Pro mode: tap the top left of the screen on the pocket to access the settings FPV mode: is meant for experiential filming like on a ride at a theme park or riding in a car with a friend
You get the point. Most people think a gimbal is only a alternativ stabilisation method. But the key advantage of a gimbal-cam is not stabilisation. The real advantages are the tracking features, motion control from the ground and the use on a boom-pole for jib- or crane shot with minimal setup-time using lightweight and cheap equipment.
Wow, the connection between motion blur and frame rate, and how they create the cinematic effect was totally new for me, thanks for this awesome video!
I don’t like how TH-camrs talk a lot of unnecessary things. So here is the Summary: 1) Get ND filters 2) Follow cinema standard 3) Activate Slow Follow mode 4) Do not use FPV 5) Use Zebras for overexposure check 6) Shoot video 7) Buy course???
I use osmo for events and do stills with my Sony A7iii. Best combo when you are doing events and have no time to put camera on gimbal and rebalance esp if you use flash. So yeah can be used for making money.
I did the math awhile back based off of the numbers people were talking about and how much time they were putting it and it its frankly a minimum wage job. the money you make covers the time to organize/edit/upload/tag at best but not the time it took you to create the shots. So I don't know if things have changed since then, but I still believe that time is better spent on sales/production of your video business instead of looking for pocket change selling stock videos.
I used it snowboarding last weekend but haven't had time to put together an edit yet. Unfortunately it was really wet and foggy conditions which caused problems getting focus. Other than that it worked pretty well. The moisture didn't affect its operation. It was a little cumbersome to pull out the phone if I wanted to change settings. I wish there was a way to make quickly accessible presets that could be recalled from the device. The small buttons were a bit difficult to operate with gloves but still usable. Footage was nice and smooth in follow and tilt lock modes and the tighter lens angle makes a much better shot than the gopro imo. I would still like option to use it on a backpack, helmet, and pole mount to gain more versatility. I also say that some sort of ND filter is a must. I used the Freewell NDPL 16 and 32 most of the time.
I saw a comment that a reviewer at either Best Buy or Amazon said that one has to basically agree to give away a lot of privacy information by having no choice but to agree (to it) if one wants to get the camera setup. Also, it's a little bit of a turn off (though not necessarily a deal breaker) that after charging the batteries 400 times one then has to chuck it into the trash can. I do very much like the camera for the most part, incidentally.:-)
Hey Jeven, DJI's last firmware makes it possible to reach Pro mode on the Osmo Pocket and turn on/off PRO mode directly. Also allows you to change AFC/AFS. Check it out if you have not done so.
You mention capturing audio in windy environments. I have iPhone 7 Plus and just purchased an Osmo Mobile 2 when I ran across this video tutorial. Thanks
I've been looking for the suitable camera for a specific purpose, which I will describe. So far I'm thinking the DJI Osmo Pocket is the best product, but I'm unclear about enough details to not be sure. So I'll describe the application here and hopefully you or other advanced Osmo Pocket owner can answer my questions and make any suggestions that seem appropriate (including which accessories to buy or what other product to buy instead of Osmo Pocket). Okay, here goes... I ordered a new, tiny, high-tech, 2-seat airplane that is especially good at flying low and slow past awesome scenery... as well as landing in tiny, rough places... as well as long flights (up to 15 hours non-stop at anywhere between 50mph and 170mph). I want to mount 4 or 5 cameras on the airplane to capture footage to edit into youtube presentations as well as longer presentations (documentaries or short films). And, of course, create a large set of stock footage. Which cameras to choose has been quite the chore to figure out. I started with the blackmagic ursa mini pro 4.6 because they have an awesome dynamic range and can shoot videos with no compression artifacts. But they cost $6K each without lens, are quite heavy and bulky for this application, and require quite beefy gimbals to hold and control so much weight. Furthermore, they block so much air that putting 4 of them on the outside of the airplane will cause quite a bit of drag. Plus there the question of controlling all these cameras and gimbals from in the cockpit is an unsolved problem so far (for me, anyway). Before I encountered the DJI Osmo Pocket a few days ago, I was considering GoPro Hero 7 Black. But apparently they can't smooth at 4K @ 60 FPS. Plus the specific vibrations and jiggles common at attachment points on the outside of airplanes are not tolerated or compensated for by the GoPro smoothing technique very well. Plus... how to effectively control several Hero 7 cameras remotely. However, compared to the BlackMagic solution, they are much cheaper at $400 each, and they are much smaller, lighter and easier to mount. Which brings us to the DJI Osmo Pocket camera. They are