Spring is here, the days are stretching out, and it’s time to shake off the winter cobwebs. Beach run, road trip, camping, outback escape, or just long-overdue days outside – wherever you’re headed, there’ll be plenty of memorable moments worth bringing home. Words Scott Hocking GETTING OUT & ABOUT CAMERA WITH THE RIGHT

W hen you’re out and about and capturing moments, here’s no single camera that’s ‘right’ for the job. You might want silky-smooth travel video, a 360-degree view of the action, dedicated digital camera photos, or a tiny keychain camera that makes snapshots fun again. From polished travel photos and videos to gloriously retro-style snaps, pick your camera and start shooting.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Vlog Combo Tell the story: Polished travel videos from a camera that fits in your hand. Action Camera Capture the action: Record everything around you, then choose the shot later.

THE TRAVEL STORYTELLER THE CAMERA

Some trips deserve better than a highlights reel of shaky clips. The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Vlog Combo puts a serious video toolkit into a hand

sized camera, so getting smoother, sharper footage doesn’t mean carrying a camera kit. An enhanced 1-inch CMOS wide camera handles big views, while a 60mm med-tele camera gets you closer for portraits and details. The wide camera offers up to 17 stops of dynamic range in D-Log 2 – handy when bright sunshine and deep shade share the same scene. That dual-camera approach is useful on the move: you can establish where you are, then cut closer to the subjects

and small details that make the location memorable without physically getting in everyone’s face. The star turn is 3-axis mechanical stabilisation, which smooths walking and panning, backed by ActiveTrack 8.0 to help keep moving subjects framed. Add 4K slow motion up to 240fps, 37MP stills, 103GB of built-in storage and up to 210 minutes of rated runtime, and it’s ready for a full day of shooting rather than a few hero clips before the battery or storage calls time.

CAPTURE THE MOMENT Stroll on the beach or weave through a busy laneway and the gimbal helps iron out your footsteps. Go wide for the lookout, jump to 60mm for a portrait or detail, then slow down a jetty jump, skateboard trick, or splash into the surf at up to 4K/240fps.

WHERE WILL YOU TAKE IT? City breaks, coastal weekends, markets, festivals, family days, and road trips – anywhere that’s part of your story. It hits a sweet spot when a phone feels too casual and a digital camera plus extra gear feels like too much baggage.

WHO’S IT FOR? Travellers, vloggers, and family memory-makers who want footage that looks properly considered without carrying a full camera rig. Less extreme-action hero, more pocket-sized travel director.
