    November 28, 2018 -- DJI, the world's leader in creative camera technology, today announced Osmo Pocket, a highly compact three-axis stabilized camera created for everyone. Designed to be incredibly easy to use, Osmo Pocket offers a host of intelligent features to help capture creative videos and photographs in a portable form factor.

    "Innovation is at the heart of every product we create and DJI Osmo Pocket is here to change the way photos and videos are captured, not just by professionals but by parents, couples, adventurers, travelers, and everyone in between," said Roger Luo, President at DJI. "Osmo Pocket is a portable personal camera crew and we can't wait to see how people use it to capture their stories and share them with the world."

    Small yet powerful

    At just over 4 inches tall, Osmo Pocket is DJI's smallest three-axis stabilized camera. It redefines DJI's family of handheld gimbals offering features never before seen in a product this compact. A 1/2.3-inch sensor records 12-megapixel photographs and 4K video up to 60fps at 100Mbps in stunning detail. Osmo Pocket also uses built-in dual microphones and advanced noise-canceling algorithms to ensure you capture high quality audio to match your footage. Furthermore, a battery life of up to two hours shooting video in 4K, 30fps means you can always rely on Osmo Pocket to capture your story no matter where you are at the very best quality.

    Smooth, stable video

    Building on DJI's experience creating gimbal technology, Osmo Pocket helps capture stable video for all of life's moments. The state-of-the-art three-axis mechanical gimbal compensates for movements and smooths these motions so you can focus on composition and subject matter. Whether you are taking videos of your vacation or documenting special holiday moments, Osmo Pocket helps ensure your video comes out smooth.

    Simple and smart

    Designed with ease of use in mind, Osmo Pocket doesn't just let anyone shoot cinematic footage; it empowers creativity. The gimbal camera uses a 1-inch integrated touch screen that provides a high quality live view as well as the ability to toggle through the various shooting modes, adjust settings, review footage and gain access to a full suite of creative features including:

    • ActiveTrack- DJI's image recognition algorithms allow Osmo Pocket to recognize and follow subjects of your choice, perfect for capturing family moments easily with the tap of your finger.
    • FaceTrack- FaceTrack takes ActiveTrack one step further. With enhanced ActiveTrack algorithms, FaceTrack automatically recognizes a human face and locks the subject in center of the frame at all times. It does not identify individual faces, but keeps the camera centered on one. To initiate FaceTrack, simply select selfie mode and the camera will detect your face.
    • Timelapse & Motionlapse- If you're looking to turn minutes into seconds, Timelapse is perfect for capturing unique content with the effect of the world moving faster around you, while Motionlapse adds the dynamic element of camera movement to your Timelapse.
    • FPV Mode- FPV Mode lets you capture your greatest adventures by recording video from your perspective. Instead of locking the gimbal to maintain the horizon, FPV tells the camera to follow your every tilt and lean, shooting dynamic footage exactly as you experienced it.
    • 3x3 & 180° Panorama- For capturing breathtaking wide-angle photos, Osmo Pocket offers two Panorama modes. 3X3 takes an expansive 9 images in total while 180° mode captures 4 images. Osmo Pocket software stitches them together automatically so you can focus on the framing of the scene.

    Unlock the full power of Osmo Pocket

    A universal port under the touchscreen allows users to connect their mobile devices that use iOS Lightning or USB-C. Upon connection, the new dedicated DJI Mimo app will automatically open and serves as a monitor, while in-app menu offers a variety of intelligent features and recording modes:

    • Story Mode -- Bring creative editing to your video with a host of preset music, video transitions and coloring. Choose one of 10 fun templates and Mimo will handle the camera movement for you. After finishing, Mimo automatically generates your very own short story, ready to be shared.
    • Pro Mode - If you want even more control over your content, "Pro mode" gives you access to camera setting adjustments and exposure settings to let you create exactly how you want, from rich video in bright conditions to a perfect handheld long exposure photo at night. Whatever you want to shoot, Osmo Pocket and DJI Mimo let you explore and expand your creativity. Osmo Pocket automatically detects and illuminates low-lit scenes into bright photos. This helps eliminates the need for a tripod, and you can rely on the gimbal to keep the camera still for a shutter speed of up to three seconds. Illuminate the dark, or capture the movement of light in a "light painting." You're only limited by your imagination.

    A versatile tool with a range of accessories

    An ecosystem of accessories unlocks the potential of Osmo Pocket:

    • Accessory Mount- The accessory mount makes Osmo Pocket compatible with action camera accessories so you're able to capture your adventure footage, such as when mounted on a helmet, backpack or your wrist.
    • Wireless Module- The wireless module supports Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth transmission between Osmo Pocket and your smartphone, providing remote access to the camera feed and control of Osmo Pocket; perfect for setting up a Timelapse or Motionlapse on a busy city street.
    • Controller Wheel- The wheel allows you to precisely control gimbal movement (left-right or up-down) enabling you to easily adjust the composition of your shot. Re-center the gimbal or switch to selfie mode easily with dedicated buttons on the handle.
    • Expansion Kit- The expansion kit includes the Accessory Mount, Wireless Module and Controller Wheel.
    • ND Filters Set-** Specifically designed for Osmo Pocket, ND filters attach to the front of the camera to reduce the amount of light entering the sensor. The ND Filter Set offers several levels of filter darkness and allows for more control over the camera's aperture, exposure time, and sensor sensitivity settings.
    • Waterproof Case-** Bring a unique underwater perspective to your footage using the Waterproof Case which can be placed at a depth of 60 meters.
    • Extension Rod-** The Extension Rod attaches to the Lightning or USB-C port and provides 31 inches of reach to Osmo Pocket, opening a world of new creative angles that are normally difficult or impossible to get. A gimbal control joystick and camera button on the handle were designed for remote control when using the Extension Rod and a tripod was added to the bottom for expanded use cases
    • Charging Case-** This dual-purpose case not only protects Osmo Pocket while in transit but charges it as well. Dedicated sections were added into the case for your MicroSD card and ND filters so you can quickly grab your Osmo Pocket and know you're ready to capture those moments and adventures.
    • 3.5mm Adapter-** The 3.5mm Adapter allows you to connect an external microphone if you prefer to capture audio using a separate device.

    I got one of these medicine bottle magnifiers at Walgreens, it clips on to the Osmo and magnifies the screen. A rubber band helps prevent slipping. Don't put it on in direct sunlight to avoid frying your Osmo :) Actually, you get accustomed to just using the small screen on the Osmo, I don't use the magnifier that often.

  • @Bladerun....haha...that'll look pretty funny having an osmo pocket pegged to your face. Which kinda of completely misses the point of the pocket...to be free to move around at arms length. Or maybe you're thinking of a tiny lcd hood for the screen ? Use a lens hood.

  • I joined to ask this question and possibly propose someone makes this. I'm thinking to buy one of these but sticking a phone to it for viewfinder kind of misses the point. And I realized the perfect accessory for this thing would be a simple viewfinder that maybe fitted with magnets. It makes total sense. I wonder if anyone is up for designing a 3d printed one. Doesn't need a lens just a comfortable eyepiece maybe two inches in length. Of course a more complex one with glass would be great too. Or if anyone knows an existing product. Osmo should get in on this.

  • @Firworks Same for the Freewell.

  • I've got the Ulanzi wide angle adapter and have no issues with sharpness either. I don't use it much though because it's too deep and the camera cannot be turned off / on with it mounted (The gimbal binds up). You have to stick it on after which is a pain in the ass.

  • Freewell 18mm wide angle adapter with edge to edge sharpness: $29.95

  • got to say this camera rocks for on the fly doc work.

  • Got it working wifi needed to be on 2,4 ghz and the pocket had it on 5,8 so I needed to click on 2,4 ghz. I think the pocket is capable on a easy way to do shots no other camera can do that easy and the bluetooth adapter can do even more crazy shots. Camera's can do wifi but not also a remote movement on a stick or something like that. You can put it on alot of things and ways and then even move and frame. I see it has alot of possibilities. It connected easy, so it is working on my old phone which I am happy with now.

  • Does anybody has specification compatibilty list of the osmo pocket bluetooth adapter or does know where it is on the site. My older phone and tablet does not work with it. Tried to block some signals inteference, but still does not work. It is weird. Do you really need a new phone for this?

  • Hello Firworks. Never have mobile data on, so not sure if there could be other interference? I needed to put on wifi to get the pocket detected, it also ask for locaton and gps on. I think it could be old android system? Also read some devices have to put airplane mode on, so that sounds also a bit like data you said Firworks. Can try that, but these options are not even on my tablet, only on phone.

  • @mysteryman4 If you are having problems with the bluetooth adapter, turn off your mobile data and I bet it will work. A lot of bluetooth/wireless accessories like that have a problem with cellular and I don't know if it's an interference thing, an OS thing or whatnot but that's been a very reliable solution. I can't connect to the Osmo Pocket or my Yi 4K+ without disabling mobile data.

  • My osmo pocket fell and the cover popped out without breaking at all, showing me where to start when I will need to change the battery inside

  • I read about lot of problems with bluetooth adapter on android and that there are devices supported and that it should be on dji website, but don't see or can't find it. Probably needs newer phones or android? I have older android devices and dissapoints that connection failed. Pocket seems to be detected, but can't connect when I click connect. I found out when I bought this bluetooth adapter about problems. Maybe it is me but where is the list of supported devices and can this be fixed, android, bluetooth, wifi, thought it all would work right away? I did updated pocket and app, but did not help. Hope there is solution, can't do anything now with bluetooth adapter. Don't know how many or older android devices are supported?

  • More autofocus tests with the new firmware, less painful to watch:

  • Nice tips because of it's size and gimbal modes...

  • Another Autofocus test

  • New vs old firmware Auto focus test

  • There are only two possibilities. They used a sensor with on array phase detection sites which they were unable to get working prior to launch, or they're lying.

    I want to update mine to play with it but I feel like I probably should do some tests before hand and do a back to back...
