Sorry some of the shots are OUT OF FOCUS! I was using Single audiofocus instead of Continuous.... my bad. That's why you'll see it slightly out of focus or fully out of focus at times. The focus does work super well on this camera but you have to make sure continuous is left on while you're moving around.
@Today's Adventure You can read the manuals and specs on the DJI site, and the Do-It-All handle has a TRS/TRRS input. You can plug in and use a dual mic setup like the Saramonic Blink which has 2 mics and one receiver. Like most cameras, I don't think the small Pocket was intended for simultanous dual mics on its own. My Sony cameras don't even do that.
Probably the most comprehensive video so far on the pocket 2. I’m so proud of myself for staying strong and not getting pocket 1. Definitely getting pocket 2.
I had the Pocket 1 and decided I wasn't using it, so sold it. Then when the 2 came out, some of the new features sounded great. After watching plenty of YT videos, I decided that it was worth re-investing in the new one. I've now had it just a few days and I'm very pleased. And of course, Jeven's video helped make me feel better about spending money on this new one. Thanks.
Great! Your video comparison of Pocket 1 and Pocket 2 on a dim light setting is exactly what I’m looking for! As expected, DJI made a pretty good job of improving the image and video quality of its Pocket 2.
Ohhh...well done Jeven....one of the best reviews I seen so far - not just about the OP2 - but the review methodology used . This is what all the reviews should include i.e what it can do , for sure , but more importantly ...WHAT IT CAN NOT DO ...!!!. Simple things like " motion - timelapse can not be filmed at 4K "" ..!!! Thank you very much because that is exactly one of the most important reasons I wanted the OP2 for motion timelapses BUT at 4K..!!! after all it says it’s a 4K camera ..!!!and you made it perfectly clear that it can only do motion timelapses at 1080.....!!! note for DJI …” Get your act together “. So one big thanks for that ...!!.. I will NOT be buying the OP2 since sound its irrelevant for my applications .- I will like to know if the speed of the joystick is programmable?? You should consider - due to your experience - to try to find out what settings the camera looks best for cinematics i.e colour , iso, ect ....BTW ...how is the autofocus ??? you did not mentioned .?? In any case ...Well done ..!!! Chheeheeerrrsss...
The best motion timelapse are done by recording video and speeding it up. You can then choose to film in 4K. Also, you can use the active track feature to create really amazing motion timelapses. Remember you can't use the active track feature in 4K at 60fps but it works great at 50fps and below.
@@thuryf Thank you ..!!! I have tried t 50 fps and t works ...so thanksfor that mate ...!!! chheeerrrsss..!!!again ...back to my point ..its so difficult to find this sort of information...uuufffff...thanks again ...!!!...However I think there is abit of contradiction in your statement ...since MOTION TIMELAPSE ..has WAYPOINTS ..and if we film normal 4K video you can not have WAYPOINTS ...right ?? ...the objective is to have ...even in 4K normal video , even at 50 FPS , MOTION WAY POINTS ...and that affraid is a nono ...thanks all the same .
*Alas ! No higher resolution movie output other than regular HD for Time-Lapse and Motion-Lapse video !!! That's a deal breaker for me !!! You get higher resolution Motion-Lapse and Time-Lapse if you are willing to take the stills the camera creates to produce the end result movie, and take those images into an NLE and build them into higher resolution movie sequences, such as 4K, 8K and even 12K (Which is what I've been doing with the OSMO Pocket 1), but that's extremely time consuming, and frankly, it's allot of extra work in post. The GoPro will allow time lapse in 4K movie output straight from the camera.*
@@adamkaczorowski6799 you place it on as before, then push a little harder and it clicks into place. I believe the wide angle lens only comes with the creator bundle.
@@jockneyranger Yeah I tried it the way you described but the "click" just doesn't happen... And I pushed it quite hard. Pushing it harder would just break the glass on the front. I'm just wondering why I don't have this option in my camera (I got creator's combo)
Thanks for FINALLY clearing up the 1080p for the time lapses- I will share this video just for that! I think I’ll stay with my original pocket as I only used it for those time lapses.
As a "Professional" video producer - I really wish DJI would make a Pro version of this - Larger body, and slightly heavier to accommodate better sensor and heat dispersion. Also, with lens technology we could see mini prime lenses that could be swapped out.
Absolutely not worthy!!....there is no such upgrade in the pocket 2 in comparison with the pocket 1, for the amount extra it takes to buy. Doing a great job,love from India❤️🇮🇳
Two questions: can you use a USB power bank to extend the recording time/battery life while recording (think recording long events), and is it possible to plug into a computer and use as a webcam for live-streaming?
