    I'm so glad to see that someone has finally mentioned the astounding image quality that this thing produces. I've watched plenty of other reviews and in them there are many flaws mentioned but from the very first time I saw the video quality I was amazed that such a small device can produce that level of quality and yet no one is talking about it. Despite its flaws I think I'm about to buy one primarily because of the quality. Thanks for a great review.

    I have had this osmo pocket since the 15th December. Your review is the most honest one I have seen. I too am p****d off everytime the tutorial videos kick in, should be easy to have a disable option. I have said so in my play store review. I also have trouble framing shots when using slow follow, there is a compromise between steadiness and being able to turn quick enough to catch your subject. I think the "slow follow" should be more finely user configurable.
    When using the pan joypad on the app, it should be lockable in x or y axis because it is really difficult to do a straight left to right pan without accidentally slipping up and down, also the sensitivity of the pad should be user configurable. Generally I think there is a learning curve to handling this device and it may take a few hours of filming to master it.

    I do prefer seeing the end product being nice (image/video quality first) versus enjoying it during use. I had that (enjoy using it) with the GP5 and GP6 and realized my footage needed so much post processing to look decent that I sold both. Thank you for clearing up something for me, a lot of YT reviewers keep saying that the video quality isn't great and I couldn't understand that ( I kept asking them if they viewed their images and videos using monitors and are they looking at the footage using their mobile devices and none of them ever responded, even asked what firmware they're using and didn't get a response either - unsubbed to a lot of them because it felt they we're pushing the GoPro agenda). This thing captures in 100 Mb/s while the GP7 only does 75 Mb/s. This means it should capture more detail and you confirmed that. Thank you once again!

    A lot of the points you bring up are things that have held me back from ordering a couple of these... But I'll probably pick up a pair in the new year, because the size and unobtrusive nature of the form factor will allow us to film some great content in places where a Red, DSLR, or even a compact mirrorless would attract too much attention and change the flow of what we are trying to capture. Thanks for the indepth review.

    • @geraldundone
      @geraldundone  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    • @Ozpeter
      @Ozpeter 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@geraldundone The fact that in effect, it's got a fully articulating screen (thought tiny) is often overlooked. That combined with using the gimbal to keep things straight and flat, means you can use it in flashlight position by your side, whereas with a gopro or the like, you've really got to have it close to eye level. So that helps it be inconspicuous in use.

    I'm really glad that you in particular mentioned that the footage is better than most products of its size and even cell phones because people always give me a hard time on TH-cam when I watch their comparison videos. I don't know what's going on with their eyes but I see a much better sharper more quality big camera image coming from the osmo pocket versus whatever phone anybody's ever comparing it to.
    But I always get a hard time from people in the comments section. I guess everybody's eyes are broken. I think from now on I'm going to send them your way to watch your video because you explained it very well.

    @DI-cm5xc 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks for the honest review Gerald. I do video geology lectures in the field for an institute. These locations can be very remote and backpacking weight is critical, as I am often alone. The ability to place this device in some sort of holder on a tripod (shouldn't be too hard to rig up) and have it track me as I move around a bit while talking, could add a very nice change to the static video I normally have to shoot. May give this device a shot. Audio is recorded separate, so the internal mic quality is no issue.

    • @Ozpeter
      @Ozpeter 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pending release of the proper holder, you can use a spring mic clip to hold the camera, and a thread adapter to enable the mic clip to fit a tripod thread - very cheap to do.

I wonder if you can set the gimbal pan to loop around for an extended period of time without having to touch it. Or even track faces automatically. Or somehow combining this with one of those tiny automated sliders.

    Nice review Gerard. I used the original osmo extensively for 2 years and totally did away with using the phone. I can see the thing damaging the usb port, it looks very vulnerable. It's so small they should have made it clip to the top of the phone and plug it in with a short cable and just hold your phone portrait style.

    I’m about to receive this camera tomorrow hahah. But honestly this is one of the best reviews, might I say, the best, because you’ve really pointed out very important “failures” or disadvantages that other reviewers haven’t mentioned. All that in 12 minutes & straight the point!

    I've watched a few of your reviews now and I love that you speak for the entire video and you are actually enjoyable to listen to. If i spoke for that long people start yawning. very interesting style and definitely enjoying the content as i recently acquired the 56mm sigma (for aps-c so I am more on Dunna's camp) and the Osmo Pocket!

    Very detailed an objective review! I've been eyeing this as the camera to keep in my pack on long rides where a Mirroless/DSLR would start to wear on me, but I think I'll hold off until a few more firmware updates sort things out. Fantastic show from DJI otherwise!

    Well done. I can’t argue with anything you said. Your review felt very unbiased and professional. I was also blown away from the quality of the footage. And love the small size. There is always room for it to come along. My only real gripe is the lack of 1/4 20 on the bottom.

    I placed an order for the Pocket as soon as my local camera shop opened the pre-order; my main motivation for getting it is its size & the video quality that I could get from it. The sample video you shared sort of made me believe I made the right choice!

    Hi Gerald.
    How to turn a negative into a positive, hit the dislike button twice :) Best review so far of this camera. Very balanced and only dealing with actual real world scenarios and issues. You've hit the nail on the head, picture quality. For sure, it's not perfect and will take a bit of getting used to but every single camera every made has some sort of issue, be it personal usage based or inherent to its design.
    I will get one but only when the mic adaptor is released and the Pocket proves to be good for audio as this is what could really lift it well out of reach of the competition. It's really refreshing to come across a TH-camr/reviewer who doesn't get bogged down with all the negatives and keeps an eye on the most important thing, in this case, absolute picture quality.
    Here's another way of looking at it. If someone had shown me well shot video footage from the Pocket, without saying what it was. Then they said I could get that quality in an ultra portable portable camera that fits in my pocket and only costs £329 (UK) I'd be all over it like a rash. Then imagine you buy that camera and find it had a built in gimbal.
    Great video Gerald, have just subscribed.
    Cheers,
    Dave.

      Hi Gerald, you're welcome. If you check out my channel later tonight I'll have a video up showing how to build a tiny omni mic for a GoPro. Once DJI release the mic adaptor for the Pocket I'll be doing a similar how to on building a tiny omni and tiny cardioid for the Pocket. Cheers, Dave.

    I find the Osmo to be a bit too small. I know we are talking about 4K 60fps but for me, I will buy an Osmo Mobile 2 and use it with my Yi 4K and save 160$ CAD.

    The best review of the Osmo Pocket by far. I must confess - I ordered it right away, just because I ... wanted it ;) I have the Osmo Plus, the Osmo Plus (with too must accessories) and the ronin s. Of course I would always prefer the Ronin S with my GH5, but you cannot put it in your pocket ;) Okay - what I think about it? It's not finished. I'm missing too much functions in the Osmo - all the time you need the mobile phone to change the settings. It feels to crazy light - like a toy. And you instantly have the feeling you cannot trust this thing at all. BUT the picture quality and stabilization is really good! With a better firmware it will become more usable without phone. So I will keep it :)
