Drone maker DJI has just released another product to join their technologically advanced creations.
DJI Osmo is a handheld camera that allows users to shoot crisp videos while moving without the blur. The camera stays focused even when the person holding it makes a lot of movement, making room for more creativity when taking photos.
The Osmo even takes panoramic shots on its own through its Automatic Panorama mode. With a push of a button, it does a 360 degrees shot of the surroundings while staying steady all the way. Osmo is also found to be useful when shooting time-lapse.
Such are made possible by Osmo's three-axis stabilizer that allows users to move however they want while taking photos or videos. The camera may also be easily controlled by one hand, with all the important controls just within a thumb's reach. It even allows the use of smartphone to monitor the shots by simply putting the smartphone in the phone holder that comes with the Osmo. It also enables the user to manipulate the device's movement using a smartphone as remote control.
The Osmo comes with different mounts designed for different types of shooting requirements. One option is to mount it on a bike to take tracking shots or place it on the extension rod so that the camera may be used in taking images at different angles.
The Osmo also sports its own built-in audio recorder as well as a 3.5-millimeter port for external recording devices.
The DJI Osmo's handle weighs 201 grams and uses a 221-gram Zenmuse X3 camera that takes 4K HD videos at a maximum of 60p at 60 Mbps. It has a JPEG and DNG format for photos, while it produces videos in MP4/MOV formats. The maximum capacity for its memory is at 64 GB and it runs on a 980 mAh battery.
The DJI Osmo is priced at $649, with its various accessories available from $25 to $75.
