- What's going on fellas it's your boy
Potato Jet and welcome to the brand new
Potato Jet studio.
I've been waiting for this day for my entire life.
I'm not quite done yet, hardest part so far
is getting this room acoustically treated
because you're probably still even hearing a
little bit of echos now but I'm still waiting
for a few more acoustic panels to come in.
So hopefully, that will deaden that out.
Still in the works I'm going to kind of get
maybe like a guitar here or something.
I don't even play guitar but I think it will
look pretty cool.
Anyways Osmo Pocket just came in the mail
I bought it with my own money not sponsored by
DJI or anything.
Holy crap, that really is small.
There she is, looks pretty cool.
Definitely fits in your pocket no issues.
DJI always makes you activate their cameras
before you can use it.
DJI Mimo App that's what I need?
While I am downloading I might as well just check
my emails real quick.
Delete, delete, delete, delete, uh-oh wait.
I think I needed that one.
Okay now I got a firmware update to do then I'm
just going to cut or else it's going to be like
hours and hours of footage I have to edit to do.
So I'll come back once this is fully charged up
and ready to go.
And we're back we're fully updated.
One thing I'm wondering is there a good way to
set this down like, it kinda can stand like that
but one little nudge and then it'll tip over.
If they added a little tiny little foot right there
it would definitely help if you have your phone
attached to it because right now it's a little bit
front heavy so just a little bit of aah.
Yeah any other way you set it down the gimbals
gonna like hit the surface.
That's kinda neat it's definitely very
very smooth.
Yeah, with this lighting it definitely looks
pretty good and sharp, and here's what the audio
sounds like straight from the Osmo.
And that's pretty neat.
As far as I can see right now the quality
out of this little camera seems pretty impressive.
Especially, if you consider the size of this thing.
The lens itself is just like barely bigger than
my fingernails and that's pretty cool.
Now the screen itself is very small and
basic but a lot of times that's all you need.
When you're vlogging you want to be looking at
the lens anyways not the monitor.
And a lot of times I just love that flip out screen
not really just to constantly check on it but just
to see okay, is the exposure decent is the frame
somewhat what I'm expecting or does it just look terrible.
The screen is definitely not perfect but it's
enough to see is this frame okay, is this going
to be usable later.
Let's do some more tests, let's get out of this
studio shall we.
- What's it shoot 1080?
- 4K.
- No it does not.
- Yeah it shoots 4K-30 or 4K-60.
- Oh wow, look at that.
- Welcome to the new vlog of adventures with Steve and Gene.
You are very prickly.
It's a really odd feeling just carrying this little
tiny thing around, I feel like I'm not really
even carrying around a camera.
So, I'd be really impressed if the quality out
of this thing is good.
It can go inverted just flip it over upside down
and then you can get inverted mode.
Here we're going about five miles per hour or so.
How does it sound?
Is there a lot of wind noise?
Here's how I look back lit and if I go into direct
sunlight it looks like that.
- (Potato Jet) Feel pretty good about doing cartwheels.
- No I think I hurt myself, my shoulder.
I told you what turning 30 does to you now imagine
what turning 40 does to you.
- One thing that the GoPro has is the super view mode
which can give you that super wide angle lens.
The Osmo Pocket is kinda limited to this size.
So if you want that super wide angle frame
which, you might want especially if you are
doing some sports, you wanna film yourself
doing cool tricks on a skateboard or something
it's going to be easier on the GoPro.
Yeah on the GoPro I can see the entire Jeep
opposed to the Pocket
- Really?
- Where it's like cropped in, yeah.
The Osmo is like a close up, the GoPro is like a medium
shot.
You hold the GoPro it's small but you can still see that
you are clearing filming.
This on the other hand, is like you can barely
tell I'm filming anything at all.
- Yeah.
- Just say that it's your inhaler.
- Yeah it's an inhaler I just, or vape pen.
Jonatan why are you going through all that work
when you could just use this camera?
Let's see who can shoot it better, Jonatan's
silly little rig or the Osmo Pocket.
Alright so I have the GoPro on the right and the Osmo
on the left let's see how both do next to each other
in a low light.
