I have tried to verify how securely the lens stays in the plastic sleeve. It detaches with a small knock when the camera isn't there, but seems to stay sufficiently in my use. However, I noticed that some Pocket 2 reviewer had put the camera to sleeve the same way the OSMO Pocket has been stored, instead the opposite way shown in the Pocket 2 manual, thus making it prone to detach the lens from the sleeve when taken out. Of course everybody here has read the manual before the use and knows how to use the storage sleeve. Right?
The pocket 2 can be inserted into its sleeve either way round, I've found. If the wide angle lens, ( or an ND filter, presumably) is still attached to the camera when switched off, it detects this and "parks" with the lens facing outward, so it doesn't get knocked off by the parking manoeuvre. I really wouldn't want to carry it about like that, with the attachment facing outward - it's just ASKING to get knocked off and lost.
Only solution is to remove the lens attachment and store it inside the pocket on its designated magnetic pad. Even there, though, my experience is that it isn't sufficiently secure. |
