Good but battery issues
Temperature of battery after 2 min. feels like battery will blast
Otherwise Good produc
First of all, let’s talk about the design. The DJI Pocket 2 is sleek and compact, making it easy to carry with you wherever you go. And despite its small size, it feels incredibly sturdy and well-built. I love how it fits perfectly in the palm of my hand, which makes it easy to maneuver and control while I’m filming.
Now, let’s get to the fun stuff – the features. This little camera has some serious capabilities. It shoots high-quality video and stills, and even has built-in stabilization that rivals some of the best gimbals on the market. I love how I can just whip it out of my pocket and start filming in seconds, without having to worry about lugging around a bunch of bulky equipment.
And let’s talk about the camera’s versatility. It has a variety of shooting modes, including panorama, timelapse, and slow motion, which means I can use it for a wide range of creative projects. And the autofocus is lightning-fast, which means I never miss a shot. It’s truly a joy to use.
Finally, let’s talk about the most important thing – the results. The footage I’ve shot with the DJI Pocket 2 is nothing short of stunning. The colors are vibrant, the details are sharp, and the stabilization is incredibly smooth. Whether I’m shooting a vlog, capturing footage of my travels, or just playing around with some creative ideas, this camera delivers every time.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for a portable, powerful camera that delivers stunning results, look no further than the DJI Pocket 2. This little device is a true game-changer, and I cannot recommend it enough. Whether you’re a professional filmmaker or just someone who loves to capture life’s moments in stunning detail, the DJI Pocket 2 is the perfect tool for the job.
I used the slow-mo function quite a bit on my shoot, as well as the time-lapse mode. Time lapse has a cool function whereby it pans the camera from side to side when capturing. Video can be captured in 4k at 60fps, still images are 16Mpx and pretty good quality.
Overall, and excellent camera.
This Osmo is super amazing. easy to use and has multiple functions that will cover any vlogging/ travel filming needs. its super small so will go undetected and keeps the eye off you. Can be very useful in situations where permits are needed. Interms of the simple its amazing too. the audio quality with the external mic is super good too.. Over all amazing purchase
Very compact size and comes with all the accessories you will need (except an sd card). Records good quality images.
Absolutely love this camera and the quality is still better than most phones!
I had one before the Mk1 which was stolen by an engineer in my house ! beware…. the Mk2 is certainly a better upgrade … not used the zoom yet but quality and smooth function is a big plus….
This thing is the most amazing camera I’ve bought. The 4K Video recording and picture quality is second to none. The ’tilt lock’ and ‘follow’ functions are also top notch. I ran down the street with it recording, and when I put the footage in my laptop, there was no shaking etc. The footage was completely still. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is into action cameras.
The only downside is that it isn’t waterproof so be very careful in the rain etc.
4k 60, great video quality, fantastic sound from 4 microphones. I’ve got a YouTube channel called Conrad Walks and I film with the pocket 2 and I cannot recommend it enough. Gimbal and a camera in a compact package. I love i
Absolutely love it, great for vlogging, links well with drone footage. So small and discreet you don’t look like a wally setting up huge shots, the app is intuitive
Only gripe would be iPhone, better working with android so you can swap out SD cards
I was sceptical of this camera and half expected I’d want to return it, but I quickly realised how great it was. I love the Bluetooth microphone. It makes it easy to record interviews and scenes when you don’t want to be near the camera.
Stabilisation is good and it’s so compact, making it easy to travel with. The video struggles with bright skies compared to an iPhone, leaving the sky overexposed on a sunny day, but that’s a small price to pay for the other benefits
I started using a 64GB SD card then purchased a 128GB, which gives me about 2 hours or recording in 4k/30fps mode. One thing to be aware of with this camera as it does not like water, so don’t take it out in the rain or where it can get splashed – get a GoPro for that! All in all I love this camera and would highly recommend.
It’s unobtrusive, fits in a pocket (hence the name) and takes pretty decent footage. The best thing is that it’s ready to use in a couple of seconds from pushing the power button. The various gimbal modes are useful and the included accessories in the creator kit make it a very useful setup for video and vlogging (although I don’t use it for the latter).
I would recommend getting some form of handle which can provide charge and hold both the camera and a phone. Whilst this makes the setup a bit more bulky, the ability to see the image on a larger screen is a real bonus, especially bright light.
