The Osmo Pocket is a tiny gimbal camera that beats GoPro

DJI has just announced the launch of a very small three-axis cardanic camera that fits in the palm of your hand. In addition to being compact as a GoPro, the small stabilizer with its own camera can hit the front of the camera with an amazing stabilizer, which passes Hero 7.

Drum Mavic 2 Camera Zoom

Leaving the carrycot aside for a moment, the camera the size of your big toe has a 1 / 2.3-inch sensor and takes pictures up to 12 megapixels. It may sound small, but the size of this sensor is identical to that of the Mavic 2 Zoom UAV team, launched this year, and the Chinese brand itself.

In the videos, the new Osmo Pocket generates up to 4K with 60 frames per second and a bitrate of 100 Mbps. The Chinese DJI basically took the camera with the optical zoom of the drone, took out the mobile lens and placed it in a gimbal the size of a TV remote control in its living room.

The internal battery can record up to two hours and thirty minutes of 4K recording at 30 ips and the set comes with some software features also present on drones, such as tracking objects in the scene with ActiveTrack (it automatically rotates the camera is marked) and you can create a timelapse with two different points and Osmo Pocket follows from point A to point B alone.

Finally, he is the only one able to create a panorama and he associates up to nine images to create one. The gimbal itself makes movement between each of them, to leave everything uncut up or down.

All of this can be controlled and adjusted using the small screen located in front of it or a smartphone connected to the USB-C (or Lightning for iPhones), depending on the phone number. DJI camera app.

Agree, but does that strike GoPro?

GoPro offers a series of accessories that turn the product into a camera that stays stuck anywhere and stays fixed. DJI has done more or less the same thing and has released several products that make the Osmo Pocket stick to the dog's collar, to the cyclist's face or to the car itself.

Some accessories offer remote controls for the camera functions and others even insert an ND filter that helps make the sky more blue. After all, HDR is useful, but it can sometimes interfere.

And, yes, it has a waterproof case that allows the Osmo Pocket to dive up to 60 feet deep. You can plunge your belly into the sea, without trembling and be entitled to the cry of pain of vermilion in the belly.

Unfortunately, all this still can not be bought in Brazil, but packaging with the device costs $ 349. To quote today's quote (28), the value would be close to R $ 1.4 million and does not include the accessories I've mentioned For comparison, the GoPro Hero 7 Black, featuring an excellent stabilizer and not real (electronic), costs about $ 2,500.

DJI is new on this market of action cameras, but at a lower cost and with a real mechanical gimbal, I think you can watch the brand well. Not to mention that she's dominating the drone market, that GoPro has largely failed with the very bad karma of Karma – excuse me, I have not resisted.
