So true. As soon as you go anywhere public with a big camera setup with a cage and lens on it draws attention and even upsets people. Small camera, small problems. 🎥👀
The Osmo Pocket, the more I view the more I love it. It has a really nice video quality, although I think it`s different than DSLR cameras but, for the price, I`d say it is worth investing as a B camera, or carrying around in your pocket. Great video!
To be fair, if talking about spending money on Pocket accessories to make it moreusable and the price being the same as the M50 - You should do the same math for the M50 - it requires a stabilized like the G6, hand adapter for EF/EF/S lenses as basic requirements. The price has suddenly gone way beyond the pimped Pocket, so it is a wash. Both cameras need extras, and both eventually cost way more than the base price.
I have been using osmo pocket for a while. It really has made my work better. Reason being , its always in my bag, i don't need to plan but just be there to create good content .There are few downsides of not being able to add external mike, and it isn't too great at night. It also heats up when using in 4k mode but using it with my phone is as good as having an external Stabiliser like needed in M50. I love the osmo pocket, even after the few defects that it comes with coz anyways you can't get the world in one gadget.
Yes, I have a Mirrorless SLR camera (Panasonic G80 / G85) but I hardly ever get it out, as its far too cumbersome for daily outdoor use. It tends to come out only on special occasions (cruise excursions and the like). Otherwise I use myPanasonic LX15 / LX10 but its stabilisation sucks and autofocus isn’t up to much. So the DJI Osmo Pocket starts to look very attractive as an extra camera for cinematic B roll and inconspicuous photography at home and on holiday.
You got my subscription for this one! I have the M50 and I purchased a gimbal for it, then returned that gimbal and purchased the pocket. I love the pocket. When the gimbal doesn’t know what the camera is seeing the gimbal sucks and is only good for cinematic shots not any vlogging or tracking. But my M50 with 22mm f2 is my main camera setup.
I own an M50 and to me it seems clear. If you are just vlogging to camera then the DJI is the obvious choice. However if you also want decent photos, or cinematic video, then you'll need a separate camera. The M50 is so good at most things I'd never contemplate buying the DJI but, if you just Vlog to camera, then it's hard to look past the DJI. PS. The Viltrox Speed-booster is set to unlock the 4K potential of the M50.
I think the audio is just fine on the Osmo Pocket I could not tell the differences in the two. Thanks so much Gary Wishing you and your Family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and God bless
So I own the Osmo Pocket and the audio is great in interior, as soon as you take it outside ... the audio is completely unworkable! However, I love it all around ! great punch for money
Great video. DJI Action VS M50 Which is considered a hybrid camera based on: 80% travel vlog & 20% taking pictures/recording at home? Which is good in day/night? & different climate weathers? Thank you
Great review. There is a saying that just about every camera enthusiast knows - "The best camera is the one that you have with you." Even before vlogging became a fad, I started "vlogging" long before in an attempt to have my entire family (including a toddler) in the shot without me being missing all the time (sound familiar?). Small and light cameras changed the game because big and bulky pain-in-the-butt DIY setups caused a lot of missed opportunities. You can have the perfect setup, but you will be more unlikely to have it ready to go on a moment's notice. This has happened to me many times, where I end up grabbing my iPhone and capturing what I can (not ideal, of course). The Osmo Pocket has the advantage of the small and light camera with a built-in gimbal that can be used in a moment's notice, with the sacrifice of overall quality compared to a full-size camera like the Canon M50. True, the Osmo Pocket is a first version, so I cannot fault it too much for its technical shortcomings (i.e. no tripod thread, no interchangeable lenses, and no optional date/time stamp for documentaries common in Chinese action cameras), but being able to capture shots versus not being able to capture shots gives it value.
It does end up being pretty soft but I was trying to keep them in relative equal price points. The benefit of the m50 is I could have popped on the sigma 18-35 and really upped its quality. I was really impressed with the osmo pockets image but I still have problems recommending it since it’s such a niche camera.
Thank you for the review looks like im leaning towards the M50, been looking for something that i can take pics with and video at the same time! Osmo looks dope for being discreet. However im so torn between the Canon M50 vs the Lumix G85.
@ how many lenses does the Osmo pocket fits? does it have manual focus? microphone jack? I believe the M50 for it's price and it's size it's the way to go no doubt oh and you can actually take out the battery.

