Playing around with the Action at high speed on the Motorbike

Ian in London · May 25, 2019

Last week I tried the Pocket on the GSR 600 and wasn't too impressed with the results. It's clear the delicate gimbal can't cope with high wind. But this week I tried the Osmo Action and what a difference. The annoyingly-named RockSteady stabilization really does the job IMHO. And the sound and focus seemed spot on too.

Go for a spin.....

I think the video shows that the Action's stabilization is, well, "rock steady!" Impressive.

I took it hiking the other day and been tweaking the video to speed it up. I was hand-holding the Action at arm's length while negotiating the rocky trail.

PS - used your tutorial on settings to smooth drone camera/gimbal action for my Zoom - thanks

The stabilzation is way better than I expected. And you sound like a little creature scurrying along with your speeded up video

But it shows how good it is at keeping things smooth.

Nice one Ian, im just glad you tubers have finally stopped doing Osmo Pocket v Gopro 7 comparisons. The Pockets a a fantastic little camera and still amazes me everytime I use it, but an action camera it aint, nor was it ever meant to be.

Yep; the Osmo Pocket cannot be compared to the GoPro7 or even the Osmo Action. They're completely different tools for different jobs.
