A lot of people have been asking about the items shown in this video and where to buy them, links to all products show are in the video description 👍🏻
Ian Smith Maybe order direct just like I did. 👍🏼 Never make negative assumptions of people, it’ll just make you look worse!
Not sure if you guys cares but if you are bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf these days :)
@Ronin Kaiser definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)
Hello Gadget John! I am recently subscribed and wanted to let you how much I like your clear and concise explanations. As an American, I sometimes have difficulty understanding every word of some folks in the U.K. that talk very fast and pronounce and/or use certain words very differently than we do here in the States. I have no problem understanding you and your manner of speaking is very pleasant. You always get to the point and are very knowledgeable and prepared. I am now convinced to buy a DJI Osmo kit for myself! GREAT JOB AS USUAL!
I'm starting to like this now John with the accessories, was unsure at first as a stand alone product, but with the blue tooth and selfie stick set up I do like! Great review bud 😉👌👍👍👍
got my accessories today and what great fun will have to get that 3rd party holder thanks again stay safe
Excellent video on using the Pocket accessories! Your videos are always precise & concise!
I’m a subscriber (with Bell) and looking forward to future videos!
Thank you,
Phil

thanks for the great report got mine last week still learning assecories not out here yet stay safe
Again John a nice concise to the point introduction to the accessory pack 👍😃
Good review John,.....nice to see more :)
Good info. Thank You for sharing
I love the pocket so far im waiting for the Bluetooth connection to come and i have the go pro mount in use im loving the footage im getting so far
And i thought that i needed my eyes testing lol. Cheers for the video john 😁
yes l have just ordered one myself with the Expansion kit at £99 which save you £39 on the total items, l also had a discount of £15 from buyng a mavic 2, which made me feel bit better, buying the expansion kit together with the Osmo pocket also saves you postage, because if you buy the expansion kit by itself it would be under they free post, which starts around £120/30
It’s a great little camera, it will be interesting to see some of your videos with the new pieces of kit.
The campervan mods videos coming on my other channel are shot on the Osmo Pocket, as was the take camperavn vlog video at the Lakes.
I’m convinced
Thank you John for good review. Isn’t worth the cost? Will have to try out my new Osmo pocket along the Manchester canals next weekend hopefully 👍🏼
nice video John.
i have the same set up as far as the stick and phone holder , getting the kit tomorrow, so that wireless dock also charges the osmo at the same time? and im thinking with all these connections, it might be a little harsh on the phone battery?
Great review, lots of details. All I am looking for is a selfie stick that is very light weight and the accessory that would hold the pocket camera to the selfie stick. Any suggestions?
Ive still yet to pull the trigger on a Pocket as I'm waiting for the external mic accessory to be released. I do most of my filming out on open moorland where the wind is always blowing and the internal mic as it stands I don't think would cut the mustard.
Thanks for sharing
ATB Mike
StayCornish😬
Nice I think I will it
Have you tried a data cable from the phone to the pass-through port on the BT Cradle?
I stopped by the DJI store to check this out. Boy, it is tiny! I'm holding off to buy the new DJI Smart Controller. :)
👌good John
So You can live stream to UA-cam and Facebook once You put the module? Since it force connects a direct view.
What would be a recommended micro SD card to use in the Osmo Pocket for 4K use?
This video is amazing John! What’s the link to buy the tripod and bracket you have on the phone?
Thank you 😁 I’ll have a video released in 2 weeks that explains more about the tripods and phone holder etc. 👍🏼
Great review! I ordered the wheel and Bluetooth base in December and waiting for it to come. I’m sort of torn if the wheel is even needed if I have the base. Would you pick one over the other?
The base/Bluetooth adaptor would be my choice of the two 👍🏼
Thanks for the demo as I asked dji support , (and actually got an answer) wether we could fit the wireless mount and the accessories mount at the same time and they told me no
I couldn’t find anything online about that either, so I’m glad the video has helped you 👍🏼
Hi John grt review, really convinced with the setup. Please let me know what extension you were using and where to get the same.
