I appreciate the continuation of exploring this product in depth and the evaluation you provide at the end of your videos. Great work and is much appreciated from a potential buyer.
I watch lots of reviews and tech videos and the flow of this video is perfect. Meaning all the right information without even thinking about skipping through the video. Awesome video !!!
For such an in-depth review of a none DSLR camera in low light this video is amazing, and the clips on the google drive are icing on the cake. Thank you great work.
It's better not to ramp up ISO to 6400, because the shadows get all noisy. Also worth considering is to use a slower shutter rate, taking advantage of the gimbal stabilization to get even more light.
Thanks. We are all very pampered and spoiled. Somewhere we hear something about lower technological possibilities and we are already afraid that we will not keep up with the others. Fear, fear, just fear. And then we chase the latest technology, while someone who has a talent for good photography will take it with an old film camera. Your test helped me make a decision, I'm not afraid of low light anymore. I have another fear - so far I have processed videos in Full HD, and when using three video tracks on top of each other, the computer crashed. Now I'm afraid I won't be able to handle 4K on my laptop.
I know this comment was 9 months ago but you should probably shoot 24 or 30fps at night anyway for better low light performance. It looks like the only difference between "Battery Saver" and "High Quality" is that high quality adds noise reduction in camera. Provided you are willing to add noise reduction in post, the battery saver option will probably be no different.
Thanks a lot Billy for upload pics and videos to dropbox, i was already practicing in mimo app and Lightroom with your files 😅 cheers from Medellin, Colombia 🇨🇴
How is it possible that I'm getting worse noise at 200 ISO than you're getting at 3200? Have you applied noise reduction? Also there's a weird ring effects on the image when filming in low light. I'm thinking I might have a dud
Did you shoot any night time video and auto? I'm curious what it would look like at a lower shutter speed. Since there wasn't a lot of motion, I don't feel really locked to the 'double frame rate' rule of thumb.
Good stuff man...I had decided to not upgrade my 1 to a 2 after the iphone 12 pro max dropped recently. This is give me second thoughts on that decision.
I’m not sure why, but I shot some footage in NYC the other night with the exact same settings that you used and the footage came out really grainy. Any thoughts? Battery save mode was turned off. Thank you!!
Thank you for this review. Can you use the High Quality mode when shooting 4K 60fps? On my older OSMO pocket the best quality I get when I shoot in DCinelike, 60 or 50 fps, 1/60 shutter, and ISO 200. Then in post I add some light, and denoise with the Neat Video. It is important to use DCinelike because we want to compress the bright lights.
Brilliant video, at work now on my laptop,when home really looking forward to downloading the files to see on my desktop, I do believe I am going to make my wife happy after watching this, I was going to buy ( or try to buy, as there is no stock anywhere) a Canon R6 , but you have made me decide to get the pocket 2 , and have a play with that, and get the R6 after christmas when hopefully there will be stock, so thats £400 vs £2700 :-)
Hey man, im sorry before, if my comment is irrelevant to this video Im about to buy mavic air 2. I've seen your videos about it, but i have some questions, i hope you have time to answer this, because your answer will affects my decision to buy mavic air 2 (forgive me if my questions kinda long and my grammar is bad) When flying mavic air 2, did we always have to point the antenna to the drone ? Like, it has occusync 2.0 right ? So there should be no problem about the signal, (because occusync is unlike the wifi transmission drone which always depend with the signal between remote and drone, so we should always point it to the drone) right ? Or its not that simple ? Lets just say, if there's 4 scenario : 1.If i flying it while facing backward with my remote against the drone 2.If i flying it outside, but the drone through tall buildings, and i flying the drone around that tall building until the connection between the drone and remote is blocked by those building 3.If i flying my drone when im at forest (full of trees) so the signal between remote and drone will have so much interference by the trees 4.If i am inside my bedroom or my car while my drone is outside, where signal between drone and remote will completely blocked by thick wall or anything With those 4 each screnario, can i still control it until long range (lets just say more than 1 km) can i still do that ? Or if i did that the signal will get interference or lost instantly ? Did you ever did that kind of test ? This my other question is kinda had the same concept. Based on your experiences after flying your mavic air 2 so far, did you ever encounter signal interference ? If yes, is it happen often or rarely ? And at what scenario that makes you get signal interference ? Thanks if you want to take your time to read my comment, id really appreciate that ! 🙏
hello, can you give some advice on why my video had too much noise when i copied your settings and shot at night? can you give a thing or two that I need to check? thanks and great video btw!
I am seriously thinking in buying one as a b or c cam for my wedding videos, mostly for decoration shots. I guess it would be useful because in weddings we are always in a Hurry and gimball calibration takes time.
ive watched 20 reviews on the pocket 2 but only 3 on the zoom of this little camera,i think there should be more reviews on the zoom you will be surpised how many people will use it and im certainly going to be one of them.
Do you shoot and upload a lot of videos in 4k to RUclips? Can you direct me to any good resources for shooting, storage and preparing 4k videos for RUclips? It takes up so much storage. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you, looks really good to be honest. Low light performance was only reason I returned Pocket 1. Any chance you could link original files, I don't trust youtube compression :-)
On your phone it is not all that visible but filming with 1600 iso there is far too much noise when you view it on a larger screen. Even with 100 ISO, you can see noise when filming where there is less light.
Thank you so much for the low light review, I really appreciate it :) Just one question, Pocket 1 was known to introduce a lot of grain and noise in D Cinelike picture profile when shooting in low light. Does Pocket 2 has the same issue? Would appreciate even more if you could make a comparison video of low light Normal picture profile vs the same ISO settings in D Cinelike. Thank you :)
I’m trying to decide between the pocket 2 and a new iPhone (12 mini) for indoor videos of dance. I have the DJI om4 but find it bulky. Any thoughts or recommendations?
@@billykyle its same like Oslo pocket 1 or better or worst to be honest I saw many reviews and about the wireless connectivity they mentioned its worst what is your thought on this ?

