So I’m going to start with it’s faults first. It is in no way water resistant protected or anything. It was in my pocket I jumped in to save a fish caught on a line tangled up on some wood? I dunno I tried to save it though and the fish lived but my camera died. Now on to the amazing things about them, their warranty program is phenomenal because I sent my camera in after the fishy swim and I have a working camera. They have a whole editing software program you can download and it makes editing a breeze. For people that are still learning to edit it’s a life saver. It’s on a gimbal and it’s makes the smoothest videos. We hunt and fish and all that jazz so trying to film was difficult and everything we brought with us was excessive. Hands down one of the best small ... MoreSo I’m going to start with it’s faults first. It is in no way water resistant protected or anything.

This is a powerhouse of a camera in a tiny body. Great picture, good audio, and I never have to worry about stabilizing my shots. I love the facial tracking feature for filming myself while i craft, or for creating recordings while doing band practice. Its the perfect size to throw in my purse and take on the go, and the convenience of being able to connect it to my iphone to download photos and videos directly is majorly appreciated

The Dji Osmo pocket cam is seriously one of the coolest little gadgets. I’ve owned. My only complete is that the screen is definitely so small. It’s hard to tell to ensure that your getting the correct image however there is some cool attachments where you can connect your phone to the DJI Osmo. It’s great for vacations. The qualities is fantastic. I definitely wanna upgrade someday, but this was an awesome gift that I received from my husband.

Another brilliant product from DJI

I have been following DJI for sometime. Seeing the DJI Ronin and some of the early products, the company seemed to show potential. They really outdid themselves when they launched the Mavic Pro drone, a week after the launch of GoPro Karma, and totally killed a seemigly good product by stretching the limits of drone and camera technology. They then went one step further by making the DJI Spark drone. This is brilliant innovation from a less known Chinese company.The DJI Osmo Pocket is a smart product that basically combines DJI's existing technologies in an extremely attractive package. I got this camera the day it was released (purchased on Best Buy - wanted it immediately lol!) and it continues to impress me by the power it packs in such a tiny package.

I got this camera the day it was released (purchased on Best Buy - wanted it immediately lol!) and it continues to impress me by the power it packs in such a tiny package. Apart from shooting true to life 4K videos you can take great pictures, effortless Pano shots (finally someone made taking a Pano seamless), Super wide angle 3x3 shots, Timelapse and most unique - Motionlapse. I sold my Sony FDR X3000 and GoPro Hero to get this camera and I don't miss them at all.This is not an action camera (may be if you really want to use it, you can) so if you are about mountain biking etc. a GoPro may still be better. But for everything else, this is THE BEST.Pros:-Unbelievably stable Videos in 4K-Motionlapse (no other camera of this size does that)-Seamless Pano wit 3x3 mode-Face Tracking and Object Tracking-Amazing App that makes uploading to social media a breeze-Recent updates with thoughtful touches like turning the gimbal in resting position for ease of keeping in caseCons:-Pictures look grainy in low light, still better than other cameras of this size-Facetrack does not turn on sometimes, needs switching off and on again-If a Panorama shot includes extremes of lighting on either side, pano shots appear with gradient lighting - looks stitchedEdit (Adding below section after 20 days of use during an international travel trip):I would say now I have used the camera for a decent amount of time to know it well. It continues to impress me. In addition to pros mentioned above, I am blown away by the Mimo App and its video editor. I am a Premiere Pro user and this app makes video editing such an ease. I was able to quickly make a decent 10 min video of my 15 day trip using the DJI Mimo app within the 3 hours of my return flight to Los Angeles. The same job would take more than 12-15 hours on Premiere Pro (of course you get lot more options to use in Premiere Pro) but this is the best video editing phone app. I would recommend people use DJI Mimo app for video editing even if they don't have the Osmo Pocket.This is a brilliant device.Reading some of the reviews, I think most of users have bought this without having a USB C or Lightning connector - when product page clearly mentions that it does not work with micro USB (which in my opinion is a smart move since micro USB is a standard that is slowly being phased out) . Other reviews mention that app does not work - yes, it is a video processing app, it won't work with slower processor phones - upgrade your phone before you buy a $400 camera.

Good so far...mostly.

I'm just starting to explore the possibilities of the camera. It arrived quickly, safe and sound. It had stickers on the lens and screens for protection. My only issue with the transaction is that it did not include the case which is shown in the photo. This is a fairly high-tech, yet delicate piece of equipment - or so I've read. I'm not going to feel great carrying it around until I get a case. Initial tests show that it will work well. My other concern is witht he battery. According to the instructions, the camera should stop flashing when fully charged. When I turn the camera on it says 100%, but the flashing nexer stops when I'm charging no matter how long I charge it for.

Great little video camera!

