Hi,

I'm seriously considering getting one of these, either the original or the Pocket 2.
Planning to use it for just video mainly, though the stills capacity seems great too. I'm not bothered about 'vlogging' but like the flexibilty to do that easily if required.

Is there anything people have found that isn't very good, or they wished they bought another camera? Or not bought one?
I've historically used mainly DSLR cameras and have some decent mics, but it is all big and clunky and technology and quality seems to have advanced so much of late.

Won't be using it underwater etc or doing anything crazy, or the GoPro route would be the way to go.

Any comments appreciated.
Cheers.

My daughter got one. Not bad but on balance I'd say my GoPro (7 black) is better all round on the image side of things although you do have to get the gimbal separately.

I use mine quite a lot. The built in gimbal is excellent and the whole unit fits easily into pockets in jeans, which makes carrying it around easy. Picture quality is good and I guess my only gripes are that it sometimes hunts for focus for a couple of seconds when you first hit record and the square display screen doesn't show you all of a 16:9 image. I find it much better than using a GoPro for handheld stuff.
