Ive had 3 gopros all have broke within a year of using and yet I kept buying them. Now all I use is dji and never a problem. Just pre ordered my pocket thanks for most informational video!
Technically 3rd gen osmo w/ camera ;) 1-Osmo 2-Osmo+ 3-Osmo Pocket. Nice video nevertheless. :-) also Alex. Jealous of your F800GS. Nice bike! Be safe!
@@5MinuteGuide i figured it would make sense to only mention the "consumer-grade" Osmos with built-in cameras. The Osmo Pro is the pro version of the Osmo+. The pro market is still waiting for the Osmo 2 Pro for their X5s and X7 gimbals!
Very nice video! The only thing wrong for me is: 1) one cannot use the phone attachment and the control wheel at the same time? Why not have the option to mount on opposite sides? (in a shape of a cross?) 2) Can we shoot 4k/ 60fps with it?
Very compelling use case for such a portable device! I’m still torn between this and the Hero 7 Black though.. seems the Hero has better picture quality but with a little more of the fish eye effect.. but the technology of the Osmo such as the Bluetooth/stand and the stitching effect makes for a very compelling argument. Great job! I’m now a subs.
The first impression was: I want this camera instead of my gopro 7. But after looking at the reviews I saw some big flaws: 1) bad sound 2) something incomprehensible with autofocus 3) small dynamic range. If I'm wrong, please correct me DJI Osmo Pocket owners
I have watched three other reviews of the Osmo Pocket but this review has it all, thanks for the time and trouble you have taken to do this, I will have to get one. Regards Tony from Australia
Stephen Kearon My worries exactly! The stress on the ports in real. Not going to damage my expensive phone with this device. Also it’s very very fragile and not weather proof. I’ll take a little less picture quality for something reliable. Take care, Bill in Utah
Great video, thanks. One important feature GoPro has that this lacks is built-in GPS. Geotagging video or photos is essential for mapping, asset inspection etc.
It's good device. It can kill mobile gimballs it's actually a gimball killer thinking about it. I'm already moving onto 360 action cams as you can capture all around you and can track you mates. And editing software is getting better. 360 action cams are the future for me . The pictures/ videos are interactive and you can capture full 360 of you excursions, bike, jetski, skiing, sight tours. I'll get one of these later next year for the smallness. It's better than bringing my massive gimbal out. Saves way more space in my travel bag.
Franchement une superbe vidéo. Merci de nous avoir tous détaillé. Notamment au niveau du son car j’avais quelques questionnement sur le sujet du micro embarqué. Je pense utiliser cette caméra pour ma chaîne. 👍
You can't via the gimbal itself. Once you turn it on, it maintains the pro mode UNTIL you want to change something, then you have to exit the pro mode.
It looks like it still suffers from the same problem that all of these handheld gimbals do: the vertical bouncy motion when you walk. I suppose if you applied Steadicam walking techniques while you were shooting it would mitigate that somewhat, but the wobbly motion would be a no-game-changer for me. Wouldn't want to purchase this thing for that reason alone.
Great review, very detailed and well done. From my understanding you can change picture mode, saturation etc. when Hooked into your phone or were you talking independently?
I was initially apprehensive but I think this will be a game changer , assuming that the video quality is acceptable then the big point for me would be the ability to use an external microphone to improve audio quality and reduce wind noise , which is my biggest gripe with using the excellent Osmo Mobile with my iPhone . Great revue as always.
Finally DJI has heard from us, the thing that I don't like about DJI OSMO MOBILE 2 was the file arrangement and naming of the files, it will mess up whole iPhone photo library after imported into it, as in I don't want to mix up my clips between iPhone and Osmo, I was so frustrated about it when sorting out my clips like which one is taken by iPhone and which one is taken by DJI. Now we have Osmo Pocket with SD card, it separates the files clearly and easier for us to edit the videos.
so even with accessories being available in future, im thinking there will be too much of dismounting and mounting. example: if you have the wireless modular on in the bottom, and you want to install the tripod mount, you have to take the wireless mod off and install the tripod mount or a microphone. in general you won't be able to have all your accessories mounted and use them as you go
Would be cool if they use the Bluetooth adapter to allow us to use our phone as an external mic via lav mic or the phone mic then auto sinc inside the camera.
