DJI Pocket 2 Features!
Pocket Sized
DJI Pocket 2 is fun-sized, like a chocolate bar, where you can carry this on any adventure you have planned. It fits right in your pocket, perfect for taking it on your next trip and takes up no space!
Upgraded Sensor
Rocking a brand new 1/1.7" sensor, the DJI Pocket 2 can now take better low-light videos and you can even see a small amount of bokeh around a subject with its lower f/1.8 aperture, perfect for turning your video into a professional looking shot. This is perfect for carrying around the city during night, the campfire and right under the stars! This really is the ultimate content creator tool.
3-Axis Stabilised Camera
Much like the previous DJI Osmo Pocket, the DJI Pocket 2 features a 3-axis gimbal that ensure incredibly smooth footage, even when you're running, rocking out to your favourite band (Shout out to Gang Of Youths) or enjoying a tour around beautiful landmarks. The motorised gimbal provides cinematic stabilisation, which means you can get as creative as you like with your shots!
High-Quality Superior 64MP Images
The DJI Pocket 2 supports supersized 64 MP images that ensures your content always looks the best. This is the highest MP count from any current DJI Product. For reference, the Osmo Pocket was 12MP and the Mavic Air 2 could shoot 48MP Max. However much like the DJI Mavic Air 2, this is a Quad-Bayer Sensor.
DJI Matrix Stereo
Something that is new to the DJI Pocket 2 is the DJI Matrix Stereo Technology. This is a nifty inclusion that really fixes the audio issues of the original DJI Osmo Pocket. Utilising the power of four microphones located in optimal positions, the audio is significantly improved (it really is a major difference). This will give you better sounding vlogs, videos and moments. With better microphone placements, your fingers will no longer block the microphones, allowing you to easily record without worry.
The way this works is, the Pocket 2 will adjust the direction of audio according to the camera's position using SoundTrack, like ActiveTrack but for sound. Essentially you will get clear audio even with the camera moving around, a big advantage of vloggers, content creators and filmmakers.
Keeping inline with the mobile phone innovation, the DJI Pocket 2 comes with Audio Zoom that adjusts the audio when you zoom in. This creates a really impressive, dynamic sound effect that's perfect for highlighting things in your footage. This is fantastic for filming a lecture, presentation, concert as the audio zoom will harmonise your filmmaking experience.
ActiveTrack 3.0
Whether you're filming a vlog with your best mates, significant other, child or playful puppy, ActiveTrack 3.0 will provide smooth footage that keeps your subject the star of the show, centre of the frame. The latest version of the ActiveTrack 3.0 is even better at following a subject, which means you will never miss a shot again!
AI Editor
Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, you are now a Hollywood director, well nearly.
The DJI Pocket 2's inbuilt editor will select the best moments and complies them into a video for you to quickly share to your followers and friends. This clever function is perfect for when you are travelling on the go and want to create/share your clips as you go!
8x Zoom
Due to the Quad-Bayer sensor, the Pocket 2 allows you to have incredible and impressive zoom up to 8x. This is an awesome feature that lets you capture all the details from far away! Landscapes and your favourite cityscapes has never looked this good before!
DJI Pocket 2 vs DJI Pocket 2 Creator Combo
Much like the DJI Drones and Ronin Gimbals, there are two options to purchase your DJI Osmo Pocket 2.
The Creator Combo as the name suggests, is designed for content creators that gives you everything you need, saving you a lot compared to buying DJI Pocket 2 and all the accessories separately. Below we'll highlight the key extra things you get!

The Creator Combo comes with the microphone transmitter and windscreen, which provides an even better dynamic audio for professionals who require a full set-up. This is fantastic for journalists, musicians, vloggers that want the best quality audio in their footage.
DJI Pocket 2 Do-It-All Handle
The handle is designed to act as an extension handle, but offer a lot more. Inside it contains a WiFi and Bluetooth module as well as an audio adapter, wireless mic receiver, speaker and a USB-C port for pass through charging. This handle really does it all!
DJI Wide-Angle Lens
The Wide-Angle lens provides an impressive perspective that is useful for packing in all details.
