Excellent video and audio in a tiny frame

The DJI Pocket 2 is amazingly slim and compact, but still produces incredible video and audio. The gimbal camera easily fits in your hand and has a 64MP 1/1.7” CMOS sensor. Mobile creators can shoot video in 4K/60p and zoom in 8x on 64MP photos. The combination of ActiveTrack 3.0 and Hybrid AF ensures footage is seamlessly focused even with consistent movement. Additionally, the Pocket 2 incorporates 3-axis gimbal stabilization to reduce shakiness.

On the audio side, the tiny gimbal is designed with four different microphones. They are built to reduce unwanted background noise and wind interference. With directional sound, creators are able to select three different audio recording patterns to fit the scene. The stereo effect follows sound from left to right and vice versa to give users more sound design capabilities. Another cool sound feature is “audio zoom,” which enhances the audio recording when users zoom in the picture. Simply put, DJI is bringing audio to the next level.

Quick and creative editing

The DJI Pocket 2 also comes with a handful of shooting modes and editing features to add creativity to your content. The gimbal camera already has a 93-degree field-of-view, but users can switch to high-definition panorama mode to achieve full 180-degree angles. The panorama mode also includes a 3×3 setting for accommodating group selfies. The Pocket 2 comes with timelapse, hyperlapse, and motionlapse modes. Motionlapse is similar to timelapse, but adds a gentle camera movement, and hyperlapse uses electronic image stabilization to keep a steady frame during the recording.
