hey everybody it's been popper from the verge out here in sunny Red Hook and I'm holding the Osmo the newest tool from DJI now we saw the Osmo demoed at CES and this is the finished product it's a handheld stabilizer DJI is probably best known as a drone company and in fact they make what's the world most popular drone the Phantom what made the Phantom so successful was that it's cheap and easy enough for a beginner but powerful enough for a professional and the Osmo is trying to hit the same mark I'm here with Michael Perry who's the head of communications at DJI so you've got these basic buttons here for still photo for record and for manipulating where the camera is moving then on the front you have the trigger which is probably the most interesting piece so this is meant to be the ultimate selfie stick I can double tap and I get my camera facing forward in fact I can even rotate the camera my the way I'm holding it and always find that forward position with a quick DoubleTap but since this is meant to be a selfie stick what I really want to do is triple tap and perfect triple tap again back to my adoring fans triple tap and duck face we have a number of features onboard through the app you can have a high degree of control over your image just by setting the shutter speed the ISO we have a mic on board so you can capture audio natively with the Osmo where we have a mic Jack on board so that you can plug in external audio sources like blobs or booms they also have some intelligent photo modes including auto panorama so you just set the panorama let's go it'll automatically start taking overlapping exposures and stitch them together into one image and that's pretty great because normally you got a spin in a circle to take a panorama like that I'm not sure that that worked what did I do wrong we're setting the price point right now but we're looking at between $5.99 and $7.99 it will be available for pre-order today and we'll start shipping in the next few weeks it shoots about 60 minutes of 4k video recording and then you're also going to be able to get about 6 hours on standby mode the great thing about the camera is that it's optimized for ground performance it's got a locking mechanism so that you can easily carry it and it's also got a focus that's set to one meter and beyond so that whereas the aerial cameras are set to infinity this is focused more towards shots on the ground and so what's the idea here why create this product who's it aimed at what do you think it does in terms of creating a new market or working with the one you already have for the drone we're not just thinking about the camera flying around we're also thinking about how it moves on the ground we've taken out the buttons we've taken out the handle taking out the LCD screen and just focus on creating a stable video experience while it's on the ground there's so many ways of capturing images now you've got your smart phone you can use your GoPro you can use action cameras whatever you like but they do a good job explaining what happened but they don't really describe the experience of what it was actually like and we feel like that's where all snow comes in its expressive it shows a lot more smooth vision that reflects how you experience the world around you you guys make stabilizers they've been popular in Hollywood for a while the Ronin is this based on the Ronin is this a related product yeah the Ronin has been focused on creating easy stabilization on the ground you set up a camera and within five minutes of tweaking and adjustments you're ready to go out and film some amazing shots the Osmo takes that same philosophy to the ground but makes it a little bit more accessible so you just put on the camera turn it on and you're ready to capture anything ah
