Hello everyone, I'm Ian from Creative Visuals and with the release of the DJI Osmo Pocket,
I thought it would be the perfect time to go over a full review.
Now that I've had a few days with it, I think I'm ready to do this.
So I'm going to be going over things a bit differently than normal.
Going to be starting off with things that I don't like and adding in ways to remedy
these things.
Just in case you may actually have this or wanting to buy it, I'm going to be going over
what I really like about it.
I'm going to be going over some things that I think may hold it back and make it not as
future proof.
And then I'm going to be going over what I want to see in the next generation of the
Osmo Pocket.
And finally we're going to end things off with what this is, what this is not, and who
the heck this is even for.
Okay, so now that you know what this thing is capable of, I want to tell you guys, what
I really do not like about it.
The first thing and one that's pretty big is the non-removable battery.
Now for one, this is going to hinder how long it can be used for every time and it also
is going to mess with how long this thing is actually going to last.
Because if it's non-removable when the battery's done, the whole thing is done.
Now some remedies for this is one, to bring an external power bank, like something you
charge your phone with and plug it on into the USBC port on the bottom and you can charge
it while using it.
And the other option is a bit more expensive, but that is to buy the Osmo Pocket kit charging
case and you can store a whole bunch of ND filters and micro SD cards in there.
So that is a very good option if you have the budget to buy that, I would recommend
it.
Next up is the small screen.
Now there are a few things you can do about this, but, it's still not going to make it
any bigger.
The screen on it is just so small and it would be nice if they could have made the whole
device maybe a bit bigger or just somehow incorporated a larger screen.
It's already so small, they could have made it a bit bigger and just up the screen.
But the only way to remedy this so far is to either hook up your phone, which is kind
of annoying because it makes it less small, but you could also buy the wireless adapter,
so you can have your phone separate from the device.
Or if you want to go the cheaper route, you can get a USBC to whatever type of device
you have, maybe lightening USBC, micro USB and you can actually connect it with a cord
through the bottom rather than buying the $60 adapter.
So that is an option as well.
Next up is the one over two third inch sensor.
Now, no matter what you're going to do, the sensor is not getting bigger.
It is a cell phone camera size sensor,j and you have to remember what its limits are.
Like small sensors have limits when it comes to low light, dynamic range and you have to
remember those things.
Now a few remedies to deal with this is just to make sure that you're using the right frame
rates, use your ND filters to get that nice motion blur during the day.
And make sure that you're using the 180 degree rule, double your shutter speed as your frame
rate.
And at nighttime just make sure you don't bump that in too much.
Your footage maybe a bit darker because of it, but if you bump it up to 3200, it may
look good on this tiny screen, but when you get it home it is going to be a noisy mess.
But what I do like about this is when there is noise in your shots and you're shooting
in low light, it actually has the details still there.
So you can use noise reduction, which takes a while but that is another option to use.
Just use noise reduction to bring it down because there is still a lot of detail in
low light shots with this.
Next up is the narrow field of view.
Now if you've ever heard of the guy Camera Conspiracies, he knows what I'm talking about
here.
Twenty eight or whatever millimeters that they have on here is just not enough.
I'm 6' 2" and my arms are long as heck and I can get a pretty good field of view out
of it for vlogging and that, not that I like to do that much, but I can.
If you're bigger than me, you're fine, if you're smaller than me, you have a problem.
And that's where you can use a selfie stick and stick it up on the end there and go like
that and make your arm longer by adding to it or the other option, which is kind of risky,
I wouldn't recommend doing it.
But it would be kind of cool to know if it would work.
I'm not doing it with mine, is just somehow stick one of those wide angle phone lenses
on there.
I don't know if this little gimbal is enough to do that, but you'll never know.
Next up is the low bit rate.
So pretty much all we can do for this is just hope for an H.265 update and for anyone just
simply H.265 has doubled the quality of H.264.
For the bit rate that you're talking about and the file size is half as big.
It's not really the standard yet, but I will talk about this more in the future proofing.
