The DJI Pocket 2 is still AWESOME in 2024!

I looked at a Pocket 3 and compared it to my Pocket 2 and decided not to upgrade, not because of the price but because to me the main advantage of a Pocket 2 or 1 over a phone on a gimbal was that they were discreet. To me the 3 reached a size, especially with the horizontal screen, when it was as obvious as just putting my iPhone 15 on a gimbal. With the pocket 2 I could walk around and very few people would notice. The Pocket 3 is obviously a better camera, but the 2 is good enough to shoot 4K videos at up to 60 fps for YouTube so it's still good enough. At night it does struggle a bit but just keep the frame rate lower and use 'High Quality' mode and it still does a good job, imo. Or I just use my iPhone 15 on a gimbal.

I'm a hobbyist and picked up the pocket 2 a couple weeks ago renewed. It's amazing and does everything i could even ask all at a fantastic price.

I got the 3 and filmed a 2 week trek with it in Nepal. It worked great and looked great but there is one big problem (in my opinion) with the pocket 3. The 3 blurs out the background too much. When you are vlogging you can't really see the surroundings on it which is silly in my opinion. I think the 2 had just the correct balance which is why I've just re-purchased a pocket 2 for my next trip.

Definitely agree! Although i love the upgrades and the new look of the 3, i just purchased a second hand pocket 2 instead. It was partly due to price as it was less than half the price, however i feel the quality upgrade just doesnt match the price increase! Cant wait to get mine, taking it on my trip next year to south korea and japan!

I'm thinking of getting the pocket 2 because of your video..Thank you 😃 question tho? will I be able to download videos that I took on the pocket 2 ,to my phone ?

It’s definitely easy to fall into the trap in wanting the latest and greatest. I’ve seen 5-7 year old GoPro footage that looks amazing yet a new one is always being released

it's good that the new camera exists simply because if you lose or break your pocket 2 there is something to replace it with. i was kinda growing a bit anxious about my pocket 2 before the release of the 3. i think the 3 is phenomenal, but i'm not buying it either before my old one breaks, hopefully a long time. anything other than weight and minimum focusing distance, it seems to be an improvement. the pocket 3's footage can be spotted from a mile away, it has a very signature purple tint and overexposure by default. i don't think this is a bad thing, but it's a quirk of that camera. the pocket 2's footage however is difficult to pin down by looking at the footage for anyone other than someone who owned and used a pocket 2: it can easily fool you into thinking the footage is from a larger camera. i don't think the creator combo is a necessity, but a natural density filter is, and those aren't cheap for the new camera either. i'd personally choose no creator combo, just an nd 64 filter, and if the dual version of the wireless microphone they have (this wasn't yet available last i've checked, but that was months ago already)

loved this and it was all very helpful and rather not need to upgrade unless i cant live without a flip screen which i can

Does DJI Record they have YouTube video could upload to transfer for the files?

I just started a walking video channel and first time made a video on great light conditions and using pro mode with my own settings for the suitable weather. I watched the video on my 4k tv and was myself amazed how good the quality on the Pocket 2 is 😅.

Highly agreed!!!

Is this waterproof? I just purchase mine last week.

How to zoom?
