Using the DJI OSMO Pocket Camera for Making Videos of Model Railway and Model Railroad Layouts

- In this video, Pilentum Television would like to introduce the “DJI OSMO Pocket Camera”, a camera for making breath-taking video recordings in the field of model railroading or railway modelling. We are going to discover some possibilities, how this camera can be used to film model trains. As you can see, the “Osmo Pocket” has a three-axis stabilized gimbal that ensures your video footage is smooth and appears professional even when you are operating without the help of a tripod. Furthermore, this tiny handheld camera uses a 1/2.3 inch sensor and shoots video in 4K with 60 frames per seconds. The camera seems to have been built for rail transport modeling.
We will have a look at the closest focusing distance of the camera lens. It is also known as the minimum focus distance. In the whole video, the camera is placed on a freight car and it is pulled by a locomotive. The “Osmo Pocket” lets us create awesome shots: On the one hand, the camera head is only one centimeter above the tracks. Pilentum Television has never been able to shoot such video recordings before. On the other hand, the whole video footage is perfectly stabilized. The camera works in HO scale and even in N scale.
In the scene with the steam locomotive, the camera is installed only a few millimeters above the railroad tracks. It is a real worm’s eye view. Most people shoot model railroad layouts from a bird’s eye view. But this is unnatural in relation to the scale. Now, we can capture trains from the worm’s eye view. Please note: In this video, we are inside a miniature world in HO scale. Of course, we can realize beautiful cab ride videos. Although no additional light was available during the shooting there is a brilliant video quality even in low-light situations.
If you pay attention to the various camera positions, you can understand that you could never have installed a big television camera or a photo camera, such as a “Panasonic Lumix GH5”, at these positions on a model railroad layout or model railway layout. The small size of the “Osmo Pocket” is a big advantage! However, the most important feature of this camera is that the video image is absolutely stabilized; especially when driving over the railroad switches the camera does not wobble at all.
Pilentum Television has to admit that the “Osmo Pocket Camera” offers many other possibilities. Pilentum bought the camera only three weeks ago. Therefore, Pilentum has still have to play and to learn how to use this great handheld camera. By the way, the manual of the “Osmo Pocket” is badly written. You just have to do tests and you just have to play with that camera to understand its great functions. Please note Pilentum’s review on www.pilentum.de or on www.pilentum-t.... On Pilentum’s website there are written down the most important features of the “Osmo Pocket”; there are also international online shops linked so that you can buy the camera.

I have had the camera for 6 months now, brilliant little thing it is.
Yes it is, and the camera currently costs only 250 euros.
nice vlog dear
Amazing camera. Its almost like it was made just for hobby train videos. It would work so well for filming wildlife, certain sports, and many many smaller places. The part of this video that showed what the camera can do was the cab ride. Once a person really practices and learns this camera, who knows what's out there to make a movie about. Thank you for this great video.
Reminds me of the classic Thomas the Tank Engine series before it switched to CGI, which is the best compliment you can get in my book!! Lovely video:)
go into your settings on the Osmo Pocket and change from AFC to AFS to change your focus. You have it set to object focus instead of full frame focus.
Yes, I am still learning the difference between AFC and AFS.
What a great camera. So compact without compromising on quality or features. Thank you for talking about it and demonstrating some of its features.
Yes, a semi-pro-camera 4K and 60 fps for 300 Euro:

