Is a used DJI Osmo Pocket 3 worth it for travel videos?

Yes — a used DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is worth it for travel videos if you can get a clean, fully working unit around $400–$475 for the standard kit, or about $500–$600 for the Creator Combo. I’d call it a strong buy for travel because it gives you stabilized walking footage, compact pocketable size, good low-light performance for its class, and much better “grab-and-go” video than a phone on its own.

I’d be cautious above about $600 used unless it includes the Creator Combo accessories, extra batteries, filters, warranty/refurb backing, or is in near-new condition. Check sold/completed listings before buying because used prices move.

Before paying, verify: the gimbal starts and calibrates smoothly, the screen rotates properly, the lens is scratch-free, audio works, USB-C charging works, battery health seems normal, and it is not physically damaged or water-exposed.