@@MrLojak Overheating is probably the biggest downside of this lil camera, is there a way to somehow improve the cooling rather than using battery saver mode or some other compromised setting?
I was interested in getting the Pocket 2 but I ended up buying a Hero 9 when it came out, as I needed a vlogging solution. Pocket 2 looks great, the only negative is the battery life / no replaceable batteries. For reference, I have 4 batteries for the Hero 9, which I’ll use 2-3 on an outing
I'm upgrading to the Pocket 2 as I really appreciate the zoom, despite it being digital. Additionally the better low light performance is a draw. I went to a couple of gigs, when life was normal, and the pocket was easy to use but needed a lot of post. This should allow me to use footage more or less raw.
I think it’s a good upgrade from the DJI Osmo Pocket One. I feel like they did listen to some of our wishes and complaints. They did drop the ball with the battery life. A minimum of 8 hour record time is ideal for a day of vlogging... or at least close to it. I say yes it’s worth the upgrade especially since all the accessories are still compatible from the previous versions with exception of the waterproof housing.
Thank you. A really comprehensive Q&A. Greatly appreciate the effort, not just in answering the questions but the visuals as well. I'm stalling on purchase, waiting to see what Insta 360 are about to launch... 🤨🤩... I'm a fan of both brands, owning cameras, drones, gimbals etc. Thank you again.
Yes better to purchase dji pocket 2 and upgrade for those who have the pocket 1 , just bought and tested today. Awesome. Thanks Jeven Dovey for the sharing.
Hey Jeven for a youtube beginner what it will best to buy a DJI Pocket 2 or a Sony ZV-1 or to stick to my iPhone 11 Pro? Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
Aw man, great choices. Matters what you value most: zv1 best video quality and most powerful camera for photos and pics; iPhone best convenience, minimalistic lifestyle; pocket 2 if you want in between. Good vid quality and good convenience since it’s so small
Yes. I have the Osmo pocket 1 (and love it) and I upgraded to the pocket 2 and it's even sweeter. Now I use the 1 as a backup for the 2 and for night footage... it's the two all the way. Great video by the way. Very informative.
I'm super excited for the Pocket 2! I've been contemplating buying the Osmo Pocket for the last two months (been doing all my filming on my old Samsung Galaxy 6 😅) but was debating it due to the idea of also needing to buy the Rode Wireless GO. Now this solves all my concerns! 😍
Great to get if you haven't the original Pocket. I do and having added the a wide angle lens, Rode Wireless Go and wifi module along the way the asking price for the Pocket 2 is not for me. I'll spend that money on travel somewhere where I can get some fine video with my Osmo Pocket. :)
One extra question that has not been asked... Can you charge with a power bank while filming ? It would solve the non removable battery issue ! Thanks.
Brilliant video... thank you. I have just ordered the 2 Combo to upgrade from the Pocket 1 and you have answered all the questions the other reviews seemed to miss.
the pocket 2 seems to have 30% better lowlight performance. If you adjust the pocket 1's exposure, you can see the real difference in performance. I'm not sure if it's a big enough upgrade to lowlight for me to upgrade from my pocket 1. Probably will upgrade. Because I do love lowlight filming and the pocket 1. 62% sure I'm going to upgrade. - WW (Wandering Wolf)
That shot of you with the Pocket 2 on Active Tracking, panning side to side as you were walking left and right, was AWESOME! It looked like someone was behind the camera, moving it with you! That alone is what is getting me to buy the Pocket 2 - a darned camera operator comes with the package!
@@ThaiBuddhaful Yes, I always shoot 24p for potential theatrical release. It's not as smooth as 30p, but I actually like the lower frame rate look more. You pointed out a VERY important thing though. Thanks for the heads up!
You're right about the filters and magnets. When shooting outisde, it's horrible. I lost a bunch of those nd-filters, not because I was doing some crazy stuff, just because they don't really stick to the cam very well.
I love this camera. Have Sony Alpha Series cameras nice lenses I love as well. But I found myself going to this one easier and they say the best camera you have is the one you use.