The sky's still a little bit blue so we're getting
a little bit of light from that.
They seem to be doing pretty similar the Osmo is
going to have the slight advantage in terms of
stabilization because it's on a gimbal, opposed to
a digital stabilization so, you don't get as much
of that jiggle.
With a little bit of shakiness and vibration the
GoPro has to do a digital stabilization so if I do
some vibrations on here you can see that it kinda
looks blurry, gives it this weird digital stabilization
affect.
But on the Osmo the camera itself is stabilized so I
can kinda shake it around and the camera itself is
stable so it doesn't have to do any sort of digital
stabilization.
So the Osmo probably has a little bit of an advantage
there.
Alright, so now we have the iPhone XS Max on the
right and I don't have it on a gimbal right now so
it's not stabilized it just has a little bit of
that optical stabilization.
But see how these two compare.
And that's one of the biggest issues with these
small sensored cameras.
They may look great and super sharp but as soon as
we start losing light that's when the full frame
cameras really come into play.
We're about to hit up one of the hottest clubs in LA
on a Saturday night let's go Ikea.
One thing for sure is that this thing is absolutely
tiny so if you're self conscious about vlogging in
public this thing is so small, that people don't
even pay attention to it.
Right now if I had my EOS R in vlogging a ton of
people would be just staring at me like "What the hell
is he doing?"
But here I'm just going around filming in 4K
and it's not a problem.
(upbeat music)
Hi, so after playing with this for a couple of days
I'm definitely impressed considering its size.
Its so small that when you carry it and point it
around you're like is this actually getting decent
footage?
But it does so, that's really impressive.
Now the question is who is this for?
I think the biggest selling point of this is the size
that you can throw it in your pocket or purse or bag
and it barely takes up any space.
And it's stabilized with a gimbal which, is
pretty impressive.
Now the quality is good out of this thing but I wouldn't
consider it to be professional looking.
It's not gonna replace putting a mirrorless or a DSLR
on a gimbal.
That's still going to give you a better image but
this in the pocket size category so when it comes to
pocket size these are probably the most popular
items right now.
And this definitely competes with these other three.
But, I still don't think it destroys all these other
cameras.
They all have their strengths.
Which one of these four would you choose?
Well, a lot of that depends on who you are, what
your needs are.
Me personally, I would probably go for
the G7X first
simply because it matches well with these cameras.
The colors are really nice as a one in sensors.
It has a flip out screen so it's wide enough to film
yourself, the sound quality is pretty decent out of this,
the optical zoom I think is very cool.
Especially if you're traveling and you see a monkey
flying across a tree or something and you're like
"Oh, I want to film that."
You can zoom in and still maintain excellent picture
quality it's flexible and the picture quality out
of this one in sensor is pretty comparable to the
80D that I'm filming on right now.
The Osmo pocket does appear to be quite a bit sharper
because of the 4K but, just really love how the G7X
just looks.
The G7X just looks very natural and pleasant and organic.
The Osmo pocket looks great but it does look like a
little bit of digital sharpening, it kind of reminds
me of the original DJI Mavic.
So, if I'm traveling and I could only bring one of these
I'd probably throw this in my pocket and, then if I had
space to bring a second camera I'd probably go for
Insta360 one X because you can get some very unique
shots out of it.
And I'll be using this to get my main shots, this
to get my specialty shots.
I'd probably bring my GoPro as a third in case I
wanted to do some mounting.
I really like how simple this thing is, I just press
it and the stabilization is good.
And the main thing I really like about the GoPro is that
it has that super wide angle views so I can just hold it
out and I know that not only am I just showing my face
but my whole body and if I have a few friends with me
I get them all in the shot.
So even though that the Pocket is an awesome camera, it
would be the like the last kid I would pick to be on
my team and who'll be all sad like I've been picked last.
And it's an awesome camera but the reason why I'd pick
it last is because it's just not super versatile.
It does one thing well which is a good medium shot on
a gimbal which is smooth.
Now one thing that I did notice is that even though
it is on a gimbal it's not super smooth simply
because it's so small.
