Louis Rossmann, the well-known YouTube personality famous for his candid and critical takes on tech and repair issues, dives into a hands-on demonstration with the DJI Osmo Action camera in this clip. He begins by attempting to power on the device—a process that doesn’t work straightforwardly. Instead of simply activating the camera, he’s forced to scan a QR code to download the DJI Mimo app, a hefty 741‑megabyte download, in order to use what he disparagingly calls a “fancy dash cam.” What if their website/app/cloud stops working?

Throughout the video, Louis expresses his frustration with the convoluted setup. He mocks the limitations and mandatory app requirements that not only restrict the straightforward use of a device he spent $300 on but also grant the app intrusive permissions over his phone. This cumbersome process, including reading lengthy and restrictive legal terms like “limited license to use,” underscores his discontent with the system. Ultimately, his sarcastic tone and biting commentary make it clear that he isn’t interested in ever going through such a hassle again, and he’s already planning to return the device.
