DJI Osmo Mobile 3 Combo - 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal Handheld Stabilizer Vlog Youtuber Live Video for iPhone Android

I’ve had mine for a few years now and it still works great. The battery is long lasting so perfect for my shoot days. No issues

My old 6 Plus has no image stability for video. I needed a simple gimbal that could stabilize flyover shots of table top products and minimize shake on walking zoom frames. $150 seems to be the sweet spot for most similarly priced gimbal currently available. Though I've never owned a DJI drone, I have friends that do landscape and realty videography that swear by DJI. So I jumped in after reading the pros & cons. Others seem frustrated by having to set up the phone on the OSMO for balance before turning on the gimbal every time. This takes me less than a minute at worst now that I've been using it for about a month. The MIMO app is okay and does what I need it to do; frankly, though, I use the built-in iPhone camera app for most every thing I need.The OSMO is plastic-y, but I don't through gear around haphazardly. It may not survive a drop onto a hard surface.I paid the extra buck for the kit with the tripod included for convenience, which is fine. I've also recently used the OSMO, but not the MIMO app on an iPhone 6s. No issues for me, though I've read reports that 6s owners have issues. I'm just using the built-in camera app on the 6s, though.I'd recommend this gimbal and if I needed another, I'd buy this one again.

So...idk how this is not more expensive. After having owned multiple pricey DJI drones in our family, I am amazed at the quality, functionality, and ability of this fair-priced gimbal.My sister and brother in law are both buying one nowThis gimbal works great with my Google Pixel 4 XL with a clear case on.We ordered this and had it delivered the next morning. I'm so glad we did because labor happened later that day. What are my favorite functionalities?The stand. It's simple, but allows everything to be smoothly captured. Tracking - also an amazing tool. The app - surprisingly good. I know it's had some updates - but I haven't had any problems with it! You have to remember to change the resolution right away in the app - but it doesn't think your pictures or videos by downgrading the resolution (other than 60fps not available with 4k res).We captured our first little ones birth with this gimbal and it worked so well. We have used it for a few hours and it still has near full battery. Did you know it can charge your phone with the included USB output??The bad:Using our wide angle lens attachment for my phone weights down one side - not doable, but not a deal-breaker.Thanks DJI for helping us capture our first kid's birth!!

I will need to come back and update this later when I'm six months in and have more experience with this device, but considering the amount of varying info here and on the web in general about the use of an external mic with an Android phone, I figured I'd weigh in. At present, I can only report on using this device and the Mini app with a Pixel 4a(I have a couple other Pixels around here and will report back if I can get the proper adapters to test them).But I can confirm that an external mic plugged into my Pixel 4a is absolutely used as the sound source in the DJI Mimo app. There are no specific settings in the app, it is just picked up by default when the mic is plugged into the 4a, which for the record sports a standard 3.5mm 'mini' audio jack. It is absolutely necessary that the jack that plugs in be TRRS on the phone side - so TRS to TRRS is fine. I will note that the balance on the Mobile 3 is rather delicate and it doesn't tolerate much variation before 'flopping' into a self protective position, so whether you add a cold shoe mount to the Mobile 3's base or a clamp around the handle, you are going to want as light a cable connecting mic to phone as possible that accomodate the Mobile 3's full range, for where the input on the phone happens to be for both landscape and portrait modes, if you plan to use both. This is likely going to be somewhere around 14-16", although this might differ for your setup. You can expect this to be a 'fussy' situation, no matter what phone you are using, but it is possible.Also, I'd like to clarify because I've seen it misrepresented elsewhere - the Mimo app for Android, at least as of Dec 2020, supports 4k resolution at a max frame rate of 30fps, and 1080 and 720p resolutions at a max frame rate of 60fps. Again, this all I have tested and can only confirm for use with the Pixel 4a.Considering that it's not even listed as one of the officially supported phone models, I think that's pretty good. And by and large, the app functions well for all advertised features. I have had crashes in story mode when stitching *specifically* with the 'fashion' template and no others, which is weird but has been consistent. In any case I am not particularly interested in story mode. As for a more substantive review, time will tell. Clearly I am pushing the limits of what the Mobile 3 was designed for - the top end mechanically and the bare minimum when it comes to memory and processing power, but it is absolutely doing everything I hoped it would at the moment, and it is my sincere wish that you should all be so lucky.

Combine this with an inexpensive app like Filmic Pro, and you have the equivalent of what, just a few years ago, would've been a truckload of gear worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I use this with an iPhone 8. Learning curve requires a little commitment, but there are lots of tutorials and demonstrations online. As with any good tool, it's how you use it. And this one gives you plenty of flexibility. Set it on a tripod, use the "follow" function with gesture control, and you've got a robotic camera operator for your selfie videos. Truly amazing. Gets great shots right out of the box. But if you want to achieve a film look, you can add clip-on filters and perhaps an anamorphic lens – all quite inexpensive. If you use clip-on lenses and filters, you may also need a set of small counterweights to balance your phone. They screw into a threaded hole on the side of the gimbal and there are several third-party versions available for around ten bucks. Overall, a serious shooting tool limited only by your imagination.