The app works well – in fact better than some of the apps for my way more expensive cameras. You can change all of the camera settings from the app a lot easier than trying to use the fiddly touch screen. The camera touch screen is not really made for my size fingers.
When shooting in 4k the camera can get quite warm to the point of hot, but I’ve never had it shut down on me yet.
I have added a couple of Freewell mist filters that compensate for the slight over sharpening that you find on most DJI products, including their drones. Why they don’t allow you to adjust the sharpening is beyond me, particularly when there is a D-cinelike profile for colour grading.
Low light performance isn’t the best with quite a bit of noise but what can you expect given the sensor size but it’s still passable for YouTube content.
Battery life is fair and, as mentioned above, a charger handle means the camera can be used for hours.
What else? It’s not waterproof so don’t expect this to replace an action camera. The face track functionality is very handy and works well and the included wireless mic in the creator combo is very useful and has decent sound quality if not the best range. The in camera sound is also very acceptable.
One of the best things is that it doesn’t look like a camera so you can use it in situations where a larger camera or phone may be obtrusive.
An expensive piece of kit, but when you use it you see what you are paying for, excellent video and photos, and the usual top of the range DJI 3 axis gimbal
I’m a full-time wedding videographer and find this really good, image quality is great in daylight, indoors its passible, just don’t do quick movements, work at a pace and you will get Stella smooth action shots. It’s all about learning how to use it before slagging it off like others here.
used this for our first holiday for 4 years , went to madeira and took some fantstic footage , its so small and the stabilistation works perfectly . you realy can get cinema grade footage from this unit
buy a large sd card or two and get filming
its a fantastic bit of ki
Very misunderstood features
The osmo pocket 2 is basically a drone camera on a portable battery stick.
It has the features of a drone camera with added functionality of a action camera with 3 axis gimbal stability.
Being a drone camera it has to be activated using an app and photos transferred using a sd card with adapter.
Like all drone cameras and drones it heats up a lot so I bought the sunset white to cool it down.
Drone gimbals are fragile.
Pros
It’s a excellent beginner video camera
low light shots are impress produce true to colour indoor shots rather than the orange yellow haze you find on most cameras.
Picture quality is 12mp but increased to 48mp
Time lapse and motion lapse capability through the dji app and screen.
Portable pocket sized
Features such as Dolly shot glamour effects are activated through phone
Gimbal fpv follow and tilt lock is perfect
The blue tooth stick enables to add on microphones
Robust
Cons
Screen is small can’t tell if the photo is good or not
Battery life is poor but it’s a very small battery to make it portable just kart did about an hour at best
To make it better you have to spend a lot on accessories.
Magnetic attachment for nd filters is weak.
Accessories to enhance the osmo pocket2
The syma tree 5000mah battery charger handle increases battery life with tripod
The free well wide angle lens with nd filters is an ingenious piece of kit as the nd filters fit inside the lens
Mobile phone and osmo pocket 2 hoddle you can use together as a combination.
With the nd filters the picture quality is vastly improved
entirely unimpressed by the overheating problem.
Essentially ony usagble for short clips – forget for any “creator” use indoors where you will constantly run into overheating problems, even when not shooting in 4K.
Very disappointes since the “creator package” suggests this is fit for purpose, where it actually is only usable for short clips. More for the tiktok-creator if anything.
Gibal stabilzation and video quality is good, but what is that good pfr when you have to wait after 20 min. of shooting another half an hour for the camea to cool down?
So much in so little. Truly amazing for its size. Brilliant video and still picture capabilities. Took a while to get used to the button pressing sequences. Good gimbal stabilizer.
Great little product. Much easier to use than go pro if you have big hands. The screen is clear and bright in strong sun light. Easy to pick up and use from scratch.
Used this around petra for pictures and the video modes are also easy to use and switch between.
The battery life could be better, but given the size, weight and quality this is a small compromise.
Otherwise this is a good allinone product as one of my friend using it taking nice cinematic videos.
I’m still learning how to use it properly but so far I’m really loving this camera. It has excellent video picture quality even at 1080p and the gimbal feature gives you very steady, professional quality shots. The fact that the camera lens is on the end of a small body means you can get inventive shots that you couldn’t get with a conventional video camera.
After owning the first Osmo Pocket, I decided to upgrade to this as with the additional do it all handle, the wireless audio and improved wider lense, it made complete sense for me to upgrade.
