It’s a hand-held camera that you can use while moving around and still get viewable images — something that you can’t get with any other camera without a third-party gimbal. And, importantly, it’s low-cost.
And that’s it really.
It’s nice that it can do other things (such as time-lapse, panoramas, etc.) — but I can get those done with equipment that I already own.
It’s a bit ‘buggy’, and likely to be so for a few more months before it’s fully functional and up to the standard that we’d all like it to be.
It’s short on some features that people are requesting/complaining about: but expecting timecode on a 450 GBP/600 USD camera? Really?
Still, there are plenty of great examples on Vimeo and YouTube to show what it can do, when its limitations are taken into account.
I haven’t used it that much yet, because of the 'up-down' movement when walking over uneven terrain — but the new Z-axis looks like it should reduce/eliminate that problem.
There are a number of people who are unhappy with their purchase — but then again, there are a lot of people getting great results.
So. Dji definitely have quality assurance and customer service issues to overcome — but yes, I’m relatively happy so far. But I doubt that it will ever be used for more than a small percentage of my shots.
For the money, it’s great value.
