“I don't really mind it because the Pocket 2 is still available and it is a very capable device and I actually still use it a lot.”

“With the Pocket camera from DJI I always found myself grabbing it throwing it in my bag and using it as a b cam to my main camera when I needed a gimbal shot and then that way you don't have to carry around a big heavy gimbal for your main camera”
