I've seen some pretty awesome cameras out there, and I had the pleasure of using some of them... but the DJI Pocket 2 really turned my head. It's a little beast... from what I see.
It's a handheld video camera that gives you the ability to actively track without the need for an additional device or the overwhelming price tag. The DJI Pocket 2 comes in at $349. It has the ability to not only face track, but also voice track. I was straight up like... "Oh heck yeah".
The DJI Pocket 2 almost reminds me of an electric toothbrush based on its shape... but it's functional (from what I see). I'd shrug at this little device... if the specs weren't so badass, and even though I see the results of the visuals (the company presented), my fingers are crossed that these are factual results because great functions are actually unfortunate and even sad sight if they're on a device that doesn't deliver. That would be a complete waste of innovation... and the Wunder360 is a prime example of this... which is why pending tech that's subject to change before release... shouldn't have reviews set in stone (ever).
