DJI's Pocket 2 palm-size 4K vlogging cam improves on audio, video for $349

DJI's Pocket 2 palm-size 4K vlogging cam improves on audio, video for $349

Two years ago DJI released the Osmo Pocket, a tiny handheld 4K camera stabilized on a three-axis motorized gimbal. For the follow-up, the Pocket 2, DJI dropped Osmo from the name but bulked up on features and accessories to make it an even better option for creators looking to do more with less. 

Like the original, the Pocket 2 records 4K-resolution video up to 60 frames per second (at a 100Mbps bit rate) and full HD at up to 120fps for slow motion. However, it now has a larger 1/1.7-inch image sensor, which normally would mean larger pixels for better image quality. This one, though, is packed with way more pixels: The Pocket 2 can capture 64-megapixel photos or bin pixels together for 16-megapixel shots with less noise and better dynamic range. 

The Pocket 2 has four mics to track your subject's voice with the video.

DJI also uses that resolution to give you an 8x digital zoom in its 64-megapixel photo mode; a 4x lossless zoom when shooting 16-megapixel photos or 1080p video; a 3x zoom in 2.7K; and a 2x zoom in 4K. Of course, it's all fully stabilized, too, so you don't have to worry about adding any shake or jitter to your shots when you zoom in. 

The Pocket 2 also addresses one of its predecessor's biggest weaknesses: sound quality. The new Matrix Stereo system uses four mics strategically placed so you don't accidentally cover them with your hand or fingers. The camera can process the captured audio for better directional audio for when a subject is behind the camera or in front or both. Plus, it works with DJI's ActiveTrack 3.0 subject tracking to enhance audio based on the direction of the camera. The audio will also zoom with the camera. 

The $500 Pocket 2 Creator Combo.

Josh Goldman/CNET

Alone, the Pocket 2 has plenty to offer for $349 (£339, AU$599) when it arrives on Nov. 1. Paired with the camera's Creator Combo accessory bundle, though, it becomes a pretty amazing vlogging machine. For $500, you get the camera and case, a mini control stick, tripod mount, a magnetic wide-angle lens, a wireless mic pack and an attachable windscreen, a micro tripod and the Do-It-All Handle. The combo will be £469 in the UK and AU$799 in Australia.

The Do-It-All Handle is mainly a wireless adapter -- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth -- which makes it possible to connect your phone wirelessly to the camera for use with its Mimo mobile app as well as the Bluetooth mic. The handle also has a speaker and a 3.5mm audio jack. 

Without the handle, you can still connect your phone directly to the left side of the camera handle with included USB-C or Lightning adapters just like before. The mobile app lets you do everything from adjusting your camera settings and changing shooting modes to panning and tilting the camera and selecting subjects for tracking. Used with the Do-It-All Handle, the app makes it much easier to set up your shots on your own or have someone control the camera while you're out in front. 

The included case can hold the camera as well as the phone adapters, the wide-angle add-on lens and the mini tripod. 

Josh Goldman/CNET

The camera has updated shooting modes including a Pro mode for better control over exposure, white balance and ISO. You can also live stream directly to Facebook, YouTube or RTMP and there are new options for AI-powered editing so you can share completed projects straight from your phone with little effort. 

DJI also added the ability to turn on the camera and start recording with a single button press as well as drop protection that locks the gimbal in a safe position if it senses a fall.

DJI Mavic Air 2: Hands-on with DJI's amazing new folding 4K drone

DJI Mavic Air 2: Hands-on with DJI's amazing new folding 4K drone

Right now, DJI's new Mavic Air 2 camera drone can go where I can't. I live near a county park in New Jersey where I've tested out drones in the past but, with it closed to help flatten the coronavirus curve, flying there was out of the question. For me, at least. 

The Mavic Air 2 can fly farther and for longer than the original from 2018, and that's in spite of it being slightly larger and heavier at 570 grams (1.3 pounds). Its max flight time is now 34 minutes without wind, up from 21 minutes. (I got roughly 32 minutes of zipping around my backyard before it forced a landing.) Its max video transmission range has increased from 4 kilometers to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). With it I could stand outside the near-deserted 121-acre park -- an odd sight for a sunny spring Saturday -- and fly over its flowering trees and capture it all with the drone's new 4K-resolution camera even if I couldn't see them in person. 

