DJI Osmo Action, Robomaster S1 and Roborock S6: Our favorite gadgets of 2019
We run through the best Chinese tech gizmos of the year!
DJI Osmo Action
The DJI Osmo Action is my favorite gadget of the year. This action camera has screens on the front and the back, making it useful for previewing photos and videos on the camera itself instead of a smartphone. It can also shoot smooth 4K videos with RockSteady, which delivers great results even when I use it as a handheld camera.
OBSBOT Tail
It’s difficult for me to justify buying a dedicated camcorder for myself. A gimbal, maybe -- but why spend more when I already have a smartphone that I can use to record video on the go?
Well, the OBSBOT Tail changed my mind. Created by Shenzhen-based startup Remo Technology, the video camera is made for people like me who don’t have the steady hands and nippy reaction for recording moving subjects. The little gadget, which is about the size of an ice cream carton, does the job for you by automatically locking down a target and spinning around to follow it.
