DJIOM 4 - Handheld 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer with Grip, Tripod, Gimbal Stabilizer Ideal for Vlogging, YouTube, Live Video, Phone Stabilizer Compatible with iPhone and Android

I researched the DJI OM 4 extensively before purchasing it. The quality has gotten better with each generation. This last generation features a magnetic clip on/off mount for your cell phone. It's very intuitive and you can use it with or without the DJI app. With the DJI app you'll have a bunch of pretty cool features and effects. With just your phone's native video/photo app you of course still use the gimbal's stabilization features. The included tripod is very handy (get it?) and the threads at the bottom of the gimbal are the same as most other industry standard mounts and extension poles, making it very useful on different kinds of stands/tripods. The OM 4 folds up very compact. Some reviewers have said that it's "pocket sized". Well, it sort of is "pocket" sized if you have a larger than average pocket. You're not going to cram this into a pair of jeans, but you probably could easily fit this in a coat or jacket pocket. The battery life on this gimbal is very good. After using it off and on throughout the day, leaving it stored without recharging and then using it again a few days later, it still held about half the charge. I would say that's pretty good usage, without recharging, for most people using it over a weekend or short trip. Like most USB connected devices, this gimbal is very easy to recharge. Lastly, software updates to the gimbal are periodically pushed out from DJI via the app. It's all pretty intuitive and seamless. I don't usually write long reviews but this product is definitely a "recommend".

Last a long time. 6 years and still works well.

Attaching a video I made in only minutes at the park. This thing has so much potential. The ease of use and the app DJI provides really allow for some amazing video tricks!The quality of video will depend on the phone you use, but I’m using an iPhone 11 Pro Max which has amazing cameras.Tips: the magnet is a great idea but I do not feel comfy with permanently putting it on my glass phone.I purchased a case separate from what I have usually and put the magnet on that. Now , that case is my “Gimble Case” and I made sure to place the magnet in the center.I simply take my case off, and put my “Gimble case on” and I’m good to go!The spin feature adds some great cinematic shots and the motion time lapse is so much fun especially with clouds!The included tripod is such a nice touch, and definitely needed for the shots you’re going to want to take. DJI could have charged this separately so, it’s nice they include it in the box.I also purchased a monopod for this and the active track feature is definitely some future tech we get to have right now! No camera man needed, simply hold up two fingers ( make sure gesture controls are enabled ) and it’ll start recording and following you!I love this thing, and I love the price point. No balancing needed but just in case DJI builds in auto balancing and manually adjustment into the app.I suggest this to anyone who wants to get to some great shots for YouTube or their family videos!

The OM4 gimbal is a great product which can be fun for anyone wanting to have professional looking video without having all the shake that normally comes with hand holding a phone. The extra's that come with the gimbal application are also fun to use and add depth to your album. My only issue is that the gimbal doesn't have 360 degree rotation but that may be asking much from something you only pay about $150 for.This was NOT provided to me as an incentive to positive reviews, nor was it discounted to me if I provided positive reviews. I paid the full price for this as a personal item I had wanted after watching some reviews on youtube by other people. I do not have a youtube channel myself to provide reviews and video of that but it is something that I have thought about. However, please note that this specific review is purely independent and provided at my sole discretion.As a consumer, if you want to have some beautiful photo or videos to show off, this product can definitely help provide you the tools to do so at a reasonable price. Even if you only want something to have some fun with when you're out hiking or at the beach. You can pack it easily as it is not that big and can fit in pretty much any purse or bag and it easily unfolded to use when you feel the need.I am still learning all the different things that come with the application but I am having fun doing so. Maybe I will provide an updated review after a few months that can provide some details on durability, ease of use, battery durability, etc. For those on the fence, you may as well pick this up. For those of you asking if this is something you need... I wouldn't necessarily spend too much time thinking about that. It is a wonderful product to have but if the price is stopping you then leave it be. I will say this, you'd really be paying a whole lot more for a similar product that is not made in china.

I purchased this gimbal in March 2021 because I really wanted to see if I could use this for astrophotography on my iPhone. I tried it, it caught some light trails on the stars, but I'm sure that's something I can fix myself. The gimbal is very easy to use, one thing that I wish could change was to auto-pair instead of opening the Mimo app and then using another camera app, but again, that's just a preference. I don't use the ring that goes on the back of the phone as I like to keep my phone in a case at all times. With this, I prefer to use the clamp. If you have an iPhone 12 Pro Max (like I do) WITH a thick case like the Presidio Grip, the clamp will NOT hold the phone properly and it will fall off. I chose to buy the thinner case PresidioPro 2. Even with this thinner case, it won't clamp on properly because it adds to the phones thickness. ADVICE! Remove the rubber pieces on the sides of the clamp in order to allow for a better grip. It does seem to have rough edges, but I haven't seen any damages to my case or phone. I personal purchased an extra clamp in case I end up having to use my phone without a case.
