Osmo Pocket and Osmo Action can I use either camera for vlogging can they get
good internal audio we're gonna test it out in the video coming up hi everyone
I'm Brett Garamella with BrettGaramella.com, and if you haven't done so please
subscribe to my channel we're gonna get right into the video
I really wanted to compare these two because I'm going to the Grand Cayman
Island in less than 24 hours so I'm kind of making a last-minute decision wanted
to get your feedback if I should bring these guys should I use it for vlogging
should just use my normal DSLR camera or should I go with one of these guys so I
do greatly appreciate your comments below about what you think of this
internal audio is it worth it and just so you know I already tested this mic
adapter the DJI mic adapter with the Osmo pocket works fine but it doesn't
work with the Osmo action so it wouldn't be a fair test also a lot of people when
you run a gun you just want to carry around these two guys you don't want to
carry on your phone you want to carry around another mic I want to travel
light so if you're like me I think this comparison will be helpful alright so
we're gonna start with the Osmo pocket and we're going to start indoors and
then we're gonna go outside and then we're gonna do a wrap-up so here we go
and now I'm just recording normal just recording with the Osmo pocket this is
the audio from the Osmo pocket okay I have it about a foot away from me I have
a wide-angle lens that you're watching right now so sometimes it's deceiving
and how the length of how far the pocket is away from me but I'll let you know
it's about a foot right now now I'm holding it about two feet away okay
that's two feet away if I'm vlogging I could do something like this okay I'm
two feet away and how does the audio sound 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 let me bring
it closer alright I think this range with Osmo
pockets pretty good this is about a foot and a half because I get kind of like my
whole head shoulders good height to get you know the background but not too much
because if you hold it too tight too close about a foot away it's really you
kind of just get the face so I'm gonna hold it where I normally hold it here
with vlogging and how does this sound how does this audio sound just
around how does it sound okay now we're gonna move on to the Osmo action one
thing I like about the Osmo action is a voice control switch to the front switch
to the front switch screens oh there we go alright so now we're gonna start
recording by the way I have everything on auto ok so everything is straight out
of factory the noise reduction is on with the Osmo pocket but everything else
is auto cuz kind of a pain in the butt to change the the levels in the MIMO app
and all that so we're not dealing with a MIMO app we're not doing on their phone
we're just going Auto here and we're seeing how it is right out of the camera
now I'm holding the Osmo action I'm about a foot away
there's the Osmo action actually a foot away it looks great the Osmo action is
wider than the Osmo pocket so you can hold it if you're vlogging I can hold it
right here yeah it's only like a foot away and it's perfect for vlogging which
is nice because you hold your arm out too much it gets tired so you want to
have your arm kind of bent and I'm just holding Osmo actually like a really good
length about a foot away my arms not getting tired now if I moved it further
back about two feet away this is what the audio sounds like so what do you
think it's out how does that sound ok so 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 we're holding
it 2 feet away now we're moving it in closer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and this is
probably where at vlog right around here around a foot maybe a little more than a
foot maybe like 14 inches 15 inches something like that and that's a pretty
good length for vlogging and how does the audio sound alright guys so to make
it a fair test I'm gonna go outside and I'm gonna do this test both in the park
and I'm gonna try to go to the ocean or someplace windy so I'm gonna go to a
normal place and I'm gonna go to someplace where there's a bunch of wind
to see how these guys hold up outside and with some wind noise so let's go do
that right now actually hold on I think you see it right here the Osmo action as
you can see I'm holding it about a foot away I think there is a little know if
you can see it moving down right here there's a little cap
right there I think it's a wildcat hopefully it won't attack me just seeing
how this sounds right if I'm vlogging I'm just walking around wow the cat has
given me a weird look or maybe it's just tired I don't know check out this cat
right there you guys see it I don't know looks small on my screen it's only a few
feet away anyway just walking around and I'm just talking normal so this is me
just talking normal just walking around and look at that cat yes moving around
come here kitty come here kitty kitty oh the cat come here come here come here
we're gonna have a friend in our block come on yeah it's okay yeah nice come
here kitty cats like that you're open right there alright guys so how do you
think it sounds does it sound pretty good just audio pretty good didn't think
I would be petting a wildcat in the middle of the woods oh yes because I
said wild it ran away ASIMO action seems to be good for
vlogging because I'm only holding it about a foot away so we're gonna switch
to the Osmo pocket right now alright guys so this is me holding the Osmo
pocket about a foot away and about a foot away it's a little too close but if
I hold it like two feet away it's not too bad it's just my arm is extended so
