A Pocket-Sized Filmmaking Group

A few years ago, we had to spend several thousand dollars to capture smooth motion with a camera. But now, with just one-tenth of that cost, we can put the same equipment in our pocket and go filming. This new and small device, which combines a large stabilizer with a camera, is called "Osmo Pocket." Osmo Pocket is a camera that combines a mechanical and electronic stabilizer and weighs only 116 grams. This device can be considered the smallest camera and image stabilizer in the world. One of the biggest problems in filmmaking, whether amateur or professional, is camera shake. If you place the camera on a tripod, you complicate the setup. While a tripod is a very practical method, for creativity and setting the scene, the user needs to be able to move the camera, but handheld camera movement is filled with annoying shakes for the audience. For several decades, very expensive stabilizers have been made, which are heavy and bulky. Perhaps with the mentioned points, one can understand how useful a camera with an image stabilizer that fits in your pocket, weighs 116 grams, and costs $349 can be for young filmmakers and those who want to capture their moments with suitable quality. This device can also be useful for filmmakers, journalists, or artists who do not want to carry expensive and heavy filming equipment. In this device, the camera on the three-axis gimbal uses a 1/2.3-inch sensor. This sensor is similar in size to GoPro cameras and DJI drones. The area of this sensor is almost four times larger than that of mobile phone cameras. The camera of this device records images in 4K quality at 60 frames per second with a bitrate of 100 megabits per second. This device can also take photos at a resolution of 12 megapixels. One interesting feature of this device is the ability to track subjects. This feature is very helpful for those who produce content on social media. Essentially, this device can perform this task for the user in the absence of an assistant, making content production less expensive. The Osmo Pocket can also capture time-lapse and hyper-lapse images. This device has a small one-inch touch display that allows the user to control the camera settings. The Osmo Pocket can be connected to a smartphone via a lightning port or USB-C. With the help of a special application developed by DJI for this device, images can also be broadcast on social media. The camera of this device uses a lens with an aperture size of f/2, and the field of view of this camera is almost similar to the human field of view. DJI is a Chinese company that has experienced remarkable growth in recent years and is considered one of the most creative companies in the world. This company is also one of the most famous in the field of commercial drones. With this new device, the Chinese company DJI has gone head-to-head with GoPro. It seems that the Osmo Pocket is targeting part of GoPro's market. GoPro, which is considered one of the strongest in the world in the field of small camera manufacturing, has introduced its seventh series of products. This camera can be considered the best product ever made in this field. GoPro has tried to produce many parts of this camera, such as its processor, exclusively. The "Hero 7 Black" is the best camera made by this company so far and has seen significant development in image stabilization features. However, these two systems have differences. It seems that GoPro is still more suitable for action work, while the Osmo Pocket is better for creative and inexpensive content production.
