I filmed a few clips for KZread Shorts and for Instagram Reels. To get full resolution, you have to flip the Pocket sideways to film portrait. You'll still get stabilization, but just realize the functions change because the Pan/Tilt/Roll axis are changed. Play with it if stabilization is important. Another way is to film 4k/2k in normal mode, and frame your composition so that you can crop vertically in post without losing the framing of your subject. Since most Shorts/Reels/TikTok videos are downsized to 1080p vertical, you'll still maintain good resolution on that mobile format either way.

Generally, for focus modes, if you are following something, AFS (Autofocus Singular). This mode is for following a moving object, or if you are moving and trying to maintain focus on one thing. AFC, autofocus continuous is for general scenes, like filming an area and panning. There will be continuous focus on most of the scene and not one particular point as the gimbal moves. When you use the ND filters, you may want to just lock ISO and change the filters according to the conditions (i.e. cloudy/sunny, etc.).

Yes, Lawrence! As long as you can set shutter speed and frame rates for video, you can shoot cinematic looking video. If you’re outside in bright light, that’s when the ND filters come in so you can film with a lower F-stop to achieve the bokeh or depth of field you want.

Hi Kevin! ND Filters work best as a filterin bright light and helps to increase contrast of your photos.. Remember the exposure triad for photography: ISO, Aperture, ShutterSpeed. The best and base ISO on a small camera like the Pocket 2 is ISO 100. You are at a fixed Aperture at f2.8 (You can't change it), and shutter speed can vary depending on the lighting conditions. So, in bright daylight, using the guidelines with ND Filters, you can set ISO at 100 and set shutter speed in Auto and see how that works. If still too bright, you can change the filters to get the image you like. Try it, and Thanks for watching!

Use ND filters according to your outside conditions. If you are filming in bright conditions, they work well. If you're going inside, you'll not need ND filters. Also, if you watch most vlogs, despite seeming spontaneous, the ones with the best filming are planned or edited well. If you're inside, you set your camera for inside conditions and film. If you're outside, you'll set your camera for outside conditions. This is often not seen due to great edits and planning of shots. If you watch the run and gun type of vlogging, the quality is not always the best, and can sometimes be unwatchable. The best vloggers make use of b-roll and transitions for the changing conditions between shots.

Hey there, thank you for the knowledge Just got my pocket 2 Got a question, are the ND filters stuck to the lens tightly (does it come off easily when you walk when recording)? And when you record the video outdoor and under the shade, did you set the settings to auto exposure?

@TechTravelBeyond

The ND filters are small and magnetic. They’re strong enough to stay on! And yes, if you record going into and out of shade you can use variable ISO settings, but you may not always get great results if you’re using ND32 or 64. Plan the way you film to avoid that. The best vloggers plan their shots to avoid exposure issues and rolling shutter, even with the best cameras. Thanks for watching!

If you're in bright light, 800 ISO is way too high/sensitive. When outside with ND filters, I leave ISO at 100 for two reasons: it's most likely the base ISO for this device, and you don't need more sensitivity than that unless you're in a dark condition. Remember too, the higher the ISO on small sensors, the more likely you'll introduce noise/grainy pixels.

You can also take a screen capture, to take a note of which ND filter to use in which condition.

As long as you're in outside light, no shade, the following will work at ISO 100-200. I mention this in the video. Ducking in the shade as you vlog will not work too well since the NDs will filter light, so planning your filming scenes even as you vlog is important. Although vlogs are not scripted, you need to plan how you intend to film and for the camera to get a great video image. ND 4 - Overcast, Cloudy Skies ND 8 - Partly Cloudy, Some sun between clouds ND16 - Partly Cloudy but mostly sunny ND 32 - Sunny and Clear.

Make sure you have the latest firmware installed via the Mimo app. The indicator is simply telling you you have a magnetic accessory attached to the lens.

I only use the ND64 in really bright conditions, but in most cases, I do well with the ND32. Also, yes…I film with auto white balance and do minor corrections in my editing program.

When turning camera off with the filter attached, original or third party. Would you know what happens? Is the camera lens turned inwards protecting the lens as if there is no filter on, or is it left exposed as if using the wide angle lens? I usually turn the camera off between filming, and of course would prefer if the lens went in to the protective mode. I have my eyes on the Polar Pro, but maybe they are all behaving the same.

The lens turns inward like the Osmo pocket, and most of the instructions recommend taking off the bulky wide angle lenses. The gimbal may flick it off as it turns off. I’ve forgotten a thinner ND filter on the Pocket 2 and it didn’t cause problems or fly off with the camera going into storage mode. I remove all magnetic lenses before shut off so they don’t get lost.

Hi Adrienne! Keeping your frame rate/shutter settings the same, all you might need to do is change ISO in Pro settings. Make sure you chose M on the right for Manual, and try AutoMax 400. That way the ISO will stay low in bright sunny conditions, and when you duck into shade, it can auto adjust up to AutoMax 400. AutoMax 800 may be a bit grainy, but you can push it that far if you need to.

