DJI Pocket 2 - 2023 Review: The Special One

Excellent, please do more reviews.

When I do a video it only does 6 mins in each video

Well said per the review. I own it too and am glad i bought it. Need to use it more! I will sau the low light performance leaves something to he desired when phones are creeping in on that market for video even now too

Where in the world did you film? It's stunning views & buildings.

Color wise worse than Action 4

I have Pocket 1 . . . to me a sacred object. It solved my problem of filming live bands in clubs where flashing coloured lights are a challenge. The ability to shoot pans automatically is too cool (the 3x3 pan being very useful).

Excellent review! I enjoy a lot my Pocket 2. Concerning the handle, DJI could make it better at least updating its firmware. That's the only part of the camera which it annoying.

Love my Pocket 2. Versatile and unobtrusive

I love my Pocket 2! :)

I am using this camera along with the gopro hero 10, I much prefer pocket II for every day use, the go pro 10 is better when you need to mount or in rugged conditions. Ill use the DJI pocket II in low light over most of my other cameras, including the canon m50 with a full frame lens with speed booster adapter, my sony pmw 200 broadcast camera beats it, but its 100 times the size, and god knows how heavy it is.....for the wight and size.....pocket II punches really hard...

Excellent. Yes, the Pocket 2 is still the tiny camera I reach for when the chief object is good video quality. And excellent sound too - the four mics whose stereo image follows the direction of the panning camera lens, even though they are mounted in the handle, are perhaps the best on any camera at any price (ok, I don't really know the competition, but I would be interested if anyone can make a good case for another camera in this respect). One downside you didn't mention is the poor quality of the face tracking compared with the Pocket 1 (or even compared to the Fimi Palm 2). But that only matters to people who want to track faces...

Your colors look much better than what I get out of my Pocket 2. Is the footage graded?

This is one of the best consumer camera products that has ever been released -- especially when you consider the trade offs between cost, size and image quality.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Great review! The pocket 2 is such a nice camera/ video coming out of it I use it all the time and will continue to!

excellent...! thanks.

What is the battery life of pocket 2? Can it last 2 to 3 years?
Also, if it gets spoil then how we can replace it?

How mouch$?

i wish it had an internal natural density filter, a remote control, and a way to go straight to recording from an off position by long pressing a button. otherwise it's pretty good!

Have you seen the new leaked image of Pocket 3? It should be out in October. BTW I just found your channel and love your chill and logical presentation, rather than all the hype-tech-bros with their maniacal presentation styles. Subbed!

Where do you live? I want to visit there

Pocket 3 with 1" Sensor and 10Bit 422 would be awesome.
Action 4 Footage looks like it has better dynamic Range than pocket 2

yup not for me

Great review and btw you're more handsome than when I firstly watched your video a few years ago lol

that's stare mesto!

I have trouble getting pocket 2 to have a good sharp image quality in photo mode, its always a tad bit blurry here and there not quite like your example, is there a setting I should have known?

Pocket 3 would be amazing with a larger sensor, D-LOG and hybrid digital stabilization for the z-axis. Imagine a motion lapse mode! It has so many advantages over GoPro or Osmo Action simply because it is physically stabilized. Action camera stabilization falls apart as soon as the shutter has to drop below 1/100s.

Nice review, thank you

Would this be a good vlogging camera ?

Now that Pocket 3 is about to release you make a Review of the Pocket 2 😅

The mimo app can't be found on Playstore anymore. Is it gonna be a problem without the app? I am considering to get either Pocket 2 or 360 x 3. Which one is better?

A money grab.... ill spend my money on a Drone

Just asked this question on the DJI website support chat line.

Hi - I want to have 2 transmitters linked to the new pocket 3. If I buy the creative comb can I buy just one of the new Mic2 transmitters.

They couldn't answer as that option isn't yet available. I presume it will be as it would be crazy to make people buy a whole new MIC kit just to get an additional transmitter.

I wonder if you’ve got DJI pocket 3!

So whats the best 4 axis equivalent in terms of compactness? Anybody making one that you can walk with and get rock steady footage, or are we stuck with 4 axis gimbal for a phone/small camera?

The auto white balance of both Pocket 2 and Pocket 3 are not so good when comparing to the direct AWB from the pocket 1.

Compared to iP 14 Pro i think it is more usable just pull up your phone and shoot video, no? I have 14Pro myself and considering the purchase of pocket 2

Thank you! I just ordered this so I can stop recording on my phone! I'm so excited!

Bro,Whats the size of the videos that are shot in 4k60 and which sd card would be good.

Would you recommend this for filming my sons football games? focusing on him mostly

I was looking at getting an insta360 Link for a webcam but im wondering if I should get one of these dji pocket 2 or 3 instead. at least then i can take it out and use it to make videos. Is there a Native webcam mode with pocket 2? i know there is on the new pocket 3, but any advice would be great, thanks!

pocket 3 is out of prodoction. so they tring to get you to buy that out teck.

I had a look at a Pocket 3, to me it loses the advantage of being discreet like the Pocket 2, especially with the horizontal screen on the new model. If I was filming videos and being discreet is the priority, I would still use a Pocket 2 over a Pocket 3.

Im looking at buying this as its cheap now, does anyone know can you add an battery grip to it and neewer cm28 wireless microphone. As in if you add a battery grip is there another port to add a reciever for microphone

Is this zoom by it self while making video
