I had the first Osmo Pocket for two years and I really enjoyed it, it had a few downsides though like when a room was even a little dim, you could see visual noise in the footage and photos. Also whether you were outside or inside, the contrast and exposure were sometimes all over the place. The only way to TRY to fix it was to adjust the settings manually for each shot...but even then...there were limitations.
This Osmo Pocket 2 is much better in the sense that when I filmed the same dim rooms or low light settings, the camera performed much better with little to no visual noise. The contrast and exposures are much more even. If you're filming a landscape that is in shadow, but there's a bright sky, this Osmo Pocket will adjust the light so you can see the ground and landscape -which is an improvement because the last pocket would adjust for the sky and make the landscape look even darker.
The Pocket 2 also has better sound, its clearer and sound tracking allows it so the microphones pick up wherever the camera is pointed. I generally use an external mic, so I'll admit I haven't used the built-in mic features much. The Pocket 2 also starts up faster, but the power button is now a separate button on the side of the camera, be careful not to accidentally press the button when you're taking the camera out of the case or pushing it into the case.
Speaking of case, the last Osmo was held into the case with a silicone strap, this one doesn't use a strap, it uses friction...which I think is a bad idea because over time It will wear away at the sides of the camera, making it look bad. I can already tell that's whats going to happen.
The camera advertises 4k and HDR.. BUT what they don't tell you is that the HDR is not available on the 4k setting, it is only available on the 1080p setting. That being said, the 4k setting by itself is a vast improvement over the first Pocket, and by doing a bit of color grading in post-production, it could pass for HDR footage.
I was a bit confused when I bought it because DJI kept saying this has zoom, but they went back and forth as if it not only possessed digital zoom but also optical zoom. Let me clear that up. THERE IS NO OPTICAL zoom not even 2x optical zoom. It uses digital zoom only, which I personally don't like, so I don't use it.
The camera still gets warm when shooting in 4k mode, however it doesn't get nearly as hot as the first Pocket. My first pocket would get so hot the camera would shut down. This one doesn't. At least it hasn't yet. I like the little joy stick that comes with the camera. It allows you to move the gimball without neading to physically move your arm. This is useful for steadycam walking footage where you need to suddenly look up or down without switching to FPV mode. Just use the joystick. It moves the gimball at only 1 speed, but its a slow steady speed which is still good for getting steady footage. It would be cool if DJI incorporated software that allowed it to speed up or slow down from that speed when you push the joystick...but otherwise its a nice feature.
If you're new to Osmo Pocket, it is NOT an action cam, and it is NOT a lowlight cam. It's best use is for daytime/sunset vlogging, walking tour, steadycam, or getting high-quality footage in a convenient pocket size. So don't get it wet, and don't try to shoot in near darkness or extreme sports.
Everything in your shot is always in-focus, so don't expect the kind of background blurring you get with DSLR's focus. But if you want that kind of blurring, you can do that with Adobe Premiere Pro or Photoshop, so don't worry. I have shot near-DSLR quality footage with this camera and after doing some adjustments in post-production it looks amazing. I highly recommend this camera for vloggers, or for professionals when you need some extra camera work done with convenience.
As for the camera, the old pocket advertized a 12 MP camera, this one advertises a 64 MP camera. Normally that would mean the 64 MP would have a resolution almost 5 times the size...but in this case, the resolution is only a little bit bigger, the difference is in the camera's ability to capture detail.
I really like this camera, I think its a huge improvement over the original Osmo, for me it is the perfect camera. I personally don't need any other cameras because this one does everything I need it to do. But I know a guy who uses this camera ALONG WITH his DSLR and he gets great footage that he pieces together into a cool video.
So try it out. I think you'll like it.

Good picture audio and image stabilization 🙂
Good picture and good audio. 👍 The Pocket 1 had weak audio. The recording volume on it was a little low. This one is much better. 🤗 Picture quality is good and it's a little better in low light or at night with the exposure. The sharpness is ok. Face tracking is much better. It finds the face and centers it better. Loss of FT is less than before. Recovery of FT is better. Settings are changeable on the camera without the app. There might be 1 or 2 but I don't think so.The app. It's less intrusive than before. It only needs location and storage or camera. But they might be sneaky about it as they require you to agree to their terms. This time send reports or data send is off from out of the box. At least mine was. Hooking up to the app was faster and smoother this time. Literally took a couple of seconds. Could be because I already had an account. I didn't get any FW update notices or FW updates. Already came with the new one.The accessories are cool and good quality. The mini tripod is nice. The external mic is pretty cool BUT it's a little on the low side. You have to hold it pretty close to your mouth for good audio. They need to update the mic recording level. I bumped up the audio on both the external mic to 20dbs and up on the on board mics. The onboard microphones are better than the external mic. Its louder. The quality may be slightly better. Still though it's pretty cool they have a wireless external mic with this. The adapter is way smoother than the plug adapter you had to use with the original pocket. Cleaner look.Tripod screws everywhere. 🙂 A piece you can attach to the pocket 2 one on the extension piece and one on the case. No more rubber strap. The case holds the camera snuggly with or without the wide angle lens. Another cool add on that I purchased for the original pocket. POV is much better than the pocket 1 with or without the WAL. The magnet could be slightly stronger. I lost it once.Another cool thing is the connector pieces the usb c and lightening and wide angle lens fit inside the case. Theres slots for them. 😮What needs improvement? Well the mic level on the external mic. The battery goes fast on the camera. The mic lasts a little bit longer. You might be able to squeeze 90min of straight recording. Recording doing shorter clips adjusting reviewing flipping back n forth in an hour you'll have maybe 30% left. Give or take.The magnet on the WAL needs to be a little stronger. The thumb stick needs to be just a tad stiffer as I find I'm pressing down when I'm just trying to move the directional. The price 😳 $500 plus about $30 in tax yikes. You gotta think about it.Overall I like it. It's better than the first one but still needs some minor tweaks and they can add some things. Throw in a lav mic. Those don't cost too much. Make it to where you can 2 external mics connected. Increase battery life and maybe put in an extended battery in that mic adapter. 😊 I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the high price and audio level on the external mic. Oh and uh the wind screen dead bug is really lose on the external mic. You can easily knock it off. For some thoughts and samples ... YouTube. 😎

Because it was used it was also activated, so I guess if that bothers you it's one way around it. I already have a DJI account and it's not a problem for me.
The camera is great, especially at the price I paid. I already have the original Osmo Pocket so I knew what to expect, and I am very happy with the upgrades and the extra parts in the combo.
The sound is really good, and excellent with the external mic.
The wide angle lens add-on fits perfectly and it very sharp.
The mini tripod is a great design and really handy.
The do-it-all handle connected immediately to the camera and works really well; in fact for me it makes the whole thing fit very well in my male hands.
The tripod mount is useful, but I probably won't use it as long as I have the do-it-all handle on board. If you are having trouble removing the little tripod mount cover use the tripod as a lever to remove it.
Picture quality is very good. Low light works well, certainly better than the Pocket 1. 64MP stills camera is very good, and the overall quality is well-made and good quality materials.
Based on my experience so far, I can happily recommend this.
