The DJI Osmo Pocket is an intriguing travel camera for vloggers and social media personalities, but some issues keep it from reaching its full potential.

• +

  Easily portable. Crisp, stable 4K video at up to 60fps. Time-lapse and panoramic stitching options. Strong battery life.

• -

  Autofocus issues. So-so low-light performance. Requires phone or add-on control wheel for best experience. Promised accessories not yet on sale.

Whether you’re a pro or an amateur, the DJI Osmo Pocket could easily convince you to ditch your prosumer video equipment since it does so much so well – with no gear bag needed. It has some limitations, but its price and features make it a solid buy.

  No tripod mount Usage limited without buying accessories Android app missing features Still photography features very limited

The DJI Osmo Pocket is a tiny camera that can fit in your pocket and take really smooth video, but it's not for everyone.

  Moving gimbal can get damaged

The new DJI Osmo Pocket is a well executed 4K camera for the mobile videographer. A 3-axis stabilized Gimbal makes for a new breed of action camera.

  Fantastic image stabilization and neat shooting modes

I don't care that DJI made the new Osmo Pocket as a portable hand-held camera, I just attached it to a drone and I'm pretty pleased with the results.

The DJI Osmo Pocket puts video stabilization in the palm of your hand, with a small camera that smooths out your footage thanks to a 3-axis gimbal. It's pocketable, like the name suggests, and doesn't hog your smartphone, like the larger DJI Osmo Mobile 2.

  Miniaturized gimbal stabilization, Records 4K video up to 60fps, Easy smartphone attachment, Amazing motion time lapses

  Audio isn't great in all situations, Not nearly as durable as a GoPro, Accessories are separate purchases

We didn’t know what to think about the Osmo Pocket when DJI announced the device earlier this month. It’s basically a tiny drone camera and three-axis gimbal on a stick. There’s a little screen so you can see what you’re filming and some smart features that help you track subjects.

  Struggles slightly in low light

The DJI Osmo Pocket is a very capable and versatile tool for shooting stabilised video and photos when on the go. Its tiny size and awesome three-axis gimbal make it so convenient to capture smooth footage, while its battery lasts a good amount of time between charges.

  Super smooth footage without the scale, Portable design, Easy to use, Stabilised slow-mo is awesome, Powerful and versatile tracking modes, Battery life is great considering its size

  Modular connectors are small and potentially easy to lose, Phone physical connection not sturdy, 1-inch screen is small and difficult to see clearly

Being an owner of multiple DJI products, I knew this product would be just as great. I always have this camera with me. You can use as a stand alone or connect with it using your phone. I also use it mounted to the windshield of my car and operate it with my phone. Don't go on vacation without one.

Few months back i got the Ronin-S which is an amazing piece of equipment I travelled with it but it's really very heavy to use for long periods, now with the osmo pocket which is just a few grams of weight i'm pretty sure i will use many times in my trips.

  Screen quality can be improved

for the price you are paying for, this little thing is really worth the money. image quality and video quality is quite impressive and most impressive part is the size and being able to swap out the adapters for different purposes. and the smoothness of the gimbal is not bad at all.

great item. small and easy to carry for those UHD videos.

This is a fantastic video camera when you get to grips with the controls. The Dji mimo app offers video editing you don't even need the camera connected to access this. A great piece of kit...

So, I put 4 stars instead of 5 to get your attention! For a consumer rather than pro product, this should get 5 stars - but there are a couple of lacking features that might bother even the consumer customer.

This is a cool gadget... however, to use it properly you need to connect it to your smartphone. which in of itself is not a huge problem but the only mechanical linkage between the two devices is just the USB C socket. It feels vulnerable to damaging the socket.

screen is now working after two day of purchase...

Great compact easy to useFast start up

great little video camera, the gimbal is amazing and gives very smooth shots. I carry it everywhere with me and its so handy. Maybe the sound could be better but will buy the mic adapter when it becomes available and try out the camera with an external mic .
