I came for the comparison, I stayed for those outrageous sunglasses.

The best thing in your review is that you are not shouting like most 'high-speed-over-the-top-yelling' reviewers. You're just sharing the facts in an informative manner. Well done! I have my Osmo Pocket for about 5 months now and I think it is awesome. Nothing beter than mechanical gimbal stabilisation for me, but DJI just launched a Gopro killer with this Osmo Action for sure!. Keep up the good work!

Finally! An OSMO Action Vs OSMO Pocket comparison review!!!!! Thank you!

Same question as so many on here. What's the resulting FF Comparison between Pocket vs Action+RockSteady+Dewarp I guess the key deciding factors are: Pocket (Narrower View, Panning SloMo, Timelapse / Panorama etc / face tracking) Action (More robust, better walking stabilisation, wider, cheaper bootleg accessories) Very tough call.

7:30 !!! This is gimbal torture =)

Honestly, I really don't know which one to choose.

Am I the only one who thinks this guy reminds of Eddie, Joey's temporary roommate in Friends ? Lol

I have the Osmo Pocket for about 3 months now and I love it. I was waiting for this comparison between the Pocket and the Action. Your comparison hits the mark and best I've seen here on YT. I think your assessment is correct. The Osmo Pocket is better for cinematic shots. And based on your video, I also like the Osmo Pockets dynamic range than the Osmo Action. The video on the Osmo Pocket seems to have better colors for grading as well. I like the field of view of the Osmo Action especially for establishing shots. I think they can complement each other. Thanks for your video it made me decide to jump off the GoPro bandwagon and jump on the Dji Action camera. I think they truly will work together. I just wish one feature to be added on both of these bad boys. I wish DJI would give us more manual control over "sharpness" or at least to disable the sharpening. One more thing, Can you make a low-light comparison video between these two products? I GOT my notification on your channel. Hope to see you do :) It will be of great help to me and for sure for others as well ... Thank you in advance and keep up the good work! :)

Excellent Review!! I have both and you nailed the use cases for both. I attach the Pocket (actually the Pocket 2) to the top of the hiking pole then just lift if up off the ground to film. The weight of the pole hanging down (like a pendulum) really stabilizes the camera and make it very inconspicuous when filming while walking down a path, street, alley or places where there are other people. The PROBLEM for me with the Pocket 2 is the screen is so damn small I have great difficulty actually seeing what I am trying to record and have missed so many potentially great shots while travelling because I was unaware that the tilt was off. Let me know if you want lots of videos of people with their heads missing. Anyway - great review. Just subscribed and will be searching for more of your posts.

Congrats for making that comparison before other KZfaq reviewers! That's exactly what I was looking for!

DJI really stepped up it’s game. I ended up getting both for traveling!

Dope, DJI is gonna take over

Man you answered my prayers with this comparison. To summarize, Osmo Action, Wide field of view, slightly better stabilization than Pocket, longer shooting time, water proof, better microphone. Osmo Pocket, Built in gimbal features (switch to front & back, timelapse, object tracking, etc) better HDR, better low light, narrow footprint. The only thing now is the heat management on both. Seems like Pocket still has heat issues compared to Action. While i really like the Osmo pocket for many of the gimbal features, some practical aspects of the Action makes the decision much much harder. Probably adding an affordable gimbal from Zhiyun over the Action might fill all my needs.

THANK YOU! This is what I’ve been waiting for since the Action was announced

Great comparison! The image quality from the Action seems to be better than the Pocket, which surprised me.

Action + a Moza Gimbal in HDR mode for the win!!!

One BIG THING that Pocket can do that Action can't is a panning time lapse, which makes scenery look amazing. The remote module makes the pocket even more versatile. Having said that, the Action is more weather resistant and rugged. I bought them BOTH! :D

Ahh thank you for doing this video, I was wondering if I should replace my Osmo Pocket with Osmo Action, but you gave me the answer I was hoping for, I'll keep the Osmo Pocket as I do travel videos, and I prefer the cinematic look. Please don't torture your Osmo Pockets like a dying fish! Awesome comparison and best tech tests on KZfaq.

now i know what is best .. thank forbyour videos

How many millimeters does the osmo action crop into when you are shooting 4k with rocksteady?

7:30 That Osmo Pocket just spazzed jeez.

