The end of April finally happened, and although most things I planned for were realized, I am still waiting on several large issues to be resolved.
That said, over the last 4 days I received the remaining accessories for my
DJI OSMO Pocket 3, so I finally decided to unbox everything.

I am pretty pleased with the DJI OSMO Pocket 3 and the accessories I thought I would need, including:
- DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Capture More Combo
- DJI Mic 2 Transmitter (Shadow Black)
- Magnetic Mount Stand Compatible with DJI Osmo Pocket 3
- ULANZI LM001 Magnetic Mini Light for DJI Osmo Pocket 3
- DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Carrying Bag, Compatibility: Osmo Pocket 3
- Anbee Portable Carrying Case Hard EVA Travel Box Storage Bag Compatible with DJI OSMO POCKET 3 - I like this case, however the DJI carrying bag works better in my situation.
- Wide Angle Lens 112°
Like everyone else, I also made a video of the unboxing process, however, it is rather long and I am still playing around with Davinci Resolve to edit the video. Not sure if it is that interesting, however, I am enjoying playing with the software.
Have I filmed anything with the Pocket 3? Yes, slicing up a cantaloupe,
however, I am also learning how to use the camera, and in this area I need a bit more
experience.

Not all of my purchases discussed in this post were through Amazon, however, the Amazon affiliate links are provided.
I thought 2025 was mostly going to be a no spend year, only allowing for purchases that did not exceed interest and dividend yields from my various CDs and savings accounts.
In April, I earned $296 (see below) in interest and dividend yields from my
CDs and savings accounts. I started purchasing the items listed above
in February 2025, so I get to use interest yields from February through April
in that I had only one other major expense over the same time period.

The other major expense in the same time frame, the new HP laptop. Okay, no more spending until
July. Which reminds me, one of the projects I am currently working? Retiring
my Acer Windows XP notebook.

I have rarely used the Acer notebook since the fall of 2022, however, it had too much code, data, and programs for me to leave it unattended. I have been cleaning it up for storage. This task was a little harder than I wanted, but I will feel happier putting this working, however "slow and dated" notebook into storage.
