Amazon recently dropped the price of the popular DJI
Osmo Pocket to $325 (a 7% savings over the retail price), likely in an effort to fend off competition from B&H, Adorama, and other popular stores that offer outstanding service, along with their regular retail prices.
My local camera store sells the Osmo Pocket for the $350 suggested retail price, but since gear money is tight, I may not be able to support them this time around.
I'm buying this video gimbal as my next piece of video gear because of it's portability, versatility, ease of use, and the advantage of its larger predecessor that the Pocket does not require a phone to record video.
The Osmo Pocket packs a lot in a very small factor camera, including:
* 4K video at up to 60 frames per second.
* Fast F/2.0 lens allows lots of light to reach the sensor
* 1080p video at multiple frame rates (24/25/30/48/60 fps)
* One inch touch screen LCD so you don't have to drain your phone's battery to record
* Time lapse movie capability
* Connect to a smartphone with lightning or USB-C connector to use as a larger display to record your adventures
* Steady Panorama shots
* 12 Megapixel photos
* Pro mode allows creatives to manually adjust the exposure settings on the camera.
* Can record video and photos on MicroSD cards up to 256GB
* Selfie mode
*
The pocket camera can be paired with accessories like ND filters to achieve more professional looks, a retractable extension stick, and a waterproof case
Only weighs 4 oz and is just under 5 inches long.
More technical specs:
Battery charge time is about 2 hours.
It does not have a replaceable battery, but it can be tethered to a USB battery pack to recharge the camera.
