"You never know when you want to whip it out and use it" ... words to live by

Just ran across this video and it was fantastic .. seen a lot of product and explainer videos out there but yours was well paced , simple and sprinkled with a little humor above all you get right to the point . I just got my pocket 2 and all of your tips are going to help me just get better and better . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and doing it so well .

Thank you for sharing. Very useful suggestions, I'll follow them.

This video is helpful! Thanks Dave for listing these common mistakes.

Thanks so much.. that answered a lot of questions I had.. Great video!!

Thanks Dave. Wonderful stuff.

Very interesting video. I will be keeping these tips/mistakes in mind when I get mine tomorrow.

Thanks, Dave. I’m just starting out and you’ve been very helpful.

Very useful and practical advices, thank you very much 🙏

I really appreciate your insights, energy, and openness. Well done! I get my Pocket 2 today and I found your video very helpful.

Thank you for all the details..😍😍

I just bought this gorgeous cam, nice video, good explained, thanks!

Excellent Video. I’ve been using my P2 for nearly a year - but have (belatedly) learned a few things today.

Mine is on the way. Thanks Dave!

Great to hear those tips, just bought one and is coming in this week, thank you for the video!!!

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful list of mistakes! I just got mine about a week ago and am slowly learning more about it. It's going to be my main video camera for my PCT attempt this summer so I want to know as much as I can about it.

I loved this video, I had no idea where the mics were located and you just saved me so many headaches

I whip it out a lot, and show people what it is. They see that I am very skilled at using it. Whip it out carefully, or you’ll scratch it on a coat or pocket zipper. I have had mine for a while, and love it!

The 'holding in a toot' walk is the best kept unofficial secret of keeping your gimble steady + a solid tip! Thanks Dave.

That may be the cutest little camera I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing your mistakes!

Thanks for your advise Sir. :)) just bought this little thing the other day :))

I love honest mistakes you shared and walking as if you're holding your gas made me laugh. Have a great weekend!

Very useful tips, thanks!

Thank you for the tips very informative

Good tips. Thank you.

This is an absolute banger of a video! Lol learned a lot. Been spending much more time with my pocket 2 and these tips helped. Also! Earned a sub!!!

Great video, all great points

i love it. i have osmo pocket 2 this year. i will keep watching your video tips.

So great to watch. Thanks! :-)

Thanks, Dave. All good things to be aware of. For stability with my old (but great and solid as a rock!) Sony Handycam I do the smooth walked aided by having it on a Gorillapod with a couple of the legs splayed out for an attempted at balance. I may keep up the practice for the P2.

Wow.. spot on … thanks millions🎉

Thank you! We just bought one today, gonna take good care of it! 😄

Very valuable and well presented! Thank you very much! Have a great day ahead :)

Excelente job

Great video mate! 👍

Awesome. Thank you,.

thanks Dave, this was very educational. You explain it clear and simple. My "word of the Day" for today is going to be "toot" for me. (I gotto use seven times in a day to make sure to sunk it in...) Good luck to me. :)

Thank for this

I'm making a research about vlogging cameras , thinking about DJI P2. I just found your video and I gotta tell you - I really enjoy your videos! The way you talk and show things is just nice :) It's hard not to like you:D great job, leaving a sub!

Great video! I'm thinking of buying one, too.

Another great video well delivered

SUper tips! Holistic tips!

Excellent Video thanks for sharing…. 👍😉😎

Dji creator combo 🔥

Nice one learned a lot here.

My dream is Pocket 2, but here in Brazil the price is very high, I can't wait to have an opportunity to buy and improve the quality of my videos. Congratulations on the video.

Great entertainment and review, subscribed. Thinking of buying one for my street evangelism will look a heck of a lot better than my hero 3 black footage!

I love it when grand pa Tintin explains about pocket 2.

Hey. Great video. You talked about expensive gimbals where there are no jumps. What expensive gimbal does the Go Pro 9 + 10 have that the jumps in it are not noticeable? Thanks

I have made many of these mistakes!!! Thanks for the video, you should do a Q and A video on the osmo pocket and pocket 2?

