DJI has announced the successor to its DJI Osmo Pocket, which is simply called the DJI Pocket 2. The new model brings a number of improvements over the original stabilised mini camera, most notably a larger sensor, a wider lens, and a new range of accessories.
We were big fans of the original DJI Osmo Pocket, which arrived back in November 2018 as a new breed of vlogging camera, building a camera into a miniature motorised gimbal, to create an action camera that produced ultra-smooth video footage. But the world of cameras – and indeed phones – has moved on since then, so what exactly has DJI stuffed inside this now familiar form factor?
Despite adopting a similar design topped by a three-axis gimbal, the Pocket 2 brings lots of small changes that cumulatively add up to a decent upgrade. The main difference is the combination of a new, larger 1/1.7-inch sensor (up from a 1/2.3-inch chip) and a wider, brighter 20mm-equivalent lens with an f/1.8 aperture.
