I might actually vlog now! I can't imagine walking down the street holding my A6600 pointed at myself without people staring, but with the Pocket 2, I can see myself using that in public.
MMA Via it has a bigger image sensor than iPhone 12 Pro and the other Samsung flagship I can’t remember the name of. So lowlight will be probably better than those for video.
"Entry" "Done" Reason - I work in an old people's nursing home and I've been using my old osmo pocket to film our residents. It's compact enough that it doesn't feel frightening to them. I'd love to be able to step the gear up. The size allows it to be a non-intrusive way to film in the care home without making everyone nervous. So I'd love one :)
"Entry" "Done" Reason; thorough review PJ, The Pocket 2 has matured in many small but significant aspects. I also, have matured since the first Pocket and I could appreciate using and having these improvements. Some improvements like the packaging just make it easier to handle.
Oh my goodness - the audio from that wireless is great. This has become a super nifty gadget for vloggers! I definitely need this - please let this dad vlogger win!
"Entry" "Done" Reason: I really need some stabilised cinematic footages and I also do like to talk to my viewers while I'm shooting pictures. Right now I had to record everything separate and do everything in edit. This camera will be so much helpful for me.
2:53 "It's coming out of something this small" That's what she said. 4:07 "I feel like the sweet spot is right there around 15 to 16mm" That's what she also said. (Don't blacklist me Gene. I want the Pocket)
Hey, just getting used to using my original DJI Pocket. Will continue to learn it before purchasing this upgrade (and then re-donating my gadget like I always do). Thank you for posting, left you a thumb up rating as this subscriber always does.
@@THEMATT222 Yeah, but I mean, if it's this bad, but they say they will improve it tremendously very quickly, surely they could have done that already. The only reasons I could see why this unit is the way it is are: 1. It will actually still take a while until that firmware comes out, so don't be surprised if your new gimbal camera doesn't focus well for a month or longer after purchase (maybe don't buy it yet...). 2. The "fixed" autofocus is better, but not great. Delivering this as a review unit allows them to give an excuse, meaning you (and Gene) are now expecting the final version to be much better than it actually will be. This will hardly be a reason to return your Pocket 2 if you buy one, so ultimately, they would sell you a feature that they never deliver.
Brooooo this was an UNBELIEVABLY entertaining and informative video for a device that I knew I would immediately order once unveiled. Love the integration of a trip with your wife/gf? to showcase real life recording scenarios! I’ll be making a similar such video when mine comes in! Excellent work! I subscribed
Big question! Does it save on larger than 4Gb files? Last one cut files at 4gb and it sometimes lost audio. It meant I could not rely o the audio from the osmo pocket. Video wa salways excellent though
The reason for this isn't the camera, it's the file format of the SD cards. Fat32 file format is compatible with all devices and OS's and is the standard that all cameras currently use. However it was created in 1977 and it's not physical capable of processing individual files larger than 4 GB.
@@WanderingWolf365 iPhone showed us what they can do with 12mp, which others can't do with 48,64,108! Mp cams 😎 Its called perfect hardware meets awesome softwares.
@@sirajulalam8610 Lol no. You can't trick physics. A 12 mp camera means you're basically never going to crop your photos. No amount of tuning can increase pixels. Do you like 640x480 monitors? Or 480p UA-cam videos? - WW
I made my first review video ( of this camera ) and just started the UA-cam journey. I was blown away to see your video was the top video suggesting my first video since you have always been one of my favorite creators to watch. I aspire to reach your level one day. Thanks for all of the content you’ve put out there even though it can be a serious grind at times.. hopefully an enjoyable one… ..except when you’re fly food.
I wanted to get the original, but I couldn't justify it. This creator pack looks like a winning combo that would get me to finally pull the trigger. The video quality is astounding for something this small.
I am in love with how dji did their case for it. So much for functional for every accessory. I got the expansion kit for the first osmo pocket and I have to always find a place to store the wifi adapter and controller. Did you have your phone connected to the osmo pocket for the last shot?
Good luck on the giveaway! I have much better luck walking in a straight line towards a moving train and surviving than winning giveaways like this so good luck all!
Thank you for sharing that! I have version 1 and have used it a lot for my walkabout pepper videos. It looks like the new one has a lot of improvements.
