Still a great device in 2022 ,have the new osmo pocket two but just love using the old osmo as it feels so much better to use although the pocket two does produce better video as to be expected .Was mentioned on video about the photo quality ,this device is mainly built for video not photos ,i would not use this device o take photos. With a bit of colour grading in resolve studio 17 get some amazing results with the old osmo. Considering it only has a small sensor it still takes fairly good video indoors. All said and done a great review and well explained
Perfect video and perfect camera. I live in Azerbaijan. I found this Dji Camera, I want to buy it, but I was wondering if it is possible to connect it to a monitor with any cable without a phone?
Good review. One that also talks about the negative sides! I like this camera and would really like it to work! But you forgot:You will have to use an expensive U3 card for 4K or even 2.7K otherwises video and audio are not synchronized! Second it generates 4GB files and between each file there is a gap of 1.30 sec. This is a no go! Third as you mentioned gimbal movement - I had a conversation with dji and they did not believe it at the beginning so I sent them footage. Then a month ago they came with a firmware upgrade that did not solve the problem. Problem no tripod mode in gimbal settings. 4th problem low bitrates for 4K and especially full HD (just 15Mbs!!!) And then as you mentioned inconsistency with good footage. 70% of the footage is not crisp or out of focus. And last not least bad lowlightor semi low light footage. If it is not completely bright your footage is out of focus or as you stated not crisp.
I had so many bad points on this product I didn't include the ones you mention. Yes, the footage loss between the video files is bad, I think all DJI drones do this too. The audio sync problem occurred on all cards I used, however I found it to be an encoding fault and using Premier Pro CC 2017 fixed this. What I didn't say in the video is this was my 2nd unit as the first was riddled with faults and so I sent it back, the 2nd was better but still overall no good for pro video or photo work.
Thank you for the video. This is the first I have found that addresses issues around how I would use the Osmo. Now I have to seriously rethink purchasing it.
Thank you, I thought I'd try it out once again after using the new mobile one and I just can't seem to get the right exposure or light or colour grading in camera when recording. I thought it was something I was doing wrong but your review suggests otherwise. Shame, a bit disappointing.
Good review ... was about to order one but will wait until DJI update /improve the osmo ! I can see why the secondhand market is flooded with them as they look great on paper Nice one John
Hi John. Thank you for your expanded and very good review. I did some pictures on my Osmo plus too and have to say that I didn't experience any clearenes and sharpness problems. Are you sure that you removed the protection transparent sticker form the camera lens? Not trolling, just seriously asking... :(
That's fine, it's always ok to ask silly questions. As I said in the video this isn't the first product, i returned the earlier one. I have also since had a 3rd, which was slightly better ad I made an updated review about it and the accessories you can get for it.
I experienced the same wacky app disconnects between a samsung S7 and an ipad mini. I had to do a reset on osmo to fix it. This resets the osmo wifi back to default. All was good after that.
I honestly didn't get to see that, one things I did see was the longer videos were split into files and there was at least 2 seconds missing between the files, meaning in some important videos I lost content, like interviews or general video footage. I ended up sending 2 of these back in just a matter of days, the first due to the audio noise and the 2nd due to the fact this is just not a video recording device you can rely on - even if you wanted to record your kids on vacation!
I wanted it to record for my channel, how long did these videos record for until they were split? would you say save my money and buy the DJI mobile gimbal instead? Would that future proof me if I changed phones that's what am worried about.
The DJI Osmo Mobile is a really great device, however it's still heavily dependant on your smartphone. If you wanted to produce smooth video of cars, or car interior shots etc. then I'd say you need a really decent smartphone, but be warned the iPhone 7 won't work well with the DJI Osmo Mobile due to the iPhone 7 camera stabilisation. IF you truly want good 4k smooth video form a gimbal then get a good 4k camera and the Zhiyun Crane. It's what I now use and it's fantastic. IF you check out my recent videos you'll see some on which is the best 4k camera and also the Zhiyun Crane.
I think that will take me well out of my budget, currently am just filming using my Iphone6Plus are arms length so anything is a great improvement my channel only started a month ago and am seeing HUGE surge of Views and Subs so I think I should invest but I found DJI Osmo Plus for £525 and the DJI osmo mobile for £225, I am kinda of Video Vlog type of channel. Starting to wish I didn't start looking into gimbals its a mind field! Your channel is great by the way non biased reviews!
The Osmo+ cameras are meant to smooth out motion. Not lock down a static shot when sitting still. Hence the minor drift. As far as focus goes, if you tap the screen to focus the results are quite crisp. As for the washed out look, you can change to various scene settings. If I'm being lazy, I'll set it to vivid.
Hi, As I said in the video, the movement ruins timelapses and the osmo is meant to produce really good timelapses. As for the focus, as you can see from the video, I do tap where I want to focus but the camera just doesn't always focus perfectly.
I use the Osmo+ primarily for video capture however I understand your frustration with timelapse although I've had fairly good results. I've just read several reviews from users that tried to stick the Osmo on a tripod and statically record their kid's school play and complain about the drift. Wrong tool for the job. I'm in the video business in Canada and can remember when steadicam rigs cost $65k CDN (without the camera). The Osmo isn't perfect, however I am overall pleased with the results I get for under $1k.
Is there a way to wire connect the phone to the Osmo thereby bypassing the wifi? I do this with my Spark. The remote is to be connected to the phone via wifi but I use a cable and get a much better non lagging crisper image.
+Hummingbird.UAV There’s not, the only way to connect is via WiFi, Samsung phones seems to be worse at connecting that iPhones. Not tested with any other brands though, has anyone else?
+Javier Herrera All settings are out of the box, it seems there was a bad batch of devices, the dji forums are full of people showing their devices having serious problems. Sadly dji won't replace them.
