DJI Osmo Mobile 2! Favorite iPhone X Accessory Review #Helpful Post

what's up guys everything Apple Pro here

and the DJI Osmo mobile 2 is here this

is actually the sequel to my favorites

ever iPhone accessory aside from Apple's

line of the air pods everything this

thing is seriously awesome and I'm so

excited to try out the new one so let's

get this thing on box I'm going to go

out in the wild have fun recording day

shooting some footage with this guy and

a new iPhone 10 so a little summary for

you guys this thing is way cheaper

$130 it's better equipped to handle

heavier phones like the plus series

it's got longer battery life you don't

need to use a weird charger for it

anymore uses micro USB apparently it's

better in every single way so I'm super

psyched about actually using this thing

oh whoops didn't realize that I was

there all right so some styrofoam here

some sort of carrying case oh very nice

it comes with a carrying case now

all right so charging cable and this guy

so it comes in this gray finish you know

and it's pretty similar to the old one

actually so as you can see pretty

similar maybe a little bit shorter

doesn't have this extra additional stack

here overall it's bigger but seems like

it's a little bit more compact there is

a mechanism for clipping here it's using

a just tension instead of having to

screw it in manually and then you

tighten it using this bolts right here

so let's see how it fits an iPhone 10

here very grippy actually had some

really beautiful shots with the old one

and then you lock this so I expect this

one to be the same let's see if it comes

charged at all so power button oh it's

dead but the power button is here

instead of one other right here so organ

amelie the controls are a little bit

different it's overall it's a pretty

compact feels good it's not as grippy to

hold as the old one they got rid of this

grip pad it's just plastic so see it

feels almost a little bit cheaper

honestly on the outside but inside it's

made of magnesium now it's a lot lighter

which is cool batteries built-in so I'm

gonna go ahead and charge this thing

we're gonna go out and get some cool

footage with it hopefully I'm excited to

see and yes it will handle heavier

phones a lot better now which is off

all right so after spending an entire

day with the sky filming I do have some

impressions some great not all good

there's definitely some stuff I wish

that they did not switch up from the

original I'm gonna go ahead and mention

what I liked about this guy first off it

charges fast and the battery life is

very good I do like that I like how

light it is there's a grip issue there

as well I like that the bottom has a

mount here if you wanted to use a

time-lapse oh you don't have to buy a

separate stand for it it's straight up

there I love that there's actually a

charging port here in the back that you

can charge your iPhone while filming

because the battery here is more

sustainable and can't do that now

instead of needing to be charged while

filming it so there's that oh and I

forget to mention of course you do have

the option to film in a portrait mode as

well now so this way it'll stabilize

your phone oh definitely not like that

so I'm sure you within the app you have

to enable it but you you get the option

to do that on the old one you weren't

really able to pull your thing down

because that was in the way so it was

only landscape video um yeah so just

about ends there it's there's a lot of

design wise that I don't like I

definitely don't like that they got rid

of the trigger on the back that was

really quick for double tapping and

stabilizing now that function has been

replaced by double tapping this button

here but half the time I don't even know

if this thing is on it's very confusing

definitely the orientation of the

buttons I don't like as much I just wish

that they kept the trigger in the back

here I really like that one I don't like

installing the phone in here it becomes

a real hassle because half the time I do

one side and the other side doesn't come

out with it so then the phone becomes

lopsided on the old one it was really

stable you just unscrewed it came out

and screwed it in and it was much

simpler than this one honestly

removing and installing the phone so I

think that was a cost-saving measure I

think

rid of that don't like that it doesn't

feel a solid I mean the grip here is

awesome you know you just have a firm

grip on this one it's very slippery does

it feel the same but let me actually pop

this thing in and turn it on for you

guys so you gotta act like rebalance

these reshuffle them every single time

and then you tighten it in so turning it

on is kind of confusing on its own you

got to hold this thing for a very long

time and then eventually it no powers on

it and definitely using this thing I

noticed that it wasn't as smooth and

stable as this one I don't know if it's

a weight thing because this thing is

lighter but it wasn't the same it was

immediately apparent filming between

them and I brought this one up there

just to make sure I'm not crazy and yes

my observations were true just doesn't

feel as refined yet but I think with

time that can change with software

updates hopefully because this one

definitely got better with time it was

not as good when it just came out and I

do have faith in DJI so I'm hoping that

you update it make it better with time

it is smooth I'd say the panning is

pretty smooth it's cool that you have a

dedicated zoom control now as well so

you can zoom within the app in and out

it's pretty great so about the quality

while recording there were several

things that I didn't notice the issue of

the optical image stabilizer on the

built-in camera fighting with the gimbal

is definitely still there and I don't

think that's anything that DGI can fix

they certainly can mitigate it by

disabling the digital stabilization

within the app which I don't know why

they haven't done already filmic pro a

different app has the option to do that

so they can make it better with that but

they cannot disable the optical image

stabilization so the best thing you can

do if you buy one of these to reduce

that shape that you're seeing in the

video which is honestly pretty bad when

you're moving heavily is to film in 4k

that way the optical image stabilizer

isn't working and use the filmic Pro

application that way you can get some

really smooth shots I definitely was not

doing that also I wish that's DGI

enabled 4k 60 within the app right now

you can't do that so you're not able to

get this slow-motion shot that was only

films using the native application for

the camera on this guy so and say that

it's good for standing or very minimal

movement shots if you're like running or

in a very rocky place as I was

see the forest walking it's definitely

not gonna be a smooth nowhere near

compared to like a professional version

of this but still for some basic stuff

getting some you know amateur video it's

it's not bad I'd say for $130 actually

very good so this is obviously a very

extreme example but when we were

sprinting up that Rocky Hill you can

definitely tell that the DJI Osmo mobile

- and the optical image stabilizer

we're fighting for control of which one

would stabilize the video and as a

result to get this rolling shutter look

it's pretty bad

so definitely from standing shots it's a

lot better you get these smoothness that

you need but when you're walking when

you're moving at the same time you

definitely don't get the shot that you

want it just gets ruined by that fight

between the two stabilizers and it's

funny to me that the iPhone 10 still has

that shutter issue to an extent Apple

definitely tried to fix it but it is

still there in some shots I got my

iPhone 10 and I definitely don't like

the flaring it does when going from dark

to light I'd say capability wise it's 80

75 80 percent of this guy I don't know

why I just really really liked the

original it's got that premium feel to

its refinement hopefully this gets there

eventually but right now you know softer

but it just isn't there fully otherwise

it did the job I was able to go out

filming with it still have a lot of

battery life afterwards the battery life

I gotta clarify is a very very good on

this guy so for all the film niggas you

do get that so as a sequel to the

original they definitely stepped down in

some ways in others of course price

battery life lightness they did step up

the overall interface isn't as great

it's a bit confusing it's a lot harder

to learn off the get-go versus the

original but once you get used to I'm

sure that won't be a problem

I'm just hoping that the app itself gets

updated for 4k 60 soon and other than

that definitely still a thumbs up I

would recommend it

even though all of the issues with the

optical image stabilization is still

there I have faith in DG I'm I'm hoping

that they fix the app by adding the

option to disable digital stabilization

otherwise guys thanks so much for

watching that is the DJI Osmo mobile - I

love it still my favourite iPhone

accessory and definitely something that

I'll be taking with me more

the battery life is better in the

charging situation definitely liking

that alright guys thanks for watching

this review this is definitely my

favorite iphone accessory right now

especially for filming enthusiasts
