welcome back to the old town here in phuket got two special reasons to watch
this video for you the first is we're gonna be getting to know some more of the old town
and the second reason is i'm testing a brand new camera what are you doing and if i move around
it should track me i'll tell you what it is at the end see if you can try and guess
as we film this is out the box and i'm trying to fix that problem that i've
been moaning about for a long time which is i haven't got a wide enough angle of view
that's been fixed very wide and the second one is i wanted something a bit more stable
the first thing i want to do actually is get a beer because the sun doesn't
really hit the goal the golden hour won't really hit until about 45 minutes from now
thank you
there's a small camera isn't it oh very nice thank you easy to use i hope so
you can keep the change people are talking about this camera because it
is quite unique looking it's got a zoom function as well let's test the zoom
uh i'm not i'm not a fan of the zoom
but there you go and now it's on zoom mode apologies for testing my camera out in this way
yeah sometimes i like to take my key out make a video or two learn all the mistakes learn all the
glitches i just thought i'd bring you along on that journey today we'll just see what's
good and what's not good about this camera system but i have to say i think i'm really
potentially very excited i'll have to wait till i get it on my macbook and i can edit it
but i've got high hopes for this system
foreign
there's three modes there's follow mode fpv mode and tilt lock mode and i'm still kind of
learning what the difference is and if you're in the wrong one it kind of does weird things
but anyway as you can see the sunday night market is
very busy it's not even night time they've got one of those funny turkish ice cream shops here
you've seen that on the internet right where they trick you with the ice cream
another thing that i want to test out is this this is the microphone that comes with
this camera i haven't turned it on till just now because we're coming into the market there's quite
a lot of noisy traffic so i just want to make sure that the audio is as good as possible but
i don't know how good this audio external audio is it's wireless and you just turn it on and it
connects straight to the camera see there it is i don't really i'm not a big fan of these
they just look a bit silly but uh also i'm not a fan of the actual sound
but yeah i'm just trying to test it with all this noisy traffic
there's music playing here can you hear me okay or did you prefer it better without it
what are you doing i'm not quite sure about this camera now because i want it to like point down
but it's just staying on me but it's because i'm in the wrong mode but i'm not quite sure what
the difference modes are i've just tried to film those guys doing the music and it wasn't really
following along with them and it was on follow mode so i'm a little bit confused
but like any camera you'll get used to it
so anyway what do you think of the uh sunday night market i've been in the old town seven
nights didn't come last sunday this is actually my first time and uh it's got a good atmosphere
but i kind of prefer the old town on a monday or tuesday it's a little bit quieter for sure
this stabilization is second to none that gopro is good but this is on a whole nother level i
tell you what i do really like about the camera is being able to get right in there look watch this
now you can get right in there
so this is the instagram wall
i was thinking about just standing here one day and just to read a book or something just
get in everybody's way and annoy everyone
because it's just for coming here to take pictures check out this singer she's really good
this little alleyway or instagram road i call it is full of really gourmet traditional ice
cream shops there's always a queue outside i think on sunday most of them are shut
oh this one's open handmade ice cream lovely jubbly hi
i'm hoping to bump into you oh a huge fan yeah i'm doing something similar to you oh yeah
i'm not using a motor a motor oh a motorbike i'm not using a motor what are you doing
i'm using a bicycle are you bicycling all right can i have a look
cool so you're cycling around thailand on this and how far have you gone uh i've done 2 000k
okay not bad bangkok down to the malay border yep like through sunflower on the west coast
wow that's far that was a cool guy his name's ian from australia and he's cycling around thailand
hello hello you make mojitos yes
oh with samsung similan that's my favorite rum i'll have a i'll have one
this rum is really rare you can barely find it it's made by samsung but it's i think it's made in
it might be made in phuket or might be made in rayong or somewhere like that
where do you come from
oh yeah i know kiriwang kiriwang in the mountains and the the temple where you kiss the chicken
yeah for sure my favorite thing about talking to thai people now is i say where are you from
and they say thailand i got yeah i know but where and now because we've been everywhere i can say
stuff like that oh i know nakansi tamara i went to that temple where you kissed the lucky egg and
put the [ __ ] on the table next to the little boy and
kiri wong the little mountain village with the cleanest air in thailand all this really
interesting unique information that i've collected on my trip i can say that to them and they go wow
can't believe you've been there nobody goes there and i'll definitely be doing that
for the rest of my life and my friends will be rolling rolling their eyes now he always does this
because he went to every province it must be six o'clock they're gonna play the national anthem now
what's normally quite funny is tourists don't really know what's going on
and sometimes they just walk like what's going on
