**I've finally found a decent gimbaled phone stabilizer that works!**
TL/DR: I've tried and discarded three or four inexpensive gimbal phone stabilizers in the past six months. None of them delivered on what they promised. The DJI Osmo Mobile 6 is the first one that really does it for me. The combination of software, documentation, training, and hardware performance add up to a great package. The price is nice too, especially when you compare it to pro setups.
Pros:
o Great training videos
o DJI Mimo app is fantastic
o DJI Mimo app has a lot of training
o Decent PDF manual
o Multiple gimbal lock and follow modes
o Active target tracking
o Nice magnetic latch system
o App automatically starts on attachment
o Zoom from a dial on the gimbal
o Most camera operations from controls on the gimbal
o Extendable mast
Cons:
o Magnetic latch system gets in the way of magsafe charging
o Would have been nice to have a larger mast
Man I have finally found the gimbaled phone stabilizer of my dreams. The DJI Osmo Mobile 6 makes a lot of promises and seems to perform on all of them. When you use this stabilizer in combination with the DJI Mimo app on your phone you have suddenly upped your phone video game tremendously.
I really love the magnetic clamp. If you are doing a bunch of shooting in one session and are removing your camera frequently, getting it back on the Osmo is so easy - line it up and the super-powerful magnets take hold and get it attached exactly where you want it.
The object tracking feature is tremendous - if you are shooting solo and want the camera to follow you around, this works flawlessly.
The controls on the Osmo for camera selection, video/photo mode, zoom and focus, shutter, and gimbal mode are all easy to use, and make your shooting more efficient - having dedicated buttons right at hand is always a fast way to do things.
If you buy this stabilizer, do be sure to watch all the training videos, more than once, and print out a copy of the PDF manual. In addition, walk through the guided tour of the app and pay attention, there is a lot of good info there. Because of the large number of features this guy offers it is going to take you a little time to master it all, but believe me, it is well worth the effort.
There are even better pro stabilizers out there, but they are usually going to cost at least twice as much as the Osmo Mobile 6, which puts in a nice sweet spot for me.
