DJI’s hyper-popular vlogging camera, the Osmo Pocket 3, is on sale at a near-record low at Amazon. You can pick one up now for $520 and save 35 percent ($279) off the regular price. This is likely the best deal you’re going to see for the Pocket 3 any time soon, given US tariffs that recently forced DJI to jack up the price.
When DJI’s Osmo Pocket 3 came out I said was “maybe the only vlogging camera you need.” To start with, it has a big one-inch sensor that boosts image quality considerably, particularly in low light. You also get a large swiveling touchscreen that makes it easier to switch between horizontal and vertical video. What really makes it great for vlogging, though, are the follow modes combined with face tracking. When working solo, you can simply set it up and it’ll rotate and tilt to follow you around — so you don’t have to worry about focus or even pointing the camera at yourself.
While there’s very little not to like about the Osmo Pocket 3, it’s not ideal for photos and is also quite expensive. But with the Black Friday deal and DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 rumored to be arriving in December, it’s a great time to buy one — just act quickly as stocks are bound to run out.
