I love using the pocket 2 for everyday video/vlogging or when I am downtown in the city I live. I like using it better than an iPhone or my big camera because people don’t even realize you’re recording on the pocket 2, that is very beneficial if you’re filming in a sketchy area, I rather have the pocket 2 taken than my iPhone. Also it is easier to recording inside places. The cons are the overheating, the low light performances, and the files get broken up to several clips. A lot of people look a specs but you have to really focus on usability which the pocket 2 has a great form factor.
This is a very well put together video. It has told me all I would want to know about buying a DJi pocket 2. I have been contemplating for a few weeks. I found this video and it's a yes for me. Thanks for the clear and precise information.
When connected to a phone does it start charging?? I'm asking cause whenever I connect my Osmo Pocket 1 the phone starts charging and the battery drains to zero in minutes. Did they fix that?? IF not then it's not worth buying!
I’m not into camera kind of person, don’t really know what specs etc to look out for in camera, I just read reviews & watched vids for feedbacks from RUclips to understand more, however I managed to get a P2 & indeed, super lightweight & easy to use, I literally ❤ it a lot and definitely no regrets buying P2 rather than waiting for P3😁😂
That was by far the best review Ive ever watched! GREAT JOB... This camera looks like it will be a great addition for our studio and capturing behind the scenes stuff for social media. Rock and Roll!
Good video covering the main ups and downs of the Pocket 2.. I've been using it for just over a year and even started a new channel with it a few weeks ago. I totally agree with your use suggestions for the camera and I've found it very useful & easy to use. The one thing I wish I could get right is the exposure but I guess I'm ready for an upgrade? I would still recommend the P2 as it definitely gets you going with ease.
Thank you for shady- I went to Harvey Norman today and enquired about this camera and after watching this video, I’m definitely convinced this is the next route for me to go to elevate my content
Thanks for a great review, I’m just looking at getting started with some vlogging and I was looking for a camera with an external mic option, found this one and thought it looked ok. I appreciate your honesty with its pros and cons. Question- where did you have the mic when you were recording in the woods? Does it attach to the camera or is it attached to you?
Hi there, I suggest starting with an iPhone! iPhones have great cameras. I started off with my iPhone 12 Pro I now have the iPhone 14 pro max and it’s awesome with vlogging! It’s the only camera I use for my videos
I just got OP2. Main advantage over anything else is size factor. As nowdays (and maybe always were) people are sceptic whether they will end up on some platform and with that said often put a face when they see someone doing videos, with OP2 they do not even pay attention when I tried it few times outside. Aside that quality of video blows any high end phone. I came long way from high end phones+gimbal, RX100V+gimbal, A6000+Sigma lenses, few action cameras to Pocket 2. For personal use only.
the thing i dislike about mine is that it overheats. ive read reviews saying its common since it is a small device but sometimes in summer its just too hot to hold. another thing i dislike is that it automatically mirrors your video when the camera is flipped facing you. you cant turn it off either. its perfectly normal when taking selfies tho so i dont understand why the mirroring is so different with videos
hey i've been looking to see if theres a way to change this from the pocket itself and haven't been able to find anything. the only way i found to change it is connecting to your phone and then on the mimo app it comes out normal. If you found a way to change it from the pocket please let me know!
@@roblopez6781if you attach it to your phone, you can switch it through the DJI Mimo app. You’ll see the little icon at the bottom of your phone screen, when it connects to the app.
I still use my pocket 2, but it is falling behind my OM 6 gimbal & iPhone 14 pro for video and photos. The main advantage of using the Pocket 2 is the small size, and the ease of using the wireless mic that comes with the creators combo to record decent audio in the field. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
@@ashyouknow7420 ilf you have the iPhone already, it is better as A camera (I use it with Anamorphic lenses on a DJI Gimbal). But the Pocket 2 can do an excellent B Roll or secondary camera.
I bought mine some time ago. Thinking the time-lapse would be 4k. I love how it pans on the gimbal but 1080p hmm just not good enough. I had the attachment on the lens for a wider field of view on the camera while mt biking. It was magnetic. It fell off. hmm, lost and gone. I stopped using it about there. Still got it. Do like your video, well done. I should have used it more. It's just sitting with the ALD 360 camera doing nothing. I guess my sony a1 is a little better. For a cheap vlogging camera it's good.
