The best way I can describe spending a month with the DJI Osmo Pocket camera is a feeling of wonderment and shame. Wonder, because of how incredible and professional seemingly everything your record on it looks, no matter how bad you try to make it not and shame as you come to realise just how bad all of those videos you shot on your smartphone really are.<\/p>\n
Stabilisation my friends. A videographer’s best friend and worst nightmare. Ten years ago to shoot anything remotely stable required man-sized rigs holding at the best DSLRs costing thousands of dollars. Today that and the camera have been literally miniaturised into your pocket.<\/p>\n
Borrowing from its industry-leading drone tech, DJI have seemingly ripped the camera and its 3-axis gimbal off of a Spark or Mavic Air and popped it onto a slim, ergonomic stick that just happens to have a tiny 1″ touch screen and battery inside it.<\/p>\n
