Now in its third year, PetaPixel has gathered its team together to guess the things they just know are going to take place over the next calendar year. All of us are, as usual, ready to be very, very wrong.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 skips the smartphone as a capture device and uses an integrated camera, essentially taking the front of a DJI drone and mounting it to a control stick. It is also one of the few creator gimbals I like and love using.
DJI is following up its Osmo Action 3 from last year with the new Osmo Action 4. It promises similar performance but uses a larger sensor to deliver improved image quality.
DJI has revived the Osmo name and classic design in the new Osmo Action 3, a 4K action camera that features "extreme" battery life, support for vertical video, dual touch screens, and support for live streaming.
DJI has announced the OM 5, a smartphone-focused gimbal solution that combines aspects of its previous handheld gimbals with a telescoping extension rod to form what might be the pinnacle of selfie stick technology.
Canon has patented a handheld camera that combines a design reminiscent of the DJI Osmo (now called the OM) with its RF lenses and a rotating hinge. The flipping lens hinge is described as making it much easier to switch between forward-facing and selfie views.
In 1976, the invention of the Steadicam revolutionized filmmaking. Today, the original stabilizer of choice is being downsized a bit to create the Steadicam Volt: Steadicam's first handheld electronic smartphone stabilizer.
Time-lapse photographer Rufus Blackwell spent the last 2 months taking the DJI Osmo handheld stabilized camera around Saigon, Vietnam. The 3-minute video above is what resulted.
DJI is known for being the world's dominant drone company, but today it announced a different kind of product. Say hello to the DJI Osmo, a new handheld camera that lets you shoot 12MP photos and 4K video while being stabilized with a 3-axis brushless gimbal.
