Today, China-based drone maker DJI has revealed that it will be launching a new product on 13th August at an event named “Transform Your World”, but the company has not clarified which product it is. However, many believe that DJI is gearing up to launch Osmo Mobile 3 at this event.
Earlier, the grip handle, as well as the whole product, i.e. the upcoming Osmo Mobile 3, was leaked online. Reports indicate that the device will come with support for Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy (LE) as well as USB Type-C port. But apart from that nothing much is known about this upcoming product. It’s still unclear what new functionality we can expect from the DJI Osmo Mobile 3.
The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 stabilizer packs a 2,600mAh battery (18650 LiPo) that is claimed to provide 15 hours of usage on a single charge. This was a significant upgrade to the original which used replaceable 1,225mAh batteries that lasted about 4.5 hours.
Compared to the original model, the second-generation model was also lighter at 485 grams, thanks to the switch to “high-performance nylon” from the nylon and magnesium alloy of the original.
It comes with a wide range of features, including from timelapse, to motion lapse, hyper-lapse, slow-mo (still only iOS), and also active tracking and live broadcasting. The company had also introduced a zoom slider to the left of the stabilizer to make zooming easy.
The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 was launched for $129.95, which is less than half the price of its predecessor. Thus, it’s hard to imagine if DJI slashes down the pricing of the upcoming Osmo Mobile 3 even further.