@@ZO5150 now I like that idea alot. My concern with external mic is getting a rode vid micro mounted on it. Hopefully someone makes a nice 3d printed mount for it
Frank Sarfino I was hoping for a more elegant version of a Sennheiser memory mic. From the looks of it, as long as you have Bluetooth capability the rest is just a software job.
Wow! What a surprise. Very good presentation. It is so small, but I think the question is: If you have a new smartphone with great camera quality add this to Osmo mobile 2....why you should by the new one? Only a matter of size? And maybe the quality is worser as from smartphone...And the price Osmo mobile 2 for 119€ against 359€ for the pocket one...
I am a osmo mobile 2 owner and i can say that was one of my biggest mistake buy. (The movement is not fluent the motors are not strong enough to handle an iphone plus, can not operate together with an optical stabiliser in the phone ...) and actually it is big so i would prefer this one over the osmo mobile 2 my only concern with this one is the colours seems to be wrong everything seems to be like you filtered with a purple filter plus I see on the test shots also when you have to track a constant speed something it is not tracking fluently but sometimes moves than almost stops and than almost jumps fast to catch up ... That was one of the problems with the osmo mobile 2 also
@@zoltanpetofi2146 Regarding just to the price (presuming owning a high end smartphone) you say Osmo Mobile 2 is that worse? I'm thinking in near future to buy one: Osmo Mobile 2 or Osmo Pocket
This is why. I have a note 9. the osmo pocket wins. Depth of Field, tracking.. even if my note 9 goes to f1.4, it still doesn't feel real as nice as the footages i've seen for low light on the osmo pocket. Plus you have to attach that every time. it's way heavier to have a phone, osmo mobile combo. filming while travelling will be so much easier. Vlog is better as well since when you vlog with a phone, you use the front facing camera which is never the best.
Great fantastic review. Do you know if you are able with the help of the wireless adapter to connect a Bluetooth microphone and use the audio from that one? All camera makers seem to focus on the video but the audio gets overlooked and for vloggers that would be very important. Thanks.
This is a TikTokers dream device 😂 for video that is... Edit: but in all reality guys, this thing is a game changer. It suits good quality and stability. The selling point is that it's packed in a little on-the-go gimbal device. 1080p 60fps is all you need for YT these days. This device is to be strictly used for b-roll and time lapse. Now on-the-go film makers can get some quality and lightweight footage fairly easily! Yey :) ***DON'T USE THIS DEVICE FOR AUDIO RECORDING. WAIT FOR A FUTURE MODEL****
Machenic gimbal is better than electronic. Gopro is pressed to come up with more innovations. Seriously, from gopro 3 to 7, i haven't seen and game changing innovations. But DJI has been pushing the boundery since Phantom 3. Osmo Pocket is not perfect. But it's definitely more flexible , more innovative.
Hi. I tested on my bike the Karma Grip with Gopro 5 and a Feiyutech WG2 gimbal together with Gopro Session. Both of them failed due to wind speed. I didn't do it on the highway, I did it on a curvy road, the way you did. So, the DJI Osmo Pocker seems right for this. In your test the passenger hold the camera, right? But what about the time you are alone on the bike? Do we have a set of mounts for the bikes?
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA No, I don't have one yet. I'm saving up some money for the Panasonic GH5 right now. But I an thinking about maybe putting that on hold and getting this little guy 😂😂

It's shit.. Do yourself a favour and don't buy it. The guy said they thought about the design... Its totally backwards. Misplaced plugs etc.. Only positive is the picture quality.
Great content ... enjoyed it ... in daylight what shutter speed do you use? Can you follow 180 rule? If not, how do you solve this issue in post?Do you know if mavic 2 pro nd filters fit on this one?
I would like to hear an external mic set up on this. AUDIO is the hardest and most IMPORTANT aspect when Vlogging and the GoPro Karma stick fails miserably at this. Hoping for a better outcome here. Thanks for the good review. Juan.