even cheaper than the GoPro Hero 7 Black cameras... slightly... and have REAL gimbals that apparently work quite well at 4K @ 60FPS, which is very important to me. Supposedly... though I don't know for sure... this real gimbal is vastly better at smoothing out the 5~40 Hz vibrations that are common on airplane surfaces, caused by slight imbalances of propellers and caused by turbulence against airplane surfaces. Maybe you can confirm or deny this factoid. One camera will be attached to each wingtip, nominally pointed left and right compared to direction of travel (that is, pointing at scenery and away from cockpit). Another camera will be attached to the body of the airplane just below the tail, nominally pointing forward and slightly downward (so the tires are usually just above the top of the frame, and thus not visible). Another camera will be located inside the cabin behind and between pilot and passenger, pointed forward through the front window with instrument panel visible in the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 the field of view. And finally, a camera might be attached to the passenger window pointing slightly forward so the faces of passenger and pilot are visible in the left side of the view, the left wing and scenery will be visible out the pilot window, and more scenery will be visible out a portion of the windshield in front of the pilot. My most important questions are... how the passenger will monitor and control these cameras! Because I don't own a mobile phone, and because I never plan to, and because a large ipad is a great pilot tool for flight planning and other purposes, I prefer to control the cameras with a large ipad. So my first question is... does a large ipads run all the same apps as an iphone does... including apps to control the DJI Osmo Pocket cameras? I assume so, but if not, I'm back to square one and maybe the DJI Osmo Pocket is not the camera for this application. The next obvious question is... how to control 4 or 5 of these cameras from the ipad. A related question that I'll pose now because it may interact with the question of controlling the camers is... how can all these cameras be powered during long flights (as in 2, 4, 8, even 16 hours non-stop)? My first thought was to find a 16 foot long usb-c cable for each camera and simply plug each of them into the ipad when the time comes to change the settings in that camera. In other words, plug and upplug the 5 camera cables into the ipad... one at a time as needed. However, this doesn't address the question of how the cameras are kept powered for many hours at a time. Furthermore, this doesn't address how the ipad is powered for many hours at a time either. My next assumption was... I can probably find a big honking high-capacity Lithium-Ion battery gizmo that is specifically designed to power usb-c devices... maybe even 6 or 8 usb-c devices simultaneously. Then all 5 cameras and the ipad can be kept full of power by this high-capacity battery in the cockpit. The problem with this is... the control signals from ipad to cameras needs to pass through the same cables. Which raises the question... how would one tell the device to route control signals between the ipad and desired camera? Unfortunately... though I know *NOTHING* about small gizmos and how they're powered or controlled up to this point... I have a feeling this is a bit esoteric for such a device to exist. Or maybe not. After all, there *ARE* a lot of gizmos out there these days. Which led me to my next thought. Maybe someone makes a battery that I could buy for each of these cameras and plug right into the camera (perhaps with the battery out next to the camera, or better yet inside the cockpit)... with a usb-c port that lets the signals pass through from a remote source. Does such a gizmo exist? Is this practical? Which led me to another thought. Maybe each camera can be powered by an individual battery next to the camera (or in the cockpit via a long cable)... and the ipad can preview the video coming from each camera in real time, as well as change settings on the camera, tell it to start and stop recording, change ISO, change resolution and frame rate, change other modes, etc. This would be rather spiffy if this works, and I guess WIFI does support multiple channels (hopefully including switching back and forth between the channels of remote devices, meaning the several Osmo Pocket cameras in this case). The wing and tail cameras will all be within 16 feet of the ipad (and the others in the cockpit much closer) so the communications distance probably isn't excessively great... I hope. The DJI Osmo Pocket cameras really seem like a great solution for my application... *assuming practical ways exist to make all the above happen.* Which is the question I pose for everyone here who understands these gizmos [and accessories]. The price for 5 cameras isn't cheap, but is still much cheaper than any other option I know of. And assuming the cameras can be pointed in any desired direction remotely from the cockpit, and the various track and pan features also work remotely, they are a lot more flexible than other solutions I know of that aren't huge, heavy and much more expensive. So, what's the verdict? Works? Doesn't work? I'm crazy. No, don't answer that last question. I've always been crazy, no question about that. All help appreciated.
