DJI OSMO Review

[@gyroeventteam]

This was the best and most detailed description I've ever seen.

[@OttoGarciaRey]

I have The OSMO... and I can Say This Is THE BEST review so far I have Seen, You Guys took your time and really gave a very accurate portrait of the system..... Congrats!

[@2232302]

Yo Ben! It's Nathan from Torch. I have just recently bought one of these and have been training myself while finishing the prototype for filming of our newest helmet so I've watched a lot of videos, but this was by far the BEST video covering the Osmo. Well done, Sir!! I would love to get any tips or feedback as we begin shooting and in case I make it out your direction it would be great to meet up again and buy you a beer since the footage you provided us for the T2 was simply top notch. Out Filming are masters of their craft!

[@dandanthegadgetman]

One of the best OSMO reviews I have seen

[@JayCasmirri]

One of the best reviews I've ever watched for any piece of gear! Great job. It provided enough info all in one stop to make me comfortable in buying an Osmo.

[@jordanwicks2424]

Fantastic review, covered everything I needed to know and things I didn't even think of.

[@Dbtelli]

This is so nice. i'm buying one on monday and this video has been eye-opening for lots of dudes i had. Thank you so much for taking the time and doing this, guys.

[@jdtravelninja]

I feel like i'm asking the same questions as a lot of the comments below, but here they are: 1. Video quality seems great all-around, apart from slow-motion which you think is "unusable". Why is that? Is that something a firmware update can fix, or does that mean the osmo (with X3) will never be good with slow-motion? 2. Graded/Ungraded - is that an extra filter you purchased, or a post-production edit etc? 3. Sound - i've heard/read about the quality of the sound being quite poor due to the constant noise of the nearby fan. How did you record the audio in this clip though? (in particular the last 30 seconds while you're on your bike speaking into the camera) 4. Would the osmo stand up by itself (in a stable position) if it were used for static shooting? 5. I'm an amateur at video recording but have been doing some calisthenics/travel vlogs with my Sony RX100M3, and am now pondering whether to buy a GoPro 4, a GoPro sessions or the OSMO. I definitely prefer the OSMO, but don't know if i'll be able to do with it everything I can do with a gopro (mount it to a bike etc). If you have any advice, let me know. Thanks in advance for the feedback - great video, fantastic review!

[@adityadatar5431]

The most detailed review on youtube.

[@GaryStockton]

Nice review, probably the best and most thorough I've seen. I like my OSMO.

[@GaryStockton]

Interesting *****

[@OppedCinematicsMC]

Hello, My name's Charlie, I'm 13 years old, & I'm an aspiring filmmaker. I'm really into cinematography and getting creative with my videos. Should I save up the money to buy an Osmo? Is it worth it? I'm currently using my Nikon d5200, but I'm not sure if I should invest in stabilization or a whole new camera.

[@CinemaStyleVideo]

I would keep your camera, the osmo is amazing but cannot replace a DSLR. They work together beautifully. Glad to see young kids shooting video. Keep it up!

[@dumpertboy1322]

Lol

[@CinemaStyleVideo]

I will check it out.

[@LivInAwe]

I want to complement you on the rigor of your testing. I've decided to make the purchase, but now I understand the drawbacks. I want it for simple b-roll steady shots that you just can't get on a tripod. I have a gimbal for my camera...well...not real happy with that purchase. After looking at your video I believe this would be a key weapon in my arsenal. Thank you for making this video.

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

This is the best OSMO I've watched so far. I'm subscribing to your channel now. Looking forward to finding your next OSMO review with some of the updates they've made. Thanks. p.s. Where do you live where you can surf one day and ride a snowboard on another? (Lovely places to test cameras.)

[@Wizardboz]

This review is so much better than the others!

[@JoeVanWyk]

Now there is an Osmo+ available and I have it on order. I didn't like how the original Osmo wouldn't focus as close as your face in selfie mode. Now that is fixed. The zoom will be nice too. Do you plan on testing the + out? Thanks very much for your review!

[@lavegas]

Great info. What mic did you use in the beginning of your video while walking with the bike?

[@jaywbus]

awesome review! thank you. have you tried the Z-Axis for hard shaky action shots (ie. your indoor snowboarding shot)?

[@ThermaFrance]

Hello, Thank you very much for your nice video. How did you solve the fan noise issue ???

[@PHOTOZULU1]

Auto iso changing when you are recording is weird. Never heard about that. Great review !!!

[@StephenCousins]

Yup, best osmo review I've seen. Well done guys. I make running films and my current set up is too heavy so I'm getting one and we'll see how it copes!

[@SinuVideoToru]

Probably the best review around. So well done guys. 5*

[@acalmrush]

Best review by far. Super informative and has really convinced me to get one. I can't wait to try it out myself. How have you been using the app with the device outside if you need wifi? can you use it using 4G? cellular data?

[@IstoryangPagibig]

best osmo review I've see so far

[@JorgeDourado]

Great tips and review. Some of the more common issues people are talking is the 4K heating problem, have you seen this!? This makes me think is not ready for profesional use, next firmware can make a change. Thanks, cheers.

[@groundbreakerexplore]

Great DJI Osmo. Video capture is excellent. Even I have problem with no audio and video not showing in my mobile phone as long as I am getting magnificent video output. I am okay with it.

[@Djactivated23]

Was all the footage shown shot in 4k?

[@davinjacobs]

so you need wifi to run the camera?

[@marcelobaus]

What are you using as a mic at the end of the video?

[@GregLumleyPhotography]

Thanks so much for putting in the time and sharing! I have one on the way and after seeing your video I'm now even more excited.

[@ChristopherDobey]

Great review. Adorama is now renting them out so looks like I'll pick one up next weekend. Soothing voice by the way!

[@Feintgames]

The main thing I don't like is timelapse mode. The phone doesn't correctly compute shutter speed, which is livable, but the final video is 720p which is not livable.

[@andytang9126]

nice and a complete review! Good Job! And what microphone you used? Can you let us know?

[@Bigboytravel]

what gimbal would you recommend with the Sony a6300? looking at the Pilotfly H2 but it is a little pricey

[@Gilpa]

What mic are You using in the beginning of you video?

[@dickyfizwell900]

+CVPTV what settings did you export with from post production to make it look clearer for playback?

[@OrwinSantaCruz]

Great review! I think your review is the one that finally sold me on it. Thanks for being so thorough!

[@Metaldetectiontubeworldwide]

I had a tip from some one here on you tube ... You have to disable the screen rotation on your phone before starting up the app ...and no more glitches 😉😊...i struggled 4 months with that bug....

[@olliesnell]

was this in Bournemouth?

[@BLX187]

as an osmo owner. this is a very good review.

[@Oranius]

at the end of the video, what microphone are you using?

[@formattester6]

great review. i had an opportunity recently to play with one at a local store and have to say overall i was impressed. my biggest gripe is the IQ. its ok but not stellar...still for the money i think its fair i just wish it was more stunning. i won't buy one just yet but will wait for this area to mature and be happy with my go pro black and small 3 axis gimbal.

[@gradyvasil8423]

Just curious, is there any noticeable difference between the white Inspire camera and the black one that comes with the OSMO? I've been thinking of getting an Inspire and saw on the site that you can get just the OSMO handle kit. Does the Inspire camera preform as well without the OSMO camera locking mechanism, or have they improved the Firmwear enough to where its indistinguishable?

[@Nexxarian]

Is there any way to mount this onto something like a bicycle or inside a car? Are there any mount accessories for the Osmo made by DJI or do you need to find another one?

[@WizardBlobMovies1234]

yes there is

[@7sonero7]

Is the X3 from inspire1 now compatible ?

[@AdriaCavanaugh]

Great review. Saving up for this! Can't wait to get my hands on it!

[@11yyomskyy11]

@CVPTV How is the audio on this? Do I need to get an external mic?

[@digitalmarketing7868]

how was the sound recorded

[@DmytroKorochkin]

Thanks, really good review. Could you provide more details why slow-mo is not useful?

[@varadlad4175]

I'm very confused . I've budget of 400$ and i want to step up on my filmmaking. Should i go for the dslr? or the dji osmo or the dji osmo pocket I'm thinking of dji because it is providing gimbal and also 4k quality ! Please help me here with details

[@brontidecollective9389]

What ND filters did they use?

[@HarryNeelam]

Thank you VERY much for an awesome review! I've had the Osmo for a while and been playing with it...but I learnt so much more from your video than I have from a bunch of others...the most thorough review so far. Much appreciated guys.

[@georgemarounjr5048]

what mic were u using

[@monabhullar9696]

love the Cosmo however i find the colours slightly dull on this and hard to tweak after I've filmed

[@keymansixman958]

excellent review mate

[@ed9809]

Getting mine Wednesday, awesome review!

[@billimono4480]

How do you grade your raw footage ?

[@blacksap]

this is what I call a review! awesome work! might get the damn toy myself

[@kamilwitaszewski]

Where is that snowboard track?

[@peterc11364]

very well organized tech review. great job and the best. you guys are setting the standard for reviewing products.

[@TariqDawn]

what is Graded ? its like option to choose or editing the videos using other software to have the effect ?

[@neutraldensityfilms9451]

It's common practice in film to "color grade" footage. this is to maximize the data in digital footage to make it look as close to the quality of film as possible, and or for stylistic and artistic reasons as well. look up color grading for more info.

[@Shyamgfilms]

How is the sensor of OSMO compared to an iPhone 7 or 8?

[@noiztrauma]

Wait, why is the slomo disappointing? shouldn't 120p@1080p be very decent? probably would go for the cheaper gopto 4 black, but i hate the bending on the sides and the osmo doesn't have that while offering similar quality. but good fullhd slomo is a must.