Jeven, Thanks, as always, for the great video. With the CREATOR COMBO can you WIRELESSLY connect to Pocket 2 [for view, control, active track etc] while SIMULTANEOUSLY using the WiFi Wireless Mic? Or does only one work at a time? And is the Wireless Mic Bluetooth or WiFi? I have heard conflicting info in other videos. And DJI website does not say. BTW, the range comparison compared to the Rode Wireless Go was SHOCKING and FANTASTIC to know. I am buying the Pocket 2 JUST for this simple Wireless solutions without extra cages, adapters, set-up etc. Thanks for your words of wisdom.. Having just bought a Go Pro Hero 9, I was going to skip this, but the Wireless Mic is the gamer changer that made it an INSTANT BUY for me… but I am HOPING it will still work when your are using the iPhone WIRELESSLY to control and monitor pocket. Let me know what your tests have shown. Thanks again. - Eric ZORK Alan [Professional Poet & Bed Vlogger]
Just got my Pocket 2 yesterday and sold my Pocket 1 on eBay today for $199 so pretty good trade in overall. Got the creator combo and so far thrilled with the upgrade!!!! Waiting for waterproof case to come back in stock.
Great review. So informative. I have the Pocket 1. I also got the Pocket 2 for the same reasons you did. I like that I can wirelessly connect to my phone and control the gimbal with my phone. There are still many limitations. I really wish they would improve the battery life and/or enable swappable battery. An hour and forty minutes to two hours is kinda of lame. I liked and subscribed. Keep them coming please. Thank you.
Thanks JD, a couple of deal breakers there for me, was all set to order the combo, however, no tracking in higher 4K 30fps is one, and both lapse modes only in 1080p (no 4K ) is the other... Thanks excellent video on point, saved me money...
You can charge while recording. I shot a 2 hour 4k video and was at 90% battery after. I used the Smatree power handle. They advise against charging and shooting as its bad for the battery, but they say once its charged to 100, you can do it, as it just draws from the power source then.... Though my battery still drained slowly, which makes things confusing.. DJI being unclear, as usual. Anyway, I always need long battery life, so I will always be plugged in anyway, so battery damage isn't a huge concern to me. By the time finite battery devices are unusable, I've usually long since upgraded. I use the hell out of my gear.
This was Brilliant -- didn't think I was going to get my questions answered (as this is a 2 year old video) yet - Damn, you covered it all to make my decision easy. Thanks for making this video.
I'm on the fence if I will updgrade. The cost is too much to buy a new one. If you are a vlogger / creator, it will be an easier decision. But as a casual user, I don't think it's worth the cost.
Not sure if there is already a comment regarding the magnetic wide angle lens but you can actually push the wide angles lens until you here the pop sound so it is secured in its place.
Howdy Jeven, great video as usual👍🏼😊 Youve provided all the answers to my buddies when they ask me why the hell did I have to get the new Pocket 2 when Im still so crazily in love with my Pocket 1👍🏼🤪
One more question: If I already own the iPhone 12 Pro and DJI OM4, is the Pocket 2 any better video and photo quality, especially since the Pocket 2 is limited in what it can do in 4k and higher frame rates? And I understand the Pocket is much more mobile set-up, at least until you start adding accessories to it, such as your smart phone. And sorry in advance for a somewhat loaded question, I'm just not convinced that the Pocket 2 is a better camera than my iPhone 12 pro.
Recently purchased the OM4 for my phone (Galaxy S9) and am very impressed! Since my phone tends to drop frames when filming in 4K @ 60fps, I was considering upgrading my phone. Other than this one hiccup, my phone works fine and the image quality is excellent. So, how about this Pocket 2? Your video has certainly helped to push me along that road! Kudos! 😎
I’m curious. When you were doing the side-by-side audio test the video from the pocket 2 looked washed out compared to the original. Was there some difference in video settings?
Can I wirelessly live stream using the Pocket 2 to Facebook/Instragram natively through Mimo app? Imagine the setup is this way: 1. Pocket 2 camera is mounted on its 'do it all handle' on the small tripod in front of me. Wirelessly connected to my phone. 2. The phone is with me to interact/read/reply comment to my audience while I am live streaming wirelessly and also to control the camera direction (tracking etc.) Thanks
Great video. i couldnt fit my hand in the DJI supplied lanyard, so I used one i bought off amazon, Hand Wrist Strap Lanyard, Hukado 6 Pack 9.5 inch. Some people have said 256G micro SD card is max for Pocket 2, but I'm using a 512 with no problem. The case magnets are weak. I lost my iphone adaptor after 1 day. The wind screen for the remote mic doesnt have a solid feel to it when inserted.