Some are commenting that the audio is poor, but that's most likely if the audio hasn't been processed post-edit. You rarely utilise audio from any device without applying basic filters, the Osmo Pocket is no different. Have a listen to the onboard audio from our 4K Part 2 review, where we applied the basic Adobe Premiere 'Vocal Enhancer'.
frame rates ? does it have 120 fps hd ? i have a sony A6300 , an HTC re action cam , a mavic air and a zhiyun smooth q. (with a MI pocofone f1) . looking forward to get a mirrorless dslr stablizer (assccom 399$) . should i get a dslr gimbal or should i get the pocket ?
I just brought a broken Osmo pocket 1 (for spares) that someone had dropped and I can report that it did not fare well; the roll axis motor had been pushed past its end stops, which caused enough internal damage to stop that motor from smoothly moving. tl;dr: Don't drop your Osmo Pocket!
Your camera work from your friend is really really good. What main camera / gimbal are you using? Really well edited and presented production. Surprised you haven't got more subscribers.
DJI's lack of audio experience strikes again. Wish the USB-C to aux in adapter was in the box. The audio adapter is not even on the store yet that I can find.
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS audio adaptor is shown on dji site with the rest of the accessories, it’s the little thing under the ‘nd’ filters. Unfortunately, it fits into the charge port underneath the handle🤦🏼♂️
chasiu75 haha, its got to be said it’s not the most inspirational of designs. Go pro was launched as a simple, lightweight, robust and water proof means of capturing ‘action’ footage from POV. Someone jumping out of an aeroplane doesn’t need a mic, underwater doesn’t need mic, skiing @25+mph doesn’t need a mic, etc , etc. Nowadays they want a slice of the vlogging action.. best of luck to them and anyone else who wishes to use there products... not for me, thanks. Have a great day
I don't understand why so many manufactures don't just add a normal mic 3.5mm plug. I run most of my cameras on an ebike, so I have powered USB ports for each camera, then I run a mini boom mic. The Sony Fdr x3000 has been great, apparently I'll just keep using it for video and the dedicated audio, and have the Osmo use the onboard. Too much windnoise without a dead cat, so the onboard Osmo audio wouldn't do too well.
"Game changer" to me would be a 10-bit camera, even if only 30 fps. I think it's great they created this, but those already "in the game" probably won't need it as much as people think. Run and gun and journalists, absolutely. Final product people who sell their footage, not so much. Yes, some will absolutely succeed in using it, but if you're shooting 10, 12 or 14-bit primarily, the 8-bit 1/2.3 will definitely show in parts of your video. Crop factor on M43 cameras are already a struggle with depth of field unless very close and wide aperture lenses. A 6x crop on a 2.0 lens will still behave like an f/12 aperture on a 35mm full frame camera in regards to bokeh. Everything will be in focus except anything right next to you. That said, I think it'd be great for things like mounting to a motorcycle. Travel vlogging (if you can bring better audio) or family day out. I didn't see, but I hope they have a first person mode like the Mavic 1 does. On a motorcycle, you'd want that leaning action from a rider's perspective. Obviously, this is my personal preference. I prefer quality over size. Granted, it's not designed to compete with larger cameras, it starts to lose the "pocket" label with all of the accessories it seems to need to make it more functional.
I think GP7 still has its market, for now. There are still plenty of Gopro fan boys. Just look at the comment area of each osmo pocket review video. Gopro is pressed to come up with more innovations. Seriously, from gopro 3 to 7, i haven't seen and game changing innovations. But DJI has been pushing the boundery since Phantom 3. Osmo Pocket is not perfect. But it's definitely more flexible , more innovative.
that is a two different cameras, wondering how dji would do that, gopro is an action camera, the dji pocket probably would be a good choice for vloggers, but still 1-2 good drops and you can say bye bye to your pocket osmo.
Have you tried to hook up and external microphone with a USB-C to 3.5MM audio adapter? And if so, does that work? I know DJI has an external mic adapter, but no one seems to know when that accessory will be available. Thanks.
