Thanks for the good video! I also experienced exactly same as yours :( I love the osmo pocket but the housing MUST be updated. The problem of this housing is that the locking system is not the on/off system like gopro. It makes users doubt about sealing and try to tighten to make sure and tragedies happen like yours (and mine too)
@ruih15973 жыл бұрын
They should give you a replacement camera and refund you the cost of the housing as the housing doesn’t do what it said it can do (aka false advertising). It looks like it’s made of cheap plastic with a single O ring over a “threaded cover”… and that’s rated to 60 meters? …
@laloon20312 жыл бұрын
Hi, Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, the same thing happened to me, too, twice. First time it happened at 16m depth, I checked the ring and it was loose, the camera was soaked and I had to contact customer service. Luckily they gave me a free replacement and new housing for free, even though I was out of warranty. The second time it happened I was freediving, at only 10m depth and the ring was loose again. This time I was under warranty (within a year they gave me the replacement)- so I got lucky with the replacements without paying anything. I would say try contacting customer service again, the housing definitely was a false advertisement, and the ring will not hold water pressure under 10m.

@philipnicholson32163 жыл бұрын
I fly DJI drones - their products are good but have found customer service somewhat lacking. I use GoPro which has excellent image stabilization but am intrigued by the color reproduction of the images and video you shot - it looks very good. I wonder if a second O-ring would eliminate the problem?

As I’ve stated to others. I’ve owned multiple DJI products and have always enjoyed them. Good quality and excellent cameras. So we were very disappointed in the underwater housing. So far DJI customer service has not been very responsive.

Rather sad to see that the original DJI housing is just as bad as the knock-off version. We bought a knock-oof one not for diving but to use as a weatheroroof cover and for use on board a boat to combat spray. I don't think I would ever trust one of these housings to go underwater for more than a few feet. DJI states a depth of 60 metres which for a design like that is pure fantasy. Hopefully they did the right thing and replaced your camera.
@marclenraymagdaraog691 Жыл бұрын
bruh 60 meters even for GO pro casing is a stretch lol. the deeper you go under the more pressure it takes and causes the entire thing to have a leak somehow since you can't regulate the pressure inside of the casing.

DJI has asked us to send in the Pocket 2 camera that is now dead and the hosing and they will determine if there was any defects on the housing. Haven’t heard back from them yet. When you put it in the housing you will set it into the “underwater housing” mode and that limits the movement of the camera somewhat. But it’s starting very stable! And we were really impressed with the color!

@lesliefranklin1870 Жыл бұрын
Underwater housings are generally difficult. One hair or grain of sand in the wrong place can cause flooding, especially under pressure. Also, it seems like the design is defective with the ring coming loose, as listed in several comments below. An O-ring is generally made of silicone, and often people use a *small* layer of silicone grease to help the seal. Everything must be cleaned, lubricated, and tested in clean water before each trip to the open water. Unfortunately, there is seldom a guarantee. Some users were lucky to get a replacement. Good luck.

Scott, once you set the Osmo Pocket into Underwater mode it uses auto white balance. I don’t believe you can do Manila white balance. And yes we believe the design of the U/W vase is flawed. Having a single prong in the position it is in allows water pressure to loosen the ring.