Wow! Massive upgrade on the original Pocket 1. Definitely a lot better now.

Thank you🙌🏼
Awesome for making more content then most typical RUclipsrs make one one device. Very insightful.
Thanks Chis! That's the goal.
Now i can catch thieves at night with the Pocket 2. Not that intimidating wielding a toothbrush, though. Maybe I can throw my GoPro at him. Haha!
one thing i love about this channel is "Example Files"
Billy, you are killing it with these Pocket 2 reviews. Thank you! Keep testing this thing, I can't wait for mine!
Thanks so much Johnny! I appreciate your feedback, have fun with it.
It's better not to ramp up ISO to 6400, because the shadows get all noisy. Also worth considering is to use a slower shutter rate, taking advantage of the gimbal stabilization to get even more light.
I have just got Pocket 2 and this was very informative, particularly using the High Quality. You have my like and sub
Thank You So Much For Uploading Regularly:)
Can you enable high quality option on 4k 60fps and 1080p 60fps?
5:17 wow it’s my hometown courthouse! A reminder to pay my parking ticket!😂
great video, everything I am seeing on this camera is impressive.

5:23 building on the right is leaning like the tower of Pisa 😂
Great vid as always
lol
I shoot 60fps and noticed high quality option doesn't work for that frame rate, not sure why that is.
Maybe thats too heavy for the pocket 2 so they use battery saver so it doesnt overheat

It looks like the only difference between "Battery Saver" and "High Quality" is that high quality adds noise reduction in camera.

I was very interested in low light. Great info Billy! Thank you
Don't mention it bob
Excellent video on the low light capability of the Pocket 2. I'm amazed by the night photos!
Night photos are great
Thanks for the video. This might be a better option for me to use on stage with a drum kit. Very helpful.
Very good information Billy. I’ve got mine ordered in the combo from B&H.
That's great, have fun!
How does the footage look in low light at 1080 60p?
Thanks a lot Billy for upload pics and videos to dropbox, i was already practicing in mimo app and Lightroom with your files 😅 cheers from Medellin, Colombia 🇨🇴
Awesome! Glad they help.
Excellent video!!!! !!
!
!!!!!!!!
!
:D
Thank you for a very insightful video! PS! Remember to breathe, Billy! You have my attention so you don't have to talk faster to hold me here. 😉
He’s fast but concise and it works....do your thang chicken wing! 🤣😜
Once again awesome video!!! Love your work and insight!! Thanks
OMG. So refreshing. Ahhhhh. Now let's watch
Thank you so much for sharing! This really help me 🎉
How is it possible that I'm getting worse noise at 200 ISO than you're getting at 3200? Have you applied noise reduction? Also there's a weird ring effects on the image when filming in low light. I'm thinking I might have a dud
Are those video clips in the beginning of your video unedited? Hard to believe you can’t see any grain or noise.
Not too bad! Thank you for showing the samples! Now I feel my pre-order is justified :)
Awesome!!! Have fun.
Fellow Philly Creator. Love it. Thanks for the review.
Love your videos! You remind me of Metallica's Lars Ulrich in how you talk or something. Love that.
another question can it record, pause and re-record again like our smartphones
Excellent video, also thanks for the example files
Thank you brother - been waiting for this one.
You got it!
Thanks for the footages. Looks damn good in low light. Should be good for my fishing channel. Waiting for mine to ship..... still waiting. Damn.
yeah, it does a pretty good job!
@@billykyle love your work!
Thank you!
Did you shoot any night time video and auto? I'm curious what it would look like at a lower shutter speed. Since there wasn't a lot of motion, I don't feel really locked to the 'double frame rate' rule of thumb.
I wondered the same. People always bang on about the double the frame rate rule. To be honest you can only see the difference when paused.
Thanks Billy, great job as usual! You and Ken are definitely underpaid!
Nah, no payment
Good stuff man...I had decided to not upgrade my 1 to a 2 after the iphone 12 pro max dropped recently. This is give me second thoughts on that decision.
The DJI Pocket 2 seems to be a beast of a little camera.
looking forward to see the comparison of low light performance between the pocket 2, insta360 1 inch mod and the sony rx0ii
Great vid as always. Thank You So Much great job.
You're welcome!
Having owned the Osmo action, ready to try the Pocket 2. Hopefully battery 🔋 life is okay
Your studio setup reminds me of unbox therapy.
Very good review ... and special thanks for you shear your video and still footage for us. thanks
Thanks!
Thanks Billy very well done great information my Friend
This is really great.
How is this footage not grainy with the high iso"s? Did you do something in post to get it to look this clear?
I’m not sure why, but I shot some footage in NYC the other night with the exact same settings that you used and the footage came out really grainy. Any thoughts? Battery save mode was turned off. Thank you!!
What do you think compared is best for a begginer Pocket 2 or Sony Zv-1?
Thanks for the sample files, subscribed!
Thank you!!!