The quality of this little camera is amazing, 4K is crisp and clear and the audio perfectly clear. The actual mic is so small and even smaller than a rode wireless go.
For someone like me who wants to make quick videos on the go but have amazing quality and near perfect audio this ticks every box. It’s super small and compact, fits nicely in my pocket and ready in an instant with no lengthy set ups, additional items to add or manage and so makes the editing process a dream.
Don’t delay if you are in the fence, you won’t be disappointed!
Having had a gimbal for a while I was curious as to what this could bring to the party. Well first of it’s easier to carry around and the quality of the videos is excellent. The forum is excellent with loads of tips and good advice so well worth signing into on the DJI site. Have used it a number of times now and we’ll pleased with the results. I used it to make training videos and interviews on the move.
I use mirrorless cameras for video and am a photographer also. Sometimes however you just want something small that slips in a small messenger bag that can do absolutely everything. The sound from the wireless mic is superb so that solves a lot of problems. The video quality is pretty remarkable when in good light. When in crazy light you will need nd filters if you’re using pro mode and want to customize your own settings but that’s par for the course. Overheats a tiny bit when recording 4k but has never shut down yet. DJI are a great company and I’m happy to support them with my custom. Overall a great and unabtrusive way to record video outside with great sound.
Perfect for capturing those key moments. Light, durable, portable. You get so much in such a small package. As tech goes, I’m hard pressed to think of anything better. It will improve your Youtube videos, and inspire you to delve deeper in terms of production values. The microphone is very discerning, and the range of tricks up its sleeve is remarkable. As you might have guessed, I’m a fan!!!
I upgraded from the original Osmo Pocket. The Pocket 2 Combo is definitely the one to go for with all the extras, including do it all handle, wireless mic, wide angle lens, mini tripod etc. Camera and gimbal are great too. I leave the do it all handle connected all the time as it’s not the easiest to remove.
Worth the upgrade? Yes!
I bought this for content creation. The design is great as it’s lightweight and small. The wireless mic is great and I’ve used it every time I’ve done a PTC shot. The video quality is acceptable considering it’s size. The are tons of great features on this camera like motion time lapses. Overall, I am very happy with this product and would buy it again.
2nd time perfect.
1st one had slop in the yaw axis bearing straight out the box.
Amazon were brilliant and sent a replacement same day.
That one was perfect.
Very happy with results and Amazon’s service which you can’t fault!
As a YouTube blogger the Osmo pocket 2 as all the features I require. This little device is a game changer excellent features easy to use. Coupled with the Wi-Fi enabled microphone it is everything I’ve been looking for I have not been disappointed
This little camera is exceptionally good and makes the cheaper ones available look like a waste of money. It does everything it is meant to do superbly and does not disappoint. Sure you will find some users grumbling, but that is what you come to expect, given human nature. However I have no complaints and the creative combo makes it my go to camera for 99% of my photography since purchase.
I only use my phone for WhatsAapp pictures now. The gimble and it’s options are the game changer!
Just like all DJI stuff it is top quality and very well thought out….. I now keep it in my pocket all of the time I leave the house.
The video quality of this camera has taken me by surprise, with practice and good shooting technique it can give you results above expectation for price and size. The creator bundle is a must I think, worth the extra money without a doubt. Bit of a shame it didn’t come with any ND filters though because ND filters are a must as it doesn’t deal well with highlights. Another slight negative is that when switching off the camera lens doesn’t always stay hidden and protected and it’s a fiddle to get it to stay where it should be. Maybe it’s a fault with mine? For the above it was enough to drop a star, otherwise I wouldn’t have hesitated to give 5 stars.
The Pocket 2 tempted me where the original Osmo Pocket didn’t, because it has a wider, brighter lens and a bigger sensor, and all the other things you can read in the description. I’m probably not going to use it for vlogging, but it now seems to me to be almost the ideal compact camera for that. I want it to make fun videos that have a cinematic quality, and it does that really well. I wanted it to do things my phone can’t too, and it scores there too.
It feels weird to use at first after a regular video camera. You have to get used to how slowly the stabilised lens follows you when you turn the camera (you can change the speed though) — this is to smooth out your movements and make sure your video is super smooth, and it almost always works. Especially if you work with the camera. Despite the tiny size, which makes you doubt its capabilities, video is creamy smooth and stable and cinematic, even if you’re a bit clumsy. And there are plenty of fun modes like slow motion and hyperlapse to play with. Watching YouTube videos about gimbal moves helps.
