This was not planned. The bride literally contacted me the morning of the wedding and asked if I brought my drone, which I replied "I bring my drone everywhere." She only wanted a few shots after the ceremony, but since I had my Osmo Pocket along I thought I'd shoot a little bit of video from my chair, but was not going to walk around or get in anyones way. Pretty much I was not going to LOOK like a videography, but I'd shoot a little without distracting people.
So here's the video. Turned out good enought for not planning anything... BUT there are several scenes where the background is in focus and the subject is not. So that's a little disappointing. I should have used a cell phone connected to it so make sure I can tap the subject to bring it in focus. Is that the only way to make sure the object in the foreground is focused?

Nice work bing

Nice video, many congrats to the young couple. What is your firmware version?

Tap the Pocket's own screen to focus.
Beautifully done video - actually made me a little teary! - you showed the emotions of the day very well.  Usually I hate slow motion but here it was totally appropriate.  They deserved a sunnier day - but of course that can actually make video / photography a bit more difficult.

Good to know. I guess that tiny screen is hard to tell when it's actually in focus. I need to start using it with an attached phone more but I think it draws more attention then. I like how discrete the tiny little osmo pocket is.
Thanks for the feedback and tips.

That was nice of you to capture those moments for your friends.  Nice video

Thanks for sharing your work and it's glad that you've used our DJI product to document the precious moment of your friend. Nice work!

Yeah, its not ideal, but it can do AFS it AFC is deciding not to play well.

For an impromptu wedding video, you did a good job.

Thanks. I just made another video with the Osmo Pocket at a brewery grand opening. and the place was PACKED with people. Not sure the Pocket is ideal for really tight spots because it doesn't focus great at close distances, and the camera is not as wide as the GoPro.
I definitely need more practice at close distances with the Pocket before I shoot anything like this again. Thanks for your input.

Yeah, it's an 80 degree field of view. In situations like that, I just attach a phone. I got a grip attachment as well, since the phone port adapter makes me worried without some extra support.

It's a good idea. I need to practice with attaching the phone and using it to correct focus (but I don't like doing it because it seems unstable and I don't want to risk breaking the USB-C port of my Pixel 3.) Which grip attachment are you using?

Nicely done. thanks for sharing.

Great video.

Nicely done - thanks again for sharing!

Very nice. I'm thinking, once I get my Part 107, seeing if I can find a couple planning a wedding, and asking if I can practice some wedding videography with them, on a "no guarantees on the quality, but I'll give you what I get, and my only charge will be the experience and learning I receive from the project."