Hey there, just wanted to chime in on the topic. I actually own a GoPro 7, m50 and osmo pocket. The pocket has actually become my vlogging camera. The GoPro is pretty bad in low light, the m50 is the superior camera but it’s still large for a lot of different vlogging activities. The pocket has pretty decent low light capabilities for such a small sensor, the autofocus has been much improved with the firmware update and the size of it make it for an amazing vlogging camera. I don’t have a top of the line phone to compare it to so that’s the one caveat I have with my experience. Personally I’d recommend the pocket over the m50 if you someone that isn’t super into cameras and wants a vlogging rig that’s super easy to use and take with you. If your someone who wants the absolute best picture quality and doesn’t mind carrying a bigger rig around then I would say get the m50. I don’t agree with the GoPro over either unless your into activities that would damage the other cameras. GoPro’s footage is nice in optimal lighting but falls apart in low light. Just my 2 cents, love the videos!
The Osmo Pocket is way better at presenting a better viewing experience. The Pocket video is cleaner, more in focus and mechanical gimbals make the video such that it unfair to compare against digital stabilization. I have Pocket now for two weeks and indoor low light is grainy, but outside /in good lighting the video is outstanding. Your video confirms all this and more. Thanks
U r just a blessing for me. I just started my channel. Wanted to buy a camera for UA-cam. I was so confused between these two. Thank you so much for the video. Big thumbs up. Subscribed 👌👌
For someone like me that already has the GoPro Hero black 7, and the Osmo Pocket gimbal +iPhone + filmic pro, do I need the Osmo Pocket? Probably not. The one think I like is how discreet the Osmo Pocket is, even like for events where no cell phones are allowed or sometimes at places where security scorts you out for using a big gimbal.
So so auto focus vs poor stabilization. I think my Nikon D5300 has sharp 1080p (manual everything). I haven’t been motivated to get another dslr or try a mirrorless. Maybe if The M50 wasn’t intentionally crippled at 4K might have considered one. On a side note played around with the new Hero 7 black. 1080p linear really looks ok. It was raining crazy and that’s the best part. No case and ok native audio. Ordered stuff for my Videomicro just the same. I think it beats both of these for Vlogging or B camera though next would be the M50 between the Pocket IMHO. Good video.
the main reason that people should buy the osmo pocket over the gopro is that it has a moving hyperlapse/timelapse mode that the gopro can never do. everything else is fairly equal.
I haven't played with that mode on the Gopro H7B yet though the videos on YT looked rather amazing for the new timewarp which is a stabilized smooth hyperlapse. I mean it really really really looks fantastic compared to the H6B. I have been using a Sony AS20 (several) in addition other cameras. So went with the H7B for waterproof and linear mode to blend in the footage better.
In the studio comparison, the Canon M50 looked surprisingly out of focus compared to the Osmo pocket. I wish Canon had made more advances with 4K in the M50 and that's a deal-breaker for me at the moment. The Pocket does seem to be a really handy device I can always have on me.
I think a missed pillar of comparison on this match up specifically for vlogging might be stealthy-ness. And just how self-conscious you feel walking around talking to the m50 vs osmo pocket...
I find that the Osmo footage was a bit more exposed but the colour tones are better on the M50?! How did you get such stable footage on the M50? I have seen Gimbal footage that were not as stable! 😲
I Have both! Very nice and a complement for videos. One Is portable, other is small but compared with OSMO... everything is BIG!!!! :) A big HUG From Portugal!
Oh wow!! How is it? Do you find that you need to have both? I currently have the osmo pocket but contemplating if I need the M50 for other shots? How do you swap between the two?
I know this is a crazy question but do you think that top of the line action cam with M12 varifocal lens can outdo the budget dslr in image quality? I was thinking of getting an expensive action cam and varifocal lens as a portable DSLR. What are your comments?
