Hello fellow Pocket users -

I've been experimenting with the various frame rates and resolutions of the Pocket, and I've noticed something a bit curious with its video. With every passing second of video there's a "pulse", or bump, or whatever you want to call it, where the exposure gets a touch brighter then (at the second mark) drops back to its base exposure. It's most noticeable around the edges of the video when recording at 60fps. When I view the videos in Premiere and watch the Lumetri Scopes (with the Pocket filming a static scene mounted on a tripod) you can see the Vectorscope get slowly brighter then drop back like clockwork.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

video sample?

Hello and good day. I am sorry to know that you are having this issues with your DJI Osmo Pocket. Can you please post a sample footage for us to be able to check and to help you further? Thank you.

Sure, happy to. Here's an ungraded, straight-from-camera MOV file. Pay particular attention to the trees above the stream.

I posted another one demonstrating the Slowmotion function. Again, weird pulsing in the darker areas of the footage.

it could be that it needs more bitrate. Nature scenes with a lot of detail, trees, moving water... needs higher bitrate. I think it would be better with H265 if it would be possible