Went with this over the GoPro Hero 7 Black because we were looking to make travel videos more than action/adventure videos. I was a bit worried about the durability and ease of use since so many reviews talk about all the setting, having to connect a phone, etc.Took this around for a few days in Germany/Austria and it was a champ! It's of course not as rugged as an action cam, but if you're not throwing it on the sidewalk in the rain it's perfectly fine. Settings are intuitive after 15 mins of fiddling around, and it's incredibly easy to pull out, turn on, and start shooting within about 5 seconds.It lives up to the "pocket" name as well. I ended up literally keeping this in my pocket (within the included shell case) while walking around, so it was readily ... MoreWent with this over the GoPro Hero 7 Black because we were looking to make travel videos more than action/adventure videos.

I ended up literally keeping this in my pocket (within the included shell case) while walking around, so it was readily accessible for everything.And the final footage is incredible! I'm not as skilled yet (and have not purchased lens filters), so still shooting with mostly Auto setting in 4K/30. You absolutely can make stunning, cinema-quality shots with this thing. But even as a quick point-and-shoot the output is great. This is a video I shot in FPV mode, 4K/30, Auto shutter/exposure, camera just wedged into a pocket behind the seat (haven't bought any mounts yet): https://youtu.be/Ta4G4QxQmMgOnly cons I've discovered so far:- You can't store the camera in the included shell with the controller wheel attached. This meant I just didn't use the controller wheel - but then found I didn't really need it.- Mics/sound could be better. It's actually quite alright for amateur videos and not as terrible as the youtube reviews would have you think. But it IS very easy to accidentally cover up one or both mics with a finger and when that happens, you can definitely tell.- Nothing to do with this actual camera, but I wasn't prepared for the size of 4K files. Buy extra memory cards!

Lightweight Little Gimbal Cam is a heavyweight for Travelogues.

Purchased for travelogue shots, I stuck it to the windshield to get the dash cam effect. It was vibrating so badly because I had it sideways, that expected no usable footage at all. What a shock when the footage came out pretty stable. I'd agonized over using different stabilizing technology, but motor-driven gimbal just made sense; figuring I could tweek it with the editing software. This review does not allow video, so I can only show some shots I took by accidentally pressing the on/off button twice. The shots are good on 40" monitors. The secret to getting the clearest picture quality available to your monitor is to not go through your phone, as one might expect to do. To get the clearest pictures onto your computer: remove the phone adapter from the camera, ... MorePurchased for travelogue shots, I stuck it to the windshield to get the dash cam effect.

To get the clearest pictures onto your computer: remove the phone adapter from the camera, then attach the camera charger cable to your computer USB Port. Download the photos the normal way. This camera is everything I bought it for, and I'd love to show it in action. I think that for fast moving shots as a dashcam, one should shoot at 60 fps, which the camera will do. Go ahead and buy the 256GB micro SD card - it works fine. I'm taking the world camping to Sequoia with me tomorrow and over the weekend, and this cam will be the star of the hiking trail - it really does what I want it to do. You can tell I'mwalking with it, but it is very smooth using the motorized gimbal. Gotta go to bed now, I wake early to leave on my trip tomorrow early. The pocket cam will be on my windshield, and a constant companion on the trails. it is So convenient.

Older model but excellent quality!

This was my first time ordering from Lensrentals. Once of my buddies that's a AV tech and has his own photography business recommended them. I was going back and forth from Pocket 1 and Pocket 2. Since this was my initial time ordering a used device, I went with the more affordable option. The Osmo Pocket has been spectacular for the little time I had with it. If you don't need anything 'latest and greatest,' the older model works awesome!

Pocket 3 disaster

I pre-ordered the Pocket 3 and their first attempt at delivering the product came with a broken memory card port in which the lock latch failed. After a month of trying to get a replacement, they sent me another unit, and this time the software failed. After reaching out to them they said that is an ongoing problem and you have to put your phone in Airplane mode to be able to transfer videos from the app to your phone. "We apologize for the inconvenience. Due to the cellular network redirection policy in some countries or regions, the video may not be displayed or downloaded when previewing due to a network conflict. When this error appears while previewing, please turn off the mobile phone’s mobile network.

I've been waiting for this camera since the announcement and its been a complete flop. Do better DJI

Stunning video from a small device

I opted to get the DJI Osmo after reading great reviews in articles. I compared prices, and this was an outstanding deal! I got the open box, saved money, and you couldn't tell any difference between this product and a brand new one, it's one in the same. All the accessories, paperwork, etc was included. It was so easy to set up; I downloaded the Mimo app, and started shooting right away. There's a slight learning curve, but trust me, you will want to learn everything this has to offer, because there are a lot of features and you can get a lot out of this little device. It's so handy to whip out and start filming or taking pictures in high definition. Why not just use the phone? The gimbal and size! The steadiness makes your videos look smooth and cinematic. The PRO ... MoreI opted to get the DJI Osmo after reading great reviews in articles. I compared prices, and this was an outstanding deal!

The PRO mode takes it to another level. You can also utilize your phone as a larger monitor, plus you can opt to save your video or images to your phone rather than an SD card. I love this device! My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. If you view the video, make sure your settings are for HD.
