The camera industry has come a long way in creating convenient technology, both in terms of usage and actual manufacturing. A road that first began with point-and-shoot cameras paved the way for GoPros and mobile phone camera technology that made it simple and efficient to capture moments on-the-go.

DJI is no stranger to releasing cutting edge tech when it comes to compact, innovative cameras – just look at their all-star lineup of drones that have conquered the market, with products ranging from beginner to advanced levels of operation. Their newest product brings no shortage of revolutionary tech – introducing the Osmo Pocket, the world’s smallest 3-axis stabilized 4K camera:

The idea was derived from it’s larger predecessor, the DJI Osmo, which gave us 120 fps and 4K Video at 24 or 25p. Take a look at the specs for the Osmo Pocket to see how it compares:

Take a look at this comparison with the Osmo Pocket on the far left, an electronic stabilized camera in the middle, and handheld on the far right. It is without a doubt their is true fluidity in this product. The Osmo Pocket uses DJI’s smallest 3-axis mechanical handheld gimbal. It “precisely adjusts for your movements, turning your handheld video of a golden sunset or your child’s first steps into a movie-like scene”.

“Osmo Pocket doesn’t just let you shoot smooth, cinematic footage. With access to several intelligent functions like ActiveTrack, Motionlapse, and 3×3 Panorama, Osmo Pocket unleashes your creativity with impressive effects that are impossible with smartphones.”
