DJI OSMO Mobile 6 Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer, 3-Axis Phone Gimbal, Built-In Extension Rod, Portable and Foldable, Android and iPhone Gimbal with ShotGuides, Vlogging Stabilizer, Slate Gray

Product Information

Given that the gimbal has an app for your smartphone, you should be able to use any phone as long as it fits on the clamp.

Everything is easy enough to understand that a novice filmmaker could pick up an Osmo Mobile 6 and get right to filming, while pros will appreciate the various levels of control they have over the camera’s movement and stabilization. Here, electronic image stabilisation struggles due to the slower shutter speeds required and the footage from the gimbal is much more impressive. Tilt Lock: The camera view only follows the gimbal’s pan movement and stays stable during tilts and rolls — ideal for shooting horizontally or moving around a subject. Compatible with LG V20, VIVO X9, OPPO R11, Google Pixel, Nexus 6P, Huawei P9, Huawei MATE 9, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy S8+, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, MI 6, MI5. When using Osmo Mobile, the recording of sound is handled by your phone other than the gimbal system.This is an easy way for anyone to create stunning social media videos without any video editing expertise. Really, the only major thing that’s disappointing about the Osmo Mobile 6 is how it indicates that DJI doesn’t really care much about Android users. Color accuracy is critical for modern creative work, but many creatives have no idea what a colorimeter is actually doing when you put it on your display. In terms of the to-camera pieces, we found that the ActiveTrack 5 did a great job of keeping the camera on us, but we were less convinced by DJI’s claims about the ability to identify and follow subjects with zoom.

You can toggle through the modes linearly using the multi-function button (indicated by an M on the front panel).While it locked on to subjects almost immediately, I also found that it would lock on to another if it crossed in front of your initial subject.

The compact and foldable design is easy to pack, and with the quick-release magnetic phone clamp, you can get going without the hassle of removing your phone case. Roll the wheel to adjust the focal length for flexible composition and zoom in and out with buttery smoothness. The Smooth 4 packs a 2,000mAh cell, which should keep you rolling for up to 10 hours on a single charge.The darker grey colour that DJI has chosen for the Mobile 6 gives a bit more of a professional look than the previous generation and the new controls look more professional, too.

We found it easier to simply use the joystick when testing with passing cyclists, which the software simply didn’t identify in the way that it does using a drone.

The DJI Osmo Mobile 6, in a lovely new shade of darker gray than its predecessor, has a firm feeling in the hand.
