DJI Osmo Action - sports camera from the drone professional

15 May 2019 / From Johannes Domke / Photo, News / Post a comment

Not an underwater drone, but “just” an action cam today, DJI released under the slogan “Unleash You Other Side”. Although without a live stream and keynote, the DJI Osmo Action presented - a clear declaration of war on GoPro (current model GoPro HERO 7). The DJI Osmo Action has two screens (rear touch controls; front selfie display), can record 4K HDR video at 60 fps, offers camera stabilization with "RockSteady" and is waterproof to a depth of 11 meters (with case up to 60 m). Eight times slow motion is also possible.

The DJI Osmo Action is the new sports camera from the drone manufacturer from China. A challenge to GoPro and with the technical data and the price a clear alternative! Images: DJI

Buy DJI Osmo Action (with or without accessories)

The DJI Osmo Action is roughly in the cost range of the GoPro HERO7 and is therefore an alternative to be considered. In addition, the action camera of the drone professional offers the advantage of the front screen. The water density up to 11 meters deep should be enough for many - as well as that the camera can handle both cold and warm temperatures. If you want to go further or deeper, DJI also has the right accessories: replacement batteries, a rechargeable battery charging station for three batteries, a waterproof housing for dives up to 60 meters deep, a buoyant handle (so the camera cannot sink ), etc. You can find the offers on the Official store product page.

Use via the DJI Mimo app

The new DJI Osmo Action can be controlled from the iPhone with iOS or on the Android smartphone with the DJI Mimo app. This software, with mixed ratings on both systems, is already being used for other camera models from the manufacturer. You can find the free download in Apple App Store as well as in the Google Play Store.

DJI Osmo Action - Unboxing, Test and Review (YouTube Videos)

Da sir appleot Unfortunately not one of DJI's media and promo partners, I can't offer you my own DJI Osmo Action Test at this point. However, there are a few editorial offices that have already been allowed to use the device. I have included a few videos of these for you in the following. There is also one or two of the manufacturer's own videos for the presentation of the DJI Osmo Action. Have fun watching! And if you want to share your opinion on the cam, your expectations or wishes for upcoming products, please leave a comment;)

Sir Apfelot newsreel week 21, 2023
WWDC23 is getting closer and closer. But before the blog is all about new operating systems and possibly new products from Apple for days, there are two more newsreel issues with the normal madness from the Apple and tech world. In the Sir Apfelot newsreel for calendar week 21 of 2023, you can expect the following news: billions in fines for Meta, KulturPass is intended to financially strengthen young people and boost the economy, Photoshop beta equipped with Firefly AI, first App Store transparency report from Apple, a podcast -Recommendation for the weekend, Doom in teletext optics and more!
The Sir Apfelot newsreel as a podcast
If you like podcasts, you can also listen to the current newsreel. Lynne and Jens present you the latest blog posts as well as the individual news from the newsreel - they add their own experiences and opinions to the mix. You can access the podcast with these links:
In the Sir Apfelot newsreel for calendar week 21 of 2023 you will find the following reports, among others: Facebook fined billions, regulated crypto transactions, KulturPass to bring young people and local culture together, Photoshop beta with Firefly AI, first App Store transparency report, a podcast -Recommendation, and more!

