I tend to take this little camera wherever I go, even when I've got all of my mirrorless camera gear with me.
It's unobtrusive, fits in a pocket (hence the name) and takes pretty decent footage. The best thing is that it's ready to use in a couple of seconds from pushing the power button. The various gimbal modes are useful and the included accessories in the creator kit make it a very useful setup for video and vlogging (although I don't use it for the latter).
I would recommend getting some form of handle which can provide charge and hold both the camera and a phone. Whilst this makes the setup a bit more bulky, the ability to see the image on a larger screen is a real bonus, especially bright light.
The app works well - in fact better than some of the apps for my way more expensive cameras. You can change all of the camera settings from the app a lot easier than trying to use the fiddly touch screen. The camera touch screen is not really made for my size fingers.
When shooting in 4k the camera can get quite warm to the point of hot, but I've never had it shut down on me yet.
I have added a couple of Freewell mist filters that compensate for the slight over sharpening that you find on most DJI products, including their drones. Why they don't allow you to adjust the sharpening is beyond me, particularly when there is a D-cinelike profile for colour grading.
Low light performance isn't the best with quite a bit of noise but what can you expect given the sensor size but it's still passable for YouTube content.
Battery life is fair and, as mentioned above, a charger handle means the camera can be used for hours.
What else? It's not waterproof so don't expect this to replace an action camera. The face track functionality is very handy and works well and the included wireless mic in the creator combo is very useful and has decent sound quality if not the best range. The in camera sound is also very acceptable.
One of the best things is that it doesn't look like a camera so you can use it in situations where a larger camera or phone may be obtrusive.
