DJI Pocket 2 — Editorial Review

DJI Pocket 2 — Editorial Review

The DJI Pocket 2 is an all-in-one gimbal camera small enough to slip in a pocket — a 117-gram creator tool whose 3-axis stabilization runs circles around any smartphone.

Pocketable 3-axis stabilization and better audio

DPReview and TechRadar note the Pocket 2 pairs a larger sensor and wider lens with class-leading mechanical 3-axis stabilization, shooting up to 4K/60 with very usable quality and excellent photos in good light. A four-mic DJI Matrix Stereo array vastly improves audio over the original, and subject tracking locks on reliably — all in a sub-120-gram body. In WeTalkUAV's review — featured above — it's called hands-down the best small cam.

Honest cons

• Low-light limits. The small 1/1.7-inch sensor shows noise as light drops.
• Heat on long 4K clips. Extended high-quality 4K capture can cause it to overheat and stop.
• HDR crop. HDR video heavily crops the frame, awkward for vlogging your own face.
• Fixed lens. No lens interchangeability.

Where this camera fits

• Vloggers and travelers who want stabilized 4K in something truly pocketable.
• Run-and-gun creators who value mechanical stabilization over a phone gimbal.
• Minimal-gear shooters wanting strong audio out of the box.
• Not low-light-heavy shooting, long continuous 4K recording, or interchangeable-lens needs.
