✅ Hi CZcams Friends! A new video? Yes and no. The video I released yesterday had a stupid mistake 😬 and was rather darkish. In my editing program everything looks fine though. I corrected the mistake (DJI instead of DIJ) and made it lighter. Hope you like it 🙏! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Overall a great quality video!
Best review I’ve seen on this camera. I’m convinced, now I just need to place the order! Thanks a bunch 🙏
Wihaaa 😊. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Best VIdeo on the Pocket 2 ive seen till now. Great Work !
Thank you! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great to see some video’s from you again!
Hoi Bas, 🙂👍.Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
This is the most thorough review I've seen on the pocket 2. Your segment about the microphone was very detailed, I don't think I've seen any other reviews that mention the 3.5 mm input. Thanks for noting that!
And thanks for comparing it to your filming camera at the end. I've been on the fence about getting the pocket 2 or a larger camera like a g85, but this pocket 2 is so portable. The best camera is the one you have with you, they say. I travel all over, and I'll always have that little pocket 2 with me.
Cheers
Hi Mike, Thank you for the kind words and the comment 😄. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great review, Gijs. Thank you. I've just bought my Pocket 2 and there's obviously a lot I need to learn. You video certainly clarified a lot for me nevertheless.
Have fun with it KR!

Hi Alan,
Sorry for my late reply but I was on holiday and gave myself some real time off and thank you for the super kind words. More subs... yes please but how? I do all I can but the outdoor subject with honest non payed reviews is maybe too much of a niche.

Thank you for your video, vy informative!
Thank you for a very nice video, it is good to se the tricks in action, especially the explanation on the modes are very handy, “follow”, “tilt lock”, “fpv”, and the new mode with pressing the key next to the joystick. We are very happy with our P2. Going hiking this weekend in Denmark, and I will try to pack my backpack according to your video. We also fly the DJI mini.
Good that you have you voice back,so we get the inspiring video’s

I had all but given up on using the P2, You have renewed my interest in giving the P2 another chance.
What you helped me with :
The Record on and off using the mic 👍
using a lav mic with the remote mic 👍
use it only for Broll. 👍
I would love to know how to get better images from the device, i hate it when the P2 looses focus.
Thank you for this very helpful video good sir.
I just needed this video to finalise buying Pocket 2. Thanks a lot
You are welcome Tilak. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

Thanks Andy 👍. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Hi! I'm leaving a comment, such a lovely review! Just what I wanted. I travel a lot round UK ( seaside, mountains , everywhere) and everybody else are using GH5 or similar expensive cameras. You did more than I need - outdoor tent, hiking etc. While showing how you do it! Thanks a lot! I will definitely buy pocket 2 , and who knows, maybe even start a CZcams channel...
Hi Jerry, Welcome to the club 😊 and many thanks for the kind words. Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

That is a very lovely compliment 😊🙏. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thank you. Fantastic video.
You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it😀. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great video well done.
I find the P2 transformative - easy to get great moving shots but needs a lot of practice to get professional looking footage.
I connected mine to a power bank to record some stage performances. On the first attempt it stopped recording after an hour but subsequently I have recorded continuously at 4k 50p for over 2.5 hours while controlling remotely using the Mimo app. The P2 seems to run its own battery down to around 8% then starts to recharge itself slowly and gets very hot - I'm not sure if this is going to do any damage in the long term but you can get very long continuous recordings like this
Great Video, regards from Connecticut !
Thank you! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thanks a lot for this video.

I learned a lot from your two videos! Thank you I’m grateful I want to start a CZcams channel too
You are most welcome and good luck 😄! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Thank you!
So informative. The amount of care and time you’ve put into this is really incredible.
I’ve been waiting so long to get a hold on the Pocket 2 and now I’m going to finally order it.
I have two questions for you:
1. What about HDR?
2. May ask you what you used for your internal shots? Camera and mic?
Dank je wel!
Hi Fureyize, Thanks for the positive feedback! 1) I hardly use it.... 2) GH5 from Panasonic and a Sennheiser EW1003G set. Does this help? 🙏 Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Very good informative video. I already have the P2 but haven't used it as much as I'd liked yet. I shoot b-roll and stuff for stock agencies and also have a GH5! - still the best video camera at that price point. Keep up the good work.
Hi Genefreak, Thanks for the nice comment! I just switched to Sony.... The autofocus on the GH5 and the new ones is an issue. Sony does not beat the user friendlynes of Pana though. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Sir this is the best video on youtube about this camera, you've sold me I ordered one for my adventures. I'm looking to get into youtube production and have bought this and a Mavic Air 2S fly more to get started.
