When you think of DJI’s Osmo camera, timelapse photography likely isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But, as it turns out, the gimbal-stabilized 4K footage from the DJI Osmo is a perfect solution to creating incredible hyperlapse videos.

Award-winning timelapse photographer Rufus Blackwell took his DJI Osmo on a recent trip to Saigon, Vietnam. During the two months he spent there, he captured and created an absolutely stunning hyper lapse video of the life, culture and architecture of Ho Chi Minh City.

In speaking to PetaPixel, Blackwell talked about the experience of shooting with the DJI Osmo, saying:

Because the camera is so steady, you can create hyperlapse sequences from shooting video, a completely new way of creating a moving timelapse […] This allows you so much latitude in post, you can warp time. This was a highly experimental shoot, I was amazed by the results.
