I am not a super techy person, and this is my first video camera upgrade from my iPhone, so this review is from a general user standpoint! There are still a lot of features I haven’t explored, but these are the main things I’ve noticed over the past few months! 😁

I have it for over a year now and love it. The Pocket2 is my favourite camera for doing tutorial videos. Just so handy with the lens, the mic and the connection to the phone. You've done a great job doing that review!

Thanks.Very informitve for myself who bought one 10 days ago.Sorry about my spelling.
Good job. Your tests in the woods were especially helpful. BTW, your mom did a GREAT job of researching this gift for you. Thank her for us as well. 🙂
I love videos like this. It reminds me of how KZread use to be just real. Love the video great job!!! I’m getting that Pocket 3 tomorrow.
Tomorrow I have a shipment with a camera. Of course, I watch all the videos on YT about this camera. I give you 5 stars for the video being the best out of all the reviews, unboxings, etc.
So glad I found your video! You did great! After some comparison research, I have narrowed it down to this dji Pocket 2. Your realistic testing and reporting helps me decide to purchase one. Thank you. 😊
Yooo!! this was a good video girl! That was really nice of your mom to get that camera. I do a lot of vlogs and a lot of camera reviews.. and the pocket 2 is a really good camera. I’ve used it a lot for my travel channel and for a few of my vlogs. Again really nice for your mom to get it for you. If you ever have any questions about youtube or camera hit me up anytime! You definitely have something so I hope to see you continue this journey on youtube! See you at the top!

Hi, this is the exact video I’m looking for. Other tech reviewers don’t cover the usage in standard point of view. It’s very helpful and helped me to decide to purchase the microphone. Keep making awesome videos. ❤❤❤
I love the pocket 2 and the creator combo is good for the value. It’s has one of the best in body mics
Found your channel through looking up dji pocket 2 videos and your video has been the most helpful and my favorite so far! Can’t wait to watch some of your other content too! Subscribed!
Your review of this camera has been the best I’ve seen so far. Great job!
Excellent basic overview. Bought mine today and cannot wait to use it.

Great job! I'm considering this camera and really helped seeing you use it. Didn't know the mic on the camera was something to be careful with. Also "personal WALL-E made me laugh!
That’s great! People need an honest review
Excellent review. Love the tracking function.
Great review, thank you for this, it was really helpful
Great review, im watching this because maybe im gonna buy one..thank you for sharing..
Thank you for the video!
I ordered the same camera yesterday. I also ordered the creator combo. You're looking gorgeous tho! 😍 I love to look at you
This is a great review, thanks! I want to but it for travel vlogs but most importantly for long timelapse videos.
Great video....can't decide whether or not to wait for the Pocket 3 or go with the 2.....
Good video. Keep up the good work. Love seeing young people starting out on their dreams. I subscribe just bc
Great review, and the way you hold the mic is really funny 😆😁👍 This is a really great camera, i guess i should have bought it instead of the Gopro :o For my type of videos this would have been perfect!
You gonna Love DJI pocket 2 A lot of features and good quality 4k.
Great review! I’ve been on the fence about the Pocket 2 or the 3…mainly because I wanted to see if it was ok to buy a 2 now that the 3 is out. I had no idea I could have my iPhone connected to while far away from the camera. Your review was on point and what I was looking for! Awesome job!
I have the same maxcam case for my DJI 😊 I actually bought it by mistake when I wanted the DJI pocket 3 but couldn’t cancel the order and couldn’t get through on the phone so I kept it I bought a few accessories filters and a different stand but have to say I’m more than delighted with it. Good job with your video 👍
Miss Ma'aaaaam! I love your vocabulaaaaary! 😭🦋🦋
pretty good camera, nice detailed review, well done
Nice video this is the camera that I use
The image quality of this is far better than a gopro Hero11 or a DJI Action 3 for low light/night. This is one seriously underrated camera and should last you for years to come.
Good review! ♥️👍🏼
Thank you for a very informative video
thanks for the review
Great review
You had me at “Wally” 😊
Nice review❤ i didnt skip😂
I just ordered mine. It comes on Friday.
Thankyou for a most enjoyable insight into that piece of tech. 👍You delivered what I was looking for re wondering IF I might be tempted into getting one. I AM looking at the Go Pro Hero 11 BUT, one wonders given what I would be using it for.. if that would be overkill AND the DJI would be a lot cheaper AND deliver ... 👀I liked the fact that you hooked up your piece of tech to the phone... I have two phone systems, an Iphone 11 AND a Samsung FE20 linked to my Samsung A10 tablet... sync is good. I appreciate what you say re the battery life. In all honesty that can be overcome to a degree by simply carrying a few extra battery packs etc. 👍
Thanks for the long-distance microphone test, I was looking for exactly that to decide on the purchase.

