OSMO POCKET Introduction from purchasing to using it. Can also be used for Aikido training!

Hello, this is Taiko!

I finally bought "OSMO POCKET"!
Now you can stream Aikido videos and other videos that might be useful to everyone as content.
So this time, we will introduce everything from purchasing to basic operations for "OSMO POCKET."

This article will be especially useful to those who:

I took a picture with OSMO POCKET!

What kind of videos can I get with OSMO POCKET?
I'm still a beginner, but I tried taking regular videos, "slow motion" and "time lapse."

Comparison of OSMO POCKET and iPhone

When I bought it, I was wondering how much of a difference is there from the iPhone?
Isn't that the case?

So I took photos and videos on my iPhone and OSMO POCKET in the same place.
OSMOPOCKET is set as it was when purchased. I haven't messed around at all.
My iPhone is 7.

Comparison by photo

First, let's start with the photos.

The photo on the iPhone on the right seems more vivid than OSMOPOCKET.

Let's compare one more.

The blue is definitely different.
The overall color of OSMOPOCKET seems pale.

In the photo, does it seem like the iPhone has some varieties?
It's up to you to your liking, but some people may like the lighter colours of OSMO POCKET.

This alone doesn't really determine whether it's good or bad, so decide based on each person's preferences.

Comparison by video

Now let's compare the video.
It's a 10-second video, but let's check the degree of shaking.

As OSMO POCKET is a gimbal, you can see that there is much less shaking than the iPhone.

Next I'll try running.

When I drive, my iPhone gets quite shaky. And it's not in focus either. . .
In this regard, as OSMOPOCKET is a gimbal, you can see that there is less shaking.

Other techniques include securing the camera and taking pictures from a roller coaster-like perspective.
However, this time I decided to compare and verify the basic video.

Incidentally, I also filmed my Aikido rehearsal video with OSMO POCKET.
It's a bit dark because it has filter 16 attached.

Overview of OSMO POCKET and how to purchase

First, we will explain the overview of OSMO POCKET and how to purchase it.

About OSMO POCKET

OSMO POCKET is a high-performance, small gimbal camera released by DJI.
It is a tool that is loved by major YOUTUBER and bloggers, and has an incredible influence.
Until now, professionals have spent money on creating videos, and even amateurs can easily create them, so I recommend it.

A "gimbal" can be said to be a camera rotating table for smooth video recording.
When you actually take a picture, the head of the camera moves in a constant state of chasing the object.

I think the following specifications should be known to beginners:

How to buy and what to buy first

I think there are three items you should buy first:

1OSMO POCKET main unit

I only purchased the main unit from the official website.
Of course, you can also purchase from Amazon or Rakuten.

2microSD card

Next is the microSD card for recording.
Nowadays, some of them can record large volumes, so buy something that can store a lot.
We recommend that you make it at least 32GB.

Additionally, OSMO POCKET can also shoot in 4K, but requires 1.4 times the capacity of Full HD.
For more information about microSD cards, please see the following website very helpful:

How to choose the best microSD card for OsmoPocket and find the recommended microSD card that won't make a mistake...

https://www.alphalog-photo.com/entry/osmopocket_microsd

The handy type gimbal camera "OsmoPocket" is released by DJI. Thanks to the gimbal, it is popular as a small camera that allows you to capture smooth images. However, even if you buy an OsmoPocket, the recording medium, will not come with a microSD, so you will have to prepare it separately. Some people may have never used a microSD. So this time, what's the best microSD for OsmoPocket? I'll explain this question.

I bought a 128GB card.

This microSD card meets the writing speed recommended by DJI, and is perfect for 4K shooting.
Of course, other cards are fine too.

3Lens and LCD display protection film

Next is the "lens and liquid crystal display protection film."
Make sure that your lenses don't get fingerprints or dirt on them.
This film is important for this.
I think there are 2 to 4 of them, so keep them in good condition.

4Mobile battery

Finally,
the OSMO POCKET mobile battery lasts around 70 minutes, but if you're going to get serious, you'd want it to run for 2-3 hours.
That's where you'll need a mobile battery.

Especially this! That's not the case, but it's best to use it as light as possible.
It's difficult to handle heavy objects hanging when filming.

OSMO POCKET accessories

It arrived at my home about 4 days after I ordered it.
Let's open it right away.

It includes the main unit and the case for the main unit, micro USB and Lightning connection terminal, instruction manual and strap.
It also had a charging cable.

This includes the microSD cards, films, and mobile batteries that we explained in the previous chapter.
This means we have a minimum set of filming.

Let's take a picture now!

Something useful to have

Basically, you can still take photos like this, but here are some useful accessories to have.
Mainly the following four

1Tripod screw adapter

The OSMO POCKET itself does not have screw holes to secure the tripod.
Therefore, you will need a dedicated adapter to connect.

If you are actually going to shoot videos, you will probably leave them somewhere for a long time, so it will definitely be necessary.
With this adapter, you can attach various tripods, so we recommend purchasing them.

2Tripod Gorilla Pod Magnetic N

There are also a variety of tripods, as well as regular, sturdy tripods.
Here we recommend Gorilla Pod Magnetic.

It can be used like this.

This is an excellent product that allows the legs to be transformed into various shapes, so they can be tangled with pillars, fences, etc. to secure them!
Of course, you can also keep it fixed like a regular tripod.

3ND filter

An ND filter is like OSMO POCKET sunglasses.
One of the problems when taking photos of cameras is strong sunlight such as backlight.
It's a great thing that holds this down like sunglasses.
On the other hand, they also give clear photos of dark places.

Let's take a picture a little.

The way the sun enters has been changed, but you can see that the whiteness is reduced.
Bring it with you to prevent backlighting, so I don't think it's a good idea to bring it with you.

summary

Thank you for reading to the end!

This time, we explained everything from purchasing OSMOPOCKET to taking basic photos and videos.
I'm happy that the price of the unit has been reduced recently.
This is a camera that requires accessories in some way ^^;

It's reasonably priced for a high-performance camera, and can also take videos that are shot by major YOUTUBER.
That's why it's sure to make your future video life more enjoyable.

Well, I'm still not really good at using it, so I'll be doing various experiments!
Don't you think slow motion shooting of Aikido demonstrations is particularly interesting?

So, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Have a fun OSMO POCKET life for everyone!
