Swiping through all of the Pocket’s built-in settings is intuitive, too. The Pocket lasts for a couple of hours if you’re shooting HD video the battery drains significantly once you switch to 4K capture, and the Pocket can get toasty in 4K mode. There’s also a USB-C charging port on the bottom, and a slot for the microSD card on the side. Below the LCD screen, there are two buttons, one for powering on and off and toggling through certain functions (three presses on the plain button puts it into selfie mode, for example) and one for recording or shooting a still.

But the device itself also has a small LCD touchscreen, and after using the Pocket a few times I’m convinced that capturing video on the tiny thing itself is a large part of its charm. There are also extra controls within the Mimo app, so you’ll probably want to utilize those in certain settings. You can also attach a smartphone, via Lightning or USB-C, directly to the Osmo Pocket and use DJI’s Mimo app as a live viewfinder.

The Osmo Pocket captures 12-megapixel still images and, more notably, full 4K video at up to 60 frames per second. This isn’t the same kind of full-frame sensor you’d find in a serious camera, but it’s still a respectable size. Protruding from the stick is a slim, curved neck and a kind of mini-robot head that houses a 1 and 2/3-inch sensor. Except, the head of the Osmo Pocket isn’t a toothbrush. It feels you’re like holding a thick, rectangular toothbrush in your hand. The Osmo Pocket measures just 4.8 inches tall and weighs four ounces. Speaking of smartphones: The Osmo Pocket feels like it very well could go the way of the Flip, that handy pocket camera that was decimated by emerging smartphone technology. It supports a smartphone if you just want to shoot video with that but if you’re going to do that, you should at least consider the much-cheaper Osmo Mobile 2. It has some of the attributes of a newer GoPro, but its form factor and lack of waterproofing rule out some activities. And while the Pocket captures impressive footage and still photos, it’s a bit of a tweener device. You’ll almost certainly want to buy some accessories, too, if you want to maximize the Pocket. Also: It’s fun.īut! (You knew there was a but.) At $349, it’s not cheap. It’s easily gripable, definitely pocketable. It also stands out because of its diminutive size, as its name suggests. Some of these Osmo products support an existing smartphone others have built-in cameras themselves.

It’s the latest gadget in DJI’s Osmo line of handheld gimbals-tri-axis devices that tilt and pan and pitch along with the person who is shooting video, which helps keep the captured footage relatively stable and free of shakes. Also, it will appeal to a certain subset of tech buyers, people who care a lot about. Now picture a much, much smaller version of that a DJI device that doesn’t fly but still captures amazing, stable video. It’s an expensive, powerful, covetable gadget that appeals to a certain subset of tech buyers, like people who care a lot about capturing video in specific scenarios.