thank you now longer straw and shortest cup
and the uh the sugar's not being dissolved not the best mojito unfortunately
while we're here i'm gonna test a little bit of a gimmick function that this has got
okay so this is called follow me mode and if i move around it should track me so
the the company that make this camera they also make my drone so there's another clue
and a lot of people ask me when i'm driving dreamy like oh who's flying your drone when you're
driving dreaming the answer is always it flies itself it controls itself and
now they put that technology into a camera so if we walk over here
and i just think you know you can get creative with it can't you you can do shots like this
and because i got the lavalier my system you should be able
to hear me even if i walk all the way down here
can you still see me it's still following me is isn't it
so if i just walk a bit quicker let's see how it handles that
yeah it's lost me there hasn't it all right let's try that again oh no i'm i'm here i'm here
i'm trying to figure out like how would i use this
like in what situation could i get creative and uh no right i've taken the lavalier mic system off
again i'm not a fan of that i nearly just like lost it spent 10 minutes looking for it and it
was on the floor because it just it's not very it doesn't hold on to your clothing very strong
so that's annoying because if i can't trust something to work and be reliable then i
don't want to use it basically anyway that was a snapshot of the old town sunday night market
i'm going to go back i'm going to look at this footage edit this part of the video and i'll
pick up tomorrow i'll show you what this camera is and i'll give you what my honest opinions are
filming with it was fun but yeah i don't know what it's going to look like and how can i edit
it is it going to be brilliant or is it going to be lackluster and what is the camera i'll tell you
in a second good morning it's the next day and i've just had a look at that footage and
edited that sequence and i have some thoughts but first what camera was it if you guessed the gopro
10 you'd be wrong if you guessed the dji osmo you'd be wrong but if you guessed the dgi pocket
2 you'd be right it does this cute little thing like when you turn it on it like
gives you a little gives you a little wink this is it this is it this is the gimbal that was
giving us that stable footage this was the wide angle now it has an adapter which just comes off
then you put it back on it's magnetized which is really really good so that's really reliable and
it's got a little joystick for controlling the pan up and down and a few buttons and things
and there's there's some modes that i need to get used to obviously saw some of the footage
it wasn't really tracking me it wasn't tracking what i wanted it to do and that is because i'm
lack of practice it was out of the box and i've been watching some more tutorials late last night
and this morning and i think the mode that i need to put it on which i'll show you right now
is the best one is follow mode and then what you have to do is double tap on your face
but active track this is where i was going wrong i was shooting in 4k
60 frames a second yesterday and active track is not available at 4k 60 frames
so what i need to do is change the resolution down to 4k 30 frames not a big deal so once that's done
if i double tap on my face face track is now on so let me start recording so this is 4k 30 frames
a second with the face tracker uh enabled so what should happen is as i move around it should follow
me which i actually think is kind of a little bit unrealistic so let's just walk around and
i'll show you what you mean like i'm looking at the camera and the camera's moving around it's
it's trying to keep me in the middle of the frame one thing i do love about this camera
is the audio the audio has been amazing on this thing i'll just turn it off because it's about
to die the audio was great i really thought the on-body audio was fantastic even in the
noisy market with music and talking and everything i thought it was great it's got four different
microphones in different positions and absolutely fantastic and the lavalier mic system was really
good as well i was disappointed out of the box but i think with more practice this might replace the
sony this might replace vlogging on a gopro because stabilization was really really good
and i thought the image quality 60k 60 frames a second at 4k was fantastic last night the slow
motion as well you know just press a button and you're in slow motion mode you do have to get
your phone for that which is a bit of a hindrance because you just want to i mean why is there not
a button just to switch it to slow motion mode on the actual camera and then the hyperlapse was good
um again doing it in a busy night market where you have to move around it's not the best hyperlapse
environment what i'm going to do is i'm going to actually take this out this evening
go to a sunset place a really popular place in phuket and film another vlog so the next vlog
will be filmed on this i'll also bring the sony and the gopro and the drone and i'll see if i can
find a workflow where i can switch to the sony for long zoomed in shots can switch to this for
stable vlogging shots and use the gopro as usual for my driving shots and then the drone for epic
reveals and establishing shots i think all together these cameras will work fantastically i
just kind of hoped that this was going to blow me away and it would retire all of my other cameras
but alas i think it needs a bit more practice stay tuned for future videos because i'll be using this
again practice makes perfect anyway thanks for watching dji pocket 2 what do you think
i'm undecided at the minute a little bit more practice we should be okay
