A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Dec 2019 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra

Hi Friends, 

December is the month closest to my heart as this is the anniversary month of my blog The Life's Way. I think I have poured all my energy into the same and building the brand in the last 8 years to whatever heights it has reached. The blog started with an idea to get into the Indiblogger community and participate in their blogging contests and now in 2020, Indiblogger has discontinued their establishment but I am still going strong into 2021 with more focus on Youtube Channel.  

1. 7 Years of www.TheLifesWay.com #TheLifesWay #BlogAnniversary #7YearsofTheLifesWay #1890Post - https://www.thelifesway.com/2019/12/7-years-of-wwwthelifeswaycom.html - Last year I completed 7 years of The Life's Way and this year it will be my 8th anniversary. Last year I thought of focussing on video making on Youtube and IGtv and the same has been going on continuously in 2020. I have reached around 85 videos on The Life's Way Youtube Channel with more than 710+ subscribers and 3.2 Million Impressions along with 319k views to date. 

2. @Vivomobile_SA Enters #SouthAfrica with Y11 & Y91C #VivaVivo #VivoSA #Smartphones - When Hawa Hyath joined the Vivo Mobiles as the Marketing Manager I was sure that I will get an invite sooner or later and soon I received one but this year she forgot to put my name into the list. I had to remind her that I am still in the country and got to review their latest 5G smartphone with Gimbal Camera system which I totally loved and it's called Vivo X50 Pro. The smartphone is too good that my wife said that she wants to buy the same whenever she travels to India in 2021 as the same is much cheaper there as compared to the price in South Africa. 

3. @Starbucks_SA CEO Adrian Maizey Sees Opportunity for the Brand Locally #Starbucks - Last year I met Adrian Maizey and since then he has changed the PR company and a lot of Starbucks shops have been opened across the country but never got the chance to see him again this year. Looking forward to starting my coffee journey if it happens with Starbucks in 2021 as so far in my life, I have been a teetotaller and big fan of Taj Mahal Tea. 

4. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Dec 2018 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra - https://www.thelifesway.com/2019/12/a-memoir-this-month-last-year-dec-2018.html - December 2018 I didn't do any posts and also in 2019, the number of posts was too less as most of the time went into going to the office and then roaming around in the city and nearby places in Johannesburg, South Africa. 

5. #TheLifesWayReviews - #OsmoMobile3 Gimbal @DJIGlobal #7YearsofTheLifesWay - I really loved the DJI products as I came across two or three of them which I reviewed in 2019 but this year I have not received any from the Core Group or their PR company. I really wanted to own one of the Gimbals but now I want to check out Ronin series as compared to the Osmo Mobile series of products. Let's see if The Life's Way youtube channel can fulfil this dream in 2021 or thereafter in 2022. Let's start the journey to awesomeness once again in video format.

Thanks to all the followers, readers and PR companies for taking me closer to the brands and also bringing them into my life from time to time. I am sometimes unable to meet the timelines set by the brands but soon I will follow a strict calendar schedule which I am working upon in December 2020 and 2021 thereafter. I sometimes think a lot before posting and accumulating my ideas and thoughts but now I have implemented a gathering notes policy so that the reviews come out as soon as possible as there is a subtle change in technology in the new products from the previous versions. 

Also, this is the last post of December of this kind in 2020 and I am thinking of introducing some new features on my blog. I am getting some ideas which I am going to implement in video format or blog form I am not so sure but the future is video entertainment. Let's go! 

Cheers!!!

Capture Life’s Memorable Moments in Cinematic Quality with Foldable #OsmoMobile3 @DJIGlobal

Hi Friends, 

DJI, the world’s leader in creative camera technology, announced the latest addition to the renowned Osmo series, the Osmo Mobile 3, a portable, foldable mobile phone stabilizer. Building on a long tradition of creating class-leading gimbals for both aerial and ground purposes, Osmo Mobile 3 is the culmination of DJI’s technology packaged into a thoughtful design.

