Hey, guys. So in this video I'm not going to try and do a, like-for-like comparison with the DJI
Action 2 and the GoPro Hero 10 because they are two very different cameras, but what I will do
is I will compare things like the video quality, the audio quality,
stabilization, that kind of thing. I guess that is pretty much a comparison but they are two
different cameras for two kinds of different shooting scenarios so which one you use is
really going to depend on what you're filming, so my video is basically going to be based
on what the benefits and the features are of each and how each one would be suited
to different shooting needs so that you could basically decide which one would be best for you.
So as far as comparisons go I will compare the video quality and audio quality first.
This is what the audio sounds like from the Hero 10 and this is what the audio sounds like from the
Pocket 2, so neither of the cameras have a, have an external microphone they're just,
it's just the audio that's coming directly from the cameras
themselves so this is what the difference in audio sounds like and uh yeah.
Both of them allow you to attach an external microphone
but with the Pocket 2 you do need to have the Do-It-All handle and then with the GoPro
Hero 10 you need to have the Media Mod and once you've got both of those attached on
either camera then you're pretty much good to go and you can use any external mic.
So those clips were both shot using auto exposure settings so I hadn't shot in
manual settings or anything so the next clips i'll show you will be in manual exposure with
using ND filters because both cameras are able to use ND filters and for that, I use Freewell
ND filters for the Pocket 2 and the Freewell filters for the GoPro Hero 10 as well.
So the next thing that I wanted to test and I wanted to show you and compare was how each camera
performed in low light against each other so the Pocket 2 and the Hero 10 both do pretty well in
low light but i still think that the Pocket 2 has better low-light capabilities. The other
thing is if you want to shoot in low-light with the Hero 10 you will have to use a gimbal because
when the shutter speed drops below a certain value then the image stabilization in the Hero 10
isn't very good it just doesn't really work so you're still going to get
wobbly footage whereas with the pocket 2 because it is basically a gimbal
it performs perfectly in low-light situations, you don't need anything extra.
In terms of colour profiles I shot in the Flat colour profile with the Hero 10 and also the
Natural colour profile with the Hero 10 and then the D-Cinelike colour profile with the DJI Pocket
2 so that you can just see the difference between the two. Again, I still think that the Pocket 2
looks better, it's also easier to colour correct the Pocket 2 footage, the D-Cinelike Pocket 2
footage, so the Flat colour profile than it is to colour correct the Hero 10 Flat, Natural, Flat,
Natural, Flat and Natural colour profile with the Hero 10. The one cool thing about the Hero
10 if you do shoot in Flat, Ithink it's Flat, yeah Flat or Natural is that you can use FilmConvert to
colour correct and colour grade the footage, which actually makes it a lot easier, but also for the
DJI Pocket 2 I have created some corrective LUTs which you can literally just slap on the top and
it will do all the colour correcting for you with minimal to no changes from your end, basically.
So in terms of the durability, the Pocket 2 is definitely more fragile than the Hero 10 because
the Pocket 2 isn't an action camera, it's not the kind of thing that you
can just chuck around and just throw in your bag and be okay with it, you know,
the Hero 10 is an action camera so it's designed to take a bit of a battering
so that's where the two of them are kind of different in that respect.
The other thing is that the Hero 10 is waterproof completely straight out of the box you don't need
anything else so if you were going to be out and about and you were going to be
vlogging with it and it started raining you'd be absolutely fine whereas with the Pocket 2
you'd have to put it in a waterproof case because it's not waterproof and it's not weathersealed,
so that is the downside of the Pocket 2.
So if you're literally only going to be vlogging and you're not really bothered
about mounting the camera anywhere you're just going to be holding it out in front of you,
talking, getting some b-roll as well, then Pocket 2 is going to be fantastic. It's such
a great camera, I've had it for nearly a year and I absolutely love it and still use it to this day,
but if you want to be able to vlog as well as get action shots at the
same time and you still want something which is going to be really good quality,
then the Hero 10 is the one that you’re gonna want to go for, it just makes sense. So I hope
that was useful, I hope it gave you an idea of if you were sitting on the fence which one to get,
so yeah if you have any questions drop them in the comments below and if this video was useful do
