I picked up an Osmo Pocket from Best Buy over the weekend and I already have mixed thoughts about this camera. I love the fact that is tiny and discreet, whereas my Osmo Mobile 2 grabs a lot of attention in public.
However, as much as I love the form factor of the osmo pocket, I feel it has a lot of shortcomings and I'm undecided if I should keep it or return it before the 15 day return policy. Even with the new firmware, I have auto focus issues, the slow-motion is not what I expected (low video bitrate and extremely cropped), and face tracking is a hit or miss. Where is Cine-like D? Why does it heat up a lot after a minute of use? Why is 24p only available under Pro settings? Based on the posts and comments found in this forum, overall I feel that DJI sold me a half baked product where they intend to fix known issues with future firmwares. Also, I read about the battery is only good for 400 charges? What happens next? I intend to always use an external charger. Does this degrade the battery even more? And last, the beep is very annoying. I went to a wedding this weekend and I felt the beep kept interrupting the ceremony and people looked at me like saying "get the hell out of here." The osmo pocket wasn't discreet at all. I don't want this post to sound like a rant, but I'm just concerned if I made the right decision to have bought this camera or simply return it and don't look back while I still can. Come on DJI, talk to me.
