DJI osmo pocket 3 set up

I’ve noticed a popular shooter bootyfulcandid uses the DJI osmo pocket 3 freehand which seems really risky and I have no idea how he gets away with it.

I was thinking if I were to use such a camera how I’d conceal it and have came up with two methods.

Method 1: Using a sock

You simply use a block sock and slot the stick inside, leaving the lens exposed. This seems better than simply having the whole thing out.

Method 2: DIY vape box

Not sure if this is possible but you’d create a coloured vape case and position the stick inside. This can be customised with a logo to make it seem more authentic. I’m unsure if this would work though.

If anyone has any ideas to share please dm or discuss it here

I have the same camera and never use it, I dont understand how he gets away with it. But Ive also been curious of ways to conceal it. I stick to using my phone.

have you tried holding it in the same hand with a black bag? I’ve heard the camera isn’t that big so it shouldn’t stick out that much right

He caps with 1-2 other people and in locations where it’s often busy and people won’t notice it.

However the news (Metro) has picked up on it + his site has went down; so I wouldn’t suggest anyone based in the UK using it until this dies down.

Pocket 3 shooter here. I’ll be honest, you simply can’t hide it. Trust me. The camera, in this case the gimbal head, needs to be clear of any hard surface touching it to prevent stabilization lock. If the camera can’t move freely it will pop up a error message on the screen and you won’t be able to film. Your only option is to go freehanded.

This definitely isn’t a good camera to use lol. Quality is amazing but you can’t really conceal it. Bootyful obviously doesn’t care about getting caught lol the amount of looks he gets in his videos is crazy, there was one part he was following a girl up the stairs to a train station platform and literally everyone going down locked eyes with the camera

Ye he a wild boy for sure, i love my osmo the quality is amazing. I could only dream of using it, Im definitely not as ballsy.

Wanted to buy a osmo pocket 3 this black friday. Dont you guys recommend it? I thought it would be stealth enough with a bag in the same hand…

Bootyful does not conseal his camera he open hands shoots holding a black bag. He doesn’t care if he is busted which is beyond stupid but great for us.
Now it looks like people are onto him. They work in pairs
