You'll lose features just going to Android because DJI bows to iOS but consistently shows no love for Android probably because Apple sells their products in their stores (http://www.apple.com/shop/accessories/all-accessories).
In addition to the features that are just flat out missing from the Android version (slo-mo video, manual camera settings) you'll also encounter device specific limitations (no 4K etc.) to which DJI will assure you will be fixed in future versions citing that "it's hard to make software that works with all the different versions of Android" despite the fact that millions of developers make their apps work across many versions.
Sure, you can just use the default camera app but if you're gonna do that then you won't be able to use the hardware buttons even tho a $20 selfie stick has the capability. To that I say, there are other smartphone gimbals that stabilize great with no need for a dedicated app and they cost less.
I've owned the Osmo since Sept and still haven't seen any notable improvements with the DJI Go App for Android. I've used it with the Note 7 and Nexus 5x and the app has proven unreliable at best and the few things that they did improve like increasing pano size still don't even match the capability of the default camera app.
The thing I don't understand is why they would show so little interest in making an app that works properly with 87% of smartphones worldwide?!
With that said, as an Android user the gimbal stabilizes great soon as it's powered on but all I have been able to use it for is the gimbal/handle, no app, no buttons. I should mention that there is one need for the DJI app... to calibrate the horizontal (which it frequently loses). |
