The ultra-popular DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is the camera of choice for content creators for a reason. In testing out this on-the-go cam, we found it “delivers amazing video quality and beautiful slow-motion scenes” — and awarded it a Recommended badge.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to pick one up, the DJI OSmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo is $512 (was $639) at Best Buy as part of the 4th of July sale.
That’s a $117 saving on the bundle that includes the mini tripod, wide-angle lens add-on, carrying case, and ND filter set alongside the camera itself — everything you’d need to start shooting without buying accessories separately.
Today's top DJI Osmo Pocket 3 deal
For anyone who creates video content — whether for social media, travel, events, or professional work — the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo is one of the best compact cameras available right now.
The Pocket 3 was the upgrade the Pocket line needed. DJI fitted it with a new 1-inch CMOS sensor — the biggest change from the previous generation — and in our review, the improvement in low-light performance was immediately obvious.
That 1-inch sensor is what sets the Pocket 3 apart in the broader action camera market. GoPro and Insta360 alternatives at this price use smaller sensors that struggle in anything other than ideal lighting. The Pocket 3’s 1-inch CMOS captures noticeably more detail and light in indoor environments, evening shoots, and overcast outdoor conditions — the situations where most content creators actually end up filming, rather than in bright daylight, where every camera looks good.
The 4K 120 fps capability is another spec that earns its place in real-world use. At 120 fps, you can slow footage down to 25% speed in a 30fps timeline without it looking choppy — the kind of cinematic slow motion that previously required much more expensive cinema cameras.
For travel content, sports coverage, or anything with movement, it opens up editing options that just aren’t available on competitors that run 4K at 60 fps maximum.
Portrait mode at up to 3K resolution is genuinely useful for social media creators. Instead of cropping a landscape video into a vertical frame and losing half the image, the Pocket 3 captures natively in portrait orientation — the output is optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts without any post-processing workaround.
In our review, we flagged two honest caveats to keep in mind before you buy. The touchscreen, while improved over the previous generation at 2 inches, is still “not the most enjoyable when navigating around settings and menus” given the limited real estate. And, like most compact cameras with high-powered sensors in a small chassis, it can get warm during extended filming sessions. Neither is a deal-breaker, but both are worth factoring in if you’re planning long continuous shoots.
The Creator Combo’s value is straightforward: the ND filter set alone typically costs $40–50 when purchased separately, the wide-angle lens add-on adds another $40–60, and the carrying case and mini tripod add further value. Getting all of it bundled at $512 — $117 off the combined retail value — is the right way to buy the Pocket 3 if you want a complete shooting kit rather than just the camera body.
