If you're new to my channel then, welcome, but you won't yet know that
I absolutely love the DJI Pocket 2 I use it the majority of the time for most of my filming
situations when I'm filming behind the scenes or vlogging and recently I shared a video a video
of four reasons why I would choose the Pocket 2 over the HERO10 because I do think it's better
for certain filming situations. So that being said there are times when I ditched the Pocket
2 in favor of the HERO10 so in this video I'm going to tell you four reasons why I do that.
So the first thing is POV and action shots with the HERO10, it's so much easier to mount that
HERO10 to anything, and one of the main reasons I like using it is because I can use this bite
mount, so when I am doing BTS or I just want some POV shots I can quickly put the HERO10 in my mouth
and get those shots. I'm looking around at what I'm doing so it's picking up everything that I'm
doing and it's just a really good way of getting those POV shots as well as having the head strap,
I don't mind looking a bit stupid sometimes if I want to put it on my head and have my hands
completely free as well whilst also talking so the head strap is also really great and it's
one of the reasons that I really like using the HERO10, and I've used it like that a lot.
So the other thing with the HERO10 and mounting it is I have this Peak Design Capture Clip on
my backpack so it means that I can put a specific mount on the bottom of the HERO10 and then attach
that to my backpack and I can just have it there and also again another hands-free way of capturing
stuff, POV shots as I'm doing stuff. So yeah the POV and action shots are great with the HERO10.
So the other reason is because of how rugged it is and it is an action camera so you can literally
not be so fragile with it the Pocket 2 is very fragile in terms of its gimbal so
I wouldn't drop it and if I did drop it I'd be very worried that I've broken it whereas with
the HERO10 you can literally toss it across the street, it'd be absolutely fine most of the time
I'm sure, haven't tried it, don't do that but just saying, so yeah very rugged and also, so I went
to the beach a little while ago and I also went paddle boarding in the lake and obviously there
was no way I was going to take my Pocket 2 so in that scenario the HERO10 completely wins out,
so that leads me on to the next bit so as I said I went to the lake and didn't bother taking the
Pocket 2 because I wanted to attach the HERO10 to my board so with the Pocket 2 there is a dive
case that you can get for it a waterproof case but honestly I'm not about to faff around with a case
when I've got a HERO10 which I can just put in the water, I don't need a case unless I'm going
deeper than– I can't remember, I’ll put it on the screen, but as it is just like this
it doesn't need a case all you need to do is attach the mount to the bottom put it on the
board or whatever you're doing or a floaty and it's good to go, so again perfect scenario for
using the HERO10 and one of the scenarios where I would obviously choose that over the Pocket 2.
Now the last reason which isn't really a massive deal but just something which
just makes it a little bit easier to use is the fact that the HERO10 has
batteries that you can swap, so the Pocket 2 just has an inbuilt battery so if it dies it's dead and
you have to charge it with an external power pack if you have one, whereas with the HERO10
you've just got batteries that you can remove and swap so you can get as many batteries as you want
to film all day and it just makes it easier when you just want to swap out batteries and do that.
So if you watched the previous video or you haven't seen it I will link to the
link to it at the end of this video but it just kind of highlights the pros and cons between both
and also highlights the fact that cameras are tools so if you want a specific tool for the job
then you choose a specific camera, so there's not ever going to be one camera that does everything
perfectly but I will say in this scenario that if you are looking for a camera where you
do need it to be kind of an all-rounder, the HERO10 is definitely that camera,
so if you want to vlog with it, if you want to do pov shots, if you want to go underwater with it,
if you want to do action sports with it, you want to mount it on stuff then obviously if
you have the budget for just one of these cameras the HERO10 is going to win hands down, but if all
you're doing is vlogging literally just talking to the camera walking around you want to catch a few
b-roll shots then I 100% recommend the Pocket 2 because it is great and the image quality,
the video quality is awesome. So again like I said depends on what you want to film,
each camera has its pros and cons and you just gotta pick the right tool for the job.
So let me know in the comments below if you have either of these cameras and
let us know what you really like about them, what you don't like about them,
and if you are trying to decide which one to get then I hope this video and the previous video
helps you out a little bit and if you have any questions or you want to ask me anything then just
drop them in the comments. Hope it was useful, thanks for watching, and catch you next time.
I thought I wasn't recording on my mic but I am, it's all good.