But pretty much, they can update it like they did on the Fugi's.
It's not all that likely, but if they did it would just be better because 100 megabits
per second for 4K at 60 frames per second is hard when you're shooting at a high frame
rate and a high quality, you need a lot of bit rate there to keep your quality up.
Stop the things looking pixilated or compressed.
So next up is the crops in slow motion.
So you pretty much just have to be aware of this - It crops in a lot.
Do not shoot in low light with it, it's not going to look good and when you are shooting
and it don't be too close to your subject.
But at the same time, don't go too far back because it's only like 25 megabits per second.
This thing would benefit greatly from H.265.
Next up is no controls without the attachment.
And this is something that I think we're just going to have to live with.
You're either going to have to buy the attachment or get used to moving it and having it follow.
Because the option would be for them to update it and add like a joy stick, Like what they
have on the cell phone when you connect it to you to move it around, just a single easy
mode for the gimbal control.
But if they added that, it would completely get rid of the point of adding the attachments,
so I don't see them doing that.
But the thing is, it's kind of stupid, they could do it, but they're not going to.
Next up is the finicky controls and lack of functionality without connecting your phone.
The whole point of this is for it to be small.
So why do you need to bring your phone to shoot at 24 frames per second?
Like that's just a cinema standard.
Why wouldn't they let you do that?
They need to add more frame rates, more options that you can shoot choose on here.
Think about a GoPro, think about how big this thing is and think about all the controls
you have.
Yes, the screen is bigger, but there's still just a small touch screen and this one has
so much more functionality.
You don't need your phone, you don't need to buy a wireless adapter.
They can add more things and I hope they do in upcoming firmware.
Next up is new 1/4 - 20 on the bottom.
There's really no way that they can excuse not putting one on, like they could've added
just a tiny bit on the bottom.
Just enough to fit a 1/4 - 20.
They didn't, so we had to buy adapters.
You can buy them on Ali Express or Amazon.
I will leave links in the description.
Next up is the durability of it.
Now don't get me wrong, this thing feels sturdy, like don't let it surprise you.
I can't even put words to how small it is, but it feels like it's built well.
But the gimbal, gimbals are all like very, very delicate.
There's no going up without saying that.
And this one is puny, so if you drop this, you're pretty much going to be left with a
gimbal going one way, camera the other and probably the handle going flying on the other
way.
You're going to want to get Osmo Shield, if you plan on dropping this.
Next up is no mic port.
You have to buy a dongle.
That's about all you can do there because mics on themselves.
Even after the update, they did get better, but they're still tiny.
And finally price and accessories, this is the last, the last of my rant, we're almost
done.
The price and accessories.
Now this thing is $350 for a cell phone camera on a gimbal that fits in your pocket.
That's what you're getting, but that's not where it ends.
It's $350 and then there's the accessories, the charging case, the waterproof case, ND
filters.
All of these different accessories add up.
You're going to be paying a lot more than what you originally thought you were.
And in the end, you're going to be held back by the sensor on it, which is only 1 over
2/3", the same one that is on your cell phone.
That is my last rant about this, just it gets expensive and $350, that's American and Canada,
this thing is about $500.
So just put that into perspective, but that's the end of my rant.
Let's move on to what I like about this thing because the list is just as long there.
So first off, the one that you cannot look over its portability.
This thing is small, like look at, I'm not even going to try to put it into words or
contexts.
You literally have to see it to believe how small this thing is.
It is just puny.
Next up ease of use.
I'm going to press the button.
It's doing a little deck startup dance and we can record now.
That's how quick it is.
Your setup, no balancing, nothing.
What other gimbal can you say that about other than an Osmo like this?
If you had a cell phone gimbal you would have to wait for it to balance and then start up
and everything.
So that is very quick and easy.
Next up is the quality given its size.
And I know I keep saying it is a small sensor and it does, but the fact of the matter is
it has a 1.55 pixel size, whereas most cell phones have either 1.22 or 1.4.