The camera uses a larger 1/2-inch Quad Bayer image sensor behind an f2.8 24mm-equivalent lens. The sensor's design allows it to capture 48-megapixel images (here's a sample I shot) as well as 12-megapixel shots with less noise. There's a new SmartPhoto mode, too, that uses "advanced scene analysis and deep learning to automatically choose one of three processing options -- HDR, low light or scenery like snow or sunsets. 

As for video, the camera can record at up to 4K-resolution video at 60 frames per second, which is a first for a Mavic drone. The 4K video records at a higher bit rate of 120 megabits per second and it shows in the amount of detail. You can also record in HDR in 4K at 30 frames per second, which helps balance out things like clouds where you'd normally lose some detail in highlights as well bring up shadow detail. The Air 2 can do 1080p slow motion, too, at 120 and 240fps. It's nice to have the 240fps option, but it seems to come with a dip in video quality. The 120fps looked good, though. 

A new auxiliary LED helps you land after the sun sets. 

Joshua Goldman/CNET

One other new option is 8K-resolution hyperlapse, also known as a motion time lapse. It wasn't available in the firmware I tested, but will be partially available when the drone ships with more options coming with another update in June. You also get DJI's set of six automated QuickShot modes like Dronie, Helix and Rocket that perform complicated flight paths while keeping its camera on the subject you choose, creating perfect shareable clips. 

Like the original, the Air 2 can track subjects you select just by drawing a box around them on your phone's screen in the DJI Fly app. DJI updated its ActiveTrack mode for improved subject recognition and obstacle avoidance, so you can walk through trees or other obstacles and the drone will automatically go over or around. It may struggle with bare branches, but at least in my initial tests, it worked as promised. This model also has a Spotlight option so you can control the drone even while it's tracking so the camera is always locked on. You're able to do automate flight paths around a targeted point of interest, too. 

The redesigned controller is more comfortable and easier to set up and use. 

Joshua Goldman/CNET

Part of the reason it's able to do all of that is the sensors on the drone's front, back and bottom, what DJI calls its Advanced Pilot Assistance System. You can fly right at things and the drone will find its own path around or over obstacles and you get audible and visual warnings the whole time from the app and controller. 

This is also DJI's first consumer drone to include AirSense, which receives ADS-B signals from airplanes and helicopters. This gives you a notification on your screen so you know when there's air traffic in your area. DJI said the pandemic caused some supply chain issues, which will initially limit the availability of AirSense to Mavic Air 2s sold in North America where officials have implemented the strongest regulations. A version without AirSense will be sold in all other regions where ADS-B requirements for helicopters and planes are less strict. Units with AirSense will ship to regions outside North America this summer.

That's, of course, just the tip of what this drone is capable of and I haven't even gotten to its excellent new controller. It's larger than the last and instead of your phone awkwardly sandwiched below the controls, it's now clipped up top. Its sticks are still removable for travel and store in the bottom; you just pull them out and twist them in. 

Front and center is a switch for moving from normal to the slower Tripod or faster Sport modes (the Air 2 has a max speed of 68 kph or 42 mph in Sport). There's a programmable Function button on the top left that controls the drone's auxiliary LED light on its belly out of the box. Plus, on top, there's a dial for tilting the camera on its three-axis motorized gimbal and a trigger for capturing video or photos. Another button on front lets you toggle for switching between photo and video. 

DJI added a speaker to the back so you'll hear system warnings loud and clear. 

Joshua Goldman/CNET

I was only able to get a handful of test flights, but so far it's an impressive drone that flies smoothly and has an incredible feature set. And once restrictions are relaxed, this will likely be DJI's best consumer travel companion. The DJI Mavic Air 2 starts shipping on May 11 in the US starting at $799 for the drone, one battery and the controller. In the UK it'll be £769 and AU$1,499 in Australia. A Fly More package with a shoulder bag, ND filters, charging hub and three batteries will be available, too, for $988, £949 and AU$1,899.