I also use the DJI Osmo Pocket too!!! You've given me new ideas... I also use rode microphones and other various apparatus to hold the camera where I need it.
O melhor canal de ferromodelismo
Gracias :-)
I almost never make birds eye view videos, I adore filming from a low position. I mostly use my iPhone 6S for filming. I also use a small action cam for cab rides.
But this Osmo Pocket has clearly many more possibilities. 🤩 Good review 👍
Прекрасный обзор видео камеры! Прекрасная видео съёмка!
Спасибо за просмотр!
Muchas gracias por realizar la presentación de esta cámara tan especial. Definitivamente una cámara a tener en cuenta para una eventual adquisición en el futuro cercano. Mil gracias!!
a excelente qualidade da imagem, mostra as maravilhosas maquetes feitas, fiquei impressonado pela quantidade de detalhes, parabens !!!!
this is a perfect angle..
love this camera angle..
what a great idea for that camera
Have this camera too. Love it! Have loaded in my youtube channel some videos using the osmo pocket...
Super!!! Mersi PILENTUM!!!!😆😆😆👍👍👍
Amazing review. Nice layout!
Very impressive camera and video, sounds great!
i bought the dji poket 2 thanks to your video. was searching for a way to film the model railroad exhibitions we are taking part in with our local club, and wanted a cabview filming...now i have a camera train, because i also use an external microphone for it. thank you for this video, will help this year at the eurotrack model railroad gathering in Veszprem Hungary where we will gather but also the local meeting we will hold in our town with our club and others from across Europe. You can check some model railroad movies i made of our journeys on my youtube account.
Vă mulțumesc! Salutări în România! Dacă înregistrările video cu camera DJI sunt bune, putem publica filmările pe televiziunea Pilentum, vezi www.pilentum.org/submit-video
Very awesome

Great video and the layout is really impressive.
Astounding, I want to build a railroad layout just so I can use the camera.....
very good video
Very helpful. Really. Thank for sharing.
Amazing Work 👍
Love it I've been waiting for this
And video very intresting, maybe i will made my own train model
Wow😍😍😍
Great movie and great review. Best regards
Thank you!
very cool
wow!
Will you be buying the Osmo Pocket 2? It has a wider FOV of 120 degrees, a bigger camera sensor and live streaming abilities!
Type 1 is still very suitable for my purposes. In addition, type 1 is now even cheaper, see www.pilentum-television.com/en/video-equipment.htm
A very interesting camera! It's a bit of a shame the focal range is so narrow. Is it possible to adjust the f-stop to get a wider focal range?
The focal length cannot be changed optically. It is a fixed focal length with a field of view of about 80°. A wide angle lens is available as an accessory. I had bought this wide angle lens and tried this and immediately sent it back, because the wide angle lens reduces the quality of the video recordings significantly.
Ist gut! (my dad says it means good)
How are the results of the camera in the dark with led light
I have not taken any night shots yet.
I just bought the Pocket 2, and the wider field of view apparently shortens the depth of focus significantly. Enough that it may be totally unsuitable for cab ride videos. Was there anything you did to set the focus on your Pocket to get the results you got? Like go to single focus mode maybe? Any thoughts you may have would help...
Here's a link to a short test video using the 2: ua-cam.com/video/jJoDhgQkW8o/v-deo.html
Right! It is not easy to set the right (desired) focus point.
does this stream or only store on SD?
What guage r u filming in this video
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm just about to buy a DJI Pocket 2 for filming N-scale and H0 scale.
A question, is it possible to set the tracking to the rails? Will not the gimbal follow in the curves then?
I guess the rails do not provide enough contrast for the camera's electronic. But you can fix the focus on the tracks and additionally increase the gimbal follow speed (slow, normal, maximum).
Me doing N Scale would it work on its side
On a single-track line the camera will work. On a double tracked line (with oncoming rail traffic) there might be problems.
Sadly i dont have a lot of time to make cool movies since its at a model railroad exposition, but you can check here some videos of the DJI cam, starting from here on the video i put on my model railroad club, AR-rail club ARAD...

And what cost of camera?
The link of the camera is in the description of this video. It directs you to Amazon, and you will can there make an idea of the price yourself. 😉
You have to compare the prices! It's about 250 to 300 Euro, see:

Thanks, will buy in future
Sorry to disagree with the majority here, but, the camera is out of focus for most of the moving shots. The Gopro Session 5 is ten times better than this.
But the GoPro Session 5 camera is no longer sold.
@@pilentum You've completley missed my point. I know the Gopro 5 is not available, that's what I have now. The latest version is the 8 (which is better than the 5) I'm in the market for a new camera, and, after watching this video I certainley won't be buying this one. Can't you see the onboard shots are awful.
Hey i was on Ukrainian train galery, do you nead this video?
Please, write to post @ pilentum-television.com
Ok

Yeah nah yeah nah
