After more than a year with the DJI Pocket 2, it's no longer my top recommendation for a pocket gimbal camera.

Thanks for your honest and trustworthy re- review. I'm laughing because we had a little discussion about the tracking issue of the Pocket 2 a year ago. We'd agreed back then the Pocket 1's tracking was vastly superior. I'd assumed that by now DJI would have fixed the problem, but now I have the suspicion that the much wider field of view of the Pocket 2 lens is what makes it extremely difficult for them to fix it in the software - and not worth it for them to attempt fixing. Who can blame them? You're absolutely right! Just get the Pocket 1 at great discount - which is exactly what I did! I love it, and am elated! Your reviews and style are sterling stuff, btw.

Loved the opinion on this. I usually go for the latest assuming it to being the greatest but have been swayed to go with the DJI1. The music at the end was reminiscent of blade runners end scene in the rain, a pleasure to watch. Thanks

I've been enjoying the Pocket 2 as it is just right for my occasional filming. I would be interested if Pocket 3 comes out with bigger sensor.

Wow, thank you for saying about the whole sign up thing, I haven't seen anyone say about this! I hate how all companies nowadays just scramble for all your data. I just bought a second hand pocket 2 for £200 ($249) and I'm so excited about it! I really wanted the 3 but couldn't really justify the huge price increase as I'm only really buying it to record my time in Korea and Japan for a 6 week trip. So excited for it though and thank you for this review!

It’s so cool DJI created these tiny vlogging cameras. I’m actually very pleased with the Pocket 2’s camera quality. Love the sample footage.

I love the resonance of your voice. The timbre. Bloody brilliant

Thanks, you're the only one dealing with the fact that using the Osmo Pocket is conditional on the total opening of privacy. This is something the law should not allow, but companies do what they want. People have gotten used to it and most don't see anything unpleasant about it. People swear, but the desire for technology is stronger. Technology promises a kind of "freedom" and people willingly give up real freedom.
Canon also asks for access to location in their app, which doesn't make sense - Panasonic doesn't ask for location to operate the device, so it's not a technical necessity. But if no one cares and people buy and buy without criticism, then we will create a world full of technology that will deprive us of all privacy.

This reviewi is perfect and just in was about to purchase the Pocket 2 tomorrow on Amazon!! I've been going through reviews for days and this is the one I've been waiting for. Thank you for this!! Will purchase the Pocket 1 instead.

I still love my Pocket 1... thou I don’t use it very often but love the footage it captures... especially night time.

Thanks for this. I think I just might go with the pocket 1 then. Tracking is one of the critical features that I need for my type of work. Thanks for this honest review. Cheers!

The pocket 2 is way Superior in low light and that's enough for me to choose the pocket 2 over the one

So happy that I came across this video - I have the Pocket 1 and with all the buzz around the Pocket 3, I was thinking of buying the Pocket 2. Based on your video, I think I’ll just stick with my always reliable and cinematic looking Pocket 1. Glad you mentioned the cinematic aspect in your video. Keep putting out that sic content!

This was the one review I should have paid more attention to! I had my camera for about a week but have decided to return it. In order to access the videos on my phone you not only have to add the adapter but I also had to remove my phone from the case as it would not connect fully otherwise. I am just using a basic phone case. I found this to be one issue that I would regret keeping later on. There needs to be a Bluetooth sync to your phone to be of any real value. The stabilizer IS great and video quality is also very nice but the issues with practical use post recording were too much for me and I’ve returned the camera.

The Pocket 2 is my 2nd DJI device so I didnt mind the registration. Looking forward to Pocket 3 if it's really coming out this year.

I have had the Pocket 1 for three years now, and you couldn't pry it from my hands. it is hands down the best "B" roll wedding camera out there, in my opinion. I don't use it much for audio but oh man, the video is amazing. I'll pass on the 2. Lastly, I use my R5 and/or 5D MkIV if I need to bluetooth or WiFi, just transfer the files by inserting the Microsd card into an adopter, upload it in my canon, good to go!

When I follow your link to Amzn it's $239. If I Google the P1, I can get an Amzn link for $200. Everything is gamed these days. That aside: Maybe there is a tech plateau at work. I have a super cheap Yi Lite action cam. The footage is washed out compared to the Hero8 I recently bought. The Hero has great stabilization. The stabilization on the Yi actually is more interesting, not so fakey smooth. And I played with some filters on Shotcut and got a really nice look. So often people take 'progress' at face value. DJI can't fix the following mode. GP can't fix the heat. Really appreciate this video. Most reviews are marketing.
