Out of the two I would have to go with the mini X-axis.
Mainly because there is more to stability than arm/wrist holding. There is no mention of the walking gait of the operative in the multiple waking video which can vary a lot from person to person.
I've actually bought the third party Osmo X-axis which in all honesty could be much more rigid and is a tad too bulky and heavy negating the Osmo Pockets main advantages of portability and lightness. Plus it needs additional weights and a holder adding even more weight. So I made my own Osmo Pocket holder cutting up old car parts (ignition coil pack covers) epoxied together and adding nuts underneath for 1/4" tripod mounting or in this instance two unused glide-cam weights.
Even then, it's top-heavy in use with one hand so I've had to modify the grip position so the pocket is below my hand height. Now it works reasonably well but is a pain to get much above waist height without excessive wrist strain. At least this mini X-axis mount looks lighter and would be interesting to find out how solid and fluid it really is. Main drawback as far as I can see would be using it with a phone which at least can be done with the one I have.
I've also been in contact with Tai Pan Cinema who are currently looking for UK distributors for their Osmo Pocket cage, as that looks promising for tripod work or fixing somewhere for remote work.
It's a pity Dji isn't faster at bringing out additional supporting kit for the Pocket. They probably could have made as much again selling users additional kit by now. |
