Xiaomi announces three-axis mobile video stabiliser to take on DJI’s Osmo mobile
Xiaomi's new accessory is aimed at mobile users exploring options to shoot professional quality videos with their smartphones
Xiaomi's latest addition to its accessories line-up under the MIJIA crowdfunding project is a new 3-axis mobile video stabiliser. The new gimbal competes with DJI's widely acclaimed Osmo mobile and is priced at 799 Yuan (approximately Rs 8,000).
Xiaomi's 3-axis video stabiliser uses high-precision acceleration sensors to detect the real-time movement of a smartphone. The handheld device offers four different shooting models namely horizontal movement, omni-directional movement, locking direction and vertical mode. The brushless motor can rotate the device from 9-degrees to 30-degrees for a 207-degree rotation. The device is aimed at mobile users exploring options to shoot professional-quality videos with improved stabilisation.
Xiaomi is also advertising its new 3-axis stabiliser as a selfie stick that can be mounted onto a tripod. The handheld video stabiliser is backed by a 1050mAh battery, which Xiaomi claims will last for four hours of video recording. Xiaomi's 3-axis handheld stabiliser measures 266 x 53 x 43 mm in dimensions and weighs around 450 grams. The device seems limited to China and Xiaomi has not yet announced any plans to launch it elsewhere. The new 3-axis handheld stabiliser is available for purchase from Xiaomi's Mi Home crowdfunding platform.
