Osmo 4k
 

There is a new 4K camera being promoted to be available in November, the OSMO 4K stabiliser combo. From what I have seen on the net this appears to be a pretty good setup.
Has anyone had their hands on one yet ?

I would like to know if it can be externally powered via Micro USB or something similar.

I doubt it, DJI seem to be big fans of selling heavily marked up extra batteries

Hi,

Any one has landed their own hands on this Osmo, any views on how is the feel.

I am just looking at the standard 7 videos on the net,

would be helpful

Guess DJI wants to be sure OSMO is known, in last few days they have updated many things on the site

Their "unboxing - part 1" video is hilarious, "remove the tape over the lid and flip over the cover" is said as instruction to open the box containing the Osmo.

There's a 4K four thirds model as well but somewhat pricey though once they advertise it as splash resistant I'll get one.

My Osmo arriving tomorrow.
At least I now know how to unbox it...:-)

Where did you buy it? I have been waiting on pre-order from B&H.

Mine should be here this afternoon. Excited!

Re: Osmo 4k
 

Well I've got mine. Initial thoughts:

- Build quality is very good
- Stabilisation is very good (as you'd expect) although you do get shakes if you move it up and down quickly.
- Image quality is the main downside - but I only bought this with the intention of buying the X5 camera. I don't think it's "professional" image quality, especially with the issues with moire and aliasing.
- Low light performance is terrible. It's a small sensor, no way around that.
- Having no aperture control makes things difficult in bright conditions (ND filters are a must). It takes the same filters as the Inspire 1.
- Battery life isn't great (45-60 mins). But the batteries are fairly affordable and charge quickly (1 hour).

So, lots of downsides in my opinion. It's 1/3 of the price of the Ronin-M, so some sacrifice is understandable. But paired with the X5 micro 4/3 camera, I think this will be a winner.

As Jody says, stabilisation is indeed very good.
This was a quick out-of-the- box test this morning. Hadn't gone into the menu to check shutter speed etc, so just shot at 4K 25p and rendered out in Sony Vegas to 1080 25p.
I need to set the camera up properly next time...

That's the advantage of selling gimbal and camera combined, they can finetune the balancing settings in the factory so you don't have to deal with that anymore, that's the major shortcoming of all small 3 axis gimbals because they all require finetuning to get the shake or jitters out.