You did see the review to? Thanks for the nice remarks!. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews I did thanks.
With no doubt whatsoever the best video test of this camera. I also film on my treks and I think this is the perfect camera. Thank you very much!!
😊Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Congratulations again for this amazing review! Just one doubt, is this camera water resistant? Thank you
@@tatorosesmartinez Pretty water resistant but not warranted this way.
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Thanks a lot!!
Excellent 👌🏻
Thanks! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great video from Japan
Thank you! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Fabulous video my friend. I’ve had the P2 for a while but every time I watch your content, I learn something else. Could you let me know if you use the Cinelike or normal filming mode? I’ve tried both but find the normal mode perfectly adequate for my use.
Normal... works for me fine but I am experimenten with Cinelike at the moment. Also on the other camera's.
Very nice review and update. A question though, will the adapter work with an iPhone in a case?
Hi SM, Depending on the thickness of the case... I have a new Quadlock and that it not to super. I use elastic bands sometimes to secure the iPhone. I hope this helps. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe 😄! Cheers, Gijs
Thank you, a very good update... I remember that there was a problem with the Pocket 2 following an object/person. Has this been addressed in an update?
Hi Gerry, Most of the time it works pretty fine, but since I own a bigger DJI gimbal system now too with Raveneye... that is better. But with a big price difference. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Another great video. Could you please tell me the model of the Senheiser lapel microphone that you use? Many thanks 😊👍🏻
Hi, Thank you so much. Sorry, I cant... I bought it years ago and there is not a mark on it. But is must be something like the ME2. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Nice thank you. Good points!
I learned the trick of placing the camera (when the head is floppy) into the holder button-side-down by myself (not realising it was somehow advised). I do intend adding my own 'hill' by sticking a rubber foot or something right next to it.
Agree about the storage of wide-angle lens etc : I lost mine on a hill and thanks to good fortune I spotted it on the way down! I now leave stuff at home in a sandwich box.
I almost lost my case up the hill too : my buddy gave me a lanyard for it. Fluorescent tape is being considered to spice up the grey!
The external microphone has a 'dead cat' that is way too easily knocked off: I lost mine today on the hill or in the carpark. Never to be found.
I have little confidense in the microphone clip but haven't lost the microphone ...yet. I didn't know about using it as a remote on/off switch so thank you for that!
I love the idea of using the Lavallier mic plugged in to the remote! That is what I will do in future even though it involves climbing with yet more wires.
Ah, I almost forgot the little joystick. Well, the little ruuber knob broke off somewhere/somehow a couple of weeks ago. I now have to rely on my fingernail to push what's left for zooming. Santa has been asked for a new one .
Having said all that, the Pocket2 has given a quantum leap in quality to my videos and I think gained me more subscribers as a result.
It is a wonderful device!
Hi Terry, Thanks for the tips! I lost my wide angle in deep grass but my dearest found it. The dead cat... I adjusted the 'legs' a bit inwards and it stick super now. Did you see that the P2 knows when the dead cat is removed? It says in the line in top of the screen. So thought trough this device is. I could easily do 1 hour more. Good luck with your channel; I envy you for your beautiful surroundings: Loch Venachar.... WOW! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Thanks, Gijs. Didn't know that about the dead cat. Oh, and thanks for taking a look at my Loch Venachar: that was a day to remember (only thanks to CZcams I will, lol!). Looking forward to your next one. Take care.
Hi and thank you and congrats for your review. Have you ever noticed in long recording (i.e. more than 10 minutes) with the DJI P2 an annoying audio delay? And the longest the recording the worst the delay, more than 1 second in a 40 mins catching... thanx for your answer
Hi Giuseppe, No, I have not. Mine is spot on. But... I hardly shoot takes more than 10 minutes. Have you heared from others that have this? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Excellent
Thanks Maurice! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great video. Your hand looks about my size and i couldnt fit it in the DJI supplied lanyard, so I used one left over from my Go-Pro Hero 3+ which was much bigger. Some people have said 256G micro SD card is max for Pocket 2, but I'm using a 512 with no problem. Agree with the weak case magnets. I lost my iphone adaptor after 1 day. The wind screen for the remote mic doesnt have a solid feel to it when inserted. Another reason to place the Pocket 2 in the case with the sd slot inside is the lanyard will now be on the outside. Im a new subscriber!
Hi Richard and Judy,
Thank you for the kind words! My hands are 7.5/8 and I don't use the lanyard since it seems to be in the way always. Thanks for the sub! 😊 Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Still great in 2020 n will be great n worth buying in 2023
Excellent video 👍🏼 Just purchased P2 Combo version and would like to ask your advise for best setting for ‘action’ shots Moto X outdoor in particular - thanks 🔥🔥👊🏼 Cookie
Hi Cookie, What kind of shots? Riding a motorbike with high speed? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
thanks!!!

Hallo Gijs,
Ten eerst wat een top video presentatie 👍🏼 ik heb een maand geleden zelf over gestapt van een DJI OSMO 2 naar deze super cool DJI POCKET 2. Na meer dan 20 verschillende video’s jouw video heeft mij enthousiast gemaakt.
Ik had mijn twijfels over de DJI POCKET, maar nu ben ik opeens enthousiast geworden. Morgen naar Mexico 🇲🇽 dan kan ik alles in de praktijk proberen. #supertips #bedankt. Groetjes uit Waddinxveen 🇳🇱
Ps. Mijn excuses voor mijn schriftelijke fouten, maar Spaans is mijn moedertaal 😊
Hoi Y. Rossy, Dank voor de complimenten en met je Nederlands is niets mis 🙏! Veel plezier in Mexico. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Hello thank you for the vid, you answer my question at the end, DJI pocket vs gimbal om5, and you said the pocket is better. What about filming on a bicycle and how to put it on the bicycle bar ??
Hi Alfred, There are brands that make this attachment. Google 'dji pocket 2 mount' and you will find many options that might work for you. I am not sure I would mount it on a handlebar of a mountainbike though 🙄. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
I've recorded so many walking tours, property tours, family outings, and random events with the Pocket 2 that I can't understand why this camera isn't sold out everywhere.
I'm buying two more for my kids to use on our family vacations.
Hi AskAW, That is something I don't understand too. Cheers, Gijs
Great video. I have the p2 and will be using to film vlogs around Asia. My worry is the battery life and the heating. Should i get a second p2 as back up or a osmo action 4 or gro pro at least then i can swap out the batteries? What's your thoughts and will that affect post editing. Thanks again.
Hi! Buy a Osmo as extra. It is a bit more bullet proof and will ad more peace of mind. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
This first review and that review are both really nice, enjoyable and they give a useful overlook of the P2. And I like the way you do those reviews! There is just one thing missing IMO is how to use the P2 in bad weather. I know it's not waterproof but there's gap between divig into water and just being splashed by rain...So what are your thoughts about it?
Hi Juju, Is it missing? I thought I mentioned it somewhere. How water proof would you like it to be? I use it outdoors, also in the rain and it is still functioning. But... DJI does not warrant this. I use clingfoil and a plastic bag sometimes when it rains longer. Or an umbrella. I don't have the waterproof housing from DJI. Does this help? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Hi and thanks for your reply! As far as I remember it's not mentioned. Maybe in the hundreds of comments ;) Fair enough for me, I now know it's more less splash proof, I won't put it into the water tho!
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Here's the hack that I use which solves one of your complaints....I cover the sd card slot with a small piece of black electrical tape, no dust/moisture/debris can enter the device.
HDR Video is handy when using the macro lenses (for details and more dynamic range)
Check! Nice useful comment, thanks. Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
This is a great video and very informative. Do you use ND filters on your pocket 2 ?
Hi Barrie, No, but... I got a few about a month ago but the sun has gone on holiday here so no chance to test them yet. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews I got a few last year and will try them this summer. Thanks for your work on the Pocket 2, it was priceless!
Good microphone solution.
Agreed the separate mic is too prominent
But works very well... Everything has a downside I guess. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
excellent and educational. thank you. I use my P2 to record bands/music. Marty Sender You Tube. from what i've seen i'm the only one doing that. good job. thumbs up. Urge DJI to make a Pocket 3 with a one inch sensor, batteries, interchangeable lenses..faster processor.
Make a wish... I am not sure DJI listens to me. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Dope
Very informative
For pocket 2 which extension stick is good
Hi Arun, I use a Joby most of the time: kit.co/Outdoorguru/video-gear/joby-jb01507-gorilla
Hoi Gijs, Mooie re-review. Ik heb mijn P2 nu een aantal dagen en ik moet er nog even mee spelen voor ik alles een beetje onder de knie heb. Kan alleen maar zeggen: wat een tof ding is het om te gebruiken. Makkelijk, klein en snel. Enige waar ik even op moet letten is, dat als ik hem snel wil gebruiken, ik even moet na gaan in welke modus ik hem de laatste keer heb gebruikt. Zo ging ik gisteravond met mijn dochter de hond uitlaten en er was een zeer mooie maan. Ik wilde hem wel eens testen in het donker (gaat perfect overigens) maar ik had hem nog in hyperlaps staan dus..... juist alles in hyperlaps gefilmd omdat ik er niet op gelet heb.... Lesson learnt :)
Hyperlapse is best leuk 🙃. Ik leer ook iedere dag nog bij hoor. Veel plezier met je P2. Groet, Gijs
Thanks for the review, what about the AFC? no problem to report? mine is constantly focus hunting and ruins most of my shoots. I now use it in AFS mode constantly. Any adivce on how to deal with the focus hunting in AFC mode? Thanks
Hi GFAH, Focus hunting... new word for me so I guess I don't have this issue. I will check and get back to you. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Hi do you have a video about frame rates I am looking to buy a pocket 2 but a novice when it comes to changing any settings
Hi Alan,
I don't, but it is very easy to find when swiping menus. Don't worry about it.
Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe!
Cheers, Gijs
Hey. Beautiful video. I have a question: I have a recipe for taking a photo of a main street while walking. In what mode is it better to shoot?
Thanks
Hi AW, Sorry for the late reply but I am traveling and not always online. Photo or video? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews hey
In video. Thanks
👍👍
Thanks Sherif 😄 Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
great video. Do you think the video quality is better on pocket 1 or 2 please? I can get pocket 1 used on ebay for like 100 pounds. I would prefer to pay a cheaper used price than expensive pocket 2.
Hi ST, I don't know... I don't own the P1. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Is there a way to protect it from water? I want to record outside but it is raining a lot, so being able to film in the rain would be so nice!
Hi Henriko, Yes there is: store.dji.com/nl/product/pocket-2-waterproof-case
Hoi Gijs, in your experience, does the P2 record longer (before the battery runs out or overheats) when it does not have the do-it-all attached?
Hi Marq, I don't know. I never use it without. Sorry 🙃. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Hi a fantastic channel. Can you tell me what is this jacket you are wearing at 10:09?
Hi Pietrach, Thank you for the very kind words. This is the jacket: kit.co/Outdoorguru/outdoor-gear/fjallraven-men-s-keb. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
You shoot a lot outdoors, so you probably found yourself in very bright days. How do you solve the exposición problem? Lowering the EV? ND filters?
Hi Sebastian, Most of the time its on automatic and that works very well. But is also possible to adjust most manual in Pro mode. Does this answer your question? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
You did a lot of explanation about different uses for external microphones, but what can you tell about the built-in ones after 1-year use? Have you used it at all? How is the sound quality in general? Will the built-in mics will be enough to capture the environment or people talking around the camera?
Hi Lovetsky, Did you also see my other video on the P2? In general sound with the mic (onboard and separate) is fine.Answer to you last question: Yes, but of course depending on circumstances. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great video. I cant get my head around AFs and AFC .
Is AFS like manual focus ? so you click on it once and it's focused at that point. So for example
Click AFS once on a landscape.
Move behind a rock ( rock should be blurred out)
Pan /slide left and landscape will be in focus.
AFC always does auto focus
Landscape is in focus
move behind rocK
and it will refocus on the rock
when would you use AFS vs AFC
Regards
Hi Bill, AFS is Auto Focus Single. Use it mostly for static recordings. With AFS you must touch the screen to set where the DJI needs to focus. When you hit the record button it will stay on this focus. I use this for shooting myself for example when doing on the go presentations. AFC is Auto Focus Continual and that means that when you are moving the focus should adjust and keep the object in focus. It is important to have a look at the yellow box on the screen. Thin lines: it has not grabbed on the object, thick lines it has. Press the yellow box on screen to lock your object. You will see a lock in the screen. The AFC mode is more dynamic and responsive but it works better with light scenes that don't have too much contrast. But... the P2 does F%$K up once in a while. I hope this helps. If not: let me know! Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews much appreciated
Hi, thanks for your video, very helpful, do you have any do you have any predictions when it comes Pocket 3?
Thanks 🙏 🇦🇱
Hi Albert, If I knew that answer I would be rich 🍾. I asked DJI but they don't tell 😄. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Hi, just bought my first pocket 2 and subscribed to your channel. Can you tell me if I can lock the exposure value to a general outdoor setting or do I have to manually set this each time I want to film something?
I also own a dji mini 3 pro drone and on that I can set an exposure value and each time the drone is switched on it remembers my settings.
So far I cant figure out if this is possible on the pocket 2?
Can you help by answering this please.