Great review thanks; I’m just starting out with my Outdoorsman Dave brand here in New Zealand and find using my DSLR too shaky for recording my tramping adventures. Do you think the Osmo is small, light and robust enough to go tramping with or is there a better option? Budget is limited.
Great video! Please tell me, what camera did you use to shoot the opening close-ups of the Osmo? The image is very clean and sharp with great balance. Thanks!
Hi John - thanks for this very comprehensive video. What gear were you using to record your video? The picture is crisp and very presentable. Thanks, Frank
+Frank Kearney Thanks for your comments. The camera in this video is my trusty Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 - soon to be replaced too by the new FZ2000 (FZ2500 in the US)
John, Could you tell and show us a little bit more about the clarity and focus stability ??? Is it a problem that can be fix by the company with an kind of uprade or a nev version ??
Hi, I don't own this any longer, I found it to be so bad that I returned the camera. The clarity and focus was very sporadic, even though the camera had locked in the focus you could see the images were still blurry or soft.
Thank God I watched this... Totally not what I would've expected on a prosumer device! The only reason to buy this basically is to separate camera and viewfinder for very low/high shots... But with that camera you might as well go with a Ronin and use your own DSLR
Have you watched my more recent review? It’s a fresh look at the camera and accessories, it might change your mind. On its own the Osmo isn’t great, but used with some creativity & accessories it becomes a really good production tool.
+Gadget John So I looked at that video now and it does talk about all the accessories, but it doesn't talk about improvements in the camera. Is it still as bad as the current video suggests? From what I believe the accessories can't take away the drift in video over time or the sound problems or the white washing of pictures. Has there been any updates on that?
I regret buying this. I bought the Pocket version but now I realize I have no way to even attach my phone. So I have to buy all these accessories. Seems like they need to markup their product so it at least comes with the necessary goods so I am not shopping for a dozen other parts.
Great review and it confused me in my decision to buy it or not... I was on the "buy it" side after watching couple of reviews but after yours I don't want to risk it. I want something that works I don't want to get something then send it back etc. I wonder if the problems are the same using it with iPhone as it seems in general dji softwares are more optomized for ios. I really like the concept of the Osmo + and there is nothing similar on the market so it gives me some headache...
Hola cómo estás encontré este vídeo aunque iene muchos años quiero intentar preguntarte hace poco compré mi OSMO + funcionaba muy bien pero ....de repente presente problemas como:: 1 lo enciendo y no me aparece la red WiFi de el. 2 Al encenderlo No se activa la Cámara es decir no se encienden los motores de la cámara. En colombia donde vivo no eh encontrado con quién poder solucionar este problema supongo que tal vez puede ser algún tema de actualización pero no estoy seguro la verdad me interesa poder encontrar cómo arreglarlo SI ALGUIEN LE AH PASADO ESTO Y LOGRO SOLUCIONAR LES ESTARE MUY AGRADECIDO SI ME AYUDAN PARA QUE VUELVA A SERVIR MI OSMO +
well not for photos lol... and not using a Samsung phone... I hate them anyway lol... But I still think I'll get it for live streaming while out and about... real filming and other things are best done of other things
The Z axis extension does look really cool, but phone cameras are so good these days that I'd spend the money on a Z axis for your mobile phone gimbal instead.
Thank you for the reply. Sorry, I was not clear. I have several questions. Depending on the type of video camera you have you can either have cameras see a face in front and automatically focus on that. Other cameras you have to tap on the spot to focus. From the reviews I have seen the DJI Osmo+ required you to tap. Does it "see" a subject and automatically focus on it? Once focused on a person in frame, what happens if you walked towards the camera? Does the camera's focus track you? Finally, what happens if you are the target and walk out of frame? Will the camera automatically turn to keep you in frame?
The Osmo has interchangeable cameras, but the Osmo mobile has extra features like follow mode that the Osmo doesn’t have. But you can get extra software as I said in my other reply. It’s a handheld gimbal, not a dedicated video camera, so it doesn’t have the follow focus. But you can get extra apps that do this.
Yes, sorry you are right, most people only understand Hot Shoe though as that's what 99% of them are. So in order to let people understand I went with the most used term to get the point across.
FYI, it's not really a good comparison between Osmo mobile and Osmo plus camera. 1. you are using an S8 phone that has a good camera hence the quality is better than Osmo plus built in camera. SO I guess you should compare it with the first version of Osmo plus. (y)
This is the OSMO +, there is only one version. My comparison not like-for-like it's merely to give an idea of how much better a cheaper camera is! I compare a £700 camera (DJI OSMO +) to a £700 smartphone with built-in camera (Samsung S8+). IF a smartphone is better than a dedicated camera then that really says something.
well, there is an earlier version which is called DJI Osmo (non 4K version) which will make more sense to compare camera output quality. (y) other than that, I guess the rest is software based ;)
This is the OSMO + (plus) whereas the old version was just called OSMO and didn't have a Zoom but was full 4K. The original version also had a longer focal length making it no goo for close up shots or vlogging.
Hi Steve, my iPhone and Galaxy S8 both seem to work this out themselves in the back ground, so I can connect to the internet via 3G/4G and to the OSMO over wifi.
My Note 8 seem not working because when I connect to the Osmo and it required Osmo update then it fail because no Internet connection so I have to switch the wifi to home wifi then it down load the update but when it go to install I have to switch back to Osmo wifi . It is not design like the My Gear 360 cam from Samsung where it let you connect 2 wifi as once.
I've not heard of any phone able to connect to more than 1 wifi network at a time. The connection wifi connection is dependant on your phone, the osmo or gear 360 has no ability to connect to other networks. Your update settings might be set that you can't update apps over 3G /4G and only over wifi which is why you have to switch between wifi connections.

