I would assume that even though its not marketed as such many people will use as production cameras for personal projects or as a broll cam for low budget stuff. Still seems like the screen would be tiny for anything beyond the most general framing, too small to notice a piece of gear or other undesireable objects/people in the shots.

For those situations I think that the Mimo app would be the way to control as it works really well. The screen on the Pocket then goes off. Works very well with my 7" tablet.

Sure, but again the main characteristic of good videos is camera movement, which a gimbal makes possible. That is the key advantage of the Osmo Pocket gimbal/camera combo. However, I challenge you to smoothly move with the camera while holding the camera tethered by a cable to a 7" tablet. If you do not move with the camera, there is little point to having a gimbal (it does make for steady static shots of course).

Re: DJI Osmo Pocket
 

I was not meaning move with the camera. It was to use on a tripod/mount controlled by the tablet too which is what I was inferring as a B camera. Controlled with the WiFi module so no cable. Tracking and focus can be controlled with the tablet. An unobtrusive camera for an interview.

Updated to firmware 1.04 today, so now I have the "pro" and Cine-D option. Looking forward to trying this out. The mating to a smartphone is very VERY fiddly though. I wish DJI had included a male to female USB-C cable in addition to the charging cable they did supply.

I have to wonder what those people who do not have a newer smartphone with USB-C are supposed to do.

This is also the first time I have ever used a gimbaled device of any kind, so it's quite the learning curve to sort it all out.

You Can Even Shoot a Pretentious Cinematic Video!
 

Just lacks a story line and interesting characters, but all the important stuff is there: orange and teal grading, widescreen aspect ratio (2.25:1), bombastic score.

Re: DJI Osmo Pocket
 

So, how is the audio? How well does it handle high sound pressure situations? Has anyone tried it with live music? Does it record stereo audio?

Re: DJI Osmo Pocket
 

No stereo, not even with the eternal usb-c adapter.

Re: DJI Osmo Pocket
 

Thank you, Mark, that gives me a better idea of its audio capabilities.It seemed to handle the band well without audible pumping. I'm really close to pulling the trigger on one. I've got five GoPros and a Yi 4k+ with Feiyu 3-axis stabilizers but the DJI Pocket would be really handy in certain situations because of it's MUCH smaller size.
