Design and appearance

DJI Osmo (1)

The handheld camera has a smart and sleek design with a fine pistol grip. You will need to put your smartphone in its phone holder to monitor your footage. It also allows you to change its internal settings with the use of your smartphone.

Osmo has some basic operational buttons right at its grip. You can use its record button, as well as a toggle switch and joystick. While the toggle switch lets you change the operating mode of gimbal, the joystick can offer manual control for gimbal. Osmo is designed with such amazing technology that keeps it flat regardless of the way you move it. Thus, the camera gives you good freedom to explore your subjects and environments of shoot.

Performance

Osmo is a 4K camera that comes with an integrated Zenmuse 3-axis gimbal stabilizer. If you want to shoot stabilized 4K or 120fps HD videos, then it can be a powerful option. In fact, you get a highly streamlined shooting experience, as it has effectively integrated its stabilization hardware with the camera. While this camera can itself give tough competition to other similar devices, it becomes even more impressive when paired with a professional camera for film shooting purposes.

With Osmo, you will never capture blurred motion. Even if you are taking shots with long exposure, you will receive good sharpness. Further, it is also effective to control the tripod-mounted camera from a distance. This can be done quickly with the help of the remote control option in the DJI GO app on your phone. Apart from this, the camera gives you good battery life that can be extended with the help of its automatic sleep mode.
