Is the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 good for streaming?

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a camera for streaming builds, tracked at $499, rated 4.5 out of 5 across 6,729 retailer reviews. On its own it supports up to 4K60, which needs about 20,000 kbps on the wire. Its 12-month tracked average is $521 across 12 points. It is used in 15 build guides on StreamPartPicker. Nothing here is lab-tested by us; that ceiling is a planning budget from our published model.
