Good news for vloggers and amateur videographers who cannot afford thousands of dollars of equipment, as DJI Osmo Pocket help them saves the day.

The Osmo Pocket is a tiny, three-axis stabilized camera, small for enough for anyone to carry around: it sits at just over 4 inches tall, weighs 166 grams or 0.3 pounds and fits perfectly in your hand as you go about your day. The compact form makes the tiny camera — with a 1/2.3-inch sensor that records 12-megapixel photos and 4K video up to 60fps at 100Mbps — all the more impressive.

On the handle, there’s a 1-inch touchscreen to preview what you shoot and a Lightning or USB-C connector to tether to your phone. It incorporates dual noise-canceling microphones, and the battery is rated for 140 minutes — DJI claims you can get up to 2 hours in 4K/30fps.

Below is the list of all the items that you are getting with it.

Beyond that, it comes with a load of intelligent features that, at the push of a button, allow users to capture creative videos and photographs. Perhaps the most interesting new feature, though, is the new DJI Mimo app, which it connects to via Bluetooth. This brings some familiar features, like ActiveTrack (for automatically following subjects) and Timelapse, plus some new ones like Story Mode.

PROS:

ActiveTrack–DJI’s image recognition algorithms allow Osmo Pocket to recognize and follow subjects of your choice. Just tap on a subject and ActiveTrack makes up and follows the subject.

FaceTrack–FaceTrack takes ActiveTrack one step further. With enhanced ActiveTrack algorithms, FaceTrack automatically recognizes a human face and locks the subject in center of the frame at all times. It does not identify individual faces, but keeps the camera centered on one. To initiate FaceTrack, simply select selfie mode and the camera will detect your face.

FPV Mode–“First Person View” mode lets you capture your greatest adventures by recording video from your perspective. Instead of locking the gimbal to maintain the horizon, FPV mode follows whatever the gimbal’s orientation is, shooting dynamic footage exactly as you experienced it.

3×3 & 180° Panorama– For capturing breathtaking wide-angle photos, Osmo Pocket offers two Panorama modes. 3X3 takes an expansive 9 images in total while 180° mode captures 4 images. That is to say, without moving the gimbal, users can let the Osmo Pocket capture the entirety of the landscape. Then Osmo Pocket software stitches them together automatically so you can focus on the framing of the scene.

Timelapse & Motionlapse– If you’re looking to turn minutes into seconds, Timelapse is perfect for capturing unique content with the effect of the world moving faster around you, while Motionlapse adds the dynamic element of camera movement to your Timelapse.
