To answer quickly, yes the Osmo is still very viable and a great device, it hits all of your points, easy to use, good stability and very nice HD quality. However, I do want to point out some things that I think might help you make your purchase. First, the Osmo is heavily dependant on the app, you can shoot video and record by just turning the Osmo on and pushing buttons, but you will not be able to see anything or change settings. The problem here is not the reliance on the app, but that you need to use your phone to access the app, I can tell you this was a huge problem for me when the Osmo was first released. Battery dying, phone calls or texts interrupting filming, also phones tend to lose brightness when they get hot and battery gets low so they can be hard to see in the daytime, I can honestly say this was one of the biggest drawbacks of owning an Osmo. Then they released the crystalsky, it's basically a dedicated Android tablet disguised as a monitor, it solves all the issues and makes operating the Osmo a breeze, I also see you own a Mavic Air and the cystalsky can act as a monitor for that drone as well as any Dji drone you purchase in the future. It's not cheap but for everything it does, I feel it was worth every penny. You're the only one who knows what will be best for you, so I say keep doing your research and when you're ready, go for it, but if you're afraid the Osmo is no longer viable or competitive, I'd have to say it definitely is, even if it's at the end of its life cycle.
Hope everything turns out great for you. Cheers. |
