The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is revolutionary for portable cameras. It's impressive how much tech—like a 1-inch sensor and smooth 3-axis stabilization—fits into such a small device, making great footage accessible to everyone. While it's great on its own, with the proper accessories, it can be customized to your exact specifications. This guide makes it easy to select the best equipment for popular applications, such as travel, action shots, and vlogging, to help you make informed decisions. Let's get started!
Ulanzi's Top Osmo Pocket 3 Accessories for Smooth Vlogging
Vlogging is a natural fit for the Pocket 3, thanks to its portability and stability. To really step up your vlogging game with Ulanzi gear, think about getting a wider view and a more comfortable, stable setup. These Ulanzi accessories are perfect for achieving that polish.
Widen Your Perspective: Ulanzi 112° Wide-Angle Lens (C051)
Ever find your face filling too much of the frame when shooting selfie-style? The Pocket 3's standard view is decent, but the Ulanzi 112° Wide-Angle Lens (C051) makes a world of difference for vlogging.
This lens instantly broadens your field of view. It means you can hold the Pocket 3 more naturally, fitting yourself and more of your cool surroundings into the shot without that awkward super-extended arm. It makes your vlogs feel less cramped and more inviting. Plus, it uses a super convenient magnetic attachment – just snap it on or off in a second.
Get a Grip (and Stability): Ulanzi MT-05 Mini Handheld Tripod
Holding the compact Pocket 3 for longer takes can get a bit fiddly. The Ulanzi MT-05 Mini Handheld Tripod solves this by giving you both a better grip and a stable base.
First, it acts as a comfortable handle, making handheld shooting feel more secure and less tiring.
Second, the legs fold out, transforming it into a sturdy mini tripod. This is awesome for setting the camera down on a table for talking head segments, capturing time-lapses, or getting creative low angles without needing to prop it up precariously.
Add Future Flexibility: Ulanzi PK-06 Expansion Adapter (C014)
While the Wide-Angle lens and Tripod are key starters, sometimes you need points to attach other things, like a light or maybe an external microphone down the road. The Ulanzi PK-06 Expansion Adapter (C014) provides those crucial connection points.
This simple adapter adds a cold shoe mount and potentially other threads (like 1/4"-20) to your Pocket 3 setup. A cold shoe is what you'll use to mount most small LED lights or microphone receivers. Even if you don't have those yet, adding this adapter prepares your rig for future upgrades.
Must-Have Ulanzi Pocket 3 Accessories for Travel & Adventure
The Pocket 3 is practically made for travel – small, discreet, yet powerful. When you're exploring, Ulanzi accessories focusing on protection, managing bright light, and keeping things organized are your best friends.
Tame Bright Sunlight: Ulanzi PK-03 ND Magnetic Filters Kit (F004)
Shooting stunning travel footage often means dealing with bright sunshine. To get that smooth, cinematic motion in your videos (instead of choppy-looking footage), you need to control the light hitting the sensor. Ulanzi PK-03 ND Magnetic Filters Kit (F004) helps overcome the issue.
ND (Neutral Density) filters are like sunglasses for your lens. They reduce the amount of light, letting you use slower shutter speeds (ideal is often double your frame rate, e.g., 1/60s for 30fps) even in bright daylight. This creates natural-looking motion blur. This Ulanzi kit uses magnets, making swapping filters super quick as lighting conditions change. So, it enables smooth, professional-looking video with natural motion blur, even on sunny days, preventing blown-out highlights.
What Ulanzi offers: A magnetic kit with various ND strengths (like ND8, 16, 32, 64 - check kit specifics) for different lighting, easy to swap on the fly.
Keep It Safe & Organized: Ulanzi PK-04 Carrying Bag (B012)
Just tossing your Pocket 3 into a backpack is risky business, especially with that sensitive gimbal. The Ulanzi PK-04 Carrying Bag (B012) is designed specifically to keep your Pocket 3 and its essential bits safe.
This compact, likely semi-rigid case offers much-needed protection against bumps, scratches, and dust while you're on the move. Good cases like this usually have molded spots for the Pocket 3 itself and organized compartments for small but vital Ulanzi accessories like the ND filters, wide-angle lens, and cables.
This bag just provides crucial protection and organization for your Pocket 3 gear, making it easy to grab and go while keeping everything secure. It gives that peace of mind while traveling.
Quick Gimbal & Screen Defense: Ulanzi PK-07 Gimbal and Screen Protector (C015)
When you take the camera out or put it away for a short time, you need to quickly protect the most sensitive parts, even with a carrying case. That's what the Ulanzi PK-07 Gimbal and Screen Protector (C015) provides.
Usually, this set comes with a cover that clamps over the lens and gimbal to keep them safe from scratches and to lock the gimbal mechanism while not in use. A screen protector film is frequently included as well to prevent scratches on the Pocket 3's display. For seamless transfers in and out of your bag, it is indispensable.
When you're during active use and transport, this protector provides immediate, convenient protection for the lens, gimbal, and screen – the most vulnerable parts.
Top Ulanzi Pocket 3 Accessories for Action Shots & POV
The Pocket 3's stabilization is amazing, making it great for capturing smoother footage during activities like cycling or hiking. It's not a rugged action cam, but with the right Ulanzi mounts, you can get awesome POV shots securely.