It’s a dji osmo pole & phone holder from the original osmo mobile.
Thanks, links to all products show are in the video description 👍🏻
Hi John, great video, do you have a link please for the pole/tripod you have on your desk in this video with also the side phone holder? Many thanks
Thanks, links to all products show are in the video description 👍🏻
no feature to do 24 fps is a bummer ... looks like its only updated to use in PAL regions :I
Hello friend, I already purchased the 3.5mm adaptor and a lavalier mic, I thinking about to buy the expansion kit witch includes the bluetooth adaptor for the osmo pocket but I want to know if you can plug the 3.5 adaptor to the wireless adaptor to the usb c port in it and if the mic will work.
Do you hace any idea? Thanks!!!
congratulations for the video. the stick for the selfie you have the link where to buy it? with the original adapter you can put osmo pocket + wireless + selfie stick? or is another adapter necessary?
Look out for a video in 2 weeks showing how i connect all the bits and where you can buy them.
Hi, great video, what is the clamp that you have your iPhone in, on the monopod?
It’s a dji osmo pole & phone holder from the original osmo mobile.
I've been going back and forth on whether to get this or not. Another $100 plus bucks, I don't know. The mount covering up the connector area is a drag. I like the base with it's pass through and bluetooth. And, am not sure how much I'd use the scroll wheel. What to do, what to do?!?
Craig Rivota Oh I agree about the Pocket. I love it. Just not sure about the accessories.
Can we get some details on the extension pole system you're using, please, I can't find them on your website or in the video links.
That video will be out in about 2 weeks, still working on it now 👍🏼
I'm gonna have to get a job to pay for all this stuff! haha! ☘️🇨🇦🇮🇪💪🏽🤠👍🏽🇮🇪🇨🇦☘️
Sir what phone stand do u use ?
And finaly Osmo Pocket becomes worth buying :). Focusing... Did they fixed it?
Nice one John my camera comes tomorrow 👍
I’m stopping watching your channel my bank account can’t keep up 😀 I best order a kit now 🤔
Best Regards you 3 from us 3 👍😀🐾🍺🍟
Sorry mate 🤓 🍺🚐
I am now tempted myself Dave in getting one, nice little set up with the accessories 😉👍👍👍
Mark Collom #Iveavan get one it’s only money and having toys is a lot more fun 😀LOL
The memory card they included isn't ideal for the osmo pocket, right? It's only class 1.
Where, did you get the extension stick with the adapter for your phone , great idea and great video thanks
They’re the original osmo mobile accessories.
Don’t suppose you have a link please ?
It works is all that matter to me
Really helpful video, do you know if you could run an external mic via the USB C on the wireless module?
As yet there is no way to connect an external MIC, though DJI are soon to release an adaptor for this.
Hi John , Will the blue tooth stand / adapter stay in place with a mono pod / selfie stick using the third party bracket ( as shown ) ... Thanks for the video .
The bluetooth base uses a full size USB C connector and seems to stay in there quite well, it's not a tight fit though, so it could come off if you had the osmo hooked up on the side fo a car for example.
@@GadgetJohn Thank you
Hi i have a question,
It may sound stupid but can you connect the wireless module to a samsung phone that has a micro usb port? I have already tried different ways of connecting the osmo pocket to my samsung phone(OTG, male USB C to male micro USB,...) but none of them works. So i thought, maybe if i buy the wireless module, i finally can use the mimo app.
Yes, the wireless module allows you to connect any phone and use the Mimo app 👍🏼
Hello the phone holder is it separate from the stand and if so can u tell me where u purchased it from thank you, and how is the audio now with both accessories covering the microphone holes
It’s the original osmo mobile kit
Thanks, links to all products show are in the video description 👍🏻
How is the latendy/delay when using the phone as a wireless viewfinder?
As you can see in my video, it’s instant.
Great video! Does the BT adapter make it work with Android phones?
I’ve no idea if it works with every android, I have a galaxy note 5 and it works fine with that.
