DJI’s Fully Integrated, Stabilized Handheld 4K Camera Now Available at Rs 70K Across India

DJI, the world leader in creative imaging technology, today officially unveiled the DJI Osmo. Using DJI’s signature three-axis gimbal stabilization technology, the Osmo eliminates the shake of traditional handheld devices, creating cinematic shots in an easy-to-use, easy-to-set up form factor.   

Marking its entry into the handheld camera market, the Osmo will be available through retailers in 10 key cities such as Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai, and also available to customers via direct shipping anywhere in India through DJI’s authorized distributor, SSTPL.

“DJI consistently refines the way cameras move in space – whether they are in the air or on the ground,” said Michael Perry, DJI’s Director of Strategic Partnerships at the Mumbai launch event. "With the Osmo, we have created a camera specifically designed to capture a smooth moving image regardless of filming conditions.”

The modular format of the Osmo makes it fully compatible with DJI’s Zenmuse camera series, but comes standard with a 4K, 12-megapixel camera with a 1/2.3” sensor and a 94° field-of-view lens. Intelligent controls built into the handle make changing between shooting angles, capturing photos or recording video effortless.

“Traditional handheld cameras are either shaky, or require bulky stabilizers that are difficult to set up,” Perry continued. “The Osmo moves the experience of handheld filmmaking from capturing what happened, to sharing expressive, smooth video that shows what an experience was like.”

Through the DJI GO mobile app, creators can view live images of what the camera captures, adjust camera settings and control smart filming functions including –

Panorama – Take a picture and the camera will automatically pan around 360°, taking and stitching overlapping photos to create a panorama.

Long Exposure – Make handheld long-exposures crisp using the camera’s stabilization technology

Slow Motion – Capture slow motion shots at 120 frames-per-second (fps) up to 1080p

Its onboard universal mount works together with an included smartphone holder in addition to other optional accessories including a tripod, a bike mount or an extension arm.

The Osmo handle comes equipped with an on-board stereo microphone, as well as a 3.5mm audio jack for recording professional-quality external sound.

The Osmo handle, which can be bought separately without a camera, is fully compatible with DJI’s existing Zenmuse series, making it the perfect accessory for everyone who already owns an Inspire 1 with a Zenmuse X3, a Zenmuse X5 Pro or a Zenmuse X5 Raw.

The Osmo is now available across India for Rs 69,990 (MRP) through DJI distributors and retail outlets.
