This is Rochester's, Charles Dickens Christmas Festival.

Really this event is used to generate visitors to our small town during the Christmas period to shop and use the local restaurants of which there are many.
Local people dress up in period costume. These are enthusiasts, not paid perfromers. It's a peoples festival if you like. There are one or two paid street performers but not many.
Mainly it's just local folk.
This experience has been good for me finding the limits of the Osmo Pocket in failing light. Seeing how the grain increases along with the ISO values. Focusing in lower light was reasonably good as was the ability of the Osmo Pocket to reduce flare from lighting pointing directly at the camera and watching ISO values jump around where the shutter exposure times and ISO values were not locked down manually. It has taught me what to do in future to prevent some of the things you will see happening in this video. Unexpected problems from floor lighting pointing straight up for instance. Mainly recorded witout an external mic except for the candllelight parade and without the use of a phone made recording in a crowd a good experience as people didn't realise they were being recorded. as an alternative to street photography, I love the experience.

Nice video.

I  have to say that I am rather impressed with the dynamic range of the little sucker!

Nicely done, thanks for sharing.

Hi Curt.
I did shoot in D Cine-like but didn't grade it.
I did not use the 'Fine' setting when recording.
It's 'as is' out of the camera.
I may try to Neat Video it later on if I get the plugin to try to get rid of some of the noise but considering, I'm quite pleased with the results but really love that the Osmo Pocket still gets mainly ignored unless I draw attention to it.
Priceless!

Hi ray.

Footage looks great. There's no way you should expect something so small to be so good. The Pocket is definitely the best of all the small cameras with regard pure picture quality.

Cheers,
Dave.

I'm always impressed with this in low light, always use it on a night out! I do set the camera to manual once it gets really dark and set the ISO to 800,

Ray, how dare you, made a wondeful clip, Merry Christmas :-)

Hello and good day Ray-CubeAce. Thank you for sharing this amazing video you filmed using your DJI Osmo Pocket. Great work and Merry Christmas. .

Thanks David.
It's not the grain that bothered me, it's my own stupidity at letting stray light alter the ISO settings and shutter exposure times altering the brightness of scenes instead of keeping the exposure steady.
Not the Pockets fault but my fat fingers

Hi Ben.
What fps do you use?
I was hoping to get away with ISO 400 if I locked down the shutter exposure times because of the street lighting such as it was..

For a 400 ISO i'd use 25 FPS. I don't think 400 will be enough though. 800 is fine.

Thank you for your information. I will try those settings out.