Hi Jeven, living on a pension, I can only justify one large expenditure a year (which I use near Christmas). This year I can either afford to upgrade my Lumix LX10/15 compact to a Sony ZV-1 or upgrade my Osmo Pocket to a Pocket 2. So do you think I should made do with my Osmo Pocket for now. I’ve found its biggest problem is the shutter button that starts needing multiple presses after a lot of use (I’m a daily vlogger).
Hello sir. In my opinion, the upgrade from Lumix LX10 to ZV-1 would not be so big, as the Pocket 1 to Pocket 2. You will get only a good autofocus and mic jack on ZV1 compared to LX10. But on the pocket 2 you will have more features avaialble such as wireliss mic, wider lens, bigger sensor and etc. Also, the upgrade of Pockets are cheaper than the 1inch-sensor compact cameras. But I would recommend to get the combo option for Pocket 2 straight away. Thanks and have a good one!
I'd be tempted to go for the ZV-1. It has the potential to be a fantastic blogger camera. My question would have to be, is your vlogging on-the-go or stationary. If it's studio based then the ZV-1 is the best option. If you're a walkabout blogger, the wider FOV, better light handling, wireless mic and AT3 are definitely worth the upgrade.
I would go with the Pocket 2 as it has drastically improved the audio quality and as a vlogger sound is as important as the video. It's also more portable which is important if you're always on the move
Hey Jeven, at 5:40 you say there is no "clip-on" for the wide angle lens, but on another review, I've seen that, in fact, the wide angle lens you are using CAN be clipped on the Dji pocket 2. You just need to push on it to clip it on
Thank you for the video! But Dang! I was all set and excited to get this, then realized -- in typical none-of-their-business DJI fashion -- you gotta hook in to DJI servers to even get started. That is a show stopper for some of us. Paranoid? Yeah, maybe. Thanks just the same.
Before it becomes a paperweight because of a non-replaceable battery, it appears to be a very good upgraded product... Love the detachable mic, but is that also battery powered and if so, will it hold charge longer than the gimbal unit itself?
As I recall it, DJI will replace the battery quite cheaply if it dies before the device is obsolete anyway. So it shouldn't need to become a paperweight.
@@Ozpeter ~ You missed the point. If your out using it and you have exceeded the batteries capability you need to recharge it rather than slapping another battery into it to carry on...
@@countingcoup just as portable or convenient as carrying extra batteries... And if you have a decent power brick (most modern options are compact also) then you’ll more than likely getter more use too. So yeh, it’s pretty obvious.
Although the signficant improvements, Osmo pocket 2 can't get away from the "toy universe" with what it may mean... I 'm thinking of getting the new RS2 and play with a sony A7 series camera!
Thanks for that Q and A. Great info. Im planning to buy it and upgrading from the version 1. Soon as its available. looks like most places are sold out.
About ways appreciated your reviews and info. I was going to get the original pocket but I'm now glad I didn't. I just went through your link and purchased the Creator combo. I'm looking forward to using it in my new realtor business and my RUclips videos. Thanks for all your informative content.
Sorry some of the shots are OUT OF FOCUS! I was using Single audiofocus instead of Continuous.... my bad. That's why you'll see it slightly out of focus or fully out of focus at times. The focus does work super well on this camera but you have to make sure continuous is left on while you're moving around.
What is audiofocus? Hahah you mean autofocus I guess?
Magnet Wide Angle Lens Can Be Clipped Into The Camera Just By Pressing In & It Will Clipped Into The Cam So It Won't Get Lost Then.
Thank You! I was wondering!
@Today's Adventure You can read the manuals and specs on the DJI site, and the Do-It-All handle has a TRS/TRRS input.

Just got my Pocket 2 yesterday and sold my Pocket 1 on eBay today for $199 so pretty good trade in overall. Got the creator combo and so far thrilled with the upgrade!!!! Waiting for waterproof case to come back in stock.
Very good Q and A video. So far the best I've watched.
Great review. So informative. I have the Pocket 1. I also got the Pocket 2 for the same reasons you did. I like that I can wirelessly connect to my phone and control the gimbal with my phone. There are still many limitations. I really wish they would improve the battery life and/or enable swappable battery. An hour and forty minutes to two hours is kinda of lame. I liked and subscribed. Keep them coming please. Thank you.
5:40 The lenses DO also clip on with a little more pressure.
Thanks JD, a couple of deal breakers there for me, was all set to order the combo, however, no tracking in higher 4K 30fps is one, and both lapse modes only in 1080p (no 4K ) is the other... Thanks excellent video on point, saved me money...
