Key Notes for New Users:
1. When purchasing a DJI product, remember that a memory card is not included by default. Since shooting requires a memory card, make sure to get one separately to avoid any disappointment upon receiving your device.
2. The all-inclusive package offers additional accessories (refer to Figure 3 for specifics) and comes at a premium of approximately $1000 over the standard version. However, for casual users or non-professional bloggers, the standard configuration is typically more than adequate and offers great value for money.

Thank you so much for your kind words! To get smoother footage while walking, try using the built-in stabilizer to its full potential by keeping your elbows close to your body and taking slow, even steps. Also, consider enabling the “SmoothTrack” feature to adjust how sensitive the gimbal reacts to your movements. Happy filming, and let me know if you have more questions!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Low-light shooting can be challenging, but try enabling the “Night Mode” if your camera has it—this often helps capture clearer shots.

Thanks for your kind words! To get smoother walking footage, try bending your knees slightly and walking heel-to-toe to absorb shocks. The Pocket 3’s ActiveTrack 6.0 also works wonders for stabilization – I personally love using it for dynamic shots. You might also want to experiment with the 60fps mode for extra fluidity in post-production. Happy shooting!
