Now, DJI is introducing a non-drone version of the camera. Dubbed the Osmo, it’s a selfie stick. A very short, very steady, selfie stick. Unlike the expandable batons of most camera-holding selfie sticks, the Osmo is just six inches tall. The 12-megapixel camera costs $650, and is mounted on a three-axis gimbal. With a tap of a button it fixes on a point on the horizon, two taps and it fixes on a new point, and three taps turns the camera all the way around for a video selfie. The camera sits on top of a handle containing a battery, and it can attach to your smartphone smartphone, and turn it into a display for camera. It can also capture video in Ultra-HD 4K. Here’s some video taken by an Osmo in the American Southwest: The camera essentially provides drone-quality stable video in places where a human can move easier than a drone. Which turns out to be a lot of the places people are.
