I test a ton of camera gear at T3, so I hope it makes sense that, now and again, I will miss one. I remember when DJI’s Pocket 3 was launched. I was up to my neck in work, so I passed on the opportunity to test it, thinking it was just another gimbal camera. DJI must have had a drone coming out at the same time, so I decided to focus on that.
Little did I know how influential the Pocket 3 would become over the next couple of years. People absolutely gobbled it up, and it ended up disrupting the vlogging/creator community, thanks to its compact form factor, excellent video quality and ease of use. In fact, the camera was so successful that it made GoPro the best-selling action camera brand in Japan for the first time.
