DJIPocket2
Camera and Vid
22/04/25 22:47
Have been enjoying using my new camera (the DJI Pocket 2) around town and about. It’s a bit fiddly—as it can do so much—and I’m still getting used to it. As well as straightforward photos and videos I have tried using the Hyperlapse a couple of times which produces quite cool results. I’ve even tried making a wee YouTube video with it (using footage I took with the camera in the Vines/Big House).
The Vines YouTube vid.
I’m at the bottom of the learning curve for both the camera and the video software (LumaFusion) and it will undoubtedly take quite a while for me to get to grips with. We’ll see how things improve over the coming weeks and months I guess. Practice makes perfect. Here are a few example photos and vids I’ve taken to date and a link to the YouTube vid. I dare say these will act as a baseline to judge any improvements I can make.

The DJI Pocket 2 is in the House

The DJI Pocket 2 has arrived and is finally in my clumsy paws. It looks brilliant, but there will be a lot to learn about it—and additional things like video editing. It’s the start of a wee journey. Although it may be a complicated one too.
I’ve tried a few things with it so far and whilst I haven’t always got it right on the first go I hasn’t taken too long. I’ve got it following me in Selfie mode and recorded myself walking along the road with it to see what the gimbals do for me both in Selfie and non-selfie modes.
I think with just a few days of recording little bits I should learn a fair bit.
Next up after getting used to the filming I’ll have to learn about the best way of editing. I dare say I’ll start with using iMovie on my MacBook, but I’ll probably give a few other apps and sites a go too—like CapCut on my iPad.