Fortunately, the POCKET now does allow access to the PRO mode menus directly from it's LCD screen. It's best value, which you hint at, is (1) it's always with you, (2) it does not attract attention, and (3) the speed at which you can turn on and begin filming.
You need to footnote your [ SHOW MORE ] comments that the Firmware Update xx.o4.02 DOES make PRO settings added to the Pocket. As of January 27, 2019 you not longer need your phone connected AND the PRO selections don't change until YOU change them....
Does it not have an iris control for light? I'd prefer to use that over shutter speed for light. Or maybe just the ND filters until the zebras go away, so the shutter can remain the same. Just curious.
@@JevenDovey Yes, I watched the video....really good and informative, just was curious about at 08:15 talking about the zebras and the shutter is raised to lower the zebras, where I normally use the iris to do that so I keep the same shutter. Or, I could choose the appropriate ND filter. Cheers! Great channel!
Thank you for your inspiration, simple explanation that a "kindergarten" novice like myself gets stimulated about this passion for photography. I look forward to every video you put out.Bless You
Question.....Anyone have a suggestion on how to best match the pocket to a sony a6300 picture profile? I hate color grading... would like to match them "in camera" or as close as I can get.
You talk about mounting the Osmo Pocket on a pole and using the wifi module to transmit to your phone, but that is impossible. The wireless module can NOT be mounted. It has no way to be mounted without being modified by gluing something on. However there are a few wired options to do what you are talking about. First off you can plug in your phone to the bottom port using either usb-c to usb-c, usb-c to lightning or by buying a usb-c to usb-a adapter and plugging a normal lightning cable into it. The second method that would not take away the bottom port, so you can charge it at the same time also, would be to get a lightning or usb-c extension cable and use it to extend from the accessory port to your phone. I have used both methods and they have both worked but the extension from the accessory is nice since you can keep the pocket plugged into power if needed.
Excellent report here. Stock footage that is unique or difficult to get will set you apart...not recommending dangerous stuff - just places less traveled. Not everyone will hike the Grand Canyon, or through old growth forest. Or inner cities.
Hi Jeven, FPV mode on the Osmo pocket is a great feature if you're axis is going to exceed the horizon. If you're on a roller coaster for example. You'll actually find that any other mode doesn't record any form of usable footage. 👍
For the Pocket, I noticed that there's a lot of wide lens out there but none more "tele" lens. I guess that it's something that can't be done? I have Pocket 2, its ok but I would like the possibility to have tighter shots
Great video. My street photography setup is a Ricoh GRIII... what is your audio setup? Without an external mic what do you recommend for recording and sync?
Jeven, it would seem FPV mode is useful for literally pointing and shooting. In tilt lock mode, it's next to impossible to move the focus (objective, not image focus) especially if you're trying to shoot something not on the horizon.
Hey Jeven, great video! Content suggestion and something I need... help with editing workflow for this type of video. I see a ton of cuts in your work, which is awesome as you keep things on point, but how the heck do you do that from shooting to post? I literally have to watch all my clips (and in one session), front to back to find what I need to stay on subject. Do you have any suggestions about how to get what you want without storyboarding or scripting out the whole video or is that what you’re doing to get the final product? Thanks again. Very good material.
You can access pro setting without the app just push the PRO icon in the upper left. ;) But yes, no zebras or histogram given the small screen size. In my opinion, using the app (with a phone connected) defeats the whole purpose of the camera, to be small. Just my two cents...
This video gave me a better perspective about the Osmo Pocket than all the other reviews that just bash on the weakness of the camera. Very different ways of thinking compared between pros and prosumers. Thanks Jeven!