Another well done and fun to watch video.Nicely done. Glad I found your channel. Anyway, either camera looks like they'd be great for vlogging. Both looked good in your studio but to me there were times during the outdoor shots that the Osmo's video looked better than the M50's video looked. The M50's video looked kind of soft and a bit duller and at times looked like it was on the edge of loosing focus.
i think it depend on what is our purpose, fo making a movie yes we need Canon , but for vlogging or have fun with certain quality of video, its okay to use osmo pocket, and of course this very simple as well. Im learning to be a good youtuber like you. I'm 10 years old, from Indonesia
Watching all of these older videos on the pocket, I realize that the Osmo Pocket is actually a better deal NOW then it was back then. With both the passing of time and the release of the Pocket 2, you can find great deals for these. The Pocket can be found used on eBay for around $150 used. A good deal already, but considering the non-removable battery, you'll probably want to go refurbished for the pocket. That's usually closer to $200-$250. Not insane, but a really good deal which limits the overall price if the pocket when combined with the accessories. One thing that IS insane however is currently DJI themselves are selling Pockets on eBay Open-Box and Refurbished (Good on them for not COMPLETELY removing it from their catalog unlike literally every phone company ever). The Open-Box was going for $170 and the refurbished is currently going for $110! I'm not sure how long they'll be there as of writing this due to the Open-box listing being out of stock and the Refurbished listing almost out of stock. There's a chance that they'll sell more, but I'm not 100% sure. Still, THAT'S an insane deal if that's really what you're looking for. But the $200-$250 is also great considering that accessories are also coming down in price. Personally, upon seeing reviews, the Pocket 2 has better specs and accessories, but the footage coming out of the Pocket looks better. The Pocket 2 is lower contrast but higher saturation which gives it a weird washed out look, and has a really unnatural skin-softening look which to my knowledge can't be turned off. And, some accessories for the Pocket 2 are compatible with the Pocket, like, oh I don't know, a WIDE ANGLE LENS ADAPTER. The DJI one is pretty pricey, but more affordable 3rd party ones exist as well. Honestly, judging by all of these old TED videos, I'm really tempted to purchase a Pocket now more than ever as an On-the-go vlogging camera. I have an Osmo Action for POV and Underwater use, and a G85 for Filmmaking/Produced videos. The power three may well be upon me.
Osmo's exposure is well made for consumer usage. Very crisp contrast but white & black tend to be clipped. Canon keeps the sky blue, but your face is under exposure that needs post production
I think a gopro hero 6/7 on a gimbal with a rode video micro kicks both these camera's asses. It's the best of both worlds without having to invest in so much ecosystem, and this is coming from a person with a line of full frame canon glass. But I always resort back to my gopro, because it's so nimble, works in every condition, completely waterproof, always in focus and still can get cinematic 120p b-roll shots as well as vlog, all in 4k. Sad to say, but not even my full frame 6dii on a crane 2 can do that, and that's a 4 grand setup.
Nice review... just a friendly reminder that it’s not a ‘one over two thirds’ sensor. It’s a ‘one over two point three’ inch sensor. That means the sensor is a little smaller than 1/2”. A one over two thirds sensor would be a 1.5” sensor.
I'd so want an M50 if not for some of the nerfy specs. I'll have to see how Olympus updates the EM-5 MkIII to decide if I want to stay on that platform. I do have an Osmo Pocket, and it's got its place, but not as a "main" camera for me.
I am a shy vlogger, and I would feel ridiculous walking around a busy tourist area with that M50 rig, to the point where I wouldn't vlog at all if that was my only option. Even a phone on a gimbal is too much for me. Besides when I am traveling, I need the phone for navigating when I am lost, checking for nearby restaurants etc. The Osmo Pocket is ideal for filming unobtrusively in high traffic areas where carrying around a larger gimbal set up is not practical.
My problem is that I wanna start vlogging but it'll be travel vlogging. I don't wanna be on a plane worrying about my camera and whether my lenses are gonna break or if I'm gonna forget them in a hotel in France or something.
Got the M50 awesome and next year will get the Pocket as well thanks for the report Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year to you and your family stay safe and enjoy yourselves see ya Tonia and Bene
Great video, but I preferred the Osmo video and sound over the M50 and mic. As you were going along, I didn't know if you made comments after viewing this video??? ....For a one trick pony it's an awesome trick.
so all the time you did a test with canon m50 1080 p @ 30 fps but you kept the osmo pocket 4k @30fps, dont you think fair that you should have both at 1080 p @ 30fps? and the osmo pocket has a 1080 p superfine quality , no mention on that hmm and m50 suffers a heavy crop @ 4k , thank you for the tip .
