The first thing I noticed when viewing the release pictures was the absence of the turn knob for attaching the gimbal to the Osmo handle. I realized then that it was a complete unit and that current Osmo owners would not be able to use this. From a hardware stand point I don't care for this, because the X3 and most certainly the X5 will out perform camera phones simply due to sensor size. So using a camera phone seems to be a step backwards for me, I own both the X3 and X5. The Osmo Mobile is meant to compete against products like Feiyu Tech's G4 pro gimbal, which is priced at $300 as well.
However, from a software stand point, there are features that current Osmo users could really use and DJI could easily implement. I don't understand DJI's current stance on not providing them unless the want us to simply buy these new products in order to use these new features, i.e. more money. It's funny because clearly DJI wants to be like Apple. Apple has one of the most loyal consumers bases in the world. They support their customers. I understand that technology eventually becomes obsolete but the original Osmo is not even a year old. In 2016 I have spent $7,000 on DJI products alone. Starting from this point forward I will not spend a single dollar more on DJI products until I see a change in their support for current users, especially Osmo users. I'll use what I have, Osmo Pro and Phantom 4, but for future tech I'll go to a company that won't abandon a product I purchased less than a year ago.
Examples
- Inspire 1 X5 focus peaking. Osmo X5 no focus peaking
- Osmo + motion time lapse. Regular Osmo regular time lapse
- Osmo mobile active track. Regular Osmo, I saw in another thread that this feature is only available on the Osmo mobile.
