DJI at NAB 2024
Lots of cool new products at the DJI booth during NAB 2024. They had a subway scene where you could test stabilizers and other cameras for that fun urban shot. But I was more focused on the mobile cameras – using the Pocket 2 for my video capture, I wanted to see the new Action 2 Dual and Pocket 3, along with some other items for my production.
DJI Action 2 Dual
This is a small camera – only 1.54 inches, can be placed in many spots on the body or tripod with their magnetic mount system. The back of the camera is a confidence monitor so you can see the shot you are getting.
This is 4K – 120fps camera. It also features 8 array microphones with noise suppression to get voices in a busy booth.
The camera is waterproof up to 10 meters without a case (60 meters with a case), and weighs only 56 grams.
The sensor is 1/1.7″, and the lens will give you a 155 degree field of view with an aperture of f/2.8.The camera can record up to 4K 60 fps (130 Mbps), and contains EIS RockSteady 2.0+HorizonSteady stabilization.

Connect the Confidence Monitor
The additional monitor allows you to see more for interviews or VLOG selfies. The 2nd monitor is just that – not a 2nd camera.
Magnetic Clip Mounts
The mounts are magnetic, but also have hooks to secure the device. The magnetic array allows for data passthrough for items such as the 2nd monitor.
Battery Life
Inside is a LiPo 1S battery at 580 mAh. Using 1080p/30 (no stabilization) will get you up to 70 minutes of video.
The DJI Action 2 Dual starts at $299
DJI Pocket 3
This camera has been out since November, but it’s really the first time I got my hands on one. The DJI Pocket 3 is an all-in-one 3-axis gimbal camera.
The Pocket 3 improves from the 2 with a 1 inch CMOS , 4K/120 fps video, improved stabilization, and a 2 inch rotatable screen for easier viewing (as opposed to the small screen of the Pocket 2).

Horizontal or Vertical Video
That screen does serve another purpose, and that is to tell the camera if you are making a vertical or HD video. The touchscreen allows for adjustments on the fly, but you can still connect up to the DJI app and control the camera from there (
10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG
This feature allows you to record in Log format, and let the LUT or color grader make it look the way you want. The camera will capture up to 1 billion colors, and with the 1 inch sensor, capture in high or low light situations.
Pocket 3 starts at $519
