The DJI Osmo Pocket is awesome for my baby hands and tiny handbag
But taking selfies made my arms sore
Before today, I was skeptical of the Osmo Pocket.
After getting my first iPhone five years ago, I’ve never once been tempted to buy a digital camera. Sure, a proper camera might help me get better images than a smartphone. But as anyone with small hands and weak arms knows, it’s a challenge to haul around anything that doesn’t fit into our bags. And female handbags can be pretty limited in their capacity.
It’s DJI’s smallest handheld gimbal camera by far -- shorter than a ballpoint pen, and weighing less than an iPhone X. It fits rights into my small palm. The purse I was carrying today wasn’t even large enough to hold my foldable umbrella, but it happily swallowed up the Osmo Pocket.
The story of drone pioneer DJI
The Osmo line are all about taking steady shots on the go. The image quality isn’t up there with a DSLR, and it’s not meant to be. The idea is instead to have a simple way to take steady video while walking or running.