Such a great tool for creators! Great vid!
The wide angle lens clicks in as well with a squeeze 👍🏻😊
Thanks! Great format and helpful info!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing! I got my osmo pocket just about a month ago and am loving it but now am considering exchanging it 😂
that clip-on magnetic wide angle attachment softens the sharpness so much
You can charge while recording. I shot a 2 hour 4k video and was at 90% battery after. I used the Smatree power handle. They advise against charging and shooting as its bad for the battery, but they say once its charged to 100, you can do it, as it just draws from the power source then.... Though my battery still drained slowly, which makes things confusing.. DJI being unclear, as usual. Anyway, I always need long battery life, so I will always be plugged in anyway, so battery damage isn't a huge concern to me. By the time finite battery devices are unusable, I've usually long since upgraded. I use the hell out of my gear.
Great job, all questions answered. Looking forward to mine arriving. Thank you.
This was Brilliant -- didn't think I was going to get my questions answered (as this is a 2 year old video) yet - Damn, you covered it all to make my decision easy. Thanks for making this video.
Great job man, own both, saved me time testing :D Thank u! Used to run Pocket 1 with 3D printed case & Wireless Go now basically don't need it
Thank you, Jeven. You answered all of my questions in the two videos.
5:35 It does clip-on. Just push it harder.
I just got Pocket 2 and it has no clip on for wide angle lens 0_o Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks for another great video Jevon! I currently have the Pocket 1 and have been debating about doing the upgrade......looks like it’s a go for me!
Can’t wait for mine to arrive in 15days time 😂😅❤️ hope by then the autofocus is fixed
Same
I have both and have to say I use both just about the same amount of time. To me the pocket 2 and it’s wireless module is easier to use
I'm on the fence if I will updgrade. The cost is too much to buy a new one. If you are a vlogger / creator, it will be an easier decision. But as a casual user, I don't think it's worth the cost.
The ending video when the DJi P2 out of battery, just beauuuuutiful
Not sure if there is already a comment regarding the magnetic wide angle lens but you can actually push the wide angles lens until you here the pop sound so it is secured in its place.
Btw, your wide angles lens are dirty
Really helpful video. Thanks! I saw on Potato Jet that you can push the wide angle and it will click lock for more stability.
If you were to choose 1 just for Vlogging purposes, which would you choose: Pocket 2 with their wireless mic or the GoPro 9 paired with Rode Go?
Howdy Jeven, great video as usual👍🏼😊 Youve provided all the answers to my buddies when they ask me why the hell did I have to get the new Pocket 2 when Im still so crazily in love with my Pocket 1👍🏼🤪
Good demonstration of the tracking system. Thanks!
Thanks. That was thoroughly done. 👍
At least now I know how to use the 'do it all'' piece is for as a newbie.. 😅🙏
It’s clearer without the wide lens
One more question: If I already own the iPhone 12 Pro and DJI OM4, is the Pocket 2 any better video and photo quality, especially since the Pocket 2 is limited in what it can do in 4k and higher frame rates? And I understand the Pocket is much more mobile set-up, at least until you start adding accessories to it, such as your smart phone. And sorry in advance for a somewhat loaded question, I'm just not convinced that the Pocket 2 is a better camera than my iPhone 12 pro.
Recently purchased the OM4 for my phone (Galaxy S9) and am very impressed! Since my phone tends to drop frames when filming in 4K @ 60fps, I was considering upgrading my phone. Other than this one hiccup, my phone works fine and the image quality is excellent. So, how about this Pocket 2? Your video has certainly helped to push me along that road! Kudos! 😎
I’m curious. When you were doing the side-by-side audio test the video from the pocket 2 looked washed out compared to the original. Was there some difference in video settings?
Yes I also wonder about that
Good job!
Enjoyed the mic/audio clarifications.
Great video.
I want to start vlogging but I think I'm going for the insta360 one r
Insta 360 1r is terrible. It has low clarity and really bad dynamic range. Also the stabilization is not very good compared to now
@@CineZoneYT what would you recommend for under 500
@@karim.9958 osmo pocket 1 or GoPro hero 8. You could also get the osmo action which is good and pretty cheap with a front facing screen.
Can you simultaneously control multiple Pocket 2's with the Mimo app? I know you couldn't do it with the 1st.
what if its battery dies after warranty period? will that be replaceable
Can I wirelessly live stream using the Pocket 2 to Facebook/Instragram natively through Mimo app?