I bought one and now 100% regret. Doesnt works with all android devices. Now appears a black screen even using Iphone and no one can solve the problem. Their customer service is the worst in the earth. So dissapointed...
that is a big pice of crap, not reliable at all. plus you get a lot of problems with corrupted files and some clips will crash premiere while trying to render. wouldn't recommend this to anyone

Would the Removu be a better alternative? Please help!
Is this still a good bit of kit in 2021.....?
Great video by the way. Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated.
Very helpful with the comparison of the Osmo Mobile 2, much appreciated!
Thank you for the video. This is the first I have found that addresses issues around how I would use the Osmo. Now I have to seriously rethink purchasing it.
+Boondocking Bears I suggest buying in store and fully testing before buying. Or use my Amazon links and then it's easy to return if faulty.
Thank you, I thought I'd try it out once again after using the new mobile one and I just can't seem to get the right exposure or light or colour grading in camera when recording. I thought it was something I was doing wrong but your review suggests otherwise. Shame, a bit disappointing.
Why motion timelapse not available on dji osmo zenmuse x3 ??????????
Nobody explains Osmo plus better than u, Hatts Off 👍
are these still worth getting in 2024 considering they are cheap now?
Good review ... was about to order one but will wait until DJI update /improve the osmo !
I can see why the secondhand market is flooded with them
as they look great on paper
Nice one John

But where do you buy them?

