DJI Osmo Pocket Charging Case - 1500 mAh of Power Charging Case, Fast and Safe, Practical Design, DJI Osmo Pocket Accessory Case, Charging on the Go, Convenient for Storage - Black

Being able to get my Pocket and other cameras over head height has often proved useful but the poles I used could be cumbersome with some form of phone clamp fitted plus a mount for the camera. This purpose made pole looked worthwhile but at a high price. Now I have used it I think it is well worth the price and a great addition to my Pocket kit.The whole thing seems well made and the length is enough to reach over heads or use as a selfie stick. The phone holder easily takes my iPhone XS Max and the fitting for the camera was at first sight a little basic but I then found the pole actually locks onto the camera's phone adapter.The next part of the set up was to connect the phone to the camera and here I thought I had a problem. On my DIY rigs I had been using a lightning extension cable with one end plugged into the iPhone connector on the camera and the other to the phone but of course the iPhone connector on the cameras is now used to connect to the extension rod and links to the handle buttons. I did not want to buy the DJI wi-fi adapter as its something else to take battery power and another expense but other reviews said it could be a cabled connection. Eventually discovered that the power connecter also takes data and a half metre lightning to USB C cable is perfect for the job. No playing with wi-fi or adding weight to the camera. Just plug the phone in and it opens the DJI app ready for use. I am guessing that as the camera is not using power to send wi-fi and the phone is not using power to receive it the cable solution should increase battery life on both camera and phone. Not tested this though.In use I am impressed. I have been in the habit of controlling the camera from the phone screen but the buttons on the extension are so much easier. Initially slightly confused as I assumed, wrongly, that the button numbers shown on the description in the tiny user guide would refer to the numbers on the diagram. They actually refer to hard to see printing on the buttons and are different references. Once I sorted that out the only problem I had was one button which cycles through three operation modes but with the camera screen blank the phone screen did not seem to show the mode, which was a real nuisance. Finally found a small icon on the lower right of the phone display which when clicked brings up a box showing the mode. The box stays in place until turned off unless you touch the screen again for another reason and does not get in the way of viewing so solves the problem.My conclusion is that this is a very worthwhile addition to the camera. Not for use all the time as it rather defeats the point off the tiny pocketable camera but its not huge and not heavy so good to have around. My only minor reservation is that its battery can only be charged via the camera charging socket. How hard would it have been to fit a socket so it could be charged while the camera was in use.

Great product. Extends the reach of the camera and charges it at same time

I find this a primary accessory for the Osmo Pocket, it makes gimbal movements much easier to control and adds a bit of extra security to handling the Osmo (use a simple and cheap wrist strap to loop over it before sliding into place). Additional buttons also add some extra functionality. The only gripe is the price, but it is well made and seems robust, also, if bought with the wireless module in the expansion pack it does save a little money over individual purchases

Really this is a pack of essentials to get the most out of your Osmo Pocket - the wireless adaptor making a good stand for doing motion lapses with and the control wheel for precision pan and tilt of the gimble.I have the new control joystick that got released with the Osmo Pocket 2 as well but have gone back to the wheel as its silent in use where as the joystick is noisy in use and gets picketed up by the internal microphones.The current £69 price tag on Amazon seems to be fair for what you get the £99 full price is just too much.

I love this accessory - it provides faultless panning and tilting and is so good it really should be part of the original package with the Osmo Pocket, I would gladly have paid more for the camera instead of having to order separately. The control is digital proportional, ie the further you move the wheel the faster the pan or tilt occurs, the less you move the wheel the slower, this allows for very fine control - build quality is excellent and I thoroughly recommend this device

Awesome but if kit to store and charge your Osmo Pocket.It gives it extra protection, moreso than the case it comes with out of the box.Keeps charging the camera when inserted and the ease of use when plugging in a USB C lead, only takes an hour or so to fully charge and it's just a great little contingency when travelling.It's only a bit bigger than the camera itself, it's a nice sleek design, it's not without it's minor flaws but when you weigh up the Pro's and Cons of just keeping the camera on it's original out of the box case, it just gives you piece of mind.The camera itself is awesome in many ways and is prefer to keep it safe with this charging case is in added layer of protection.

A very nice bit of kit, makes the gimble respond much faster than the joy stick real easy to switch between pan and zoom up and down, a little more bulky than the joy stick version but still fits in the sleeve and into your pocket 😀 very user friendly.

Very poor product, used it once, worked fine. Put it away for 3 months and now states contril wheel attached but doesn't work. Even after cleaning the contacts and resetting the pocket camera. Don't waste your money. There are plenty of buyers online with the same issue and dji haven't sorted it.
