Founded in 2006, DJI has quickly risen to become the world's largest manufacturer of consumer drones, and has become an industry-leading brand in the field of robotics and video shooting. Three-axis electronic stabilizers and four-axis drones are highly similar in technical principle, both require gyroscopes to sense the movement state in real time and drive the motor to maintain balance. As early as 2012, DJI launched the Zenmuse series of high-precision gimbal cameras for civilian use, which are mounted on professional-grade aerial photography drones.
 
Electronic stabilizers have been developed for nearly a decade, and the mechanical properties have been roughly matured, and most products can guarantee basic stability. Compared to most products on the market, DJI stabilizers are not outstanding in terms of features, and the indicators are decent, but DJI products are known for their strong reliability and ease of use. DJI gimbal is divided into the Osmo series and the Ronin series, and the price is slightly higher than that of competitors in the same class. Osmo is designed for ease of use, making it easy for consumers with no prior knowledge of shooting, while the Ronin series is designed for professional users who use cameras or camcorders for outstanding reliability.
 
The main products of the Osmo series are the mobile phone stabilizer Osmo mobile and the handheld gimbal camera Osmo pocket. Osmo mobile2 is a mobile phone stabilizer, priced at 899 yuan, compared with the dazzling array of mobile phone stabilizer competitors on the market, Osmo mobile2 does not have many highlights in hardware, but DJI's APP experience is first-class, and software functions are very important for mobile phone stabilizer products. The Osmo gimbal and its drone products use the DJI GO app, which provides a one-stop service for video shooting, control, editing, and sharing. Put the mobile phone on the gimbal and open the APP, and you can control the gimbal for motion tracking, automatic panoramic shooting, time-lapse photography and other functions.
 
Although motion tracking is not unusual, many gimbal brands claim to have face recognition, object tracking functions, but the actual experience often appears that the target is lost, unable to identify the problem, resulting in the function can only be used for demonstration, it is difficult to use in actual shooting, better than nothing. However, DJI is unbeatable in terms of reliability, with sensitive recognition and tracking, and for bloggers who love to shoot vlog videos, the gimbal can always focus the lens on the person's face, and the yield will be greatly improved. Most of the features offered by DJI are highly usable, so if you want to buy a hassle-free mobile stabilizer, the Osmo mobile2 is the ideal choice and the best-selling mobile stabilizer on the market.
 
DJI has long laid out imaging equipment, and the cameras carried on its drone products are all independently developed and manufactured by DJI, among which the "Zenmuse" series cameras even have exclusive mounts and lenses, which have a pivotal position in the field of video recording, and in 2017, it controlled Hasselblad, a manufacturer of medium-format cameras. DJI has integrated the camera and gimbal into a gimbal camera, which is unique to DJI. The gimbal and the camera are precisely adapted, the volume and weight are greatly reduced, and the cumbersome operation steps such as installation, leveling, and opening the APP are eliminated. However, the gimbal camera products released by DJI in the past, such as Zenmuse, Osmo, and Osmo PRO, focused on professional video recording, and the price exceeded 10,000 yuan, which did not detonate the ordinary consumer market.
 
At the end of 2018, DJI released the Osmo pocket, a consumer-grade handheld gimbal camera, which made headlines in the global digital sector with its unique product form and relatively affordable price. The Osmo pocket is only the size of a hot dog, you can shoot it when you take it out of your pocket, and it has the ability to record 4K-60P, which is not inferior to GoPro, and the price is 2499 yuan. The Osmo pocket mini has a touchscreen that allows you to see the frame when taking selfies, which is a huge advantage over the GoPro. Tap on an object or face on the screen to automatically track it, and you can automatically take 9 images from different angles to combine them into a panoramic image. It's a bit of a shame that the 28mm-equivalent lens angle of view makes it easy to shoot faces wide in selfies, but overall, the Osmo pocket is a new product with no competitors and a high level of completion, which greatly lowers the bar for video shooting, and photographers may use this device to shoot without professional cameras and bulky stabilizers in the future.
 
The Ronin series is a professional-grade camera stabilizer with a wide range of extensions. Among them, the 4399 yuan Ronin S is the most popular professional-grade camera stabilizer at the moment, while the price starts at 8699 yuan Ronin MX and the price starts at 32999 yuan Ronin 2 is suitable for large cameras, with the general stabilization effect of slide rails, but the weight is very large, the control difficulty is high, and it is only suitable for professional photography teams.
 
The Ronin S is the benchmark of the 2018 camera gimbal, with a load of 3.6kg, even a combination of a Canon 5D4 and a telephoto lens can be easily lifted, and the workmanship is solid and reliable, but the weight is as high as 1850g, and it will be very tiring to hold it for a long time, so it is recommended to buy a dual-hand grip. The Ronin S has a focus dial, but at present, it only has perfect support for Panasonic's video cameras, and other brands of cameras need to connect an external servo focus to the lens to complete the focusing. Compared with the competing Zhiyun Yunhe 2, the Ronin S three-axis unlimited position, you can switch the high and low camera positions at will for shooting, and there will be no situation where the camera can't turn, and the roll axis adopts an oblique design, which will not block the screen.
