DJI Pocket 2 is next level with 64 MP, 4K60, Surround Sound, 8x SloMo and so much more!

DJI released the all-new Pocket 2 stabilized camera today and it’s exactly what the original Osmo Pocket should have been back in 2019. Pricing is US$349 for the Standard kit and $499 for the Creator Combo.

Take me to the DJI Pocket 2 page at DJI.com

When DJI launched the original Osmo Pocket in 2018, it was the first handheld mechanical 3-axis camera. It was an instant hit with users ranging from vloggers to soccer moms. But poorly thought out design elements and very late software and accessory releases frustrated owners and opened the door to copycats like the Fimi Palm and the Feiyutech Pocket.

The Osmo Pocket quirks didn’t stop it from being widely adopted.  It’s epic for capturing B-roll. It’s great for in-studio work. We always, always have the Pocket in our camera bag.
