I do not really like this stupid idea of DJI to connect a smartphone directly to the Osmo Pocket. Too sensitive are these connections, so I was looking for a more stable way to be able to carry these two devices on one hand. Here is my current, and very special variant for left-handers. Everything was put together from parts available on the market for Photo and Osmo Pocket:

Actually, it is already usable, and not too heavy to wear. But I would be very happy if you showed me how you have solved this or a similar problem.

Maybe later I design something universal in 3D for this purpose so that anyone interested can print it out. A printed plastic holder would be so much easier to carry than the version shown here by me.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing something from you :)
 
Oh, I appreciate your opinion very much, thank you :)

Everything comes from Amazon Germany. I am pretty sure that everything is available globally. So good luck with the search...
Here are all components in case someone wants to build it:

Based on the pictures you should be able to find everything easily I think, otherwise maybe a translation software / app can help :)

But dear friends of D.O.P., please show me how you use it :)))

I think it's really great that not only do you come up with a great invention but you also supply members with the items needed to build it themselves. Yes you could sell a lot of them, but you decided to allow people to buy ithe parts and assemble it for themselves.

Bravo!

Oh Rob, I really have a lot of great ideas, this is just a tiny nuance of it...

I love to optimize existing things according to my ideas, at least to try.

But I'm just a poor jerk with no ability and courage to make something big out of it. I'm just not a businessman. So I give away many of my ideas.

I think that's called like: "Robin Hood Complex", a very destructive disease :))

Its not all about the money. Robin Hood is a good role model to follow.

If you are Robin Hood, I am Friar Tuck!
 
Had this exact mount delivered today, what a superb little idea from Skyreat

Jeah fozzzy, cool and sturdy thing, very good for using with photo accessories. But it is a bit tricky to put the DOP in this holder, you always need two hands for it :)

Tbh I fitted a wrap to it last week, it looks like sh** but it slides in quite easily. I purely wanted it for hand holding with my Rode vidmic micro attatched....... if they ever release the adapter ;)

This is a pretty good option:
DJI Osmo Pocket snuggly fitting Phone and Tripod Mount by Naiki

Printed one for a friend and his iPhone, works fine.
I had not even looked at Thingiverse, but I suspected that designs already exist for the DOP :)

The design looks good, but at the moment seems only suitable for smartphones with USB TypeC and Lightning.

DJI Mimo runs very well on my old Samsung Galaxy S7edge with Micro USB, so I wanted a universal solution that is suitable for almost any smartphone.

However, Tingiverse and Youmagine are excellent sources of inspiration and problem solving.

Which 3D printer do you use?

Please show how you did it ... It's not about winning a beauty award :)
 
I have a Robo R2.
Oh, looks like a very advanced 3D printer. I have been using an Ultimaker 2 since about 2013, which I have gradually modified ...

Here is another way to safely carry the DOP and a smartphone with one hand.

20190305_225152-1.jpeg

This version is very stable and tiltable / fixable, suitable for right and left handers to wear comfortably, and to use either wireless or with cable.

All links to the required parts can be found in Post #4. If you can not see from the pictures which parts are required, then just ask :)
 
Why to make it so complex? I took sketchup and printed a very very simple holder o´fo OSMO pocket joint with Sammsung A5 2016. No screws, just connect and move it in the holes.
Light weight and portable. Makes solid connection, all buttons reachable. btw. Samsung has Micro USB so there is a USB-C and Micro USB adapter between the Mobile and the standard OSMO USB-C.

I can provide the .slt file for 3D printer on request.

Thanks for your answer ...
I also love to keep things simple.
Your printed holder looks really good :) I'm sure it's a good solution for you and people with a smartphone of similar design.

I can also construct and print in 3D...

But it is the reason of this thread to find out how other DOP users have solved their specific problems, at least that was my wish. So it's really nice to see how you did it :)

My examples are basically not complicated, and very universal, so really easy to replicate, they are for those who have no ambitions regarding 3D printing.

These examples are for people who already own photo accessories, and maybe just need to buy a few extra parts. Everything consists of standard photo accessories, only the DOP holders shown in both examples are special.

In my examples almost every smartphone and every type of connection can be used. In addition, both devices can be adjusted in angle to each other, so that the user can customize it and better view / operate.

The biggest drawback for some may be the high total weight. All together is very stable and quite heavy, but still very wearable for my feelings ...

Thanks again :))
