Absolutely! The original! Tempted to try one of the newer models though for sure since I imagine I have gotten my moneys worth out of the first version at this point. I am not one to always need the latest and greatest but I imagine some things have changed for the better over the past five iterations. Whatever works to capture great images works for me!

I took a look as well. Lots of ND filters and no black mist for the Pocket 2. I even checked EBAY and couldn’t find any on there either. There are tutorials on UA-cam on how to create a similar effect in post but obviously it’s extra work and not exactly the same.

Enjoy it my friend. That thing has lived in my bag for a long time! It’s great.

Right now I would highly consider the DJI Action 4 because it is on sale new for $269 and works great wirelessly with the DJI Mic 2 over bluetooth if you ever pick one of those up in the future. The sound quality of that combo is great! I am guessing it is on sale because they will be releasing the new Action 5 / Pro soon. You can also find the Action 3 used for $150 or less. I just checked EBAY. That would be my second choice if I needed a cheaper option.

I don’t know if this brand still makes these but it’s very similar to the Deity D4 Mini Microphone. Much better sound than the internal mics but you need a mic adapter for the Osmo action to plug it in. So two purchases. Still worth it.

PolarPro Vivid Cinema Filter Set. Still available! In stock on Amazon.

Great! I have had it for a few years and the original battery still lasts a long time when I record.

I still feel the same way. This little camera can take a beating and keep going! The Action 4 looks really nice but I found an Action 2 at a great price and I want to make a video about it.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks. One of the first things I shot with the Pocket 2. Definitely a learning experience.

I appreciate those kind words more than you know. You can probably find one on the used market for a good deal! Maybe check out EBAY or Facebook Marketplace. Thanks Marc.

Thanks. I don’t mind the criticism. I was probably ill prepared to shoot this but I definitely learned a lot by trial and error. I got a few okay shots in there but there were some that weren’t great. The overexposure on the shot of the wedding party entrance bugs me a lot as well. Every scene was new lesson learned so that I can do better next time. Appreciate you taking the time to watch.

I was wondering if someone was gonna point that out, it does look cinematic but i thought the gimbal was supposed to stabilize the shot more

Not sure why it looks shaky.. but I know I am excited about the release of the Pocket 3 next week! I haven’t shot much recently but I am excited to pick up the new one and get back to it!

Have fun with it. That little camera is great! And thanks for the kind words about my video.

@@Kastor_X you rock man! 🧑‍🎤

You’re right! I Immediately regretted not shooting a few more slow motion shots. Next time I will at least get a few 60fps shots so I can slow it down in post if I want to. Thanks for the kind comment.

I usually film in 4K 24fps with auto settings for ease of use. I will film in 60fps when I plan on doing slow motion in post. You can film in 1080p resolution for smaller file sizes if you don’t need the higher 4K resolution. The color right out of the camera is pretty good if you don’t want to color grade in post production software. If you like to color grade you might enjoy recording in the D-Cinelike color profile for a flatter image that is preferable for grading. Good luck with your new camera. I love that thing. It was one of my favorite little action cameras of all time.

@@Kastor_X thanks 👍👍👍👍

Hey, thanks! I had just purchased the Pocket 2 so I didn’t have any when I filmed this. And I was using auto exposure so the you can see some of the shots / skies are not exposed properly. I now use manual settings and a set of magnetic ND filters so I get better results. I can also use slower shutter speeds in bright situations with the NDs and the footage looks more ‘cinematic’ to me. I was not the videographer at this wedding. I just put together these shots last minute for them since they didn’t have one. They were happy I captured some memories for them. Photos are nice but video always makes me feel like I am reliving the day. I love a good wedding video. I would love to film one with a more professional camera setup.

Thanks! That means a lot!

Hey! I used mostly auto settings for these clips. I do use manual settings in a controlled environment or with ND filters to keep my shutter speed low for more of a cinematic look but on the run I have found the auto setting just fine. I film in D-Cinelike because I do a little bit of color grading on the footage in Adobe Premiere. Because the low light performance isn’t great I will use Neat Video software to clean up a little bit of the noise sometimes. It’s great for that! I believe most of this footage was 24 FPS if I remember correctly but I do use 30 FPS sometimes and occasionally 60fps if I plan to slow it down in post. Thanks for watching!

Hey thanks!!! I really appreciate that. More to come for sure!

There absolutely is! I just Google’d ‘DJI Action User Manual’ and it was the top link! I would post the link here but it is too long. The Google search will get you right to it. Thanks for watching!

I got her tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway in NYC. Those were definitely expensive! Thanks for watching Mark!

Thanks! You could use this if you are willing to wear an action camera type chest mount.. but the DJI Action 2 is smaller and can simply be attached to your shirt with its magnetic lanyard system. Or the Insta360 Go 2 if you want a small 360 camera you can easily attach to your shirt with a magnet as well. They all work it just depends on your needs. 🤙🏻

I did! At Epcot during the firework show. I have the full video on a separate channel. She said yes!

I appreciate that. Thank YOU for watching!

