A refined, highly capable camera that is the best all-in-one for vloggers, with better battery life and no overheating.

A major upgrade in image quality, convenience and battery, earning an unequivocal recommendation with only minor gripes such as no gimbal lock and no IP rating.
Read Expert Reviews review - 93Engadget
Still the best pocket vlogging camera, with excellent image quality, low-light gains, onboard storage and handy new controls; no optical zoom and no US sales are the main gripes.

A polished successor to the Pocket 3 with stellar stabilisation, better battery and image quality, and excellent value, though the core feature set is similar and it is a touch bigger.

A fantastic follow-up and the perfect all-in-one creator tool with excellent stabilised video, though stills and zoom are only fair.
Read Trusted Reviews review - 80The Verge
An evolutionary but top-to-bottom upgrade that is the best Osmo Pocket yet, though not available in the US and real battery life is far below the claim.
Read The Verge review - 89est.SlashGear
Mostly under-the-hood upgrades, chiefly the 1-inch sensor, make this the creator camera to beat, though the case downgrade and lack of US availability dampen things; testing time was short.

Much more than a minor update: better dynamic range, 10-bit D-Log, improved tracking, audio and storage make it a more professional tool that can match other cameras.
