Leveling up your video doesn’t have to mean carrying a huge camera rig. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 packs a 1-inch sensor, gimbal stabilization, and 4K/120fps video into a pocket-sized body that is built for creators who want pro-looking footage without the bulk. Right now it’s on sale for $528, down from $799, which is a 34% discount on one of the most popular compact vlog cameras out there.
The headline feature here is the 1-inch CMOS sensor, which is larger than what you find in most phones and a lot of action cams. That extra sensor size helps with low light, dynamic range, and overall image quality. The Osmo Pocket 3 records up to 4K at 120fps, so you can capture super smooth slow motion as well as sharp, real-time footage.
The camera sits on a built-in 3-axis gimbal, which keeps your shots stable while you walk, pan, or move through a scene. You also get fast focusing and face and object tracking, so the camera can lock onto you or your subject and stay with them as they move. For vlogging and YouTube content, that kind of reliability is a big deal.
Controls and framing are handled through an integrated touchscreen, and the compact design means it slips easily into a pocket or small bag. It is the kind of camera you can bring everywhere without thinking twice.
A lot of creators start with just a phone, then hit the limits of stabilization, low light performance, or audio options. The Osmo Pocket 3 fills that gap nicely. It gives you a dedicated tool that is built for video first, with stabilization, tracking, and frame rates that are designed around content creation rather than casual clips.
At $528, it is still an investment, but at a much more approachable price than its usual $799. If you’re filming travel videos, daily vlogs, product reviews, or behind-the-scenes clips for social, this kind of camera can noticeably clean up your footage compared to a handheld phone. It is also less intimidating to carry and set up than a mirrorless camera with lenses and cages.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 delivers a lot of creator-focused features in a tiny package, and this $528 sale price makes it easier to justify if you are serious about video. With its 1-inch sensor, 4K/120fps recording, 3-axis gimbal, and smart tracking, it is a strong option for YouTube, TikTok, and travel content when you want high-quality footage that still fits in your pocket.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
