I bought my DJI Pocket 2 in September 2020 and after 3 years of using it, I still love it a lot! I recently bought the Insta360 Ace Pro. I also use the GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini. I am thinking about buying the Pocket 3.
Great intro to the Pocket 2 from a user’s perspective. My suggestions for your more detailed review - audio performances as well as any new audio settings since it now has a larger array of built in mics. Next, the Do-It-All handle; DJI seems to have crafted a clever add-on packed with a number of desirable features, but will it have a negative effect on the already small battery capacity. Finally, the wireless mic. This is the one that caught my interest the most, so what’s the range like, will it work with the older Pocket via its wireless module, what’s the sound quality and how much adjustability do we have. Looking forward to your review.
Stefan, thank you. I just purchased the creators kit and was worried about the night filming. I think for starting out vlogging (in which I will be doing) it will work just fine. All subscribed and smashed the like button. Looking forward to seeing all your content. --chris
Any night shot setting recommendation? I find out on AUTO the video is blurry sometimes in low light conditions. I guess I’d had to change the ISO manually
Aloha~ i have gopro9 and gorpo10blk but so tempted to buy dji pocket2 portable /4k and seems good stabilizations and zoom in and out main factors i was looking for, i am not happy with gp9 and gp9, do you think i should buy dji packet2 ? mahalo!
I just bought a GoPro hero 12 and I love it. I was considering getting a gimbal, but the pocket 2 can be had now for about twice the price of the gimbal. Any thoughts on whether you think the pocket 2 is worth it in 2024? It’s under $300 now and readily available. I’m mostly going to use it alongside my hero 12, but for lower light conditions. I know the pocket three has great low light capability, but it looks like the pocket two is no slouch in low light. I would love your thoughts. Do you think it’s worth it in 2024 since it’s under $300 now?
Just purchased the pocket 2, but about to return it, because all videos are grainy, even at 200 iso, after that is unusable, have tried everything, like shooting at 24p for more light incoming, but still the same, only outdoors is ok. Really like to use it on some wedding clips, but the videos I'm getting are very noisy. Can someone help? Thanks.
Go through you settings, its a pretty good performer. Make sure high quality mode is on to utilize the higher bitrate. Are you shooting in low light? Using ND filters?
Great side by side demonstration of the High Quality and Battery Saver mode! But does it heat up a lot during High Quality? That was one of the reasons why I didn't enable it on the original Osmo Pocket.
Thanks for the demo. What is the big difference between pocket 2 and pocket 2 combo. I am looking to make videos related to my work in my commercial painting company. Sincerely, Ajay
Nice Video, I am actually planning to get this for the B-roll doing product shots on a Slider in low light but I am not able to find a video of anyone doing this. I would love to know your opinion on this.
Hi, can you teach me how to shoot in auto mode at night? I cannot enjoy the camera at night Its full of noise. Im always at pro 4k 30/60fps 60/120shrtspeed 1600oso max but the video is full of noise🥺🥺
Just bought iPhone 12 Pro Max and already have DJI gimbal 3 but fancy a Pocket 2. One disadvantage is that I won’t have any zoom capabilities with the Pocket 2, will I? How about a comparison - iPhone + DJI GIMBAL V POCKET 2
Hey can you please tell me what are the settings you used for night shots. I get heaps of noise out from the cam. Would love to know the iso, shutter speed, frame rate, exposure meter, colour profile and white balance. Please help me. Cheers
Nice video Stefan. Thanks. Can you please explain more on Battery charging, if batteries are removable and additional put in, how to continuously record for like 4-5hours?
Battery is nonremovable, some people says average 1.5hr recording, altho offical said it's 2hr recording. Charging is easy, just plug it into a power bank
@@169494 Do you think that recording while charging it with a power bank for 6 hours straight will somehow damage the battery or affect it somehow? Thanks in advance.
@@Panos27410 it will shorten battery life for sure, I wouldn't do it any electronics to consistently drain and charge, all batterys have a limited life cycle. Exceptions I know are, some laptops or Sony Xperia 1 II or 5 II have "HS power control", that give you the options to stop charge battery and just use enough power to run. And some drsl cameras also can run on AC power source .
WOW the difference between the gopro and pocket is massive in low light. Great comparison
ready for osmo action 2 .. it beats gopro 9-10!

Wbat settings did you have on at night

Interesting.. would Insta360 one R 1" and a gimbal stablizer be as competitive as Pocket 2 in terms of quality videos/photos?

Wow this is actually surprising for the size

I would love to know your opinion on this.
How weatherproof is this camera? Can it take a little rain or if I want a more rugged camera should I be looking at an action camera?
Not weather proof. 4 mics!
I'll try to trow some footage in the full review for you
@@StefanMalloch Thank you!
@@StefanMalloch The Gopro or this is more stabil?
What is your settings in low light,Mine is 4K/30FPS Hight quality EV -0.7 ISOMAX 1600 It works for me,Do you have better settings?
Fab review! Straight to the point!

is this okay for stedy face vlog like the other you were using?
Please make a video about its indoor performance in studio!
Just bought iPhone 12 Pro Max and already have DJI gimbal 3 but fancy a Pocket 2. One disadvantage is that I won’t have any zoom capabilities with the Pocket 2, will I? How about a comparison - iPhone + DJI GIMBAL V POCKET 2
It does have the ability to zoom. I'm not an apple guy and you just cant beat its convenient package that's for sure.
Can you turn camera vertically. ?
Yes
I still haven’t mastered the Osmo Pocket, and now I have to learn all new stuff?!?!? Arrrrgghh!!! Curse you DJI~~~!! LOL
Great video. I’m looking for my first vlogging camera and I am torn between this, Sony zv1 and the canon g7 mark 2. It’s so so hard to decide.
ZV1 will have your best quality but the pocket 2 is a great contained little unit with wireless audio. Tough one
@@StefanMalloch I finally made the decision and ordered the pocket 2.
@@rkfitnessrajkaur2379
good choice
Pocket 2 for beginner vlogging. But for pro like video, vlog, and best in low light - ZV1. U will need a tripod or gimbal
I can see and hear owls at night using the Pocket 2.
Have you tried the pocket one version and is it any good or is it worth paying two to three times for the pocket 2? that's why I'm asking
What settings did you use on the Pocket 2 low light?
I film right now with my iphone xs and do travel vlogs. Is it worth it buying?
Definitely an upgrade. Honestly, this is my go to for bts and a lot of even a roll.
@@StefanMalloch ok thanks for the great review and your fast answer!😊
Thanks for letting me know
Hey can you please tell me what are the settings you used for night shots. I get heaps of noise out from the cam.

I'll make a video on settings
@@StefanMalloch thanks brother❤️❤️❤️.. Waiting on it
Great little camera...just waiting til I can afford the pocket 3
Wow, great video!!
Mine keep over heating why is no one taking about this 🤔 do you have any issues
Never had it overheat once..
I just bought one. I have noticed that slow motion mode in low light is very dark. Have you tried it?
Adjust it with the Pro mode
Mine looks too noisy at lowlight :(
Nice video Stefan. Thanks.

This is a great camera. I bought the drone version
wow nice bro
Oh no way, was this shot in Elora?
No
Low light shooting has come a long way because the Pocket 1 sucks at low light performance.
Fish eye in GoPro. Pocket 2 perfect
Yes, no more fisheye effect as with the GoPro 7 Silver.✊🏿
👌👌
❤❤
Very nice comparison. Even the mic is awesome.
