✅ I just published the UPDATE 🎞 video on the DJI POCKET 2 COMBO VERSION REVIEW VIDEO that I made earlier this year. In this update 🎦 video I'll talk you through the DJI firmware update and I'll try to answer a lot of the questions and comments you ❤️ made. And I'll share my latest thoughts after one year outdoor 🏔 life with MY Pocket 2. Here is the 🔗link to that update video: th-cam.com/video/VkxcddUmTMg/w-d-xo.html
A very nice review and demonstration of the kit my lovely wife just got me for my 69th birthday. I am slightly terrified to use it so videos like yours are giving me couragement to get out there and make slow-mo footage out of the local haggis! Much appreciated, subbed and liked of course. Greetings from Scotland.
Congratulations Terry 🍰. Sorry for my late reply but I was a bit occupied with other stuff. I hope you will like the P2 since it is a nice present to get. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Hi Epic, No.. . I did it in the past a few times but I always bothers me with others. It is a very thin line between what works and what doesn't. 😄 Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
I can't believe why this channel don't have much subscribers. This man really knows what he's talking about, and is very passionate about his reviews and helping his viewers decide for themselves. Because of this, I'm getting the DJI Combo this week@ Thank you, man! Stay safe!
I used to own a Pocket v1, it worked fine, I do mainly railway videos and it was whilst on a local train to Birmingham ( UK ) from home that I thought it would be good to leave it on the table in front of me convinicing myself at the same time that if I reported it to the railway company as a lost camera, it would if by magic get returned to me or they would phone me to collect it, but alas, unlike happy movies, this did not have a happy ending, some lucky sod got a free camera. so with that in mind, I am in the market to purchase a replacement, so I thought let's have a look at a Pocket 2 Creative Combo,, having looked at a few reviews this past week, this is by far the best and most comprehensive review I have found, so Outdoor Guru, a big thank you, you have answered all my questions ....except one......Does it come in pink?
Great review! I just got my Pocket 2 a week ago and look forward to using it on many outdoor excursions. Just two notes: If you look at the manual, the camera is supposed to be stored with the power button downward in the case, opposite to where you would accidentally touch it. Also, the wireless mic is meant to be stored at the top of the case, with the mic clip slid onto the square opening at the top of the case.
Hi CW, Thank your for the compliment! Yes, I know. But.... 1) With the on/off button facing inside the SD card slot is exposed with the risk dirt getting in there. I don't follow the manual in that respect because it is a stupid (not outdoor) way of thinking. Better an empty battery 😉. 2) It makes the whole system needlessly longer and then it does not fit that easy in the pockets of my pants anymore. Also I need to take the wind protector of the every time. Storing this way in a backpack is fine by the way. Have fun with your P2 and send me a clip if you like. I am always curious! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Those are very good points, especially when you consider the outdoors. I didn’t take into consideration the micro-SD card slot! You’re right! Perhaps another solution is to provide a rubber cover for the SD card slot? My one wish for the Pocket is better water resistance. I know it’s too much to ask, but that would make it a perfect outdoor camera. I know there’s a waterproof cover, but it’s cumbersome for hiking and other outdoor pursuits. I debated with myself for a long time whether I should get the Pocket 2 or the GoPro 9. I think the Pocket 2 was a good choice, though. By the way, I’ve been watching your channel since you did that wonderful review of the Rab Alpha jacket (can’t remember its name offhand). I thought it was one of the best reviews of a piece of gear that I’d seen, and bought the jacket from your review. Thanks!
With a rubber cover it would not slide that easy in my pocket 😆 but that would make a difference in rain. The waterproof casing is rather unpractical.... In heavy rain clingfilm (is that the word) does wonders. That would be the Rab Alpha Flux jacket . I still have the red one and bought last year a next gen bleu one. I love them. maybe I should start with a affiliate link or a small webshop with my personal favs... I sell quite a lot of Rabs and red Lundhags pants for them just by wearing them.
I don't.... when it rains a bit.... I shoot. When it is a downpour I just don't shoot because it's not worth risking my gear. Than I use my iPhone or a GoPro or DJI OSMO Action. Ok.... sometimes I use cling foil.
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.
