[@Davethebluessinger]

Hi I'm fairly new to the pocket 2 and initially bought a set of standard ND filters but I found them to be a bit fiddly and soon got tired of switching out filters every 5-minutes to suit the varying lighting conditions so I purchased a pair of variable ND filters and these have proved to be really good. As they were only an experiment I didn't buy the most expensive I simply bought a reasonable brand and they've worked out fine. I no longer have to fiddle around changing the filters - all I have to do is rotate the bezel on the outer edge of the filter until my exposure value comes down to something close to what's required. Because I'm in the UK I shoot in 25 frames per second and always try to stick to a 50th of a second shutter speed but I'm coming round to thinking now that I might start filming in 50 frames per second at 100th shutter in order to be able to use the slow motion that you outlined so well in this video. After watching one of your previous videos I've also just invested in a z-axis stabilizer as I'm not exactly nimble these days and I need all the help I can get with smooth video! This has yet to be delivered and is on its way from Australia as we speak. Thanks for your very informative videos I've just subscribed 🙂

[@Startingoverblume]

can you provide a link of what you bought?

[@DavidDavies]

Hi Dave, ya I have not tried the Variable ND but they look interesting. Changing the filters can be a pain. I have also not tried the Z-axis so let me know how that works for you. Take care.

[@DavidDavies]

Hi Michelle, are you talking about a specific product? Most of the accessories I have are from amazon. Let me know if it's something specific and I can let you know where I got it from.

[@Startingoverblume]

I just made a mistake watching your video without doing my own research or not being knowledgeable about sd cards. Before I watched your video I had already taken some videos. I just want to warn the people so they don't make the mistake I made. If you decide to format your SD card make sure you don't have any pics or videos because you can potentially lose important vids or pics by the way great video.

[@tambobiscuits165]

Z-Axis gimbal exists from 'Scotty makes stuff', works really well to remove walking bounce and lets you walk gas free (aka normal)

[@DavidDavies]

I'm sorry but nothing will ever help me walk "gas" free! Actually I haven't tried the Scotty 4th axis, I have tried other ones but I didn't like it. I hear the Scotty one is much better.

[@Orcification]

I have just got the pocket 2. Biggest mistake I make is looking at the camera itself like you would a normal action cam and NOT looking at the screen to see what you are actually recording. Guess I've just got to get used to the gimbal, never used one before. I've messed up nearly all my videos so far by doing this. There is definitely an art in using this camera, I'll get there in the end.

[@DavidDavies]

Don't feel bad about not looking at the lens, it took me a long time to stop looking at the screen. Now I always look at the lens and sometimes I just glance down at the screen to make sure I am centred.

[@Orcification]

@@Tensentities Yea I guess we are. I suppose it depends on what you use it for and what works best for you. I was using a "Normal" action camera before and so the gimble was a challenge. I was looking at the camera body and it turned out on looking at the recording that I had not recorded exactly what I wanted. With a normal camera you can basically point it in the direction you want and record, any fast camera movement translates to a fast camera movement, with this camera the gimble slows things down so there is a disconnect, a sort of lag to where the actual camera body is and where the lens is recording. Great for slow B roll shots though. It's a bit hard to explain until you actually use one. Once you get used to it, it's OK.

[@HamidShibataBennett]

Frames per second is definitely a personal choice. I tend to shoot at 24 fps with my Osmo Action too. But, shooting at both 24 fps and 60 fps seems like an odd choice. Have you tried shooting at 48 fps instead of 60 fps? It's far easier to process halving or doubling speed. 30 and 60 fps or 24 and 48 fps is the diggity. I am still considering a Pocket 2, so thanks for your perspective.

[@DavidDavies]

You make a good point, I have never tried shooting in 48 fps. For my KZbin channel and my personal videos I mostly shooting in 24 fps but for my professional work, especially broadcast work they want everything to be 30 fps (29.97 fps) so I normally shoot to those formats. I will have to try 48 fps and see the results. Thanks

Good list. More mistakes - using FPV mode for no real reason, leading to crooked horizons - putting the camera into the supplied case with the power button facing outwards so it gets turned on accidentally - setting the gimbal speed too high so pans get too abrupt - putting background music on videos where the original sound would have added interest and immersion - treating the camera as if it's a gopro instead of the quite delicate thing that it is - not checking and rechecking that you've not dropped the wide angle lens...