You are an absolut legend dave i also use dji products for my photoshoots :D

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with this camera. We just picked one up too. In your experience should we be using any filters for interior Real Estate based shots?

good video, cheers

Great info. Quick question, what is the name of the extension handle you are using with the pocket 2?

Now! Thanks for the video.

Just got it with creator combo, nd filters, selfie stick, charger, etc and a great case it all fits into. I also have the A6600 and will be bringing both on trips. Blown away by what this impossibly small camera and gimbal can do.

Great advise, liked and subbed :)

Great video. Question though, should i always use pro mode or is the standard mode good enough?

Very useful tips sir! I have a question. What iso level should i use in low light conditions? I also record at 24 frames and follow the 180 rule, so the shutter speed is at 1/48 or 1/50, but in this configuration it looks so dark in inside the house takes, should i increase the iso level?

Great video! I attached my Rode wireless 2 to my Osmo 2 with creator combo while attached to my phone and got a electronic buzzing, like interference. Have you had this problem and do you know how to fix this? Thanks!

Helpful💥

Best ninja walk reference ever!🤣

Gotta say... great intro haha. Keep it up :)

Fantastic share my friend see you again cheers

Holding in a toot is probably the absolute best way to describe the skills required for using most gimbals. Brilliant.

Great video. I cant get my head around AFs and AFC . Is AFS like manual focus ? so you click on it once and it's focused at that point. So for example Click AFS once on a landscape. Move behind a rock ( rock should be blurred out) Pan /slide left and landscape will be in focus. AFC always does auto focus Landscape is in focus move behind rocK and it will refocus on the rock when would you use AFS vs AFC Regards

Just finished watching your "mistake" video! So good! I have a question: would you mind explaining a bit more here why you shoot in 24 fps for interviewing and selfie videos? Is it because it is a more natural look? Also, do you shoot always in cine mode? Thanks for any help!

Great to watch the video...👌🏻

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! :). One question, how do you know which ND filter do you need to use in each moment of the day or night?

Excellent tips! Thank you. About the ND filters, I stopped using them and auto gives me a better recording experience. The pocket 2 is a great little beast!

Nice video, thanks for this. Trying to watch all but curious about tempered glass screen protector, do you think yay or nay?

Hi Dave! Thanks for sharing and making this so fun to watch! I just got my pocket 2 and I have been having overheating problem. Is this common? Do you have issues with it?

Many thanks for great tips for me as a beginner to the Osmo Pocket 2. One request: Do you suggest using filters even in automode? Contrary to DSLR's I'm not going to use the Osmo in the manual mode 90% of the time, I guess, it's a quick vlogging option for me with no hassle to worry about. Many thanks, I'll be following the channel.

Hello, I just picked up my Osmo Pocket 2 and your videos have help me a lot, thank you so much for your content, Keep it going on. Have you noticed that with the phone plugged in and slow motion selected you can’t change it to 240 FPS? Have a great weekend, Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱

Hi Dave ,thank you for sharing. I can relate to the last few words" Don't beat yourself you will get better". Well that's exactly how I feel. I bought the Dji pocket 2 since December last year and it's only about a week ago that I am trying to learn it. I've been a still photographer for over 20 years now shooting mostly weddings and portraits. I want to incorporate some bts using the Dji pocket in my studio and outdoor portrait shoot. But I'm really struggling here. What would you recommend for a novice like myself and also what is the easiest way for me to edit these small clips to upload on instagram mostly. Any advise and recmmendation will be greatly appreciated.

Like to use it at floor level on a pole using my phone as a monitor - is that possible?

I have a question. I'm seriously thinking of getting this. I'm a videographer, and do a bit of weddings. I was thinking of using this for outdoor ceremonies only and no this wouldn't be my only camera. I would use for the entrances and center cam during the ceremony. I do already use my Panasonic G9 on a gimbal works great, but auto focus isn't great it's not bad if you do what I do and use a prime lens, but with this I could actually do a small zoom in to change that center shot during the ceremony IE ring exchange, vows and maybe kiss. What are your thoughts?

do you put nd filter and change the shutter for slow motion too?