So which cam is better now?

Looking for a video with a negative review of the Osmo Pocket+Action so that I'm not tempted to buy it. Ugh they're both SO good. Wish you did some underwater testing too though.

But can i actually put the OSMO Pocket in my pocket for it to film what i see when i'm walking? I need a hands free camera

Surprised you didn't mention the front and rear screens on the Osmo Action. The front is especially useful for Vlogging.

Finally somebody is comparing both DJI camera . I think the way i look to KZfaq will be different after the launching of Osmo Action . DJI only send an email to all existing clients and sample camera to 1000 vloggers . And the next day all KZfaq are saying GoPro killer !!! . Maybe this is the smartest and cheapest marketing campaign ever done . Any way , to me I will buy it for two reasons 1- I can use it when rafting with the kids . It is cheaper than the camera man I hired last year with his old camcorder 2- wide angle view that I will need to show more coverage Video. I don’t know if I’m the only person in the world who stop carrying DSLR with 2 extra lenses when traveling with the family and now I travel with 4 small camera ( gimbal, action , 360 and advance point and shoot ie G7 Mark ii) and maybe a drone .

I sold my Osmo Mobile 2 Gimbal and will buy the Osmo Action now👍🏻😃. Thanks for your video. Cheers DrDuu

geezz why does the osmo action more stabilized?😲

Gotta say the colour and sound on the action sounds better. Plus you'll have more control over your cinematic shots!

So the Osmo Pocket is around 26-28mm FF equivalent; but how about the Osmo Action with RS + dewarp?

Man, I love your sunglasses, and I think I’m gonna order couple! I’m a sunglasses guy, and I think they’ll fit my brand perfectly! Cheers from Japan!

Brother you're videos are cool

Gimbal is a game changer if you're into making videos for KZfaq or selling it on stock and it makes sense to go with pocket if you're not into any action sports or adventure

What the microphone you use..

Well in Your opinion, if you have to choose between them 2 for Vloging, not travelling vlog but studio and sometimes events vlogging, which one is better? Great Job!

What's better for vlogging?

Will there be a Osmo Action durability test video? :)

Is it me or does the Osmo action seem more stable!???

Thanks for the review I am going minimal and want to keep my camera and lenses at home, I will go for the pocket...

Which better in filming in low light and indoor? Especially the stabilisation.

I have them both, also had an osmo mobile 3. It depands in what kind of footage you're going to shoot. Both are nice and good equipments.

Can I see a review which is better underwater for scuba diving purposes, osmo action with its case and pocket with its case?

Thanx a million this helped a lot to decide what to invest in as in India these gadgets are bit expensive

Very useful video because I was confused to select whether DJI OSMO POCKET or DJI OSMO ACTION CAMERA is good for me and with this video I was able to take a decision that DJI OSMO ACTION CAMERA is better for my style of videography

please make the battery test~

Wow Great video Thanks, How good is OSMO Pocket in low light settings. I am having OSMO Action, which produces a lot of noise in low light

Perfect video for what I was looking for! Thanks! I'm still getting the Osmo Action. For family adventures that will most likely include some water fun, the Osmo Action will be perfect!

I still hope that DJI will add EIS to the pocket. It will fix that bounce you get when walking. Osmo Action just looks better when walking around.

Surprisingly, the pocket has better image quality, especially noticeable @ 4:40

I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks! Now you got a new subscriber.

I was planning to buy osmo pocket then comes osmo action. Now, I don't know what to buy. I do travel btw.

Osmo pocket is really struggling at 7:31😅😂

Great comparison! How wide is Osmo Action with RS + dewarp? On GoPro screen gets dim after 3 minutes and it's hard to see outside, how about Osmo Action?

In this both which one is better for weddings and cinematic shoots..?

7:30 osmo pocket : don't keep me down... don't keep me down... Oh shit

Great review !! I have the osmo pocket and it’s a really great product, I think I’ll go also for the osmo action for water activity.

Exactly what i was waiting for. Thanks guys!

Can you compare Osmo Action vs Pocket 2? Thank you

Ahhhh you beat me to it! I've also filmed a comparison, just haven't edited it yet!! Good work!

Is the Osmo Pocket better in low light because of the f 2.0 aperture?

