I just ordered mine! This camera solves so many problems but people don't seem to be taking it seriously because it looks odd and unconventional. This thing is so underrated.
I've just got mine for my birthday today. =)) But I know what you mean. You almost feel as if you should have a bit of weight for your money. But in reality you are being relieved of weight for your money!
I took mine on a trip to the USA, I also had my Sony A7siii, guess which I used more, yep, the Pocket 2. I love it. Don't care if people think it's odd or whatever. :)
I love Peter's previews and reviews but not showing the Pocket 2 in use outdoors, with low light, and with dynamic conditions like running or bouncing around in a vehicle does explaining the product a disservice... the iPhone 12 camera review he just did is an example of one that really demos the capabilities.
Me too, how it blends with the mirrorless I think it's what could make the deal, as would be a killer B! Tight places, smooth transition from the A. Some reasonable low light (where you could work confortable with the mirrorless) so you don't have to light twice as much just for the B.
i can confirm that the size of your camera has little impact on the uncomfortableness of filming yourself (i’ve tried). Filming yourself in public/around other people is something you simply have to push through. The Osmo Pocket and a Canon R6 with a 16-35 lens feel near identical in terms of awkwardness (for me) 🤷♂️
@@onemorechris Not really in terms of filming myself ( something I'm still working through ) But in some places they don't allow you to have the camera on, on the tripod like you're filming, etc. It's stupid really but, thats life
@@kimslife_de Everyone seems to be saying that, but I'm not sure how they compare. Especially considering that the pocket 2 is like a third of the price of a 12 pro. And it also has a physical gimbal, which the 12 pro doesn't, so I think that even the stabilization would not compare. And the sensor is bigger on the pocket 2.
@@silbay why? Both are stabilized camcorders with front screens to keep in frame. Both have other strengths, but at their core they are very similar.....
Smaller sensors have more distortion and at the same angle as a gibber one and all action cameras have crappy rectilinear correction for the wide angles they often use.
It's my birthday and guess what my wonderful wife got me! (and it's this exact bundle!) Superbly comprehensive review thank you. I'll re-watch a couple of times before I start messing. My YT videos will never be the same! Yahoo!
Do you want to date me? Then I have to shatter your dreams: I am in a relationship with two hot women! They are also loyal subscribers of me, YT Megastar AxxL! Please don't cry, dear sta
I obtained 2 C-Stands from a roommate while moving to another place. The screw mount features a perfect screwin for a typical go-pro mount, put the DJ Osmo Pocket on that and swing that around a couple times. BOOM, Cinematic shots
I'm considering adding the pocket 2 to my gear, the gimbal for b roll, a behind the scenes vlogging to keep projects separate, and having a good camera and still have my iPhone to do iPhone stuff, seems like a winner
LMAO! at the hamster nuzzled in your neck. One of my favorite camera reviewers Casey over at camera conspiracies always has hamstaro lodged in his neck.
The upgrade isnt worth it for Osmo Pocket users. I was expecting them to give atleast 1 inch sensor on this, but no, wait for next year :DIm now waiting for Osmo Action 2, as its a long due now. *The combo I need is GoPro 9 and Osmo Action 2*
The main issue is space i guess. They aim for pocketable size while maintaining a decent quality. Maybe they should consider selling a normal version and a "PRO" version with bigger sensor and overall a bit bigger size.
1 inch sensor with built in gimble? It wouldn't be a pocket camera anymore or be called pocket. Nonetheless we are still getting a larger sensor and slightly brighter aperture which will help a good bit. Also the wider fov is appreciated as well as the better sound quality from the mics.
Too lofty a goal but I would have expected DJI to put the same sensor in the Pocket 2 as the Mavic Air 2 same as what they did with Osmo Pocket 1 and Mavic Air 1.
osmo action 2 is next year, fall 2021. New DJI product have 2 years life cycle. Forget the 1in, that will take few years. 1in = $$$ that's why gopro did not do 1in, insta360 can do it since they are the competitor to gopro, it's very expensive! But you buy it separately. Sony did it but they make that 1in sensor so they control cost to an extent but that camera is expensive. hero9 is expensive, image with a 1in sensor, that 599, 699$ camera!