@@GadgetJohn OK cool! It should work with most then! Good news!
Can you do HDR video on it?
id connect it via cable to save on battery
👍👍👍
Is it possible to connect a bluetooth microphone directly to Osmo Pocket via this wireless base?
That won't work, the bluetooth connection doesn't support that.
That selfie stick tripod looks amazing- you have any info on where to purchase?
It’s a dji product
Thanks, links to all products show are in the video description 👍🏻
you said third party mount, BUT, where do you get that? and the name would be helpful?
Thank You
It’s all listed in the video description, at the end of my video there’s a message on screen advising to check the description for product links 👍🏼
If DJI truly listened to their users they would have offered a MicroUSB connection for it by now rather than relying on 3rd party companies to make it. I bought myself an Osmo Pocket + Accessory kit + Extension handle for Christmas not knowing that I "have to have" a cell phone before I can Activate the camera. Without being able to activate it I can't even take a video with it. But.. DJI did start my 2 year warranty I paid extra for.. before the camera was even delivered to me. Like every other DJI product I've purchased in the past, this one didn't neglect to be extremely frustrating, a major pain in the arse, and require 3rd party additions to get it to work (which I haven't actually accomplished yet.) I have a feeling this will be my last DJI product I ever buy.
so i just got this kit and Im having some issue with the wireless base, every time I click connect it doesn't do anything ?
Nothing was happening for me too until you detach the wheel accessory. Then you wait a few seconds and try and find the blue screen connection page and it worked. They do not make it easy they try and sell you stuff on the MIMO app more than help you. It should not be that hard to connect the bluetooth so they screwed up there.
How many meters away can you use your phone (bluetooth) to control Osmo pocket ?
That would all depend on other local interference from Bluetooth & WiFi devices, 10m should be ok.
Where did you get that selfie stick that holds both the phone and osmo pocket
It’s the original gear for the first osmo mobile.
Thanks, links to all products show are in the video description 👍🏻
The wireless connector does not work with all phones. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and I tried the adapter. DJI tried their best to help me configure the connector to work. Unfortunately it wouldn't work and I had to return it.
That sucks. I tested with a note 9 & it worked, in fact only a really old htc one wouldn’t work. But I have found Samsung have more Bluetooth, WiFi & cell signal issues than any other make.
Whats the point ? once you all the gear it blows out the size. Better of with a gopro 7. It's gone from compact to a full rig. Great vid tho John, thanx for sharing.
Not with the gopro fish eye.. Looks bad
thewonderofyou1 or shoot in Linear and fisheye gone.
@@asliceofjhow not in 4k 60fps you won't
It's just a shame that the wireless module didn't get a tripod mount underneath it.
I thought that too, but with the GoPro mount or 3rd party mount you get a better grip of the camera, the base is quite a loose fit on the BT module.
When I use the wireless module, my Osmo Pocket get very hot. Have you found this also ?
Not had that problem so far, are you running the new or old firmware?
Firmware v01.03.00.20 which I beleive is the last firmware. Will do some more test today and see ......
@@HahnelMichael Using the Wireless Module, the Osmo Pocket reached approx 55 to 60 degrees celcious ...... versus aprox 40 to 45 degrees when used normally (not wireless) .... all @ room temp 20C
Buy a cheap fishing pole (loads on e-bay) and you should get over 20 feet in the air using the thickest joints of an 8 metre pole. There are longer ones but prices obviously increase.
Fishing rods are far too flexible compared to most monopods, your video would be vomit inducing swaying around, the fishing poles seem to be expensive too by comparison.
@@GadgetJohn Fishing poles are much more rigid than "rods"". I have frequently used a DSLR on a tripod head at a height of 15 feet to shoot panoramas using the bottom sections of a pole. It is only the top joints of a pole that have much flexibilty. Some anglers use 13 meter poles which would probably have sufficient stiff sections to keep an osmo pocket steady enough for photography at 30 feet. An 8 metre pole can be picked up for under 30 quid though the price shoots up for the longer ones. Find an angler who uses a pole and you will see the potential for getting things in the air relatively cheaply.