General Data Protection Regulation: Meta has to pay a fine of 1,2 billion euros
The week began with a report from the Data Protection Commission (DPC) in Ireland, which imposed a record fine of 1,2 billion euros on Facebook's parent company Meta. The reason for this is the transfer of user data from the Facebook offer to servers in the USA. Facebook was asked to store the necessary data for the Facebook service on EU servers again. The whole thing is not only preceded by a ten-year dispute about insecure data storage in the USA, as heise online shows (here and here ). The penalty and its amount should also have a symbolic effect for other technology companies. The official press release on the subject you can find here.
EU rules on crypto transactions: Tracing must be possible from 1.000 euros
Cryptocurrencies and their use should, at least at the beginning of the hype, ensure free payment methods that stand out completely from previous currency and banking concepts. Over time, Bitcoin and Co. also became a financial investment that many hoped would make them millionaires. Now, however, there is increasing regulation of this market. For example, the EU Parliament has For example, it was decided that crypto service providers must make individual transactions traceable if they exceed a value of 1.000 euros. This is accompanied by the vote on the entry into force of the rules for "Markets in Crypto-Assets" (MiCA). The official source for the current decision: here . More about MiCA: here .
Federal Court of Justice: Google only has to delete proven false statements from the list of results
If you don't want any articles, posts, websites and news about yourself in Google's results list, you can't just ask for the individual entries to be deleted. Rather, it must be proven that the information in the publications is incorrect and thus paints a false picture. Google is not obliged to research the truthfulness of the publications itself or to approach individuals. The Federal Court of Justice decided this week in an individual case, citing, among other things, the GDPR and an assessment by the European Court of Justice from 2022. ( )
KulturPass: 200 euros for everyone who will have their 2023th birthday in 18
The "Culture Pass" is a new offer from the federal government that can be used from June. Citizens who celebrate their 18th birthday this year and thus become fully legally competent are entitled to use it. A budget of 200 euros per person is provided so that concert, theater, cinema or other tickets, CDs, records, books and other cultural offers can be purchased. On the one hand, this is intended to make it easier to get started with (local) culture, and on the other hand, the KulturPass and the associated expenses are intended to give culture a financial boost. So a win-win situation for young people and organizers after the Covid 19 pandemic. There are more details about this on the official website.
Photoshop: Adobe builds AI directly into the image processing
After the above-average number of political reports this week, let's get back to the topics of software and AI. Because in the current Beta version Adobe Photoshop can use artificial intelligence for image processing. Heise online points this out in a Entry there. It shows a photo of the heise headquarters, in which penguins and a T-Rex were placed using Photoshop AI. The underlying AI called "Firefly" (already mentioned in week 12) should also be used in other Adobe products in addition to Photoshop. In addition to photo and image editing, she could also help with video production, desktop publishing and other industries.
Apple Tysons Corner - Reopening of the first but now converted Apple store
We had one for Apple and Steve Jobs fans already in week 18 published the notice that the first Apple Store at Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Virginia, USA was closed. The reason for this was a new placement in the mall and the associated redesign of the store. Like Apple now even in one German press release shows, this new store was officially opened and celebrated by local fans. "Apple's first retail location has a new home with an inclusive, innovative and sustainable design that reflects Apple's values", is it [called. In addition to the YouTube video with Steve Jobs, you can see the old shop at the time it opened in the Shop Different App commit interactively.
First Transparency Report: App Store Report to be updated annually
Last week in the summary of Apple's newsroom entries, we had fraudulent actions in the App Store as a topic, among other things. Like me this week here read at heise online, it was no coincidence. Because as a result of various legal disputes, Apple now submits an annual App Store transparency report. The one for 2022 was not mentioned in the press release and can only be found by looking at the "More Resources" section on the "Legal" page - here . Then you will find the report there (PDF file). The numbers show, among other things, how many apps were submitted and how many were rejected, where and how many were ordered to be removed (China leads by far), and so on. The scope is only two pages.
Mixed reality headset: More brands secured via Apple shell company
Whether they will ultimately be used or whether they are only intended to prevent imitations remains to be seen. In any case, a few brand names were found again, which Apple is said to have secured through shell companies for its mixed reality headset and for its operating system. The system name "xrOS" and also the term "Deep Screen" are already known to us, but now "xrProOS", "realityproOS" and "realOS" are added. The individual names and trademarks have been filed in various countries by Deep Dive LLC. The berichtet including MacRumors with reference to various other sources.
The Jasper Caven case: Podcast recommendation on the "metabolic formula" scam
Since I started researching a few articles (here , here and here ) immersed myself in the fraudulent world of YouTube ads, I developed a love-hate relationship with this crap. On the one hand, it is extremely unfortunate that advertising on social media is used everywhere for fraud and rip-off. On the other hand, it is interesting to explore the background, to uncover crude marketing networks bit by bit and so on. So this week I almost did a deep dive into Jasper Caven's weight loss scam. But fortunately, more capable people have preceded me. If you know the "metabolic formula" ads or even the products, I recommend this edition to you the Quarks Science Cops (ARD production). A good mix of information and entertainment for the weekend!
Retro tinkering: play Doom via teletext technology
"Does it play Doom?" is a question that has become a meme, which can often be answered with a yes after some tinkering - regardless of whether the device in question is a graphics-capable calculator or the display of an office printer. Teletext was added this week to the already huge collection of devices and systems on which (after some manipulation) you can play the classic shooter Doom. Little can be seen of the actual game content that is translated from the game, but it is an interesting proof-of-concept. The video is there here ; you can find the source code on GitHub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIgQV4ClmQ0
Official ChatGPT App for the Apple iPhone
From the company OpenAI, which has become known worldwide through the "ChatGPT" AI, there is now an official iPhone app for using machine text creation. Thanks to this offer, you no longer have to download any AI app on the off chance and hope that it will establish a problem-free connection to the ChatGPT offer. After the official ChatGPT app for iOS was recently launched for the USA, it can now also be used in Germany. Download, installation and use of the basic functions are free of charge. For faster processing and the use of newer AI models, however, a subscription must be taken out. TL; DR: You can go directly to the App Store here
The official OpenAI ChatGPT app is now also available in Germany for the iPhone. Here you will find information on usage and privacy. You can also get the link to the official download from the iOS App Store here. So you don't have to search long between the numerous (fake) offers.

