Finally Making the Leap
Happy National Recovery Plan (NRP) Phase 4, Kuala Lumpur!
This was it — we finally made up our minds to invest in the DJI Pocket 2, hoping it would replace the hefty setup we had been using all this while. The Lumix GX85 mounted on the Zhiyun Crane M2, sitting on the Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod, had produced some amazing footage… but it simply wasn’t practical, especially during holidays.
Our recent trip to Ipoh made it clear: we needed to scale down our gear so we could enjoy our travels without being weighed down by equipment.
The Altech “Super Combo”
We made enquiries at several camera shops, and Altech Camera came out on top. They offered what they called a “super combo” — essentially the DJI Pocket 2 Creator Combo plus a generous collection of accessories: a third party power bank, chest strap, car windscreen holder, and many other goodies too numerous to list. All for just RM200 on top of the Creator Combo price.
A deal too good to pass up.
With the DJI Pocket 2 in hand, we hoped to continue producing content without lugging around heavy gear. And if all goes well (weather permitting), we plan to make a trip to the East Coast, where we hail from, to showcase its many attractions and cuisine.
A Small Hiccup at Lunch
We headed down to the lower ground floor for lunch at Taste of Asia Food Court. It was there that I realised — to my horror — that the Pocket 2 had no memory card inserted, which meant we couldn’t test it immediately.
After lunch, we went back up to Altech Camera to ask for the cheapest memory card available, and Eric was more than happy to help.
First Impressions: Blown Away
With the memory card sorted, we began testing our little pocket dynamite — and we were blown away by how smooth the footage was. We walked around Berjaya Times Square, capturing clips effortlessly, and eventually took away fried chicken from 4Fingers, a firm favourite of our son.
We then hailed a Grab home and marvelled at the steady shots from inside a moving vehicle — something we constantly struggled with using our old setup.
Here’s to Better Content
All in all, the DJI Pocket 2 felt like the right decision. Compact, powerful, and incredibly easy to use — exactly what we needed.
Here’s to better, lighter, and more enjoyable content in the future.