Imagine the setup is this way:
1. Pocket 2 camera is mounted on its 'do it all handle' on the small tripod in front of me. Wirelessly connected to my phone.
2. The phone is with me to interact/read/reply comment to my audience while I am live streaming wirelessly and also to control the camera direction (tracking etc.)
Thanks
Great video. i couldnt fit my hand in the DJI supplied lanyard, so I used one i bought off amazon, Hand Wrist Strap Lanyard, Hukado 6 Pack 9.5 inch. Some people have said 256G micro SD card is max for Pocket 2, but I'm using a 512 with no problem. The case magnets are weak. I lost my iphone adaptor after 1 day. The wind screen for the remote mic doesnt have a solid feel to it when inserted.
Hi Jeven, living on a pension, I can only justify one large expenditure a year (which I use near Christmas). This year I can either afford to upgrade my Lumix LX10/15 compact to a Sony ZV-1 or upgrade my Osmo Pocket to a Pocket 2. So do you think I should made do with my Osmo Pocket for now. I’ve found its biggest problem is the shutter button that starts needing multiple presses after a lot of use (I’m a daily vlogger).
Hello sir. In my opinion, the upgrade from Lumix LX10 to ZV-1 would not be so big, as the Pocket 1 to Pocket 2. You will get only a good autofocus and mic jack on ZV1 compared to LX10. But on the pocket 2 you will have more features avaialble such as wireliss mic, wider lens, bigger sensor and etc. Also, the upgrade of Pockets are cheaper than the 1inch-sensor compact cameras. But I would recommend to get the combo option for Pocket 2 straight away. Thanks and have a good one!
I'd be tempted to go for the ZV-1. It has the potential to be a fantastic blogger camera. My question would have to be, is your vlogging on-the-go or stationary. If it's studio based then the ZV-1 is the best option. If you're a walkabout blogger, the wider FOV, better light handling, wireless mic and AT3 are definitely worth the upgrade.
I would go with the Pocket 2 as it has drastically improved the audio quality and as a vlogger sound is as important as the video. It's also more portable which is important if you're always on the move
Hey Jeven, at 5:40 you say there is no "clip-on" for the wide angle lens, but on another review, I've seen that, in fact, the wide angle lens you are using CAN be clipped on the Dji pocket 2. You just need to push on it to clip it on
Thank you for the video!
But Dang! I was all set and excited to get this, then realized -- in typical none-of-their-business DJI fashion -- you gotta hook in to DJI servers to even get started. That is a show stopper for some of us. Paranoid? Yeah, maybe. Thanks just the same.
Good job, man !
very great video man. just bought it.
Hi.
Great info thanks.
Just thought i would add that the DJI pocket 2 can be used WHILE charging from a power bank. Just sayin '
Before it becomes a paperweight because of a non-replaceable battery, it appears to be a very good upgraded product...
Love the detachable mic, but is that also battery powered and if so, will it hold charge longer than the gimbal unit itself?
As I recall it, DJI will replace the battery quite cheaply if it dies before the device is obsolete anyway. So it shouldn't need to become a paperweight.
@@Ozpeter ~ You missed the point. If your out using it and you have exceeded the batteries capability you need to recharge it rather than slapping another battery into it to carry on...
@@countingcoup or connect a portable battery pack to the base using USB C and keep filming.
@@stevefindlater302 ~ is there a portable battery pack on the unit, or are you just stating the obvious?!? So much for portability huh?
@@countingcoup just as portable or convenient as carrying extra batteries... And if you have a decent power brick (most modern options are compact also) then you’ll more than likely getter more use too. So yeh, it’s pretty obvious.
I have the wireless module on the one works real well
Although the signficant improvements, Osmo pocket 2 can't get away from the "toy universe" with what it may mean...
I 'm thinking of getting the new RS2 and play with a sony A7 series camera!
Thanks Jevon👍🏻
Excellent video and nice job triaging useful questions.
Thanks for that Q and A. Great info. Im planning to buy it and upgrading from the version 1. Soon as its available. looks like most places are sold out.
Joven you can actually push the lens so it clicks and it is locked.
About ways appreciated your reviews and info. I was going to get the original pocket but I'm now glad I didn't. I just went through your link and purchased the Creator combo. I'm looking forward to using it in my new realtor business and my RUclips videos. Thanks for all your informative content.
Good video. I have a Pocket one....I like it...but if I could get a 2 I definately would go for the upgrade NOW that I saw this video
Thanks for helping