Hi Folks, I get two remarks a lot on the review: The first is about the on/off button and that I hit it quite often by accident. The second is about the microphone that can be attached to to case. In short: 1) I don't like the button on the inside since that will expose the SD card slot to dirt, water etc. 2) I know, but it will get bigger and it does not fit and slide in my pocket that easy anymore ;). One extra remark: be careful with putting the small parts and the wide lens in de casing... I've noticed now after a while that the fit is not that snug anymore. I retrieved everything so far and now I bring them in a small bag from the jewel shop. Cheers, Gijs
After unboxing mine I immediately put all into a sandwich box. I may use your tip and put the small items into a little bag, the 'lenses' (I intend buying a cross polarising filter an light pollution filter) separately bagged from anything else to avoid scratches.
I just bought one pocket 2. And, the first instruction i read about putting it in its sleeve is that we should keep the SD card side up. So, if you do it then the power button is inside the sleeve. This way one can't accidentally press it, because to do it you need to take it out.
Absolutely great review. Thanks! Agree about the camera turning on while putting it back into the case. Also, it’s hard to pull it off the case without a fear of breaking it.
VERY GOOD and very practical review. After being on the fence with this item from watching about 8 other Pocket 2 user reviews it was your review and excellent narrative usefulness that pushed me into pulling the trigger on the Combo package. Thanks!
I can honestly say that this is one of the best (if not the best) review on any product I’ve ever seen. I’ve already purchased the P2 but if I hadn’t I would have!
Many thanks for such a great review. Your reviews are without question the most thorough and best on TH-cam. Not only are they very well presented but the content is superb. If only other reviews were to your standard. You give people confidence to buy the right equipment. Cheers my friend :)
A Really full and comprehensive review - Enough of every facet of the device - Thanks for your content and will be keeping tabs on your channel in the future - Thanks again - Oh and Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe 👍😁
Hi Haidar, Some noise will be there with bad weather and low light condition, but.....I mostly shoot on auto mode and I am pretty happy with what I get. maybe share some of your settings? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews thanks for the answer🥰 I'm using auto settings too, the only thing I was doing is shooting with battery saver mode I will try quality mode tomorrow and see if there will be some changes, I also noticed Lower fps like 4k 24 is much better for low light, I really like your content though,wish you all the best♥️
Very nice review - convinced me that this is a great camera for hiking & backpacking instead of carrying my GoPro H9 AND a Sony compact mirrorless camera. With the Pocket 2, you have all-in-one high-quality photo & video content! I bought the 'Creator Combo' package too. Thank you.
Thank you for a great review, we use the osmo pocket 2 also for our outdoor life in Denmark together with our DJI magic mini. You got a very nice way of explaining the features and the use in real life.
I really like your in-depth review. I've watched several other videos and they just didn't really do much for me. After watching yours, I was like, "Why haven't I seen this guy before?" So, now I have subscribed. Thank you so much!
Was thinking of buying the Pocket 2 and came across your review. Very well done and thought out review. Because of your thorough review I think I’m going to get it. And you have a new subscriber. Thanks again!
Outstanding review. Very much appreciate your complete and detailed review. I was debating internally which to purchase, DJI Pocket 2 or GoPro Hero 9… after watching your review, hands down, the DJI Pocket 2 Creators package. Thank-You
Such a great review 👏 I was thinking of getting one and now I'm definitely getting one. You have answered all my questions and done it in such a humble manner. Thank you for the review and you have a new subscriber.
Nice sharing of this Pocket 2 review. I plan to buy also but I heard a news that they will release a new Pocket 3 either end of year or early next year. But anyway nice review and kudos.
Hi, Yes a Pocket 3 is in the pipeline... so I have seen on some website but the release dates... they are all passed and it is not there yet. So... I am also waiting for it 😁. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Excellent review, based on your detailed review and real-world use, I was thinking of getting the Go Pro 10, but this seems to be a better fit for my use. I'm going to pick up the combo package this weekend.
What a cracking review this is. Really enjoyed it. Very tempted to buy one. Is it waterproof at all. This review is very well presented and shows all the functionality I would need. Excellent
Hi Kevin, Thank you!!! I did quite some shooting in the rain and yes, it is pretty waterproof if you are aware of the fact that it is not rated waterproof. That is why I did not put it in the video because I don't want people to think otherwise. IPX4 would be nice though for the next gen. DJI does have a waterproof casing for the P2. Thanks again for acknowledging my work 😀. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Superb Product and Superb Test. A Premium Compact Digital Camera I use has a 1/1.7" sensor as well. Next size is e.g. 2/3" Sensors. That's usual for bigger Bridge cameras. The Combo is also the base for using Dji 2 together with a Smartphone. Thanks fot the time you spend for the production of this Superb Test/Reviews.