Video is very sharp and clean, especially in 4K mode. It really looks good, and from what I’ve seen online, is much better than a GoPro 9 (a possible alternative) in low light. It’s very usable in dim conditions. Focusing is generally quick and unobtrusive, exposure changes handled well. Sound from the four built-in microphones is decent, and if you buy accessories you can connect other microphones.
Still photos are a bonus. Panoramas (which look perfect otherwise because it’s the gimbal that moves not you) don’t turn out as high-res as I expected though you can stitch together the original full-size images (which it saves) yourself in Photoshop or whatever. The regular 16MP photos look fine, but the 64MP shots are really detailed and usable. You can even shoot in raw. Even so, I doubt I’ll use this much for stills.
You have to understand the three modes to use the camera successfully. FPV mode lets you tilt the camera up, down, side to side, however you want. Follow mode keep the lens level but lets you point the camera up and down. Tilt-Lock keeps the camera pointing forward horizontally no matter what, which is good for low or high shots. You can use the little joystick to move the lens around, or for the digital zoom. There are several shortcuts you need to learn like double clicking a button to recenter the lens. There are some great videos on YouTube that will help get you started.
The touchscreen has several shortcuts you also need to learn but I soon found my way through the simple menu system. Changing settings is easy enough. The screen is sharp but tiny. You can use your phone’s screen as a viewfinder and download video and photos onto your phone to edit or share. I’m not sure I like using the two things connected together with just a tiny connector though.
You have to register the Pocket 2 to use it. And connect it to a phone or tablet. I connected mine to my iPhone and it upgraded the firmware. It all worked well for once, but you do have to do this and give DJI your email address to use the camera. If you don’t it will lock you out.
The unboxing experience, if you’re into that sort of thing, is very pleasant. The camera is beautifully made and feels like a precision instrument. The delicate gimbal head means it’s neither tough nor weatherproof however.
I got the standard kit. If you want to do more there are plenty of accessories, like the do-it-all handle with wireless microphone etc. Or the extra wide angle lens, and ND filter kit. The standard kit at least lets you attach a tripod.
There are a few things I don’t like. The power button is in a poor position. Too easy to press by mistake when you’re handling it or putting it into the case. And the case — it’s a very tight fit and awkward to get out in a hurry. To connect your phone you have to remove the ‘joystick’ controller module, which is quite stiff, and slide it out. If you’re not careful, it pops out and onto the floor. Then you slide in the connector for your phone. They store inside the case, but you’d have to be really careful doing this outside. Follow mode is great when it works, but it’s a bit flaky; perhaps they will improve that with a firmware update. And the battery is built-in so you can’t pop in a spare. DJI claims 140 minutes use on one charge, but that will vary depending on your settings. I think I’ll need to take the cable and a powerbank with me. It also gets a bit hot in use, but that’s to be expected. The wrist strap may to too tight a fit if you have large wrists.
But mostly I like this DJI Pocket 2 a lot. It fulfils my brief pretty well — it’s small, fun to use and gives great, sometimes amazing results.
Is it perfect? No. There are several issues which need addressing, either via software updates or in the next model
1. The menu system. Illogical and badly thought out. It is one of these where you ask “Do I press button A or B twice or three times or do I have to swipe the screen up, down or left and look for a sub menu.?” Needless to say there is quite a steep learning curve and if you leave it on the shelf for a month or two you will have to re-learn it all when you pick it up again.
2. The Mimo App whilst good in itself adds another layer of confusion. It has all the functions available but it uses a totally different menu system to the camera itself – another layer of confusion.
3. The method of connecting the camera to a phone is poor. It looks good on paper but involves hanging the entire weight of your phone on the power plug which is connected to the camera. Needless to say it risks damaging you phone and with the slightest movement loses the connection – not good. Connecting wirelessly is a better option and it works well with my iPhone 11+.
4. Of particular annoyance is that it is impossible to download 4K videos to an iPhone using either the physical connector or wireless. The micro SD card has to be taken out of the camera and be inserted into a desktop/laptop. Otherwise the videos will be converted to 1080 during download.
5. The functionality of the camera reduces as you shoot in higher quality, presumably due to processor limitations. At 1080 resolution all functionality is available, however as you go up through 2.7K and 4K many features become ” Unavailable at this resolution”.
I am still happy with the item overall.
