The creator combo is the way to go. Having wireless audio integrated is huge rather than a second audio/mic source. It also comes with the joystick, tripod attachment, 4k shooting, better low light quality, digital zoom, wider standard lens, integrated wireless phone connection and overall a more refined video camera. The case has a compartment for the included wide angle lens and tripod making it an easy all in 1 package. It's the perfect vlogging camera and most powerful video camera combo for its size. The best part of these pocket cameras is that they boot up within seconds and are so small that they don't attract much attention unlike bigger phone gimbals.

Got mine last week and I love it, did a 15 minute test video walking through my house and it was easy and great to use. I bought the Mini Control Stick for it and that thing is a necessity, makes it so easy to tilt up and down and go left to right when walking. For walking through the house my audio sounded fine and I have a lapel mic I bought years ago so probably just going to get the OSMO Pocket 3.5mm adapter to use with that just in case. I think this is the right price for something like this, maybe when the 3 comes out and the price for the 2 drops I will get that then. I found the dynamic range to be pretty impressive for something this small, the only thing I would really like is a wider FOV sometimes. I also ordered one of those cases that has an opening that is bigger for the attachments so I can keep my Mini Control Stick on all the time, hope it works.

bought the osmo too, but I can't find this control stick, would you recommend me it?

They seem to be hard to get, below is the link where I got mine, I was thinking about it and there were only 8 for sale and by the time I went to buy them they were down to 4 and now they are sold out. You will probably have to just order it from the DJI store. I also linked the case I ordered down below, it should be here tomorrow so I will know then if it works and how good it is.
*Got the case today and it's awesome, I can now keep the mini control stick attached all the time, it even has a nice rubber elastic type lanyard.
What's the shooting time with a full charged battery and is battery replaceable?
Edit: probably answering my own question, 140 min shooting 1080 and battery most likely not replaceable but could connect to external power bank for continue shooting. Charging time 5v 2A 74 minutes.

Edit: Didn't notice they answered their own question.
Here's my post from a previous posted deal.
Here's what I like and hate about mine
Good
4k 60 fps 100 Mbps video
Motion time lapse (I can preset start and end points for the gimbal to record a time lapse. I just have to pop it down on a stable surface or I use a 3rd party clamp or tripod to have it record off a tree or on a fence). I can go horizontal, corner to corner, or vertical.
Compact, lightweight, and comes with a case
Great battery life
Can run off a power pack - USB C
Comes with lightning and USB-C adapter for direct phone/device transfer (note 4K is converted down to 1080p through the app but work around is to connect to a laptop as USB storage or pop out the SD card and pull the 4K files that way.
Easy 3 x 3 panorama
Bad
No zoom (Pocket 2 has it but I don't think it's worth the extra cost)
4K files get converted down to 1080p through direct adapter transfer (but you can just take the SD card out and get your files that way)
Not water or weatherproof. There are cases out there but they add too much bulk (if you need these features, get a GoPro)
Case
Night footage - not great but pretty good compared to budget level phones that can't use gcam.
Audio - Not that great and you have to buy an adapter to use external mics
If you want easy 4K video, don't care about zoom, and want to start recording now, go for it.
The Pocket 2 improves on a lot of negatives but I would see what the next Pocket 3 comes with and get the Pocket 2 on sale or go all in with the 3.
End quote.
I actually used mine today to record some slow motion and time lapses. It's super convenient to record and I have an iPad Pro so I can just hook it up directly via the usb c adapter and then upload it from there.
If I was on the go, I'd swap out the adapter with the lightning adapter that comes with it and upload via iPhone that way.

Keep in mind the pocket 2 comes with a joystick. The controller wheel is like a $40 option for the pocket 1. I am tempted to get a pocket 2 starter kit (with memory card & carrying case) on amazon for $329.

I shot about 15 minutes of 4K 30 video yesterday and used about 20% battery.

The mini control stick that comes with the pocket 2, does it also work with the pocket 1?
As far as I know, the controller wheel is what works with the pocket 1: https://www.amazon.com/DJI-Osmo-P...07KZG7D1H/

Almost went for it but saw the review comparing the 1 and the 2:
