I Shot a Wedding on the DJI Pocket 2 

same

Agreed

Same

+1

Right 👍

I would suggest shooting in 4K. And 60fps with a 180° shutter. But! If you want to get more light coming in shoot 30 with a 180° shutter. That will get you more light coming in with the image falling apart

Thank you!!! Just a hodgepodge set up 😂 but hey! I think it looks alright! 😊

Damn can you imagine if they could make a Pocket with the same tech from the Mavic 2 Zoom??!

Is there a way I set it up on my camera with a cage? Would love to use it simultaneously with tone of my camera bodies. Thank you.

@@BeniiHanaa yes you could. There are mounts for it that provide you with a 1/4 inch thread at the bottom, then you could mount it to anything. Are the cameras going to be stationary? If not you would need to keep track of 2 compositions at all times, unless you use the tracking feature on the pocket

I love the audio options of the pocket 2! The creator combo is awesome for that, one of the main reasons I bought it. Audio is the most important part of videos! And sound design is fun! I truly dislike the word cinematic now haha

I was shooting in manual, 60 frames per second, shutter speed 1/120, and varying ISO. 800-6400 I think

I used Manuel settings! 60fps 1/120 shutter and iso 1600. Used the flat picture profile.

@@Lancelotclarke how about the focus?

@@Lancelotclarke did you slow it on post and what fps in timeline?

I have to do the same thing! The way the camera folds together on shut down doesn’t allow for you to keep the wide angle on. It is nice that when you power off, it gives you a second to remove the wide angle before it folds together, but very annoying you need to remove it after every use 😕

mine have the same issue when wide angle is attached it vibrates and switch to protection mode. also when turning off the wide angle clash as well on the gimbal.

hope they have a fix on this coz i cant really use the wide angle due to the vibrating issue.

@@undee6299 if you are having vibrating you might need to calibrate the gimbal when you put the wide angle? Unless you have already tried this!

already done that the vibrating issue on the wide angle lens attached starts when the pocket 2 started to heat up either when charging or continously using it. already sent it back to local store where i bought it they said theyll send it back to dji and request for a replacement asap.

Thank you so much! Low light it will be hard to use professionally, and with the limited lens option it makes your shots fairly limited. Depending on what you are doing, you can for sure use it professionally, if you are just starting out it’s a great start out camera. Especially due to the audio options.

As for settings, honestly the auto settings are really good! I do suggest following the 180° shutter rule, and ideally keeping the iso as low as possible

@@Lancelotclarke WHAT IS CAUSING TERRIBLE FOOTAGE LIKE THIS? ZERO DETAILS,SHAKEY,BLURRY..JUST SO BAD? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bs5xFUmTyHM.html&lc=UgyhtuCXbk3Yb6Vs88h4AaABAg.9Ikc5DFpPh09IlQRhzhA-y

I would 100%. Only issue comes up in low light, but everything else about it is great for travel and vlogging

@@Lancelotclarke so for low light what other options available while travelling?

It’s mostly something just to be mindful of! But if you want something that performs better in low light, a camera with a bigger sensor size would be the way to go.

@@Lancelotclarke thanks for your response. I know the fact that bigger sensor works well that is why they have increased the size in pocket 2, it has bigger sensor than osmo and go pro 9. I thought it should work well in night time but you think otherwise.

@Digital Ali True. Even i have been using it for last 10 months for my vlogs even at night time. In case you are doing any professional work Its better to use dslr.

Yes!!!!! I completely agree!!! It should be way more about the end product, and that you can meet the clients needs. It’s unfortunate that people base so much on the look of how it’s filmed rather than what you can achieve. This is an amazing start off camera! As long as you further your creative skills and create dope videos that meet what the client wants it shouldn’t matter what you use. The main issue with not looking super kitted out is the aspect of payment, if you are just starting out and aren’t charging $1000s there shouldn’t be any questions. Once you grow and want to start charging more your gear should start justifying why you charge so much. I have a base amount that I charge that basically covers the wear and tear on my equipment when using it. A “rental” fee if you will. And then my time is charged on top of that. This covers you as a videographer for when you need to buy new equipment.

