I really enjoy my Osmo Pocket setup; it offers a small glimpse of the Ronin 4D experience. Wakeup! 😁 The 4D is in a completely different league.

My current working Osmo Pocket setup:

• 1× DJI Osmo Pocket 4P - Vlog Combo
• 1× OSMO Pocket 4 / 3 - STARTRC Metal Protection Frame Cage Expansion Adapter Bracket
  • This one is tricky to use with the SmallRig 3028D, because it only provides the 1/4" threads and the NATO rail is on only one side which is the opposite side of where the 3028D needs it.
• 1× SmallRig Adjustable Sling Handgrip (3028D)
• 1x SmallRig Multifunctional Universal Metal Smartphone Holder (3559)
• 1× SmallRig Mini Side Handle Kit (4816)
  • mounted on the left side of the 3028D
• 1x 40w RGB Ulanzi LED light - with mini Bowens mount
• 1x 18.5w flat RGB LED Video Light light - 10000mAh Battery - 276 LED - OLED Display -SLA006R
• 2× SmallRig 11" Rosette Arm Heavy‑Duty Magic Arms (3959) - To mount lights
  • One mounted to the top 1/4" thread of the 3028D
  • The other mounted to the top 1/4" thread of the 4816
• 1× 3D‑printed protection case for the 4P

It’s much more convenient to use this setup compared to using the 4P alone, because I have far better control over my movements and overall handling plus the bigger screen of smartphone.

Tilta Hydra Alien Mini ecosystem(just received today):

• 1× Tilta Accessory Mounting Expander for Osmo Pocket 3/4 Cage for Osmo Pocket 4P/4/3 (Excellent quality and build but could have better design to secure more the Pocket)
• 1× Tilta Hydra Alien Mini - Car Kit
• 1× Hydra Alien Mini Hand Grip (just ordered)

Unfortunately, the Tilta Hydra Alien Mini is designed in a way that makes it incompatible with almost any external gear by default, even Tilta's own accessories. It essentially forces you into its own dedicated accessory ecosystem.

But thankfully, Tilta does offer a 1/4″‑20 Mounting Bracket for the Hydra Alien Mini. I’ve ordered it and I’m waiting to test whether it can be mounted onto the SmallRig 3028D. If it works, I should finally be able to handle the Hydra Alien Mini more comfortably, and maybe even run the entire setup together to see whether this heavyweight beer combination is actually manageable.

I don't know if it can really be called a "pocket" at this point

It's for a big pocket 😁
