Every week, I find myself reaching for my DJI Osmo Pocket 3 to film episodes of *Today I’m Toying With*, and my affection for this tiny yet powerful device runs deep. This compact marvel—essentially a miniature steadicam—has earned its reputation as one of DJI’s most beloved and best-selling creations, largely because of its remarkable ability to automatically capture beautifully stabilized video with minimal input from the user. Compared with a smartphone, the footage it produces is dramatically smoother, more cinematic, and consistently professional-looking, even when I’m shooting quickly or in motion. That said, there’s one aspect that has dampened my enthusiasm: DJI’s decision to raise the price of this little camera twice in the same year. Fortunately, a new round of discounts has nearly erased that increase, bringing the price down to levels reminiscent of the period before the Trump-era import tariffs. To sweeten the deal even further, one of the clone versions now costs even less.
At present, the DJI Pocket 3 alone is selling for a flat $575 at Amazon, $585 at B&H, and $598 at Walmart. Retailers such as Adorama, Best Buy, Target, and Micro Center have it priced at $599. Considering that its post-tariff price reached nearly $799.99, these discounts—ranging roughly from $200 to $225 off—represent a genuinely significant savings. However, for many creators, the better purchase is the *Creator Combo* edition, which bundles several useful accessories. At the moment, this version is an impressive $240 off, and I can personally vouch for how often its additional components come in handy. Nearly every week, I make use of the extended battery handle when I’m capturing timelapse sequences, and I frequently rely on the DJI Mic 2 wireless lapel microphone from this kit for narrating my videos. Even the footage featured in the clip below, though primarily recorded on my iPhone, includes narration captured through that mic.
Currently, the *DJI Pocket 3 Creator Combo* is being offered for $739 at B&H, Adorama, Best Buy, Walmart, and Micro Center. The package includes several thoughtful accessories that enhance both functionality and portability: a compact mini tripod; a specialized tripod handle equipped with a USB-C passthrough, which allows the camera to charge while mounted; a detachable wide-angle lens that extends the field of view, though still slightly narrower than I would ideally prefer; a soft carrying case designed to hold the entire setup; and, finally, a rigid hardshell sleeve for extra protection when I toss the camera into my backpack for travel. These small details embody the practicality and design intelligence that DJI’s enthusiast community has come to appreciate.
If you’re browsing on Amazon, there’s also an alternate $729 package worth noting. That particular set omits several of the aforementioned parts, which makes the Creator Combo the more complete and versatile option for anyone who plans to rely on the camera regularly. None of these current discounts take the prices quite as low as DJI’s original pre-tariff retail tags—$519 for the stand-alone camera and $669 for the Combo—but they do mark the lowest figures we’ve seen since April, making this the first truly noteworthy sale in quite some time.
For those seeking an even more budget-conscious alternative, Amazon is offering the Xtra Muse for $500 today, made possible by an on-page coupon. According to my own assessment detailed in my full report, this device appears to be essentially identical to the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 under a different brand name—it’s not a generic knockoff, but a rebranded version that delivers comparable performance. The Xtra Muse captures the same smooth, high-quality footage and exhibits the same stabilizing precision, with the only clear omission being support for DJI’s proprietary wireless microphone system.
Looking to the future, DJI appears to be developing an *Osmo Pocket 4* that may feature a dual-camera configuration instead of the current single-lens design. However, I wouldn’t necessarily count on seeing that model reach the United States, given recent patterns in the company’s global product strategy. For example, DJI recently released its *Osmo Mobile 8* phone gimbal exclusively in China, choosing not to distribute it globally. It’s possible that similar decisions—compounded by impending U.S. regulatory restrictions and the looming possibility of a nationwide ban—could prevent the next generation of Osmo Pockets from ever making it stateside. For now, therefore, this current sale may represent the best opportunity for creators to secure the Pocket 3 while it remains widely available, at a price that once again feels reasonable and competitive.