@@GadgetJohn If you watch this from about 4.30 you will get some idea ua-cam.com/video/__yEsuN9tRI/v-deo.html
Glad somebody can get the accessories. Average Joe is SOOL.
I'm not getting special treatment, it's not like have a few subscribers gets you favour with DJI, they only take notice of people with over 50k subs.
dont you think it just turns it into a action cam gimbal sized device though? Its like my feiyu g6 with hero 7 but the hero has a bigger field of view?
And fish eye
@@thewonderofyou1 not in linear mode it's fine
@@garrygadget you can't use 4k hyper smooth in linear
@@thewonderofyou1 true but I only use a max of 1440p which is fine. Don't get me wrong I use the pocket as well but the 80 degree field of view is limiting and the crop at 120fps but it's a small price to pay for such a tiny package.
Garry Gadget I understand what you mean but why buy a 4K 60fps device and only use 2k...might as well get an older model..
where did you get a bluetooth one ???? all i can find is the wifi module???
As I said in the intro, I bought it direct form DJI.
Right I meant the Bluetooth, looking closer , it’s WiFi and Bluetooth, you kept saying Bluetooth but I was only finding the WiFi , after looking at specs they are both WiFi and Bluetooth
What is the phone holder that you use?
It’s a dji osmo pole & phone holder from the original osmo mobile.
@@GadgetJohn thanks
What is the point of using the thumb wheel when you’re using it wirelessly on the end of a pole?!
Just because the thumb wheel is on doesn't mean I'd use it, but as I can connect wirelessly it means I'd keep the thumb wheel on most of the time, on or off the pole/selfie stick.
You can put the goPro adapter on upside down and get access to the port. My God that extension pole looks like a game of mousetrap :)
You can’t due to the points I show in the video where it fits into the adaptor groove. 😕 the pole is the original osmo mobile kit 👍🏼
Unfortunately, the wireless stand doesn't work with all flavours of Android.☹️
Until they fix the focus pumping problem, I am not interested in expending more cash for accessories. The wheel is useless, it should have been a joystick. The wireless module should have included a 1/4"-20 socket on the bottom.
Worth it. But what is the reason behind the delay for providing the EU with this kit. Only pre orders, and it is postponed with an extra two weeks.Very bad DJI!
Ordered my kit on a Monday and it arrived the following Monday, I’m in the UK (Europe) too 👍🏼
Still waiting to see what the mic adapter is like for the Pocket... In the meantime, I just got the GoPro mic adapter for £40
😞 💸
Me too, I’ve no idea why it’s not available yet.
@@GadgetJohn worries me that I've only ever seen renders of the official mic adapter, yet eBay are listing Chinese dingly-dangly dongle mic adapters (with a mic) for £6, UK stock.
The mic adaptor was on display at the tech show we went to. I’ve no idea why it’s not for sale yet. Send me a link to the eBay item, I’ll get it and see if it works.
@@GadgetJohn the seller has a couple of interesting Osmo pocket accessories..
The USB-C audio adapter (with junky looking 3.5mm jack stereo mic)
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264108830802
A phone clamp with integrated Osmo support (and junky looking selfie stick)
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264098075246
Says the item is in Basildon, Essex, but delivery time of about 2 weeks. 🤔
My gopro selfie stick works great with this OSmo gopro adaptor 👍🏻 Just ordered the USB C mic kit now, see how that turns out then in 2 to 4 weeks 🤣
Has anyone tried to use the DJI Osmo pocket to do a Facebook Live. I wonder if we are stock with the camera control on the image while Live broadcasting.
Not possible AFAIK
@@IanWalmsley Do you think they will come out with an firmware update for this because many Vloggers love to live.
Would have been nice of DJI to add a small pocket in the accessory mount to store the IOS/USB adapter so we wouldn't lose the damn thing.
