com/@TravellerChris
  - The initial selling price is higher than that of the OP2 for both the basic package and the Creator Combo.
  - The battery is, once again, built into the camera, and DJI charges extra for the grip/battery.
  - It lost 1 star because in 2 out of my 5 tests, it gathered moisture inside the lens, resulting in blurry video and photos, and it shut down from "overheating" within 12 minutes inside the car while I had it in the cold air. At the time of writing these lines, the camera has gone for service at DJI in Europe (Hungary), hoping to have it back in my hands before Christmas so I can do a Christmas video stroll!

  Photo 1 and 2:
  Screenshot from a 4K@25 video in a fairly dark spot with automatic settings.
  Photo 3:
  Nighttime screenshot from a 4K@25 video in a very dark spot, with the camera in night mode with automatic settings.
  Photo 4:
  Snapshot from a 4K@25 video with automatic settings where the moisture on the lens is visible.

  Final impressions:
  For now, I am doing the final comparisons between OP2 and OP3 before I sell the OP2, and I have become so enamored with it that I consider it a worthy replacement for the OP2. It does everything better, and the larger size is truly welcome.
  I am thinking of uploading a presentation video on my channel (if I manage before DJI releases the next OP), so if you want, please subscribe to support me and leave a comment on one of my videos to expedite the creation of the review:
