- Hey guys, what is going on in this video?
We're talking about the DJI OSMO Mobile 2.
(techno music)
To really understand this gimbal,
I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna go exploring.
I'm gonna go see where the day takes me.
This is a pretty awesome gimbal.
The difference with the DJI and just from playing
with it for the last few days.
Is that the software is so much better
than other gimbals that I've worked with.
The actual software that DJI has put out has things like
active track, it has these time lapse features.
It's got all this really cool stuff
that allows you to get better footage.
The rest of this video is gonna be shot on my phone
on the DJI Osmo Mobile 2.
Before I go out and start exploring,
I wanna take you through some of the features of this
gimbal and really show you what things you have
at your disposal when you're shooting with DJI software.
Alright one of the cool things, see this base on here?
So this comes off and it's just a base that's
like a nice little tripod.
Which means you can kinda put this anywhere,
set it down and it just. (metal clanking)
I mean that's cool.
But the best thing about this you take this part off
and now you can hook it to like your tripod.
(speaker static)
Alright, so now we're switched to the phone
right now the exposures not what I wanted.
But I just wanna run through the screen
so you could see all this going on.
So you could switch from photo to video.
You have like your battery of your gimbal.
You have your home screen, camera settings.
You have your gimbal, some gimbal settings.
More just settings.
Down here is your active track.
So now if I move, it's gonna follow me.
How wild is that?
You can flip the camera,
you can see Rachel's desk over there.
So in the setting you click it.
You have your slow motion (clap)
right there, boom, now you're ready to shoot slow motion.
Also you have your time lapse, your hyper lapse,
and your motion time lapse.
The motion time lapse is one of the coolest.
So you can take like a photo and then take another photo
and then set your timing,
so were gonna do .530 seconds were gonna start that.
It's gonna go back to the original
and then from here its gonna take a photo
every half a second for 30 seconds
and then what its gonna do is stitch it together
to make a time lapse.
And that's probably one of the features that I really
like about this camera and about this whole set up.
Is you can do these easy motion time lapses
and you get some really cool footage.
And then in your camera settings
you go to your resolution,
you've got some beauty effects. Lets beautify me.
Cool, so we got some effects there.
We go back to photos, do single long exposure
you can do timed exposures.
Let's flip the camera
You can do panoramics which will allow you to do
some cool like panoramic shots.
That's kind of the set up
and what I'm saying is this software is different
than other gimbals cuz a lot of times you'll get
a gimbal and it literally is just turn on and go.
The difference is DJI has incorporated this software
which makes it really cool and gives you a lot of options
and gives you all these time lapses and slow motion
and all this stuff just in the app itself.
And you don't have to deal with other apps.
Alright, lets go outside lets go explore start the day.
(techno music)
♪ Yeah, yeah ♪
Alright so now I am outside
gonna do a little exploring today.
Go around Santa Monica I don't know,
go see how this gimbal works with the phone.
I didn't bring any other camera.
Except for my Mavic Air because I always bring
my Mavic Air no matter where I go.
But first things first I'm actually gonna walk over
to my buddy's house and deliver another Mavic Air.
One thing I have to say though about
carrying this Osmo Mobile 2
it's crazy how light it is.
So whenever I'm using a gimbal
they're usually so heavy.
And the fact that this thing lasts 15 hours
and its, you know, super light.
It just feels like I'm holding the phone.
I got some plans I got some places I wanna go.
Some people to see some things to do.
There's gonna be scooters involved.
And ya know all that good stuff (laughing)
♪ You just make me fly ♪
- Ah look at that, Jev hookin me up.
- Alright so check this out.

- We gotta go to the beach.
Mike what do you wanna do?
- Dude I wanna ride scooters I wanna hang out.
- We are going down to the pier
we're gonna go find some Birds.
And a Bird is basically a scooter
that you just unlock with your phone.
And then from there just take it,
go anywhere and then drop it off anywhere.
There just like a cool thing here in Santa Monica.

♪ Yeah ♪
(techno music)
- Alright so I'm wearing a helmet because
I gotta ticket for not wearing a helmet
last time I rode one of these.
Which is kind of crazy. (techno music)
One of the coolest features about the software itself
is this whole tracking thing.
You don't have to necessarily watch it,
it always keeps it center.
Which is incredible!
There's so many times where I could imagine
I just wanna hold this out,
and make sure my subjects is always centered.

♪ Yeah ♪
♪ You just make me fly ♪

So my phones about to die,
obviously this thing is still at 90% which is ridiculous.
But my phone is about to die,
and you plug it in on the back
you turn this on, not the gimbal on,
you just turn this thing on.
And it charges your phone.
So we're gonna let this charge for a little bit.
Alright let's keep riding and once this is charged up
we will shoot some more.

Alright guys that was a fun day.
The Osmo still has like 30% battery.
I mean it's a cool piece of equipment to use.
I personally really like gimbals,
because I think gimbals give you the ability to
enhance your footage make it more cinematic,
do some really cool stuff keep it really smooth.
And having a good gimbal really makes it easier.
So something I tell people all the time
when it comes to film making is that
the tools don't define the actual creation process.
You can still make a very cool cinematic video
with any equipment but it comes down to
knowing how to use the equipment.
However, when it comes to gear if you have gear
that works better then it just
makes your life so much easier.
I know there's a ton of gimbals out there,
there's lots of options but having a piece of equipment
that works for what you need is the most important part.
My biggest thing when I'm out shooting is that
I want gear that is simple gear that works.
Gear that doesn't take a long time to set up.
And the DJI Osmo Mobile 2 is definitely one of those
pieces of gear that I'm just gonna have with me.
This thing is like super light,
I could just throw it somewhere in my bag.
And whenever I need a cool shot with a gimbal
I just pull it out and I use it.
Cuz I always have my phone on me.
Your phone is a very good camera and it's a very good tool
to get cinematic footage.
So having your phone and this gimbal just on you
at all times it gives you options
to have cool slick moves wherever you're going.
If you're gonna have a gimbal that takes time to set up,
its heavier or like it's just kind of not very good,
then you're probably not gonna use it.
And that's the thing like tools allow you
to get awesome cinematic footage.
If you have good tools then its easier to keep
that gear on you because you want to have it.
It's not like something that you need,
you don't need this huge piece of gear
to get smooth shots anymore.
You can have a lightweight thing like this,
and you get those awesome gimbal shots.
Alright guys so the DJI Osmo Mobile 2,
I think is an awesome piece of gear.
It's something I would definitely recommend myself.
It just makes a lot of sense,
and I think DJI has a winner here with this product.
Alright guys if you want to learn more
about how to get cinematic footage.
Make sure you hit that subscribe button.
I've got a lot of videos on this channel
about film making and how to get cinematic footage.
Because at the end of the day
it doesn't matter if you have the best tools in the world.
If you don't know how to use them properly,
then you're not gonna get good footage.
