(If I'm going to walk around with my phone on a stick, what do I need the Osmo for?) This thought process seems to inform several other poor design decisions:- WiFi is an optional extra, rather than being built-in. This seems absolutely crazy to me, given that other action cameras on the market come with built-in WiFI, allowing for wireless remote operation out of the box.- Wrist strap attaches to the case, rather than the camera. WHAT? I care a lot more about dropping or losing my expensive camera than the stupid flimsy case...that you can't leave on the camera if ... MoreDJI thinks the Osmo is some kind of rickety cell phone accessory, rather than a capable standalone device, and shows giant cell phones jammed onto the side of the diminutive camera in their promotional material.

WHAT? I care a lot more about dropping or losing my expensive camera than the stupid flimsy case...that you can't leave on the camera if you've connected any of the accessories you're stuck buying.- Attaching the WiFi accessory (which, as mentioned before, should really be built-in) uses the USB-C port, meaning you can't connect a charger to the camera while operating it remotely by WiFi...and of course, the number one reason I'd want to run it by WiFi is to do a long-duration time lapse, for which I'd want to have the charger connected. Oops! Also means you can't use the overpriced external microphone adaptor if you want to charge or operate the camera wirelessly.- None of the Osmo Pocket cases that DJU sells will hold the camera with any of the accessories attached, including the cell phone adaptor, WiFi adaptor, action camera mount, or control wheels...meaning you have to take all of those things off to put it away, and put them all back on when you pull the camera out. Tiresome, and I start to worry about wearing out connectors.- No tripod or action camera mount built in, meaning...another accessory you have to purchase!Have used this for a couple of vacation videos, and the video quality is very good, and the stabilization/gimbaling feature works quite well. Audio from the built-in microphone is noticeably better than from the 2017-era "black" action camera I was using before. Lesswrbluepearl · Review provided by Best BuyAll Reviews