Epic video mate cheers I’m looking at upping my you tube chan quality currently recorded on an iPhone the pocket was my preferred choice due to its compact size but after this review I’m thinking the m50 is the way to go. Top review thanks and subbed📷❤️
Great comparison but the m50 would be 500 for the body only add the lens and the mic and you are easily in the $700 range. That being said I think the m50 is a great traditional vlogging camera with the bonus for me of being a much better stills camera. Thanks for the great video
Why do people insist on comparing a 1080p footage to a 4k footage? The comparison should have only focused more on image quality on the same settings: 1080p 60fps on both and 4k 30fps on both. Also lowlight comparison was bad because they were on different settings. The autofocus should have been tested thoroughly instead of you just saying the osmo was bad. Videos are meant to SHOW not for you to TELL. If it can be shown, show it, don't say it only.
Don't get me wrong. If comparisons were to be made, all the categories should have been equal (fiddliness is ok, lowlight, autofocus, battery life, overheating, abrupt change of exposure, color settings, image-centric features of both, etc). Then, you have an objective comparison.
I love your shtick...it's GREAT!....You are so much fun to watch...your better than a sit c....ooops...no insult intended...Keep up the good work and keep em flying...giggle
At first I thought what an usual comparison ! However price wise it does make sense. I thought the image quality of osmosis in 4k was far better than m50 in 1080. I am a canon owner and I despair at canon's marketing strategy which is why I have not purchased a new canon for over 8 years ! If the m50, eos R etc had IBIS, non crop 4k ( or at least a very small element of a crop ) the likes of sony and osmosis would have an extremely difficult time winning over the once loyal canon owner. For me I would mate the osmosis to the smartphone as that is what I have on me all of the time. For the dual card slot issues on cameras which only have one, well why do the big 3 not built in wireless transfer of jpegs, raw, and video file from camera to smartphone as a direct copy of what is on the camera sd card ! Not ideal solution, however certainly a very workable solution.
I would like to apply for membership on the "Nitty-Gritty-Camera-Committee." LOL. Really good, valid, comparo video. Wishing you and your family a great New Year!
You are correct in saying that the Pocket has limited uses and would be used as a 2nd camera. If you lived in a city where you attended plenty of public events with loads of people around, it might be beneficial to have a Pocket cause very few people would even notice that you are recording video. And on a side note; Canon recently released a super cool new camcorder called the XF705. This new model could possibly make you drool. (grin)
Really great points, but as a run-n-gun/ just film me & go - vlogging style camera - the Osmo Pocket looks and sounds like the winner to me. Even if the face tracking/ auto focus fails a few times, it is still a feature the other cameras do not have. If you just want to vlog (and not Casey Neistat style b/c that takes skill and $$$ equipment)- but just simply vlog - it's looking like Osmo Pocket is the ticket.
As much as I love this video you contradict yourself with how you’re pairing up the price with the accessories but yet in the comparison you don’t use any of the accessories. I know nothing can really replace a mirrorless or a DSLR camera but with the accessories it has gotten pretty close
Oh wait. The camera you're using to film in the beginning is not the M50.. Which one is it? I don't know if it's normal but I find it a bit frustrating that the footage from the M50 always looks a little blurry..
Great video. our Osmo Pocket arrived last week and suffered total failure after minutes. Underdeveloped product, rushed to market and the support service from DJI seems to be almost none existent. Had an email response from DJI after 5 days and still no conclusion. Hopefully we can get a refund! Buyer beware!! Canon quality and support is in a different league.
So true. As soon as you go anywhere public with a big camera setup with a cage and lens on it draws attention and even upsets people. Small camera, small problems. 🎥👀

yeah me too, I agree it's so light I can just bring it everywhere. The tricky part is making it stand up without covering the mic part
@@wanderingwithyanvlogs yes yes and yes

Thanks so much Rick! Same to you and yours 👍
Don't forget that you can still use the M50 as a camera (OMG). So now if that is your only camera you can take family portraits.
I could tell. The other mic was fuller. A bigger sound. More bass
So I own the Osmo Pocket and the audio is great in interior, as soon as you take it outside ... the audio is completely unworkable! However, I love it all around ! great punch for money

Wow! This is the comparison I have been looking for! Stuck on these 2 options for the past few weeks!! Thanks!!
Another camera that beats the M50 in image quality 😄. I wanted to love the M50 so much but it’s just such a soft image I can’t deal with it.
