Special like for the t-shirt. Oh boy I used to listen to that band all day every day
Listened to plenty of Saosin in my angsty high school days, still listen to them!
Thank you for this video! I recently got a DJI Pocket 2 and am loving the camera. This video was very helpful as I learned a few things that I did not previously see. Specifically, changing the on-screen scrollbar from zoom to tilt is very handy!
One of my best purchases
The only person I could find that actually goes through the camera options and then showed us selfie mode! That’s an awesome feature
I was almost not going to include the shortcuts / menus but glad I did! I’ll keep doing that for future videos as well! Selfie mode is great for blogging with the p2! Thanks for your feedback and watching!
Thank you for these tips !
They are useful to me 😉
The tips about how to initiate different modes was really helpful ❤, keep up the good work!
Thank you Keith! I also unboxed a Pocket 2 recently, but just used it as a basic camera... These tips and tricks are really helpful for me, especially as you mentioned, there would be video shakings since it's so light and hard to feel it when we moving around; and better to connect with phone to keep it more stable in hand. Thank you, cheers!
Congrats on your new camera and thank you for the kind words! It’s a nice little camera that can shoot some great video in a pretty tiny package
This has been the most useful video on the Osmo 2 for me. Thanks, mate.
Thanks for the kind words and glad to help, Patrick!
Great content! Just picked one up today and super pumped to learn how to use.
Keep up the great work 👍

Thanks for the kind words!! Mean a lot that you came back to watch more of my videos 👍👍
@@keith-knittel it was YOUR channel a few weeks ago that made me subscribe - episode setting up the DJI RS2 properly, & yes I really like the thorough & concise content. Don’t give up. Stay with it. The content community needs you.
It’s the Saosin shirt that got me too 🤘🏽
This is very informative like me first time using DJI pocket2 .Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad it was helpful, it's a great little camera! Thank you for watching
Great Video 4k 60 fps good
Great video
Thanks for the kind words and watching!
Great video sir
Thank you!
It's a great portable camera to have everywhere with you and to use with good quality results! Freewell may possibly be creating a series of anamorphic filters with built in ND ranges for the Pocket 2, just as they recently did for the Mavic Air 2.
It's nice to always have a stabilized camera with you! Love the small form factor of this camera - that would be awesome! I just learned about their anamorphic filters w/ ND after posting my last video. Thanks for watching and commenting, Alex!
very informative. thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! Useful tips! I just bought it to complement my OM4 and Mavic Mini. I followed through your tips with the pocket in my hand and I'm ready to go!
So awesome to hear! Glad to help!!
OMG, DJI Osmo Pocket 2?! Good to know it's already available :)
Yes, it is! It's a great little camera! Thanks for watching
great
Wow, awesome review, thanks 😊💖🌷
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
This is a nice review .. im planning to buy also to pair with my camera. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! It's a great camera to have with you, doesn't take up much space in your bag! Thanks for watching
Really tempted to pick this lil camera up
It's a nice little camera, what do you film typically? Thanks for watching
@@keith-knittel well I have a Canon m50 which I make my RUclips vids on (want to update to the Sony A7C) but I want a small little pocket cam for vlogging and travelling with
Thanks, could not remember how to do it. Simple now thanks to you. I have the Osmo pocket by the way. Great little camera/video
Glad I could help!
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Sir thanks a lot for this video, it really helped me a lot 🙏🏻😇
Hei! DJI Pocket 2 Newbie here! our video was incredibly helpful! Concise and straight to the point, with many good tip, like focus firs, then double-tab. Thanks soooo much! Subscribed!
Hey - thanks Robert! I love those quick shortcuts to use the pocket 2 a little faster. Thanks for watching and glad the video was helpful!
Hello! Does your pocket 2 heat up a lot? I bought mine today and I found it gets way too hot to hold after a while. I was shooting at 1080p 60. It gets way hotter if I connect it to my phone using the usb port. I wonder if that's common or is my pocket 2 defective? 🤔
Liked this video for the saosin shirt!
