Hi there,
Just a little feedback for the DJI folks. I was looking fowardward to trying out an Osmo 2, so ordered one up.
Unfortunately, the balancing arm would not permit sufficient travel to allow balancing my S9+ with its (slim) case on. It would barely balance with the case off, but it is a real pain to remove the case every time I want to use it. When a good balance was achieved, it interfered with the gimbal's free movement, and the gimbal couldn't be stored in its case without loosening the adjusting arm again, meaning the balance adjustment would have to be redone for each use.
Additionally the clamp arms which secure the phone had the cutout notches placed too low so that the phone would not fit in them, even with the case removed, and the very sticky material which presses against the phone's back while it's in the clamp made getting a decent side-to-side balance tediously difficult.
The gimbal and its software would prbably be fine for smaller phones, notwithstanding the lack of manual camera settings for Android users.
Since the market trend is towards larger phones, it seems rather short sighted not to make allowances for them however. Definitely not recommended for Note owners or S8+ & S9+ owners.
I've returned it already, but hopefully that bit of feedback might be useful to you for the Osmo 3. ;-)
