I really appreciate my Pocket 2, filming today on a birthday party and works flawless.

And oldie that keeps on delivering. It is such a reliable and good camera! I still use it. Did you see my recent video about Davinci Resolve 18.5 where I show how to mKe it look like a mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses, in just a fee clicks, inside resolve and with real time playback? That to me is a game changer!!

Thank you for this video, I believe a lot of people are not sure which one to get (even though you might be looking at the Pocket 3 at the moment), and you made it very clear.

Great review and good to hear the truth about DJI Action cameras over heating. Never had a problem with the Pocket 2 over heating here in Spain. Many thanks for making this.

One thing I hate about both cameras is that they both cannot eliminate micro vibrations. Something you have to do post shoot in an editing software.

still, the P3 offers way better stabilisation...In my opinion.

Hello Samuel, I'm watching your video from Chile, I'm currently working on several professional projects for which I usually use a Sony a6500, most of the things I do are interviews with people on soccer fields (I work with small sports clubs) although With the Sony camera I get good results, I want to start taking panoramic shots of the children training and the field to contextualize the interviews more without having to carry my Weebill S stabilizer, I am thinking of purchasing a Pocket 2 to take these panoramic shots in a way quick and easy to include them in the final assembly. Do you think the difference between the shots from the Sony and the DJI is very noticeable? I want to maintain a professional level and in my mind this idea at least works quite well but I am afraid that the shots will create discordance.

Thanks for the feedback. I am publishing my review of the new Pocket 3 later today. Could that be a better choice for you? 10-bit Dlog image and 32 bit audio with the creator’s combo wireless mic. Compelling…

I use the Pocket 2 a lot for my videos, travel show etc. I have the action 3 and insta360 x3 but def for other reasons. I really hope they come up with a pocket 3 with awesome upgrades. I would totally buy it.

Samuel thank you i asked you do make this video and you delivered Im still unsure which to buy do you think the pocket 3 will be compatible with the creators kit like the two i film trains lineside and also do railway journeys and model exhibitions i use a camcorder for the lineside work with a 90x zoom and the andriod phone for the travel videos and exhibitions If you cant advise me which one to buy then please could some of your veiwers give me there opinions as i cant buy both Thank you again for making this video Hasta Luego mi amigo 😊

I think at this stage nobody knows if the front lens will be the same size as the P2. I would love if the accessories would be still usable because you invest on those as much as you do on the actual camera. All I can say is that just as I am waiting for the 15 pro max to make some videos that can inform viewers if it is the right phone to buy, I will do the same when the Pocket 3 is announced. I just hope they deliver, whenever they release it….

Interesting review. I’ve been using the action 4 for the last few weeks and had been wondering g if I should have gotten the pocket instead. I have a very high end Sony a6600 but I film indoors a lot in malls. Well carrying around a huge camera is just going to attract security. I also need a wider angle than my Sony can get. So I’ve been using my iPhone 12 Pro Max wide angle but the low light and stabilization isn’t great. Oh and those lens flares yikes. So enter the action 4. I found it interesting that you said it won’t work for traditional filming. I filmed an entire mall where a lot of it was outside in 80 degrees. I shot 1-2 min clips and the camera never overheated. The wide angle was great. One thing I’ve noticed is that if you have a bright sky but a darker subject like a storefront it struggles to make them both visible. Usually the darker subject comes out underexposed. So now that I’m getting the iPhone 15 pro max maybe I won’t need any of the DJI cameras. Do you think the DJI pocket is wide enough for filming indoors? I may wait for the pocket 3 and see how the new iPhone cameras are. Again thanks for the comparison it was great.

@SamuelSotiega Жыл бұрын

The Pocket 2 standard lens cannot compete with the wide angle from the action 4. But you can add a wide angle lens to the P2 that will widen the field of view. Never a 155 degree field of view as with the a4, but definitely wider. The 15 pro and pro max hve a 13mm ultra wide. That is a nice lens in bright day time conditions, it could be a good option. Definitely a possibility and if you add a gimbal to it, you’ll get really smooth shots regardless, although for walking shots the built-in stabilisation should be good enough, it would be awkward to long term walking and holding the phone without the wrists and fingers feeling it. Let’s hope when the pocket 3 it is a genuine upgrade. It would be great if the same accessories that you can use on the P2 could be use on the P3, it would save a lot of money to a lot of people…

@@SamuelSotiega I never shot more than 10-60 seconds at a time when walking and filming with my iPhone. I never really had a problem getting stable footage unfortunately the wide angle lenses in the 12 pro max is very soft and not good in low light. Here’s hoping the 15 pro max is an improvement. As for using a gimbal with my iPhone. Well I have one and then it makes it very obvious your filming and it’s almost as big as my much better Sony camera. Like I said before unfortunately I can’t get a decent wide angle with my Sony since it’s apsc micro 4/3 and has a crop in video so even the widest of lenses will not be so wide with the crop. So far I’ve been mixing the footage from my action 4 and Sony a6600 and as long as you have good lighting the footage matches well. Obviously the action 4 still looks like a tiny sensor camera but for what it is I’m surprised at how good it is even at filming non action footage.

Thanks for chipping in. I will start my videos on the pocket 3 next week (I take delivery on Monday so allow a few days for testing, using and making the initial video) and I will do a few. so rest assured a Pocket 2 vs Pocket 3 and P3 vs Action 4 is on the cards!!

The overheating issue only occurs on the OA4 sold in Europe due to the regulation that cameras should shut down when the its temperature exceeds 48 deg C. There is a video on KZbin withe the instructions and patch file to solve the issue.

From the original osmo to the 4? Well, I think the quality should be significant but I don't own an original osmo, I can't really tell. There should be some video/s on youtube comparing them, no? Let me know, I would be keen to know too!

@YoutiaoVlogs Жыл бұрын

If I don't need the latest is the pocket 2 still viable and is the creator combo really compulsory?

@SamuelSotiega Жыл бұрын

I love the P2 and yes, it is a kick ass set up. To me, personally, the creator's combo is essential because you not only get a wireless. mic, but the do-it-all handle allows you then to wirelessly connect to your phone and view and control the gimbal and camera remotely. This is helpful if you do any filming of sports or use it as an action cam, or if you want to set up any shots remotely. But if that is not important to you, the P2 in itself is brilliant.... But if you can stretch to the creator's combo, you won't be disappointed.

@@SamuelSotiega I am thinking to save on a used maybe pocket or pocket 2 while waiting for pocket 3. To me I just need something better than any action cam for the gimbal stuff because my go 3 not as good in low light

for stabilization OA4 with a mini gimbal, that would top pocket 2 ? tho the size might not be the advantage but still very manageable ..no ?

@SamuelSotiega Жыл бұрын

The P2 is a gimbal already, can’t get better than that. It is pretty good. If you attach the A4 to a gimbal the stabilisation will be amazing, but as you say, the size might make it less attractive and practical than a P2. Or Pocket 3 when it comes out!!

I just sold my Pocket 2 and now use the Action 4. Great as the Pocket 2 is I find the Action 4 just so easy to use and just so easy to just drop in a pocket for that unexpected moment. Personally I found the screen rather small on the Action2 but no doubt not a problem for others. Best of both worlds is to have both if you can I guess ! Wish the pocket 2 was more robust then it would be a hard choice.

@SamuelSotiega Жыл бұрын

I agree with you. The ideal would be to have both, one used as action cam and the other one as a traditional camera… it all depends on what each person likes most…
