The DJI Osmo Pocket 3's vertical mode crops to 3K instead of rotating the sensor, delivering sharp 1080p video for Instagram and TikTok. Quality loss is barely noticeable unless you're zooming in close, making it ideal for social media creators.

One of the bigger perks as well is you can flip the screen and you can go into vertical mode. Now you can only film in 3K in this vertical mode, but Instagram doesn't like anything above 1080p, so there's really— you're going to be able to use that for a long time in the future. So if you're a big Instagram or TikTok person, you can flip the screen, put it in vertical mode, and it's still going to get amazing results. Now one thing to note the camera doesn't actually physically spin to go into vertical mode. It just crops in and shoots in 3K. So I personally am fine with it. I think it looks fantastic. I don't think it looks— it loses any quality really that you can tell by the naked eye. Now if you were to sit there and zoom in, or if you're a professional filmmaker, you're probably going to notice. But from a very regular consumer eyeball, like, nobody's going to tell.
