Fresh innovations aim to empower every storyteller, from casual users to professional videographers.
At CES 2018, DJI, a global frontrunner in creative camera technology, introduced two exciting handheld camera stabilizers: the Osmo Mobile 2 and the Ronin-S. These new products cater to a wide range of users—from content creators and casual smartphone videographers to professional photographers using DSLRs and mirrorless systems. The focus is on enabling users to easily capture stunning images and smooth, cinematic videos on the move.
Osmo Mobile 2: Elevating Smartphone Filmmaking

The newly enhanced design allows for simpler control, cinematic zoom options, and an impressive battery life of up to 15 hours—over three times longer than its predecessor.
DJI’s renowned three-axis gimbal technology provides stability by negating unwanted camera movements, meaning your shots remain steady even during challenging circumstances. Additional features like a USB port for charging devices on the go and the ability to execute professional film techniques like dolly zoom only enhance its appeal.

DJI’s Ronin-S represents a remarkable innovation in the realm of camera stabilization, being the company’s first single-handed stabilizer aimed at DSLR and mirrorless camera users. Designed for easy setup and intuitive use, it features high-torque motors that support various popular camera-and-lens combinations. This ensures that capturing smooth, high-quality video is accessible and efficient.
The Ronin-S is equipped with advanced stabilization algorithms that enhance the cinematic experience, making it ideal for dynamic shooting conditions. Its ergonomic design includes feature-rich controls, such as dedicated buttons for initiating SmoothTrack, recording, and adjusting camera angles, all aimed at delivering a user-friendly filming experience.
Intelligent Features and Smart Integration
Both stabilizers boast seamless integration with the DJI GO mobile app, which unlocks an array of smart shooting options. Users can leverage features such as ActiveTrack for subject tracking, Motion Timelapse for creative time-lapse videos, and various mode options tailored to enhance photography, from panoramic shots to long-exposure experiments.
