Hi guys, I’m looking at buying the osmo pocket and just wondering if anyone can tell me what they are like for doing night photography and videos ?

Hello and good day FHD. Thank you for choosing the DJI Osmo Pocket.  I hope you'll get the best recommendation here from our valued DJI Members and Customers who owned and experience night photography using the said device. In addition I will be posting a DJI Forum thread on how to take crystal clear night photos with your DJI osmo pocket created by Mauros Films. Thank you for your support.

I went traveling with the OP for a month and shot many low light and evening shots. Check out the videos in my thread here, they are all un-edited direct upload from the files from the OP.

I can show you what it's like for night photography.

Straight from camera.



Panorama



3x3 cropped



Light painted with a torch



Under ambient floodlighting



Some are hand held and some are tripod mounted.

Here is a night video I had taken in December right after I got the Osmo Pocket. I was very impressed by the quality of the night video.

I can't emphasize enough that shutter times have to be at their maximum to keep the ISO values down so most of the time tripods are essential. Not much use for anything not static unless you need some motion in the shots.  The white balance though I think is very good, even in mixed lighting conditions as is the lack of flare when facing lighting. In all, I'm pleased, especially with the panorama capability. Even so, I still carry around my DSLR for those shots where the Pocket has difficulty but it has meant I have got a reasonable wide angle option that even the DSLR can't match when taking a 3x3, and with less side to side distortion to correct in post. While the background is dark the subjects are under floodlights. If I need an exposure of more than eight seconds, that's when the DSLR comes out.  The other thing that amazes me is how much of a frame I can get in focus. For me, I think the Osmo Pocket outstrips its price point but it does have limitations and occasionally will trip up and not co-operate. I wouldn't want to take anything that had movement in it.

Hey thanks for that guys. I think it should work for I want to do.

Cheers
