Well I have gone ahead and ordered the M1 Gimbal today, about an hour and a half ago, we shall see if it was the correct choice.
$169 vs. $129, no portrait mode, no hyper-lapse, heavier, less battery life, and no phone charging, BUT I have an actual trigger, I can use all of my existing accessories, including the Z Axis and Cable, I have changeable batteries, it’s more durable, and I don’t have to carry a whole extra Osmo, just an extra gimbal.
And it will also be obsolete sooner... We’ll see if I made the right move.
DJI, the thing that really killed the Osmo Mobile 2 for me more than anything else was the lack of the rosette mount, I could have lived with the rest, but that was just too much. The lack of changeable batteries was almost as bad as that as well though. If you should release an Osmo Mobile 3, I highly suggest you correct these issues with that. Of course a trigger and removeable gimbal would also be very nice.
I’m assuming this is a preview of sorts for the Osmo 2, which I now expect to be released imminently. Please consider these flaws for that too, before it launches.
I am going out on a limb and guessing a new attachment system is slated to replace the rosette mount, but I see nowhere it could attach unless it clamped on, other than threading into the bottom, but having stuff hang off the bottom just seems really awkward and unwieldy. |
