Thank you for this video, I was desperately searching someone that actually dove with the pocket and not pretended to do so while on a pool...
UNFORTUNATELY my prediction was correct: the UW mode crippled the Pocket's stabilization, especially on the vertical axis.
I guess I was right to buy an additional Osmo Action for diving, EiS will definetely work better (like on the GoPro) BUT I haven't yet managed to 'swim' with it for more than 10mn without fogging, even with 3 anti fog inserts! I believe DJI's UW case (mine is 3d party) should have some kind of heat transfer system between the OA metalic filter directly to the sea water otherwise fogging will make filming underwater impossible (the Osmo Action gets very, very hot).
It's interesting to me that it's fogging up that much. I don't have the Osmo Action but you bring up a good point with the heat transfer. I wonder how GoPro got around this problem, since I rarely see my case fog up unless I'm starting in a humid area when closing the case.
I still prefer tossing the Osmo Pocket into a bag for travel not involving scuba rather than the GoPro because of the time lapse feature and also I don't have any accessories like a pole mount. It also feels weird to me pulling out a Hero and waving it around while the Pocket is really tiny.
I highly recommend the Hero 7 Black for scuba, not sure what the Hero 8 brings new to the table but I guess I'll have to check that out. |
