hey it's been popper with The Verge I'm hanging out in China with the new DJI Osmo mobile so this is the newest version of DG eyes handheld stabilizer and as you can see what makes it interesting is it's not using DG eyes proprietary drone camera it's using whatever smartphone you have so you know did GI it made the Osmo it cost about five or six hundred bucks and the only camera used was the one that you get on the DJI phantom 4 drone now obviously a lot of vloggers picked up the Osmo and found it to be a really useful tool but what they're hoping to do is livestream to Facebook and snapchat on YouTube so now they can use their own phone they can use their own apps but still have the Osmo stabilization technology with the Osmo mobile you connect using bluetooth which means your Wi-Fi is free that's really important if you're a live streamer looking to get something up on Facebook or YouTube so another important change with the Osmo mobile is that the jack that used to be for an external microphone is now accessible for powering up the Osmo that's really great if you're out shooting in the field is much easier to plug into a mobile power source and shoot all day so this one will cost a lot less since it comes with no camera about 200 bucks but it does have another really interesting and powerful feature it has the computer vision and autonomous tracking that's built into the DJI phantom 4 drone so I can draw a box around a subject say a race car or around my own face and then the camera will do the job of tracking for me I can walk around I can look at something else and we'll make sure to always keep me in frame okay so this is me vlogging Shenzhen using the new DJI Osmo mobile what's really incredible about this is that I can turn on face tracking and it's now got me identified and so I can stop looking at the camera I can just wander around and talk about Shenzhen and look in the air even though I'm not paying any attention to the camera I can move it from my right hand to my left it's always going to keep me in frame because it knows exactly what my face looks like and it's locked on to that as a subject so the DJI Osmo mobile is meant to work with any standard smartphone I have my iPhone 6 in here but this little back part here can open and unscrew and you can go all the way up to the largest Samsung phones and obviously this being a tool that they want you to use with your own phone and apps like snapchat it does have portrait mode so this has been been Popper with the Burj here in Shenzhen China checking out the DJI Osmo mobile it's a new handheld stabilizer that works with any phone should be around $200 and come out in the next month and on top of making it possible to use your phone with the Osmo it now adds some advanced computer vision and automatic tracking which is pretty cool
