Affordable Camera with built-in Gimbal = DJI Pocket!

How many times did you want to take that cinematic shot with camera movement on your DSLR and felt let down when you review the footage later?

How many times have you considered buying a huge gimbal for that already huge DSLR, and dropped the idea as impractical?

What if I tell you that there is a decent camera with a built-in gimbal that you can buy at half the price of the cheapest DSLR?

Not only that, it’s so little that the entire set (camera with built-in gimbal) can almost fit into your pocket. And it weighs just over a hundred grams. And it’s made by a reputed camera (drone) manufacturer.

If you are a traveler like me, you’ll easily realize the practical value of an inexpensive camera + gimbal setup.

So ladies and gentlemen, introducing DJI Pocket 2!

Affordable Camera with built-in Gimbal = DJI Pocket!

Here are 10 Reasons why I’d Ditch my DSLR for the DJI Pocket 2 Camera with built-in Gimbal –

  1. It can shoot 4K video at 60fps. It can even shoot slow-motion videos up to 240 fps – how many DSLRs can do that?
  2. It’s so small (fits into a pocket), light-weight, and has a camera with gimbal built right into it. Imagine buying a camera gimbal and carrying it around with you while traveling… Practically the DJI Pocket 2 can be taken almost anywhere and used effectively.
  3. Being so small, it’s easy to hide this camera in your shirt pocket. At the least, it doesn’t attract anyone’s attention unlike a DSLR with a huge gimbal.
  4. This device can be your cameraman. You can place it somewhere and set the camera to automatically track you, even while you keep moving. Or you can track an object – you move around the object and the camera automatically faces the object throughout.
  5. The DJI Pocket 2 can do automatic motion time-lapse. You can keep the camera moving (even automatically) while shooting a time-lapse!
  6. It’s possible to connect the mobile phone to the device (USB-C, Wireless) and store photos and videos directly to it. You can then use the app provided by the company to edit and share your creatives instantly.
  7. You can also connect your phone wirelessly or buy the optional creator kit and connect the wireless microphone to record videos with clear voice while you are speaking from a distance. This is a very useful feature for travel bloggers and vloggers.
  8. While it may not be as rugged as an action camera, there is an optional waterproof case that can be used to record videos up to 60m underwater.
  9. Due to its shape, holding ease, and small size, It’s easy to rotate the camera while moving in order to get different angles while shooting video. Add the optical stabilization provided by the gimbal and you can even shoot smooth footage while walking.
  10. To shoot instantly. there is a small built-in display that gives you an idea of what you are shooting. If that’s not sufficient, you can always connect a phone and use its display to see what you are recording, more clearly.

On the cons side, with the 1/1.7″ sensor the quality of footage may not be as good as a DSLR – especially with what’s possible with some of its specialized lenses. Also, the low-light performance should be better on a DSLR.

At the end of the day, this device enables you to take it with you almost everywhere and start recording smooth cinematic video instantly without attracting unwanted attention with bulky shooting gear.

Go ahead and buy this DJI Pocket 2 camera with built-in gimbal if you are a youtube creator, semi-professional, or if you need a supporting camera. I think am going to buy one soon.
