DJI Osmo Pocket - Handheld 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer with integrated Camera 12 MP 1/2.3” CMOS 4K60 Video, for YouTube, TikTok, Video Vlog, Streamlabs, Attachable to Smartphone, Android, iPhone, Black

EDIT 2/18:So with their new firmware you can now edit Pro settings right on the Pocket itself! Very useful as you don't have to plug in your phone anymore. They also added a Cinema Color Profile which mutes the colors a bit so you can do color correction later in software. I'm bumping it to 5 stars as this is the perfect device for a amateur user like me. Every update just makes the device even better!So it's a new year and I wanted to try my hand at video making. I have no experience at all except from using a phone camera. My first thought was this is the perfect size in my hands. It's also very light and holding it does not fatigue my hands at all. The mechanical gimbal is very cool. It has three modes: Follow, First Person, and Tilt Lock.The touchscreen on the device is very responsive. Easy to use swipes and taps, you can select different features pretty quickly. The phone attachment is very iPhone and USB-C phones only right now. I believe they are working on a update for micro-usb phones. When you plug in the phone you get access to more robust options like manual adjustments to ISO and frame rates. Also when you get your right setting and unplug the phone, the settings stay on. The only hinder is that you have to plug the phone back in to change it again. When you plug in the phone I would recommend using two hands to operate. The only thing that would worry me is the little lightning connector holding up my big iPhone will snap.You can easily plug in to a power bank and film way longer. Right now the battery life is good, getting about 2 hour shooting time. It comes with USB-C wire and the phone connectors for iPhone and USB-C. Also a pretty good hard plastic case that protects your device. There are many accessories coming so stay tuned for those. Also don't worry about the touching the gimbal itself. It's pretty sturdy and it was meant to be manually moved around to adjust the tilt angle. Coming from just a normal dude, this is a pretty awesome device! I have played around with a Go Pro but if you put that thing on a gimbal itself it can get pretty heavy.

Easily surprised me at how great and easy the Osmo Pocket (OP) is to use. You can power on and be ready to record or shoot within 5 seconds. The size of the OP makes it a take anywhere constant companion. Hard to believe in a gimbal camera this size you can do time lapse, motion lapse, slomo, panorama, excellent images and 4K videos. You can use either the built-in screen or attach the OP to a smartphone or tablet. The DJI Mimo App lets you change settings to pro level recording. DJI appears to update the firmware regularly to enhance current functions and to introduce more functions.I do highly recommend adding the control wheel, wireless module and the accessory mount. Charges via USB C. You can charge the OP even when it is in the case.There are many informative tutorials on YT you can watch to learn the basics as well as advanced functions of the OP.The only thing I wish that it had and doesn’t is zoom. However, other than no zoom it met or exceeded all my expectations. You will not regret purchasing the Osmo Pocket.

I already knew a lot about this camera before purchasing. Knew what it could do. It's helpful to get a couple extra accessories. I use an Android phone, so I needed the adaptor as all your registration and product upgrades come through the app on your phone. The accessories are not expensive if you shop around. And there are plenty of reference material on places like YouTube if you get stuck on wanting to know what to do or how to connect certain extras. I have many mini-type cameras for different uses. And this camera is almost like having a camera man work with you. Extras I got: external microphone and charging base/wi-fi access - micro-SD card 128 GB, adapter for Android, controller wheel attachment, support carrier for phone/camera bundle which makes the connections super sturdy and easier to use. Very happy with this product. Waiting on last attachment to arrive in a day or 2. Then I am off to creating some amazing work. Fits with my plans on so many levels.

Great for video stabilization. Photos are grainy. No zoom feature (at least not the way it comes). It wants to follow your face so can get pretty annoying to set the position if you don't necessarily want someone's face in the center. Panoramic photo comes out pretty good and it's cool bc it pans for you, you literally just hold it straight and it's head rotates for you as it takes 4 shots to combine into a panorama. The app is a little limited, or maybe just complicated to use, as I wanted to edit photos and videos myself without necessarily using their suggested auto template, but I've found it annoying to navigate it and gave up so I have yet to edit.The camera does have slow-mo feature in which the entire video is taken in slow mo. There's a ton to be improved, including an integrated spot to store the phone connector as it is tiny and will surely get lost, but overall I will be keeping this camera as it's handy for good quality, well-stabilized videos. I have yet to explore all the extra accessories for this but from my understanding they will help with a lot of the improvement needs, but I still think some of it should've come standard.