So basically that's going to let more light in and give you brighter images.
But most cell phone cameras are also F1.8, F1.7 around there, whereas this one is an
F2.
So you're kind of losing some, gaining some and in the end, I think it should just even
out, but it has a bit of bigger pixels, deeper pixels may we say if there are any apple fans
here.
Next up is the fact that there are accessories and third party ones too.
So you can save so much on the third party accessories and because it is a DJI product
which is kind of turning into the apple of the drone and camera industry, there are a
lot of third party accessories and they have a lot of accessories for it.
Like it says nice, like if you buy something from a different company, you don't know if
there's going to be these types of accessories.
Whereas when you buy this, there are just loads and loads of accessories and hacks and
3D printed things because there are so many options.
It's nice to know that those are there.
Next up, Osmo shield.
This is nice to have 30 bucks, that's it.
And that's pretty good for something like this because if you drop it, I'm sorry, if
it lands on the gimbal, it is going to break.
There is just no, it's so tiny.
Like it's not that it's built bad but gimbals are delicate.
Maybe in future models they can make some kind of housing around it and make it see
through kind of like the waterproof case, but smaller.
I don't know, that's just a quick idea.
Next step is, it's discreet.
Look at that, like people are going to think you have a lighter or something, not a camera.
You could probably record in places where you're not allowed to record with this thing
just because they're like, oh, whatever, small.
Nobody will know.
Next up is why are these things important and how future proof is it?
So the things that I think are going to hold it back is for one, where I keep going back
to, is the sensor.
In the end, it has a cell phone camera sensor on it.
It's eventually going to, when cell phone camera sensors get bigger, this one is going
to be outdated.
It's already, it's just at it as good as cell phone cameras, but when cell phone cameras
get better.
You're left with this, you're left with the old.
Next up is the removable batteries.
Like I said your battery's going to degrade over time and when it does this thing degrades
with it.
You can't change it, when the battery's done, this is done.
And finally when H.265 becomes the standard, the bit rates and codec on this is just going
to look outdated.
So that's about how future proof it is.
I say you're good for a few years to come.
Next up is suggestions for future models and the first one is a bigger sensor.
Like I keep going back to this, but that's what really bugs me.
They could've just put a bigger sensor in this.
All the other things you would, it would justify it so much more if it didn't have the same
camera as your cell phone.
So having maybe a 1/1.7" or even a 1" sensor like the Mavic 2 Pro would just be amazing.
My guess, this is very out there, but my guess is that they might do what they did with the
Mavic 2 and add one version of the Osmo Pocket with a Pro model.
So Osmo Pocket Pro and it'll have a 1" sensor, maybe even hasselblad 10 bit.
And then the other one will be the Osmo Pocket Zoom with a zoom lens.
And probably the same 1 over 2/3" sensor but with the ability to change your focal length,
so that would be pretty cool.
And even making them interchangeable, kind of like what GoPro did, but I think that's
way too out there.
But the possibility of a Pro and Zoom model in the future, I don't think that's too far
out there.
Next up is a model with removable battery.
They just need that like come on and a tripod mount like, seriously, what were they thinking?
Next up is H.265, just so you can get double the quality half the file size.
Who can complain?
Next step is the, a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack would be nice.
As well, as some internal storage.
Like they added it to their drones, why not add it to this?
I, we all forget our SD cards, don't even lie.
So whenever you do forget them, it's nice to be able to shoot.
Like I literally had to come home the other day and I've only had this for about two days
now and I still had to come home and get my SD card because I had forgotten it.
So that's what I hope for.
To come in future iterations of the Osmo Pocket.
And now let's get onto who the heck this is for, what it is and what it is not.
Okay, now first things first, is that this does not replace this.
The GoPro and the Osmo have been compared since the Osmo Pocket came out and it really
just doesn't make sense to me, because these are two different cameras, well not two different
people, but for different purposes.
This one is durable, this one, if you drop it, it's going to break.
It's not that it's made bad, but gimbals are delicate.