Well done. A great review, I was on the fence about investing this amount of money because I bought the OSMO when it came out and over time it became a pain in the ass to use. I am going to buy this one soon. Thank you.
Hi Siddhartha, Thank you for the kind words. I plan to upload an update on the P2 next week so stay tuned 🙏. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Gijs, excellent review and far more informative than the DJI videos! I only wish I’d watched it before I purchased the pocket 2 alone and not the combo version!
Hi Gijs, at first I thought what a long video to watch. But in the end I finished watching the entire video. Good review because you also take the time to explain things. Also well filmed and also the outdoor shots where you show the setting that you are showing with your Pocket 2 at that moment. I still doubt whether I want this camera gadget with it because my current GoPro's can take a bit more of a beating. But the P2 offers more other nice possibilities that the GoPro's do not have. Thanks for creating and sharing this review. And the Utrechtse Baan always remains a great location for slow shutter speed photography and time or hyperlapses. I've been driving here almost daily for 40 years. 🆒🎥🎬👌👍🙏
Hi TP, What a super comment🙏. I don't mind long as long as I get the message and other will think different: quick and dirty (but hardly info...) I am wondering if you will buy it in the end. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Wow wow wow!!! This video is fantastic, and you have convinced me that this is the camera for me. It will compliment my DJI Mini 2 perfectly, whereas the GoPro Hero 4 I have, is not the ideal camera to couple up with my drone. Plus the GoPro has very little battery time compared to the Pocket 2. Now. Where did I put my wallet? …….. 😉
wow... this is such a wonderful and thorough review. Thank you very much Gijs, for taking the time to create this review, which TH-cam recommended to me after I looked at another review. I'm considering buying it after my son, who's a professional photographer bought one and recommended that i got one myself for vlogging in general. Your review made me interested in this just as a camera in general, as I had other cameras that i didn't end up using because they're too bulky and a hassle to carry and operate. this feels like a perfect camera for me and the sound factor is very important for me as I mostly use it for speaking. You presented it mostly as an outdoor device. What is your opinion of DJI Pocket 2 as a vlogging device? Would love to hear your comment on this. And having used it for quite some time now, is there any updated reviews you have on DJI P2? Looking forward to your reply... Greetings from Ubud, Bali... Thanks so much...
Hi Miranda, thanks for your sweet comment. I did not do an update yet and I now I should. Time is not in my favor at the moment and the last months I have been trying hard to earn some money with presentations, writing articles and doing third party videos. My P2 is still doing what it should do. After the firmware update a while ago switching on the P2 results in a camera facing towards me. I don't like it but starting the P2 with the button next to the record button the camera faces away from me. Switch it off with the normal on/off button. What I also noticed is that the small thingies in the protection case have to tendency to fall out by now so take care with is. One funny thing: It can't do a timelapse when I turn the P2 in horizontal position. I tried to do a timelapse of watchface on the ground and it did not work. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Excellent review! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. In the mic demo, I was really surprised how good the "selfie" mode sounded, even without an external mic. Now the question is do I want the Pocket 2, or wait another ~2 months to see what the Pocket 3 might have in store? Decisions, decisions... Again, thank you for a stellar review.
Hi John, Thanks for the kind words. P2 or wat for the P3.... I have seen the release date of the P3 been going forward a few times by now. Maybe a refurbished P2 from DJI? It is a bit cheaper. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thanks for the tips and advice. RAMBO didn't have these many gadgets lol. You have some items in your kit. Where do you get your selfie stick from ? To use on the Pocket 2 ?
Hi John, Thank you for the kind words and Rambo... Love the first one! Selfie stick... I don't have one. I use a Joby➡ kit.co/Outdoorguru/video-gear/joby-jb01507-gorilla and I made a fishing rod into a selfie stick of 4 meters😃. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Hi! Greetings from Brazil. I purchased this camera based upon your review - and I'm really glad with it! :) But, as newbie, I have some questions:, and I believe you may help me: 1) you said that it's possible to choose which microphone to use, from the 04 it has, but I did not find it on the manual, so I'm still lost how to set it up. It maybe very useful in a windy weather, for example, how do I choose which one I want to use? 2) Another question is, how to take RAW pictures with this camera? All I can shoot is JPG, and I'd love to shoot in RAW mode, as I prefer to colour grading my own pictures as I would like to. Could you help me out with those questions? Many thanks!
HI .. from yesterday i am finding your this video. Finally got it for active tracking feature.. i also bought it for this feature. Anyway this to u and i thumb up on your sub . THANKS TO U
Very thorough review and thanks for the useful use cases. One question though, what is the difference if you use your phone as the camera, even with a gimbal? Wouldn’t it be less thing to carry around?
Hi David, You are welcome. iPhone and gimbal instead of the P2? No. It is not less since a good gimbal for a iPhone (smartphone) is a bit bigger and I still have to set it up. I love the simplicity of the P2. I got an update on the P2 in the making so stay tuned. Should be online somewhere these days. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thank you, that was one very well-presented tutorial and review. My Pocket 2 only arrived yesterday, so I have been checking out some videos today for tips and tricks, although I already own an Osmo Action, Mavic Pro, and Mini 2, so I am fairly familiar with the DJI apps and settings. Your video is by far the best and most informative I have viewed. I primarily purchased the Pocket 2 because of its size and weight as I intend on making it my go-to camera when out hiking and wild camping. Subbed as I am looking forward to watching some more of your videos. ATB, Dave 👍
Gijs bedankt voor deze complete review. Wij rijden motorfiets en hebben daar helm camera's voor van Sony ivm met goede beeld stabilisatie. We proberen nu wat meer op te nemen dan alleen rijden en doen dat nu met de helm op. Maar we willen toch wat meer opnemen alsook wandelen of fietsen. Ik was al een tijdje aan het kijken naar de pocket 2. Maar wat jij nu laat zien zo wil ik hem ook gaan gebruiken en ben ik overtuigd dat ik hem veel zal gebruiken. Hij past in mijn tantes en dus altijd bij de hand . Nogmaals dank ook aan je vrouw voor dit complete review. Gr Peet en Janny
Hi Peet en Janny, Dank voor de mooie woorden. Motoren... leuk. Ik begon mijn leven als tester bij ProMotor van de ANWB (toen nog). Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Very good review. Note that you can put the P2 in its case with the button facing down, so it won't be accidentally pressed. However, this only works if you store it without the wide angle or filter (ND, CPL, etc) attached, because with lens or filter attached, the gimble will shut off with the lens facing out (on the same side as the on/off button), instead of facing in where it is protected. Also, while I have not had the wide angle lens fall out of the case, the iphone/android phone connectors very easily fall out (especially if both are stored in the case), so be careful of that and perhaps buy an extra (just in case) . Finally, with the new firmware update, we can now also turn on the camera facing forward by pressing the button to the right of the record button (in case you don't want starting in selfie mode). This turns it on very fast so you can quickly capture something happening in front of you.
Hi Torinsall, Thank you for the nice remarks and the additions. I should do an update video.... Yes, it happend to me too with the connector by now. I take them with me in a small soft bag from the jewelry store. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

Hi Nazir, Thank you for the very kind words. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers and greetings from The Netherlands, Gijs
Nice video - Very helpful. I was confused by your concern about the on button and the case. You can just face the button inward - it goes both ways.
Hi David, Well.... button inwards means sd card slot exposed to dirt and weather..... Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thank you for a great review, we use the osmo pocket 2 also for our outdoor life in Denmark together with our DJI magic mini. You got a very nice way of explaining the features and the use in real life.
Hi Kim, You make me blush BIG TIME 😊🙏! Do you use it private or do you have a channel? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
I really like your in-depth review. I've watched several other videos and they just didn't really do much for me. After watching yours, I was like, "Why haven't I seen this guy before?" So, now I have subscribed. Thank you so much!
You are too kind 😊 and thanks for the kind words and the sub. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Explained in much detail than most that i’ve seen thus far. Keep it up!

Outstanding review. Very much appreciate your complete and detailed review. I was debating internally which to purchase, DJI Pocket 2 or GoPro Hero 9… after watching your review, hands down, the DJI Pocket 2 Creators package. Thank-You
You are welcome PHS 🙏. Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Just bought the dji pocket 2. Looking forward to seeing how it works.
