good morning hope you're doing well in this Saturday and if you're like me and
you shoot a lot with the Osmo action you're gonna need this item that I have
in here in case you saw the title already you know what it is
the Osmo action charging kit or charging hub whatever you want to call it and the
reason you're gonna need this is it saves you a lot of time hassle you never
run out of battery life basically when you're shooting because you're gonna
have three batteries the one that was included with the Osmo action plus the
two batteries and the charging hub or charging kit so let's open it up
actually before we open it up I just wanted to show you this front sticker is
kind of fun
all right this is a pleasant surprise actually forgot that I ordered
lens cap as well a lens filter cap for the front of the Osmo action so it's
kind of like Christmas get a little extra bonus there she's my short-term
memory but uh when you unscrew this lens cap right here you can put on another
one as well so if you damage the lens for whatever reason you're like on your
bike and it crashes or you're doing some action sport or you just drop it and if
you damage the front lens it's nice to know that you can replace it this was
fifteen dollars I think it's also a good purchase not necessary but for me it's
worth the peace of mind that's why I got it for $15 if I'm away on a trip which
I'm going away in a few weeks this is definitely worth having let's get into
the Osmo action charging kit the main thing so this is kind of
self-explanatory also I'll show you a picture of it up front right here but
other than that it's just a lens filter caps nothing special about it by the way
for the people who watched yesterday's video I am borrowing this camera from a
friend so that's the good news life does get better today is a new day
and if we can open this thing they make these these packages so tight sometimes
they're really tough to open so you want to open it but you don't want to damage
the lens okay so opening this up is really
difficult thank God they got a little piece of plastic over the lens on the
front so what that you may want to do is store this in a plastic bag a ziploc bag
or a safe location because you don't want to damage the front so or you can
leave it in the packaging although it's really pain to get out but just make
sure you keep this protected as your backup lens now to me this is really the
most essential accessory you need for the optimal action because not having
battery light is really a deal breaker and can ruin your whole shoot comes with
these two batteries it comes with a little manual which is kind of crazy
it's all these different languages like 70 pages got the charging hub right here
and then we also have the I don't know this was for storage or
what but it's an empty box so so the charging hub and was a charging kit
you're gonna need the charger the little cable you got from the Osmo action when
you first bought it so it doesn't come with a separate cable which is a little
bit annoying but it's okay because I already have it so that's cool
it comes with these batteries of course and in here you can put a micro SD card
so that's really nice having the ability to put a micro SD card inside the little
holder right here so you have the two batteries you can just put them in to
the charger like this and you can take off the third battery as well nice thing
is DJI says this takes about an hour and thirty minutes to charge and I'll leave
the a number I got right here for charging these so don't waste your time
to me having something this small and portable and the ability to charge
really fast is definitely vital for my workflow for my life for being a
filmmaker content creator I really don't have time to wait several hours to
charge things because often I'm charging so many different batteries having this
is definitely a lifesaver and having three batteries I was only using one so
I really have to be conservative with my shooting now I can shoot without
worrying each battery gets over an hour of battery life so you have about I'd
say three and a half hours maybe maybe even four hours of battery life with
these guys so you got plenty of shooting time now if you needed an extra battery
you always could get an extra battery and one thing with the lens cap if you
do get the lens cap I will say make sure you screw it in tight enough because if
you don't have this in tight enough water can get in and then you run into
all sorts of problems so make sure you have that on tight so it doesn't ruin
your image and you don't ruin the elements of your lens and so forth so
now one last thing the GoPro also has its own charging hub right here okay
think about this GoPro charging hub is it only charges two batteries so the
Osmo action charges three batteries which is a nice thing
obviously with new technology everything improved so I would imagine the next
GoPro would have three battery charger as well and this thing charge is pretty
fast about this one I would say an hour and a half maybe I'm not I'm not sure
exactly but it definitely cuts down the time in charging maybe maybe less than
that even I hope you enjoyed the video I'll put links to all these guys down
below that's all I got for today I appreciate you guys watching I'm