They came through Cleveland a few years ago with dashboard and tbs - had to go see them, was awesome to see the Anthony Green Saosin!
thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Nice vid👌
Thank you!! 🙏
good sir watching from.infia
Video is super
Thank you!! 👍🙏
Thank you you are life saver! hey ... you have awesome golden voice ! I am very disappointed with Pocket 2 ! hoping your this video can give new life of my little pocket 2 ! thanks again
Hope to breath new life into your Pocket 2 for you! It's a great little camera - it does have it's limitations but for a camera of it's size it does a pretty great job in my opinion! Thanks for the kind words and watching!
Thanks
No problem! Thank you for watching
Good Tips!
I’m a fan of the Pocket 2.
I even did my own Quick Review.
Thanks, hope you found the video helpful
Saosin 🔥
thx
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the video! Mine will be delivered tomorrow and I'll watch your video again. But first let's subscribe! 😊
Congrats on your new camera and glad I could help. Thanks for the kind words and your support!
Thank you that was a great tips summary. The ISO tip is similar to all digital cameras but some may not be aware of 'noise', so it's good to point it out.
It is a steep learning curve for me who has never had the Pocket '1' . So many "scroll this way, that way, tap(single ,double, triple to take me down another rabbit hole it seems!)" and I've been too chicken until now to go 'Pro' although with my DSLR Nikons in the past I always went manual if I had the luxury of time to think about the shot. One thing is for sure, the gimbal has immediately improved the smoothness of my footage compared to my old (but superb still and tough as old boots!)Sony Handycam with its x32 zoom. Thanks for great tips. I will go through this video again several times (with the camera in my hand) and have subscribed to see more useful stuff well presented.
Thank you for the kind words, Terry! There are a lot of different settings on the back of the camera, but using your phone as a screen with the DJI Mimo app makes this significantly easier! Much more screen real estate and you dont have to remember all of the swipes and gestures. Pro mode is just like any other camera out there with manual settings. This is a great camera to use and play around with since adjusting the settings on the screen will immediately result in the picture changing. Unlike on a DSLR or other camera where you have to shoot, adjust, shoot, adjust, flip between the shots to see what changed, and repeat. Glad you found your way to my video and hope you enjoy shooting with your new camera! Thanks again for the kind words and watching (and subscribing!)
@@keith-knittel Glad to subscribe, Keith. And the first accessory I bought was the Pgytech (?) holder for iPhone and Pocket2 for the advantages you state. I won't take the rig out on hikes but the solo camera performed well on my last video, first time using it for real. I bravely used the bluetoothed microphone too which worked easier than I expected. I have a 'Lav' mic so I will experiment and try plugging it into it. Someone actually commented that he guessed I had used a gimbal for my video!
Dope shirt bro!
Thanks man! Anthony Green Saosin came through my city a few years ago and had to get it
Some interesting tips, thanks. Consensus on the DJI forum is that there are serious issues with HQ mode which hopefully DJI will address with a firmware update. In particular it uses what some feel is an exessively agressive amount of noise reduction which causes a loss of detail, and there's some evidence of smearing of movement. I'd suggest users make their own tests and draw their own conclusions before deciding which is best. And keep an eye open for firmware updates, which should also fix some of the problems with face tracking, which is less capable on the new model than on the old.
I try to be as objective as possible with these videos but made sure to say that was an "opinionated" tip on that one. Some people just want to film quick social media content which probably wouldn't see any great benefits of BS vs HQ - but for some more professional users filming stock footage for example, that may make more of a difference. Keep in mind that this camera has a variable bitrate as well - so if you're filming very low contrast scenes, your bitrate is going to be lower than a bright contrasty scene with lots of colors, if you try to heavily grade low contrast footage with this camera it's not going to turn out well (I have a video coming out later that mentions this). I haven't experienced any bad smearing in HQ vs battery saver with this camera, can you elaborate on that? I'd like to test that out. Thanks for the great points and watching, Peter!