Great video. Why do you put your teal colored light on the same side as your key light and the orange light on the darker side? Shouldn't teal go in the shadows?
I found that in 4K50, rather than 4K60, the face track and active track work. This frame rate is more suitable for the UK vlogger with our 50Hz mains lighting causing flicker at 60fps. I use mine for all my vlogs, but am looking forward to the mike adapter coming out.
You can buy this cam $250 You can't shoot without sd card so $15 You can't shoot without nd filter so $50 Need to buy stand for mobile $2 Nee to buy extension cables $2 Need to buy wireless monitor $100 Then ? Best Go And Buy Any Higher End Mobile like iPhone 11 Samsung s20 vivo x6pro
I’ve just bought an Osmo pocket , and found the expansion kit on eBay. Can’t wait for it to arrive! I’m guna get the waterproof case, and extension rod soon and I reckon it’ll be an ideal little camera!
This might be a silly question, but can you still use footage in your vlogs that you plan to sell for stock? Or will you get strange copyright issues ?
Jeven Dovey Ok so I live in Chicago and have lots of footage of downtown, time lapse of different places , My question can I sell those clips with buildings and land marks like navy pier ? Hope you can answer this one, great tips and content.
YEY!! Awesome video to show how good is that Dji Osmo Camera! I would definitely use it to make some live music videos. Not intrusive for the audience, not intimidating for musicians, and so tiny that I no longer would have any excuse not to film any of my concerts!
Hey Jeven ,what do u think about using the Osmo action 2 to create stock footage? Do the same rules apply? And do u have video with the action 2 on the subject? I would love to get started, making stock footage with this camera, thanks peace and blessings.
This is one of your better vid's. I cant really pinpoint why or what it is specifically, but thats what makes a great video/movie/doc./picture what have you. That "thing" twhat indescribable factor, the X if you want to get all Gouda cheese about it, is what makes filming fun and why I have caught the bug. Good on yeah, and you basically pushed me over and going to get. And with my luck the next best thing will come out tom. haha Thanks again.
Dear Jeven, gr8 vlog ... please check the beginning of the vlog where your explaining about ND filters & comparing the two Motion Blur slides, the second slide requires to be corrected for the ‘Motion’ spelling best wishes brother 🙏🏻
of course he is not answering this question because its just clickbait to get views on youtube. ur are earning nearly nothing with stock footage. trust me
@@hawksam You can have the best description in the world but if it's buried underneath the mountain of other contributors the customer will never see it.
ke4uyp I’m not doubting the relevance of your comment, just the ignorance of it. You shouldn’t devalue someone who is willing to try and get into this business. It is what it is. Just because you’ve been doing it for long doesn’t mean anything.
If you're shooting stock footage, the camera has to be on manual focus. The footage shown here has a lot of focus hunting. That would be rejected by any of the stock sites.
Man im trying 2 talk my wife into getting one!!!! We have our 1st baby and probably last! And i want to get nice footage of her 1st everything!!!! I love how small it is and how smooth the footage looks!!! GREAT CHANNEL 👍😀👍
Would it good for getting B role through your windshield, while driving? Would be afraid of sticking it out of the sunroof resulting in lens getting scratched or the filters getting blown off. Thanks.
So with this djis limitations, would it not be better to have a GoPro with a gimbal attached? I’d purchase the dji if it didn’t have the limitations you’ve mentioned
I have many ND filter, have never used, get all points of THIS, why and what for but had no patience to try them out and play with them. Simply I forgot and been lazy, if I need increase or decrease. You was talking soooo CLEARLY about, now I got everything complete and found out, why did this happend to me: I got 2500 euro setup AND lagging 4K footage, even with 30 fps. THX a lot, I have to start to use all my filters I do have. PLEASE can you tell me, UNTIL you charge the Pocket, can you shoot? Can you record? I cannot sell my Osmo since I know, that this one have built-in battery. Which means, I have one hour or 1,5 to record. In the big Osmo Pro I exchange the battery as much time I want too. And not so expensive the battery itself. But in case I sell my pro, I have to buy than 2 Pocket to have 3 hours of record ability? Than I going with my power bank and charge it, on the same time. IF possible. Osmo Pro have an Adapter, to the Power Outlet, you can use it with 220 volts, unlimited. (SD Card long) Can I do this with the Pocket?
