DJI OM 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".

I cut this over the newer 5 OSMO primarily for the extra battery life and true and true design. I used it at Disney world for consecutive 12+ hour days and NEVER got below 50% charge (even using it once to add as little more juice to my cell phone)Sorry simple to use, calibrated amazingly, dirt stay shots...The 3x3 panoramic is perfect for larger shots with or without people.The tracking is amazing.I love that I can put it is stand by mode.Only drawback is having to install the app from outside the official app stores, but that only took a couple extra seconds.This thing is awesome. Really light.I had decided if prior ask me what it was, how it works, and we're amazed at how much you get for a low price.And the ability just to use the great camera on my phone and quickly be able to use my phone as a phone thanks to the super strong magnet is so convenient.

This was my first time with a gimbal device and I must say that it is pretty fun to use once you've watched the tutorials. There's an array of features that the app provides for it to use. I have yet to use the movie editor in the app since I'm dedicated to a separate editor, but being able to have video stability while in motion during recording is what was desired. The magnetic clip that comes with it is dummy strong as well.Side Note:I use my OnePlus 8 Pro with this device. It works fine, just follow the instructions on balancing before use and you will have to remove your case if you plan on using the magnetic clip. There are tons of instructional videos for setup and an array of YouTubers that have their own tips n tricks videos to learn from.

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.

You must have this item it works like magic
