hey all just found out today the osmo's battery door comes off with a little clip and the new base has a groove in the side of the holder for a cable to be ran through it, this is most likely to connect an external battery or power supply....just thinking how usedfull a huge 4-5 hour battery on a belt mount with a 1m coiled cable will be or a powersupply for those long timelapses

Hi, at present, you can use the groove on the holder in two ways. One way is to tie a string for the convenience to carry , the other way is to install the Osmo base when you want to put the Osmo still on a flat surface, please refer to http://store.dji.com/product/osmo-base

I see. As for the future possibility of this groove, we haven't got any information yet. Please just pay close attention to DJI official website.

batteries that mount to belt packs with a cable leading to the osmo would be handy especially if those packs can power it for 8+hours

That'll be a very good advice, I'd like to convey it to our engineers. Hope in the future we'll get more powerful battery solution. Thank you!

yes, I suggested this a while back in this thread. Sorry you missed it DJI.    "Possible power solution for OSMO?"  I've been around a while and have rigged this for most of my pro camera work over the years.

C'mon DJI this is an easy thing to do!

External battery sounds like a great idea, it wouldn't be hard to have it as a belt or wristband, even a backpack for those 7-day time lapse hiking trips.

Thanks! I retrieve your "Possible power solution for OSMO", it's true.
All of your ideas will be appreciated and we'll estimate them seriously. As for whether it will be carried out, please wait for the future update.

I see my theory was correct, this will be awesome, what's the specs for the input like voltage and such? http://store.dji.com/product/osmo-external-battery-extender

Seems you're limited to using either a DJI Charger or DJI Battery.  I suspect you could hack it together a bit.

Ive got a rough estimate for the specs as the batteries listed as compatible have specs listed so a 14v ptap from a vlok battery will power the osmo jus need a ptap to dc power plug adapter the right size

Correction D-tap power or a 12v wall adapter as it accepts dc power

I have the Osmo base and it's a great product. I use the strap on the handle and the cord fits in the groove ok.

Yeah! The groove is a reserved design which is used now.
Thanks for your concern!

We never stop.
I hope so!

Can you please send me the firmware link also j.pierce@b**** - I've just received the battery adapter and I have the same issue with it not working.
