DJI Osmo Pocket vs DJI Osmo Action: which one you should buy?

DJI Osmo Pocket vs DJI Osmo Action: specifications

In terms of specifications, both of the photosensitive elements use the same 1/2.3 inch photosensitive element, which can take 12 million pixel photos and up to 4K/60P video format. The aperture of DJI Osmo Pocket is f2.0 and the action uses the aperture of f2.8, which means that the shallow depth of field effect can be obtained on the DJI Osmo Pocket. In the darker place, the screen of the Pocket will be clearer. However, the DJI Osmo Action lens uses three aspherical lenses, plus the deformation suppression function (Dewarp), which is more effective in suppressing the image distortion.

Basic specification overview:

DJI Osmo Pocket vs DJI Osmo Action: slow motion

In slow motion, DJI Osmo Action can shoot 1080/240p (8x) slow motion images, which is twice as much as Pocket's 1080/120p (4x).

DJI Osmo Pocket vs DJI Osmo Action: image

From the range of the picture, if you hold DJI Osmo Pocket while taking a selfie, you still need to stretch your hand to take your head and shoulders. On the contrary, because DJI Osmo Action lens has a wide range of relationships, the hand can shoot the same picture without completely straightening.

DJI Osmo Pocket vs DJI Osmo Action: stability

In terms of stability, DJI Osmo Pocket has a built-in three-axis stabilizer that does not affect the image quality when it is stable. DJI Osmo Action uses the Rocksteady method to process it. When it is turned on, it will be cut by about 15~20%. The left and right pictures, although still wider than the Pocket after cutting, should theoretically affect the performance of the original image quality, and the degree of influence may depend on the degree of shaking.

Compared with DJI Osmo Action, there is a face tracking function on DJI Osmo Pocket, which can make up for the problem that the wide-angle end is not wide enough. But beware that it only tracks face movements, not face and focus.

The periphery of the two machines is fairly complete, but because the appearance of the DJI Osmo Action is similar to that of other manufacturers, and there is a common fixed way, DJI Osmo Action naturally has a more diverse choice in the selection of accessories.

DJI Osmo Pocket vs DJI Osmo Action: stability: battery life

In terms of battery life, the DJI Osmo Pocket can record about 140 minutes in 1080p / 30P, and DJI Osmo Action in the same configuration can record about 135 minutes (Rocksteady mode is off). Although both units can be connected to an external power supply, DJI Osmo Action has a replaceable battery design that is more convenient if it is outdoors for a long time.

Verdict

In summary, the two products do not actually conflict, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. DJI Osmo Pocket is more suitable for more static shooting, and DJI Osmo Action is more suitable for more intense dynamic sports photography.