I mean the stabilization on the camera
does an excellent job but I always talk about
how heavier the camera is the more stable your
footage is going to be.
That's true even in this gimbal, you don't really
feel it when you're filming with your hands but when
you see the footage you always see a little bit of this
like floatiness and that just naturally happens
when you're filming with such a small camera.
The heavier your camera gets the more fluent you're
naturally going to float around because you have all that
energy going in that direction.
Even putting this on a gimbal it has enough mass to
where you can make it glide.
And just like any other camera to smooth it out even more
you could always cheat it a little bit by shooting slow mo.
I shot a couple clips at 60 frames per seconds
and then I slowed it down to 50 percent and it looked
much more fluent goes where the shots were.
Just looked like the camera was gliding through
the air which, is generally what you're trying
to achieve with a gimbal.
When you play back the clips in real time I always
notice a little bit of that up and down motion.
I also have to admit I'm not the best operator either.
There are a lot more people with smoother hands than me
but generally speaking heavier the gimbal the smoother
and more floaty floaty everything feels.
Another little complaint that I have is that you can't
put it into 24 frames per second in this device you have
to plug it into your phone and then enter Pro Mode
and then you can have access to 24 frames per second.
So you need your phone to put it into 24 frames per
second but once you remove it you can't really adjust
that many parameters.
I feel like 24 frames per second should be an easy
feature to access especially for someone like me
that films everything in 24.
But I bet the firmware updates come in pretty soon
because I can't be the only one complaining about that.
Another reason why this wouldn't be my top pick is
simply because you're stuck with one lens.
Alright, so here I'm going to put this camera right
next to my vlogging camera right here.
And notice that it's so much wider on the vlog
camera and I personally like to vlog with a super wide
angle lens.
So the GoPro has that advantage there where it can
go in super wide it can also go in tighter just
like this looks.
The G7X mkii shoots medium all the way to tight
and the Insta360 can be wide shot but it can also film
everything around you it's crazy.
Oh I almost forgot the most popular pocket size camera
your phone.
And you can take your phone throw it on a gimbal
and get very similar results as this guy.
But this is no longer pocket size so I'm gonna
exclude this for now.
You can get a lot done out of this little camera
so it is impressive.
Depending on what you do and what you're interested
in filming, this might be a really awesome option for you.
And I'm sure there are many of you guys that would
love to use this and it probably fits your style
of filmmaking and your needs.
So if that's the case let me know below in the comments
and I'm gonna give this away to one of you guys.
So, all you gotta do leave a comment, let me know what
you want to do with it, and I'll send it out to
one of you guys.
Alright so lets close this off with reading some
comments from my last video Traveling with Camera Gear.
All about how to travel with it, how what to do
at the airport.
Up comment is from Mustafa you can travel for free
if you tie balloons to your house.
Okay I'll admit that's kinda funny that deserves a heart.
Matti Haapoja says the worst part of filming is
traveling with gear, today is my first trip in like
six years where I'm not filming anything well, except
for some family clips how you can never fully leave
the cameras at home.
I agree with that especially now that I'm YouTubing
I cannot go anywhere without bringing a camera
because as soon as I see beautiful scenery my
instinct is to grab the camera get this awesome shot.
Black Magic Cinema Camera where is it, what have you
done to it?
It's here back in my possession and I'm going to make
a video on it but things have just been so slow because
I've just been moving all this stuff and I'm so
exhausted from moving but finally, all the heavy
lifting and all the hard work is done so I can start
pumping out videos.
We try to constantly figure out how to consolidate
the gear into the least amount of cases, image of
a gigantic pile of cases full of gear appears.
That is exactly our life and that is as consolidated
as we can get.
We travel with a ton of gear, it sucks.
You should do a camera giveaway.
Doing that right now and there's a lot more coming
and so have you subscribed yet?
How does Steve have time while coaching the
Golden State Warriors?
I don't get that joke does he look like the
Golden State Warriors?
Oh my god, oh my god that looks just like Steve.
Holy crap, that's pretty funny.
Oh Steve, that's usually how he looks on set too.
Alright, I'm out.
I'll see you guys later.
