- Oh.
We appear to have a mind of its own.
(relaxing music)
This has been an amazing week.
So many cool things have been happening
and this also just became part of my life.
I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking, "Aron, didn't you do
"a video on this already?"
And the answer is yes, I did do a video on this,
but this, for whatever reason stopped working
and I couldn't get it to gimbal no more,
and I just, I gave up is what I did,
is I gave up trying to get it to work.
I'm gonna send it back to DJI
and I'm gonna let them figure it out.
In the meantime, I had to get another one,
because I have a place in my life for this technology
and I came across the Osmo Mobile 2.
Exact same one as that, but this is the second one,
not the first one, the second,
so I'm excited to see the difference.
Where has the technology increased?
Where has DJI improved?
That's what I wanna know.
And I'm gonna answer the same question
I always answer, do you need this?
Who needs this?
And why do you need it?
Dangerous unboxing knife.
This retails at the Apple store for 199 bucks.
Sorry, 129.95.
Let's go ahead and just use our super safe
little knife and get into this guy.
(plastic crunches)
As you know, I'm an unboxing pro at this point.
Here is the package, pretty simple,
pretty sleek, nothing really too exciting.
Beautiful image right there.
It's basically saying, hey, you see this?
You're gonna have fun.
That's what that means.
You're going to have fun.
This is fun.
Without it, your life is not going to be fun.
Alright, back to the super safe unboxing knife.
Seal has been broke.
Manual, we need that.
Huh, guys this, this is a total step up.
DJI, you're doing it right here, buddy.
Look at this.
This is, this is what we got last time.
A plastic (mumbles) type of ballisticky case.
Not very protective.
It's probably why my stuff broke,
'cause it was in a stupid bag.
Okay, so, they are staying true
with their whole drone look and feel,
so here in the bag, we have our gel silicone, don't need it.
We have a nice, nice case, Osmo Mobile.
We have a USB.
Micro charger, I'm not excited about that.
We have our little gimbal for us to be gimbaling.
Right, and at the bottom here,
it has the connector, so if you need
to put on a tripod or an extender.
This is obviously for charging right here.
So there's our charging port.
We've got a couple buttons, manual,
this is probably little directional button
and over here we have camera button,
record and we have zoom in, zoom out.
It is basically everything that you need.
Same thing from the other one.
It's the complete package in one little guy.
Obviously, if I'm going out and about
and I'm doing video and I'm on my phone,
this is my new go-to.
If I'm with my camera, I've got my Ronin.
Either way, DJI is cornering the market.
They are like, we are coming for you,
and you're gonna use our products no matter what.
Let's see if we have any juice in here.
First and foremost, let's find my most favorite thing
of anything I buy, which is my quick start guide.
Here it is.
As you guys can see, I love my quick start guide.
It's going through telling us everything.
We already know what's in the box.
Installing a DJI Go app.
What we're gonna do is we are going to
use this on the iPhone X.
This is the device that I found via my previous experience
works the best with this device, is the iPhone.
Let me go ahead and see about connecting it.
Guys, it appears out of the box,
this thing is not charged at all.
We're gonna come over here,
I think we got some juice left here,
and we are going to plug this in
and see about getting her charged up.
There's absolutely no juice in here whatsoever
so we are going to cut the camera, let it charge
for a little bit, and then come back
and do a little demonstration for you.
- [Narrator] Approximately 10 hours later.
- Here we are, back again, just finished
getting it nice and charged up.
I actually let it charge overnight,
so we're starting the video over today.
As it describes in the instructions,
quick start guide, you have to download the app,
which we did, and now I'm gonna come over here
and go to the DJI Go app.
I'm gonna come over here and I'm gonna select
the Osmo Mobile 2, there it is.
We're gonna hit connect.
Gonna come over here, we gotta have this guy turned on.
This appears to be the power button,
so we hold that and I think it's all nice and charged up.
Here it is, it's on, it's activated,
we've got our green lights to indicate.
We hit our little refresh and the device
comes up right away, you see that?
It comes up immediately, and we're gonna hit connect.
Easy peasy Bluetooth pairing request.
Of course we're going to pair.
What else would we do?
Activate your Osmo Mobile?
Okay, here we go, authorizing, activating.
Activating.
Still activating.
(mumbles)
Not.
Not lying, it's activating.
- [Narrator] A few moments later.
- Oh. (thuds)
Oh.
We appear to have a mind of its own.
Successfully activated.
We are smarter than the device.
You put your phone in here,
and it kinda comes apart, you see that?
Nice, good spring edge, nice and snug.
We're gonna put the phone in here.
You have to be careful not to push on your buttons.
Be very careful and it fits in there perfect.
(laughs)
Here it is.
This tutorial will teach me about my Osmo Mobile 2.
We're taking the tutorial.
- [Narrator] A few minutes later.
- Okay guys, I want to showcase this for you.
I'm gonna leave it here.
You pick your face, you select your face.
As you can see, it's on the table.
It might get a little wildly, it might fall over.
Let's hope I don't break it,
but as I move this way, it's tracking my face.
It's watching my every movement.
Do you guys see this?
Do you see what's happening?
I'm afraid if I go too quick, I'm gonna knock it over,
but it's, it knows where my face is.
It's following my face all the way to the table.
Obviously, if you want it to not fall over,
you put it on a tripod,
'cause I'm living on the edge right now.
But this, this is insane.
I'm recording at the gimbal,
and I'm like, it's tracking my face.
This is what it does, guys.
And look, it goes all the way up here.
Oh, you can see my fan, you can see my clips,
you can see everything.
I bought this to give it to Gabe,
but I'm like, do I need this?
Do I need one in the studio full time?
What content creator doesn't need this?
This thing is phenomenal.
It's like, okay, so you can see,
can you see, you can see it in this view here,
how this does, how it's moving mechanically
and nice and fluently.
Oh, you can, you can see my sound, my sound.
I feel so dirty right now, you can see my soundproof for me,
squares, and you can see my clips.
I feel like a bad YouTuber.
It selects a part of your face.
I have it selected on my mouth.
And it just keeps following wherever my mouth goes
because that's obviously the good focal point.
Alright guys, you need this!
I don't know who doesn't need this.
If you take videos, if you do selfies,
if you're at a party, if you're walking down the street
and you wanna be like, blah blah blah,
blah blah blah blah, you need this to go blah blah blah.
I'm telling you.
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
They're not paying me to tell you this,
but this is a cool device.
What was it, 130 bucks?
If you got a 130 bucks and you're like,
what cool device am I gonna add to my studio,
to my gear, this is the guy.
This guy over here, the Ronin, super expensive.
DJI makes solid products.
This guy is totally affordable.
It can go in your gearbox, it can go in your book bag,
you can take it on vacation.
It's phenomenal.
Guys, you're gonna love this.
I'm gonna love it.
I'm gonna do cool stuff with it
and I'm gonna let you know when I do cool stuff with it.
