Best review yet. The sample videos are just so perfect to show of the upgraded video quality. I really like the fact that you used the automatic mode in the normal color profile. Every other tech Youttuber did their whole color grading stick, which drives me insane. I want to see how this thing performs on its own. ND filters are great, but i need something simple that'll work right the second i need it. I never got an Osmo Pocket 1 because the automatic mode was simply unusable. Choppy videos, the colors were off, whites were blown out... it seems like they really fixed off of those issues. I'm super stocked to see more sample shots on this from your channel!
Isn’t that just typical of DJI. they come out with a ground breaking piece of kit. And just leave it there for two years. As soon as the competition have spent all their money on Rand D and expensive launches.. D.J.I. come along and put them back into the Stone Age... don’t you just love ‘em 😂
Thank you so much for making files available. Really useful for me to evaluate not only the quality of the files but how they handle in my NLE for grading and playback. Also I notice two sets of stereo audio channels in the first town clip. I am going to explore these files further. Thank you so much. Ray.
Giving the option to view the footage and photos without youtube´s compression is the best thing in this review. Now I know how CRISP the image really is.
The Pocket 2 looks really good. Your review was awesome. You packed tons of great information into it. Keep up the good work. As an added bonus for me personally, I got to see some nice images of the city where i went to college 30 years ago (Drexel U. in West Philadelphia). I don't get back there very often. I live in Kansas now.
Have been waiting for this release for a long while now! The original has been epic for travelling around the world and vlogging. Pretty stoked with certain parts of this version, HOWEVER, even as epic as the do it all handle is, I can't help but think it should;d've been part of the overall design - as some competitors have been doing for a while now
Good detailed review bruh👍🏼.... Ima stick with my Pocket 1 cuz of the ton of accessories i already bought for it but im pumped for an "ACTION 2" 🤣...I would pre-order that in a heartbeat! DJI is WINNING!!

@@ivanwest3227 now if they made this actually waterproof, I'd be willing to budge but yup I'm right up there with you. Funny part is, I bought all this and end up using mines in pure stock form and the controller most times🤦
Question: I notice than when looking at your review and others of the Pocket 2, yours video quality looks so much more crisp, with other reviewers the video quality when walking fast or moving the camera looks very pixelated. Have you edited the footage or is there something that is done different to obtain a better image quality? Thank you for your time!
Stupendous review of the DJI Pocket 2! I'm considering getting this impressive device. Man, it seems as though DJI found a plethora of alien technology somewhere out in space and putting it in their products. I like the DJI Pocket 2. Happy New Year to you by the way.
Thank you Billy. I found you yesterday while I was trying to set up my new Pocket 2 and I’m glad I did since the company video is not very useful. I subscribed and rang the bell so I know when you upload new videos. These videos are so helpful for me since this is my first Vlogging equipment. I’ve been recording my RUclips videos using the Canon EOS 90D but it’s a bit much and heavy to take with me so this Pocket 2 is perfect. I look forward to more videos and thanks again! 🧕🏻
Breathe next time. Great job and thanks for showing the auxiliary port on the receiver. No one and I mean no one has mentioned the auxiliary port on the receiver. I wish I would have found your video first because I would have ordered it through your link. I did subscribe. Thanks again for shooting such a valuable piece of content for people purchasing this type of equipment.
Thanks for the video files. I was kind of unimpressed with all the review footage (from multiple channels) I'd seen so far but I figured it was the RUclips compression. It was, and the actual files look great.
You did a great job on this. Definitely hit on a lot of the complaints I had with the first one...that I loved. I was hoping to hear about the changes on the new controller wheel. Otherwise, stoked to hear everything you said.
wondering what you do in your spare time... and how many hours you spend on your research and video editing? And where are your blooper reals? Love how focused you get and how concise your videos are... you are one of my fave channels... thanks..
First reviewer to show the aux mic receiver option - this makes it more interesting to me 10:46. Now I wonder if they'll let you stack lenses / filters i.e. Anamorphoc / ND - that would be useful.
I'm still on the fence over whether to get the P1 or P2 (second hand). While the P2 does have a bigger FOV, there's a significant amount of parallax in the image (and stretching at the edges too. See the cars at the intersection piece). For my use case, which is shooting family holidays and scenery or weekend breaks, I cant help but feel the P1 does 95% of that perfectly well, and at half the cost. Ahh choices choices, lol
I was waiting on @geraldundone to make a video on this...this is a quality review man. Not to mention u didnt waste anytime telling us to like and subscribe which i also appreciate. We all know how youtube works lol Thank you ☕
Thanks for this review Billy. I wanted a good camera, but the noise on full res photos is disappointing so I'm glad you covered that. Ended up getting a Canon M50 instead. I know, very different animal. I still want a pocket 2 for vlogging and light action stuff but that'll come down the road.
Thanks for the great review Does new joystick work with original Pocket ? Same query re new do it all base? Finally do ND filters for original Pocket fit on Pocket 2?
@billykyle That was the best overview of the Pocket 2 that I have seen to date. It was throughly detailed and still interesting. As an owner of the original Osmo Pocket you helped me decide whether or not to upgrade this time around. Thanks!
We'll ask the "elephant in the room question..." Will our existing packs of costly ND filters for the OP1 fit the Pocket 2? Asking because we bought the new version as soon as DJI opened the store today. Billy? Anyone?
Great review, thank you so much, would love to see more test footage in low light and how hyper/time/motion laps modes work, if you decide to make such videos, many people would appreciate it, thank you once again :)
Great video and review..I will probably get one..I'm still happy with my ozmo pocket 1, Action and my latest purchase is the dji mini 2 for my first drone..Thanks ...Take Care.
Best review mate, just watched iPhonedo and Kaiw but you have far more details, I still like to see a pocket with all accessories fixed, I never use pocket without joystick for example. All this small accessories get lost far to often.
Full watch Billy. Great video. You didn't miss a thing and it left me not needing to know anything more about this device Other then, HOW FAST CAN I GET ONE!!!!!...👍👍👍. Loved it.. Live Love and laughter. 💙💙 Mikey
Great review Billy I would like to know how is the built on the DJI Pocket 2 do you have be really careful to not break it or is it pretty rugged since I never owned one and I also like to know how well it does in low light.
Excellent review. Thanks in particular for the focus test, which is something that some reviewers have completely passed over. (And now I'm waiting for someone to post a review titled "DJI Pocket 2 - the Fimi Palm killer!"}
I hope its gonna be worth of my money, its my first time buying a videocamera (i need one for dancer videoclips). I heard from a lot of dancers that the osmo pocket is a great one to have. So this one might even be greater :)
How could you use an external stereo microphone? Can you plug it into the 3.5mm jack on the do it all handle or do you need the wireless mic transmitter and plug it in there? Thanks.
The matrix stereo sound is incredible! i loved the first pocket and the 2 improved everything what i didn't like at the first ( mostly field of view and lack of hdr)
Seems like the nd filter will be compatible from the osmo pocket to the pocket 2, when you look at the new dji nd filter for the pocket 2 you can see in the product overview that its compatible for both the osmo pocket and the pocket 2... amazing news!!!
You have to buy the 499 for the wide angle lens (or purchase it separately on the dji store), though the built in lens is still much wider than the original pocket 1
Great video Billy. 2 questions 1. Does the zoom work like the Air 2 in video e.g. something other than a crop, some trickery with the quad bayer? 2. Do the filters for the original fit on the new pocket?

