Personally I wouldn’t get an Osmo Mobile 2, but here is a brief run down of some of your options:
Go Pro:
None of the smart features of the Osmo, it just stabilizes the camera, and I’m not even sure if you can monitor the video in real time or not.
Fisheye lens
On the other hand, GoPros are near indestructible, but I’m not so sure about that gimbal.
Osmo Mobile 2:
It just stabilizes your phone, albeit very well, so your really just still taking cellphone videos and how good those are depends on your phone.
Has lots of nice smart features, including active track
Has a great battery, but I’m skeptical how long it will actually last in the field, especially if you are also recharging your phone with it, and once it’s drained you can’t change it, you have to plug in the whole device and wait 2 hours for it to charge, and if the battery ever gos bad, your out of luck
Screwy controls
Lack of accessories, you can hold it in your hand, set it on a table, or put it on a tripod, that’s pretty much it. No other mounts, and no way to attach an external microphone or light
Looks flimsy
Osmo Mobile 1:
Everything the Osmo Mobile 2 can do, and none of the problems.
Less battery capacity than the Osmo Mobile 2, but the batteries are removable and you can carry as many as you need and recharge them quicker.
Can use all the Osmo accessories except the Z Axis and Extention Cable (and by exiting the sticky (helmet) mounts, and the wearable mount would be difficult).
Can’t use portrait mode.
Made of metal.
More expensive than Osmo Mobile 2.
Osmo handle with M1 Gimbal:
Exactly like the Osmo Mobile except that the gimbal is removeable so you can use the Z Axis and extention cable
The handle can also be used for the other Osmo cameras and the cameras off the Inspire 1
More expensive than the Osmo Mobile
Osmo:
Superior camera in every way to any of the previous options
Prosumer instead of consumer grade, can produce professional quality footage
Battery only lasts about an hour to an hour and a half
Much more expensive than either Osmo Mobile
No active track
Osmo+:
Same as the Osmo except it also has an optical zoom and an extra gimbal motor
It also has motion timelapse
More expensive than the Osmo
Osmo Pro:
Professional grade camera with a micro 4/3 lens
Produces near Hollywood level footage
No (native) optical zoom
Can use interchangeable lenses, the same type as you might use for a high end DSLR
Arguably better options exist at this price point
Very expensive
Osmo Pro RAW:
Even nicer camera than the Osmo Pro, now capable of producing RED footage
Hollywood level quality
Arguably comperable to a Sony RED camera, but at a much nicer price
Still no native optical zoom
Other than that, it is the same as an Osmo Pro except the footage can be output in RAW file format
Extremely expensive, think about the same price as a decent used car
