Even though I slightly dislike your language I have to agree to your criticism.
The Osmo has been pretty useless ever since and still is even after the December update which luckily I was able to install without major problems:
1) Ok, 4k video in 4096 x 2160 resolution now seems to work, but all the audio issues (cracks, unsynchronous audio / video, not to mention the horrible fan noise even with external mic) makes the Osmo still unusable for simultanous video/audio recording, which I consider an essential feature of a video recording device. If you´re just a fun youtube filmer and dont require audio - ok, fine. For the rest: unusable even with ext. mic.
2) The annoying gimbal drift also seems to be fixed now (Thx), and the uncontrollable gimbal movement (e.g. wind during timelapsing) was heavily reduced - but not fully eliminated yet! Being far from 4k resolution and interrupted with weird FOV shaking the timelapse video itself is nothing but nonsense. Unfortunatly even the JPG recording in timelapse doesn´t work really: first of all it limits your recording frequency to 0.5 Hz or below which (together with the ridiculous battery lifetime) leads to a max. TimeLapse movie (24 fps) of about 1 minute per battery... second of all one of hundred JPGs is corrupted during recording so your Timelapse video will have "Jumps" even when using JPG images.
So for any ambitious Timelapsing the Osmo still lacks a bunch of bugfixes! And why buy an Osmo if you have to do all the PC post production anyhow like with any other digital camera?!
And yes - we are still waiting for the promised pre-programmable 2-axis camera rotation feature (which would be an answer to above question and an amazing feature), but I do not want to complain about that one (yet). First do your bugfixes of primary key functions and then the improvement please. Luckily most of these issues seem to be SW / Firmware issues and thus fixable (if DJI ever will be able to perform tests and deliver installable firmware, HaHaHa).
Once the key functions work fine I´m sure DJI can convert many of the currently frustrated Osmo users into happy customers, the potential of Osmo is definitly there - but you have to do it. Now! |