Let’s take the tiny tripod, turn it into a propellor, turn the camera upside down- and boom! Spinny drone thing! You’re welcome, DJI. I’ll keep an eye out for the check in the mail.
when i saw that the DJI Osmo Pocket is being released i was like: are you guys kidding me?? you just released the DJI Osmo pocket 1 and i bought it. Then i realized we are in a pandemic where every day feels the same and its actually been 11 Months
Besides the autofocus hunting I thought this looked really good! Definitely would love to see more videos on this! The picture quality was pretty sweet.
My husband just got me this for Christmas (well just the camera) he will be buying the accessories as well he's been such a big supporter with my vlogging so I'm so excited to create new content
Hey I would definitely like more reviews on this camera Peter. As I want to start content creating and travel vlogs I see it as the perfect tool. Thanks for the video and top content as always bro.
Another you tube photographer uses the first one for his b roll all the time. I don't notice much of a pull back in quality of the footage. Fototripper is the the other you tube photographer if you want have an idea.
I still use DJI Osmo pocket earlier version and this one is 🔥🔥🔥 because they finally came up with their wide lens, was using Ulanzi wide lens which does the job but has blur on the corners of the screen. Also loved the case and mic 🙌
@@willw212 as far as I know they haven't released but with the launch of new DJI Osmo pocket seems like it'll be available now in the market. And yes I'm also waiting for it.
@@AskAW I'm doing everything from it you can say I being a dancer and filmmaker. I've shot many of my dance videos from this, some cinematics shots and lots of timelapse and hyperlapse. Please go through my channel and you can get the better idea 🌼🙌
Happy “Techtober” to you. The footage you got out of this device is VERY IMPRESSIVE. I would love to see more videos with you uses this camera. Your review and feedback really has me interested as buying this as a vlogging camera for me. I have an iPhone 8 and will NOT able to buy the new iPhone 12. However I am looking for a travel pocket camera, and this may be a possible solution for me.
I have the first osmo pocket and it's been my main vlogging camera for a couple of years. I love it! Intrigued by this one, buuuut not sure the upgrade is worth it ;)
More videos on the DJI Pocket 2 is exactly what I need. I have ordered it (creator bundle). I am just getting into video (72 years old). I see a long learning curve ahead and want to learn as much as I can about how to get good video from the Pocket 2.
@@yaboy_jose1745 Yep, me too. I have the Pocket 2 and the DJI OM 4 and iphone Xs Max. I'm gonna return the pocket 2. I love it but for me it makes better sense to stick with the phone.
We use the DJI Pocket (1) on most of our videos as a primary camera. Usually we are outside in unpredictable conditions so its small size is a real benefit. We've also gotten pretty good at framing up our subjects without having to attach a large screen (cell phone) to it! Thanks for doing this test, have been looking at maybe getting the Pocket 2 at some point.
I am seriously considering getting one. My smart phone camera isn't great because I have a phone built for industrial work. This would be great. Thanks For The Review!!
-Be honestly, would you like to use it for regular vlogging. It feels like the user has to compromise so many things such as image quality, zoom in zoom out, boker~~. The wireless mic seems useless. Rode can take all jobs done. I have followed Peter for years. I really like your shares. but I realized that you are making more and more advertising recently. I really want you to come back and share the advantages and disadvantages of the products with your personal prospects, a professional photographer.- You are the best. Thank you.
Camera companies know what they are doing by launching new gear 2 months before Christmas. With that being said, I’m not a fan of the DJI pocket series but I did just get the DJI Mavic Air 2 and did a review on my channel. I’m looking at the RED Kamodo next. My bank account is going to hate me 🤣🎥👌🏼
