So, I've just ordered an Osmo Mobile having been on the fence about getting an original Osmo.
I am planning on purchasing an iphone 7 when it is released and clearly the rumours are that it will not have a 3.5mm headphone socket. This will obviously cause issues for plugging in an external mic to the phone. The obvious answer will be some form of lightning adaptor to plug the mic into, but looking at the way the iphone mounts into the Osmo mobile, it looks like this may not be possible given the orientation of the phone when it is mounted in the Osmo... Does anyone know if the gimbal can be reversed and the phone mounted either way to ensure the lightning port is left exposed? I know the obvious alternative is a seperate sound recorder but it starts to get a bit inconvenient then... I plan to use the Osmo for action shooting but also would like to use it for interviews, but without an external mic ability, this may be tricky!
