Pocket 2 - Handheld 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer with 4K Camera, 1/1.7” CMOS, 64MP Photo, Pocket-Sized, ActiveTrack 3.0, Glamour Effects, YouTube TikTok Video Vlog, for Android and iPhone, Black

I had the first Osmo Pocket for two years and I really enjoyed it, it had a few downsides though like when a room was even a little dim, you could see visual noise in the footage and photos. Also whether you were outside or inside, the contrast and exposure were sometimes all over the place. The only way to TRY to fix it was to adjust the settings manually for each shot...but even then...there were limitations. This Osmo Pocket 2 is much better in the sense that when I filmed the same dim rooms or low light settings, the camera performed much better with little to no visual noise. The contrast and exposures are much more even. If you're filming a landscape that is in shadow, but there's a bright sky, this Osmo Pocket will adjust the light so you can see the ground and landscape -which is an improvement because the last pocket would adjust for the sky and make the landscape look even darker. The Pocket 2 also has better sound, its clearer and sound tracking allows it so the microphones pick up wherever the camera is pointed. I generally use an external mic, so I'll admit I haven't used the built-in mic features much. The Pocket 2 also starts up faster, but the power button is now a separate button on the side of the camera, be careful not to accidentally press the button when you're taking the camera out of the case or pushing it into the case. Speaking of case, the last Osmo was held into the case with a silicone strap, this one doesn't use a strap, it uses friction...which I think is a bad idea because over time It will wear away at the sides of the camera, making it look bad. I can already tell that's whats going to happen. The camera advertises 4k and HDR.. BUT what they don't tell you is that the HDR is not available on the 4k setting, it is only available on the 1080p setting. That being said, the 4k setting by itself is a vast improvement over the first Pocket, and by doing a bit of color grading in post-production, it could pass for HDR footage. I was a bit confused when I bought it because DJI kept saying this has zoom, but they went back and forth as if it not only possessed digital zoom but also optical zoom. Let me clear that up. THERE IS NO OPTICAL zoom not even 2x optical zoom. It uses digital zoom only, which I personally don't like, so I don't use it. The camera still gets warm when shooting in 4k mode, however it doesn't get nearly as hot as the first Pocket. My first pocket would get so hot the camera would shut down. This one doesn't. At least it hasn't yet. I like the little joy stick that comes with the camera. It allows you to move the gimball without neading to physically move your arm. This is useful for steadycam walking footage where you need to suddenly look up or down without switching to FPV mode. Just use the joystick. It moves the gimball at only 1 speed, but its a slow steady speed which is still good for getting steady footage. It would be cool if DJI incorporated software that allowed it to speed up or slow down from that speed when you push the joystick...but otherwise its a nice feature. If you're new to Osmo Pocket, it is NOT an action cam, and it is NOT a lowlight cam. It's best use is for daytime/sunset vlogging, walking tour, steadycam, or getting high-quality footage in a convenient pocket size. So don't get it wet, and don't try to shoot in near darkness or extreme sports. Everything in your shot is always in-focus, so don't expect the kind of background blurring you get with DSLR's focus. But if you want that kind of blurring, you can do that with Adobe Premiere Pro or Photoshop, so don't worry. I have shot near-DSLR quality footage with this camera and after doing some adjustments in post-production it looks amazing. I highly recommend this camera for vloggers, or for professionals when you need some extra camera work done with convenience. As for the camera, the old pocket advertized a 12 MP camera, this one advertises a 64 MP camera. Normally that would mean the 64 MP would have a resolution almost 5 times the size...but in this case, the resolution is only a little bit bigger, the difference is in the camera's ability to capture detail. I really like this camera, I think its a huge improvement over the original Osmo, for me it is the perfect camera. I personally don't need any other cameras because this one does everything I need it to do. But I know a guy who uses this camera ALONG WITH his DSLR and he gets great footage that he pieces together into a cool video. So try it out. I think you'll like it.

