Actually, I picked up an OSMO+ and already had an X5 adaptor. The X5 Adaptor will NOT fit the OSMO+ Handle. This was a real dissapointment for me! The tabs (that act as threads) which hold the X5 adaptor to the OSMO handles is THICKER in the X5 adaptor than in the socket for the OSMO+. The OSMO standard model works just fine. So, WHY do DJI representatives NOT know this?
So far I have not seen this written up anywhere, no videos on YouTube, nowhere. Very curious. I guess this is yet another case of Early Adopter Blues?! I am PISSED, however. This is just another case of product development and the careful slicing up of market niches. You either go SOSMO and add on an X5, or OSMO+ and by a one-trick pony.
I suppose corporate thinking was about making more money (always) and the logic that someone buying an X3 zoom-capable camera is NOT going to buy an X5 to add to it, they'd just buy the OSMO PRO with an X5 camera. However, making it so that no one CAN add an X5 to the OSMO+ is a real mean sort of market ploy. This should be CLEARLY NOTED in the appropriate places by DJI, and is simply is NOT!
Like a lot of people, I tend to sell off the last GREATEST gear to afford to move up, so once I ordered the OSMO+ I quickly sold the OSMO for a good deal to someone who did not require optical zoom capbilities. Now, my only option (to use my X5 and adapter on the OSMO+ is to buy another Standard OSMO handle and give DJI another $220.00 USD for that. YES, I'd have 2 complete systems, but I am still forced to buy more. What a coincidence?
Got to love the Chinese market manipulation. Great products, bad attitude...often. |
