DJI OM 5 Smartphone Gimbal - Review and Tutorial

[@51Drones]

Get the OM 5 here: moment.8ocm68.net/KeZROv

[@BarqueCat2]

How secure is that magnet? Say I had the phone mounted and the wrist strap on - how hard is it to get the phone to detach?

[@calx66]

@@BarqueCat2 Hi Jennifer, I just happened to be reading up on that on the DJI site whilst watching - What is the magnetic force of DJI OM 5? Is it high enough to keep my phone on the gimbal securely? The magnetic force of DJI OM 5 is 47.5 Newtons, roughly equivalent to the weight of more than two 2L bottles of soda, and strong enough to keep your smartphone securely attached.

[@PcFishX23]

@@BarqueCat2 I use my OnePlus 8T with the OM4 and it takes a beating. You really have to hit it to knock the phone off

[@RVingwithG]

When the 4 came out I so thought that I needed it over the 3.0 ver.. so glad I waited... I TOTALLY NEED the NEW 5.0 thanks

[@jackzumarraga]

How much it OM5?

[@Jbeales2]

Is that an OM5 in your pocket or are you just happy to see me!!

[@user-jy4ix7dj7p]

Must have the OM5! Travel friendly and also perfect when you're filming alone.

[@petermackie7156]

I've just purchased the OM 5 and as it's my first gimble so your video is good for me. Not too much & too fast info, I'm seventy and managed to follow this video easily so thanks for that.

[@siren8888]

Thanks! You are a pro at creating educational content. All quality content and no boring fluff! You are easy to follow at just the right pace! I subscribed for all the reasons stated.

[@RamenKing2023]

Was going to purchase this until I read all the 1 star reviews. Apparently it is not compatible with the iPhone 13 Pro Max. People mentioned it not being powerful enough and hearing the gears as it tried to move. Guess i'll have to purchase a Ronin Gimbal. I just want to use Active Track 3.0. Since I will be shooting short films alone. I plan to upgrade to a Bmpcc 6k Pro in the future anyway.

[@la5150hi-lophoto]

you know what I love about your videos is you're just the normal guy who doesn't get caught up in gadgets. Plus, you get your kids outdoors:). Thanks! I joined your channel when you had less than 100k subscribers - glad to see you've got almost 200k.

[@c.vernonfrancis2777]

I have used the OM4 for the past year and love it. Didn't think it could get better. OM5 proves me wrong! Your walk-through was spot on, as usual. I was betting the "Hi 5" email I received had to be the OM5 and was anxiously waiting for the release. Gotta get an OM5. I thought the DJI Mini 2 was a great move but this is also a game-changer! Would be great for my upcoming trip to Playa del Carmen!

[@harrison00xXx]

"I have used the OM4 for the past year and love it. Didn't think it could get better. OM5 proves me wrong!" YOu can only say that if you didnt used the OM5 and did not compare it to the OM4. The OM4 has A LOT BETTER battery runtime, not much of a thing, but still, especially considering you can charge your phone with it. But the main thing is: the tilt range at OM5 is POOR AF! The OM4 wasnt really great at tilt, but still MUCH BETTER than the OM5 ever could be.

[@PhillyDroneLife]

Truly one is your best made videos! I enjoyed this very much! 💙💙 Mikey

[@kenfischer2285]

Had received an email from DJI regarding this product, so I came to KZbin to see if anyone was going to talk about it, and it was YOU, Russ....thank you.

[@itsamemario720]

It's finally out! And looking sooo fine!

[@terrylstarks]

Two Zhiyun Smooth Q 2 ads in your video. Somebody must be worried. Russ you talked me into it. Thanks!! Great informative vid!!!!! I bought the Air 2 when it came out so it’s my favorite DJI product so far.

[@JohannesSinclair]

Beautiful content, pal. Very informative and brief. I definitely got me one of those gimbal for my vivo x60 pro with inbuilt microbial main cam. This just made videography so much more fun.

