Yes but i dont understand what you getting at with diff leads etc and 2 amps/5 volts.
Surely i should be able just to put DJI lead into usb prt and charge away.
Grab any charger you have with a USB port on it. Look at the label. There, you'll see that it's rated at 5 Volts. This is the voltage of all USB ports, and all USB chargers.
Now, look on the label for either A, Amps or mA (milliamps). This is the amount of current the charger can deliver. This is the determining factor for how fast your stuff (OSMO, phone, whatever), charges.
While your computer does have 5 Volt USB ports, the USB standard says that these ports can only deliver between 300mA (1/3 of an Amp) and 900 mA (almost 1 Amp).
A standard iPhone USB charger can provide 1 Amp, so charging your OSMO will still take more than four hours. Some iPad chargers provide more than 1 Amp, so charging will be faster.
DJI's OSMO 2 manual says that your OSMO will charge in two and a half hours, provided that the power source is capable of providing a full 2 Amps. Using math, we can assume then, that if your charger only provides 1 Amp, it will take at least twice as long to charge, so about four hours.
I know you'd like to just plug it in and go, but charging isn't magic. Your OSMO is charging on whatever you've got it connected to (as indicated by the blinking, white LED), but that USB port on your computer isn't going to charge it in two hours.
Your options: wait. Or find a USB charger capable of providing more amperage, ideally 2 Amps.
Or hey, if that's too frustrating, maybe return it.
