(Here is the video showing the footages and testing the setup)

Hey everyone!

I decided to sell all my gear and streamline everything down to a DJI Osmo Pocket 4P paired with a DJI Mic 3 for audio. I took it out for a test walk in Santa Pola (a coastal town in Southern Spain) to see if going minimal was the right call.

The ND Filter Dilemma:

Since I recorded this mostly on Auto, the camera naturally cranked up the shutter speed to handle the intense Mediterranean sunlight. As a result, I lost that natural 180-degree shutter angle motion blur, leaving the footage looking a bit too "crisp" and digital.

I want to fix this with ND filters, but I'm on the fence:

1. Variable NDs: Super convenient for run-and-gun shooting, but I've always been skeptical about cross-polarization (the dreaded "X" pattern), color shifts, or lost sharpness—especially in direct, harsh sun. Are high-end VNDs reliable enough for pocket sensors nowadays?
2. Fixed NDs: If I go fixed, I know I'll get pristine image quality, but I'll need to swap them constantly. For those filming in high-sunlight locations, which density steps do you consider essential?
   • Is a set of ND8, ND32, and ND64 (or ND128) enough to cover everything from bright sunsets to midday beach light?

Would love to hear your thoughts on how you manage motion blur on run-and-gun setups in bright environments, and what you think of the test footage!

Hello, apologies if this count as an overdone post, haven't seen any that mention this in the last 2 months when searching and I'd appreciate recent info with all the firmware updates on the 4 and 4p I've been hearing about.

So! I'm a newbie. I'm really hoping to find the best value for money for purely videos. My phone (oppo find x9 pro) takes pics that I'm already very happy with! Videos, however, aren't great.

I'm a big "bang for the buck" guy. I've been seeing a lot of hype about the pocket 3 these last couple of years, but with the amount of firmware updates I'm seeing on the pocket 4, is the answer still the same? Is the pocket 3 still the best value for money or is the 100-150 extra worth it over the earlier model?

Thank you so much!

Hello dji community

I really want to get into color grading and have decided to start and learn Davinchi Resolve. I understand that Davinchi ISNT super beginner friendly, but I have decided to just learn as I go :)

I have an osmo pocket 4P and I was wondering if anyone on here had any advice // settings they use on their dji….or even YouTubers that you guys can recommend that have specific settings/advice.

I’ve heard so much terms such as recording on DLog (?) but I am truly unsure. I’ve seen people record with a certain setting that makes the footage look like it doesn’t have any color, and then once you edit it, it looks good

I do not know a lot and everything I’m saying may sound ignorant or come off as rude (?), so apologies in advance. Just wanted to hop on here and ask for advice !

Thank you

There are dozens of these lenses, and I'm having a hard time deciding which factor would be best or whether I should go with glass or plastic lenses. Can anyone share their long-term experience with me?

"Orbit to Earth" is a series of location-based cinematic travel films that journey from space to destinations around the world, blending satellite imagery with aerial and ground cinematography to create a continuous flight from Orbit to Earth.

Episode Two leaves the cities of Southern California and heads out into the vast Mojave Desert, arriving at Death Valley.

Home to the lowest point in North America, Death Valley is famous for its intense heat, but also for remarkable geological formations like Devil's Golf Course, Badwater Basin, and Ubehebe Crater.

Filmed with the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and Osmo Pocket 3.