I bought my Pocket 2 as a replacement for my old Osmo Pocket which unfortunately was lost a couple of months ago. I was actually looking towards the GoPro Hero 9 until I discovered that the Pocket 2 was about to come out. So I waited until the specs came out and, when it did, I was pretty impressed! There were a lot of improvements made from the previous Osmo Pocket, some of which were not available to other pocket camera competitors. For one, the sensor is large: It's bigger than the GoPro 9's! Imaging and video capabilities have been ramped up with both AutoFocus and the ability to shoot 64 MP stills. There are two things that I loved about the Pocket 2. The first one is the wider FOV. At 110 degrees (which you can achieve using the add-on wide-angle lens in the Creator Combo package), you can get more in your view without having to use an extender or stretching your arm. While others have wider FOVs, the Pocket 2 has that perfect balance that combines the wider view without that fishbowl look that cameras with wide FOVs often suffer from. The second thing that I like, which you will too, is the improved audio. When it comes to pocket cameras, and even action cameras, you can't get any better than the DJI Pocket 2. It has 4 built-in microphones, and using the Pro mode you can even set which ones you would like to use in order to get crisp and clearer sounds. I've used these in windy days, near traffic, in industrial sites, and I can say that sound quality is top-notch. Other good features, which I don't particularly care for, are the facts that it can now livestream and that it can now do 8x slow motion. Oh, and did I mention that THE DJI POCKET CAN NOW DO ZOOM??? Yes, the Pocket 2 can now do 8x zoom, but you can only do 2x zoom for 4k videos. If you get the Creator Combo, you'll get a bunch of goodies like the Do-It-All Handle which will allow you to connect to WiFi and Blutooth as well as connect to a bunch of other peripherals like mics and tripods.

I won't lie I was tremendously skeptic about something this small and lightweight being able to produce any kind of good quality photo. Sometimes you'll get something that advertises one thing but then when you get it there's pixelation and distortion. I was tremendously proven wrong! This thing gives amazing photos and videos! I do videography on the side and one of my obstacles has been packing so much equipment and getting it through airport, to unload it on the other side, to get it into the car and then on to my event. For smaller events that don't require a lot this thing is absolutely amazing. And the best thing is it can fit in your back pocket. The one thing that I did not know in advance is what was needed for live streaming. I assume that once I connected my phone to the camera which provides a bigger screen for you to see what you're filming, I thought that I could stream through my phone. You cannot. You have to have the transmitter that fits into the bottom of this device in order to stream. The device calls $99 here on Amazon. The gimbal itself is very functional and it's tracking. What I mean by that is if you are walking it doesn't necessarily do a quick tracking that sometimes causes the camera to move too quickly. It's more of a slow gentle glide which is great depending on what you're filming. The downside to that is if you're filming something where you are moving rather quickly the gimbal will lose the subject and you'll have to recalibrate it again. All in all I would highly suggest this for anyone looking to do great photos or video while traveling. As far as it being water resistant I do not dare to try that out yet. But I'm currently just enjoying how this works. Battery life could be a little better. After 45 minutes of continuous filming I was down to 27% battery. And that was from it being charged 100%. So if you need to film longer this is a challenge as to the charging port may make it difficult for you to charge and film at the same time. You definitely would not be able to plug in your phone and the charger at the same time on the gimbal. All in all is a great product I highly recommend it

First of all DJI is forcing you to install and use a 420mb app on your phone before you can use the product. You have to go through pages and pages of policies and they still use you info. The app doesn't even let you open it unless you let it use your phone location. This is the type of product that you own but not really since they could lock you out of the device for whatever reason (it's in the 50 page policy). You need a phone with usb-c connetion also, or apple connection to use the product. I don't want any compromised apps based in China forced on me to use this camera. I bought the gimbal to use as standalone, otherwise I would've used the camera on my phone which has a lot more features. Now to the real flaws of the gimbal camera, as it is lacking in many crucial areas. -It has what is known as exposure stepping where the color and brightness of the image abruptly changes as you move the camera around, as in light and shadow areas, it is not smooth. This results in amateurish footage, especially at dusk, or trick lighting situations. -The 4k footage and the digital zoom get grainy in any situation where you don't have full bright sun out. -Auto focus often hunts, once again amateurish footage. -If you point the camera in the bright blue sky to film birds or etc, there are slim white halos in the image. -Active tracking mode is below average and misses more than it hits. -Slow motion footage is cropped. -The gimbal often gets lost if you move it sideways and down and you have to reset it. -You have to snap another bottom plastic piece to get a tripod mount, then the usb connection is blocked. -No external mic input where the lower priced competition has it. They want you to spend more for the creator package. -Battery life also trails some of the lower priced competition. Overall, very disappointing, and lacking in key areas that are crucial to getting quality video footage.