Hi there. Nice video. Honest question. Let's say I'm off from "perfect" EV by lets say +/- 0.3, is it okay to skip shutter to lets say 1/50, or better keep it at 1/60 and accept?

Hi Magnus. If you want to stay with the cinematic rule for motion blur and you're at 24fps and1/50 shutter or 30fps and 1/60 shutter, +/-0.3 is not a great variance to exposure. If it was several stops variance, you could also make adjustments to ISO or by adding light. I did a shot outside and I had a small variance in exposure after adding an ND8, but the shot still looked good because it was about +0.5.

Hi Luciernaga! This is where you carefully plan how you film. With ND filters, you generally use them in brighter conditions. So this is where you decide whether or not to just film in automatic modes to compensate for changing exposure situations. The other option is to film creatively with the edits in mind where your transitions and edits allow for the time you would need to add the ND filters and adjust for proper exposure.

During at the court you change 4 times the nd filter to show the difference. do you change the video setting also?

Hey RFS! If you are filming in a variable situation like this and want to keep with the cinematic 360 degree shutter rule, you might want to just film without the ND filters and use a variable ISO setting of 100-400 ISO max. ND filters in the shaded areas will make the shadow/darker area range too dark, and the variable ISO with 400 max may give you the results you desire in and out of the sunny areas. If you are solely filming in brighter light, then that's where you'll need the appropriate ND filters.

This may underexpose your darker areas, and even areas of good exposure. What you might try is a lower grade for the ND (ie instead of ND 16, try ND 8) to bring down exposure of sky. The best part is you can try and see what works for your situation. Hope this helps!

This sets it to an auto ISO setting with a max of 800 which is good for indoor exposure with the least grain. Now with using ND, I plan my shots so I can put the ND filter on for outdoors. This will also help white balance too since you don't want shifts in color from outdoor light to indoor light, and you have the opportunity to put that ND filter on for better motion and light control. Play with it, but plan your shots is best because moving indoors and outdoors can cause exposure and color balance issues for. your shots and viewer experience.

Thank you so much Chuck, I will try that. I appreciate your reply👍🏼.

Any body else has issues with the filters falling off the camera, specifically when you take it out of the holster? This has happened to me several time.

DJI and filter makers suggests you remove magnetic filters or wide angle lenses when powering off the Pocket and Pocket 2. When the gimbal calibrates at power on and when it powers down. They may get in the way of the power on/power off movements and can get removed/flicked off from the gimbal head. If the filter or lens is too large, it could also get stuck and harm the the motors too. Put the filters on after powering on, and take them off after filming before powering down.

idk 180 degree nd vs automatic smae more or less, wonder in nature footage though. I think for regular viewers they can't tell much of a difference

True, but I've done some panning and other movements in bright light without ND filters, and the Pocket filmed at very high frame rates. When I edited the video in a 24 or 30 FPS timeline, it resulted in dropped frames and some jittery motion. Your results may vary, so try it out without the NDs for your needs.

Great video thank you. But I dunno. I’m not convinced ND filters are worth the hassle.

As with most photo and video accessories, they’re an option. It depends on how you film, and what you’re trying to achieve for your final outcome. Thanks for watching!

Hi! I linked these in the description: The Freewell Budget kit has a CPL, and ND32 and ND64 with PL Filters (amzn.to/3yNSEUC). The Polar Pro Cinema Series 3 Pack have ND4, ND8 and ND16 with PL filters on them (amzn.to/2VdVuVe). Thanks for watching!

I shoot in AUTO mode (4k 60fps), and I'm not interested in changing the motion (to get the 'cinematic blur'), I just want to get not-too-bright footage in a very sunny day. I guess using a filter while filming in AUTO doesn't make sense, then? if so, my only option would be getting in PRO mode and lower the EV? (and letting all the rest in AUTO). You can check a video I took last week, in a very sunny day: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p5p21s-eobXglM4.html (in the last 15 seconds you can see everyone is so white!) and kzread.info/dash/bejne/qHl22cWbfZjUmaw.html (at 00:40 you can see them so white as well)

If you're not interested in getting smoother looking motion, then no filter would be your option. Just set to 4k 60, and exposure to auto. If you're able to adjust ev values, PRO mode give you more options for exposure and even variable ISO. Play with it and see how it works for you. ND filters are an option, and will avoid over exposure since the aperture on the DJI Pocket 2 is fixed. If it wasn't you'd have another option to avoid over-exposure. I use ND filters on the DJI Pocket and DJI Action cameras because of this. Try it out, and as you do, you'll get faster at just looking at the light and determining "It's really sunny...I need at least ND 16 or 32." That's how it's been for me, and I'm so much faster in the process. Thanks for watching!

You said nd 4 twice when describing the lighting of the days. 😂

No green screen at all. I don’t know how to do that In Davinci Resolve. The pocket has sharp focus in bright light, and people were waiting to use the court. You can also hear the cars in the background.

I would better not purchase such a camera that needs so many extra accessories. It looks like a failed technology.

Interesting viewpoint. So would you buy an APSC or full frame camera without extra lenses, gimbals, ND and polarizing filters, cases and batteries instead? That would be the same dilemma on a larger scale. Thanks for watching and sharing.