Does it have a 3.5m port for an external mic (like the Rode Go?)

What is the best gimball setting when filming from a bouncy car?

I love ur video sir, no doubt to subscribe.

can i use same ND FILTER "GetZget® Lens Filters Combo for DJI Osmo Pocket" for both osmo pocket 2 and mini 3 drone?

Hi - great tips thanks. Can you tell me what phone holder you are using at 9:10 as all the ones I’ve looked at grip the phone at the middle and end up pressing the buttons!!!! Thanks

Hello, thanks for this video. Sorry, maybe this will be a stupid question, BUT: We just got the Pocket 2, we did not bought any SD card yet, but we tried the camera with a mobile phone, and the image seems to be laggy when this little guy is following our movements. That's a normal "reaction"?

loved this mate ya talked at normal speed and explained at normal speed im from downunder can i film upside down am only joking will get this little pocket as i loved kayak racing an rowing again well done cheers an beers mate bobby j.

Can you do vertical video with the Pocket 2 for FB and IG stories?

Enjoyed the video, Dave. I just became aware of the Pocket 2 and trying to decide if I should spring for it. The idea of having such a compact gimbal with the camera built in really appeals to me. I've own a ZHIYUN gimbal for two years and can count on one hand the number of times I've used it. QUESTION: What do you think of the Pocket 2 from a casual photography perspective. I'll be heading to Disney World in about a month and was wondering about the quality of photos and also how easy it would be to bounce back and forth between taking video and photos. What-a-ya think?

So interesting video! Where are you from, Mr?

How do u slow down the footage ... Do.u use Pc software

Z-Axis gimbal exists from 'Scotty makes stuff', works really well to remove walking bounce and lets you walk gas free (aka normal)

Can i use my android phone as view finder using a type c cable connected at the bottom port of the pocket 2

Hi I'm fairly new to the pocket 2 and initially bought a set of standard ND filters but I found them to be a bit fiddly and soon got tired of switching out filters every 5-minutes to suit the varying lighting conditions so I purchased a pair of variable ND filters and these have proved to be really good. As they were only an experiment I didn't buy the most expensive I simply bought a reasonable brand and they've worked out fine. I no longer have to fiddle around changing the filters - all I have to do is rotate the bezel on the outer edge of the filter until my exposure value comes down to something close to what's required. Because I'm in the UK I shoot in 25 frames per second and always try to stick to a 50th of a second shutter speed but I'm coming round to thinking now that I might start filming in 50 frames per second at 100th shutter in order to be able to use the slow motion that you outlined so well in this video. After watching one of your previous videos I've also just invested in a z-axis stabilizer as I'm not exactly nimble these days and I need all the help I can get with smooth video! This has yet to be delivered and is on its way from Australia as we speak. Thanks for your very informative videos I've just subscribed 🙂

Dave… love the vids. I need help. My wife and I find ourselves out and about with the pocket 2 combo. But we find the micro won’t pick up the other persons audio. Duel mic setup? We’re within 5’. Got a hack for us?

Thanks for the amazing video, love it! have a quiestion, I do not know if someone ever respond but will try my chance :) Do you know what are the flash lights popping on the backround at 1:06 ? thanks!

I have been using the pocket 2 for a couple of weeks now. The footage that I get while using pocket 2 is grainy...always...in low light as well as normally. I am using the camera in auto mode in 4k 24 FPS. I am able to get a clear video...the stabilization is good...but the 4K video is grainier than by mobile camera....is there any way to fix this.

I wish the pocket 2 has the older lens from the pocket 1 because of the narrower angle, looks more cinematic i think. So recording in 60fps it better for slow motion even when i export the video in 30fps?

Can you teach live streaming from Facebook using the phone internet?

Hello great video!! Do you know why the Pocket 2 camera points directly to ceiling every time I walk into any building where the ceiling is well lit or there’s a giant skylight like a mall?

I really like your last point on "practice, practice, and more practice"! So, my question is, WHERE do you store all the footage? Hard disk? KZfaq? Please advise. Thanks a lot!!
