I ordered an Osmo Mobile 2 from Apple last Wednesday, Feb 7. My order confirmation said it would be delivered between March 9 and March 23. Imagine my delight when it showed up on my doorstep 2 days later, Feb 9.
I charged it up fully and used it for 30 minutes or so yesterday, Saturday. I love the footage and am excited to use it more extensively.
Now today, Sunday, I went to use it and it shows a battery that's fully drained.
When doing a battery check, it shows one blinking white light and a blinking green light. When powered on, it goes to normal position for a second, then points down, (meaning, the face of the iPhone is facing straight down while the rear camera is facing straight up,) and powers itself off.
I suppose it's possible that I left it powered on yesterday. I thought it was powered off when I stopped using it and I will certainly make sure no lights are on when I am done with it today.
But it charged Saturday for 2+ hours and had three solid white battery lights and one solid green light. Accodring to DJI, that should give me 15 hours of use.
Assuming I'm a doofus and I left it powered on, is there no auto shut off when the device is just sitting on a table for 20 hours? The manual is silent on the issue of an auto-shutoff feature.
My plan is to fully charge it again today, (it's charging now,) and when I am done with it today, check the battery lights and make a note of how many come on, then make sure it's powered off with no lights on of any color or any state, (solid, blinking etc.)
Then, tomorrow morning, see if it's still holding a charge and if the same number of battery lights come on, or if it exhibits the same drained battery behavior.
I hope to be able to report that it was just operator error.