[@briansingh1635]

Another amazing video. You have the best reviews and expertise. Thank you

[@razorwired130]

You are a very composed and engaging speaker - no hems and haws. Refreshing.

[@jenniferbecker748]

Thank you for this very thorough, informative video. My husband and I are currently looking to purchase a gimbal for our phone to take with us on our next vacation. You have definitely sold me on this one! Thank you again.

[@thegoodgodlife7563]

Amazing video! The selfie stick or the lack there of all other gimbals is the reason that I haven’t purchased up till now. Another reviewer said you couldn’t switch from front to rear camera so I have to keep searching glad I found your video it was excellent

[@WhereTheLocalsRoam]

I just got my DJI OM 5 yesterday and am loving it! I did a lot of research in terms of which gimbal would work with my iPhone 13 Pro (made the mistake of getting a Hohem iSteady+ first and it did noooot deliver) and this has been such a great improvement! I do POV walking videos and the test clips I shot today were so much better than my previous ones. DJI really delivered and your video helped me make the right decision -- thanks!!

[@jeffgkinzel]

Phantom 4 pro my fav

[@brionesb]

Thanks for showing a side by side size comparison in your video! Of the handful of videos I’ve watched today, your comparison is helpful in showing the size difference which is a game changer for me. I like that this looks like it is much more portable than the OM4 which I also own because I will be much more likely to grab this when going out. Great informative review as well!

[@51Drones]

Thanks man!

[@fatihzoroglu4006]

I like the way you explain the product. You are honest

[@YellowRoseDrones]

You're the first video tutorial that mentioned how to change from portrait to landscape mode. Another reason why your channel is among the best. ...and no, I won't fall for that scammer, pretending to be you, who's claiming I've won something if I use a different app to contact them. LOL

[@cheekyoscar1353]

another quality review really good 10/10 🔥🔥👍👍 thank. just ordered one today from DJI direct Uk

[@johnjewels80249]

Just got my OM5, first gimbal. Thanks for going over everything, it really helped.

[@kellyinvietnam8120]

Thanks for the awesome review! After watching this video, I've realized that OM5 + smartphone + Rode wireless microphone can be the best combination! Also the cost is lower too! around $200 usd lower.

[@MATHEMATICSwithSHAHABYAKOOB]

Cleared up some misconceptions about usage this gimbal . Keep up the good work 💫

[@JoelsterG4k]

Excellent review, I do have a question, does it work with Android phones.? I have the Note 20 plus, it's a big phone, will it handle it.?

[@flyingdoublew782]

Disappointed the motors and overall weight capacity wasn’t beefed up. Shooting with external lenses on an iPhone 12 Pro Max will still result in the same iffy performance as the OM 4. DJI stated the weight capacity a little differently, but when you compare the OM 4 and OM 5, the are essentially the same capacity. Even with counterweights, my OM 4 struggled with an anamorphic and ND filter setup. Great review, Russ.

[@51Drones]

I need to test that further. Thanks!

[@BOSS-UAQ]

Thanks for the review ... The problem with the dji gimbal is it works very well with the iPhone only but the android many features in the app is not available

[@roadsclouds]

Very informative and detailed video. Thanks 😊

[@elwoodgaming7652]

I like that it’s lighter and smaller than the OM4. It’s more vlogger friendly.

[@BrandonG85]

Thanks for the review Russ! Now I’m considering buying the OM5 after watching your review. I have the OM4 but didn’t use it as much considering I have to take my phone case off every time and would miss the shot. Very hard and annoying for me to take my phone case off. Now the OM5 seem to fix that issue with that cool light clamp! I agree that person needs a raise who designed or thought of it! Can’t wait for your software review next! Oh almost forgot, I’m looking forward to Mavic 3 or Phantom 5 the most from DJI but any DJI product is very interesting! Always like whatever they come out with (even if I can’t afford them lol).

[@vsappel]

Got one and didn't like.

[@ev-ezaye3580]

@Brandon G I can safely say, the Phantom line/series is dead! Unless I can't predict DJI's next product launch!

[@flexthecat3278]

Very detailed presentation of the new DJI OM5!

