The 2018 CES is even not yet in full swing, yet some very interesting announcements are beginning to creep in. Chinese DJI – the company that already carved a niche for itself in the camera drone market with its series of products better than competitors at aggressive prices is now out on the same path with it camera stabilizers.
The company ahead of the CES 2018 has introduced two new stabilizers – The first is the DJI Osmo Mobile 2, which is a refresh of the original Osmo and an all-new Ronin S stabilizer for mirrorless and DSLR cameras.
The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 like the original Osmo mobile is a portable device which you can slot a phone as large as an iPhone plus into so you can capture photos and video with minimal camera shake as conceivable – even when in motion. It features DJI’s proprietary SmoothTrack technology as well as a three-axis gimbal that counters possible movements and vibration while in use.
The battery, unlike the original Osmo, is not anymore removable but offers up to 15 hours of battery life. The device works in tandem with the DJI Go app which the company says is now more improved with a couple of time-lapse modes including the Hyperlapse and Motion Timelapse, allow you to record a timelapse while the Osmo Mobile 2 is in motion.