This one has electronic image stabilization, while this one has a gimbal on top.
This one has a wider field of view, while this one has a surprisingly narrow field of
view.
This one is waterproof without a case, and this one you have to buy a waterproof case
for.
They are two different cameras.
Yes, they are a similar size and some people may use them for similar things.
They should not be compared as if one can replace the other.
This also not replaces this.
You cannot replace a professional camera with an Osmo Pocket.
It's still got a cell phone camera there.
Okay, so now who the heck is this camera for?
I actually had to rerecord this part of the video.
Last night, when I did the first part, when I went to edit it, I just didn't feel like
I was doing this camera justice.
So I thought all day today, and I figured out exactly who I can recommend this camera
to.
And I think there are three main reasons that I would recommend this camera to you.
Number one, if portability is your number one priority, if you need something that can
fit in your pocket, you need something that can be stabilized video, I would recommend
this.
Number two, if you're someone who wants to be discreet because there's really nothing
else out there that it can be this discreet, this thing is honestly so small.
Now, third is it being a B-camera for professionals, so you cannot use this as an A-camera, this
cannot be your main camera.
You need to use this in conjunction with something else.
But if you do, I can see you're getting amazing results.
For example, pulling it out just about anywhere.
You can have this on you at all times and know that you have stabilized footage.
Yes, you're going to in the end, gets similar footage to as what you would get with a cell
phone camera on a gimbal, but then you have to carry around a gimbal with your cell phone,
which is much bigger than this.
This is all in one package that fits in your pocket.
You can whip it out anywhere and you can get smooth 4K footage up to 60 frames per second,
decent low light and really good quality considering its size.
That is who I would recommend it for.
Someone who is prioritizing portability and if it's going to be the difference between
you shooting and you not shooting, I would recommend getting this.
If you aren't going to record, but if you had this you would.
Why wouldn't you get it?
If this is something that appeals to you, portability, ease of use and just the idea
of having stabilized footage in your pocket.
No need, no hassle.
It's up in five seconds buy the Osmo Pocket.
There is literally nothing else on the market right now that can offer you this type of
portability versus its quality and especially even at this price point.
Like yes, it's a lot of money, but at the same time it's a one of its kind.
A lot of the time when brand new things come up, they are so much more expensive than this,
but in this case for what you're getting, I think for now we can justify the price.
But if you do not need it right now, I would recommend waiting a little while, waiting
for the price to drop, maybe some sales or getting it secondhand because I could feel
like if you got it at an even cheaper price, it would justify it just that much more.
But to conclude everything, if you want a portable 4k stabilized camera that fits in
your pocket.
You prioritize portability and you also want to have some pretty decent quality versus
the portability factor, buy the Osmo pocket because there's seriously nothing else on
the market that can compare to this camera.
Take care everyone and stay creative.
Okay, so just before we go here, I do want to just show you guys some actual raw footage
out of it.
So I'm going, it's going to play some here straight into the Osmo Pocket with no color
grading, anything.
What I am looking forward to, when they do come in with color profiles for this, so we
can make the footage look even better, but for now this is just shot.
I have a few in 4K if you in 1080P to show you guys the quality.
You can look at the raw files down in the description and see what the quality is like
for yourself just to, in case you guys are wondering my take on it.
Is that for a 1 over 2/3" inch sensor, the quality is actually really good.
Low light performance is quite good, but just the overall sharpness of the image is really
impressive for this camera and just a sensor of this size.
So that is my end recommendation.
One more thing is that if you do get one, and I have talked about this in another video
with Super Fine, but I just found out the Super Fine doesn't really boost the bit rate
any more than two megabits per second.
So I would actually recommend shooting in just Fine, no matter what resolution you are
in.
Because Super Fine causes the camera to heat up and all it's doing is sharpening in camera
whereas if you sharpen after in post-production, you have a lot more flexibility.
So with all that or the way I hope you guys enjoyed this review and I will see you in
my next video.
Lots more about the Arts Out Hero coming out very soon and this time stay creative.
