Anyone shot a Gig with a DJI Osmo Pocket 3?
dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Accessories and Misc
So true, but we find it very hard to light the band from the front at a lot of our gigs. Small stages are a pain. We do use a few LED spots/ Disco type lights on the floor pointing towards us a lot of the time, but it’s not ideal. -

That’s the unedited OP3, inc it’s audio. -

I have a Canon R7 so have the ability to shoot C-log etc if i want, the point is i couldn’t give that set up to someone in the audience to use. It’s hard enough ensuring they don’t do bloody portrait video as it is. The OP3 is just perfect for gigs, plus it’s stabilised and no one will really nice e it being used. The gig was all recorded in Logic on an iPad as a 14 track project, so the sound is covered (just need to re mix it all). This was also the first time out with my Zoom H4e recorder, set about a foot from the snare drum. It came out very clean and had a good crisp top end without any distortion (that i can hear). -

Yeah, it’s not bad and seems to handle the high dynamic range ok ill try and get some real low light footage this week. I shot this when we were setting up. It’s a bit darker in places. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/em7lhbqkq6b2mt8d9qn55/DJI_20240427180707_0026_D.MP4?rlkey=5lf35wo5y6ice375axrnsjgsc&dl=0 -

Unedited clip here. Not taken from a good angle but it wasn’t taken by me. I’m at the back. Just about noticeable. As you can see, it was a bit cramped up there. This was shot in normal mode, 4K 30fps. 10bit H.265 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/o06nn7et4imqaaabsp8ca/DJI_20240427192926_0027_D.MP4?rlkey=e3rj2ywiiin12s3bu8dr1kgsy&dl=0 -

Finally got to use the Osmo Pocket 3 at a small pub gig. There is a bit of distortion as its a wide lens, but other than that im really impressed. Very clean for low light and audio is much better than my iphone Pro. -
I was sort of joking, and i hope you do get your editor as i can see it’s quite handy for those that want to do that sort of thing. Although i have it and i expect to use it occasionally, it wouldn’t bother me one bit if the software didn’t exist. I’ve not really used editors with any of the devices that have them. I’m more hands on with the device.

Interesting. I’m sending mine back as i can’t believe it’s normal, but if i get another that does it I’ll live with it. It’s coming from inside behind the main board. I can’t be bothered to take that out and check. In was going through the various pre amps and amps and noticed noise on all of them in their default state. I then tested my B1-four and that was about the same. None really deal breakers, and possible to fix even without the NR, but more than i ever heard with my Helix.
-
I have neither Android or can be bothered with Windows. So I’m good 😂
-
I just noticed there is something rattling around inside my B2-four. Can someone give theirs a shake and let me know if its normal or not please. Might have to send it back already.

USB interface for ipad with onboard amp sims?
dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Accessories and Misc
Just to finish the thread. I ended up going way over budget and getting the Zoom B2-Four. This works exactly as I wanted, bus powered so just the one cable, headphone on the device, which also receives the audio from my iPad, and although pricier than I was hoping for I was also looking for something like this for using with the band. So two birds with one stone etc. -
Maybe there was a reason Ashdown put the Octave button on their amps after all. Can't say I ever used it (ive had a few of their amps with it).
-
Only had a short play with my B2 but yeah, it’s noisy and does seem to need the ZNR, although maybe i just need to gain stage a bit better. This was also quite loud on good headphones which would reproduce the noise quite well. I’m not sure I’d need it through an amp. Can’t try that out for 2 weeks. I did find the BDDI sounds a bit more solid compared to the B1-four’s version, but that might just be down to a few things. I’ll definitely just use the BDDI for now, maybe in two slots. One for normal and one with a bit more drive. That way the tone won’t change much.
-
Yeah. The iphone or ipad powers it. No need to hook the PSU up. Both my latest devices have USB-C. It even runs off a power bank, although ive not tested it fully like this.
-
Mine turned up today. Very happy with it so far, but i haven’t plugged a bass in yet. Im really pleased it runs off bus power, works perfectly with my phone. The app might get more use that i first thought, at least for setting things up.
-
Maybe it’s because of the DI section?
-
Yeah. That’s the attraction for me. BDDI on all the time and add others to taste as and when the song needs it. I might create a separate patch for just one song. I normally use a 5 string as it needs low B and C#. Thinking I’ll just add the octave below in with the pedal and play higher.
-
Just wanted to mention, this thread is the first time ive ever heard of Djent. I had to go and look it up. Even then it took me a few mins to figure out that it's a genre and not a brand lol.
-
I’ll need to dig my old B1-Four out as i have a nice generic tone with just the right amount of drive programmed in for the type of songs I’m doing. I can’t remember what i was using for OD, but it wasn’t from an amp sim. I remember at one stage i was using various BDDI’s and switching between them. I’ll probably not do that this time.
-
Cheers. Im still 50/50 whether i really need it, but as it’s cheaper than the BDDI i would have ended up getting, and covers my other need for an interface that works with my ipad for home practice (covered in another thread) it seems a reasonable price to pay.
-
Just ordered mine from Bass Direct. According to the manual it can be bus powered, this swung it for me.
-
No, i know what thread im in, but i was taking about getting B2 instead of the MS60+ in one post, and i got replies from that post. The MS60+ seemed attractive at first, but for not a lot more the B2 offers more foot switches. If the B1 four had another foot switch I’d probably keep with that. im not incorporating it with anything else, so this will just be my only source of silly noises and self indulgence lol.
-
I’ve lost track of all these threads and who’s getting what. So you are getting the B2-four as well?
