DJI Osmo

DJI knows a lot about video stabilization systems like no one else. The best achievements of the Chinese manufacturer in the field of building quadrocopters are embodied in DJI Osmo, a compact handheld three-axis stabilizer with a 4K camera on board.

4K camera

The device's bundled camera is similar to the one installed on the professional DJI Inspire 1 drone. Its heart is a 1/2.3" Exmor R CMOS sensor. The built-in lens provides a 94° field of view (approximately the aperture opening opens up to a maximum value of f / 2.8, which allows you to get high-quality videos in poor lighting conditions.The camera is capable of recording video in resolution up to 4K, and you can achieve the effect of Slow Motion (slow motion) already in FullHD format — recording speed at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels reaches 100 fps Only the built-in microphone is not happy — it has poor noise reduction and absorbs extraneous sounds like a sponge.

Smartphone viewfinder

The device controls are located directly on the handle. And in its central part, a removable mount for a smartphone has found shelter. The mobile phone is designed to take on the role of a viewfinder — a picture is displayed on its screen, as well as the main recording parameters (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, video resolution, etc.), which are changed immediately with one tap on the display.

Panoramas and hyperlapses

DJI Osmo has the widest possibilities in capturing 360-degree panoramas — just raise the device above your head and press one key, after which the rotating camera head does everything for you to get 360-degree photos. Also, the camera is just begging for it to shoot with its help a bewitching hyperlapse.

Upgrade

For an additional fee, the manufacturer offers a range of accessories, such as frame or car mounts. In addition, the complete camera module can be replaced with a more advanced solution in the face of the DJI Zenmuse X5R — a camera with a Micro 4/3 mount, which enjoys all the privileges of interchangeable lenses and records RAW video.

Reference. Hyperlapse is frame-by-frame time-lapse photography in motion. The most popular objects for hyperlapses are various architectural structures.
