Hi,

I want to buy a Osmo Mobile 2, but first I’m trying the DJI GO to be sure that GPS coordinates are available on my iPhone when I take pictures and videos (I need to post pictures on a map).

I did several test only with pictures on several places, and the GPS coordinates are available on the camera roll only in a few tests. In all cases, I took the same picture phot with the iPhone camera and the GPS coordinates are always available.

Am I doing something wrong ? Or maybe to export the meta data like GPS coordinates aren’t supported on the app ?

Regards,

Umel

Hi, thank you for waiting, I was able to clarify this concern, unfortunately, our DJI GO app does not have a capability of GPS coordinates with the pictures and videos. Kindly keep us posted in any case you need our assistance.

Thanks for your answer, but I’ve been trying the app the last 24h and in some cases the metada with the GPS coordinates are saved on my camera roll.

Under what conditions are the metadata saved on the camera roll ?

Another possibility that I’m thinking is to use the gimbal without the app, only to stabilize the smartphone with the several modes (block, smooth and free), and taking advantage of the iPhone’s camera.

Will it work ?

Yes, it's possible to use our unit to stabilize your phone only while using the stock camera of your iPhone, however, you cannot use the features of our Osmo mobile 2 since you're using the stock camera only and regarding with this metadata we may need to confirm it as well with our engineers to provide accurate information. Thank you.

While we expect the answer of the enginers about GPS, what functions are not available if I’m not using the DJI GO ?

Hello there. Sorry for the late response. Functions or features that will not be available if not using DJI Go app are some shooting modes like pano, timelapse, tracking and so on. Also, the record button on the gimbal.

Very disappointing. Just got my Osmo Mobile 2 today and as using camera app works just fine for metadata, other features don’t work, without the dji app, such as zoom. Looks like I’ll be returning it

Is this feature ever going to be added? I don't know of any iOS camera app that doesn't put in the GPS metadata if it uses location. If not, I guess I'm going to return mine. Super sad as having GPS is huge!

Hi, Sorry for the troubles. We can forward this request to our engineers for us to see if they could possibly add it on our application.

So last comment was September 2018. We are now almost may 2019. Has this been resolved? My photos and videos lose their dates and location data when saved to the iPhone

Hello,
Same issue on IOS (iPhone X) with Osmo Mobile 3, no GPS location.
No Problem with Android on my Note 10 +, the GPS location run
Why it's OK on Android and Not OK on iOs
Thanks

Hello when are you expect to fix this issue? It’s a shame that all the information from the picture like faces and GPS are lost.
Thanks

hi,
do you have update to import metadata from DJI app to Photos in Mac ?
here is "the why" of my question:
in DJI App (Mimo) in my iPhone, geolocalisation is OK; but, if I import all photos from my iPhone to "Photos" (iMac) geolocalisation is not import.
so it's a trouble for me.
do you have solution, please
Best regards

PS: sorry for my poor English please.Geolocalisation is G.P.S. position for each photo or picture takes with DJI Mimo app with Osmo Mobile 3 (the same trouble with the Osmo Mobile 2)
