    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 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. 👍

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 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?

    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.

    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.