[@richthedroneguy8943]

I was excited about the osmo until I realized it basically has no audio. Even a gopro will outperform it when doing selfie or instructional type videos. Looks great if you just want to do scenery or action shots with dubbed in music.

[@sisterna2298]

x3 or x5 or x5r?

[@johnniej544]

Wow the best review ive seen

[@eltonlui5349]

Great Review of the Osmo. Thank you

[@Marionvijar]

Informative video. We just got an Osmo and love it!

[@jessrocked]

is it true that the osmo autoconverts 120fps FHD to 30fps FHD?? which means theres no raw file of 120fps??

[@lucaMMXI]

At 3:54 he says that the video shutter speed goes from "30s all the way to 1/8000th of a second". In actuality, it can only go as slow as 1/25th of a second (NOT 30s). The Osmo cannot even go to one second shutter speed.

[@TavisolaMBARealtor]

very comprehensive, excellent review! Thank you so much!

[@manishprjapati8022]

dji osmo price

[@user-cw6yx9vd7f]

I'm really confused which one should I buy between DJI OSMO and Yuneec typhoon steadygrip. Can someone help me ? Which one better ?

[@matto9734]

very good review - thank you guys

[@briangardner1641]

Really good review , thank you

[@NickHope]

Excellent review!

[@MrRespectandpeace]

You said the mic catches the fan noise, but when you were speaking while riding your bicycle it was crisp clean sound ? Where you using a mic ? And what sort of ?

[@kingskafa]

Very comprehensive review! Thanks!!

[@RezaMolavi]

thank you for an excellent review; now you are costing me money as i will be getting one as well.

[@LivInAwe]

Funny, you talk about the viability of using a smart phone as a view finder. It was the last question I asked while talking with my group of professionals. I do have a question. What happens if you hold the...wait...you just held the camera upside down. Question answered. I don't know if I'm more impressed with the camera or the forethought you have to answer all the questions I have.

[@skellam8010]

Great review. Nice job gents. Thank you!

[@kjones3212]

I def need a stabilizer. Can you attach a mic to this thing?

[@StefanoMascolo]

+Keron Jones Yes, you can buy a RODE mic from the DJI's website.

[@kjones3212]

+Stefano Mascolo thanks man.

[@HarryNeelam]

it has a standard mic jack so you can plug in almost any mic into it. They also sell accessories with a cold shoe that will allow you to easily attch mikes, lights etc.

[@kjones3212]

+Harry Neelam hey man I bought it Friday and I love it. It came with the DJI flexi mic. Shot some footage over the weekend on a little road trip and haven't edited anything. This thing is definitely cool. The only thing is I already found its limitations. Now I gotta work on getting the zenmuse x5. The micro 4/3 feature is something I'm interested in.

[@AlexArrigoni71]

Great review! Thank you

[@Fmily]

Has anyone else noticed that the OSMO loses about a second of footage when it makes a new file on the sd card? I find this very annoying when I'm recording and it makes the OSMO almost useless for me.

[@tamisandoval]

Hi! this camera dosent work without wifi? what do you do if your traveling ?

[@Rasmushed]

Wi-fi is a way to transfer data like bluetooth, it's not the same thing as a router at home that supplies you with internet. The Osmo sends out a Wi-fi signal for your phone to pick up so it can mirror the image and control the Osmo without wires. The wifi can be used where ever you go.

[@Nexxarian]

So is there any optional wires that would hook into your phone? As said in the video, the wifi connection makes your phone battery take a beating, which I find problematic. Personally my iPhone 6S' battery seems to run down very fast, and if this thing is using the Osmo's wifi and the having to have the phone constantly on, then my phone will run out pretty fast.

[@captinktm]

Great review.

[@thomaspearson9794]

Awesome review! Thanks

[@leelong6933]

where did you get the filter

[@kamilwitaszewski]

+Lee Long The some question! ;)

[@Sedona_FD3S]

does it work with the x5r

[@Blackleopardex]

Yes, if you don't have the x5r already you can actually purchase the Osmo handle with a x5r attached.

[@stvnbln1964]

Very nice review

[@aniketdigar8634]

excellent review👌

[@FreedomFlight]

I love osmo)))good review!

[@moeranyc]

What the heck is that at 8:57?

[@AntonovP]

Lot of moire. Have you tried anti-aliasing filter in post production?

[@mirecek0210]

This is brilliant guys, thank you! :)

[@kellygunner1]

it records to the phone?? !! not a fan of that idea

[@DjayRude]

It has a removable SD card inside the Osmo but I think what hes saying is that you can also view your footage through the app. I dont have an Osmo myself but it seems thats how it operates

[@kellygunner1]

Thanks. That's way better

[@tomholm5000]

Geat and useful info.... :)

[@amanphotography6675]

nice few video

[@michaelcritchlow4373]

great review , I just got one , thanks and yes the mic sucks :(

[@fletcherluhur3457]

Very informative!

[@sisterna2298]

You look like the dude from epicmealtime. not an insult either.