@@cohcoh668 I was waiting for the osmo pocket a long long time ...but they completely failed by giving us a smartphone like sensor in our pockets where already is one :-( ... That's soooo stupid! ...I will go now for the Hero 7 and sell it if DJI give us a osmo pocket version with the 1' sensor of the mavic pro 2. That's the only way the osmo pocket would have made sense. I bet my Galaxy s10 (in Feb.) will give me better Video than the osmo pocket can offer now... that's a shame for an specialised extra divece. btw. I never had a GoPro in my life becaus didtn like it's shaky footage 😂 ... still i have no idea how a action cam company totaly missed stabilation until last year and still have no IBIS🙈. That's so stupid as well.
With the announced mic extension plugged in, the only way to put the device on a tripod must be via a selfie stick with integrated tripod attached to the smartphone. But neither way you won't be able to use a powerbank for extended usage. So, not very useful for long recordings with higher audio quality, unless the aftermarket comes up with some creative solutions...
nice review. will i be able to plug a an external charger for extended recording (like a power bank ?) also how did u find the low light preformance vs Gopro 7 ? keep up the good work !!!
Will the Pro mode settings persist on the camera even after you disconnect the phone? It seems like the auto settings learn toward overexposure. It'd be nice to correct that once and then not have to leave the phone connected to it.
Minus a good mic and what appears to be pretty bad focusing which I hope they can rectify. Every review that I've seen crop seems to be too much and it has a problem focusing just on the subjects rather than the background
@@marcusnartatez we must all have too cameras by now and we must all know that patches come out for everything??? I think its a must have its everything ive been trying to buy in one and i can put it in my poket that's ridiculous plus 4k?? And i edit on my phone also so its perfect ill only have to walk with this and my drone
@@WhatsThisThenLucchiSupremeson yes but adding a mic hurts the portability aspect of it a bit for me. I pre-ordered the camera but there are 4 main issues I have. The field of view is pretty nerrow so for selfie vlog shooting it is very limiting. 2.The focus, even though it does have face track, seems to "breath" in alot in almost every video that I've seen. 3 having the osmo plus which has a better sensor and camera on it, we know this because of the drones that these cameras are attached too, really falls apart in low light and I have a sneaky suspicion is that one of the stipulations Early Access to this camera was not to talk about the low light capability. There are now over dozen reviews on UA-cam and not one mention of lowlights which is usually one of the first things to test. And lastly like I mentioned previously the sound quality is not great and having to put a proper mic on it does hinder its strongest feature, it's size, a bit for me. I think this would be a great b roll camera. But I can't see it replacing it's true vlogging setup
Thanks for the review. Many good features but its missing basic things like a tripod mount. Perhaps next generation or a competing product may offer it.
Why is the sky always blown out? Way too narrow FOV for the motorcycle and waaay to close for the vlogging. Audio sounds horrible! Not a bad gimmicky device, but once you add the phone it's no longer a little device., Why not just get a gimbal for the phone? At least with a phone Gimbal you can upgrade anytime you want. With this, you're stuck with the same camera.
Does it have a mic jack? what if needed to upgrade the sounds? and is the osmo safe when connected to the mobile phone what if accidentally bump into something will it dis-attached?
Room for improvement in the next version: 1. Removable battery (and less heat) 2. At least 1 inch sensor 3. Better mic (without need for external mic) 4. More stable bottom when standing on its own (rubberized would be good)
but that's not an action camera. If I want gimbal-stabilized videos, I get osmo mobile 2 at 100$ and use the cellphone. Dimensions of the gimbal only are not that bigger than this one. it makes NO sense. ONLY if the gimbal would be detatchable and to be used as a WG2, then it would be MINIMAL.
smitthone isnt the quality of the camera better than any cell phone ? Can you control the camera wirelessly, like tracking for example , no need for camera man
What were you filming on before? It looks much better than the Pocket. The Pocket was always over exposed. Is there a setting for that in regular mode?
Definitely going to need that nd filter set for this thing. I can see how easy it'd be to blow out the shot
Ive had 3 gopros all have broke within a year of using and yet I kept buying them. Now all I use is dji and never a problem. Just pre ordered my pocket thanks for most informational video!

maybe also because its realy expencieve 360€ is a lot of cash for a cam. Even if its so freaking good. @@s13n1
Hi Alex, great review video, congrats!!, what camera are you using to shot this video?
External mic for Vlogging or is it a b roll machine only?