Also, does this new joystick attachment work on the Pocket 1 as well. And finally, what about existing P1 accessories such as lens filters and the extension arm. Do the existing filters still fit? Does the P2 still work with the DJI extension arm? Cheers Ian
I like everything about the update except the wider angle of view because I think it looks unnatural - not as much as action cams but still. Could have talked more about the accessories for example the joystick. Next video?
Wow, great review! Maybe I missed it, but do they say anything about weather resistance? That’s one of the big reasons I use a GoPro here in rainy Vietnam.
Actually this is not an action camera. So its not water resistant right of the box. However there is a waterproof casing available with DJI for Pocket series, which can serve your purpose.
With Osmo Pocket, I also had to worry whether I was covering the mic/audio thing. Glad that Pocket 2 has fixed that issue!
El
New generation Osmo Pocket this time with a BIGGER sensor? WIDER FOV?! Wider ISO range?! Yes to all!
Only my Pocket is saying no.
Shut up. You had me at "BIGGER SENSOR". *swoon*
Isn't it that's how you upgrade?? Bigger and wider and better!
iam waiting for the action..hope the sensor is bigger //wider lens and up the bitrate in 4k and maybe 90+fps in 4k
Nuff said! I’m getting the Osmo Pocket 2!

Scooped this up on launch day and am loving it so far
I would like to see some low light shots first.
+1. This seems to be one area all reviewers are neglecting so far...
Yeah I know. It has a 60% bigger sensor and 33% faster aperture, and yet NOBODY shows the compared difference. 🤷
@@EdHecht and it is so important. I think the only person who will do it is the one who is not getting paid by DJI
He released a video with low light video and photos.
The best Pocket 2 review i've seen till now! Well done mate!

I use my Mavic Mini as an osmo pocket, even though it does not have sound I just ad it in in post.
How?
@@rcinematicFold up the arms and use it as a regular camera, just don't forget to take off the propellers.

It looks they made some improvements to the Pocket 2 that really make it a better camera than version one. Great review, and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great review. I also would like to see some light tests in any future videos. Biggest addition for me is the wireless mic system! Yay!
That wireless mic will act better as a transmitter than a mic. The built in mic is just so so
You did a great job on this. Definitely hit on a lot of the complaints I had with the first one...that I loved. I was hoping to hear about the changes on the new controller wheel. Otherwise, stoked to hear everything you said.

Can you use Osmo Pocket ND filters on Pocket 2?

Does new joystick work with original Pocket ?
Same query re new do it all base?
Finally do ND filters for original Pocket fit on Pocket 2?

The one thing that I struggle with (I do have a few work-arounds) is low light. How is Pocket 2 in comparison to OP?
weak sensor upgrade, see how it rocking on the desk at 7:07, one tip over and it is done
I like the flat look on osmo one rather than the wide angel view
Great Video!👌Thank you
Thank you for review and raw sample images. regards!
You got it 👍
if you already had pocket 1, there is no need to upgrade to pocket 2. but pocket 2 is a great deal for new buyer of pocket series
14:26 - You accidentally said 19mm when the wide angle adapter is 15mm equivalent ;)
Do you know the bitrate on battery save mode?

Hey Billy good video. Curious, did you try the Extension Rod from the original Osmo Pocket with the Pocket 2? If so does it work?
it miss the zoom and the ability to use de Bluetooth and Low light shots

2. Do the filters for the original fit on the new pocket?

Wow, great review! Maybe I missed it, but do they say anything about weather resistance? That’s one of the big reasons I use a GoPro here in rainy Vietnam.
Actually this is not an action camera. So its not water resistant right of the box. However there is a waterproof casing available with DJI for Pocket series, which can serve your purpose.