@@Lancelotclarke Awesome! thank you

Only as a secondary camera. Low light and only a wide angle is a big limitation, but you can make any camera look good given a little creativity.

@@Lancelotclarke wide angle is a big limitation ??? you mean wide angle will make u trouble for making video ???

@@yosefkhaledi wide angle only. Shooting details is a little trickier with only wide angle and shooting people can cause distortion I found. But it really comes down to style and what look you are going for, I like shooting a mix of wide and zoomed in, so for my style I don’t recommend it. But like I said with a little creativity you can for sure make it look good.

@@Lancelotclarke thanks a lot, i hope it would be help me for my reason . but zoom dslr cameras are my favorite choose , i hope it would be my best and not my end . :V :XD

I do like him! He’s got a cool aesthetic! And I’ve been wearing rings since I was little and they can be cheaper then just getting more tattoos haha

RU-vid compression is the worst!!! Drive me crazy seeing the drop in quality

@@Lancelotclarke How do you avoid the drop in quality?

@@miguelbetamax usually when I export my footage I will export it as a h.264 compressed file, which is the RU-vid compression format if I remember correctly! That way RU-vid isn’t compressing it as much when I import it, but honestly sometimes RU-vid just messes it up so bad. This happens a lot more when there are a lot of smaller elements in a video or a lot of things happening, RU-vid just can’t handle it.

@@Lancelotclarke I've seen very loaded videos (like MKBHD videos) but quality is still good. There has to be a way to get it right.

@@miguelbetamax Sometimes with RU-vid videos they just won’t maintain quality. Lots of creators have talked about this on there socials and I’m mostly referencing what I’ve learned from them. Best solution is to upload a h.264 file. It should maintain quality, but RU-vid isn’t always reliable.

I exported as a H.264 file seemed to help a lot

@@Lancelotclarke what are your other settings for exporting ?

@@tbdvlogs3118 I typically export in whatever frame rate I shot in. 60fps footage I would export as 60 FPS. Same with resolution, normally 1080p. H.264 compression. What program are you using for export?

@@Lancelotclarke I’m using Final Cut Pro. I’ve been filming in 4K 30 FPS still looks blurry. What do you recommend doing ? Should I try 4K 60fps ? Or 4K 24fps or should I do 1080 p and export it in 4K ? I’ve heard that somewhat helps

@@Lancelotclarke so ima try to film in 1080 p and 60 FPS or should I do 24fps ? And then ima export it as if it was 4K. I’ve heard that works some how lol

No mate. Do NOT USE THIS FOR WEDDING. YOU WILL LOSE RESPECT AND PEOPLE WILL LOOK DOWN. THEY ARE PAYING YOU TO SHOOT ON BIGGER EQUIPMENT

@@sadiqandnature I’m agree I this scenario is important to show a nice gear as well

Though I see your point I feel like a couple might not want their private moments out there for everyone. Besides he shares some footage from it just nothing too revealing.

Hey! I don’t know if you already found the answer to this or jumped to get the Pocket! But I will say that yes, for this style of video I think the pocket would be great! It would struggle in lowlight, but this would work well I think. It all comes down to your creativity! The nice thing about that style of video is it shows a lot of the environment which the wide angle works well for! So yea jump into it! Good luck!!

@@Lancelotclarke Thanks Lancelot, I appreciate you getting back to me! I actually did get one to start messing around with!

I mean have to disagree some. The artistic vision is 100% important. Even how Lance mentions that he had to think ahead about cropping in post. That’s only something you learn from doing this type of work professionally

@@KJAYG yes, But not all photographers have that and some people that are not photographers do... they just need to grab the camera and mess with editing... If you like movies, drawing or music... Chances are you'll make good compositions...