[@Irishtraveler353]

Fantastic video Russ love watching all your content im thinking of getting one in the future, keep up the great work/ garreth from ireland

[@Jacky-USA]

I do so many smartphone gimbal! Try to have one to travel with my kid’s memories! OM5 is great! Hope that get one from u! Good luck to u and someone! And good video to show me! Thx

[@moretoknowshow1887]

The OM5 form factor is what sold it for me along w/ the improved clip, which appears to fit around phone cases better.. Seriously, something I can take in my pocket to shoot is going to be a plus in my book.

[@TheGrove101]

4:26 is that an OM 5 in your pocket or are ya just happy to see us? 😂

[@bledford13]

Great video Russ! Can't wait to see the next one.

[@GeoDandrew]

Looks like a great first time gimbal user friendly tool. Definitely worth looking into and I will be looking forward to your giveaway! Thanks Russ!

[@dougcooper4917]

Russ, Excellent Review On The DJI OM 5! Thank You!

[@donalex99]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@brokensword2621]

Great review man. So this surprise from dji is om 5 after all. No phantom 5 or mini 3. Very disappointing 🙄

[@TechNomadIN]

Must have tech for that excellent nature videography.

[@henryfardell7842]

Great help and so clearly explained!

[@gbdrone1]

Thank you for a great video on the OM5. I just recently purchased mine and have yet to put it through its paces. I have had 3 previous Osmos...this is the best so far. Using this in conjunction with my Air 2S videos will help me make some impressive cinematic projects. Thanks!

[@GhazaliAziz]

Nice .... I am excited and looking forward to get my hand on it !!!!

[@Living_Our_Best_Life]

Russ, really enjoyed the video. The link to purchase it is not working. Is it available now and what is suggested retail?

[@51Drones]

Fixed!

[@joypyf2389]

Why do I feel like I’m still in the dark ages? I’m still using an Osmo 3. This is really making me want to upgrade. Thanks for the great content!

[@MrKahuna5]

Great tutorial. Very informative. Also considering the DJI Pocket 2.

[@shenzhang9352]

Great review Russ! Thank you for the comparisons between 4 and 5.

[@Mrthezanax]

Great review, but are there any limitations on android phones or it's made only for iphones???

[@ev-ezaye3580]

My all-time favourite DJI product say you? Why it's the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum! Then the Inspire series, with the Mavic 3 Ciné in close contention…

[@curtmudgeon8703]

i'd love to get into capturing my senior years. i sure hope this works well with the wife's Pixel 5! soon enough i'll be too old and will rely on memories i hope to capture now! "SUBSCRIBED"!!!

Looks good, Russ. You do an excellent job. I have learned so much from you about my DJI Air 2. Please enter me for the drawing. Thanks

[@nbrettoner]

Russ I am drooling. What an awesome machine! (It's far too clever to be categorised as a 'gizmo/machine/thing/whatever'. And your presentation was excellent. Yes of course I'm putting my hand up for the future competition, but I'm in NSW Australia.

[@thomaslikesmusic]

I just bought the OM 4 about 3 months ago.... not enough here to make a casual user like myself upgrade, but some nice improvements for sure!

[@beemcbike]

Love my OM3 but will upgrade. Still waiting for OsmoAction2. Great Vid, tnx👍🇨🇭

[@mefrankme]

I’m going to have to seriously consider this one. I might take my channel to the next level with my improving swing and a clearly advanced Gimbal. Doesn’t look pink though🤔; just saying 😊

[@davidandlorisams3489]

Awesome.....we will probably be getting 2

[@travelingsorry]

Just got it today super cool gadget

[@theguyfromberlin]

Brilliant. Thank you.

[@TheKing4576]

Can’t wait to get one these soon shooting my own music viodes

[@swampwalker810]

Ok I’ve only had the Osmo 4 for maybe 6 months. I think I’ll be selling it to get the 5. Thanks again Russ for all the information you share on your vids.

[@gill4liife]

Great video! Thank you

[@DougPetersenInspire]

Thanks Russ... great information.

