FORGET SELFI STICK TAKE OSMO
DJI OSMO Mobile
Now DJI is now known for its drones, which can record some stunning 4K videos. However, the DJI OSMO Mobile is a gimbal where you can fix your phone, which ensures stabilization for videos recorded from smartphones. The DJI OSMO Mobile is a bulky accessory to lug around, weighing in at 499 grams without the phone.
But overall it has a nice grip, and the build feels premium, though I did notice some scratches near the back thanks to some rough usage.
There’s a switch on front side, you can toggle to switch the gimbal on or off. There’s a trigger on the back of the device, tap thrice and it will switch from rear camera to selfie, tap twice to reboot the device. The big round button on the front can be used to maneuver the gimbal, and move up, down, left or right. There’s a button with a red button for straight up recording video.The gimbal can rotate on its three axes for you to try out something new with your phone’s camera.
So what’s good?
As I’ve said, if you’re looking to add more a professional twist to your smartphone videos, the OSMO Mobile is one way of getting there. The good thing about OSMO Mobile is that you can fit most of the premium Android phones, and yes the iPhones on this.
OnePlus 3, OnePlus 3T, Google Pixel, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7 Plus; we had no trouble fixing any of these phones onto the DJI OSMO. Fixing the phone onto the OSMO Mobile is pretty easy thanks to the knobs at the back.. I even managed to put the iPhone 6s with the case, but it really depends on the size of the smartphone case in question.
To start recording via the gimbal, you’ll be required to use the DJI Go app, and then connect the gimbal via Bluetooth. Also keep screen Rotation Lock off for shooting in landscape mode when you are using the DJI OSMO Mobile. The app connects easily to the gimbal, at least on the iPhone 6s I was using, though it has some issues, which I’ll point out later on.
Interestingly iPhone users can go live with DJIO OSMO, but Android folks can’t which is disappointing.
I liked the DJI OSMO app, even though it takes a while to get a hang of all the settings in the app. You can choose your video resolution, even zoom in on an object without touching your phone, by just using the two finger pinch on the display.
The DJI OSMO Mobile will also let you fix focus on one particular person as you record. Once you do this, the person will be in focus even as you walk around shooting the video and the gimbal will follow them around. This ActiveTrack is one of the best features of OSMO App. If you’re recording someone running or walking, or hiking, then this is a good feature to rely on.
The gimbal was used to shoot our Mannequin challenge as well, and it delivered excellent results, which shows the capabilities of this device. In my own case, I took the gimbal out for a walk and run and recorded my husband and dog while they walked ahead.
While iPhone 6s has no OIS, the videos look pretty steady. I know that on my own, the videos would be shaky; my hands are not the most stable when taking photos or videos. The gimbal fixes all of those mistakes, though if you’re running too fast, the video is not as steady. But the fact that you can move your smartphone up, down in a steady manner while recording ends up adding a lot of value to the final video.
So what’s not good?
For starters, the gimbal is heavy and you can get tired easily lugging this around. I can’t imagine myself carrying a gimbal on any vacation, no matter how exotic the location. Call me lazy, but that’s just me. So unless you love shooting videos all day with a hefty device in your hand, you need to consider this carefully.
The battery takes a while to charge, around 3-4 hours, and the levels start dipping quickly once you’ve been shooting for too long. So keep that in mind. The battery is removable though.
At one point, the motor got really hot for us as well. It crossed over 61 degrees, according to our temperature gun, which was surprising. The app also kept telling me to reboot the OSMO quite a few times, which I thought was strange. This message would only disappear after I restarted the OSMO. Another person in our team also faced this issue when he used the gimbal for recording videos at a festival.
Finally, remember you’re shooting videos in the app, and the quality will depend on your smartphone camera. So don’t expect a miracle, if your smartphone camera’s video feature isn’t that great.
Should you buy?
The OSMO is around Rs 25,000 on Amazon India, which is a lot to pay for a smartphone accessory. The price means it is for those who can afford the extra accessory. If you have a budget phone, where the video recording quality is average, this doesn’t make sense. The premium price means it will be limited to a select bunch of users.
So if you have an iPhone 6s and above or a S7 edge, and you love to travel and shoot videos, then consider getting this. DJI OSMO Mobile is strictly for the video, photography buffs, the ones who are constantly ready to go live with their phone. If you fall into this list, then go ahead and try the DJI OSMO, you won’t be disappointed.

Pup Smart Scanner:
Using a scanner is usually not the most user-friendly experience you'll ever have. Since you'll have to find your scanner, which is probably under about 5 boxes. You then have to connect it to your computer, which the drivers are probably either not installed or out of date. Then you have to put each individual document you want to scan into the device and wait about 2 minutes each. The Pup is a super simple scanner that works just like a camera, and takes just seconds to scan each item you want digitized. How it works is, you select the settings beforehand on how you'd like to scan it, and what you'd like to do with it once it's scanned, then you hold the Pup Smart Scanner above what you'd like to scan, and lasers will square off and show you exactly what you're about to scan. Then just press the button to initiate the scan, and a flash will illuminate the document, and it will scan it within seconds. Perfect for keeping your child's dr
What is Muzo?
Using Billion Sound Technology (BST), the Muzo smart acoustic device attaches to any smooth surface and generates dynamic, realistic sounds, while promising to cancel vibration and outside noise. This way, the company claims that Muzo can turn almost anything into a crystal clear acoustic environment, including windows, walls, and desks and other furniture; improve the quality of your sleep, and even help protect your speech privacy. And it promises to do all of this over three steps: Position Muzo toward the noise and reposition if needed. Gently press the large button on the surface to select your ambient noise (or, use the noise-canceling technology by itself). Rotate the button to adjust soundtrack volume. Together, the company tells us that Muzo’s noise-blocking technology can create a “personal zone creator” that can work as an alternative to sleep aids and costly sound machines. Muzo sure sounds cool, but is it worth the money? Is it even a feasible concept? W