Thanks Sean! Consistency is always a challenge.. but no excuses. I need to make more time to publish. I fall into the trap of prioritizing tasks in life that bring me the most income and UA-cam is not that.. yet. Making videos is certainly a passion though and it would be criminal to live a life without passion. Looking forward to your future videos as well man. 🎥 🙌🏼

@@Kastor_X dig it and can 100% relate. Keep crushing

Thanks! I appreciate that.

Love it! This little camera has done well by me so far! If you can find a deal on a used one even better. Thanks for the support!

100% worth mentioning that vapor chamber cooling system! It’s more efficient than the standard pipe and fan cooling a lot of other laptops use. I haven’t had any issues with overheating.

I really appreciate that! Thanks!

Take a look at the Movo VXR10 on Amazon. It’s very similar. You will also need a CYNOVA audio adapter to add a microphone jack to the original Osmo but it’s worth it especially if you get a cage with a mic hot shoe.

Thanks! I agree. It was last minute footage for the bride with the only camera I had with me. Not the best wedding video but a good example of the quality you can expect from a small pocket camera like the DJI Pocket 2. That little camera is so capable for its size. They were happy to have a video of their big day and I had fun!

It is in some of the shots for sure! I believe the torque of the motor caused this since I was using a single light weight tripod. I get better results now with a heavier tripod or even two tripods on the two mounting points.

There are obviously some upgrades on the Action 3 but my original is still going strong as well and I am still happy with the image quality as long as their is sufficient light. I love the idea of a sticky dead cat for wind resistance. The mics were never one if it’s strong points. And yea, You can definitely find some deals on the used market for sure now that they released the third iteration. Thanks for watching!

@@Kastor_X the mic covers are on Am0 zon. Search: micover 3/4" round stickover mini

Will do. Thanks!

Thanks! A decent quality image for such a small pocket size camera, right?

@@Kastor_X I’m going to wait for the pocket 3.

At this point I would probably lean towards the new DJI Action 3 since it is a similar build quality to this one with some nice updates to the picture quality / features. And believe me the first Osmo Action was one of my favorite action cameras, I was on the fence about the form factor of the Action 2, and I really love that they returned to this design for the third iteration. Plus it is less expensive than a new GoPro as well. The price is reasonable! Unless you can find a used original Osmo Action for a great price than I would still consider it.

Thanks! I thought the video quality from the Pocket 2 was pretty good overall. It struggled with some of the sky highlights it times but other than that it’s an impressive little camera.

Yes! I believe you just have enable ‘PRO’ mode first. Then you can go to color and change it from Normal to D-Cinelike.

I believe it was 4K 24fps, auto ISO, in the D-picture profile. And mostly just the Tilt Locked mode to keep a level horizon.

The magnetic ND filter system from PolarPro since it is so fast to change them. And the magnets are strong. If you are using your NDs underwater you will probably need ones that screw on instead. I don’t think the magnetic system is waterproof but I could be wrong!

I carry it around in my pocket. So convenient! Thank you for watching!

Thanks! I made this video a little while ago but I still love my Action 1. I recently picked up the Action 2 to see if I like the new design. I am waiting on the 3 for now since the specs are similar to the 2 I just picked up and will probably review. I can’t wait to test horizon leveling more.. But yea there are definitely some deals now for the first one, especially in the used market. Thanks so much for watching!

Honestly, i'd go for the cheaper osmo action on a motorbike. Didn't try it myself, because i "traded" my bike for dogs - but i heard stories of ruining autofocus on a motorbike in no time. And i've no reason to doubt that, because normally you live with hefty vibration on a bike. But your choice was 4 month ago - what's your experience? It sure is a huge difference between helmet or handlebar mount in vibration forces.

@@werner.x I actually think it depends where you ride and what for motorcycle you have. Maybe a streetbike on decent asphalt could have less vibration then going offroad with an MTB. But actually returned my OA3 already after a few days. It was suffering from the focus issue and I went for the Hero11 on a verry good discount.

@@rockel83 Thanks for the reply. Glad i did buy the action 1 then instead of the 3. Not a single issue so far and a fast and reliable focus, knock on wood...

@@werner.x yeah I was also verry disappointed in the oa3. Got the Hero11 for actually the same price. So a no brainer then. Although the OA1 is also still a verry great cam!

Thanks man. Can’t wait to make some more soon! The support is greatly appreciated.

I am happy they offer this form factor again with the new Osmo Action 3! Love my original!

I am not sure! I ordered one as an early KickStarter product backer. But I am in the US. You could reach out to Gudsen MOZA and see what your options are. It’s a cool product. I like it for the most part but I am sure there are other app controllable electronic sliders available to you if not this one. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I really appreciate that.

Hey I really appreciate that. Not my best work but last minute Pocket 2 to the rescue for sure! Super capable little camera.

I am going to get my hands on an Action 2 soon and find out for sure!

@@Kastor_X You should just to see how bad it is...sure, it's got a few things going for it, but overall, it's a few steps backward in my book.

Thanks! I couldn’t agree more. Great little camera!

It’s been my go to action cam for a while! I might test out the new one in a video soon just to see how it compares.
