Hi everyone Chris here with Feiyutech's new pocket to camera gimbal so this can shoot
up to 4k 120 frames per second as you can see it has this really nice compact size we have a 1.3
inch ips screen with this that is a touch screen it supports micro sd cards a runtime of up to 220
minutes so in this in-depth review i'll be going over the build quality the design the application
as well as some sample footage so you know exactly what to expect out of the pocket 2 here inside the
pocket 2 box here there is a case i'll show you more of that shortly we have a quick start guide
some qr codes for their social media ones for the application warranty card a strap and our type c
to type a usb cable and this is the case so it's made out of a tough abs style plastic the rubber
strap here holds it in place so the gimbal is nice and safe in this and there's even a cutout for our
type-c port for easy charging and we can charge it without having to worry about scratching the
gimbal or needing to take it out of the case which is good so right here we have our directional
joystick this is our record button and stop or to take a still right here is the power button i have
a little speaker there's a microphone built into this as well so right down the bottom there is
a thread there so you can put this on a tripod or a selfie stick torx screws there it's made out of
metal and quite a nice solid hard frame so we've got our type c port there status led for charging
this is our micro sd card slot so they sit in nice and flush there's no risk of these popping out
even if you were to place it up against something or you dropped it it should not come out and then
of course our gimbal three xs gimbal with the camera right there as you can see so when you
power that up that will automatically spin around into the correct position along the back here
nothing this is made out of metal another little torx screw and i'll just turn that on right now
now options here that we have with the pocket too so settings i'll first go into that you can
see that our battery life the wireless connection so you can connect this up to the application to
operate it remotely i'll show you that shortly anti-flicker settings so 50 hertz 60 hertz
ketone if you want that or not swiping over got more options you can see the valuable storage
calibration metering uh the auto power off mode for saving on the battery life there too as well
and more settings there's a few other things like resetting it device info and whatnot so
just tap the power button will bring me then back or you can swipe from the side different
settings we have then is the high quality mode for video bitrate is what i'll be using
the narrow or wide angle for the shot okay this is our field of view you can change that over
to if you wanted to and i'll just swap over here face tracking you can turn that on or off
the full screen display just going through the display modes normal mode pro mode the
brightness of the screen and that's it there for the settings now getting out of that we can
swipe up go through the different modes we've got so follow mode right here we have recenter
all follow mode and this is the pan mode right there which is a little hard to see because of my
bright lights on in the screen it's quite bright too which is good and getting out of that so just
swiping back or tapping the button if we swipe from the right we can go then into our settings
so slow motion mode photo mode video i will show you the options we do get here so 4k 60s are
maximum you can change here the frame rate just by swiping on the touch screen here so 50 frames
per second 30 48 down to 24 frames per second as well different resolution options so there's 1080p
so 1080p here frame rate let's take a look at that what is it going to go up to the maximum
120 frames per second with 1080p so this is the application right here that's called for you cam
now what you can do with this is connect up to it wirelessly and you can get a preview that's
a live preview you can see right now and i'm able to control the gimbal with this then i can look
around here at my messy studio and it does it in real time and you can see there's a little tiny
bit of noticeable delaying lag coming through that you would normally get with a wireless connection
connection here with the live preview you can go and cycle through that all the different modes
there so in time lapse dynamic video capture you're able to do all that you can on the
gimbal but remotely you can see the available free time we have the battery life remaining and other
different settings all possible through here changing the resolution and whatnot you can do
all of that so it is handy in this application you also use it to update the firmware for the
gimbal but the main use would be this for remote use of the camera going through the settings
so you can have it mounted on a tripod somewhere else and control it via the application it also
does allow you to go into the advanced settings and control just a few more other options in here
so watermark you can put that on there too if you wanted to the file format so you can change
that over to mp4 for example if you're a pc user this is probably the best format to use the color
white balance a few other different controls in there you would normally get with camera settings
format your micro sd card device information it's all in there and you can even see down
the bottom here the free available storage so it is a handy app to use so here we are with
the gimbal now in follow mode this is 4k 60 frames per second you can see it's very very smooth here
now using the joystick you can pan around now i wish there was a setting that we could make this
just a little bit slower because it's basically just an on or off switch to turn it you can see
and for me that's way too fast i'd like a real slow pan feature or we could just tweak it down
a little bit with some advanced settings so that's as far as the gimbal will go on that side on the
right there and here it is over to the left which in fact keeps going right around so i can see
myself then and i'll just bring that back and i'll demonstrate what it's like the smoothness of it so
this is in the follow mode so it's going to keep the camera in the same direction no matter really
what i'm doing so i'm going to do a fast-paced jog now a bit of a run it's not really a sprint
and you can see quite smooth that footage there now with the gimbal of course you can point it
in all sorts of angles so i can just have it now pointing to the side and looking at the
um the shops there restaurant bars as i walk along and quite smooth footage
i'm really up to you what you want to do with this and i can just pan around here slowly myself
which is what i would do instead of using the joystick to pan
i would simply just manually move it around myself and you can get those nice smooth pans
as you can see doesn't tend to look too bad with a bit of practice you can get this down
and make it really nice and smooth it's also useful for taking images of things right now
for example of this little lighthouse i can keep it centered more or less as i walk around here
with the gimbal getting like a 360 degree view so these are the handy things you can do with
a gimbal keeping this in the shot here with the follow mode i have it in the follow mode and this
is in the vloggers position so the camera is facing me and i do have the face tracking on
so it should keep my face in focus now all the time here so the good thing about the gimbal
is that if you double tap the joystick that will recenter it so just tap tap will recenter
and if you do a triple tap which i just did now it'll flip it around so you can go from a vloggers
mo here to straight out looking ahead of you and i'll triple tap again and then that brings me
back into the shot here which is rather handy so just going to power up these stairs
rapid movements like this how smooth will it be and then go down again
three axis gimbal with the electronic image stabilization definitely helping out here
and on to low light performance so right now difficult conditions where it is bright with
street lights it doesn't look too bad but you can see in the dark areas that the little sensor
is definitely struggling and it doesn't look quite as smooth as during daytime so i'll triple tap now
and that will recenter and i'll do that again there we go to flip it around a little bit
myself here you can see that yes for selfie footage in low light these kind of conditions
struggling it's not really making me out that good i'd probably have to go over to the pro mode
or just keep myself in the light like right now you can see me a little bit
better definitely struggling so i will tap now then three times flip it around
look at a hit and at least the three axis gimbal here is keeping things
steady
so i love the compact size of this i mean it just fits in the palm of your hand i mean look
at how small this is now of course it has the three excess gimbal so no matter how i move my
hand at the moment you can see up or down it's keeping that camera level keeping it straight
either side as well so that is why the stability of it is quite good not just a normal camera with
electronic image stabilization which it does have but also the gimbal there three
axis gimbal helping with those movements of course so you can set it up to do time lapses
as i showed you and moving around you've got the follow modes and things you can make quite smooth
motions and the stability of it doesn't look too bad especially for hand held even when i was
running walking along quite quickly it took away a lot of those shocks and the trimmers
giving us quite usable footage there now with the 4k 60 frames per second footage i did notice
that the sharpness of it so the detail tended to be just lacking a little bit i felt for 4k
would like to see a little sharper but i guess it's down to the limitations of such a small
sensor which is yes a 12 megapixel sensor from sony so battery life is up to 3.6 hours so just
over three and a half hours at 1080p now for 4k it drops down to then about two and
a half hours is what i'm calculating seeing with this shooting at 4k 60 which is still ample and
plenty i believe out of this so that is the pocket 2 here from feiyutech i hope you did
