DJI 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

I could not use the camera for a week because I couldn't activate it. It requires a USBC or Lightning port equipped phone to activate! I have an Android 8 LG V20 with a USBC port so I tried to use that. You can't download the DJI Mimo app from Google Play, you have to download it from DJI. Once I had the .apk I had no way to install it, clicking on the download launched a camera app to try to install it. Installed a file browser app and was able to use it to install the .apk file. Run the app, try to connect to the device (turned on and plugged into the USBC port) and it can't find it. I turn off Bluetooth on the phone and try again and it will not try to connect without Bluetooth, despite the fact I'm trying to connect via USB. Tried a new version of the Mimo app a week later, still didn't work. I have another Android phone but it has a microB USB port and no microB usb adapter is included. Realized I have an old iPad with a lightning port. Was able to install the Mimo app on it (again from DJI, not from App Store). Plugged in the camera using the Lightning adapter. The app pops up a dialog that says the app requires iOS 12, do I want to downgrade the app to a previous version? I choose Yes. Same dialog pops up again, and again, and again. I press cancel because it is obviously not going to try the downgrade. I try to activate the camera. A DJI account is required. I register an account. Success, I activated the camera! Does DJI even have a quality assurance team? Did anyone ever try this procedure at DJI. It is stupidly complex and limited in the devices it will work with. The camera will not even work out of the box without activation! It's a camera that won't be a camera until DJI authorizes it! The Mimo app, though it runs on the iPad and will connect to the camera via USB, can't be used with the camera, because the camera head hits the iPad when it turns. The camera app can only be used with a phone. Again, did anyone ever try this at DJI? What a poor user experience!

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 Osmo Pocket 2 is still an excellent portable camera, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned vlogger/content creator. It produces high-quality images and fits right in your pocket; even with the case on. The wrist attachment is a nice touch for convenience. I'd recommend getting a case for the extra attachments, though, as they’re small and could easily get lost. Also, definitely download the app; it makes reviewing footage and working with a bigger screen so much easier. I haven't toyed around with any of the settings and features as of yet, due to being able to capture the content I need with the standard settings. I can only imagine that it will only increase my positive review of this camera, so I definitely highly recommend!

Started glitching after a couple uses. The video has lines all over it

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!

I researched 4K camera's for YouTube content, that are easy to use and provide outstanding quality, and the DJI OSMO Pocket was a major contender. At first, I thought how can this tiny camera do anything spectacular, then after trialing it, I am eating my words. The stability and clarity is outstanding, along with the dolby sound recording in all directions from four microphones. I feel that the accessories, like the wide angle lens, ND filters and extension holder (out of stock) are a little pricey, yet I will be buying those too. I highly recommend this amazing little camera.

Como trabalho com audiovisual, estava em busca de uma terceira câmera para poder realizar trabalhos em multicâmera sem ter que gastar entre 4 e 7 mil reais numa mirrorless nova que gravasse em 4k. Esta DJI Pocket 2 caiu como uma luva, pois grava em 4k 60fps, possui uma estabilização fenomenal, permite gravar com ela estando ligada na tomada, e ainda ganhei uma câmera ultra estabilizada que substitui o uso de uma DSLR/mirrorless num gilbal em filmagens onde não se exige grande profundidade de campo. Além disso, após atualizar o firmware pelo app conectando o smartphone em sua lateral, a câmera ganhou vídeo em HDR e o modo story (vertical). Outro ponto positivo é a duração da bateria: gravei um show com a DJI num tripé em 4k mesmo com aviso de que ela poderia ficar superaquecida, resultando numa captação contínua por 1h40 minutos e ainda sobrou um pouco de bateria e não desligou por causa de seu aquecimento. Ela também possui outros recursos excelentes, como os diferentes modos de timelapse - particularmente o hyperlapse é espetacular, que é o timelapse com a câmera se movimentando lentamente para a direita ou para a esquerda. Também destaco o modo PRO, que permite acionar o Cine D-Like, modo de cores mais lavadas e com alto alcance dinâmico, perfeito para pós-produção em cinema ao aplicar LUTs na edição, sendo que seu perfil de cor se assemelha bastante com o C-Log da Canon e o F-Log da Fuji. Por fim, trata-se de uma legítima câmera de bolso, porém com recursos profissionais. Até mesmo filmando à noite e/ou com pouca luz o resultado é surpreendente. Para Vloggers, deve ser a câmera mais perfeita que existe, ainda mais se adicionar o Creator Combo - fica a dica!

It does everything I need it for the type of filming I do! Love all the accessories it can attach to!

Dji pocket 2 delivers an amazing image quality and stability . Great buy I would say. But only one con i found is of battery. Longer backup would have been an cherry on the cake. Otherwise its an awesome buy.

Es un gran dispositivo, buen precio aunque se puede encontrar una mejor promoción. De los problemas que presenta es que se calienta mucho y la batería es poca. A pesar de todo sigo considerando qué es una buena inversión para los amantes de grabación de video.
