A bit of tech with this new product unveiled today by DJI which might be VERY helpful for those of you who take pictures or videos in the parks, specially now that all kind of tripods are forbidden by Disney.
DJI is the company doing the famous drones so they sure know what stabilization means, and it uses the same 20MP sensor than the DJI Mavic Pro or Mavic Air drones. Certainly not as good to make movies than a camera with a full frame sensor and big lenses but to make smooth movies on the go or in the parks coasters and have something light with you, it might work, we’ll see what will say the reviews. That said, it’s probably more a device for sports shooting or vloggers but at $349 it might worth a closer look. Have a look at the B&H article HERE and the official page HERE.
"As the name suggests, the Osmo Pocket is so compact it literally fits inside your pocket (or purse, or pack). At 4.8" tall ( 12 cm ) and weighing 4 oz ( 116 Gr ), the Pocket is the smallest 3-axis stabilized handheld camera DJI has ever designed, and quite possibly the smallest mechanical gimbal available on the market. Despite its pocket portability and small stature, the Pocket packs a ton of impressive features and specs you would expect to find in much larger devices.
Transform life’s moments into a cinematic memory in just seconds. Meet Osmo Pocket, the smallest 3-axis stabilized handheld camera DJI has ever designed. Able to capture stunning images thanks to a 1/2.3-inch sensor and 80° wide-angle lens, the Osmo Pocket is small enough to fit in your pocket and powerful enough to share your best moments at any time, no matter where life takes you."
Here is the official video presentation for the DJI Osmo Pocket, which shows what it can do. It's probably not the right device to film in rather dark attractions like Haunted Mansion or Pirates of Caribbean but it's probably perfect for outdoor rides like Big Thunder Mountain or others outdoor coasters. Have a look!
Here is a first "real" review of the new DJI Osmo Pocket with non-official footage filmed in Bristol, UK, and not specially on a sunny day. Yes, i know this is my fourth post on this DJI Osmo Pocket but i truly think it can be an interesting little camera if it lives to the expectations. And a light one, and don't we all need light photo materials when we spend days in the park? Again, certainly not a nighttime camera but i would say: so far, so good, for daylight shooting. You can also find others official videos filmed in perfect and sunny weather condition on the official page HERE.
This new DJI Osmo Pocket has in fact a competitor, the GoPro HERO 7 Black, which has a super smooth function though it's not mounted on a gimbal. Here is a video showing comparison tests footage between the two:
