📥 FREE: The Gimbal Settings Sheet: every gimbal mode from this video on one page: https://freeley-media.kit.com/pocket3...
Your DJI Osmo Pocket 3 has four gimbal modes, two speed settings, and a hidden lock — and most people leave it on the default forever. In this beginner tutorial I walk through all four modes — Follow, Tilt Locked, FPV, and FPV Perpendicular — plus the speed settings and the joystick tricks, so you know exactly which one to use and when. No jargon: just the same walk filmed four times so you can see the difference for yourself.
Heads up on the fourth mode: it shows up on screen as "FPV ⊥" and is pronounced "FPV Perpendicular" — that little upside-down-T is the math symbol for a right angle. DJI added it in a firmware update after launch, so you won't find it in the original printed manual.
⏱ CHAPTERS
0:00 The four modes (and why default isn't enough)
0:19 What the gimbal actually does (3-axis: tilt, pan, roll)
0:34 Follow mode — your all-purpose default
1:17 Tilt Locked — the one for walking & movement
1:45 FPV — dynamic, immersive motion
2:13 Joystick trick - Recentering the gimbal
2:25 FPV Perpendicular — point-and-shoot & top-down
3:58 Joystick trick - lock the gimbal
4:51 Speed settings — following speed & joystick speed
6:51 Recap — which mode, when