It does end up being pretty soft but I was trying to keep them in relative equal price points. The benefit of the m50 is I could have popped on the sigma 18-35 and really upped its quality.
I was really impressed with the osmo pockets image but I still have problems recommending it since it’s such a niche camera.
that's because he compared 1080 to 4k and he used a kit lens. change the lens to something else and the osmo will look like crap
@@astigmatik I don't think so. The osmo rushes in 4k 60p are excellent and would be indistinguishable if mixed with those 4k from a pro camera.
@@TheEverydayDad try using the sigma 18-35 on a gh5 or g9 using a Speedbooster
I’m glad you did this comparison. I’ve been going back & forth between this 2 cameras for about some time now!
What did you get?

Can you please do the same comparison with the new Dji pocket 2 ? Great video by the way 👍🏼!

Yeah everything is huge compared to the osmo.

Watching all of these older videos on the pocket, I realize that the Osmo Pocket is actually a better deal NOW then it was back then. With both the passing of time and the release of the Pocket 2, you can find great deals for these.
The Pocket can be found used on eBay for around $150 used. A good deal already, but considering the non-removable battery, you'll probably want to go refurbished for the pocket. That's usually closer to $200-$250. Not insane, but a really good deal which limits the overall price if the pocket when combined with the accessories.
One thing that IS insane however is currently DJI themselves are selling Pockets on eBay Open-Box and Refurbished (Good on them for not COMPLETELY removing it from their catalog unlike literally every phone company ever). The Open-Box was going for $170 and the refurbished is currently going for $110! I'm not sure how long they'll be there as of writing this due to the Open-box listing being out of stock and the Refurbished listing almost out of stock. There's a chance that they'll sell more, but I'm not 100% sure. Still, THAT'S an insane deal if that's really what you're looking for. But the $200-$250 is also great considering that accessories are also coming down in price.
Personally, upon seeing reviews, the Pocket 2 has better specs and accessories, but the footage coming out of the Pocket looks better. The Pocket 2 is lower contrast but higher saturation which gives it a weird washed out look, and has a really unnatural skin-softening look which to my knowledge can't be turned off. And, some accessories for the Pocket 2 are compatible with the Pocket, like, oh I don't know, a WIDE ANGLE LENS ADAPTER. The DJI one is pretty pricey, but more affordable 3rd party ones exist as well.
Honestly, judging by all of these old TED videos, I'm really tempted to purchase a Pocket now more than ever as an On-the-go vlogging camera. I have an Osmo Action for POV and Underwater use, and a G85 for Filmmaking/Produced videos. The power three may well be upon me.
Yes, I'm sure full essays about cameras are what people want to see on UA-cam
Osmo's exposure is well made for consumer usage. Very crisp contrast but white & black tend to be clipped. Canon keeps the sky blue, but your face is under exposure that needs post production
I think a gopro hero 6/7 on a gimbal with a rode video micro kicks both these camera's asses. It's the best of both worlds without having to invest in so much ecosystem, and this is coming from a person with a line of full frame canon glass. But I always resort back to my gopro, because it's so nimble, works in every condition, completely waterproof, always in focus and still can get cinematic 120p b-roll shots as well as vlog, all in 4k. Sad to say, but not even my full frame 6dii on a crane 2 can do that, and that's a 4 grand setup.
Good luck trying to get cinematic close ups with go pro
Nice review... just a friendly reminder that it’s not a ‘one over two thirds’ sensor. It’s a ‘one over two point three’ inch sensor. That means the sensor is a little smaller than 1/2”. A one over two thirds sensor would be a 1.5” sensor.
Great comparison! Any chance you'll do a video comparing the M50 to the Pocket 2? I'm on the fence between these two!
Why is your m50 so soft , what colour profile did you use (portrait) ?
I'd so want an M50 if not for some of the nerfy specs. I'll have to see how Olympus updates the EM-5 MkIII to decide if I want to stay on that platform. I do have an Osmo Pocket, and it's got its place, but not as a "main" camera for me.
