DJI Pocket 2 Features
Pocket-Sized
DJI Pocket 2 is the ultimate portable camera gimbal for any adventure you have planned. It fits right in your pocket, perfect for taking anywhere and using it whenever inspiration strikes. Packing light for that weekend trip to the mountains? Not a problem; DJI Pocket 2 takes up next to no space!
Upgraded Sensor
We won’t start throwing boring specs at you, but we will quickly touch on one of the most exciting upgrades of DJI Pocket 2. The new mini camera gimbal comes with an exceptional 1/1.7-inch sensor. Why is that so important you ask? Well, the bigger sensor means you can carry on shooting in low-light situations and still get impressive results. From singing around the campfire with friends to exploring the star-studded sky, DJI Pocket 2 is the ultimate content creation tool for any time of the day.
3-Axis Stabilized Camera
DJI Pocket 2 features a 3-axis gimbal that ensures incredibly smooth footage, even if you’re rocking out at a concert or enjoying a city tour in a particularly bumpy cab. The motorized gimbal provides cinematic stabilization, which means you get as creative as you like with your shots.
High-Quality 64MP Images
Yep. You heard correctly. DJI Pocket 2 also supports breathtaking 64MP photos that ensure your content always looks the best. With this exceptional level of quality, all your friends and family can marvel at your latest adventures.
DJI Matrix Stereo
This is another big improvement from the original DJI Osmo Pocket. DJI Pocket 2 features an entirely new audio system that utilizes DJI Matrix Stereo technology. Four microphones are positioned in locations on the handle to offer better sound quality for your vlogs, videos, and moments of magic. DJI Pocket 2 can even be held while recording surround-sound audio, which means you can capture crystal-clear video and sound at the same time.
How does this all work? DJI Pocket 2 can adjust the direction of audio according to the camera’s position using SoundTrack, so you can get clear audio even while the camera is moving around. It’s a smart little addition that makes a big difference to vloggers, content creators, and filmmakers.
Before we move on to more DJI Pocket 2 features, there’s another nifty audio feature that’s worth talking about. DJI Pocket 2 comes with a new Audio Zoom function that adjusts the audio when you zoom in while filming. This creates a really impressive, dynamic sound effect that’s perfect for highlighting things in your footage. If you’re filming a chef in the kitchen or attending a music concert, Audio Zoom harmonizes your entire filmmaking experience.
ActiveTrack 3.0
Whether you’re filming a vlog with your boyfriend or girlfriend or chasing your playful puppy at the beach, ActiveTrack 3.0 will provide smooth footage that keeps your subject the star of the show. The latest version of ActiveTrack is even better at following a subject, which means you will never miss a shot again.
AI Editor
Not an A-list Hollywood director? Not to worry, DJI Pocket 2 has a special AI Editor that will automatically produce jaw-dropping clips made up of your best moments and the perfect music and transitions to match. This clever function is perfect for when you are traveling on the go and want to create and share your awesome clips effortlessly.
8x Zoom
Users also get incredible 8x zoom when they enable 64MP photo. This awesome feature lets you capture all the details from far away. Landscapes and your favorite cityscapes have never looked so good.
DJI Pocket 2 vs. DJI Pocket 2 Creator Combo
While the DJI Pocket 2 itself is a powerful camera gimbal for content creators, the DJI Pocket 2 Creator Combo was designed to enhance shooting possibilities for vloggers and professional creators. The combo has everything you need, saving you a lot compared to buying DJI Pocket 2 and all the accessories separately. Let’s take a look at some of the extra things you get in the combo.
DJI Wireless Microphone Transmitter + Windscreen
The DJI Pocket 2 Creator Combo comes with a microphone transmitter and windscreen, which provide even better dynamic audio for professionals who require a full setup. This is great for journalists, musicians, or vloggers that want the best quality audio in their footage.
DJI Pocket 2 Do-It-All Handle
The Do-It-All Handle is designed to give you a hand by acting as an extension handle while providing in-built Wi-FI, a Bluetooth module, as well as an audio adapter, wireless mic receiver, and speaker.
DJI Pocket 2 Wide-Angle Lens
The Wide-Angle Lens provides an impressive perspective that is useful for packing in all the details, such as at a botanical garden or a colorful amusement park.
DJI Pocket 2 Micro Tripod
The foldable Micro Tripod is specially designed for DJI Pocket 2, and it is easy to carry, making it ideal for panoramas, timelapse creations, or other scenarios where extra stability is a plus.

Osmo Pocket 2
For such a small device, the results can be stunning. The upgrade of the microphones was much needed. And although the zoom is digital, it is useful. But shooting with 4K 60p in d-CLike produces Cinema quality clips that with colour grade and reframing options can create an HD output that looks excellent on the internet. It doesn't compete with high end professional cameras, but unless you are making an art house movie with perfectly composed shots as opposed to a Vlog, travelogue or Documentary where interviews and presenters are more important than classy cinematography, this tiny little thing punches way above its weight.
