DJI Osmo Fully Stabilized 3-axis Gimball and 12MP 4K Handheld Camera - Free Flexi Mic worth £15

4K camera and gimbalNo longer do you need to worry about blur, shake or shots that are suddenly ruined by a knock at an event or outdoor location, as the DJI Osmo is not only a 4K camera, but a gimbal all in one. DJI’s technology advancements have provided a way to record videos and take photos that are smooth and keep the camera flat at all time.

Without having to worry about attaching another camera or lumbering around a huge gimbal, the DJI Osmo is ideal for taking on adventures or action environments. The 4K camera captures a great image, letting you make everything as cinematic or just plain smooth if you’re into vlogging.

Amazing TechniquesWith its gimbal, the Osmo is perfect for taking panorama photos, giving you that stable shot that it demands and that hands just can’t provide properly. You’ll also be able to position the gimbal in a position to keep it still and take amazing timelapses without the need to invest in a tripod either. You’ll also be able to move and take advantage the smoothness, allowing you to get a hyperlapse too.

Easy Access The Osmo comes with all the buttons and knobs you’ll need, right at where your thumb rests. A small knob moves the camera around and a record and photo button are situated around it, giving you easy access.

In addition, the Osmo allows for special attachments (sold separately) to be added, to allow the Osmo handle to become even more of a powerhouse, but attaching the Zenmuse X5 through the X5 adapter. Included is the phone grip, giving you a viewfinder through DJI’s app.

We love the Osmo here at Scan Pro Video, as it gives everyone the opportunity to take stunning panoramas and because we’re huge fans of 360-degree video, this is right up our alley. The small sensor on the Osmo means that in darker spaces, you won’t get the best out of the camera.

That’s why we recommend the Lume Cube and Lume Cube’s Smartphone Mount, which comes with a clip to attach to the smartphone you could use as a viewfinder. This will give you that burst of light that you need to get the best out of the DJI Osmo indoors, just as it does outdoors. It also comes with a grip, so that you can move the light independently of the gimbal, giving you unique lighting wherever you go, thanks to the small size of the Lume Cube.

When it comes to editing, you need something fast and not just blazing fast, but Thunderbolt 3's 40Gbps fast. Transfer whole 4K filming sessions over in minutes rather than hours with the LaCie 2big Dock, which has a huge amount of storage, charges your devices and will take those SD Cards directly, leaving slots and USB ports free from dongles. The best thing about this, is that you can plug in our third recommendation, the Copilot Boss, directly into it too. The Copilot Boss is the best companion for those out and about, as it’ll transfer and keep the footage you record safe and sound in its rugged design. All that and you won’t need a laptop whatsoever.