Bro you nailed it with this video! Pocket and gopro are not the same camera, and I'm glad you explained that. Thanks for helping us make good use of the pocket camera, looking forward to selling some of my pocket clips. When is DJI gonna give us cineD-log?

Wow, the connection between motion blur and frame rate, and how they create the cinematic effect was totally new for me, thanks for this awesome video!
The tip about shooting 4K 60 FPS is interesting. I have been mostly shooting stock video @ 24 FPS.
When were the most recent three times you sold stock footage that were recorded with your osmoPocket, and what were each of their prices?
ND filters is used to achieve lower F number, not to get slower shutter speed because aperture is more important then shutter speed (in video)
I don’t like how TH-camrs talk a lot of unnecessary things. So here is the Summary:
1) Get ND filters
2) Follow cinema standard
3) Activate Slow Follow mode
4) Do not use FPV
5) Use Zebras for overexposure check
6) Shoot video
7) Buy course???
Bolat Srymof that’s a really helpful summary, many thanks

You talk about mounting the Osmo Pocket on a pole and using the wifi module to transmit to your phone, but that is impossible. The wireless module can NOT be mounted. It has no way to be mounted without being modified by gluing something on. However there are a few wired options to do what you are talking about. First off you can plug in your phone to the bottom port using either usb-c to usb-c, usb-c to lightning or by buying a usb-c to usb-a adapter and plugging a normal lightning cable into it. The second method that would not take away the bottom port, so you can charge it at the same time also, would be to get a lightning or usb-c extension cable and use it to extend from the accessory port to your phone.
I have used both methods and they have both worked but the extension from the accessory is nice since you can keep the pocket plugged into power if needed.
Wow thanks for this informative video! 👌🏼
How does it compare to the iPhone video
DJI OSMO pocket can make you money! Post your ad on Craigslist to sell it!!
🤣 Haha
@@IAMSTULITTLE Or extremely accurate.
Excellent report here. Stock footage that is unique or difficult to get will set you apart...not recommending dangerous stuff - just places less traveled. Not everyone will hike the Grand Canyon, or through old growth forest. Or inner cities.
How do you get a light warm look during the day indoors, or evening indoors with the DJI Osmo pocket? Is there a special setting or filter?
Hi Jeven, FPV mode on the Osmo pocket is a great feature if you're axis is going to exceed the horizon. If you're on a roller coaster for example. You'll actually find that any other mode doesn't record any form of usable footage. 👍
Sure you can... especially with the focus shifting at 2:59 and 3:04... it's a fun little camera, but has to be improved
I need one of these with all those lenses
The ND filters are a must!
For the Pocket, I noticed that there's a lot of wide lens out there but none more "tele" lens. I guess that it's something that can't be done? I have Pocket 2, its ok but I would like the possibility to have tighter shots
What about the mobile 2? Is there i way i can make money on it? Is it better to just get the pocket and sell footage to make up for the difference?
Great video. My street photography setup is a Ricoh GRIII... what is your audio setup? Without an external mic what do you recommend for recording and sync?
One thing to mind is that these small filters do tend to scratch the front glass a bit.
Clear explanation for me as a newbie in vlogging, thank you..
I really want a dji pocket but the only thing that puts me off getting it is the audio quality. But it's still an amazing camera
Said the whole government name DJI OSMO Pocket 249 times. Definitely sponsored maybe lol
Jeven, it would seem FPV mode is useful for literally pointing and shooting. In tilt lock mode, it's next to impossible to move the focus (objective, not image focus) especially if you're trying to shoot something not on the horizon.
I see it as a narrative tool. Use the footage as a quick cutaway of the characters perspective.
Great vid. Thanks. When putting footage on you tube, how do I protect it? Thanks
What’s the best networks to sell stock video footage on?
Hey Jeven, great video! Content suggestion and something I need... help with editing workflow for this type of video. I see a ton of cuts in your work, which is awesome as you keep things on point, but how the heck do you do that from shooting to post? I literally have to watch all my clips (and in one session), front to back to find what I need to stay on subject. Do you have any suggestions about how to get what you want without storyboarding or scripting out the whole video or is that what you’re doing to get the final product? Thanks again. Very good material.