Many thanks Jon
Hi Jon, In Pro auto mode when you set the expose to - for example - -2.0 and shut down the camera, the next time when you start again it still is on -2.0. Is stil what you mean? Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Thanks I will try that
Hello, just wondering if this camera is still worth buying, as I am after something for vlogging around Tokyo as I am going over there in September, or if you recommend any other camera.
Hi TB, Sorry for the late reply but I am traveling and not always online. Yes, for sure it is. I use it almost every day 😁. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Does the headphone out actually work for you? I find it to be too quiet… am I missing something?
Btw… the correct way to store it should be with the motor protected (inside the case)… if you notice there’s the perfect round space for protecting the axis. I used to store it as you do but it just didn’t make sense so i checked how they actually pack it when it’s new and it’s the other way around: you turn it off and while it’s still locked you olace it in the case with the power button down.
Sorry i keep editing this msg haha.
Great video, super high quality and great indoor light too man. Thanks for publishing it
Hi Drew, Thanks for the compliments 🙏.Headphone out... works fine. I tried a Sony phone thingy, I iPhone and a very expensive Sony WH-1000XM4. Cheers, Gijs
Have you looked into changing the battery?
Hi Dave, No I have not. Did you? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Hi,
Were ND filters used in any of the footage shown and did you shoot in normal color or D-Cinelike?
Hi Big Ed, No ND, Normal color. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Dag Gijs,
Werd door jou overtuigd om een Cannondale Tesoro X1 te kopen. Mijn beste vriend geworden. Je gaf me inzicht waarop te letten. Gebruik hem met de Bosch Nyon 22. Formidabel!
Nu was er een test van deDJI Combo P2. Formidabel.
Toch een vraagje:
Hoe de Combo goed te fixeren op het stuur van een fiets (Cannondale).Is er wel een goeie oplossing?
Nogmaals dank,
Jef De Sutter
Belgie
Hoi Jef,
Ik heb gewoon een stuurhouder van GoPro en wat losse voetjes aan elkaar lopen schroeven. Stuur me even een mail. Dan stuur ik je wat links van wat zou kunnen werken.
Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
I looked at buy this for my channel when it was released. Never see your videos as id have bought it off the back of this and your last video. Now ive got the problem of do I buy a second hand one of these or wait for the P3 that's supposed to be coming next month. Have you been sent the P3 or are you not allowed to say ?
Hi Russ, Sorry for my late reply, but I was a bit busy. I don't have it... but I would wait for the P3. Mostly a new launch is followed by a price drop of the previous model. I am curious for the specs of the P3 so I will probably do a review on that one as soon as it comes available. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews I’ve since become bought a used one off a fellow CZcamsr for a reasonable price. Hopefully a new one comes as I’m really impressed with it so far. You’re video sold me so much that I needed to buy one asap! Looking forward to your review of the P3 if/ when it lands
Why is it that when I playback a video in DJI pocket 2, there is no sound? I can only hear the sounds of the videos when I transfer them to my phone.
Hi La Mama Diva, Because it is not designed this way. If you plug in a headset in the 3.5 mm jack... you have sound 😄. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews oh, got you. I end up buying the do-it-all-handle though. Thank you for your reply.
thanks for the review. what did you pay for it?
At that time full price at the DJI online. Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
I just hope it's has higher FPS for 1080p at least 120fps, but I see in the spec the highest is 60fps.

Hi Gijs, thanks for your latest update to you review of the DJI Pocket 2 Creator set (and especially the hints of using the wireless mic en other mics.
I have been thinking about purchasing this camera, but after rather extensive research on internet I am very doubtful about the purchase. Mainly because of a good number of reviews which mention all sorts of problems to get the needed app installed on Android smartphones. Can you (or anyone else reading this post) shed some light on this issue?
Best regards, Thijs.
Hi Thijs, Yes, I have read the issues too. I talked to DJI about this and they say the app is the same for Android and iOs so it is a matter of the manufacturer of the phone... I know... this does not help, but it is the reason why I use Apple. I have grown up with building my own window pc's and android in the beginnen. Dealing with problems like it is normal. Since the first iPad came into my life I changed everything. Writing this... I recently had a look at the latest Samsung tablets and they look to do a super job too. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Hi Gijs, thanks for taking time to react to my question.
So basically we've taken a step back in time of around 30 years, at witch time the industry coined the phrase "plug and play", which in reality meant "plug and pray" most of the times.
Guess I'll pass on the Pocket 2.
Kind regards, Thijs
@@thijsfeenstra8321 For sure I react (sometimes a bit slower). Back in time.... maybe Android is not keeping up the pace. I don't know. What i de know is that 30 years ago you needed 100K Euro or more to do what the DJI does for 300 Euro. That is progress😉
