The only person I could find that actually goes through the camera options and then showed us selfie mode! That’s an awesome feature

Special like for the t-shirt. Oh boy I used to listen to that band all day every day

Just ordered the Pocket 2 with the creator kit and this video I think will help immensely. Thanks for the info and short cuts.

Thank you for this video! I recently got a DJI Pocket 2 and am loving the camera. This video was very helpful as I learned a few things that I did not previously see. Specifically, changing the on-screen scrollbar from zoom to tilt is very handy!

[mingology]

I love your “Black Hairy” thing that double up as a mic, my cat would love to have a piece of it...

[PatrickRambles]

This has been the most useful video on the Osmo 2 for me. Thanks, mate.

[solanopedro]

Man I got mine yesterday
Thank God you uploaded this today cause I’ve been looking for some tips for it! Loved the video!

[djflame]

The tips about how to initiate different modes was really helpful ❤, keep up the good work!

[Ozpeter]

Some interesting tips, thanks. Consensus on the DJI forum is that there are serious issues with HQ mode which hopefully DJI will address with a firmware update. In particular it uses what some feel is an exessively agressive amount of noise reduction which causes a loss of detail, and there's some evidence of smearing of movement. I'd suggest users make their own tests and draw their own conclusions before deciding which is best. And keep an eye open for firmware updates, which should also fix some of the problems with face tracking, which is less capable on the new model than on the old.

Thank you that was a great tips summary. The ISO tip is similar to all digital cameras but some may not be aware of 'noise', so it's good to point it out.
It is a steep learning curve for me who has never had the Pocket '1' . So many "scroll this way, that way, tap(single, double, triple to take me down another rabbit hole it seems!)" and I've been too chicken until now to go 'Pro' although with my DSLR Nikons in the past I always went manual if I had the luxury of time to think about the shot. One thing is for sure, the gimbal has immediately improved the smoothness of my footage compared to my old (but superb still and tough as old boots!)Sony Handycam with its x32 zoom. Thanks for great tips. I will go through this video again several times (with the camera in my hand) and have subscribed to see more useful stuff well presented.

buying one as my first camera wish me luck‼️

[RobertWildling]

Hei! DJI Pocket 2 Newbie here! our video was incredibly helpful! Concise and straight to the point, with many good tip, like focus firs, then double-tab. Thanks soooo much! Subscribed!

[robbiekong]

Great content! Just picked one up today and super pumped to learn how to use.

Keep up the great work 👍

[davidostrowski]

Thanks! Useful tips! I just bought it to complement my OM4 and Mavic Mini. I followed through your tips with the pocket in my hand and I'm ready to go!

If you also have a DSLR/Mirrorless I highly recommend getting a cold shoe adapter and try mounting the pocket to your main camera. It kinda looks like a shotgun mic or something and it is able to just record while you focus on the main camera. Depends on your work flow but there is a lot of potential for what you can do. If you’re main focus is photography you can get useable video as well, Or Take video on both and you get a stabilized “B cam”/ wide shot, while you have a tighter shot on the main camera.
Video from the pocket looks great because of the gimbal and doesn’t have to be babysat, and you get the advantage of having the pocket attached to a bigger rig so it doesn’t move as much

Thank you Keith! I also unboxed a Pocket 2 recently, but just used it as a basic camera... These tips and tricks are really helpful for me, especially as you mentioned, there would be video shakings since it's so light and hard to feel it when we moving around; and better to connect with phone to keep it more stable in hand. Thank you, cheers!

[motivatedinspired]

Thank you you are life saver! hey ... you have awesome golden voice ! I am very disappointed with Pocket 2 ! hoping your this video can give new life of my little pocket 2 ! thanks again

[williamwalksTO]

Thanks for sharing this video Keith! I found it very informative and helpful. Take care!

[alexemm]

It's a great portable camera to have everywhere with you and to use with good quality results! Freewell may possibly be creating a series of anamorphic filters with built in ND ranges for the Pocket 2, just as they recently did for the Mavic Air 2.
