Power in My Pocket

Osmo Pocket

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00352

I went to Best Buy today and picked up the Osmo Pocket from DJI. Those are the drone people. Well, they make this tiny 3 axis gimbal camera that fits in your pocket. I have been looking for something that I can use when I go to Toy Fair in February so that I can take tons of video quickly and easily. I have the wireless Lav Mics, I just needed something that would have long battery life so I could film a lot. My old Samsung 6S just won’t cut it anymore. I needed something way more portable. I want to be as unencumbered as I possibly can this trip.

The funny thing is that this product has been on my Amazon.com wishlist for a while and my friend Becky removed it from the list. She recently got one and by some off chance I was surprised and kinda excited that maybe she had gotten me mine. I asked her but it was not the case, she accidentally removed it from my public list because she was one of the admins for it. Oh well, I had Best Buy money from recent campaigns so I picked this up for myself. I think that the thought of actually owning one gave me the push I needed to pick this up over something like a drone. I should get much more use out of this.

Frozen Rhody

Frozen Rhody

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00351

I was out on the porch checking on the Christmas tree and took a look at all the frozen things all around. The Rhododendron bush was especially frozen and looked almost plastic. A cool thing to look at, but was not so much fun to walk around on the frozen ground. Allison’s car door was frozen solid when she got out of school. The back patio was a sheet of ice and I salted it a few times. A steady mist of rain kept up most of the day.
