It has been almost a year since Fimi palm was released, and now just follow the step of DJI pocket 2, Fimi palm 2 is now available for preorder on some retailer like Pergear at a price of 199 dollars that is so much cheaper than what you have to pay for dji pocket 2 which is 349 $.
Demension and Weight
Let’s see the specification of the FIMI palm 2 is 145g and in size of 32.5*35.5* 132.5 mm，while the former version FIMI palm weights as light as 120g in a compact size of 30.5*22.7*127mm, 25g heaveier but considering the inhanced 5-hour battery time, it is not a surprise, and also the size is a bitter larger than it’s former version. The demension for DJI pocket 2 is 38.1*30 *124.7mm, so the size is not much difference between these two,
5-hour Battery time
The battery capacity it’s really exciting because they’ve actually put a proper big fat juicy battery the capacity is at wait for it 2 600 mAh that is huge because why dji pocket 2 the capacity is only at 875 Aah. Actually DJI engineers should see this article, why the battery life is so small ? okay, if i took it to my travel , it’s good enough , however it will not there’s no way it’s gonna last me day and night during my travel. However with 2 600 mah it should last me during daytime all the way to the night time so they claim that the battery should last about five hours however you’re not gonna film non-stop for five hours so that really should get you plenty of nice footage of your trip.
Enhanced Image sensor , 128° view angle, aperture size f 2.4, 4k resolution, etc.
All right so let’s go through the specs together and actually compare it directly against you know what you get with pocket 2.
So image sensor is the most important apparently it’s an improved sony sensor however the sensor size is still smaller than what you get with pocket 2 . so i’m curious about you know the night time performance and so on whether you would be able to see much difference.
The view angle is much wider at 128 ° it’s keeping the same as the femi palm one that field of view would be much wider than what you get with pocket two which i’m already very happy with at 93 °.
And the aperture size is f 2.4 so i would expect that perhaps the night time it may not be as bright as f 1.8 you can see in pocket 2. However you have to be always mindful about the price difference at the end of the day and ISO range it’s higher in pocket too. It also comes down to the brightness as well as just general performance i’m just curious to see whether my eyes can see much difference in those however maybe during daytime maybe you can not see too much difference.
let’s see how it goes image pixel is 12 megapixel i was actually happy with what we got with femi palm one however yes with pocket two that i already own i can enjoy up to 64 megapixels although i kind of still prefer my mobile phone photo and for video resolution they do have 4k up to 30 frames per second not 60 frames per second which you can find at 2.7 k resolution but for that price i think that’s handy and i don’t really care too much about the slow motion whatever as long as the quality is decent with mini cameras such as pocket 2 i was like a little bit disappointed with slow motion so now.
Smart tracking, panorama shots and built-in joystick
Smart tracking with the first device i thought tracking was totally fine and they have this interesting built-in story mode so does it make all the editing even
filming a lot easier i’m really excited to find out about that because a lot of times when you want to then connect back to mobile phone it gets a bit cumbersome let’s see what this built-in story mode is all about.
As it’s also the three axis gimbal camera you would expect you know the panorama shots and also motion time lapse hyperlapse etc and the design now it seems like you can actually put in the audio jack so you can actually use your lav mic directly onto this without you know paying a lot more for it. it all comes in in one little device it keeps the size nice and small and very neat that’s how i like it and also FIMI palm one was the first one to actually have this sort of built-in joystick which i really enjoyed although that plastic actually came off however it seems like they’ve actually really improved the design the bigger joystick so it’s probably easier on the thumb to control.
Since we are going to get the first batch of FIMI palm 2 in about a wee from now, I will update with more in hands experience. Stay with fotobargain with more infor of FIMI palm 2.
