I love the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, and it's $270 off for Cyber Monday at Best Buy
SAVE $270: Through Cyber Monday at Best Buy, you can get the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 4K Gimbal Camera at Best Buy for 34% off its usual price of $799.99, a huge $270 discount.
I reviewed the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for Mashable in late 2023, and I gave it 4.8 out of 5 stars and a Mashable Choice Award. I've never been sadder to send back a product. In the two years since, whenever I attend an event where vloggers or creators gather, I see this camera everywhere. It's a cult-favorite camera among creators, and it's made appearances in Mashable's In My Bag series as well.
If this camera is on your wishlist already, but the $799.99 price tag has stopped you, then I have very good news. This camera almost never goes on sale, but right now, it's $270 off as part of Best Buy's Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale. That's a huge discount, and it makes this 4K gimbal camera much more affordable. For creators, this is probably the best Black Friday deal so far.
What makes this camera so special? It's a gimbal camera that shoots steady video even as you navigate a crowded space, letting you easily pan and track as needed. It can also identify and follow faces when you or a subject is speaking directly to the camera, helping you shoot professional-quality footage wherever you are. It also features a rotatable 2-inch touchscreen, so you can see exactly what's in frame at any given moment.
The 3-axis stabilization ensures you always get smooth footage, and the camera itself is also impressive. The 1-inch CMOS sensor can capture 4K video at 120fps (it records in MP4 format). In my review, I said that "I can't imagine a better social video camera," and in the two years since its release, it's still the gold standard for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and livestreaming.
Is this product available at Amazon?
You can find the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 at Amazon, but only from third-party sellers. For that reason, we'd shop this Cyber Monday deal at Best Buy.
DJI products are getting harder to find in the U.S. this year thanks to an impending DJI drone ban, so I recommend jumping on this one, and fast.
