Hello, would it be able to use this new OSMO Mobile 2 adapter with Osmo Zenmuse X3 like Osmo Mobile M1?  Thank you!

Wow, that looks like a nice upgrade!

will get the professional answer from our support team before give a reply here!

Retail price is 129$?

ahhhh nuts. I very recently bought a refurbished Osmo Mobile...lol. Should have waited.

Does this fix the iPhone X OIS issues the original Osmo was having?

DJI Grace Posted at 2018-1-7 09:53
Yes! Nice to see you here!

Indeed!
Nice to be back.
Very busy with some projects, so a little less time in the evenings....

Kuba_Vlk_CZ Posted at 2018-1-7 09:46
Hello, would it be able to use this new OSMO Mobile 2 adapter with Osmo Zenmuse X3 like Osmo Mobile M1?  Thank you!

I doubt it, as it is very unlikely this model has a removable head on the handle.

The handle alone sells for over $200. So this for $130 is very unlikely to offer that functionality for less money.

Montfrooij Posted at 2018-1-7 09:48
Wow, that looks like a nice upgrade!

Except for the non-replaceable battery.

Sure it has a MUCH longer run time, but if it dies when in use no quick battery replacements and no easy way to replace old degraded batteries.

Never mind, I'm not sure I understand the question.

Hugh Jaynus Posted at 2018-1-7 10:47

On the bright side you got it at a good price and you have a removable battery option.

Powerbank?

Montfrooij Posted at 2018-1-7 12:02
Powerbank?

yes, that always an option, but the battery will eventually degrade and the ability to simple buy a new battery to replace it and not have to deal with a battery bank is far superior.

Not sure how feasible it would be for the more daring among us to be able to open it up and do a battery replacement ourselves, but perhaps that's a possibility.

That is true.
But in reality, after 2 years usage your phone is about useless and you will need a new one.
I think your Osmo Mobile will still be reasonably ok, since you won't charge that everyday.
(not me at least) as I will with my phone.
But I agree, a replaceable battery is great.

Yes, not that big a deals as if you take care of it the battery should last you a good number of years for it degrades to the point of being unusable.

Still, I feel it a but of a downgrade in functionality. nontheless the Price is a nice bonus, and should make it very popular.

Maybe V3 will have all the features, lol.

For now I am happy with mine

Does this fix the iPhone X OIS issues the original Osmo was having?

+1 i was very disappointed with the Osmo Mobile 1. It could be such a great combo, but the stabilisation with OIS iPhones sucks.

Did you improve anything in this regard?

Also, i think that the smartphones camera being off from the center of the gimbal (the cameras are on the side of the phone) exaggerates the stabilisation problems. Its not without reason that the normal Osmo camera is spheric and in the center of the gimbal, right?

fansf4ef428c Posted at 2018-1-7 10:58
Does this fix the iPhone X OIS issues the original Osmo was having?

I believe it is more of an Apple problem than DJI. The lens just can't be "locked" in place.

So I think the blame is misplaced:

See starting at 3:48


SO unless they have some special magic sausce, it's likely to still be present.

Does it work with iPhone 7 Plus or does it need counterweights?

I believe it is possible to fix. A company called flowmotion has a new gimbal out that supposedly addresses the OIS issues.

fanscbe312e7 Posted at 2018-1-7 15:15

At the top is states, "The Osmo Mobile 2 supports smartphones measuring from 58.6mm-84.8mm width and up to 8.4mm thick. This covers most phones currently available, from the iPhone SE to the iPhone 6s Plus and Android phones of similar sizes."

Curiously, it omits the iPhone 7 Plus, is it a similar size to the 6 Plus (I'm not an iPhone user so don't know)?

The demensions are bigger than the original Osmo Mobile so I suspect it's designed to handle larger devices than the original.

My Zhiyun Smooth 3 has larger demsions and stronger motora and can handle my Note 8 with ease even with it's CrashGuard bumper case. My Osmo Mobile can work with the case and barely with no case.

sigh, didn't know about this release else i would have waited. gotten the osmo mobile 1 less than a month ago and it's having issues already

I have the first Osmo
Mobile and my iPhone 8 Plus is tok heavy without a case and even if I balance it all the way it still is too heavy to balance it correctly, with this one have that issue as well?

OSMO mobile 1 last week

Will it fix the problem Osmo owners are having with drifting/rotating gimbals, as seen in this thread here?

I had a feeling, that not to buy the end of last year reduced OSMO mobil can  be an advantage.
Now we need only some reviews, to check on that.
Do I see that right? Rechargeable with powerbank?
Need for that, if 15 h usability?

Dji osmo 2 can support Honor 8 pro ?

Very nice upgrade...

I am fully disappointed with DJI and their marketing strategy before this launch. I bought my OLD osmo mobile last month following a promotion in thanksgiving that dropped the MSRP in $100. Unfortunately now I realize that DJI where burning inventory before this new anouncement prior to CES 2018 in Las Vegas. If I could, I would return it and get another gimbal from a brand that doesn’t play with the loyalty of the customers.

Hobbes C Posted at 2018-1-7 17:09

No issues here with OM1 and very happy with the removable battery (the 2 does not have that)

Hello, would it be able to use this new OSMO Mobile 2 adapter with Osmo Zenmuse X3 like Osmo Mobile M1?  Thank you!

Hi Kuba, the answer is No at the moment.
Please pay attention to our website about the future release, thanks for your interest.

As my kid would say “meh”

please Dji GO update ...iphone x 4k 60fps :-(

fansf4ef428c Posted at 2018-1-7 15:25
I believe it is possible to fix. A company called flowmotion has a new gimbal out that supposedly addresses the OIS issues.

thanks! very interesting.

The flowmotion website says:
"Q: Does it work with the built-in stabilization in new smartphones?
A: Yes, we've carefully optimized both soft- and hardware to make the stabilizer respond fast enough to not trigger the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). If you have a phone with EIS, such as the Google Pixel, we recommend turning this off when you use the stabilizer. "

What about the Osmo 2, DJI?

Same as Osmo 1, or did you try to address this?

Either way i have a feeling that such gimbals just arent for Smartphones with optical stabilisation (such as iPhone 6s, 7, 8, X). On the iPhone SE i think EIS cant be turned off either. :-(
Guess i need a regular Osmo or Osmo+

Unfortunately you didn't get the latest and greatest.  Don't be disappointed in DJI.  This is pretty much standard procedure every company does to dump stock before a release.  I mean the are many other ways DJI disappoints us but as far as Im concerned this is not one.

Sounds like Zhiyun got ripped off lol

This is a slap in the face for 1st OSMO mobile owners.  OSMO comes up with an upgrade with better battery, portrayed mode and etc. but lowers the price to almost half. They should give 1st OSMO mobile owners an option to trade with the new for less!

Will the OSMO 2 work with iPhone x, regarding it's weight?

Also, will it support an iPhone (wether it be 7,8, or X) with accessories attached, ie: moment lenses WITHOUT having to use a counterweight?

To make things simple, how much weight will the OSMO 2 support?