How is the onboard mic?
Go to 7.42 :)
frame rates ? does it have 120 fps hd ?
i have a sony A6300 , an HTC re action cam , a mavic air and a zhiyun smooth q. (with a MI pocofone f1) . looking forward to get a mirrorless dslr stablizer (assccom 399$) . should i get a dslr gimbal or should i get the pocket ?
Can you do a drop test or bend test? Thanks!
Hahahahah don't you know us? :)
I just brought a broken Osmo pocket 1 (for spares) that someone had dropped and I can report that it did not fare well; the roll axis motor had been pushed past its end stops, which caused enough internal damage to stop that motor from smoothly moving. tl;dr: Don't drop your Osmo Pocket!
for wedding shoot, which one you prefer.. OSMO PLUS or OSMO POCKET?
3.5mm mic adapter?
Coming soon...
So far I think the Osmo is great... Tried mine at Disneyland.. One question, not sure how to focus? Just tap the screen?
Nice tool, but dynamic range looks really bad.
I noticed that that highlights were quite blown. Not sure if it's these guys' preference in editing, or the limitation of the sensor (or profile).
For a finer tune I imagine that you will need to connect your phone and adjust setting in "Pro" mode. Don't think is that of a big deal
Jaroslav Atry needs Nd filter
Your camera work from your friend is really really good. What main camera / gimbal are you using? Really well edited and presented production. Surprised you haven't got more subscribers.
DJI's lack of audio experience strikes again. Wish the USB-C to aux in adapter was in the box. The audio adapter is not even on the store yet that I can find.
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS audio adaptor is shown on dji site with the rest of the accessories, it’s the little thing under the ‘nd’ filters. Unfortunately, it fits into the charge port underneath the handle🤦🏼♂️
@@therealdougblueskies Why can DJI make a small audio adapter but GoPro has such a huge brick?
chasiu75 haha, its got to be said it’s not the most inspirational of designs. Go pro was launched as a simple, lightweight, robust and water proof means of capturing ‘action’ footage from POV. Someone jumping out of an aeroplane doesn’t need a mic, underwater doesn’t need mic, skiing @25+mph doesn’t need a mic, etc , etc. Nowadays they want a slice of the vlogging action.. best of luck to them and anyone else who wishes to use there products... not for me, thanks. Have a great day
I don't understand why so many manufactures don't just add a normal mic 3.5mm plug. I run most of my cameras on an ebike, so I have powered USB ports for each camera, then I run a mini boom mic. The Sony Fdr x3000 has been great, apparently I'll just keep using it for video and the dedicated audio, and have the Osmo use the onboard. Too much windnoise without a dead cat, so the onboard Osmo audio wouldn't do too well.
For any serious recording you have to use external audit recorder. Every professional does it.
"Game changer" to me would be a 10-bit camera, even if only 30 fps. I think it's great they created this, but those already "in the game" probably won't need it as much as people think. Run and gun and journalists, absolutely. Final product people who sell their footage, not so much. Yes, some will absolutely succeed in using it, but if you're shooting 10, 12 or 14-bit primarily, the 8-bit 1/2.3 will definitely show in parts of your video. Crop factor on M43 cameras are already a struggle with depth of field unless very close and wide aperture lenses. A 6x crop on a 2.0 lens will still behave like an f/12 aperture on a 35mm full frame camera in regards to bokeh. Everything will be in focus except anything right next to you.
That said, I think it'd be great for things like mounting to a motorcycle. Travel vlogging (if you can bring better audio) or family day out. I didn't see, but I hope they have a first person mode like the Mavic 1 does. On a motorcycle, you'd want that leaning action from a rider's perspective.
Obviously, this is my personal preference. I prefer quality over size. Granted, it's not designed to compete with larger cameras, it starts to lose the "pocket" label with all of the accessories it seems to need to make it more functional.
First DJI destroyed gopros drone ambitions. Now they're gonna destroy their entire action cam business.
asianskywalker DJI have stress from FAA. They have to promote some new products to lower crisis.
Is there 100% different animals.