[@DavidDavies]

Ha, thanks Peter, that is a good list. I actually had the Go Pro and the wide angle issue, actually ND filter instead of wide angle for me. The FPV mode is funny, I don't use that mode much. The power button is a good one, so frustrating!

I was thinking of using this for outdoor ceremonies only and no this wouldn't be my only camera. I would use for the entrances and center cam during the ceremony. I do already use my Panasonic G9 on a gimbal works great, but auto focus isn't great it's not bad if you do what I do and use a prime lens, but with this I could actually do a small zoom in to change that center shot during the ceremony IE ring exchange, vows and maybe kiss.

Many thanks for great tips for me as a beginner to the Osmo Pocket 2. One request: Do you suggest using filters even in automode? Contrary to DSLR's I'm not going to use the Osmo in the manual mode 90% of the time, I guess, it's a quick vlogging option for me with no hassle to worry about. Many thanks, I'll be following the channel.

[@DavidDavies]

Hi Martin, yes the filters will still help in auto mode but they they work best in manual mode. If you are using the Pocket 2 for quick vlogging I would just try it in Auto mode without any filter to see if you are happy with the results. For taking head shots you may be fine. Good luck.

[@timgalletas3856]

Excellent tips! Thank you. About the ND filters, I stopped using them and auto gives me a better recording experience. The pocket 2 is a great little beast!

[@BlackJackzOO]

I was wondering about this. I bought an N32 but am worried I'll use it at the wrong time or not enough etc. Would I be better off just skipping it all together?

[@timgalletas3856]

@@BlackJackzOO without a doubt Nd filters make your footage more smooth and cinematic if you’re going after that look and will give you more flexibility when you use manual settings. However, you have to be mindful where you’re pointing the camera each time you record because the moment you point away it will be a different exposure and you will need to tweak the settings again or change the filter. This is great when you have the time to do so. In my case, I’m happy with the auto settings. One thing you have to think about is how you use the pocket. Filters work best if you attach your pocket to your phone because you have a bigger view of what’s happening with your exposure. If you are not using a phone it’s harder with the little screen. My eyes are getting old so that doesn’t help. Lol. You can also use wifi to monitor your recording but again it all depends on you. Hope this helps.

[@DavidDavies]

That's interesting Tim, I have always said I have been impressed with the Osmo Pocket, now Pocket 2, straight out of the box with no accessories. Personally I am just used to using the ND filters from my time using my professional cameras.

[@BlackJackzOO]

@@timgalletas3856 Thanks for the tips Tim. Another thing about the filters is that it takes me out of the moment. I can't just grab and record. Do you use the Cinelike D setting? I have heard different things about it being better for post production. Also, I can't seem to figure out if it's possible to lock exposure without using the app?

[@rpwoodjr]

Enjoyed the video, Dave. I just became aware of the Pocket 2 and trying to decide if I should spring for it. The idea of having such a compact gimbal with the camera built in really appeals to me. I've own a ZHIYUN gimbal for two years and can count on one hand the number of times I've used it. QUESTION: What do you think of the Pocket 2 from a casual photography perspective. I'll be heading to Disney World in about a month and was wondering about the quality of photos and also how easy it would be to bounce back and forth between taking video and photos. What-a-ya think?

[@DavidDavies]

Thanks for the comment. I totally agree with you about the larger gimbals, they work great but such a pain. That's what is great about the Pocket 2, so small and simple. As for photos it does a decent job, I actually really like the pano features, but I wouldn't rely on it if you are looking to get really high end photos. I actually took the Osmo Pocket, original version with me to Disney in 2019, I just bought the camera and the firmware wasn't great but it was perfect for Disney with the family. Have a good trip.

Just got a Pocket 2 about 5 days ago and just love it! One thing I've noticed, though: so far I've been shooting everything in 4K, 60 fps, and uploaded the video to KZbin. Problem: sometimes it uploads 4K videos in 4K, other times it uploads in only 1080P - ALL 4K videos, too. Any idea why?

[@DavidDavies]

Congrats on the camera, I hope you enjoy it. I also shoot in 4k. If you are taking those 4k clips and uploading them directly to KZbin then it's probably KZbin taking your 4k video and down converting them to 1080p. I do know when I upload videos, especially to my other YT channel, The Lazy Camper KZbin channel it does take some time for KZbin to create the 4k version. KZbin will start with the smaller versions then work on making the 4k versions. A few times on that channel, it has taken over a day to make the 4k version. Good luck.