I was looking at getting an insta360 link for a webcam but im wondering if I should get one of these dji pocket 2 or 3 instead. at least then i can take it out and use it to make videos. Is there a Native webcam mode with pocket 2? i know there is on the new pocket 3, but any advice would be great, thanks!
I still use my Osmo Pocket 1 to my second channel as a vlogging camera and it is still doing great! But I plan to get a V10, just need a little more convincing from vlogger's POV.
Hi. Please can you tell me if it is possible to transfer footage filmed on the DJI pocket 2 onto my iPad in order to create an iMovie and if so how do I do this? Thanks.
Pocket 2 is the best! Pocket 3 has too big and too many designer flaws. Great video! You can always carry a batter pack with a C to C cable that allow you to record for hours. 6 hr plus+
thanks for this review! I've been thinking for months whether I should get OSMO pocket 2 or just wait for the 3 version, which idk when will be released haha..
Vlogger from Philly, PA here...Cool review (I was the 400th Like 🙌) ... so I was considering this for an additional camera to my Osmo Action 3... You mentioned "not the best for low light", but the Club/Band scene you showed really looked good to me, the "dog clip" not so much, without saying... Would you still recommend it? I know DJI came out with a recent update for Action 3 for certain frame rates (I shoot 4K 24fps for low light) but I haven't tried it yet, and my Mini 3 Pro drone in 4K 24fps comes out really good at night.... Your thoughts/opinions about Pocket 2's indoor low light performance??? Thanks in advance ...
I don’t usually respond this quick, but yes!!!! Aside from doing these videos, We cover a lot of the jam scene at Mirth Films. If you head to our website or even on here on our channel, you will find a bunch of jam content. My first show was 7-8-2012
Hi all! Does anyone know if we can connect the RODE II wireless mic system to this without the DO IT ALL HANDLE? Perhaps using a 3.5mm to USB-C adapter? I'd love to just buy the non combo and use my RODE II. Thanks
its still better than most high end phones...I use it to create cinematic videos and its D Cine like profile and mechanical gimbal makes it better than phone cameras... but ya hope DJI will give it a 10 bit
Would you share about sd card should go with dji pocket 2 because I use samsung sd card 256gb but it’s just video under 10 seconds then it said the sd card’s speed is slow 😅, I format the card but it doesn’t work.
Hey! Great video, I'm going for a big travel soon and I'd like to document it and thinking of buying the DJI pocket 2! I have a couple of questions: would you recommend buying an external microphone? And what about a wind shield? tHANKS!
Is the Creator Kit worth it for better sound + longer handle if I'm NOT vlogging? Or would the mic pick up be worse since it's more for near-field voice?
i bought the creator kit and honestly i dont use the mic. its pretty good by itself. ofc it still picks up background noise but its still better compared to my dslr
I mean it is a great vlogging camera for beginners for sure. Just make sure to get the combo. I love it for the versatility in capturing b-roll to add to my videos
I have over 200 videos on my channel using a pocket 2 if you wanna see how it looks from a novice vlogger just shooting his shot. Admittedly I did make some big mistakes misunderstand ISO, Exposure and HDR on my videos in the Himalayas. So many of those videos are super dark on a phone. However they sure looked good on my cacbook screen while i was cutting them together. I guess i wasn't really considering 98% of people just watch youtube on their phone. And most people around the world are on a phone that costs under $250. Most my vids are on auto everything with the wide angle lense. No nd filters.
@schadbendiyan3844 Yes very much so, I got the creator kit but it's pretty unnecessary. If you can get a creator combo in sale I would say go for it. The audio is great. The wireless mic I only used like 2x because I was on a motorcycle and the wind was bad. It certainly came in handy. The mini tripod it comes with is great however I lost mine in kashmir (oops). And I really like the wide angle lense for vlogging. The colors are great. The cons as follows. No swapping the battery. And you have to be really careful not to drop it. It's not water proof. Battery life is about 50-80 mins. The 4 way mic picks up tons of wind so you gotta find a solution for that. I would recommend either way. But the new one will probably be out soon.
