In saying that, it does have quite a few limitations, and as long as you are aware of those limitations, you can get fairly decent results in the right conditions.įor Vloggers, VJs, news crews, people wanting to shoot BTS footage, and anyone who needs to get occasional stabilized shot and not draw attention to themselves, the Pocket is a nice bit of kit to have in your bag. If you were, or still are an Osmo owner or user, you will probably be quite happy with what the Pocket has to offer. Even though it is squarely aimed at the massive consumer market, there is no reason it can’t be used by a professional. It’s certainly not a replacement for a larger gimbal, but more of an additional tool you can keep in your bag. The focal length is around 26-28mm (35 mm format equivalent). The Osmo Pocket uses a tiny 1/2.3-inch sensor and a fixed f 2.0 lens. The image quality is not going to rival a GH5, BMPCC 4K, X-T3, Sony a7, or any other similar camera. Anyone who buys an Osmo Pocket and expects it to be some sort of miracle device that can replace other more expensive gimbals and cameras is probably going to be disappointed.

DJI isn’t targetting this product at professional users, but that’s not to say it can’t be used in a professional environment, but you really need to be aware of its limitations. I’m going to come out and say it, the Osmo Pocket is a consumer product, not a professional one, and I have absolutely no problem with that. What the DJI Osmo Pocket is and what it isn’t The physical size (or more specifically, the lack of) is what sets it apart from any other product on the market.

I wasn’t quite ready for just how small and lightweight it actually is. The Osmo Pocket is absolutely tiny and unlike the BMPCC 4K, this actually does fit in your pocket. DJI is essentially giving you a very similar product that is a fraction of the size at a lower price. If you compare the original Osmo which was only released three years ago, to the Osmo Pocket, you can see just how far technology has come. But will it be a case of style over substance? The Osmo Pocket builds on this philosophy of miniaturizing tech and making a product that is as small as possible.

The Mavic Pro really was an engineering marvel, given its capabilities and small size. DJI has always pushed the boundaries with what is possible. Just like the original Osmo, the Pocket leverages DJI’s drone technology and a lot of the tech that they have developed over recent years. The Osmo Pocket is quite literally a drone camera that has been attached to a handle. If you want to download some original clips from the Osmo Pocket you can below: So without further ado, let’s get on with it. This review is based on how the product performs as a professional filmmaking tool, and not as a consumer device.
