Left/right.The 2 buttons allow you to control your Pocket much more with ease. Single and double tapping the left allows you action tracking or basic tracking.

Far too much to fully explain in a review.☆The wireless module allows access to your mobile device that's connected through the DJI MIMO app. When you are using this wireless module to your mobile device and using the DJI OSMO Pocket DJI Extension Rod (selfie stick) you won't have to use a wire connecting both.

These accessories are really needed to have a complete package. Frankly, they should just come with the OSMO. But they are not perfect.The wireless module actually connects to your phone via WiFi. The bluetooth connection is used only briefly to pass the wifi password to your phone. So saying it has bluetooth capabilities is not really true. It does not allow you to connect to your phone in any useful way via bluetooth. The wifi connection works fine on my iPhone. But I cannot connect to a wifi hotspot and the Osmo at the same time.The controller wheel is handy - it's the only practical way to control the pan or tilt. But you can only control one at a time. You have to flip a switch to choose which axis you are going to control. A joystick would be much more useful, as you could control both axes at the same time.The Accessory Mount is great for attaching the Osmo to anything your heart desires. It uses a GoPro style mount which is on the back side of the handle. You'll need to dig deep into your GoPro mount collection to actually mount it to anything, because the GoPro mount faces away from the camera rather than down. It also blocks the port on the Osmo, so you have to remove the controller wheel or the teeny-tiny phone connector or the port cover to use the mount. The wireless module can stay in place.I wouldn't hesitate to buy this bundle. All three items (4 if you include the SD card) add to the usefulness of the Osmo. But they all have their own limitations as well. They make the Osmo better, but they don't make it a replacement for a higher end camera on a dedicated gimbal.

The three accessories are very useful, specially the wireless module that allows the Pocket (1 or 2) to connect to the DJI Mimo app on a phone. The only issue is that the wireless module doesn't have a way to attach it to a tripod and another accessory is needed. The price of these three accessories (around $45) is very affordable and if you mainly need wireless connectivity, this is much cheaper thant DJI's Do-It-All handle which costs around $99. If you need to attach the wireless module to a tripod, you will need the Ulanzi Tripod Adapter Base for around $10

ProsEverything is great and works perfectly for my OSMO Pocket. Controller Wheel is easy to use. Wireless Module was super easy to install and connect to phone. Accessory Mount fits perfectly, just need to get some gopro mounts to use it.ConsOnly con that I have is the micro SD card. Although the 32gb should be suffice for some users, I think the expansion kit should have a 128gb SD card. But that is just personal preference.
