Initial Review Nov 16, 2021Most reviewers of this Feiyu Pocket 2 have experience with other Pocket video cameras. I'm a true Newbie in video. I've never used a Pocket camera like this. This review isn't about the differences with one of the other pocket video cameras on the market. It is about is my first impressions as a novice user.I am a still photo shooter with all of the equipment that goes with it; I have two camera bodies, eight lenses, color charts, speedlights, a light meter, tripods, off camera flash transmitters, and much more. All of that is heavy, bulky, and complex to use. But I may have recorded less than 10 hours of video over the past 10 years.Who is this camera for? If you are a vlogger this may be the best fit for you. It is wide angle so is easy to hold facing yourself. It has very good stabilization capability so is good for walking around uses. It is high resolution so fits in with other high end video cameras. If you just like shooting video, say of grandkids in action, this camera may also be for you.One of the things I found that I really liked was how quickly and easily I could take the camera out of it's case and start using it. One button to power it up, one button to start shooting. This is handier than my cell phone or any other camera I have.I did a test while walking through an airport boarding area. I both walked and then rode a moving sidewalk. The shaking of my walking and hand moving from the walking were almost completely smoothed by the Feiyu Pocket 2. The camera is so small people didn't notice I was shooting video. Because of the wide angle I was able to just roughly aim the camera in the direction I wanted to capture. I didn't have to hold the camera up to my face to watch what I was recording. I kept it at chest level.The quality of both video and still shots is remarkably sharp with good color.This little pocket video capture device is so small and simple, with long battery life, that I'm thinking it will be used a lot so we may break into a family that expands into the video field. The simplicity means I can ignore of those things that make video complex such as studio lighting, gimbals, new lenses, etc.We just returned from a weeklong vacation. I took this camera along. It fit easily into the lower pocket of my cargo shorts. It was easy to forget it was even there, yet it was readily available when I wanted to use it.A few years ago we had a GoPro but this pocket video camera form factor is easier to handle. The low portion of the Feiyu is a perfect fit in the hand. It can be used without screwing on any attachments that a GoPro demands.I wouldn't take my Sony Wireless camera and expensive lens on a roller coaster, but this little camera is so small and easy to hold it is perfect for capturing video while riding Big Thunder Mountain. This is expanding my hobby beyond still photos.The magnetic back could be handy. I imagine just locating a metal surface like a car, trash can, or sign pole, to hold the camera while recording some action.A nice feature is when the joystick is clicked three quick times the camera spins around 180 or back. The unfortunate thing is those three clicks are picked up and recorded on the video stream.Other reviewers complained about the audio recording feature. It certainly has the recording volume set quite low. The one video that I published was just too quiet. I had to run it through my video editing software to double the volume twice, for 4X, so it would be at a reasonable level. I hope a firmware update will fix this problem. There is an adapter available for an external microphone but that would subtract from the compact nature of this camera.I do recommend this camera
