The DJI Osmo Mobile: A Revolutionary Gimbal for Smooth Video Capture

As we take a quick look at the DJI Osmo mobile, it's clear that this is the second generation device from one of the leading companies in the field of photography and videography. One of the main changes that DJI has made to this device is swapping metal for ABS plastic. Despite this change, the device still feels plenty sturdy enough, making it a great option for those looking for a portable gimbal.

The main job of a gimbal is to smooth out the normal jerky up and down movements you'll get while walking, allowing you to capture high-quality video with minimal effort. The DJI Osmo mobile does just that, producing a very smooth flowing video that can still be seen as some gentle up-and-down movements. This is evident when we take away the horizontal reference lines in one of the clips, and what we're left with is just how smooth it is. Even when the camera is held out sideways, the gimbal makes sure to maintain a steady level, eliminating any noticeable up-and-down bobbing.

One of the most challenging tasks for handheld videographers is capturing smooth panning motions while walking or turning corners. The DJI Osmo mobile, however, makes this task much easier, smoothing out the normal up-and-down movement that would be difficult to capture without the gimbal. This feature alone makes a huge difference in the overall quality of your videos.

Another challenging aspect of handheld videography is capturing a consistent speed as you tilt upwards. The DJI Osmo mobile once again proves itself to be a valuable tool, smoothing out this motion and allowing for more professional-looking footage. But what really sets this device apart from others is its ability to create moving time-lapse videos.

Time lapse photography has always been fun, but the addition of movement makes it even more interesting. In one of the clips shown in the video, we can see just how impressive the DJI Osmo mobile's moving time-lapse capabilities are. The camera moves smoothly and fluidly, capturing every detail of its surroundings as it pans from left to right and then upwards.

One of the best features of this device is its ability to program multiple points for your time-lapse video. This allows you to create a more complex and interesting motion, which would be difficult or impossible to capture without the help of a gimbal. The result is a beautifully shot time-lapse video that showcases the capabilities of the DJI Osmo mobile.

Overall, the DJI Osmo mobile is an excellent choice for anyone looking to capture high-quality video with minimal effort. Its ability to smooth out jerky movements, pan smoothly, and create moving time-lapses make it a valuable tool for any videographer or photographer. With its compact size and lightweight design, it's also very portable, making it easy to take on the go.