2nd comment - I meant to type this earlier. The iPhone uses something called, VBR variable bit rate for audio which causes the image and audio to shift. There are several videos on YT showing how to fix it.
Great work, in detailed review - can you also talk lil about the tripod with creator kit?
Audio sounds great. Cheers

Totally agree! The stabilization is great!
By far the best review for this camera because it is real life usage. Thank you. I wish more reviewers would do real life usage of the equipment they review. Though, how is it when filming away from you? Like you are walking facing forward rather than on your face?

It’s really stable and the gimbal takes away movement from walking, so the video is smooth!
well explained. Does your camera have the STORY and HDRvideo on the camera? I don't have these settings on mine, but see them on older (3yr old+) reviews.
This was super helpful

Thanks for this review I have been considering to buy this as I have a videography as a course subject next year. And I want this as the gimbal and stabilizer seem like really good as I have knee injury and sometimes use walking stick so the movement usually is shakey. One question, how long would it take for the camera to cool down? If the temp ever spike up.
I like DJI Pocket 2
Can you please mention the total number of hours that you were able to record in one single charge? I think that would give a measurable overview of the battery performance.
❤
Love my Dji pocket 2 mainly because of mechanical gimbal and D Cine like profile when am doing my cinematic videos. Hope Dji will give it 10 bit color code soon
It’s great and helpful video, I know face tracking, you talk about subject tracking how did you do it? Because when I go far away it says very small. Thanks in advance 😊
Thanks for the review! I have been planning to buy this myself and really struggled getting a clear idea of what to expect. I'm a bit worried about the battery life though. They do sell a battery pack thingy, but I was wondering if the charger cable is one that is like a USB and can go into my own portable charger?

Recently Dji pocket 3 launched. Is it worth to upgrade that new one, or stick on with Dji pocket 2. What's your opinion?
hi nice which has the longest battery life has the best battery life
I took mine on a trip. I noticed that during the first month The camera would last me about 5-7 hours of recording lots of short videos, but about week 5, I noticed the battery would run out after maybe 3-4 hours of short videos. Have this happened to you? Thanks
I just subscribed to your channel keep posting and just try to use tags and hashtags you are amazing.
Did you initially experience problems with the mic, or any static sound?
Can you film this at night in downtown or something? I want to see how good this camera at night or low light
I was thinking on getthing the same one as you. Because I also edit with only by my phone.
Get a battery pack, it can recharge both your phone and the DJI camera (there is a USB-C port on the Do-it-all handle)

It may depend on what you’re needing to film and your price range! Also your filming conditions.
What editing program do you like to use on the iPhone, besides iMovie?
@thehomegrownartist
Жыл бұрын
iMovie is the one I primarily use. The dji came with one you can use but there are a lot of features it doesn’t have that iMovie does. I haven’t been able to find any others that don’t have a watermark.
I just bought a hero 12 and I love it. I was considering getting a gimbal, but the pocket 2 can be had now for about twice the price of the gimbal. Any thoughts on whether you think the pocket 2 is worth it in 2024? It’s under $300 now and readily available. I’m mostly going to use it alongside my hero 12, but for lower light conditions. I know the pocket three has great low light capability, but it looks like the pocket two is no slouch in low light. I would love your thoughts. Do you think it’s worth it in 2024 since it’s under $300 now?
@thehomegrownartist

I think it depends on what you’re using it for! Over all, I’d say it’s worth it, but the low light capture is pretty bad 😂 you can’t really see anything. For me, that’s not much of a problem, but if you need that capability then it might not be the right thing. Personally I think it hold up well, and is still an excellent camera, totally worth it in 2024, but if you are looking for the low light capture as an essential it doesn’t really tick that box.

I like your video first of all. I'm in the market of purchasing a portable video cam for my upcoming trip to Greece. I'm debating between the Pocket 2 and GoPro. Is the Pocket 2 pretty easy to use and light weight in general? Thank you, and keep up the good work.

For filming while traveling the DJI Pocket 2 is better than go pro unless you plan to use the waterproof features of go pro. Go Pros other than the newest one which I have actually are notorious for freezing and running the battery down. I hate my go pro 7 but I love my go pro 11. I also own a dji pocket 2, I'm actually selling it. I love it but I just don't use it anymore because I do more professional type filming.

I’ve been searching all over to figure out the answer to one question: Does the wireless allow me to use BOTH wireless mic and app via phone/iPad? Which you did at about 7:51 - I appreciate that. I know it seems so simple but NONE of the other high speed tech reviewers even touch on it. Mahalo from Hawai’i.

Жыл бұрын
It depends. The longest I’ve gotten out of it filming continuously was about 2-2.5 hours. But if you’re pausing in between or not filming long stretches it lasts longer.
In my tests the tracking seems quite poor compared to the mini3 pro drone for example, still useful at times. Otherwise the image quality is really good from it.
@thehomegrownartist

After I’ve used it a bit more it seems that tracking faster moving objects causes a little trouble. I typically don’t move fast 😂 so it’s fine for how I use it, but I have noticed since making this video that it gets tripped up tracking with speedier movements.