Possible uses of the ChatGPT app for the iPhone
The app can be used to send queries to the chat bot ChatGPT both by text and by voice input. The app description notes that it can provide instant answers, provide advice tailored to the request, provide creative inspiration, offer professional input, and identify learning opportunities. Here, on the part of OpenAI, people dance around the fact that ChatGPT also likes to talk nonsense and that the text output should not be viewed as a fact without being checked. Currently, only English is offered as the app language. However, the local release could indicate that there will be UI translations soon.
App settings for privacy
The official ChatGPT application for the iPhone could probably only now be activated in Germany because the new version 1.2023.22 also added a few privacy settings. Because in addition to voice input in languages other than English, this version now also allows you to prevent the recording and transmission of the chat history under "Data Controls". In this way, it is not transferred to other devices on which the same OpenAI account is used. In addition, it is not used for training new AI models. Despite the setting, the chat history is still available locally for 30 days if you want to look something up. You can find the official download of the software, which measures 16,3 MB and can be used from iOS 16.1 here in the iOS App Store (so far no usage possibilities for iPad and Mac).

Request missing LEGO bricks: Here's how!
This blog is not always just about Apple and technology, but sometimes also about toys and other physical products that have nothing to do with electronics or software. And the fact that new LEGO sets can sometimes be missing a brick or two certainly fits into this series of irregular excursions into the world of fun. If your set is missing a LEGO brick and you want to reorder it for free, it's really easy. I have tested the procedure and am generally satisfied with the handling of the request.
A LEGO brick was missing when assembling this table. Since I couldn't find it in any of the parts packaging of the set, I reordered it. This is free but may take a while.

Missing LEGO brick in new set: How to order missing parts!
The LEGO website has an extensive customer service section to click through. For different inquiries there are form masks in which you can enter the necessary data. This way you can find a solution quickly and without a long phone call or email to the support team. If you want to request a missing LEGO brick so that the set can be fully assembled, then help this page continue.
You can enter all the necessary data on the linked LEGO support page to receive the missing bricks in your set for free.
The first thing you will find on the linked page is the query for your region. If you are not currently using a VPN, the correct country should already be selected (in my case "Germany"). After clicking on the "Next" button, you enter the number or the name of the LEGO set in question and then look for the missing bricks. If you have packed everything in the shopping cart, you enter the shipping data, confirm everything and receive a confirmation of receipt by e-mail.
A little patience: order missing LEGO bricks is being checked
You should not expect delivery on the next working day or the day after that. Depending on the size of the repeat order, it will first be checked. You may receive an email about this. In my case, only one stone was missing, which is why the check was short and I soon had the stone dispatch confirmation in my e-mail inbox. However, LEGO reserves the right to deliver 7 to 10 working days. This confirms that you should not order again after a few days or ask support.
Extensively packaged and with an apologetic letter, the missing stone arrived.
I was lucky to receive the missing stone three business days after it was shipped, a total of five business days after placing the order (yes, it took two days to check). Now the LEGO set is complete and I can assemble it as explained in the enclosed instructions. Incidentally, the stone arrived by airmail and in a padded envelope. Enclosed was a letter with a personal address and parts list. The text states that mistakes are taken very seriously. And you can see that too. Note: I can imagine that larger re-orders of (allegedly) missing parts are accompanied by high demand. So you shouldn't try to use this free service to get the stones for your individual project by trickery.