I am a shy vlogger, and I would feel ridiculous walking around a busy tourist area with that M50 rig, to the point where I wouldn't vlog at all if that was my only option. Even a phone on a gimbal is too much for me. Besides when I am traveling, I need the phone for navigating when I am lost, checking for nearby restaurants etc. The Osmo Pocket is ideal for filming unobtrusively in high traffic areas where carrying around a larger gimbal set up is not practical.
this is an excellent review dude, thank you. fiddliness? amazing. thank you
My problem is that I wanna start vlogging but it'll be travel vlogging. I don't wanna be on a plane worrying about my camera and whether my lenses are gonna break or if I'm gonna forget them in a hotel in France or something.
yeah agree. I largely use osmo for on the go and actually was thinking for M50 for stay at home vlogs
great video. what camara did you use to record this video?
Thank you for this video! I was hoping someone made a video on this so I can decide what to buy!
Got the M50 awesome and next year will get the Pocket as well thanks for the report Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year to you and your family stay safe and enjoy yourselves see ya Tonia and Bene
Great video, but I preferred the Osmo video and sound over the M50 and mic. As you were going along, I didn't know if you made comments after viewing this video??? ....For a one trick pony it's an awesome trick.
Thanks for the review. When you got into the accessories that's when I decided to stick with my initial decision and buy an M50.
The M50 with lenses is way more expensive than the fully pimped out Pocket
Unique and smart review..I purchased both of these cause of this channel... cheers!!!
Nice! Well thanks so much I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁👍
Osmo pockets looks better
so all the time you did a test with canon m50 1080 p @ 30 fps but you kept the osmo pocket 4k @30fps, dont you think fair that you should have both at 1080 p @ 30fps?
and the osmo pocket has a 1080 p superfine quality , no mention on that hmm and m50 suffers a heavy crop @ 4k , thank you for the tip .
Both I will buy in 2019, thanks for reviewing
One of the few channels I watch in full screen lol love your content man
Well thanks so much man! 😁👍
Could you do pocket 2 vs m50?
I have both, so maybe I will run a test also.
do a low light test outdoor please. i would checkout your channel.
@@truthseeker6804 ok
@@mistervacation23 thanks i look forward to it.
@@mistervacation23 been awhile, done it yet?
@@truthseeker6804 No because i don't know how to make a split screen so you could see both at the sametime
I just love this line. " If I can figure it out... you can figure it out.."
Epic video mate cheers I’m looking at upping my you tube chan quality currently recorded on an iPhone the pocket was my preferred choice due to its compact size but after this review I’m thinking the m50 is the way to go. Top review thanks and subbed📷❤️
Your videos are entertaining and fun while also being informative. Great job! Thanks.
Great comparison but the m50 would be 500 for the body only add the lens and the mic and you are easily in the $700 range. That being said I think the m50 is a great traditional vlogging camera with the bonus for me of being a much better stills camera. Thanks for the great video
Why do people insist on comparing a 1080p footage to a 4k footage? The comparison should have only focused more on image quality on the same settings: 1080p 60fps on both and 4k 30fps on both. Also lowlight comparison was bad because they were on different settings. The autofocus should have been tested thoroughly instead of you just saying the osmo was bad. Videos are meant to SHOW not for you to TELL. If it can be shown, show it, don't say it only.
Don't get me wrong. If comparisons were to be made, all the categories should have been equal (fiddliness is ok, lowlight, autofocus, battery life, overheating, abrupt change of exposure, color settings, image-centric features of both, etc). Then, you have an objective comparison.
"On the planet... Earth". Geez, thought I had to check other planets stock of lenses.
Watching this video now and wondering about Osmo pocket 3 vs cannon m50
Amazing for me osmo its better rigth??
I love your shtick...it's GREAT!....You are so much fun to watch...your better than a sit c....ooops...no insult intended...Keep up the good work and keep em flying...giggle
Bro currently buy m50 can h tell me which lens use tree leaves to sample and best stabilisation lens for vlogs
At first I thought what an usual comparison !
However price wise it does make sense. I thought the image quality of osmosis in 4k was far better than m50 in 1080.
I am a canon owner and I despair at canon's marketing strategy which is why I have not purchased a new canon for over 8 years !
If the m50, eos R etc had IBIS, non crop 4k ( or at least a very small element of a crop ) the likes of sony and osmosis would have an extremely difficult time winning over the once loyal canon owner. For me I would mate the osmosis to the smartphone as that is what I have on me all of the time.
