DJI Osmo Pocket Extension Rod Unboxing and Review as a Jib/Crane

This is my initial unboxing and review of the DJI Osmo Pocket Extension Rod. I am attempting to use it as a crane or jib arm instead of as a selfie rod. It can be used as a crane or jib, but is pretty shaky and certainly needs post stabilization. As a selfie stick it is pretty amazing, but as a jib/crane it needs some nudging as the camera is just so light. Still you can get some usable stuff with some work and post processing.

I actually started this review a while back and have just finished and released it.

The audio is recorded on camera or from the microphone on my iMac.

The Footage was shot in 4k, but I had finished the shots for my wife’s short film in 1080 so this video is in 1080.

The Music are all YouTube tracks, just to keep it from getting too boring without it.

Comparison of DJI Ormo+ and DJI Osmo Pocket Quality

While I was working on an idea for a short film, I realized the footage I had wasn;t good enough, so I decided to do a test between my DJI OSmo+ and my DJI Osmo Pocket to see the difference in quality.

It turned out to be a huge difference. The Osmo+ with Z-Axis is much more stable, but the DJI Osmo Pocket is so much sharper. The image quality on the pocket is just so much better.

An interesting comparison, and I wish that the Pocket had a Z-Axis stabilizer, though it would be much harder because of all of the phone connected to it.

DJI Osmo Pocket Initial Test Footage and Review

I got a DJI Omso Pocket for Christmas and this is all of my initial footage that I shot to test it out, as well as some of my thoughts on it. I shot it all with the Osmo Pocket including the footage of me.

The footage was shot at UHD 59.94 progressive, though I shot my interview footage at 29.97 so I could try out the face tracking.

So far I am really impressed with the footage, and this amazing little camera, and it’s little tiny screen. I love that I can just drop it in my pocket and have it at a moments notice.
