Wow, I had in my amazon cart an osmo pocket and a bunch accessories ready to purchase, then I came across this thread. It's a shame, the camera looks so cool, but would be useless to me without live streaming, I don't really want to buy the gopro, but it seems like the only viable alternative to this, really sucks as I was looking forward to using this camera.
Totally agree with you there, friend. I run a media consulting business that specializes in getting business set up with livestreaming. We've been having a HUGE demands from our clients for mobile livestream solutions that are small and discreet.
We came down to two solutions: 1) the osmo pocket, and 2) the go pro hero 7 black. Having used previous osmo devices, I assumed that it would have built-in livestreaming capabilities, but imagine my surprise when I get my device and can't figure it out, then come here and discover that it's not available because "reasons".
Now I have to advise ALL of my clients to go for the go pro hero 7 black for their needs, as that does have built-in livestreaming capabilities. Even though they have to buy a ton of accessories to get it set up properly versus the osmo pocket, at least the go pro CAN livestream.
It's sad because DJI has lost out on a huge number of sales from my clients, and I'm absolutely positive I'm not the only one who is recommending clients away from the Osmo pocket (I've contacted other media consultants and they are also recommending their clients to use a go pro or to stick with their phone).
If DJI implements livestreaming directly, or even just allows you to turn off the overlay in the mimo app to allow you to stream your phone's screen, this would be my absolute recommendation to all my clients who are looking for an easy and intuitive camera that can livestream. But as of now, they will become go pro customers, and will most-likely stick with go pros going into the future. |
