The Osmo Mobile 2 is a handheld smartphone gimbal made for
the storyteller in all of us. Whatever your passion, wherever
your destination, and whenever you feel inspired, capture
moments with cinematic movement and incredible ease. Using
a lightweight design, intelligent functions, and a long-lasting
battery, the Osmo Mobile 2 lets you share your story.
So lets start with the PROs
The new zoom control feature through the use of a slider looks cool and could be a handy way to quickly zoom into your shot
Still available are the cool features we’ve become accustomed to such as Timelapse, Motionlapse, Hyperlapse and Slow Mo
The overall weight of the over Osmo Mobile 2 is 485 g compared to the 501 for the original so lighter is better
Battery life has been increased to a massive 15 hours! batteries are no longer removable and charging now takes place via a micro usb as opposed to the headphone jack with the original. now also capable of charging your phone as well as powering via a power bank.
The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 now has a better footprint when folded meaning it will take up less space when not in use as it folds better
The portrait orientation can now be achieved without having to turn the handle sideways and is now a simple matter of flipping the phone instead of the handle.
It also now features a 1/4 inch tripod mount on the base which you can now use to attach a mini tripod or the osmo tripod.
At $129, It is cheaper than the original , which is now $199 already reduced from its normal price of $299
Availability from 10 march 2018

CONS

Gone is the Rosette mount meaning you wont be able to use any of the original DJI Osmo Mobile accessories such as the straight arm extension, universal arm to attach accessories like LED lights, Microphones etc.
Battery is not interchangeable, so when it runs out thats that . you’d need to change the whole unit.
Handle not detachable so M1 not possible to use
No more trigger to press and hold and lock the gimbal. instead you now need to toggle the Mode or M button to switch between locked modes and follow modes. Also means the triple tap to switch cameras also takes a different route to achieve this.
