I've been carrying a DJI Osmo Pocket with me around Japan for the past 6 weeks and wanted to share some sample footage and my thoughts and review, including all the positives and negatives I've found.
This camera has really challenged what it means to be a camera and evolves our mentality of what cameras can be in the future. I'm absolutely loving having this around in my pocket everywhere I go and am continually impressed with the footage I am capturing with it. Not only is the DJI Osmo Pocket super convenient, but the quality is stellar.
Throughout January, whilst filming the Japan Rail Series content, I put the DJI Osmo Pocket to the test in various scenarios, including skiing. I actually found myself reaching for the DJI Osmo Pocket over my GoPro Hero6 on every occasion.
Since filming this video, there has actually been a firmware update that addressed some issues I'd originally intended to include. This gives me great hope for the future development of this camera as more features get added over time!
If you want to see more about it on the channel, leave a comment with your thoughts and suggestions and make sure to subscribe for updates on when the Japan Rail Series will be going live!

Nice review. I came back yesterday from an Austrian ski trip with the Pocket. Before I used to use a Sony RX100 on a Crane M and what a pain. The Pocket is quick and simple. Image quality is awesome. I got the DJI "Go Pro" attachment and with a Joby flexible tripod I did some motionlapse without having to bury the Pocket in the snow (with USB-C connector at the bottom getting wet) or balancing it on a railing or ledge. It worked very nicely. Yes, the GoPro attachment does cover the phone adapter location but i didn't find that an issue especially after the mid-week 1.04 update DJI put out which meant I could adjust the Pro setting on the Pocket itself.

Thank you! Yeah the size and weight make this very useful when fighting against luggage weight. Of course the Ronin brings huge advantages too, but if you don’t bring it, at least the Osmo can fill a small gap with no sacrifice to weight!

Hi Joe, glad all is going so well, that's a cool little camera, and for what it does it's a good start. So this can only get better with time, I think a tilt socket for the phone on the side may also give a little more flexibility, but I like it. As always really enjoyed your video, and can't wait for you and Ellys next vlog, all the best you guys, got some news to tell a bit later, excited.

I recently got one, and I like it. I agree with the negatives you've listed here. I knew about most of those before I bought it, and I really hesitated because of them. I just suspect that DJI will quickly come out with a newer version that addresses those negatives. I guess the best thing to do is get as much use out of this one as I can and learn it inside and out so I'll know if I want to get the next one or not.

Awesome video Joe! You said the Osmo Pocket held up pretty well in -12, do you think its rugged enough for light rain or splashes? Or snow on the camera? I wouldn’t expect it to be as rugged as a GoPro, but would it be a decent replacement for everyday recording in and around the city in all weather? Would you recommend the Osmo Pocket over getting a smartphone gimbal like the Osmo mobile 2 or something? I would really like DJI to include some IP rating in the next generation.

@joeallam 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah it worked out pretty well for me in the snow. You can even see in some of the footage that snow is falling all around. With the cold temperatures and then entering warmer environments, it created quite a bit of condensation, however I left the camera to acclimatise in my pocket and simply wiped it with a microfibre cloth to dry it. I personally much prefer this to using the Osmo Mobile, for the smaller form factor, better camera quality, faster setup time and media recorded to an SD card rather than my phone. I think weather sealing on moving parts such as a gimbal are still quite difficult to manufacture, so it might be a while yet...

@joeallam 5 жыл бұрын

This could be a great place to start, even before you update your phone as all the processing power is done on the camera itself, rather than requiring the phone. The price is also fairly reasonable in comparison to much larger cameras which will allow you to experiment much further without too much initial investment.

Next february I will go to Antarctica and for the outputs in the ZODIAC I would like to buy or the DJI OSMO POCKET ( if necessary to use with iPhone ?) or the GOPRO HERO 7.