[@billwdwc]

Great video. I cant get my head around AFs and AFC . Is AFS like manual focus ? so you click on it once and it's focused at that point. So for example Click AFS once on a landscape. Move behind a rock ( rock should be blurred out) Pan /slide left and landscape will be in focus. AFC always does auto focus Landscape is in focus move behind rocK and it will refocus on the rock when would you use AFS vs AFC Regards

[@CREATIVEreviews]

How come you wouldn’t shoot at 48fps for slowmo if you normally shoot at 24fps? Love the video btw 👍👍

[@DavidDavies]

Good question. I could shoot at 48 fps and on a 24 fps timeline the footage would be slowed down by 50%, but with shooting 60 fps I can slow it down to 80% and I like that look a bit better because it's a bit slower, but there is nothing wrong with shooting in 48 fps.

[@kenlyn2208]

Dave… love the vids. I need help. My wife and I find ourselves out and about with the pocket 2 combo. But we find the micro won’t pick up the other persons audio. Duel mic setup? We’re within 5’. Got a hack for us?

[@DavidDavies]

Hi there, that's odd. Are you using the internal microphone or an external mic? With the internal, or camera mic, I know the camera tries to use the microphone in which the gimbal is pointing but I thought it records multiple channels. Are you on opposite sides of the camera?

[@kenlyn2208]

Yeah… she’s not always facing the pocket 2. We tried putting the mic on her but it shuts off the internal mic… so that failed. Since I commented I may have a solution from Rode with their Go ii.

I am very new to the pocket 2 I love it but I found that vedio indoor is not good am I missing something?

[@DavidDavies]

Ya the video quality will not be as good indoors as it would be outdoors. It has a smaller sensor so it need plenty of light to give you a good image. Most cameras are like this. If shooting indoors I would not use the slow mode as it will look worse. With enough light I find the image of the Pocket 2 to be decent indoors, but much better outdoors. Good luck.

[@pf4773]

Just finished watching your "mistake" video! So good! I have a question: would you mind explaining a bit more here why you shoot in 24 fps for interviewing and selfie videos? Is it because it is a more natural look? Also, do you shoot always in cine mode? Thanks for any help!

[@DavidDavies]

thanks for the nice comment. I shoot in 24 fps for these shots simply because I like the look of 24 fps, just a preference. Some people don't like it but I like the more film look. Also I then edit my sequence in 24 fps and when I do shoot something in 60fps, I am actually able to slow that footage down more than I would be able to if I shot in 30 fps. As far as cine mode, I do use it from time to time but I have no problem shooting in colour mode, I think it looks pretty decent right out of the camera.

I know about one mistake because it's mine too: Osmo is the cheapest 4K camera on the market, so I thought I'd be able to continue using my old computer, on which I've been editing Full HD sequences until now.

I use Adobe Premiere but if you are using the Mimo App you should be able to edit some of the clips together, I don't use the Mimo App for editing clips together but I understand you can, and you should be able to upload the edit piece to Instagram?

Hello great video!! Do you know why the Pocket 2 camera points directly to ceiling every time I walk into any building where the ceiling is well lit or there’s a giant skylight like a mall?

Do you have the face tracking on when this happens? Sometimes the face tracking can really cause problems.

[@LyfeLoveLauryn]

@@DavidDavies Yes actually. Ok good to know! Thank you for responding! Love your channel!

One mistake I made was to put a tempered glass sheild on the lens (ther are great on the touch screen) when you put them on the lens it not only prevents a good connection for magnetic ND filters, but the few mm's difference makes it almost impossible to make those lenses click in and be secure.

[@DavidDavies]

sorry to hear that Ian. I don't put the glass on the lens because I am afraid it will mess up the image, I didn't know it effects the magnetic ND filters.

I was going to but those camera. I have a go pro 9 do you think i would be foolish if I buy this camera? Can you lat me know?

[@DavidDavies]

The Pocket 2 is a great camera but it is much different from a Go Pro or the Osmo Action. I have the Pocket 2 and the Osmo Action and I used them both but for different reasons.
