DJI Osmo Nano: Better than DJI O4 footage?

 Is the DJI Osmo Nano worth adding to your drone? I compared it on my 5" drone to DJI O3 footage and on my cinematic 7" cruiser to the DJI O4 (with ND filter). I show you how to use Gyroflow and whilst testing I found a few surprises.


The Nano delivers noticeably better dynamic range and more filming options than DJI O3. It also delivers good battery life (considering the size) and lightning-fast file transfers!

BUT BE WARNED: The Nano is more prone to "jello" and its in-cam stabilization can struggle with drone vibrations, potentially ruining shots. Get ND Filters for the DJI Nano, I'm sure my friends at FreewellGear already have some in their shop!

PRO TIP: To unlock its full potential, ALWAYS film with Stabilization OFF and in WIDE FOV! Then, use Gyroflow in post-production for butter-smooth, controlled stabilization that truly shines. It takes a little extra effort, but the cinematic results are worth it!

Who is it for? Pilots seeking cinematic, natural-looking footage who are comfortable with post-stabilization and ensuring a super-stable drone mount.