Does this cam shoot better video than modern iPhone?
No, the iPhone X is much better.

Personally I’d go for the Osmo mobile and use your smartphone. It’ll have a better microphone and probably a better camera too.
Yes I was wondering about that, thanks
Plz tell me that how we can download the 4k footage to our android phone for editing
Great video! Please tell me, what camera did you use to shoot the opening close-ups of the Osmo? The image is very clean and sharp with great balance. Thanks!

The phone is mostly just a viewfinder/monitor so the real issues here are with the Osmo itself. It is such a shame, I had high hopes for this too.
great review...
anyone knows if this camera could work with stop motion software?
Does this work with the zenmuse XT thermal ?
Check the cord of the camera's safety belt. My camera fell to the ground and broke.
Very helpful. Thank you for the information.
very detialed review , much appreciated ,
Great review. 👍
As for the audio issues, I believe that your unit is defective. Contact DGI for a replacement.
Hi, The advice from DJI was to use the other WiFi frequency, it's a well known bug for the device.
Hola cómo estás encontré este vídeo aunque iene muchos años quiero intentar preguntarte hace poco compré mi OSMO + funcionaba muy bien pero ....de repente presente problemas como::
1 lo enciendo y no me aparece la red WiFi de el.
2 Al encenderlo No se activa la Cámara es decir no se encienden los motores de la cámara.

SI ALGUIEN LE AH PASADO ESTO Y LOGRO SOLUCIONAR LES ESTARE MUY AGRADECIDO SI ME AYUDAN PARA QUE VUELVA A SERVIR MI OSMO +
Great review! Thanks
well not for photos lol... and not using a Samsung phone... I hate them anyway lol... But I still think I'll get it for live streaming while out and about... real filming and other things are best done of other things
Thanks for your review
Thanks a million John. This is an excellent video review.
Are the focus issues serious or negligible on video?
They're enough of a problem that you can't use it reliably or, in my view, you can't use it to record anything you only get once chance to capture!
Wow sounds bad I guess Ill stick to using a gimbal and phone combination. Too bad I wanted to pair it with the Z axis kit to get that gliding footage
The Z axis extension does look really cool, but phone cameras are so good these days that I'd spend the money on a Z axis for your mobile phone gimbal instead.
Does the camera have a follow focus feature?
DJI Go app doesn’t but you can use Vertical Studio to follow your movement. I take you meant follow me and not follow focus?
Thank you for the reply. Sorry, I was not clear. I have several questions.

magnetic field ??
can you go live on youtube with it
Yes, you can it's within the DJI Go app in settings.
Fits an S8+ in the phone holder?
Yes👍🏼
In the Osmo+? DJI says only Smartphones up to 5,5". The S8+ has 6,2".
I’ve already given you my answer.
wow that audio sucked badly , good review
The audio was terrible, I don't even know how DJI managed to sell many with audio this bad.
My osmo+ works perfectly.
+The Meza Family Vlogs that's great to know. From the dji forums it looks like the first batch of devices have issues.
Waste of money I bought it an year back not a good quality videos in low Light and always need to stabilise axis before start to shoot
this is called detail review
I bought one and now 100% regret.
Doesnt works with all android devices. Now appears a black screen even using Iphone and no one can solve the problem. Their customer service is the worst in the earth. So dissapointed...
+David Gonzalez DJI are not great at communicating with their customers, however, once you are able to contact them they do resolve problems quickly.
One friendly advice: dont do that "shrap shrup" sound with your mouth. It is really annoying on the ear phones.
+mutlunun Thanks 😳
this osmo plus is CRAP i have one it sucks way to soft at least the mobile you can use a better phone the camera is a potato
Would anyone be interested in buying mine for 350 dollars the camera is nice but I'm saving up for a new drone
good review but ya got be honest Don't TELL PEOPLE TO BUY THIS, at best its a B roll cam and only outside, THIS CAMERA sucks!!!!
You're right, that's why I went into all the bad parts and don't recommend people buy it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
that is a big pice of crap, not reliable at all. plus you get a lot of problems with corrupted files and some clips will crash premiere while trying to render. wouldn't recommend this to anyone
fabulous review, thanks