I think GP7 still has its market, for now. There are still plenty of Gopro fan boys. Just look at the comment area of each osmo pocket review video. Gopro is pressed to come up with more innovations. Seriously, from gopro 3 to 7, i haven't seen and game changing innovations. But DJI has been pushing the boundery since Phantom 3. Osmo Pocket is not perfect. But it's definitely more flexible , more innovative.
that is a two different cameras, wondering how dji would do that, gopro is an action camera, the dji pocket probably would be a good choice for vloggers, but still 1-2 good drops and you can say bye bye to your pocket osmo.
This doesn't replace an action camera. This would break very easy. Also you can't go playing with this in the water.
Have you tried to hook up and external microphone with a USB-C to 3.5MM audio adapter? And if so, does that work? I know DJI has an external mic adapter, but no one seems to know when that accessory will be available. Thanks.
that will be the solution.
The 6 people who gave this a thumbs down just bought a GoPro. 🤣
hahaha right
I just bought a GoPro 3 weeks ago :(
Mord like Gopro fan boys. They are trolling every Osmo Pocket reviews, especially the ones thay compare the two.
@@cohcoh668 I was waiting for the osmo pocket a long long time ...but they completely failed by giving us a smartphone like sensor in our pockets where already is one :-( ... That's soooo stupid! ...I will go now for the Hero 7 and sell it if DJI give us a osmo pocket version with the 1' sensor of the mavic pro 2. That's the only way the osmo pocket would have made sense.
I bet my Galaxy s10 (in Feb.) will give me better Video than the osmo pocket can offer now... that's a shame for an specialised extra divece.
btw. I never had a GoPro in my life becaus didtn like it's shaky footage 😂 ... still i have no idea how a action cam company totaly missed stabilation until last year and still have no IBIS🙈. That's so stupid as well.
@@patfish3291 , what would you expect for $350?;) 1inch sensor similar to that of Mavic 2 Pro will probably cost 500 and more.
Great vid! Filming during riding your bike .....did you use tilt lock because of the wind?
But you haven't even thrown it against and tree yet
give me one week
lol@@WeTalkUAV
Hi. You think this can be used as a backup camera for shooting weddings? Just for creative shooting?
"In the old times like back in the 90s " HAHAHAHA hilarious. were action cams even invented back then?
For mobiles with no lightning or USB C, the only possibility for connecting it is by the wireless adapter? There is no micro USB adapter?
DJI is a company of China I am very proud for it
Yes... but I will say DJI is more of a global company now...
With the announced mic extension plugged in, the only way to put the device on a tripod must be via a selfie stick with integrated tripod attached to the smartphone. But neither way you won't be able to use a powerbank for extended usage. So, not very useful for long recordings with higher audio quality, unless the aftermarket comes up with some creative solutions...
very good review mate..new subs.
thanks
Really great review!!! Have you colorgraded the Pocket footage, or is it without any modification?
Can you stream to FB Live with it?...
nice review. will i be able to plug a an external charger for extended recording (like a power bank ?) also how did u find the low light preformance vs Gopro 7 ?
keep up the good work !!!
I cannot believe they haven't made an audio adapter that gives you professional audio onto the video
They have: it comes as an additional accessory which is much more compact and light than GoPro's humongous block...
At 14:56 is the one and only reason I bought this gimbal for car videos while driving fast the wind resistance is amazing 😉
dji did it again, now I don't have to carry my Canon camera to vlog!
Yes! That's the point! For casual vlog or travel videos it is the perfect tool!
Great video, very helpful and precise. Thanks!
Huawei Mate 20 Pro + Dji Osmo Pocket
double "made in china". So no thank you
@@lousoufl2896 China is advancing. Get over it!
L L *LOL, they’re sought after, you sour grape*
Mate 20 pro camera vs osmo pocket camera which one is better?
@@lousoufl2896 It's time for Mr. Trump to deport all non-whites in USA and ban ALL China products.
Should i buy this for vlogging? I use now Sony A7III..
why don`t you adress the af issues which this product has?
Why did at the end of the video.
Will the Pro mode settings persist on the camera even after you disconnect the phone? It seems like the auto settings learn toward overexposure. It'd be nice to correct that once and then not have to leave the phone connected to it.
