I honestly can relate all these points as I posted on a previous post with similar reason why I have thought of returning mine. The form factor of carrying stabilized 4k 60 in my pocket in such a small device is what is holding me back from returning it. It has potential for some b roll footage, and I no longer will need to carry my heavy gimbal set up for some simple shots. I experimented with the wireless module and it's a game changer. It's a bummer that in order to access most features you have to use your phone, but then I come to realize that if that's the case why not just take video with my iPhone X instead. Sure my phone can do most of the features that the osmo pocket offers except gimbal stabilization, but for stabilized video I will still need to carry my phone gimbal and still deal with the OIS issues of the iPhone. The osmo pocket is not a perfect camera, and I cannot ignore its shortcomings. Then I began experimenting with the timelapse mode and oh man, it's amazing the things you can capture with such small device. I even ordered some filters today just to test it out. I still have 2 weeks to play with it before I make up my mind and hopefully it does not disappoint. I don't want to sound overly enthusiastic about the osmo pocket because as much as I love it, I hate it.
I also own the Gopro Hero 7 Black and is a great camera but the stabilization suffers in low light. That is another reason I want to give the osmo pocket a second chance and also because of the straight horizon you can get from a 3 axis gimbal. Hopefully DJI can fix some of the most crucial shortcomings of this camera in the upcoming firmwares and maybe you can reconsider. |