“Entry” “Done” Reason: I want to get into filmmaking and need a camera to get started. I know that this camera is probably not the very best for this but i don't have an income to be spending large amounts of money on cameras and equipment because im in school rn but i hope after school i can get into filmmaking and cinematography. Another reason I want/need this is I want to start making Volg content for my youtube content.
“Entry” “Done” Reason: looks so easy to use for when you want to make quick and simple videos that still look awesome. Love and trust all of my DJI products 👍
“ENTRY” “DONE” REASON: ii literally JUST bought the first one not knowing that the pocket 2 was coming out. So I’ve spent about 800$ on the camera and accessories to be able to use it for music videos and to use it wirelessly. I love DJI, I have been using it for years way before the pocket was even invented and I gotta say that all of the updates are perfect!! Exactly what I need in order to shoot easier with this small pocket camera and change the music video game. I want to show people that it’s not what you use, it’s HOW you make use of what you have.
brother all jokes aside,a fly just landed on my laptop monitor directly on your head, then the scene of a fly actually on your head came after, pure madness 😂
I am also in FPV, I understand your pain :P Btw, it's 349$ and you can get the original osmo pocket for cheaper! I saw it for 299$ I believe during sales event.
"Entry" "Done" Reason: This will be so good for my needs especially when im riding my road bike. Opens up so many ways of filming with the stabilizer as well as the small form factor!
I actually went out and tried all the action cameras...except for the gopro series...and found that this one...no action camera can beat...although its not an action camera the low light performance is the BEST in class...if you have a 200-400$ phone that shoots decent video but crappy video at night....this one is better than an iphone Period...
The flies is a very good test to the new Pocket 2. I can see clearly that they flied around your face. Flies, you guys did a good job. This video is fun.
"Entry" "Done" Didn't notice any guide in the video but I've got nothing to lose when I try. I've been vlogging for 8 years with no decent camera and shaky footage. If I win these could be a great birthday gift for me. I always dream of having an osmo pocket. The bug part is funny tho 😄😄
That bug eating segment had me cracking up. Well done. And I'm anxiously awaiting my Pocket 2's arrival. Loved the Osmo Pocket, but I lost it in a Lyft in San Francisco. Excited to replace it. Thanks for the review.
"entry" Done Reason : these stuff is too expensive for me. My dream is to travel around and vlogging but I can't afford to buy a vlogging camera. I'm really trying so hard to get one but I can't. Electronics are very expensive in Egypt. All the taxes and everything makes buying stuff from other countries very hard too
Ha ha ha! You spitting out that fly is by far the funniest thing I have seen all day. Thanks. I really needed a belly laugh like that. You have a great channel. You know your stuff and are fun to watch. Keep up all of your good work. Oh yeah, You might have convinced me about his cam. I am sick of carrying stuff around. ;)
Nice video. I was cracking up over the bugs. I hate when I'm about to fly my drone and get attacked by the nats and mosquitoes. It gets to the point I have to stop flying. I bought an ispect repellant wrist band watch and it helps alot. It was a must for me for where I live.
Thanks dude, would be great if you could compare this to a phone quality wise for Video, also against a zv1 for example. Have they fixed the autofocus, seemed to lose face focus and find the background a lot. I remember you saying you swallowed a fly in a previous video. Only just come across this one.
“Entry” “Done” Reason: I’ve been working on some video journalism for my school and this camera would be absolutely perfect for getting run-and-gun footage for news segments (particularly sports, theater, and other high-energy events once COVID lifts).
I loved this review. I have been thinking about getting one of these dji pocket2, so since your review was so cool and honest, I am going to use your affiliate links. Thank you again and I look forward to seeing more.
"Entry" "Done" Reason: During this pandemic, I have learnt a new skill, that is video filming and editing. That is why I need this osmo pocket to start my next career
I noticed when you put the magnetic lens on it struggled to focus at times, I wonder if that is a problem or not or was the lens a little dirty perhaps.
Maybe you got so many BUGS because it’s still an early version firmware.
Good One!!!

This is the third, and by *far* the best, review I have watched about the Pocket 2 camera. Great work.
The image quality of this little camera is honestly blowing me away. I expected it to look a lot worse
The image was good. The wireless mic audio was terrible.

It's going to be still 4gb. The Mavic air2 drone still saves to 4gb chunks. So i believe it's the same technology.
@@gregtay67 That's disappointing if that is true. There are times when it loses a bit of audio or has that been fixed?
