DJI Osmo Battery Extender for Inspire Batteries


DJI Osmo Battery Extender and Inspire Cable by mikemuonline

 

If you already own another DJI product such as the Phantom 3 drone, Phantom for drone, DJI gimbal stabilizer, or a DJI inspire drone, you might want to consider getting the DJI Osmo battery extender for your Osmo stabilizer.

 

The battery life of the DJI Osmo leaves a lot to be desired. I get roughly one hour of use the way that I use it and then I get battery anxiety because I only have 2 batteries right now. Each battery roughly runs about $35 from DJI plus tax brings it up to about $40.

I already have batteries for my DJI inspire drone, and while they are more expensive they should give me a full day of shooting with my Osmo at 100 W hours for the TB 47, and more for the TB 48.  The main thing that I have an issue with is the cable adapter that plugs into my DJI inspire battery is fairly loose. There is no locking mechanism to ensure that it remains plugged in while shooting. Nor is there a backup system within the adapter that allows it to save the recording should the power suddenly cut out.

It looks like at this point in time I'm going to have to use gaffer's tape or some sort of rubber band to ensure that it doesn't happen while I'm recording.