Liked and subscribed! Great video
Thank you, Giuseppe! Thanks for your support
@@keith-knittel thank you for the tutorials!
it helps me a lot thnk u nd am ur new subscriber indian from france
Glad to help and thanks for your support!
Thanks for the tips,,i got now my pocket 2, and its amazing camera,very handly,thanks for the tips to use high quality,
Glad I could help! Have fun with your Pocket 2!
Thank you for this great tutorial Keith. It was very informative and I look forward to using these tips on my next vacation. You gained a follower here, nice work!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the kind words and support! Have fun filming!
NICE SHIRT! ill get mine this Sunday!
Thank you! Enjoy your new camera and thanks for watching!
Cool Saosin shirt dude. Also thanks for all the tips super helpful want to get better at using this more.
Thanks man! Loved Saosin back in the day (and still do!). Checked out your stealth camping element video, the pocket 2 is small / stealthy. I'm sure you'll shoot some cool stuff with the P2! Good luck and have fun!
@@keith-knittel Woah thanks checking out our channel. We are very small but I want to improve my skills and a film maker. It means alot hearing some encouraging words from you thank you. I have big respect for you and all the help you give us with your videos 🙏💯
Liked your way of speech.....
buying one as my first camera wish me luck‼️
I've watch whole VDO and subscribed!
Thank you for very useful information
I'm still cinsidering to buy Gopro9 or DJI Pocket 2 🤣
Depending on what you're going to be using these cameras for, will help you pick which on you want to get. If you film a lot of action sports, I'd check out an action camera - if you film more everyday stuff, I'd look into the Pocket 2. The obvious difference is the mechanical gimbal on the Pocket 2 and the ability to move the camera. What will you be using this camera for? Thanks for subscribing and commenting!
I was looking for an option so that after turning on the camera, the lens was directed to the front. Thanks for this video!
Glad I could help!
"If you a part of 5%, thank you so much!"
We should thank you! You're making amazing and unique content that others don't make. To the not-subscribers, please don't hesitate to subscribe to this channel, it's free but worth like you are buying a photo/videography lesson.
Love my pocket 2, stabilization works very very well, much better than my GoPro. Now on to accessories...
The stabilization is awesome on the pocket 2, but the durability of action cameras is nice if the shoot requires something more durable. Either way, thanks for watching, jimmy!
Wow. Genial video. Muy bueno. Actualmente ya se puede grabar en 4K 60fps en D-Cinelike?
Nice shirt!
Thank you!! They were awesome back in the day (and still are!)
excellent review and very good tips, I let you know that you won a new subscriber 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hope you enjoyed the video - thanks for the kind words and subscribing! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
We loved how you asked viewers to subscribe, so we did!
It's always weird asking people to subscribe, but sometimes I forget to sub to channels I watch but when they ask - I remember to. Glad you liked the way I asked, and thanks for your support!
@@keith-knittel Wasn't weird at all - it fit in quite well. Mind is we use your strategy with our videos? Typically less than 5% of our subscribers watch our videos so we definitely need to improve.
@@EndlessSummer Thanks for the feedback - and of course you can use this strategy in your videos! Go for it, and good luck!
Just watched this video and subscribed immediately. Thank you! I just bought the Pocket 2 to replace my Osmo Mobile 2/iPhone 12 Pro as I just wasn't getting consistently smooth video for my projects. I produce a lot of video tours for residential and healthcare related real estate, much of it inside. Was wondering what recommendations you might have for settings for slow, smooth virtual tour movement. Thanks again!
Hey there Steve, the pocket 2 is great for that, especially since it’s lens is a little wider. The gimbal also helps! I’d choose a slow follow mode and lock the tilt and roll axis. (Pan follow) to keep a level horizon. Walk slow and steady! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
@@keith-knittel One more quick question. Would you shoot at 4K 24 FPS? Or 60 FPS for postproduction purposes? My final export is almost always 1080p.