You can access pro setting without the app just push the PRO icon in the upper left. ;) But yes, no zebras or histogram given the small screen size. In my opinion, using the app (with a phone connected) defeats the whole purpose of the camera, to be small. Just my two cents...
Yesterday I got DJI Osmo it’s so wonderful
This video gave me a better perspective about the Osmo Pocket than all the other reviews that just bash on the weakness of the camera. Very different ways of thinking compared between pros and prosumers. Thanks Jeven!
Great video. Why do you put your teal colored light on the same side as your key light and the orange light on the darker side? Shouldn't teal go in the shadows?
Stock video and stock photo market is over flooded and the chance you make anything is rare.
Thx Jeven, this is great . What is the focus mode you are using ? AFS or AFC ?
What site do you sell stock video and pictures to?
I found that in 4K50, rather than 4K60, the face track and active track work. This frame rate is more suitable for the UK vlogger with our 50Hz mains lighting causing flicker at 60fps. I use mine for all my vlogs, but am looking forward to the mike adapter coming out.
Still hate that AFC pulse though. I find AFS works best for my needs
Man, it's been 2 years we make money on stocks using osmo pocket! Thankfully this video!!! Thanks a lot ! : D
You can buy this cam $250
You can't shoot without sd card so $15
You can't shoot without nd filter so $50
Need to buy stand for mobile $2
Nee to buy extension cables $2
Need to buy wireless monitor $100
Then ?
Best Go And Buy Any Higher End Mobile like iPhone 11 Samsung s20 vivo x6pro
I’ve just bought an Osmo pocket , and found the expansion kit on eBay.
Can’t wait for it to arrive!
I’m guna get the waterproof case, and extension rod soon and I reckon it’ll be an ideal little camera!
This might be a silly question, but can you still use footage in your vlogs that you plan to sell for stock? Or will you get strange copyright issues ?
Can you do a video on how to market ND filters instead of making money on stock footage? I prefer ND filters.
Jeven Dovey Ok so I live in Chicago and have lots of footage of downtown, time lapse of different places , My question can I sell those clips with buildings and land marks like navy pier ? Hope you can answer this one, great tips and content.
YEY!! Awesome video to show how good is that Dji Osmo Camera! I would definitely use it to make some live music videos. Not intrusive for the audience, not intimidating for musicians, and so tiny that I no longer would have any excuse not to film any of my concerts!
Pretty good video!!!! Now all i want is to buy an osmo
This camera is too noisy to stock footage, even with ISO 100. If you shot 4K then downscale to 1080p you might sell something.
Hey Jeven ,what do u think about using the Osmo action 2 to create stock footage? Do the same rules apply? And do u have video with the action 2 on the subject? I would love to get started, making stock footage with this camera, thanks peace and blessings.
love this camera, best one to always have handy
Yeah I love the osmo pocket
This is one of your better vid's. I cant really pinpoint why or what it is specifically, but thats what makes a great video/movie/doc./picture what have you. That "thing" twhat indescribable factor, the X if you want to get all Gouda cheese about it, is what makes filming fun and why I have caught the bug. Good on yeah, and you basically pushed me over and going to get. And with my luck the next best thing will come out tom. haha
Thanks again.
Dear Jeven, gr8 vlog ... please check the beginning of the vlog where your explaining about ND filters & comparing the two Motion Blur slides, the second slide requires to be corrected for the ‘Motion’ spelling best wishes brother 🙏🏻
Great advice here, Jeven! Thanks for all you do to help us all get in the game.
Thanks for creating this video. V helpful. Great shots of an LA landscape British rarely see. Nice one from Oxfordshire, England 🏴
Glad you enjoyed it
Will the FAA regulate how long your pole can be? Otherwise good alternative to drones.
interesting. can you tell roughly how many videos you already uploaded as stock and how much you earn avg. a month with it?
Armin Hirmer of course not.
$0 bro, its just clickbait to make money off TH-cam views.. Just like that Peter M. and the loudmouth Gary V...
of course he is not answering this question because its just clickbait to get views on youtube. ur are earning nearly nothing with stock footage. trust me
Negativity live an well on the youtubes...