Can you do a video detailing the app capability with the osmo action? I use my Sony action cam on my airplane and I’m able to wake it with Bluetooth, it connects to WiFi automatically then I can start recording on all the cameras at once. I haven’t seen any videos detailing if the osmo action is capable of this. Huge deal breaker for me if it can’t.

2:08 what camera /lens did you use to record this footage?.

This looks like a dream vlogging camera

Two different tools and depends how you use it. I won't be jumping off cliffs anytime soon so osmo pocket ftw for me.

Just bought the Osmo Pocket a few days before the release of Osmo action. Still can’t decide if Osmo Pocket is what I need for travel to Europe. Pocket has the mechanical gimble but the action can fit into more scenarios because it is tougher and rainproof but wide and no mechanical gimble. Arrrgh!

hi pls post comparison of pocket 2 vs osmo action

I will Definitely buy the pocket! Great work!

Does the pocket hold up in hiking scenarios?

Great review, was thinking about this and you came up first in the search! Great review, you answered my question.

Which one can be used while charging it

Hey bro ! Love the colors of your video do you have any links to get the same colors settings ? Keep up the nice job 😉🔥

Thanks for the video! I belive that the Osmo Pocket will be a fine addition to my Sony FDR X3000. The Sony on my motorcycle helmet (gotta love that 3.5 mic jack) and the Osmo Pocket for footage off the motorcycle situations.

It’s a nice piece kit, summers nearly here so plenty of time to play in some good light, thanks and regards.

Have both - the Pocket has a superior video quality over Action (which is still way better then GoPro Hero 7 Black). But, these are two totally different camera's for different applications. For doing crazy stuff with my kids, i'm busting out the Action. But a walk through the Zoo with them and I am bringing the Pocket.

holy!! thanks for helping me figure out what to buy !! luv ur vids 💓

Great review, just one question. Are you sure both can connect external mic 6:30 If so is it through 3,5mm mic input or some kind of USB-C for the Osmo Action?

I enjoy Osmo action, but want to have the Osmo pocket, it’s cool too. What I should prefer?! Or better to have a both?!

Can both models use ANY type/brand of external mic?

Why osmo pocket is over exposed. Is it on auto or manual?

Hello guy's. I'm a beginner and I'm confused between osmo action and osmo pocket. Please help me out.

Thanks for this really needed comparison Video!!

Just found this today..... was going to dismiss it as another blah blah blah video, but it was actually a good one!! Nice job!!!!

Both cameras are amazing !

IDK if anyone else notice all these GoPro Hero 7 advertisements before the DJI stuff. Weird.

Nice comparison video. Very informative good job

You're the best camera Reviewer.

Another great video Alex. Should be getting mine this Tuesday. Now then what to play with? Osmo Pocket or Action or Insta 360 one x ???

I hope DJI will make submarine thing camera that can submerge into water and could be controlled by remote control too

So I have a GoPro hero 7 black and the Osmo mobile pocket the question I have do I sell them both for this camera the action?

Subscribed and bought both, great video, Thank you!

Which of them is better for shooting KZfaq videos in studio like shooting at home ?!!

When mounted on a person, the pocket can't comp for z-axis bobble. This makes it difficult for anything but timelapse. All I saw were handheld shots. How well does the Action compare to the pocket when mounted on a backpack strap?

How about the low light comparison? Would the Osmo pocket perform better video and image quality?

I currently use an original Osmo to shoot real estate. That camera has a good fov. I think 93 deg , and does an ok job. The dynamic range isn’t good so I just push the interior shots to +1 and deal with it. I’m looking to replace it ( for something a little better) but held off on the osmo pocket due to smaller fov. (I compared it to my original mavic of 78 deg fov)Any ideas if this new camera might work or any other simple ideas. I don’t want to go to a bigger rig for a Real estate video, but think it’s time to move up some from the original Osmo

nice shooting of this video, I mean, even without all the comparison you talked about, it is still a worth of time. Well done!

Nice comparison. I own the Osmo pocket with its narrow FOV. I hoped that the O. Action would enable vlogging two persons walking together; is it suited for such footage?

I am very thankful to you for this comparison. Btw, which LUT do you use? Is this log or pp?

i'm doing vlogs with both cameras and they are both very good cameras

what would you recommend for vlogging purposes only?

I wish to know which camera u have used to shoot this video? Because this camera seems to be much more better than the other two.
