DJI POCKET 2 (best settings)

When we talk about the best settings for a camera it's all very much a judgement call. The best settings for one person may not be the best settings for another person. When it comes to the DJI Pocket 2 there are some settings that will help you get the most out of your camera. In this video I take a look at some of the settings that I use to get the best possible footage.

Cheers,
Dave

Still very helpful in 2024...just purchased the pocket 2.

Good summary of some of the key settings. I'd recommend anyone new to the camera to explore the settings for the internal mics. You have three modes - front, front and back, and "all", and for each of those you can specify mono or stereo, wind noise reduction, and (as you mentioned) level. Each setting is good for particular scenarios. Use "front" for vlogging (by "front" it means "whichever way the lens is pointing" so if you use the selfie mode, "front" will mean the mics are pointing towards you and picking up less of the surrounding noise). Front and back might be good for interviews. And "all" is great for immersing the viewer in the full surround sound, for nature or travel video.

Thank you! Just bought a pocket 2 as the pocket 3 was out of my price range - had a play and love it thank you for posting this video.

I personally love the CineD option. It seems to give a better picture for post-processing low light situations.

Just got my pocket 2 today. Thanks for the help

[YoungBlaze]

Can you do a wind reduce noise test? Like how really good is this

[chillibb]

I really enjoyed this video as I just got the pocket 2 alone (upgrading from pocket 1), and you show to me that pocket 2 alone is quite good enough already, thanks!

I know this has nothing to do with anything... But....

I just bought a second hand Pocket 2. thanks for the tips. I think the battery is really bad on the 2, especially if you have the wifi/mike handle attached to it. I notice that the battery is even drained if you don’t use it at all. I like to have a pocket with me all time, but I would love for the battery to last a bit longer. I also love to shoot timelapses and I did one timelapse will a full battery and in less than an hour I had to stop the timelapse. I use my Pocket also to shoot the sky, because the 2 still has the 8 second exposure possibility. The Pocket 3 would be a better choice for normal use, but it has this stupid max 1 second exposure. WHY??? Sure hope the 4 will have the 8 seconds or more again :(

Oh and another thing, most times the 64 mp sucks. It’s so grainy. The 16 mp is the better choice I think.

Really helpful, thank you! Excited to try out the pocket 2 this weekend :)

You deserve a much more audience/subscribers.

The most asked question that I get online is, "what is the best settings for shooting with the Osmo Pocket or Pocket 2?" Well there are so many settings on this little camera that will help you get the most out of the camera. Hopefully this helps. Thanks for watching!

I got my Pocket 2 in the Creator Combo after my experience with the older OP. DJI do give a fair deal in their packages and the savings are sweet, but in the case of the Creator Combo, I’d go so far as to say that you’ll get the 2 most wanted Pocket accessories out there and that’s the Wireless Mic and the Do-It-All handle. These 2 items more than made up for the price difference. It’s enough to get me into the YouTube gadget review game😄

I want to start vlogging walking around cities. Can i just use auto mode? Or do i really need to use manual pro mode. Great videos btw thanks

[legendaryadventures]

Nice easy walkthough. We had some pretty good low-light results shooting in x8 slowmo at the local skate park. Taking it out for more testing today. All-in-all, though - this is a great little cam,

[RyanLogan]

great footage and review! will definitely be getting this soon. I love my bigger cameras but this would make it easier to travel and also go on hikes with. the image quality is astounding for such a little thing.

Thanks for the video. Learned a lot more about using the Pocket 2. You talked about an audio adapter at the end. For external microphone(s). Which do you use? Thanks ahead. Greetings, Onno. (From the Netherlands)

Do you ever use ND filters when shooting timelapse? Can you set the shutter speed for each frame of the timelapse?

[topicruben]

Great advice and awesome filming man. I’m part of your community now. Thanks and keep rocking 👊

Hey Dave. Great video. A lot of familiar places in your B roll. You live in centertown? I have the same camera and run/walk where you were shooting every day!