Enjoy the P2! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Such a great review 👏 I was thinking of getting one and now I'm definitely getting one. You have answered all my questions and done it in such a humble manner. Thank you for the review and you have a new subscriber.
Jihaaaa!🥳. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Very good review. I am looking at getting one of these and you convinced me how good it really is. Thanks a lot.👏👏
Thanks Colin, Have fun with the Pocket 2. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Nice sharing of this Pocket 2 review. I plan to buy also but I heard a news that they will release a new Pocket 3 either end of year or early next year. But anyway nice review and kudos.
Hi, Yes a Pocket 3 is in the pipeline... so I have seen on some website but the release dates... they are all passed and it is not there yet. So... I am also waiting for it 😁. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Excellent review, based on your detailed review and real-world use, I was thinking of getting the Go Pro 10, but this seems to be a better fit for my use. I'm going to pick up the combo package this weekend.
Very cool. I can't wait until Black Friday arrives. 😊😁😁😁😂
Hi Borin, 🙏 thanks for the nice words. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
This video is so well done, very helpful! Thank you. Have you ever mounted the camera on your head? I'm thinking of buying one for our dental school.
Thank you for the kind words Rog. No I did not mounted it on my head, would be funny though 😂 Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great one.. aroma from heaven
Hi Bardissan, Thanks for the compliment🙏. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
What a cracking review this is. Really enjoyed it. Very tempted to buy one. Is it waterproof at all.
This review is very well presented and shows all the functionality I would need. Excellent
Hi Kevin, Thank you!!! I did quite some shooting in the rain and yes, it is pretty waterproof if you are aware of the fact that it is not rated waterproof. That is why I did not put it in the video because I don't want people to think otherwise. IPX4 would be nice though for the next gen. DJI does have a waterproof casing for the P2. Thanks again for acknowledging my work 😀. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews thanks for this. Will check it out. Good review
Absolutely great video review. for me it's very important the sound quality with external microphones and you test it very well. Thanks a lot!!
Thanks for the lovely comment Tato 🙏! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Your video was very interesting and it has made up my mind about buying this product, thanks
You are welcome Paul.Happy to be of assistance. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thank you for taking the time to do this excellent review. You’ve greatly helped me.
Another reviewer, very well done, ended up rating the pocket osmo the best among other action cameras. thanks for your review.
Hi PF, You are welcome! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great review.. planning to buy the pocket 2 creator combo
Thank you 🙏Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Superb Product and Superb Test.
A Premium Compact Digital Camera I use has a 1/1.7" sensor as well.
Next size is e.g. 2/3" Sensors. That's usual for bigger Bridge cameras.
The Combo is also the base for using Dji 2 together with a Smartphone.
Thanks fot the time you spend for the production of this Superb Test/Reviews.
😘👍😉 Thank you espacesX! Sweet that you realize how much time this takes🙏. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Yes
Great summary of the P2 features. Thank you.
To solve the power button issue is it possible to place the P2 in its case the other direction?
Yes that is possible, but it leaves the sd-card slot exposed to dirt.... Cheers, Gijs
Well done. A great review, I was on the fence about investing this amount of money because I bought the OSMO when it came out and over time it became a pain in the ass to use. I am going to buy this one soon. Thank you.
Fantastic review Sir. I am buying one tomorrow. God bless
Thanks Andrew! Have fun with your P2😀. Cheers, Gijs
What a great review thank you im saving up for this so hopefully won't be long till I get it😁👍
Why not just buy it with a credit card 💳 and pay for it later. When I want something, I don’t wait, I get it and that’s it.
@@anthonyryan7285 I have thought about that thanks but it will end up costing more 😁👍
Love the t-shirt. Great review.
Haha, Big smile on my face Hilo 😄. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

Hi Siddhartha, Thank you for the kind words. I plan to upload an update on the P2 next week so stay tuned 🙏. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Nice review. Just bought the combo yesterday
Haven fun with shooting👍. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thank you Sir for this in-depth review of the creator combo. I am ready to set up my new toy now.
Thanks you for the friendly remarks 👍🙏Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe Maria! Cheers, Gijs
Excellent tutorial video. Bravo.
Thanks Adam! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
thank you for your excellent video
Gijs, excellent review and far more informative than the DJI videos! I only wish I’d watched it before I purchased the pocket 2 alone and not the combo version!
Hi Gijs, at first I thought what a long video to watch. But in the end I finished watching the entire video. Good review because you also take the time to explain things. Also well filmed and also the outdoor shots where you show the setting that you are showing with your Pocket 2 at that moment. I still doubt whether I want this camera gadget with it because my current GoPro's can take a bit more of a beating. But the P2 offers more other nice possibilities that the GoPro's do not have. Thanks for creating and sharing this review. And the Utrechtse Baan always remains a great location for slow shutter speed photography and time or hyperlapses. I've been driving here almost daily for 40 years. 🆒🎥🎬👌👍🙏
Hi TP, What a super comment🙏. I don't mind long as long as I get the message and other will think different: quick and dirty (but hardly info...) I am wondering if you will buy it in the end. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Very good and practical review, thank you 🙏 I was considering pocket 2 or GoPro 9 but I am now more convinced to first option
Hi Rodzinka, Thanks for the compliment🙏. Let me know if the P2 works for you. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thanks for the video. Very informative
Thanks for the comment😉. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Wow wow wow!!! This video is fantastic, and you have convinced me that this is the camera for me. It will compliment my DJI Mini 2 perfectly, whereas the GoPro Hero 4 I have, is not the ideal camera to couple up with my drone. Plus the GoPro has very little battery time compared to the Pocket 2. Now. Where did I put my wallet? …….. 😉
I don't know where you put your wallet 🙃😆👍. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
This review made me subscribed. This device is awesome.
Hi SF, Thanks for the sub🙏. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thank you for the super comprehensive video. Can we attach an external mic to this Pocket 2 without the Do-it-all handle?
Hi Alfred, Thanks for the kind words! No you can't. Sorry. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
wow... this is such a wonderful and thorough review. Thank you very much Gijs, for taking the time to create this review, which TH-cam recommended to me after I looked at another review. I'm considering buying it after my son, who's a professional photographer bought one and recommended that i got one myself for vlogging in general. Your review made me interested in this just as a camera in general, as I had other cameras that i didn't end up using because they're too bulky and a hassle to carry and operate. this feels like a perfect camera for me and the sound factor is very important for me as I mostly use it for speaking. You presented it mostly as an outdoor device. What is your opinion of DJI Pocket 2 as a vlogging device? Would love to hear your comment on this. And having used it for quite some time now, is there any updated reviews you have on DJI P2? Looking forward to your reply... Greetings from Ubud, Bali... Thanks so much...
Hi Miranda, thanks for your sweet comment. I did not do an update yet and I now I should. Time is not in my favor at the moment and the last months I have been trying hard to earn some money with presentations, writing articles and doing third party videos. My P2 is still doing what it should do. After the firmware update a while ago switching on the P2 results in a camera facing towards me. I don't like it but starting the P2 with the button next to the record button the camera faces away from me. Switch it off with the normal on/off button. What I also noticed is that the small thingies in the protection case have to tendency to fall out by now so take care with is. One funny thing: It can't do a timelapse when I turn the P2 in horizontal position. I tried to do a timelapse of watchface on the ground and it did not work. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Excellent review! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. In the mic demo, I was really surprised how good the "selfie" mode sounded, even without an external mic. Now the question is do I want the Pocket 2, or wait another ~2 months to see what the Pocket 3 might have in store? Decisions, decisions...
Again, thank you for a stellar review.
Hi John, Thanks for the kind words. P2 or wat for the P3.... I have seen the release date of the P3 been going forward a few times by now. Maybe a refurbished P2 from DJI? It is a bit cheaper. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great video, thank you.Can you tell me which selfie stick /tripod you are using with the DJI Pocket 2 ? Thank you so much and take care.
Hi Piet, I use a selfmade one and this one: kit.co/Outdoorguru/video-gear/joby-jb01507-gorilla Cheers, Gijs
Thanks for the tips and advice. RAMBO didn't have these many gadgets lol. You have some items in your kit. Where do you get your selfie stick from ? To use on the Pocket 2 ?
