If the audio / video sync at the file split is perfect, then that's not a concern to me Otherwise, it's pretty essential. And if the wide lens doesn't focus in the first place - do we know this one way or the other - no point in having focus control!
Hello there Tide. Thank you for reaching out and for creating this poll. I hope that our engineers can give out there insights with regards to this matter. Thank you for your support and enjoy with the DJI Pocket 2.
What we saw on all the reviews are still beta firmware so I'm going to hold off on any request till I actually have a unit in hand and had some time to play with it.
Hi Tide. I think I'm with Wiz 33 on this one. I think not having a 4GB split may have an impact on those not able to process such files so while I'd be happy with it, it could put others off. Also how much heat comes off that tiny little sensor? I don't want to have to cope with dealing with hot pixels if that is why the exposure time is still 8 seconds. The rest, if possible seem reasonable.
The 4GB split has to do with the format of the SD card. The only format that supports files larger than 4GB is the NTFS. But this is only for windows. FAT16 or 32 are both for Macs as well. Thats why companies are supporting them.

Pocket 2 also supports exFAT format as well which is capable of file size larger than 4GB and works on both Mac and Windows.

The problem with large file sizes is people have to have a way to play them back. Not everyone is using equipment that could handle file sizes over 4GB. If anyone is still using a 32 bit operating system they can not access files of over 4GB.

Yes legacy support is one of the benefit.
If I remember correctly, DJI already answered it in forum before that Pocket works in FAT with SD card below 64GB and exFAT with 64GB and above.
And the reason they still split the file in exFAT is for stability in recording large file (if corrupt only portion of video will lost) and as you said the legacy support.
But there was a user report that split file got a few frame of sound missing. If it is fixed with Pocket 2 then no problem. (I am not really shooting that long of the scene but some do so...)
Surprised they omitted Webcam as all other camera manufacturers have recently implemented it. Would be great to track your face and automatically move the gimbal during a long WebEx when you move around a little bit, you would stay center screen. DJI has the option to one up others as they cannot auto track with a standard digital camera (unless they attach a gimbal which is a bit overkill for a WebEx).
"2. HDR video will be available in a future firmware update."
Future is actually when?
The funny thing when you buy those toys is that they are supposed to have any feature according to their presentation on the website, but nothing is actually working at the maximum quality or they are completely missing.
I am buying the product with less features, I should get a discount. I will send a complaint to amazon to get partial refund due to the missing features.
By the way, they talk about bigger sensor, more light, better quality. It literally sucks in low light. My 4years old phone shots at the same way, honestly.
I think the most urget thing to do is to add some contrast to the Normal color profile, which appears to be too flat.
Normal profile should be suitable for using straight out of the sd card, without any modification and, as it is now, is a way worst than the original Osmo Pocket.
In addition, it would be nice to have a fix for the slight barrel distortion present in the Dji pocket 2.

Another suggestion:
Since the new mini joystick is totally digital in its behavior (compared to the analogue wheel of the original osmo pocket), I think it would be nice to have the chance to change not only to the speed of the camera tilt, but also the smoothness.
With that, I mean a function allowing the tilt to automatically and gradually reduce its speed to zero when the user stops operating the joystick.
It looks bad as it is right now, with the camera movement suddenly stopping.

That's true, current joystick cannot ease in and out.
I will add it to the poll.
Dji needs to fix the tracking. Pocket 1 has a good tracking feature, but Pocket 2 it is almost unusable. I just tried today again, tracking a not moving object while I was movig the Pocket 2. Well, after a few seconds it lost the object. And it jumps a lot, not smooth at all.
Add Getsure controlled shooting modes . This is strange to not have it . all DJI gimbals and all their drones have it . why you cripple your own product , and in fact not cheapest from your line . Osmo mobile 3 have it but cost way less.
A little late, but how about fixing the ND filter detection algorithm so that it does something useful, like park the head backwards when you turn off the Pocket. And maybe even automatically set the shutter speed to twice the frame rate when you put a ND filter on.
Having the do-it-all handle connected for wireless mic drains the battery enough as is.. Connecting the phone via do-it-all not only makes the Pocket as hot as a charcoal hand-warmer, but it’s battery life gives out just as fast too...
It could easily be “triple press” of the “FN” button as we do not need 2 (‘camera icon’) different commands to ‘flip’ the gimbal like we have in the current configuration. It could also be “double or triple press” of camera icon button.
I observed the following or maybe I overlooked something: Did I understand right that there is no way to see on the Pocket 2 display in which of the 3 gimbal modes I currently am?
Therefore the only way to find out is by toggling each time through the 3 modes and stop at the desired one.
Sounds like a great upgrade for the next firmware update to place a small icon next to the battery icon indicating in which of the 3 modes I currently am.
for me, the first priorities would be:
-fix active track
-better image quality
-custom color profile (possibility to customize contrast, saturation, gamma, brightness, sharpness and so on)
