DJI Pocket 2 in the test: Stabilized handheld camera for shake-free videos audio system, touchscreen, app and accessories Conclusion and test table Article in c’t 26/2020 read Even if the Pocket 2 has lost the addition “Osmo” in its name: At first glance, the mini camera with gimbal does not show any major differences to the predecessor. The newcomer is only slightly larger and only one gram heavier. For this, DJI has worked on the inner values: Instead of a 1 / 2.3-inch sensor, a 1 / 1.7-inch sensor is now used, which not only makes the image clearer, but also less noisy in dark scenes . The field of view has changed from 79 on 93 degrees increased and finally an aperture of ƒ / 1.8 and a focal length of 20 Millimeters now for selfies for more space.

Videos are continued up to UHD resolution with 60 Hertz added. What is new, however, is that HDR videos with up to 2.7 K (2720 × 1530 pixels). In Full HD, the Pocket 2 now supports eight-fold slow motion instead of four-fold slow motion. The stabilization in three axes works in an exemplary manner and provides a steady image even when running. Only the autofocus did not always work reliably in the test.

DJI has also screwed on the intelligent recording modes. The automatic tracking of marked objects by predicting movement paths has improved. If an object disappears behind a tree, for example, the Osmo stopped tracking. The follower, on the other hand, swivels a little in the direction of movement and resumes tracking as soon as the object can be seen again. It worked well in the test.
