vivo Pocket Exclusive Vlog Camera Rumors Reveal Large Sony LYT 901 Sensor And Stabilized Gimbal Design To Rival DJI And Insta360 Offerings For Prosumers
Based on rumors regarding leaked technical specs vivo looks to enter the portable imaging segment with an exclusivevlog camera (unofficially named vivo Pocket) designed to compete with the current offerings from Insta360 and DJI, as noted by insider Digital Chat Station. The device will try to fit in a niche by blending top tier mobile phone cameras with stabilized dedicated action cameras gimbals.
The camera is reportedly said to use the 200 megapixe Sony LYT 901 as the core imaging sensor. The 1/1.1 inch form factor provides for much larger photosites to absorb light than any compact device could offer.
Vivo is going to attempt to leverage its existing smartphone flagship imaging algorithms software in order to create such an exclusive vlog camera, while a powerful unspecified chipset will handle both 4k/8k capture and the inherent need for a stabilized gyroscopic gimbal element to combat the shakiness of handheld filming.
Availability has become delayed however as after an internal study, vivo pushed its planned Q3 release up towards the end of Q4 after observing some key rival releases, as they do not seem to be ready with their dedicated pocketable camera until then.
While pricing has yet to be mentioned it is easy to infer this will be a top tier camera that comes packed with the 1/1.1inch LYT 901 sensor to try and steal the attention of prosumer photography enthusiasts and content creators, in a portable package emphasizing speed of deployment and easy content capture.
