Excellent portable stabilized camera
The Feiyu Tech Pocket 2 is an excellent handheld stabilized camera, and I absolutely love it! Prior to getting the Pocket 2 I had experience with several different cameras, including the first generation of the DJI Pocket and DJI Osmo Action, plus a few other ones, but I think by far the Pocket 2 by Feiyu Tech is the best of them all. There are a lot of positives to be discussed about this gimbal camera and only a few negatives to be mentioned, but before that a few quick words about the packing and presentation. The Pocket 2 comes in a great retail package, very solid and protective, with images of the product and some of the technical specs outlined as well, inside the box, you have the camera, a good printed in English user manual, perfect carrying case, charging cable USB-A to USB-C and a wrist strap.Positives:- Compact, yet packed with features and functionality - The camera weighs only 127 grams, it can be packed in anything, including most pockets, which is exactly the whole purpose of it, to be carried in a pocket and use it whenever needed with a quickness. Despite the small body, the Pocket 2 can film in 4K while stabilizing the footage too.- All metal body - Very solid construction, there is nothing that feels cheap with this one, no plastics or thin materials used here, very well put together.- Built in microphone and speaker - The camera is ready to record not only video but stereo sound as well and the footage can be reviewed on the screen and you can hear the sound on the built in speaker.- External microphone capability - This is one of my favorite features actually, for a better sound quality it is always recommended to use a higher quality external microphone. I even tested it with a wireless external microphone and it worked great.- 3 Axis stabilization - The 3 axis gimbal is flawless, it is helping to stabilize the image footage even in extreme situations when running, jogging or playing some sports.- Up to 512GB MIcro SD card support - The card I am using is 256 GB, but double that size is supported as well and all that storage translates to 9 hours with the maximum quality of 4K at 60 frames or 20 hours with 1080P at 60 Frames.- 1.3 Inch touch screen - Big enough and bright screen with touch functionality and most of the options and menus are done using the touch screen.- 130 degree wide view, 1/2.3 Cmos sensor, video, time-lapse, slow motion video, single Shot, panorama, motion lapse, hyper lapse, and face tracking options.- 875mAh battery with fast charging - It takes about an hour and twenty minutes to change the battery and a little over two hours to drain it while filming in 4K 60FPS.- Built in quarter inch thread on the bottom for attaching tripods, arms and other extensions.- Magnetic base, allowing the camera to be easily attached to any metal surface that can accomodate magnets.- No need to install apps on smartphones or tablets to control the camera, although it is possible, not necessary.- Super quiet motor operation, you can barely hear the stabilizer and the camera moving.- Thumb joystick control, very easy and convenient to navigate and control the camera without having to use multiple controls.Negatives:- The image quality is still not perfect, especially in dark environment situations, I wish that they did some more tuning to deliver a crispier image.- The battery life could be better, I know that in order to keep the small size the battery can't really be too big, but it is wishful thinking. Also the battery is not replaceable.- Digital zoom, not as useful as optical zoom, naturally the image quality degrades if you are using it.- Still images only at 12MP, kind of low considering that a lot of smart phones do 64 and even 128MP images nowadays.- No water resistance of any kind, without an additional protective case.- Still pretty expensive at $369 and at this price is even more expensive compared to its biggest competitor the DJI Pocket 2.Overall, a great little camera by FeiyuTech that is packed with features and offers plenty of functionality for videographers, photographers, bloggers and other filming enthusiasts.
