Fake Crane Shot Using the Osmo

Here's a great shot done with the Osmo extension arm. It looks like it's done with a large crane. It's a dramatic shot and these guys did it just after taking the Osmo out of the box.

Cheap Tripod Mount for Osmo

The Osmo will not screw onto your tripod. You need an adapter. Most people buy the Osmo extension arm which will attach to a tripod, but many users want a cheaper alternative. Here are a few:


This first solution uses the Sony VCT-AMK1 Arm Kit. You can't attach the phone mount if using this, but the camera is on a tripod so you can hold the phone in your hands. For about $15, you can't go wrong.

Using the DJI Osmo for Real Estate Videos - Sample Videos

How do you sell a house that hasn't been seen? Give the potential buyer the feeling of being there. There's no better way to do that than by doing a walk through with a camera on a three axis gimbal. The viewer is transported into the house with and given a smooth omniscient presence in the house that's for sale.


The music really enhances the video and gives it a feeling of energy. The house is obviously "staged" and helps you imagine yourself in those rooms and enjoying the space.

The tour below combines footage from the DJI Osmo with drone footage using the DJI Inspire Pro. The results are spectacular. I love the shots that push forward through doorways to reveal the rooms.
