The DJI Osmo has solidified its reputation with its stellar image stabilization and easy to use design. Despite being a useful tool for vloggers, it’s hefty price tag has kept it out of reach for most casual users that want to take advantage of the Osmo’s gimbal. To rectify this, DJI introduces the Osmo Mobile, a system that utilizes the camera on your smartphone and comes at a more affordable price point.
The Osmo Mobile still comes with DJI’s easy to use 3-axis gimbal system and controls, but instead of an additional camera attached to the rig, it uses the camera that you already use every day; your smartphone. ActiveTrack technology built into the DJI GO app allows your Osmo Mobile to keep your smartphone facing you as you move. It’s also capable of making motion timelaps videos and you can live-steam to a variety of social media channels as well. The Osmo Mobile performs well even in low light, with powerful camera stabilization and full manual camera control. So if you’ve been envious of Osmo users but have been scared away by its price, the Osmo Mobile may be the perfect solution to bridge the gap.
