I've alway been intrigued with videography and wished I started this years ago but I finally purchased my first DJI spark a few months ago and loved the endless capabilities of capturing life's moments! And after watching your videos I will soon be a proud owner of the DJI Osmo Pocket in a few days, thank you for the informative video's and keep them rolling I'm going to need all the tips & ticks to improve my videography skills :)

Really good vid, I've had the pocket for about 3 weeks now and love it. Haven't used it much yet but plan on getting into it more. I agree with you about the not have a wrist strap or tripod mount, those were the first things that went through my head as well.

Great review thanks for sharing. You pretty much summed up the Osmo Pocket pretty well. It's ok for certain video/vlogging styles. I'll be sticking to my GoPro Hero 7 Black for the time being because of it's durability and versatility. Totally agree re the wrist strap. Cheers.

Thanks, Sir for making awesome content for us 💖

After watching the entire video you do make a great point on who uses this device... last year we had the dji mobile and used it often till I got tired of it because when you have the extension stick and tripod foot mount... the osmo mobile becomes a little bigger than what we want... gave that to my kids... now this comes out and the size if perfect...

[conleychristensen]

Great vid. I have an Osmo Pocket and I am impressed so far. I am also new to all this and would love to hear more tips from you how to use it. Your vids are a great teaching tool and you teach well.

[chuckdurbin]

Great VIDEO! I agree about the tripod mount and the wrist strap. I think they had their head in the clouds on that.

I got an Osmo Pocket earlier today and I'm very impressed with its performance and functionality.To me this is a legitimate B-roll monster.

While watching this video I had it on face tracking - tracking your face - and had a play with it. It worked great.

Next week I'll be shooting an indie music video largely with a Moza Air 2 gimbal and Fujifilm X-T3, and plan to supplement the footage with B-roll and slow motion sequences from the Osmo Pocket.

Perfect. Point by point!! Hi from Brazil!!!

[Maine_Focus]

Absolutely the best review I’ve seen out there. More and more I truly appreciate your channel and glad I subscribed.

[russellschundler]

Agree there should be a wrist strap connection directly on the camera. Also agree that the best camera is often the one you have with you. I have the "pocket" with me all the time and am capturing content I would never take the time to capture in the past. Finally, agree the VERY BEST FEATURE of the OSMO Pocket is the fact that it is so small that no-one notices you when you are filming. You can get people acting naturally vs. staring at, or posing for, the camera. There is nothing on the market that is so small and inconspicuous ... that's a big deal!

[tchimo]

yeah I'm really waiting for accessories like lenses to get a wider view as you said. But it could be great to have a wide lens that integreat "nd filters", like a 2 in one lens. and what about underwated accessories?

[EstimatingTakeoff]

Excellent review. I think the biggest takeaway was your comment about taking something with you or not to video. The extreme portability with all the features you outlined makes this a no-brainer. Thank again.

[msmith]

lots of info. Happy 2019 Thank you for caring about us

[jamilsolomon]

Nice review as always. Loved the comparison aspect. Just bought the DJI Mobile not too long ago and from the day I got it I've been thinking it was too big for what I wanted to do. Have been thinking about exchanging it for the GoPro gimbal but having second thoughts now.

[samphotoyt]

I completely agree about the size being king. I had a shoot in Hawaii last week and my camera kit shrunk considerably since the last trip. I just to travel with an I2, 5D mk4 and lots of lenses but no more. Instead it was a GH5, several tiny lenses, M2 pro and the Osmo Pocket and though there are some compromises, overall having everything in one backpack was killer considering the hiking and moving around we had to do.

[T-Slider]

Fantastic review! You got a like, subscribe, and bell alert. I have one, it’s my first video camera. It is a fun to use little cam!

[BushcraftMo]

great stuff came here from think media link to get more info looking for something to make hidden walking video i think this could be just the job, unless there's something you could recommend that might suit walking making video with hidden recorder

[konasc]

Awesome review, went out and got it after watching reviews like yours and I love this camera. Yes there are improvements DJI should make, but for now, like the wide angle lens adaptor, I can still live with this product! Mahalo for your videos, keep um coming!

[marcodickel]

Wow, awesome informative video. I really like you pointing out the small yet important shortcomings at release day as well as overall misses.
Nevertheless I also love the Osmo Pocket and carry it with me anywhere I go.
Keep your great reviews up; am looking forward to the next one.
