I Tried to Buy the Osmo Pocket 3 for Weeks—Here’s What Happened Trying to buy the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 was a mission. Between sold-out listings, app glitches, and daily refreshes, I nearly gave up. But then—boom—an email changed everything. Here’s my journey to finally collecting this compact powerhouse and why it might just be my new go-to camera for vlogging.

Alright people, let’s talk about the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 saga—because trust me, it was a *mission* just to get my hands on this little beast.
The Hype Was Real… But So Was the Sell-Out
I placed my order on March 15th, thinking I’d pick it up from the DJI Store the next day. Simple, right? Nope. When I checked back later, *boom*—sold out. Not just online, but everywhere. Amazon? Nada. It was like everyone in the country decided to cop one overnight.
Daily App Checks and False Hope
I turned into that person who refreshes the DJI app *every single day* waiting for a collection email. Nothing. Weeks passed. Then one morning I thought, let me call DJI. The call went straight to voicemail. My heart? Sank. Deep.
The Plot Twist
But then, plot twist—two minutes later, I get a call back. DJI said new stock was dropping on Friday (this was Wednesday). I thought, I’ve waited this long, what’s two more days?
Fast forward to Thursday afternoon—ding! Notification from the Shop app. Then the email hit: *“Your Osmo Pocket 3 is ready for collection.”* You already know I called straight away to confirm, and the lady was like, *“Yeah, come pick it up!”*
Picking up my DJI Osmo Pocket 3
Apple Store Vibes at DJI
When I finally pulled up to the DJI Store—let me say, it legit felt like walking into an Apple Store. Wood tables, sleek layout, spotless displays. Even the ceiling lighting had that clean minimalist energy.
And shoutout to the staff—top-tier service. The woman I spoke to on the phone was literally waiting for me by the door. She clocked me straight away: *“You must be Innocent.”* Proper concierge vibes.
What Took So Long?
Honestly? I don’t even care anymore. Because this camera is *beautiful*. DJI might actually be the Apple of the camera world now. And if Canon or Sony are reading this—you lot better wake up. DJI is out here innovating while others are still debating.
Let’s Talk Specs (Later)
Now, I haven’t even unboxed it yet. That’s coming. But I can already tell—from the feel, the design, the packaging—that DJI’s done something special here. And I’m hyped to finally vlog without feeling like I’m doing arm day at the gym. (S/O to my Fujifilm X-S20, but man… it’s a workout!)
Final Thoughts
This wasn’t just about buying a camera. This was about persistence, hope, and a *lot* of patience. I’m excited to test it, review it, and most importantly—*create* with it.
So, are you filming with DJI gear? Still rocking mirrorless? Hit the comments. And big love to Louis Humusilo—your vids put me on. DJI, sponsor that man!
Until the next drop, from noisy but sunny L-Town—peace out.