@@sanderson0664 Depends on what I'm shooting. If I'm going to slow the footage down, 60. If I'm going for real-time footage, then 24. Depends on your situation! Great question
Totally agree it’s difficult to get the smoothest footage because it’s so light.
Seems backwards at first, but a heavier camera is easier to control - for me at least. Thanks for watching
@@keith-knittel they should make it heavier for sure
I want to set the power on so the camera is facing forward. Thx
I noticed the d-cinelike switching on 4k w/do-it-all today. it was frustrating, thought i was going crazy or had forgotten how to use it. Thanks for the clarity! :)
Very frustrating indeed! Especially since I love using the do it all handle when filming. I hope dji updates this with a firmware update to unlock this. It feels like a bug since it’s only with the handle that it can’t record d-cinelike. Thanks for the kind words!
@@keith-knittel Yeah, a bug or even a feature that slipped for the initial release. My hope as well on the firmware. Since this is still relatively new I would expect some more firmware updates over the next while. I've only seen one so far since I've owned this, and that was about 3 weeks ago.
I really want to get the Pocket 2 now
It's a great little camera! Thanks for watching
Very useful video
Does it work with saramonic microphone as Dji pocket 2 doesn’t have wireless unless we buy Cambo
If you also have a DSLR/Mirrorless I highly recommend getting a cold shoe adapter and try mounting the pocket to your main camera. It kinda looks like a shotgun mic or something and it is able to just record while you focus on the main camera. Depends on your work flow but there is a lot of potential for what you can do. If you’re main focus is photography you can get useable video as well, Or Take video on both and you get a stabilized “B cam”/ wide shot, while you have a tighter shot on the main camera.
Video from the pocket looks great because of the gimbal and doesn’t have to be babysat, and you get the advantage of having the pocket attached to a bigger rig so it doesn’t move as much
Wow nice saosin t-shirt
Anthony green saosin rips!
Great Video! Very valuable information! I was apparently not aware that High Quality mode had limitations for which FPS mode could be used. Has that changed? Which will offer better quality, Battery Saver Mode Full HD 60p, or High Quality Mode Full HD 30p? I will hopefully eventually get the Creator’s combo. I thought I will shoot Travel Vlogs (mostly) in Full HD 60p, but the issue is that it’s only apparently available in Battery Save mode. What would You suggest? Thank You. Hope You are Safe and Well.
Mate I love your shirt!!!! #Saosin
Haha thank you man!! One of my favorites
Hi this is Sridhar from india thanks for sharing your experience about osmo pocket lot's of my confusion solved keep it up bro! 🤠👍
Glad to help, Sridhar! Thanks for the kind words and greetings from Ohio, USA!
It's good camera for RUclips
Depends on what videos you’re making!
The video is clear and comprehensive, and comments more and more, sooner or late will be more followers.------Michael from Ulanzi
Thanks, Michael! Appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching
@@keith-knittel Do you still remember me?
Thanks for the tutorial! I just got this camera and I’m wondering how to get the footage off the camera and onto my iPad so I can edit with iMovie or would you recommend the DJI editor?
Hello there Ashley, you can connect to your pocket 2 remotely and transfer the footage that way. You can then import it into any editor you can use on your iPad. Thanks for watching!
Plugging a lav mike into the wireless mic is a great idea. I also find the wireless mic bulky to use.
For sure! That big box-looking mic is pretty distracting. Much easier to conceal a lav mic
Thanks for great videos. I've watched a few and subscribed. I'm looking for a camera that is easy to carry around for mostly stills, since I need to print at 300 dpi. Prefer not to use my cell phone. I shoot with bigger cameras as well, but not practical for carrying around all the time. It looks like this is sharp for stills, as well as video.
Thanks for the kind words! It’s capable of shooting photos as well. Great for traveling compared to a larger camera but more limiting since you can’t swap lenses but depending on what you want to shoot. Love mind for using it as a second camera for motionlapses when shooting with my larger camera too! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great video! How do control the ISO?
You have to put the pocket 2 into “pro” mode to adjust the iso and other settings. Hope this helps and thanks for watching and commenting