The most travel-friendly Osmo Mobile to date, Osmo Mobile 3 is the ideal lightweight companion for all of life’s adventures. Users can capture ultra-steady video footage and unique content using intelligent features programmed into the latest version of the DJI Mimo app. An intuitive design meets functionality with Osmo Mobile 3, featuring simplified operation and adjustments.

“When we began designing Osmo Mobile 3, we went back to the drawing board with the goal of creating a portable yet an intuitive product that uses the latest DJI technology,” said Paul Pan, Senior Product Manager. “We are excited to introduce DJI’s first gimbal with a folding design and hope it inspires our customers to imagine new ways of recording content with their mobile phones.”

The Everyday Stabilizer

Always be prepared to capture high-quality photos and videos with Osmo Mobile 3 thanks to its folding design, which makes it highly portable. Easily grab and pack the new Osmo Mobile 3 away without the worry of taking up space. This ultra-compact mobile phone stabilizer reimagines the Osmo Mobile concept with a completely new design as well as locking mechanisms to ensure effortless transportation when on the go. With the ability to quickly unfold and mount a mobile phone, plus 15 hours of battery, users are sure to never miss life’s most memorable moments.

Form Follows Function

Osmo Mobile 3 is not only foldable; the new design makes operation extremely efficient, featuring vital controls manageable with just one hand. Thanks to convenient buttons on the handle, users can control the gimbal’s movement and access useful features with ease. Quick Roll rotates the orientation from portrait to landscape by pressing the Mode (M) button twice without the need to remove the mobile device. The redesigned form no longer obstructs the charging and audio ports, allowing for easy connection to charge the device or use external mics. A trigger helps maneuver the gimbal by locking orientation, rotating the gimbal for selfies, and even re-centering when tracking a subject. By using ActiveTrack, users can tap the trigger once, and Osmo Mobile 3 will begin tracking while keeping the subject centered within the frame. Zoom in and out with the dedicated zoom slider on the side of the stabilizer without needing to touch the screen of the mobile device, making content capturing less complicated. Additionally, users have the option to customize zoom speed based on personal preference.

Create to Impress

Osmo Mobile 3 uses the advanced DJI Mimo app and offers fun and creative pre-programmed modes. Connect to the device with Bluetooth 5.0 and take advantage of these features:

• Story Mode: Bring creative editing to your video with a host of pre-set music, video transitions, and filters. Choose one of 13 fun templates and Mimo will handle the camera movement for you. After shooting, Mimo automatically generates your very own professionally edited short video, ready to be shared.
• Gesture Control: Easily snap a selfie without pressing any buttons. Once Gesture Control is enabled, show a “peace sign” or put up your palm and Osmo Mobile 3 will begin a photo timer countdown.
• Sport Mode: Similar to the useful feature from the DJI Ronin series, Sport mode increases the response speed of the device to keep up when shooting fast-moving scenes.
• ActiveTrack 3.0: DJI's image recognition and deep learning algorithms allow Osmo Mobile 3 to recognize and follow subjects of your choice, perfect for capturing family moments easily with a tap.
• TimeLapse & MotionLapse: If you’re looking to turn minutes into seconds, Timelapse is perfect for capturing unique content with the effect of the world moving faster around you, while Motionlapse adds the dynamic element of movement to your Timelapse by setting points for the camera to move to.
• HyperLapse: Take the appealing visuals from Timelapse and add movement by manually moving Osmo Mobile 3 with you. Additionally, HyperLapse not only supports real-time Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) but also ActiveTrack 3.0.
• Panorama: Get a wider perspective with panorama mode. Users can choose between 3×3 and 180° panorama modes.
• Slow Motion: Slow down the world around you with 4X or 8X Slow Motion.

Price and Availability

Osmo Mobile 3 is estimated to be available in South Africa by mid-September, the standard version which includes Osmo Mobile 3, wrist strap, a storage pouch, and anti-slip pads will retail starting at ZAR 1,895.00. Also available is the Osmo Mobile 3 Combo, which in addition to the components of the standard version, includes the Osmo Grip Tripod, Osmo Carrying Case, purchase price starting at ZAR 2,255.00.
