So this is a new test with my OSMO+ and DJI extension rod working in Low mode with my Shar Pei’s Indiana Bones and J.K. Growling.
I did a quick, though insufficient color correction in Premiere Pro 2017 Lumetri, though I have not gotten the image flat enough as of yet. It was on auto exposure and UHD settings.
So this is a stringout of more footage of my first tests with the DJI OSMO+ with Z-AXIS. I did a simple color correct, and the music is Tiny Parham and his Musicians “Washboard Wiggles” from PublicDoman4u.
I need to practice more for sure as you can still see my steps quite a bit. And I am thinking ND filters would be a good bet, as the exposure certainly goes from peaked to crushed across the board. Need to play some more.
Some of my first test footage with my DJI OSMO+ with Z-Axis shot at the Suiho En Japanese Garden of Water and Fragrance in Van Nuys. This is unprocessed other than being recompressed for 4K YouTube. I still need to get better at the Z-Axis to stabilize my walking better. And it could certainly use a color correct. Still I am pretty impressed.
I have been looking at 3rd party accessories for a DJI Osmo of late and came across this, the Kamerar Baton Extender.
This $100 device basically extends the reach of the OSMO by 22″ with electronic extension controls and a second handle for control (and so you don’t break the mount on your Osmo handle).
It looks very interesting, especially becoming more like a jib.
Mr Cheesy Cam has an interesting video review.
DJI has released an updated version of it’s 3 axis stabilized camera, the DJI Osmo+. The new version includes a 22-77mm zoom lens, 3.5x optical and for 1080 video an additional 2x lossless digil zoom. It has a 50cm minimum focus distance, and support for motion timelapse! And it is $649.
The original Osmo for $569, includes a free spare battery, a $35 value, but the new camera should be worth the difference.
Damn I want one!
So I have been really looking into the $650 DJI OSMO and really want one, and would love to try it on my 2 axis Glidecam Smooth Shooter for really stable shots.
The first review I watched was from Everyday Reviews on YouTube. It is a very positive review overall.
The next review I checked out is a bit less positive from Chelsea & Tony. They had more issues, especially with it working right away, but overall they will still use it and it still makes me want one.
I still so want one. I wish I had one to review, as the short I have been working on for ages could really use it, and it has a lot of low light so I would like to test it’s low light capabilities.
I saw this at DIY Photography, after getting really interested in an OSMO just 2 days ago. And have been watching a lot of reviews and everyone complained about the audio, so this sounds to be very good news.
It will be free with all OSMOS as of now, but you can also get one for your already purchased one starting in March. Very cool.
Looking forward to how well it does with getting rid of the servo noise!
I so want one of these!
The newly announced DJI Osmo stabilized action cam for $649 really blows my mind! It is basically a 4K GoPro with full image stabilization and some cool still features as well. And it can also be used with the $2100 X5 which can use 3 interchangeable lenses, but really I think this is more to get individual shots that raise the production value enough that you don’t mind that it is basically a GoPro because the shots are so cool.
I would love to get my hands on one of these! It would be amazing!
