Hi, I have to say this is about the only video i found that answers my very question, straight to the point with an explination, all the others waffle on to make longer videos and miss things out, this channel is straight in no messing and qustion answerd. just brilliant
Hi! Thanks so much for this comment, it is really nice to hear. Although I keep it short as my memory can't keep too much in my head at once ;-) But I'm glad my short, to the point approach is appreciated- Best wishes, Tim
Hi, thanks for this video (and your whole series of videos)! A quick note about frame rate: On big TVs, 30 fps walking videos look choppy, especially when they pan, but 50 and 60 fps look great. So I think it depends on your target audience; for mobile devices and smaller-screen computers, 30 fps is probably fine, but for people who watch walks on a big TV while exercising (or just sitting on the couch), 50 and 60 fps can be a lot more pleasant.
Hi - thanks for the really great comment. This is a very good point you have made here, that 50/60 fps can reduce the chopiness of panning on larger devices. I appreciate this comment very much. I'm going to do some experiments with this suggestion in mind to see the results. Thanks again!
Thanks Tim, Credit to you for your Pocket 2 tutorials. I've found them very helpful. You mentioned in this video you were going to make another video about preventing stuttering during panning shots. I'm shooting at 1080P 24 frames per second and having this issue. I've watched the other videos in your playlist and can't find how you resolve this problem. Could you kindly direct me to the video concerned. Many thanks.
Hi John, thanks for stopping by and pleased the tutorials are useful. I have had a look at my videos and realised I must have forgot to do that video which is why you can't find it! Now you have reminded me I'll record a video in the next week or two to explain what the problem is and how to fix it, so that'll come soon. Basically in the mean time - you need to record the panning shot in at least 48 fps rather than 24fps which will reduce the jerkiness considerably. You can then either play it back at 24fps in the video editor or keep it at the higher framerate. The video I'll make should explain it further.
Thanks Tim for your reply. I have hunted around the internet to find the answer to this problem. I will experiment with 48fps and see how it goes. A 'how to fix it' video would be most welcome. I look forward to seeing it. Many thanks. @@4T-Tech
Hi John, sure, I'm currently in the process of editing the video so it'll be coming out next in about 3 days time or shortly after that. I'll update the comment when it is!
Hi thanks for the comment! Interesting question - is it the sound of your footsteps or sound of clothes rustling? I would think perhaps you could first try changing the mic direction on the Pocket 2 to front only rather than all directions first (ie front 2 mics rather than 4 mics). If that doesn't help perhaps pair up a shotgun mic to the Pocket 2 - for example Rode VideoMic Go2 or Sennheiser MKE200 (just examples) to pick up sound in front of you rather than behind the Pocket 2. Not tried this though!
Thanks for the reply! I’m using the pocket 3, it’s just the sound of my footsteps. I’m currently configuring my settings for walking videos. It’s all good apart from the footsteps. I’d prefer them to not be as noticeable. I’ll give your suggestion a go. Thanks again!
@@decdeckershow did you end up configuring microphones? I tried Tim's suggestion, I mount a small shotgun mic to a mini tripod that has a cold shoe mount on its side. This gathers sound from the front, muffles my voice a bit, and almost eliminates footstep sounds - even in the woods.
In my walking videos I was also bothered by the footstep sounds and my breathing when going uphill and by wind noise. I am now using an external mic, Røde VideoMicro, with a wind muff (sometimes visible when paning to fast), and I am pleased with the low walking sounds and wind noise. I have a Small Rig Double Cold Shoe Mount and a small handle that I screw into the Do-it-all handle.
Hiya!! Thanks for the comment and question! The gimbal speed of 1 is the slowest and the smoothest but it's soooo slow, too slow I think. I'd go for maybe 3-5 setting depending on how smooth you need it - 5 is faster but less smooth than 3 for example. Hope this helps!
Hi - thanks for your comment. It does get a bit warm after perhaps an hour of use but wouldn't say it's gets hot. It's a bonus hand warmer if using it in the winter. It cools down quite quickly.
Honestly, rather than watching your face for all that 5 plus minutes, it would have been more interesting showing us views of your fingers touching or swiping to set things up on the actual Osmo Pocket.
Hi Ed, you are absoutely right! Feedback taken on board for future, noone wants to be subjected to my not so pretty face for too long 😀 I'll produce a new version actually showing the camera more, thanks!
Hi thanks for the comment. No I don't think so as it doesn't need to as it has the gimbal. Gyro data is used for EIS stablization like Hypersmooth etc.

@@4T-Tech Your welcome Tim, its nice to get a direct answer instead of a long winded answer that is still not always that clear.
Great if you could make an update for the pocket 3! 🙏
Great info. It would of been nice to see what you were talking about it action. But, I'll just re-watch and take notes. Thanks! 😊
Hi - thanks for the comment and good suggestion, I'll take this feedback for a possible update video for future, thanks!
Thanks for sharing your settings :). I will do all this configurations to start another RUclips channel. Thank you very much.
I bought this two weeks ago thanks for making this video
Hi - great, enjoy the Pocket 2, it's still a great little camera!

Hi, thanks for the tips! Have you got any tips on reducing the sound of me walking when I film my walks?

Hi again, in the accessories menu, for gimbal speed, there is choice 1-10, what ought I leave it on for smooth action? Thanks again sweetie!

hi does it get hot while using it for long