All our vlog dreams are answered
Minus a good mic and what appears to be pretty bad focusing which I hope they can rectify. Every review that I've seen crop seems to be too much and it has a problem focusing just on the subjects rather than the background
@@marcusnartatez we must all have too cameras by now and we must all know that patches come out for everything??? I think its a must have its everything ive been trying to buy in one and i can put it in my poket that's ridiculous plus 4k?? And i edit on my phone also so its perfect ill only have to walk with this and my drone
@@marcusnartatez oh and u can put an external mic on it soo
@@WhatsThisThenLucchiSupremeson yes but adding a mic hurts the portability aspect of it a bit for me. I pre-ordered the camera but there are 4 main issues I have. The field of view is pretty nerrow so for selfie vlog shooting it is very limiting. 2.The focus, even though it does have face track, seems to "breath" in alot in almost every video that I've seen. 3 having the osmo plus which has a better sensor and camera on it, we know this because of the drones that these cameras are attached too, really falls apart in low light and I have a sneaky suspicion is that one of the stipulations Early Access to this camera was not to talk about the low light capability. There are now over dozen reviews on UA-cam and not one mention of lowlights which is usually one of the first things to test. And lastly like I mentioned previously the sound quality is not great and having to put a proper mic on it does hinder its strongest feature, it's size, a bit for me. I think this would be a great b roll camera. But I can't see it replacing it's true vlogging setup
@@marcusnartatez ive seen a review of it where they filmed at night and it looked better and they edited the voice ill Send u a link
Thanks for the review. Many good features but its missing basic things like a tripod mount. Perhaps next generation or a competing product may offer it.
Why is the sky always blown out? Way too narrow FOV for the motorcycle and waaay to close for the vlogging. Audio sounds horrible!
Not a bad gimmicky device, but once you add the phone it's no longer a little device., Why not just get a gimbal for the phone? At least with a phone Gimbal you can upgrade anytime you want. With this, you're stuck with the same camera.
you'll never be able to film in windy conditions with a phone gimbal. otherwise, your points are valid
Meh
Does it have a mic jack? what if needed to upgrade the sounds? and is the osmo safe when connected to the mobile phone what if accidentally bump into something will it dis-attached?
This can do 4K 60 but my Mavic 2 can’t? What a joke.😤
that's a boom...
Seriously
The didn't wanted to kill the Phantom4 Pro, that is the only reason
Room for improvement in the next version: 1. Removable battery (and less heat) 2. At least 1 inch sensor 3. Better mic (without need for external mic) 4. More stable bottom when standing on its own (rubberized would be good)
*GO PRO HAS LEFT THE CHAT*
Are there different modes like how the Moza Aircross has a follow mode so if you tilt it up the gimbal gradually tilts the camera up?
Low dynamic range
it is very contrasted, but the dynamic range wasn't that bad (YT compression isn't good honestly)
Limitations of a small sensor. It does well for the price.
Any info on the battery? Can it be switched with another? 140 minutes isn’t great if you are on vacation wanting to film your day.
if anyone have money buy me one😞
iam sure no one will read this😔
😞
☹
Go get a job
Is the external mic adapter available now? If not, when? I wonder if not available now, will it work with existing OSMOS?
too EXPENSIVE!!
It's $50 cheaper than a GoPro!
but that's not an action camera. If I want gimbal-stabilized videos, I get osmo mobile 2 at 100$ and use the cellphone. Dimensions of the gimbal only are not that bigger than this one. it makes NO sense. ONLY if the gimbal would be detatchable and to be used as a WG2, then it would be MINIMAL.
@@smitthone that makes sense too...we will definitely make videos about that
smitthone isnt the quality of the camera better than any cell phone ? Can you control the camera wirelessly, like tracking for example , no need for camera man
Compared to...?
⚠️ BORAT !,, So glad your back in action. 👍🏼🇺🇸🇦🇲
Is there some kind of screw on it or something that you can attach it on a gopro mount? I have a bike and would love to be able to fix it somewhere
Does it have some sort of 1/4 screw on it aka tripod mount?
Does this camera have any type of optical or digital zoom?
What were you filming on before? It looks much better than the Pocket. The Pocket was always over exposed. Is there a setting for that in regular mode?