Great review, ordrered mine from Best Buy. Should have it tomorrow.
Thank You.
you should wait for black friday
In percentage, what do you think is the improvement in low light of the OP 1 and 2?

do a comparison test vs GoPro Hero 9, iPhone 12, etc.
Don't have the iPhone yet.
Thanks for the review.

Not a bad idea!
How do you think it would work in a garage/shop type setting?
Good job thanks. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Great info thanks Billy.
Thanks Michael

Waiting for mine to ship now. Going to be using along side my Hero 8 Black.
Should u use 30 or 60 fps? Or doesnt it make a diffrence in low light
I'm so glad I did t buy anything on Amazon Prime day, Pocket 2 and Mini 2 announced a week later 😀
Lol
@@billykyle GUN TO HEAD : (Not for water or hardcore use) would you take Gopro 8 or this Pocket 2?
What is more stabil?
Hello. Can I use in the car during driving? Thank you
Thank you, looks really good to be honest. Low light performance was only reason I returned Pocket 1. Any chance you could link original files, I don't trust youtube compression :-)
THANS FOR BEING SPECIFIC, BUT STILL IS IT BETTER THEN THE OLD DJI WHEN SHOOTING IN 4K DOES IT OVERHEAT IF USED FOR TOO LONG
Nice info

Are the artifact's I'm seeing in the night sky due to the camera or youtube's compression?

I’m trying to decide between the pocket 2 and a new iPhone (12 mini) for indoor videos of dance. I have the DJI om4 but find it bulky. Any thoughts or recommendations?
How's the performance when taking video while jogging under low light
does it livestreaming to rtmp server ? Thanks
Far better than the new DJI Action 3.
What's ur take on mavic mini 2??
Great video! your high quality video vs battery saver is not included in the test sample files 😴😜
amazing!
Thanks!
Do y’all know how to take away noise idk how to spell it but my DJI pocket 2 has so much noise it’s crazy
what you are in new haven?!
Whats that 1.8 in setting??
Awesome Thenks
You're welcome!
The footage is no low light as all the subject you shot are very luminous!
I agree, the camera handles street lighting, museum or shop lighting very well.
What is the Max shutter time for stills?
should i getting the iphone 12 pro max then instead?
What are you looking to mostly shoot?
@@rovecrave true thsnks
How about battery life, is it replaceable when comes a time if the battery will become weak or we say life limit of the battery?
Battery is great, and the lifetime will depend on what you use the camera for. It is not replaceable, though, it's built in.
Not bad, it will get better with new firmwares
how the heck did you thread the little string through the small hole in the handle of the unit? The lanyard?
Hahah I haven't tried that yet
Are those low light videos colour graded or what ?????!….
hey mate did you had any trouble with the wireless connectivity
I haven't
@@billykyle its same like Oslo pocket 1 or better or worst to be honest I saw many reviews and about the wireless connectivity they mentioned its worst what is your thought on this ?
can anyone tell how can i take snap of fast moving object in pocket 2???
wow i never put iso up that high for lowlight. 400-800 is sweet spot for me!.. this pocket 2 is great bearly see any noises with iphone screen!
It does a great job at handling noise in the high quality shooting option
