What are the Pros and Cons of the Pocket 2 over similar solutions?
Whilst the DJI Pocket 2 is a solution that is both portable and of high quality, there are other action cameras you may find worth knowing about. Personally, I was especially impressed with the tiny DJI Action 2 camera featured in our aerial photography study with action photographer and drone flying maestro Alen St.Hilaire (you can read the post here).
Now, what is striking about this tiny beauty, that is the DJI Action 2 camera, is its pure simplicity in design. This modular action camera, attaches to other accessories magnetically, Is waterproof, shock proof and supports 4K/120fps video, plus it has a super-wide 155° Field of View (FOV).
Now if there are any negatives concerning the Pocket 2, it would be that the battery life could be better, so having some form of backup plan might be necessary. Also, whilst the gimbal stabilization is mostly helpful, in some situations you may need to take extra care, compared to larger more sophisticated gimbal aided devices.