@lifeaswedont Thanks for your response Bro. Very helpful. I got myself a pocket 2 in sale. Wanna do some vlogging but don't have a wide angle lens. Do you think it's ne essary for good footage?
I wanna vlog so badly but I'm still not sure on getting the pocket 2 or just settled with an osmo se and my iphone. I'm a beginner and will do lots of solo traveling this year. I'm wary some people might hate having camera right on their face, but I just can't help. Osmo SE would win in terms of budget though 🤔
I don't think you are using the term "read out" correctly. Yes it can do 64MP photos but that is a stitching process of 4 x 16MB photos. The sensor's native readout is from a 16MP sensor, not 64. 64MP is "effective pixels", not the same as the number of pixels packed on to the sensor.
I have the original OSMO Pocket from DJI, and I continue to use it to this day. The battery still holds a good charge and my OSMO Pocket still functions 100 % 👍 *The Pocket 2 is most definitely NOT worth getting today,* as there is no real image quality increase over the pocket 1. Cell phones are beating the pants off of the Pocket 2. There is *a real sucky limitation in regards to shooting time-lapse movies on the Pocket 1 & 2 = Time-lapse movie output is limited to only 1080p ! WTF ? That's not good enough !* 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻The DJI *Action 2 Camera is a major step up in image quality and overall functionality* over the Pocket 2 IMHO, based on its *ability to output time-lapse movies in 2.7K and 4K* along with more built in features and a slightly better lens and sensor from what I can see (??). I should also add I honestly think the original OSMO Pocket, even though it has a slightly smaller image sensor, does a *noticeably better job of image quality capture in low light* than its immediate successor does.
Thanks for sharing this information. I'm traveling overseas next month and wanted something besides my phone to take pictures and videos. I was looking at the DJI Pocket 2 and Osmo. The price for the Pocket 2 are pretty high a niche product. I may just get a dedicated gimbal
@@CharisMaggieTV No. I would go for the DJI Action 2, but make sure you get the latest firmware update with it and you will be able to do everything the OSMO Pocket #1 and 2 cannot, including 2.7K and 4K Time-Lapse Movie output, and shooting in the rain.
I just got one 2 weeks ago, for under $200. I'm so happy with it, and my now my go to camera.
how did u find it cheap
how did you get it so cheap?

I bought the Dji Pocket 2 creator kit. Love it . Has everything you need. I did buy the handle charging unit.
I love using the pocket 2 for everyday video/vlogging or when I am downtown in the city I live. I like using it better than an iPhone or my big camera because people don’t even realize you’re recording on the pocket 2, that is very beneficial if you’re filming in a sketchy area, I rather have the pocket 2 taken than my iPhone.

People think you're playing a video game on your phone, the cam is covert too.
Not like pointing a camera at people.
Has the tracking object feature.
Is there a benefit of buying the pocket 2 on their website over Amazon or vise versa?
Amazon Prime would definitely ship faster. DJI is in China.

Any info of this ?
Or did you found out
I edit the video and then choose 4k quality, and with dji I use Lightcut it's great!
Quality is incredible
Pocket 2 is the best! Pocket 3 has too big and too many designer flaws. Great video! You can always carry a batter pack with a C to C cable that allow you to record for hours. 6 hr plus+
Can you operate the camera with it plugged into an external battery?
yes. I do it all the time!
How does it record sporting events such as soccer, swimming, baseball? What setting. Do you have it on?
I would not get it for sports. I’d recommend Something like a camcorder

I should also add I honestly think the original OSMO Pocket, even though it has a slightly smaller image sensor, does a *noticeably better job of image quality capture in low light* than its immediate successor does.
Thank you for this! ESP comparing it to the action 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing this information. I'm traveling overseas next month and wanted something besides my phone to take pictures and videos. I was looking at the DJI Pocket 2 and Osmo. The price for the Pocket 2 are pretty high a niche product. I may just get a dedicated gimbal
So do you recommend just getting the OSMO pocket instead?
@@CharisMaggieTV No. I would go for the DJI Action 2, but make sure you get the latest firmware update with it and you will be able to do everything the OSMO Pocket #1 and 2 cannot, including 2.7K and 4K Time-Lapse Movie output, and shooting in the rain.
@@markjob6354 wow thanks so much for your insights
