- This is the DJI Pocket 2.
Now, it's very similar to the original DJI Pocket,
however, they've made some massive upgrades
that really makes this a much more usable camera,
and something that I think
a lot of you are gonna be happy with.
All right guys, let's get into it.
(suspenseful music)
Look how small it is, and you can see yourself.
- So cute.
- It's so cute.
- So I've always been a fan of this Pocket camera.
Pocket 2's pretty much the exact same thing,
it looks identical, it's slightly bigger but not enough
that you're really gonna notice any difference.
However, there's some big things they've improved on it.
Now, I really like this camera because it's a gimbal.
So you get super stable footage,
you get that horizon completely flat
anytime you shoot with it,
and it's so small that turn this off
it's like the size of a toothbrush.
So when I'm out hiking, when I'm out doing things,
when I have my backpack on,
this camera always just sits right here
in one of the pockets,
and that's why it's called a pocket camera,
'cause you really could put this in any of your pockets
and be able to pull it out and get super stable footage
anywhere you're at.
This camera shoots 4K 60, so you can get slow-motion in 4K,
and then it obviously has a lot of features
that come with a gimbal.
So you get things like moving time-lapses
and also ActiveTrack, so you can track your subject
and be able to have this camera just sitting in one spot,
and it will follow your subject around.
So for a lot of creators out there
it's a great choice because it's so small,
but then you get these added features
rather than just a camera on a tripod.
So we just got to the pool,
we're gonna do a little swim sesh.
I mean, the first thing that you notice
right out of the box just without anything added on,
the lens is much wider, you could actually vlog with it
without adding an extra-wide lens, and you get a good shot.
Now for creators, this camera's awesome
because it's a great little vlogging camera.
However, the original Pocket, the lens wasn't wide enough.
So that's one of the key things that you're gonna notice
immediately without the wide lens adapter
which they provide with this camera,
this is a 20 millimeter lens.
So, this right here is a 20 millimeter lens.
This wide lens which is perfect for vlogging,
you can get a good shot with your arm stretched out,
is what they included in the DJI Pocket 2.
Now, DJI also includes a wide lens adapter,
and this comes with the Pocket 2,
and it makes it a 15 millimeter equivalent.
So you pop this on with magnets,
and now you have a 15 millimeter lens
so you get an even wider field of view.
So this is cute, this is the wireless audio attachment.
So you don't have to attach anything to this gimbal
to get wireless audio, you just get this little box.
- (indistinct) the word you use in a review?
I'm gonna call it the skunk 'cause it's black and white,
and probably sounds great.
So he's walking over there and he wants me to keep talking,
so I'm gonna keep talking (kids shouting indistinctly)
'cause I'm the wife of a YouTuber,
and I'm being gimbled right now,
he's walking around me with the gimbal.
- This is cool because it's just like the Rode Wireless GO,
except for it's built into the gimbal
so you don't have to like have any cables hanging down
or anything like that.
And on top of it, you can also add a lavalier mic.
You can stick this on your hip
and have a lavalier mic that goes up
under your shirt. - More like something
sticking out of your hip. - and be more discreet.
I also put this on my backpack a lot of times
with the Rode Wireless GO,
but this is actually smaller than the Road Wireless GO.
So how this wireless audio works
is that the bottom of the DJI Pocket 2 is removable,
and you have different attachments,
and one of these is a wireless audio attachment.
So it extends a little bit longer,
but it's actually a receiver,
and then all you have is the transmitter,
so you never have any audio attachments
hanging off the gimbal.
Now also between these two cameras
this has improved autofocus, so it's gonna work much nicer.
I've been out shooting with this,
I've shot in a bunch of different situations
and yeah the autofocus works.
It snaps on, it locks on,
and you always have an in-focus shot.
I haven't really had any issues,
for those of you who are vloggers,
for those of you who are creating content,
wanna film yourself with this stretched out
just an arm's length away,
it's a great little camera to get good looking footage,
and you have a screen.
So you have a monitor right here,
you can see what you're filming,
you can see if you're frame-center in the shot.
You can also turn on the ActiveTrack
by just tapping on the screen,
and keep yourself centered and just move this around,
and not have to worry about making sure that it's positioned
with you in the center of the frame at all times.
So with the ActiveTrack you get ActiveTrack 3.0.
So it's gonna be able to track smaller objects in your frame
with better accuracy.
So you can either just tap on the screen
when you're using the camera,
or if you could use your phone connected to it
you have a lot more flexibility,
'cause you can draw a box
around exactly what you wanna focus on,
and then the camera will move
to keep it in the center of the shot.
DJI has been working on their ActiveTrack features
in all of their cameras, whether it's drone,
and the gimbals, like the Ronin RS2 and the RSC2,
and with the Pocket,
all these cameras have such good tracking abilities now
that you can keep your subject centered
whenever you're shooting.
So DJI has definitely made some massive improvements
with this camera, and I'm excited to take it out
and really shoot with it in a bunch of different scenarios,
because this is the type of camera
that you just keep on you at all times.
It's right here in your backpack right at the front,
or in your pocket.
And for me, I prefer using this style of camera over a GoPro
because you could just get different types of footage.
You can do these motion time-lapses,
and you can do the tracking,
and also you get things like this joystick on the back
so you can control where the camera is pointing.
So instead of having a camera
where you physically have to move it,
it's a gimbal, and I like working with gimbals.
So for me, having a small lightweight gimbal
that can go anywhere, can shoot 4K 60,
this is a win-win for me,
and it's definitely a camera
that I'm gonna use all the time.
So guys, I'd love to hear your thoughts
about the DJI Pocket 2.
Is this a worthy upgrade for you?
Or if you already have the original Pocket
are you just gonna stick with this?
Let me know down in the comments
your thoughts about these cameras, and guys that is it,
I will see you on the next one.
- Is cute a word you would use in a review?
- [Jeven] I dunno- - I don't wanna be
in the video, I'm just asking you.
I feel like that's not a word you should use.
So I'm talking to the skunk
and it's a great accessory to my outfit.
Who needs a necklace when you can wear
this clip-on skunk mic.
- Now you can just walk in a circle around me.
See if you can get a perfect arc,
and I'll stand here with my hero pose.
- (laughs) With your hero pose.
I can't do it, I'm gonna step on the salsa.
So great, you can bring it anywhere,
which is so great for my lifestyle
'cause I love when you can bring your camera everywhere
and just use it all the time. - Everywhere.
So we're gonna the pumpkin patch and a zoo.
- It's very convenient you've been pulling it out
all day every day for the past three days
'cause it's been in your pocket.
