I dropped my pocket one two days ago from about 6ft onto concrete. It had an nd filter on, which probably saved the lens, although the area around the lens was scratched. Still worked fine after that so I still have no excuse to upgrade :)
I love this camera and still use it for all my outdoor videos. Keeping my fingers crossed for an updated version with slightly larger sensor - that would be my dream video camera.

It's coming 1 inch sensor 10 lbit d log colour and 4 120fps and bigger battery
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.
Great review, thanks. I still love my Pocket 2 - it excels where GoPro falls down, mainly stabilisation in low light, as it's a physical gimbal. Also super portable and discrete. I hope they don't ruin it with the Pocket 3!

It really is so good. Whenever I travel I always take my Pocket 2. It's so tiny and unobtrusive and the quality of the video is much closer to my mirrorless camera than my GoPro or smartphone. If the 3 ever comes out I am buying it on day one. Providing they don't make it too much bigger that is.

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.
My go to camera for most of my KZread videos. Still holds up excellently today .

10:39 Thanks very helpful, I've just purchased pocket 2 creator combo .
Thank you! I just ordered this so I can stop recording on my phone! I'm so excited!
I love my Pocket 2! :)
Your colors look much better than what I get out of my Pocket 2. Is the footage graded?
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...
Thanks!

My DJI Pocket2 is still my go-to camera for my spontaneous run and gun filmmaking style. Never let me down. My channel is 80% of it.
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!
Excellent, please do more reviews.
Bro,Whats the size of the videos that are shot in 4k60 and which sd card would be good.
Genius designed camera!! Perfect for 4k walk videos. Pocket sized gimbal camera. No one will know you're recording unless they're very observant.

Where in the world did you film? It's stunning views & buildings.
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?
Thanks for the Update Video of the Pocket 2 in 2023. I world Love you do a head to head comparison of the pocket 2 vs a gimbaled large sensor action cam (e.g. osmo action 4; insta360 rs Leica 1 inch mod) with inkee falcon or isteady m6 gimbal!! At least I would be very interested in your valuable insights.
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 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).

I replied, but not showing . . . maybe I forgot to click Reply. The sound can be good depending on placement, but is generally hit or miss. Recording loud music in a club atmosphere is not a perfect science. So I use three recording devices and mix them in post. My best mike is the Zoom Hn1 which records in stereo and is about same size as the Pocket. Old phones can be used to record too and are cheap to buy. Recording directly from a mixer is ideal. But gets complicated with large bands, The mixer operator may help. For small acoustic type bands the mixer method is the way to go.
I have this but tbh I haven't properly used it. I would appreciate a video about your preferred settings, editing etc. Your footage looks great. Thanks!

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...
Love my Pocket 2. Versatile and unobtrusive
DJI Pocket 3 is coming soon! I spotted some KZreadrs testing it out in BTS videos of the Sony Kando 2023 event (where they get all-expenses paid vacations to their event + free camera gear from Sony).

I'm still between Osmo Action 3 and Pocket 2. I understand that the one is more for vlogging and the other more for action-paced situations, but I can't figure out which one should I choose for my own purposes. I'd want to do both - more on the vlogging in it's literal meaning, making video blogs of my events, activities etc for me to look when I'm older. I just can't figure out how much do I get the "Oh, this situation would've been better if I bought the other one" with each one.

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.
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.

For an update I'd like to see a square sensor so you can record in vertical, horizontal and square all at the same time, like the Insta360 Go 3. You then choose your format afterwards in the app, but can export the same video in various formats. Given all the formats required on social media nowadays, I think this is pretty important for any of these little video cameras, now. I wouldn't buy it if it can't do that.
