Five years ago, DJI paired its super-stable drone cameras with a postage-stamp-size screen to create the Osmo Pocket, a tiny vlogger cam.
While the baby steadicam now starts at $519 — a huge hike over its $349 predecessors — it’s got a way larger sensor, way larger touchscreen, faster autofocus, far faster charging, more battery life, built-in wireless, built-in joystick, a third microphone, and a nifty rotating screen that satisfyingly clicks into portrait or landscape while automatically switching your filming aspect ratio.
And if you want to use your phone’s screen instead, you no longer have to buy a special wireless handle module to make remote monitoring work!
There’s a $49 wide-angle lens that magnetically snaps onto the existing one; the $519 basic kit comes with a basic extension that adds a 1/4-inch tripod mount thread and redirects the USB-C charging port; and there’s a longer $69 battery handle that extends battery life by up to 70 percent and adds the same 1/4-inch mount on the bottom.
While I absolutely want my friend, colleague, and fellow DJI watcher Vjeran Pavic to put it through its paces by filming some Verge footage (did I mention it can shoot in 10-bit D-Log and HLG and supports timecodes?
I 3D printed a little custom mount to attach my review unit to some GoPro harnesses; can’t wait to try out some gimbal moves in a future Verge social video.