I spin it round and leave it in 👍🏼
Well, with all the add ons it no longer fits in your pocket. I would opt for the Gopro Hero 7 Black anytime. It fits in the palm of your hand, easily in your pocket, the footage is just as stabilised , the screen is larger and it is waterproof too. In fact, I sold my Osmo Pocket to buy the Hero 7 and I am happy that I did.
Both products are fantastic, but they do different jobs. They’re cameras and that’s where their similarities end, the osmo pocket is a prosumer filmmaking tool and the GoPro is an action camera. Having both at your disposal would be the best option 👌🏻
@@GadgetJohn Thanks for the reply. True. Yet most reviewers compare the two cameras. It is as if the barely hidden agenda is that DJI is aggressively trying to throttle Gopro. They put out the Mavic to beat the Karma and in that case the Mavic easily and clearly deservedly won. I have a Mavic and love it. With the well timed Osmo release we have this UA-cam fed battle between the two cameras. I respect how you have not joined in.
And still no tripod mount that should have been incorporated without an accessory....
The base is too loose to be trusted with a tripod fixing, so you’d use a GoPro tripod adaptor and the osmo GoPro accessory which works perfectly 👍🏼
@@GadgetJohn The point is that the body should have been designed with a tripod mount incorporated. Thanks for your review.
So something named ‘Pocket’ now seems to have outgrown the storage area it was intended for. All of these accessories could have been built-in - wi-fi, a tripod thread on the base, a mini-thumbstick (or detachable one ) - instead it’s extra cash for more items to carry and potentially lose. That’s either ill considered design work or a cash grab.
Everything you see fits perfectly in my pocket still, even the pole and phone holder. I think it’s great and the ability to choose what to add on is also great, but until you get one you’ll not see how small all this gear is.
Gadget John You must have some damn big pockets then! 😅 I have a Pocket, so I’m fully aware of how small it is and how DJI are also just cashing in with these accessories. I’ve been using DJI equipment for years and the formula from them is consistent - sell a semi-crippled item then wade in with the accessories to make it what it should have been in the first place.
I think we all have deep pockets to buy their gear 😉 As a tech reviewer I can say that 99.99% of all tech made isn’t perfect on day 1, thankfully though it’s perfected via software updates over time.
@@GadgetJohn I think that's a valid comment for software (although DJI gave out pre-release versions with D-Cinelike and then removed it from the release version, which in a way is false advertising). But for hardware there's no excuse as that's all pre-planned. I firmly believe DJI work to maximise every single tiny bit of profit from their loyal customers at the expense of device integrity. You can pretty much bet that any accessories you buy now won't be compatible with the next version of the Pocket. Time will tell ;)
No face tracking in 4k 60 fps. Face tracking is useless too. I'm selling mine.
Face tracking is great for me, what issues are you having? I don't use 4K 60 for talking to camera, I wouldn't ever want to slow myself down when talking.
do you hear what you are saying - you are excited because you turned a 'POCKET' camera into a usable device that you need a large bag to carry around and ten minutes to set up before you can start shooting - the truth is there are countless portable cameras out there that take better video .. I do not understand your logic
Hi, Just in case the cameras has added 10 lbs 😉 the accessories are as tiny as the camera, so everything still fits in your pocket, even the tripod, phone holder and battery bank.
I bought the Pocket the day it came out - I also have had that after market adapter for a few weeks now - I have about 30 different action cameras and about twenty different MFT cameras ( will buy the new Olympus as soon as it arrives this month) - The Pocket is so disappointing that I only used it for a few days and it now rests on my heap of unused gadgets which gave me a trill for about ten minutes --I stick to a few that suit me but buy every new one - I watch all your videos .. keep them coming @@GadgetJohn
The more you add, the more un pocketable it looks. In the end, if it starts to cost more than a regular gimball with DLSR or a Gopro with extras, this DJI Osmo Pocket does not look like a good preposition anymore.
I like the part you open your mouth wide...
To much shit makes it bigger defeats the point of it being a pocket camera
Each to their own mate, no need to get all angry about it 👍🏼