it's kind of annoying walking like this and you can see how it
sounds so holding it about a foot foot in half and we're gonna add in the ASIMO
action right now we got both cameras they're both about now about a foot away
maybe a little more than a foot away I'm just walking right now with both cameras
and if I'm vlogging this is how I'm gonna vlog and we're just seeing how the
audio is not really worried about the video too
much but just seeing if I can vlog which one is better for vlogging which one I
get better audio and cats right there still and just walking and just testing
out the audio alright how it sounds and the cats right there you can see the cat
that cats pretty funny hey hey kitty hey kitty hey kitty hey
kitty yeah oh it's rubbing against my butt where are you what are you doing
kitties like what the heck are you doing alright so let's go to the ocean right
now alright guys I'm at the beach and the audio is probably really bad right
now cuz there's a lot of wind but that's good for this test because I wanted to
test it with wind got the pocket got the action and I'm gonna keep them
relatively close to me so I'm gonna keep it right here yeah it's about a foot
away say a foot away alright so let's start recording
well Sadie on small action just looks better it looks like it has more dynamic
range between the like the bright areas and the shadows and highlights it just
looks like it has more dynamic range everything looks better in the Osmo
action at least on the screen but you know screens can be deceiving screens
also a little bigger next to the pocket you can see the screens right there side
by side the size of them we're just talking now I'm talking we're gonna do
the audio of the Osmo pocket and just see how that sounds alright awesome old
pocket and now we're gonna switch over to the Osmo action how does that sound
Osmo action and we're gonna see how that sounds just talking normal 1 2 3 4 or 5
6 7 8 9 10 I'm gonna bring it a little closer hello
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 all right I'm switching between the
two and we're just seeing how that sounds alright obviously it's real windy
I'm gonna bring it closer to me this is really close now I'm gonna bring it
really far away as far as my arms can extend okay I'm sending it all the way
moving it all the way out there and I know what some of you
guys are thinking you're thinking why don't I just use the laughs mic well how
do you use a lav mic at the beach you know it's gonna kick and then going in
the water it's not gonna be practical so that's what I wanted to do with the
internal mic and see how it works the Osmo pocket does have noise
reduction okay so this is the noise reduction work with the Osmo pocket the
Osmo action not really sure so you'll be able to hear it now if it does have it
alright guys that's it for this test we're gonna go back and discuss it let's
go check out my twin I think he's over there I think we can go check him out
yeah he's right here actually why don't you go check him out alright guys thanks
for sticking around to the end of this video
give me your focus because I have some really valuable information that I
learned from doing this test I think it can help you as well so I was really
surprised about a couple of things one thing was that with the internal audio
with the Osmo pocket it was a lot louder than the Osmo action so I actually had
to raise both of those levels to make them usable and post I say the Osmel
pocket was usable for post but the Osmo action even though it sounded to me
better than the Osmo pocket I had to raise the levels up much more in
Premiere Pro when I was editing this video so I just wanted to let you guys
know that for Osmo pocket I raise it up 1.7 okay so 1.7 decibels and then for
the Osmo action I had to raise it up 4.5 decibels so I raised the Osmo pocket 1.7
the Osmo action 4.5 so there's a huge difference in the sound right out of the
camera so I also noticed something else and I think you guys might have know
this notices as well if you did leave in the comments with the Osmo pocket
there's kind of like a little bit of a hits and it was like that low at the low
end it was kind of like a like this and then with the Osmo action I didn't hear
that as much but because I had to bring up the level so high I had all that
background noise so if you notice when in the first part when I was walking in
the park some some kids were playing on the other side of that forest and you
can sort of hear them in the back ground so I feel like if I raise the
levels up too much you're gonna have a lot of the background noise so I'm sort
of in dilemma here the Osmo pocket I thought would be much better since it's
been around for for a long time but the asthma action I really like the sound of
it is it's just it's just too low if it was just hired naturally out of the
camera I think that would be really good but then again I don't know I'm not an
audio expert so I can't say that it will have the same hiss it's a small pocket
what do you guys think but I will say the field of view of the optimal action
is great the screen is great both of those are better for me than the Osmo
pocket okay so for vlogging just looking at it and just holding it up not having
to hold it so far like I did with the pocket the action I could hold it right
here I can see it more practical for vlogging what do you guys think leave in
the comments below hope you guys enjoyed this video I got a pack because I gotta
go in a few hours to Grand Cayman Island so let me know I'll try to do a bunch of
videos down there for you guys if you haven't done so please subscribe to my
channel give it a thumbs up I'll see you guys when I get back
