I have noticed that when I use my OSMO with my X5 camera and use and change lenses, I need to counter balance quite a bit based on my use of my Variable ND, polarizers and other filters. As I add weight to the front of my lens by adding filters, when I turn off the OSMO, the camera hangs straight down almost. I use a 12mm, 15mm, 17mm, 25mm and a 45mm Olympus micro 4/thirds's lenses. I have found that using the DJI Zenmuse X5 / X5R Camera Lens Balancing Kit I am able to mittigate most of the need for counter-balance. I bought this "Kit" on eBay, www.ebay.com/itm/-/182063679059? This product is really for the X5 /X5R in it's aerial capacity on the Inspire 1 Pro. When using the OSMO, the orientation of the X5 camera is upside down as compared with the X5 when mounted on the Inspire 1 Pro. I emailed the manufacturer of the "Kit" that I bought on eBay and they mailed me a new pre-cut piece of velcro for free so that I was able to mount it on the top side of the camera where you load the SD card. It came self-adhesive so it was easy to add it. They also told me that all future kits will come with the extra pre-cut piece of velcro that will accommodate using the X5 on the OSMO as well. Something must be done to balance the camera/lens or the motors will surely burn-up having to deal with the grossly out-of-balance camera / lens. Hope this helps some of you that have run into this same problem.
Also, I was wondering what kind of video settings people are using and if in fact if they are using the same settings they were using when used with the Inspire 1 Pro? What have your over-all experiences been like using the X5 with the OSMO handle?
