How To Shoot A Fight Scene (with A DJI Osmo)

On this video, Ryan Connolly from Film Riot takes a look at how to shoot a fast action fight scene up close using a DJI Osmo.

The Osmo has been around for a while now and recently DJI even introduced a new DJI Osmo 4-Axis Stabiliser. This tiny unit with a relatively large sensor camera allows filmakers to create scenes that were impossible or very hard to do until now and Connolly’s behind the scenes video shows us just how he was able to shoot all the different parts in a very tight corridor, very close to the action.

As it happens, DJI released today a wireless follow focus for some of its products and we found it relevant enough to include it in this post as a bonus video.

This baby isn’t cheap at almost $2000, but if you need it and have the budget – you can get it right from DJI’s site.