Dji ronin rs 2 pro dji ronin rsc 2 pro combo dji ronin rsc 2 combo dji ronin rs3 rumors dji ronin rs2 app dji ronin s review dji ronin s vs sc dji store

DJI's Ronin returns as the RS 2, RSC 2 to stabilize cameras big and small

DJI's Ronin returns as the RS 2, RSC 2 to stabilize cameras big and small

As it does with its camera drones, DJI updated its Ronin-S and Ronin-SC three-axis camera gimbals based on feedback from professionals. The new models, the $849 RS 2 and $499 RSC 2, are lighter and more flexible in design while bulking up on features and without sacrificing battery life. In Australia and the UK, the prices for the RS 2 are AU$1,299 and £699, respectively, while for the RSC 2 they're AU$699 and £389. 

The RS 2, made to hold a payload of 4.5 kilograms (10 pounds), weighs only 1.3kg (2.9 pounds) due in part to a switch to a structure of carbon fiber. However, it still has a battery large enough to get it through 12 hours of use, and it can now be quick-charged in 15 minutes for an additional 2 hours of use. 

The stabilizer's algorithm has been optimized to actually learn how you use it and adjust the gimbal's tilt and angle accordingly. A SuperSmooth mode was also added that increases stability to accommodate longer lenses of up to 100mm. 

The RSC 2 has a Briefcase mode so it can be slung forward for lower shots. 

DJI

Other additions include axis locks that make it easier to balance and transport, an Arca-Swiss and Manfrotto-compatible mounting plate, a built-in 1.4-inch touchscreen for settings and camera framing, and a dial for focus adjustments. 

The RSC 2 is designed for smaller mirrorless cameras but with stronger motors can handle a dynamic payload of 3kg (6.6 lbs.). This means, like the RS 2, it can support more weight but performance might take a hit. Still, that's a lot of weight for a stabilizer that weighs only 1.2kg (2.7 lbs.). The RSC 2 also has up to 12 hours of battery life and a quick-charge option as well as axis locks and dual-layer camera mounting plate found on the RS 2. Instead of touchscreen, though, the RSC 2 has a 1-inch built-in OLED display. 

Both models were designed to do more with help from a growing list of accessories. Those include things like a cheese plate, a focus wheel, a dual-handle grip and DJI's RavenEye Image Transmission System for remote operation from up to 200 meters away. 

Both gimbals are available today from DJI and at retail. They can be purchased alone or as part of a Pro Combo with a phone holder, focus motor, RavenEye, a carrying case and more for $999 for the RS 2 and $739 for the RSC 2.

Drones, eco travel and more at the Gadget Show Live 2014

Drones, eco travel and more at the Gadget Show Live 2014

Andrew Hoyle/CNET

The Gadget Show Live is the UK's largest consumer technology showcase, where all manner of tech brands get together to show off their latest bits of kit. Held in Birmingham, the sparkling jewel of the Midlands, the show plays host to well-know brands like Sony and Samsung, along with a wealth of up and coming names. I hopped on a train to see what was on show.

Along with a slew of phone and tablet accessories, the show features new products from all categories. Music fans are well catered for, with headphones and speakers from Bowers and Wilkins, Pioneer, Libratone and audio streaming speakers from Musaic. Roland were there showing off their latest digital drum kit, the TD30K, which has hundreds of drum sounds on board recorded from actual drum kits to give a more realistic sound reproduction.

DJI's new Phantom 2 Vision+ led the charge in camera-equipped drones. Unveiled only last week, this quadrocopter has a built-in camera with stabiliser for smooth video from the air. It's incredibly easy to fly too, but it will set you back around £900. Parrot's AR Drone 2 comes in at around £350 and can be controlled from your iPhone.

Eco travel was a big theme from the show this year, with electric scooters, electric cars and a solar powered concept car from Cambridge University making appearances. Only 200 of Volkswagen's futuristic-looking XL1 cars will be made -- and will sell for £111,000 -- but their hybrid engines can achieve an astonishing 313 miles to the gallon. Can you afford not to get one? Yes, probably.

So is the Gadget Show Live worth attending? If you're a keen gadget nerd, then absolutely. Apart from getting up close and personal with the latest kit such as the Sony Xperia Z2 -- which is yet to even hit the shops -- you'll see a whole array of top-end gaming chairs, remote control cars, actual cars, headphones and loads of stuff that you wouldn't find in your typical branch of Currys.