Hi John, Thank you for the kind words and Rambo... Love the first one! Selfie stick... I don't have one. I use a Joby➡ kit.co/Outdoorguru/video-gear/joby-jb01507-gorilla and I made a fishing rod into a selfie stick of 4 meters😃. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Hi! Greetings from Brazil. I purchased this camera based upon your review - and I'm really glad with it! :) But, as newbie, I have some questions:, and I believe you may help me: 1) you said that it's possible to choose which microphone to use, from the 04 it has, but I did not find it on the manual, so I'm still lost how to set it up. It maybe very useful in a windy weather, for example, how do I choose which one I want to use? 2) Another question is, how to take RAW pictures with this camera? All I can shoot is JPG, and I'd love to shoot in RAW mode, as I prefer to colour grading my own pictures as I would like to. Could you help me out with those questions? Many thanks!
Great video going ta buy it now thanks
Hi BBT,
Thank you for the very kind words.

HI .. from yesterday i am finding your this video. Finally got it for active tracking feature.. i also bought it for this feature. Anyway this to u and i thumb up on your sub . THANKS TO U
Thanks to you 2! Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great review... I loved the way you explained in a crystal clear manner and specific points which a would-be-buyer would like to know.
Thank you so much! 🙏 Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Very thorough review and thanks for the useful use cases. One question though, what is the difference if you use your phone as the camera, even with a gimbal? Wouldn’t it be less thing to carry around?
Hi David,
You are welcome.
iPhone and gimbal instead of the P2? No. It is not less since a good gimbal for a iPhone (smartphone) is a bit bigger and I still have to set it up. I love the simplicity of the P2.
I got an update on the P2 in the making so stay tuned. Should be online somewhere these days.
Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe!
Cheers, Gijs
Thank you, that was one very well-presented tutorial and review. My Pocket 2 only arrived yesterday, so I have been checking out some videos today for tips and tricks, although I already own an Osmo Action, Mavic Pro, and Mini 2, so I am fairly familiar with the DJI apps and settings. Your video is by far the best and most informative I have viewed. I primarily purchased the Pocket 2 because of its size and weight as I intend on making it my go-to camera when out hiking and wild camping. Subbed as I am looking forward to watching some more of your videos.
ATB, Dave 👍
Thank you so much Dave! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Excellent! Thanks. Very informative.
Thanks again Borgia! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
enjoyed your review thank you
The most detailed video! Thank you so much!
Thank you Ly! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Gijs bedankt voor deze complete review. Wij rijden motorfiets en hebben daar helm camera's voor van Sony ivm met goede beeld stabilisatie. We proberen nu wat meer op te nemen dan alleen rijden en doen dat nu met de helm op. Maar we willen toch wat meer opnemen alsook wandelen of fietsen. Ik was al een tijdje aan het kijken naar de pocket 2. Maar wat jij nu laat zien zo wil ik hem ook gaan gebruiken en ben ik overtuigd dat ik hem veel zal gebruiken. Hij past in mijn tantes en dus altijd bij de hand . Nogmaals dank ook aan je vrouw voor dit complete review. Gr Peet en Janny
Hi Peet en Janny, Dank voor de mooie woorden. Motoren... leuk. Ik begon mijn leven als tester bij ProMotor van de ANWB (toen nog). Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Very good review.
Note that you can put the P2 in its case with the button facing down, so it won't be accidentally pressed. However, this only works if you store it without the wide angle or filter (ND, CPL, etc) attached, because with lens or filter attached, the gimble will shut off with the lens facing out (on the same side as the on/off button), instead of facing in where it is protected.
Also, while I have not had the wide angle lens fall out of the case, the iphone/android phone connectors very easily fall out (especially if both are stored in the case), so be careful of that and perhaps buy an extra (just in case) .
Finally, with the new firmware update, we can now also turn on the camera facing forward by pressing the button to the right of the record button (in case you don't want starting in selfie mode). This turns it on very fast so you can quickly capture something happening in front of you.
Hi Torinsall, Thank you for the nice remarks and the additions. I should do an update video.... Yes, it happend to me too with the connector by now. I take them with me in a small soft bag from the jewelry store. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great review :) .. May i ask how long the Batterie life is from the microphon ? 🙂
Hi Reedeema, I plan to upload an update on the P2 next week and I'll discuss this too. So stay tuned 🙏. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Nice video. Will get the dji 2 soon.
Hi Ignatius, When you do: have fun with it! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
