DJI Osmo Pocket - Review after the Hype

[ricardorgomez]

You should make a commercial for DJI! Great video!

i always thought these devices were a bit gimicky and toy-like. But wow, I'm really impressed with the video quality, features and what I can tell, build quality. I think it's size is perfect when you want something easy to carry and want to remain discreet.

It's on my list but a bit down on it. But not at the top. While the device is quite inexpensive, price goes up very quickly when adding 'must have' accessories. For work reasons, it's one of those devices that could make life 'a good bit easier'. But can wait if you already have gear that gets the job done if only with a little less simplicity.

Thank you again for the great video!

This was a fantastic and thorough review! I really appreciate all the time you clearly spent making it. Well done Sir! Purchasing one today after your review! Along with those accessories.

Thanks for providing a long term review! It’s hard to find things that go beyond first impressions.

Your videos are always very informative and a pleasure to watch. Thank you!

I got the Osomo action and I must say the pocket is way more fun

[markshirley]

I see you can attach DJI Pocket to a smallrig cage, I've seen one attached to a A73. Does it do good 120fps.

I only have a Chromebook, could I manage with it for just basic footage (I'm no pro, just family stuff holidays etc) or can it all be done in the App?

Cheers

Great review. I recently purchased one of these and did my first filming session yesterday with it. I’m used to using a gimbal and a Hero 4 for sound quality and am looking forward to adding this to the pocket for easier filming while riding/blogging as well as on the fly B roll. First lesson learned was don’t carry it by the tripod and expect it to stay attached. 🤦‍♂️

How quick is the auto focus in a fast action environment?

[seandefreitas]

Brilliant review, thank you.
One question though. You mentioned the need for a camera lens protector, yet I fitted a generic one, not a Pgytech one, and found the magnetic ND filters were not strong enough to hold on with the protector fitted. Is that your experience?

[TimOnMain]

I'm currently deciding between the Pocket and the Action. Awaiting your review for the Action.

Very informative-enjoying your videos. But I’m surprised you like d-cinelike? It introduces a horrific amount of noise in picture don’t you find? Even on bright days in shade. So much noise. Do you get rid in post?

[DavidMcCabe]

Great video, but I was disappointed there was no, "Hello my friends..." ;)

[asprec]

Very comprehensive review. I made my decision to buy one because of it. Thank you.

What would you recommend if you want to use Osmo pocket with controller wheel and wireless transmitter for larger monitor

[TheBeggFamily]

Excellent summary video. I use my Osmo Pocket almost exclusively, only reverting to either my LX15 or G80 Panasonics for reliable close focussing or optical zoom.

[jadelee]

It’s too bad the control wheel doesn’t allow you to Zoom in on an object. Am I wrong?

[Ozpeter]

In this review and the other one on accessories, you don't mention the function of the right hand button on the controller wheel when it is held down. This locks the direction the Pocket is pointing in totally, until you let go of the button. This full lock function is not available in the app, so it's particularly handy to have it on the wheel.

saw other youtube reviews the Action experience lag so how is it a good vlog camera? (you mentioned in one of the comments below for vlog go for action)
