If I agree with webrunner with the fact that the Osmo Pocket is unique, and there is nothing on the market to replace it, that’s not a reason to forgetthat there is a lot of AF issues that make this device unreliable. Go read yourself the Dji Forum threads, and you will be surprised, Yeah but what doesn't have problems in that price range? I know my GoPros are not the best in the world. Good, but not great. And you want to go with a Canon GX7 mk II. Not so hot either AF wise. Even the Canon M50 is not too good in 4K without the DPAF function. There just isn't many cameras under 3000 dollars that have great AF, especially in video. Actually No camera is great other than the C series from Canon for video AF with the DPAF. Maybe the 1D mk II is? Well eye focus face detection is not too bad on Sony and the eye detection on the Nikon. Really some of the Smartphones are pretty damn good for video AF. I think they are using DPAF. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1&q=canon+g7xII+AF+issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go read yourself the Dji Forum threads, and you will be surprised, Well this can confirm your concerns. But I would never use it for Vlogs. So that might solve some of the focus problems for my use. Overall I just don't see what I could replace it with that is so compact and easy to use. And easy to just hand off to someone and easy for them to use. I think that might be the biggest plus for it. Your wife, Kids can just grab it and go. There are times you just want to have fun and not worry about stuff. Just turn it on and go.

If my smartphone had as good of stabilization I would never have even mentioned it on here LoL. That is what separates it from the pack to me. Well and the size, form factor also. My Apple XS is defiantly better at stabilization than my X was, but it still sucks walking, running, well I can't run but... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbro Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Pixel 3 looks about as stable to me as pocket, since pocket is so small, people bounce that little camera up and down. They both undeniably produce a cell phone footage look vs even 1" sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Yeah but toward the end at the mushroom part was really bad, and I find trying to hold a smartphone level for extended times is Really hard to do. But yeah over that looked pretty good. The phones are getting better. Well really Everything is getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 ND review for the Osmo Pocket. https://www.newsshooter.com/2019/01/17/pgytech-osmo-pocket-pro-filters-review/ Cinegain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Think I might be getting the ones from the BEHORSE store on Ali ~ https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/New-Optional-OSMO-Pocket-Lens-Filter-Kit-Accessories-ND4-8-16-32-64-PL-CPL-UV/237708_32962997409.html Those are the 'Sunnylife' ones that claim imported German glass (Schott) as well (like some of the regular camera lens Zomei filters used to say). These Polar Pros are probably the most legit: https://www.polarprofilters.com/collections/osmo-pocket-filters-accessories and also the priciest, lol. Looking forward to be puting my OsPo to use in Cape Town, SA next week! webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to be puting my OsPo to use in Cape Town, SA next week! Sunnylife in general seems to bring some color cast in most of their filters. I am reading good things about the Pgytech ones, and of course the Polar pro. Cinegain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbro Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I just wanted to drop in and immaturely say the osmo pocket sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Ah, hi Steve Huff! ?? I think it's perfectly usable. Aside from the slowmo that I find rather poor noisy and smudgy quality even in very bright conditions and the glitchy at best wireless connectivity with the accessory that's finally in, I find it alright... that is with the little time I've been trying it out. There's nothing quite like it, really. Guess it really depends what you expect/want from it. Do hope that like the Mavic series they'll come with a Gen II Osmo Pocket 2 Pro and Zoom, now that would be interesting. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Steve Huff doesn't really like Anything unless it says Leica on it. And even Leica has had it's fair share of turds. Most negative guy on the web. I gave up watching him for over 3 minutes at a time. What ever he likes is the greatest thing ever made. What he doesn't like is total shit. Crazy person.

Yeah he bought a 5400 dollar 1D mk II to Vlog with, So that tells you something. Maybe he will start using the Sony A6400 for that. ? He did go to the San Diego Sony thingy for it.

Emanuel Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 WOW oh time to remind when... ...kid I was going to the world's famous rally ever: http://www.car-poster-gallery.com/original_raceposter_rallye_portugal_1992_lancia_delta_integrale_poster_12923.html webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 If you are a Lancia fan like me this video is Hog Heaven LoL. Not sure I would want to be in the passenger seat on these runs. WOW is right. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Markku Alén won five times (1975-78, 1981* with the mythical Abarth and again twelve years later in 1987 with the older Integrale's brother) the Portuguese major competition. As matter of fact, our rally follows his native 1000 Lakes where he took 6 triumphs and has the 2nd rank along his WRC victories only a year later. Until then, Portugal ranked first. Without mention where he got his 1st important victory in a world class rally ever, to succeed many others in the following dozen years. He was one of my 1st heroes, so it is very nice to see him around and pretty on the spot, buddy! (E : -) * Someone still keeps the wheel he lost in 1981 when he got his 3rd cup, can you imagine? webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
