Osmo Pocket is a very small, handheld and gimbal stabilized camera that can provide really nice and smooth video footage, assuming there is enough light available.

Bought mine the day they were released and have absolutely 'no' buyer remorse.
There are heaps of reviews on YouTube where you can see the video it can produce (excellent), but I do note all the reviewers agree this camera is a game changer. It really is a 4K 'pocket' camera with broadcast quality video and so easy to take with you.
Yes your (expensive?) phone camera can take 4K but not with the smoothness that this Osmo Pocket can achieve.
No it's not as robust as a GoPro and you can't use it under water without an enclosure, but it is very well made and I'm blown away with the results (operator errors excepted)

The one downside I found was DJI's insistence on 'Activating' their products before you can use them. In the case of the Osmo Pocket this is aggravated by needing a Smart Phone with a 'USB C" connection to plug the Pocket into.
Not helpful if you have a phone with a Micro USB connection - however - I found with an 'OTG' adaptor (e.g OnePlus OTG C) I was able to connect to my Galaxy 7 and not only activate it but use the Mimo sotware

The LCD screen is big enough for framing reasonably accurately, and the touch interface for controlling modes/settings/reviewing film/photos works well.
Switching between video and photo is easy (single short press of the on/off button) and the quality of the 12 Mp photos is as good as any smartphone..
The shooting angle of 80 degree's is wide enough while avoiding fish eye distortion so common in action cameras.

Panorama's (180 degree Pano or 3x3 wide angle) are dead easy to take though at the moment can only be viewed on camera or in the Mimo software (IOS/Android) My pick though is exporting these Pano/Wide Angle shots will be high on the developers list of must do's, let alone the keen app writers out there looking for an opportunity.
FWIW the Pano photo's are in a separate folder on the Micro SD card and could be stitched together with Photoshop or any similar editor.

Accessories are not too expensive, though at the time of review have not reached retailers.
Interested to note the overseas Auction sites and other sources have heaps of accessories available now so they are picking the Pocket will be a success.

Overall I think the Osmo Pocket is a nice balance between size, performance and price.

For Pro 'A' roll use your Osmo Plus or DSLR on a Ronin would probably be better, but then having removable batteries, mic inputs, headphone and video outputs, follow focus adaptors etc goes way outside of what the Pocket is about .
For small discreet, Vlogging and B roll filming it can't be beat.

For the keen amateur / semi pro it is just so much easier to use than a Smartphone/ Action camera to get that shake free video.
For Poppa videoing the grandkids, so dam simple to use.

Have had this camera for only a few weeks and already it is my first option for taking out when hitting the MTB tracks or when sightseeing.

Has so many great features for its size and price. Is so easy to use and the quality of video and photos is amazing.

Love and quick and simple it is to upload videos and photos to my favourite web sites and PC.

Great to see there are so many "How To" videos on youtube and the number of pros out number the cons for this camera. Have had this camera for only a few weeks and already it is my first option for taking out when hitting the MTB tracks or when sightseeing.

It has smaller in size than thought. Amazingly stable recording in every scene you can imagine. Battery running time is better than any action camera. Strongly recommend this if you do not need any of action camera's advantage such as strong diving capability. Additionally, a sturdy case included in the package. It has smaller in size than thought.

Purchased on Cyber Monday Sale. Was great deal and quick shipping. Highly recommended to buy from PB Tech! Purchased on Cyber Monday Sale. Was great deal and quick shipping. Highly recommended to buy from PB Tech!

Compact and handy. easy to use and keep on you all the time.
Only complaints are:
1. it does not come with a micro USB connector (only the iPhone and USB-C ones) which is a little stupid and backward of them considering this works best attached to the phone (bigger screen) and you need to conect it to activate the device to be able to use it (has to be activated and registered to use).
2. Has no way to connect to social media even via the phone which is a little retarded in these times where anything that fits in your pocket and does video can connect to social media (including GoPro). Most people would likely want to live stream with it (...view more Compact and handy. easy to use and keep on you all the time.

Device is good. But their quality control is bad. How they are shipping dead pixel screen devices in the market. I have got one of them will return to DJI. Device is good.

Gimble balance is excellent but not that great a camera. Very grainy video in medium to low light. Gimble balance is excellent but not that great a camera. Very grainy video in medium to low light.

Pros:
Very small and non-intrusive compared to bulky gimbal sticks mounted with a GoPro or whatever.
Excellent video and still picture quality.
Not dissimilar cost to a GoPro and gimbal selfie stick.
Can charge with a power bank while camera in use.
More accessories becoming available from DJI.

Cons:
Not waterproof.
Gimbal probably susceptible to damage so need to keep it in the supplied case when in your pocket or not in use.
USB C phone or Iphone required for activation. No micro USB adapter supplied and presently not available from DJI.

After using the Osmo Pocket for 10 weeks I would definitely buy it again!

Just amazing!! Motion lapse, timelapse, slo-mo, follow feature, panorama, 3 axis gimbal.. All fits in your pocket!!!! Just amazing!! Motion lapse, timelapse, slo-mo, follow feature, panorama, 3 axis gimbal.. All fits in your pocket!!!!

Awesome little camera. Stabilisation is excellent. Great features - some of which I still am experimenting with. Great value for a 4K camera. Awesome little camera. Stabilisation is excellent. Great features - some of which I still am experimenting with. Great value for a 4K camera.
