Should I buy the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for social media or film/stream with my iPhone 13 Pro Max?

I can get the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 which is allegedly like the best cheapest camera for content creators for about 320€ right now. A new one costs like 400€ most of the time.

I could also just buy more equipment to film with my smartphone but I‘m also worried about the battery draining fast or some low lives trying to snatch my phone away while I‘m filming (probably won‘t happen but I rather prefer to be safe than sorry).

Gonna need to buy a microphone, light for filming at home and SD card if I buy a camera. Probably some additional stuff aswell.

I already bought a Shimbol CP5 Ultra, a selfie monitor for my smart phone so I can see myself while filming.

Which stuff would you guys recommend? Do any of you even post on social media?

I plan on becoming a streamer but I have no clue which niche yet.

No reason to spend $400 on a camera when you haven't even started posting yet. I would wait until you actually get some traction.

Yeah, but I plan on doing it long-term anyway. I have to more or less. A normal career isn‘t for me.

I bought tons of video games in the past which I didn‘t even play, or expensive clothes or other stuff I barely or never used.

This camera would probably be less than a waste than a lot of stuff I bought impulsively or fines I had to pay in the past.

Nah, the used ones are 60€ more expensive than a new one from AliExpress at the moment.

German Craigslist almost only has scammers so I haven‘t used the site in a while.

DJI osmo 3 for sure, way better for action footage, POV and solo travel vlogs

Thanks, I guess.

Yeah, traveling is the least of my worries since I‘m poor. If I were to travel I would probably not even film anything unless I did it for content.

POV I don‘t care about either since I want my channels to focus on me and not some cat videos or whatever.

I saw a few reviews and even videographers who usually used way more expensive cameras said they liked it and I saw some footage which were shot with it. Looked pretty good.
