to get that info later on YouTube. Balancing was
the most difficult procedure and took a few
minutes to set it up, but once you get the hang
then the next time you install your phone it will
be a breeze. The Osmo Mobile cam hold my
phone in portrait or landscape, but I don’t know

Now to the fun stuff! The Osmo Mobile is a sta-

power button the gimbal came alive and balance

the gimbal locked on me and keeps me in-

The rocker switch on the side allows me to
zoom in and out. The M button toggles the gim-

The Osmo Mobil has an internal (rechargeable)
battery that is suppose to give my up to 15- DEVICE?
hours off a single charge. The USB port on the
side can connect to my phone and use the Os-
mo as a portable battery charge

Paul offered four questions one should answer
to decide if leaving cable TV is for you.
1. DO YOU WATCH NON-BROADCAST CHAN-
NELS?
2. WHAT CHANNELS DO YOU WANT TO
KEEP/LOSE?
3. WHAT STREAMING SERVICE SHOULD I
CHOOSE?
4. DO YOU (ALREADY) HAVE A STREAMING
To cut costs, Paul primarily suggested two op-
tions to consider.
(1) Getting an antenna and watching TV over
the air or