Go Hands-Free: Ulanzi Go-Quick II System (CO62, CM028, CM027)
Once you can connect to action mounts, you need a way to wear the camera. Ulanzi's Go-Quick II system uses strong magnets for super-fast attachment. These mounts let you film from your perspective without holding the camera. Pick the style (backpack, chest, head) that works best for you.
- The Ulanzi CO62 Go-Quick II Magnetic Backpack Clip Mount (C064GBB1) is great for hiking – clip it to your shoulder strap for a stable view and quick access.
- The Ulanzi CM028 Go-Quick II Magnetic Body Mount Harness (C021GBB1) gives you that classic chest-cam view, great for cycling or activities needing a centered perspective.
- The Ulanzi CM027 Go-Quick II Head Strap Mount (C020GBB1) provides a true first-person view.
On-the-Go Shield: Ulanzi PK-07 Gimbal and Screen Protector (C015)
Yes, this one again! In action scenarios, the risk of bumps and dust hitting the lens or gimbal is even higher. Quick protection is vital.
When you pause your activity or need to quickly stow the camera, snapping on the Ulanzi PK-07 Gimbal Protector shields the most fragile part from immediate harm or dust ingress. Don't underestimate this simple piece. The same simple, effective gimbal/lens cover and screen film mentioned in the Travel section – equally important here.
Ulanzi Creative Filming Accessories for Cinematic Pocket 3 Looks
Want to get more artistic with your Pocket 3? Ulanzi offers filters to create specific moods and lights to shape your scene, helping you move beyond basic capture towards more cinematic results.
Get That Dreamy Film Look: Ulanzi PK-01 Black Mist Filter (F002)
If you love that soft, glowing look around lights often seen in movies, the Ulanzi PK-01 Black Mist Filter (F002) is your ticket. This filter subtly spreads out highlights (makes lights bloom softly) and slightly lowers contrast. It creates a gentler, more atmospheric, and often described as "cinematic" or "dreamy" feel. It's fantastic for night scenes, interviews, or just softening harsh daylight for a less digital look. Like the NDs, it's likely magnetic for easy use.
Add Light Where You Need It: Ulanzi LM001 Pocket 3 Magnetic Mini Light (L168)
Even with the Pocket 3's great low-light ability, adding your own light source gives you creative control. The Ulanzi LM001 Pocket 3 Magnetic Mini Light (L168) is designed specifically for this.
This tiny LED light likely attaches magnetically right near the Pocket 3's lens (check specifics). It lets you add a pop of light to a subject's face (catchlight in the eyes), fill in shadows for product shots, or just provide enough illumination for a clear shot when it's really dark. Controlled light = better quality and more creative options.
Flexible Rigging Powerhouse: Ulanzi Falcam F22 Quick Release Expansion Frame
For ultimate creative flexibility in how you mount lights, mics, or even just position the Pocket 3 itself, the Ulanzi Falcam F22 Quick Release Expansion Frame is a fantastic base. We mentioned it for action, but it's equally valuable here. The F22 frame not only protects but gives you multiple F22 quick-release ports. This allows you to quickly attach and reposition F22 accessories like articulating arms (magic arms), cold shoes, or other mounts anywhere on the frame. You could build a small rig with a light and mic precisely where you want them. You can transform the Pocket 3 into a modular base for building custom creative rigs, offering fast, secure mounting points for various accessories via the F22 system.
Picking Your Favorite Ulanzi Pocket 3 Gear
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is awesome on its own, but Ulanzi offers a solid range of accessories designed to make it even better for your specific shooting style. You don't need everything, just think about how you use your Pocket 3 most often. Are you mainly vlogging? Grab that Ulanzi Wide-Angle Lens (C051) and MT-05 Tripod. Traveling a lot? The PK-03 ND Filter Kit and PK-04 Carrying Bag are essential. Getting into action shots? Look at the F22 Frame and a Go-Quick II Mount. Focusing on creative looks? The PK-01 Black Mist Filter and LM001/LM18 Light can make a big impact. Start with what solves your biggest need, and build your Ulanzi kit from there.
FAQs about Ulanzi Pocket 3 Accessories
Q: Will these Ulanzi Pocket 3 accessories work with the older Pocket 1 or Pocket 2?
Generally, no. Most of the Ulanzi accessories listed here, especially the form-fitting ones like the F22 Frame (specific model for P3), Magnetic Filters (PK-03, PK-01), Wide-Angle Lens (C051), and Gimbal Protector (PK-07), are designed specifically for the dimensions and lens mount of the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Always double-check the product listing, but assume Pocket 3 accessories are not backward compatible unless explicitly stated.
Q: How strong are the ND/Black Mist Ulanzi magnetic filters? Will they fall off easily?
Strong magnets are typically used in Ulanzi's magnetic filter systems (such as the PK-03 ND Kit and PK-01 Black Mist) to provide a snug fit during regular use, such as walking or moderate movement. They are quite practical for last-minute adjustments. However, there's always a chance that any magnetic accessory could come loose during extremely high-impact sports (such as strenuous mountain biking or if the camera is directly knocked). They would be fine for the majority of vlogging, travel, and light creative work. Just be mindful during particularly rough use.
Q: Can I still easily access the Pocket 3's touchscreen and buttons when it's inside the Ulanzi F22 Frame?
Yes, protective frames like the Ulanzi Falcam F22 Frame are specifically designed to provide mounting points and protection without blocking access to crucial controls. You should still have full access to the Pocket 3's touchscreen, power button, record button, and any ports needed for charging or data transfer while the camera is secured in the frame.
