Gimbal modes - I think perhaps you skimmed over this key subject a bit - here's my standard explanation which might help people who are puzzled - In FPV mode (which should have been called 'Unlocked' mode), the gimbal head will follow the direction of the camera handle without restriction - though the movement will be smoothed. It means that the Pocket will behave like any other camera, apart from the smoothed movement. In Follow mode - which should have been called 'Horizon Lock' mode - the gimbal head will always stay horizontal. This means that you don't have to worry about keeping the horizon straight. The camera will look after itself in that respect, and that's handy because with the tiny screen, it's hard to tell if the horizon is exactly straight or not. Note that "Follow Mode" has nothing at all to do with tracking a face or other subject. This mode is perhaps the most often used. In Tilt Lock mode, which should have been called 'Tilt and Horizon Lock' mode (except that's too long) the camera behaves the same as in Follow mode (horizon always straight) but in addition, the gimbal will point ahead in one direction. If you move the handle, you won't be able to point the camera up to the sky or down to your feet. You can set it to straight ahead using the 'recenter' option, and you can adjust it down to your feet or up to the sky using the little slider on the right side of the screen. It will then stay pointing at the sky or your feet (or anywhere between) regardless of handle movement. In all these modes, it's always possible to pan the camera from side to side. If you want to lock that axis as well as the axes locked by Tilt Lock, you'll have to use the controller wheel accessory and hold down the right hand button on the controller. That makes the camera point in a constant direction, regardless of how you move the handle, thus preventing panning. Hope that helps.
Well, to me it seems that FPV mode should have been called FOLLOW, since the camera follows all the 3 axis handle movements, but smoother. FOLLOW should have been named ROLL LOCK, as the camera will try to get vertical lines as vertical as possible. Tilting and panning will still follow the handle movements. And TILT LOCK should be TILT & ROLL LOCK, as only panning will follow the handle movements.
@@dacbuc I think the names used are standard descriptions for gimbal modes. But indeed some are a bit confusing. Almost the most popular video I ever made was an explanation of gimbal modes, several years ago!
I've watched a TON of Osmo Pocket videos just before & after my purchase recently and this might be the BEST all-around info completed into one video I've seen so far! I knew much of this already, but only because I watched like 20 other videos... this one video has some GREAT info! Thanks for making it :)
I'm watching this clip for the third time! First time I was watching it just to be familiar with freshly purchased Osmo Packet. The second time I was watching this movie to get some tips for my short trip to Pocono Mountains. Now I'm watching it for the third time because I have big commercial photo shooting tomorrow, and I also need to record quick video just to send it to the client as an info clip. Now I need your tips to set the camera once and just start recording tomorrow without even a chance to check it afterwards. And this time your tips are even more helpful! Thank you!!!
Thank you for such an awesome compliment, Harry! That means a lot to me that you came back to watch this video! Hope your shoots have all went well! Thanks again for coming back and watching!
Hey I’m a complete beginner & just suddenly developed an interest photography & filming. I’ve bought an osmo pocket & this video has helped me quite a lot :)
Thank you!! Teaching is difficult, and presenting topics in a way that other people can understand is even more difficult for me. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
This is by far the best video I have watched on this subject. I just got my osmo pocket yesterday. I am going to make some changes in my settings. Thank you so much for this great piece
Great video, thanks, I've just watched your tips video on the Pocket 2 having just purchased one and that was great also, but you were right to point people over to this earlier video as the tips in here are also very valid and useful. Cheers
Great job in sharing. It's concise and well explained at a good pace. I'm turn off by reviews that are verbose and flamboyant and this is not one of them. Thank you. I'm subscribed and thumbs up for you.
OMG thank u for that bonus tip. Ive been looking hi n lows for 2 days looking for an mp3 player bcos I never wouldve imagined shooting wt this will not interrupt the music im listening to..and it didnt cross my mind to research abt it either thinking no one would bother to cover tht issue but here u r! Yay
I just bought myself an Osmo Pocket, thank you for making this video. Very insightful and well done without any of the tech reviewer stereotypes that are so pervasive now.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me.
Thanks for your video! The best I’ve seen so far! I love your tips and giving me heads up on the best way to film. I’ll be traveling to Paris very soon and These were some great tips!! I just purchased my osmo pocket. I also have the osmo mobile as well!!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video, jealous of your Paris trip! Sounds like a good trip to film with the Osmo Pocket. I have the Osmo Mobile as well, haven't used it since I bought my pocket. Lol.
I like the DJI Osmo Pocket, but I don't love it. I bought it as an accessory on a recent photo trip to Paris. It was great for carrying on the Métro and around the city. Great footage for not a bad price! Thanks for this informative video. Lots of good information that I'll reflect on in my photography RUclips Channel. Thx! 👍
The Osmo Pocket is a great supplemental camera for when you don’t want to break out your big camera, but still want to get a shot. It’s an amazing travel camera! Thanks for watching!
@@keith-knittel Well, "comparison videos" are working great in general. And I would love to see more videos from talented filmmakers about "how to make mobile phone footage more cinematic"
This was an awesome video!!! Never would of thought my phone vibrating during recording a vid! I'm new with the osmo pocket and would love some tips on making cinematic videos..I've got an upcoming family birthday reunion thing going on and looking to test my osmo for the first time!! I was highly in photography back in the day but not video so it'll be a challenge for me 👌🏽 would love to see more detailed tips on video making!
Would love to make more Osmo pocket videos like that! Definitely practice, practice, practice and try to tell a great story with your footage! Thank you for the video ideas to make on the future and watching!
Great tutorial! These are actually recommendations that could professionalize my Osmo pocket footage. Very grateful for that. Thanks man. Greetings from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece.
@@keith-knittel - I live in the mountains and it can be sunny any season. In winter it can be worse, even though the sun is lower, it can reflect off of the snow on bluebird days. I really hope DJI improves the Timelapse option. I want raw vs jpg for the images in the timelapse folder. I voted on that option on the forums.
Nice explanation~! I also started to use the Osmo Pocket and in process of learning, but this video gives cool explanations based on personal experience. . I recently used OSMO to capture 4K video. It was awsome. Thank you~ I will try to use the tips that you showed to me for my next video.
Thanks for watching and glad you found the video helpful! Shooting 4K with the Osmo Pocket is awesome, but make sure you have a pretty strong computer to edit it with!
It depends on what your looking to vlog - but dji has some deals going on their site right now too for their winter sale if you’re looking to buy one. I love mine, but the lens is a little tight for vlogging, you have to hold your arm all the way straight out. Not a huge deal but something to be aware of. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You my friend have opened up a whole new world for me using this OP, what a brilliant informative and straight to the point video, thank you! New Sub ;)

No problem - hope you liked them! They're some things that kept coming up over and over while I was using the Osmo Pocket.
Filter selection depends greatly on frame rate. If you do a lot of 4k60 an ND8 is good. At 24 that's an ND 16, maybe 32.
Very true! It’s pretty dark this time of year in Ohio so I’ve been using the lower ND filters. ND32 for 24 FPS in the summertime!
