Introduction

The Osmo is a 3-axis handheld gimbal and camera that can capture 12MP still photos and

4K video with onboard or external sound recording. Its light and ergonomic design with

buttons at your ngertips form a powerful and personal one-handed lming device. The DJI

GO app complements the Osmo with shooting modes such as timelapse, auto panorama,

long exposure and slow motion

Equipped with 3-axis stabilization and SmoothTrack technology, the gimbal compensates for

natural arm movements and smooths out transitions. Finer operations can be done with the

joystick, while instant positioning of the camera can be made directly with your other hand.

The camera tilts across a 170 degree range and has a pan rotation of 640 degrees.

The DJI Rosette Mount on the side of the handle allows your mobile device to be mounted as

a live HD viewnder, and supports external devices including vehicle mounts and tripods for

specialized lming applications.
