Packed into the small frame, which is smaller than my hand are an unbelievable amount of features, and the smart modular design that enables extras to be added is an inspired move, I’ll delve into those in-depth later. It is in effect the Osmo but on a much smaller scale, and by smaller I mean a small. The DJI Osmo pocket is an image stabiliser and camera in one.

I’ve already found a few things that feel like there’s room for improvement but for the price and in comparison with anything else available, it’s streets ahead. I didn’t expect a camera, stabiliser combo of this size to be so good from the outset. Although the Osmo Pocket has just arrived initial impressions of the video capture are good, although, with no external mic input, audio is limited to that recorded on board. I’ll continue to explore and bring you more on that soon.ĭJI’s experience in quality image and stabilisation shine through. The new DJI Mimo app enables a familiar Osmo experience and starts to really reveal the power of this small device. Slide in the Lightning adapter and plug into a mobile phone and the device transforms. At present, I’m not sure if you can adjust the resolution but most other options seem to be directly accessible. The small LCD screen acts as a good preview to what’s being filmed and the fact that its touchscreen enables you to quickly switch modes and review footage. The Osmo seems to self-calibrate at lightning speed. A red button to record and press again to stop. Powering up and all seems straightforward.

Yet in dimensions, it’s the size of one… or is it? I better buy a few and find out.Ĭheck out the size of the DJI Osmo Pocket compared with my hand… Small!īeing small you’d think that DJI may have had to pull back on the features, but alongside the 3-axis mechanical image stabilisation you have 4K at 60fps, a series of intelligent shooting modes and many Instagram generation friendly effects. It weighs just 116g, that’s the weight of two standard sized Mars bars. I knew the Osmo Pocket was going to be small, but nothing had quite prepared me for how small!

In the past only Olfi has impressed me this much with their packaging offering. What’s more, the scale of the Osmo range has always been compact, but now all those seemingly small past Osmo models look positively bulky with the arrival of the DJI Osmo Pocket.Ĭheck out the packaging… Yes, that’s fully recyclable, cardboard I think, but could be some other sustainable material. The Osmo series has enabled anyone access to pro-level filmmaking on a budget. The Osmo range is far more than just the image stabilisation as the featured app enhances the abilities and control of either the built-in or mobile cameras.