Jeven when are you coming to the Uk ? Mate ur badass… ur images and vids are excellent.. keep up the excellent work..
That's a great jacket at 13:04.. what brand is it please? Thanks for the info on the osmo and stock footage. I've bookmarked it !
Did it launch without pro mode on the camera? Definitely has it now
2:48s Finally starts to talk about how you can make money using this camera.
The stock video and stock photo business is oversaturated with content hundreds of thousands of contributors and only a few hundred customers.
buyers will come... like real estate... but the descriptions have to be better
@@hawksam You can have the best description in the world but if it's buried underneath the mountain of other contributors the customer will never see it.
It’s like everything else... so is it just easier to not try? That makes sense. 🙄
@@2easydesigns I have been in the stock photo business for 15 years I know.
ke4uyp I’m not doubting the relevance of your comment, just the ignorance of it. You shouldn’t devalue someone who is willing to try and get into this business. It is what it is. Just because you’ve been doing it for long doesn’t mean anything.
You can set up your PRO settings with out the phone...
Damn that monitor
In your opinion, which camera is better for shooting stock footage? Gopro 8 or Osmo pocket? kindly reply. thanks
I didn’t even think that this camera would even be any good. Now I need one for vlogging
It has pro settings now for anyone who's wondering, so no need for ur phone anymore :)
What about the FIMI PALM 3-Axis 4K HD GH3 Handheld Gimbal Camera Stabilizer 128° Wide Angle
?
Thats a pretty dope hat what brand is that?
Great video Jeven ! All the best from Italy.
When you say "make a lot of money selling stock footage," what is '...lot of money... .' to you? Thanks, Chuck
If you're shooting stock footage, the camera has to be on manual focus. The footage shown here has a lot of focus hunting. That would be rejected by any of the stock sites.
Man im trying 2 talk my wife into getting one!!!! We have our 1st baby and probably last! And i want to get nice footage of her 1st everything!!!! I love how small it is and how smooth the footage looks!!!
GREAT CHANNEL
👍😀👍
Would it good for getting B role through your windshield, while driving? Would be afraid of sticking it out of the sunroof resulting in lens getting scratched or the filters getting blown off. Thanks.
Never mind!😂 just bought your course.🤙🏻
Would a blimp or “dead cat’ work on the Osmo Pocket to reduce the wind noise?
I have the wireless stand for the Osmo Pocket, and with it, it does great slider shots.
So with this djis limitations, would it not be better to have a GoPro with a gimbal attached? I’d purchase the dji if it didn’t have the limitations you’ve mentioned
Which one I should take? "DJI Osmo Pocket" or "Gopro hero7/8" for travel video?
I have many ND filter, have never used, get all points of THIS, why and what for but had no patience to try them out and play with them. Simply I forgot and been lazy, if I need increase or decrease. You was talking soooo CLEARLY about, now I got everything complete and found out, why did this happend to me: I got 2500 euro setup AND lagging 4K footage, even with 30 fps. THX a lot, I have to start to use all my filters I do have.
PLEASE can you tell me, UNTIL you charge the Pocket, can you shoot? Can you record? I cannot sell my Osmo since I know, that this one have built-in battery. Which means, I have one hour or 1,5 to record. In the big Osmo Pro I exchange the battery as much time I want too. And not so expensive the battery itself. But in case I sell my pro, I have to buy than 2 Pocket to have 3 hours of record ability? Than I going with my power bank and charge it, on the same time. IF possible. Osmo Pro have an Adapter, to the Power Outlet, you can use it with 220 volts, unlimited. (SD Card long) Can I do this with the Pocket?
Bro you nailed it with this video! Pocket and gopro are not the same camera, and I'm glad you explained that. Thanks for helping us make good use of the pocket camera, looking forward to selling some of my pocket clips. When is DJI gonna give us cineD-log?
Apparently the cined-log release date is today.
Always wanted to play with this. Great video. Now need to figure out how to put it on my service dog for POV shots
If you always shoot in 60fps, how do you convert the video to 30/24 fps without it slowing down the footage? thanks!