For the dual card slot issues on cameras which only have one, well why do the big 3 not built in wireless transfer of jpegs, raw, and video file from camera to smartphone as a direct copy of what is on the camera sd card !
Not ideal solution, however certainly a very workable solution.
I would like to apply for membership on the "Nitty-Gritty-Camera-Committee." LOL. Really good, valid, comparo video. Wishing you and your family a great New Year!
I wonder what the 4k pocket vid would look downgraded to 1080 vs 1080 Cannon.
You are correct in saying that the Pocket has limited uses and would be used as a 2nd camera.
If you lived in a city where you attended plenty of public events with loads of people around, it might be beneficial to have a Pocket cause very few people would even notice that you are recording video.
And on a side note; Canon recently released a super cool new camcorder called the XF705.
This new model could possibly make you drool. (grin)
I saw that camcorder! But it’s like $6000 😳😳
@@TheEverydayDad ... actually, closer to $10,000. (wink)
But it would be one helluva cool toy to own.
For that price, you can get a sony a7iii or a used canon 1dxii and the most popular lenses lol.
@@CheeseOnEverything Sony is a terrible company, NEVER buy anything Sony. Geeze!
@@ksmackvolleyball they're currently making the best entry level full frame camera on the market, how do u figure that they are terrible?
Great video, thank you.
Osmo is more of a complete package ..gimbal and all...even without the accessories compared to the M50
Really great points, but as a run-n-gun/ just film me & go - vlogging style camera - the Osmo Pocket looks and sounds like the winner to me. Even if the face tracking/ auto focus fails a few times, it is still a feature the other cameras do not have. If you just want to vlog (and not Casey Neistat style b/c that takes skill and $$$ equipment)- but just simply vlog - it's looking like Osmo Pocket is the ticket.
As much as I love this video you contradict yourself with how you’re pairing up the price with the accessories but yet in the comparison you don’t use any of the accessories. I know nothing can really replace a mirrorless or a DSLR camera but with the accessories it has gotten pretty close
Please do another one, version 2
How come your M50 footage looks so sharp? Mine doesn't...
Oh wait. The camera you're using to film in the beginning is not the M50.. Which one is it? I don't know if it's normal but I find it a bit frustrating that the footage from the M50 always looks a little blurry..
Why are you comparing 1080p to 4k though, doesn't seem like a reasonable comparison for this.
So you're saying that these cameras can replace that iMac you have on a tripod?
Very Nice. Yes, one day I will drop some cash down on a more expensive camera. I'm happy to use my GoPro(s) and my Osmo Pocket.
😆😆 at those transitions! Great vid man
Which lens was used for the m50 shot at 12:02 ??
Nice Hat, but it is a bit odd not seeing the big "O" on your head.
I couldn’t find it after 20 minutes of looking so I toss this one on instead 🤣
Osmo Pocket the portability is the thing less to carry and does it all.
If gimbals for the M50 weren’t so pricey, i’d be all over it. Osmo for me.
Great points!
Thanks Mark! 👍
As always, great perspective!
Mystery camera is........ BMPCC4K..... No?
Ha! No I wish though 🤣
I love your channel and I hope your channel will hit 1M subs soon!
Ragging on the gopro is the best part of using a gopro. Battery life, over heat, card corruption and out of shot.
Always really interesting videos. You’d deserve more viewers, good job!
Has any firmware update come for Osmo Pocket
LOL, ya got me!
Yes, I was paying attention! 😆👍
Great video. our Osmo Pocket arrived last week and suffered total failure after minutes. Underdeveloped product, rushed to market and the support service from DJI seems to be almost none existent. Had an email response from DJI after 5 days and still no conclusion. Hopefully we can get a refund! Buyer beware!! Canon quality and support is in a different league.
dji osmo vs idolcam for vlogging?
can you do a review of the dji osmo pocket v canon eos m100 review plz
I’d went for the DJI Osmo Pocket!
Can you buy a add on to use a mic on the osmo pocket
also can you do a video on small cameras the osmo pocket and the GoPro season 5
@@firewarrior2427 i think that's a better comparison, maybe the session with a gimbal since it's more relative in price.
Doesnt the osmo pocket have an audio jack?
GAproductions it has an adapter that is sold separately
very helpful, danka
Osmo pocket looks way better!!
I think at 9:00 youre not perfectly in focus on the m50
