Osmo Pocket review: Tiny but capable camera
We took DJI's tiny new gimbal camera for a tour of Hong Kong
But all three are, well, bulky. They're not huge, of course, but they're big enough that I wouldn't carry them all the time. I'd love for something smaller, that fits into my jacket, but still capable of shooting steady 4K footage while I walk around.
This isn't DJI's first handheld gimbal camera. The previous Osmo models were much the same, just bigger: There's a hand-sized grip to hold, and an orb-like camera housing at the top surrounded by the gimbal that ensures that the camera remains level. It's a wonderful creative tool, allowing for very easy smooth walking shots that used to require something large and bulky, like a Steadicam. Later, DJI released an Osmo without the camera, allowing you to mount a smartphone instead.
As the name implies, the Osmo Pocket is much smaller. It's a gorgeous little device, light and yet solidly built, with a nice matte finish. Where the old Osmo models were bulky enough that you'd have to carry them in a bag (albeit, not a large bag), the Osmo Pocket is indeed small enough to fit inside a pocket.
The question is: Who is this for?
