DJI Osmo Pocket Camera

The DJI Osmo Pocket is an intriguing little device that takes form factor and concept of the earlier iterations of the Osmo and shrinks it down into a tiny form factor.

Who is the Osmo Pocket For?

The original Osmo was billed to be the must-have vlogging camera and that never really came to fruition. Most vloggers preferred the image they got from mirrorless or DSLR bodies often using larger gimbal like the Ronin- S to stabilise them despite some impracticalities. When they didn’t want to carry that kit or were in a pinch then most would just turn to plugging in a light and microphone into their phone.

The Osmo Pocket looks to take the heavy lifting of filming video away from the phone whilst also being easy to connect and share media from it.

Osmo Pocket Specs

Osmo Pocket is tiny at just 121.9mm x 28.6mm x 36.9mm (Height/Width/Depth), weighs just 116 grams and has a battery life of 140 minutes.

The Osmo Pocket has a 1/2.3” sensor, f/2.0 aperture with the ability to shoot 4K video at up to 60 frames per second at 100Mbps and photos at 12 megapixels. The camera is mounted on to a 3-axis gimbal for stabilising any camera shake during movement.

A built-in touch screen combined with multiple gesture controls make it the perfect tool to pick up little pre-programmed shots. The Osmo Mobile 2 is superb for these kinds of shots but taking the phone out of the equation is a welcome step for us.

It has a USB jack that can plug directly in to your phone and the new DJI Mimo app so you can quickly get your content off the device and share it online on the move. It also offers editing tools and settings to pre-program shots