[@eluckie]

Russ just FYI....My experience is that the OM5 (nor the OM4 for that matter) is not compatible with the new iPhone 13 Pro Max that I received yesterday. I had used it with my 11 Pro Max with no issue for a couple of weeks. It doesn't appear to be just waiting a firmware update but based on the behavior of the OM5 it appears to be a weight issue. In my research I am finding very little from DJI on this other than the standard line of "we add to our list of supported devices on a regular basis". I have about 10 days remaining on my return period with Best Buy to return my OM5 so I am going to hold on a few more days to see if something develops. In my mind, I just think it would be hard to correct the issue with firmware if it truly is a weight issue. It is disappointing because I am sure DJI knew the specs for the new iPhones well in advance.

[@WanderlustReports]

Great test, thanks! What would be interesting would be a comparison between a phone + OM5 and a DJI Pocket 2...

[@robpottergolf]

Great review. Personally I’d like them to bring out the OM6 with availability for a microphone input. The only one I’ve seen is with the Benro 3XS Lite which I have. It means that in windier conditions, when filming with my iPhone, I can reduce wind noise with a mini dead cat on my Saramonic 3.5mm jack mic. This is is plugged directly into the top of the gimbal handle with a cable cable co I got out of the phone holder which I can plug into the iPhone. I’m stunned DJI haven’t done this yet to assist “phone only” vloggers.

[@joeykahng6219]

I would assume, that there is proprietary tech to ensure that the motor noise doesn’t bleed over into the mic. Seen a couple gimbals have this problem.

[@georgebeecher6319]

Very helpful video, THANKS! I can't seem to locate that second video with more in depth information you mentioned. Am I just overlooking that somewhere here?

[@johnjoel8952]

Very good video… sold me on it but I just got my notice from DJI and I leave In 2 days for my cruise on the Edge so I guess it’s to late to have for the Cruise… I guess I’ll just have to wait until it’s available on Amazon. Maybe by the holidays. Thanks for the great review, just bad timing. keep up the great work!

[@pierresakr1811]

A Great Presentation , Thank You

[@ruthun]

So many micro judders. Tested it against OM3 and the OM3 was much stronger, motors wise.

[@tamarat1657]

Great video thank you.

[@ColumbusCupKid]

I’ve been looking at the OM5 ever since it came out, I just wish it came in a color like black or gray

[@mranerobic3795]

DJI definitely needs more color. Even staunchy Apple finally gave in, and launched it recent line of products in multiple colors (although I'm not fond of pastels either, its a nice change). In my book, black should always be a default color for those photo/videographers that prefer to remain inconspicuous.

[@ScottHirschman]

I was seriously thinking on getting this gimble coming from a OM 4 but then I saw a video on the Zhiyun Smooth 5. Wow, that gimble runs circles around the DJI model. You should check that one out as well.

[@mranerobic3795]

They differ in design, and there are advantage and disadvantages to each. For example, the Smooth 5 doesn't offer the extension arm. A very useful feature for some folks.

[@equanimitybodymind3161]

Very helpful review, thank you. As for the best DJI product, I would say this is it(so far), but I would love to see a gimbal that could support an 11" ipad pro; something a bit more than a two handed case, but something with 3Axis.

[@ev-ezaye3580]

Oh why do you need a stabiliser for an iPad?? The best lenses on mobile are on the cellphone line of products!

[@LouisLuzuka]

How did you film that beautiful intro talking head Russ it looks stunning 😮

[@binoybenjamin7722]

such a worth video. thankyou sir.

[@KaioshinAemi]

Always the best review Russ. I love this new OM5 but I wish it has AI tracking that doesn’t required DJi App so that I can use iPhone Native camera app.

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Great video ! Thanks ! How about the follow up video you teased us with ?

[@jamesbennett2164]

This video makes me want to get one. I live my air 2s

[@johnharper9858]

And here I thought you were born with a baseball cap attached! LOL Apparently the glamor mode was successful!

[@cb58016]
