As far as external magnets overriding the servo mechanism, I would hope that the module is either magnetically shielded or uses non-magnetic stainless metals, otherwise that would be some mess to guarantee operation in all instances. I really don't think that the OIS in the iPhone can be disabled without gutting the iPhone.
I read about the problem and look at the videos, but there seem to be several issues with the stability. One is bobbing, that is caused by walking, and moving in the vertical direction. That cannot be fixed, unless 'four plus' axes stabilizer is used. Steadicam vest, Movi, etc. have that as part of the system the operators wear, it is heavy and consists of spring loaded parallelogram like mechanism(s). that is something on top of the three axes, and could be added. You'd still need the three axes like Osmo. (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/video/buying-guide/video-rig-stabilizer)
I agree with you on the 'bobbing' at this price point it is a '3 axis gimbal', the 4th axis is in your legs, body and arms ;-)
Having played with the gimbal and looked at the great output others' have created I don't believe the issues are necessarily with the physical hardware. It feels good in the hand and ergonomically works for me. There may be tweaks to the firmware that could enhance it, but the real challenge is two-fold: firstly, in the DJI Go app (and the integration with other apps); and secondly, us as users getting used to what it can achieve and can't achieve and adapting our styles and usage profiles.
It is a 1st gen product and therefore probably not a true open the box and operate product in a mass consumer context yet and requires some additional skills to be provided by the user. The good thing is that so far the physical hardware seems sound and the firmware/apps/users can be tweaked, adjusted and evolved over time - hopefully ;-) |
