I accidentally used 4K 60p Pocket 2 footage at 5.18 which has a bit worse image quality than 25p. Please don't use that clip for image quality comparison.

I have had my Osmo Pocket for a month now and I love it, one of my best purchases ever. I made a 20 minute video walking through my house with it and edited it on iMovie and it was dead easy. I bought the control stick for it and a case that fits it with the control stick on and it’s perfect.

Great comparison! At some stage I'd like to get the Pocket 2. I passed on the Osmo Pocket as it didn't suit my requirements but the new model seems to be quite an improvement.

Thank you for sorting the audio, DJI. If I can't plug in a decent mic with a wind-protection, any camera is a non-starter.

I'll admit, I initially didn't see enough difference to justify "upgradig" to the Pocket 2, but this comparison has persuaded me that because I can use so many of my existing accessories, the additional features that suit vlogging like the improved stabilization make adding the pocket 2 to my camera bag a realistic option.

Thank you for your good summary and comparison. This has now helped me to make the right buying choice.

Love your informative reviews. I got the original Osmo pocket when it just came out and really liked the concept (vs action cameras). Going on a longer trip soon and probably getting the new Pocket 2 for that.

I find that the DJI Osmo Pocket and Pocket 2 have a much better camera than the GoPro Hero 8 and Hero 9. I had used both GoPro Hero cameras in a test. The video quality was anything but good. There was a lot of blurring and noise. Other settings, such as 2.7K or 1080p, were also unsuccessful. In the same test, I also had the two Pocket cameras. But there you have real 4K. No image noise, no blurring and the recordings are not split every 5 minutes, as is the case with the GoPros. The battery in the Osmo Pocket also lasts longer than in the GoPro. I know that the GoPro is an action camera and the DJi is a gimbal camera, but nevertheless the GoPro should also record in the quality that is stated on the packaging or on the website. Unfortunately, I had extremely blurry images with a lot of noise in every video and things got even worse in ultra wide angle mode.

Thanks for this and for sharing. You just changed my life, I had never heard of this little beauty until now.
It seems to solve my personal requirements for a great camera and vlogging combo. Great video 👍 Amazon here I come.

Thanks, and also for mentioning that the 1.3x crop is really good, im thinking of getting the pocket 1 + wide angle lens but pocket 2 with 1.3x crop seems much better.

100 mins of 4K video on a single charge sounds pretty good! I have been using my GoPro Hero 8 as my walking camera, but I am just not very happy with its video quality; and what you have shown in your videos look more impressive.

Great comparison. Just a question, do you still recommend the pocket 1 for 150€ in 2022 to record walking tour or do you think it is better an iPhone 11 Pro Max installed on a mechanical gymbal? Thanks

[MrEditorsMusic]

I've seen your iPhone 12 Pro vs Pocket 2. I would be interested to see how big the difference is between the iPhone 12 Pro Max and Pocket 2. Have you thought about comparing them in a video?

[bbb]

Thank you for a very detailed review! I noticed that at 11:42, the image of DJI Pocket 2 got very blurring on the right side. Do you think this is due to the 1.3x zoom making the image quality worse?

[joelnormann]

great video! One big difference which you didn't mention is price... Probably the main reason I am more likely to consider the original pocket.

[vklama]

Hi, Which one is good for traval and i am looking for good one..can you give me suggestion which one is best to buy...

[siddharthapadhy]

Here in India, pocket costs 190 USD and pocket 2 costs 500 USD. I just bought the former one.

Great video i love the osmo pocket for making travel videos

[Mohamed-newx]

Happy to see Marrakech my home town in your videos <3

Hey my friend, have you tested any on the competitors versions of the pocket gimbal? I wonder which seems to be the most capable for a cinematic style shooting?
-Thanks