One of the best handheld gimbals available! This is not a perfect product, but it is a well made, high quality, small, stabilizing 4k video platform that shoots wide enough angle, zooms, has good battery life, & will probably suit your needs if you are looking for something like it. It is a great product. One major drawback, especially if you are not familiar with editing software and plan to use this in multi camera edits, it records multiple files for each recording! If you record a 30 minute video you will get five or six individual video clips . This may or may not be a big deal, but it is definitely an annoyance at best and something I wish I had known before diving into the platform. You Must use the companion app to set up, And the display screen is so small and touch screen controls are so difficult, that you likely will want to use your phone or other mobile device for controls and viewfinder . Fortunately, the companion app really is quite nice and works very well and it is quite easy to clamp your phone onto some type of accessory that holds the camera and phone such that it’s not too big of an inconvenience. For quick impromptu shooting, it’s kind of a pain to always have to turn on your phone and connect to the camera and so you will end up using the onboard controls and screen at least some of the time and they are annoying at best to use, but if you are patient, it does perform the function of capturing great quality cinematographic up to 4k video up to 60 fps. It works best as an auxiliary additional camera to add in to your setup if you already have a Main DSLR, and use this gimbal camera for specifically shots that you just cannot get with a stationary interchangeable lens DSLR because of their size and lack of remotely controllable, stabilizing, & tracking gimbal. I believe that is how it is intended to be used. I originally purchased it while my main camera was broken and it really did not work all that well as a main camera, and I was extremely happy to have my main camera come back online and when I was able to start using the pocket two as an additional camera, just to get both another angle for multicam videos as well as shots that a DSLR cannot get, I became quite pleased with its functionality and performance, but it isn’t suited, and just doesn’t lend itself well to functioning like a regular camera, and probably most people know that going in but I had never had a gimbal Camera, at least not handheld like this one, but overall, for what it is and what it is intended to be used for, it really is an awesome little device. One note, I would definitely either get the creator combo or purchase the do it all handle accessory as well as the wireless microphone accessory that come with the creator combo because they work extremely well with the camera and I cannot imagine using it without both of them. Other accessories are nice but those two are absolutely essential in my opinion, both for ease of use as well as performance. If you want the remote functionality & want to add cinematographic shots to your existing abilities, & have the money to spend on the combo, you will not be disappointed, except possibly by the multiple files, Which I cannot find a way to disable, so if anybody does No how to make it record just one file per recording, please comment! Good luck & enjoy

The DJI Pocket 2 completely exceeded my expectations. It’s amazing how much tech they packed into such a small device. The 4K video is sharp and vibrant, and the stabilization from the gimbal makes a huge difference. Everything looks cinematic, even when I’m walking or on the move. Audio quality is great too, especially with the built-in directional mic and optional wireless mic. The compact size makes it perfect for travel, vlogging, or just capturing everyday moments without drawing attention. The interface is intuitive, and with features like face tracking, slow motion, and timelapse, you can get really creative with your shots. Battery life is decent, and it charges up fast. Highly recommended for anyone who wants excellent video quality without the bulk of a full camera setup!

Love ❤️ Love my camera 📷. I use it for youtube and it's so easy to navigate and great quality and convenient

I expected more from DJI. The video quality is awesome and the features are great as well. The downfall is the ease of use. Switching modes such as between using the thumb joystick to control pan and tilt to controlling zoom is a bit of a PITA. Especially in bright light. The screen is small and difficult to see in sunlight. Which one might expect from an LCD but this is an action cam designed for outdoors. The biggest short coming IMO is the basic recording. I have pressed the record button only to find that it did not record. This has happened several times. Nothing is more frustrating than going back to look at that awesome footage only to find it's not there. Gone forever. If you only use it with the phone adapter then you might be able to avoid that. It is a great feature and makes controlling it much easier. However, I just found myself leaving the camera behind because if I was going to have to use my phone for it, I might as well just use my phone by itself. It's a neat little unit with great potential and if you don't mind fiddling with it or using it on your phone, Go for it. Like I said the video quality is awesome.
