Subscribed for more 😊 great video. Thanks for sharing

[@World_Of_Vlado]

Good video! How did you mount OM 5 in your car?

[@Josh-White]

I think I used the tripod but that solution is not very stable :)

[@bwpage3]

Your video seems to have some bounce in the stabilization? What is the purpose to use a gimble if all the movement is not smoothed out?

[@Josh-White]

Hi bwpage3, in my eyes it remains a $150 gimbal so it won't be completely shock-free. You can of course walk a little more slowly.

[@Madhuriskitchenrecipes]

How lock it ... to work as tripod

[@kenwebb8501]

Many thanks for the great video on the OM 5, Josh. You have a great way of explaining things in simple terms, and the tips you offer are great choices. I haven't purchased the OM 5 as yet, but this video encourages me to do so. Again, thanks a bunch!

[@davidmyers2912]

Josh, I had just re-boxed my OM5 to return it when I saw your video. One of your tips may have just changed my mind on keeping the OM5. Thanks.

[@FamilyFunIRL]

It seems the only way to take a selfie will be with the lower resolution front camera or did you try using the active track for selfie video/pictures using the rear cameras?

[@FamilyFunIRL]

Oh, and nice job on the video :) I enjoyed it. Nice car too!

[@Josh-White]

Thank you! I'm glad you like this video. And we are also very happy with our car :) About taking a selfie: so far I have only been able to do this with the front facing camera. If I want to be in the picture with the other cameras, I use gesture control. That works fine if you are close enough. You can also use the standard iPhone camera and control it remotely with an apple watch.

[@WhereTheLocalsRoam]

These are such great tips, thank you! I just got my DJI OM 5 today and have been playing around with it. I do POV walking videos and wanted something to help minimize the bounce, and I think this does the trick AND comes with some of those really handy tutorials! This is my first gimbal so I'm sure those will end up being pretty useful :)

[@Josh-White]

Nice to hear from you and you make nice POV videos! I will subscribe to your channel!

[@WhereTheLocalsRoam]

@@Josh-White Thank you so much, that's so appreciated!!

[@healingpossibilities44]

I’ll be following you. New gimble opened yesterday and feeling very much out of my depth 😳. Thanks for the tips 🦋

[@EckieOutdoor]

I bought it two weeks ago and am still struggling with it. It doesn't feel natural yet, I'm having real problems with aiming and following things. It feels like it hardly ever does what I want it to do, I am an absolute beginner with gimbals, but very experienced in photo and video shooting. So I am not feeling the click quite yet, but this video already helped me a bit, thanks Josh!

[@gonzalo1972]

Same happened to me. 100% agree. Still trying to find a chance to use it

[@AmieFajardoNZ]

Hello my friend. I have a question to ask. I hope you take notice of it. I have a DJI OM5 and I am a beginner. I want to ask if “ How to make ti stable” when you attach the phone? I found it wiggly? How to stop it from wiggling? Thank you so much for your attention. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I really enjoyed watching it. Have a wonderful day . Kind regards AmieNZ

[@lutephilips5550]

Footage is so bumpy. You have to walk softer.

[@Josh-White]

Thank you for your feedback Lute. I just used the DJI OM5 casually. If you walk more slowly, the videos will undoubtedly remain a bit more stable.

[@herbabbott]

Hi Josh, loved your video, you are very articulate, very intelligent and very perceptive, thank you so much for all of your information …

[@Josh-White]

Wow, that's great to hear! Thank you!! 😃

[@MCVlogsHk]

Hi Josh I recently bought one and it's good you shared this.i haven't even started using it.still need to learn how to. my first gimbal for phone

[@Josh-White]

Nice to hear MC vlogs HK. Be sure to try those quick quides in the DJI Mimo app!

[@GURUNG2899]

Nice one

[@sondrewiden2198]

"Helpful for shooting low angle scenarios" does this mean I can shoot top down video with it? I want to point the camera 90degrees downward for shooting my drawings

[@Josh-White]

Hi Sondre, I haven't tried shooting 90 degrees downward. Did you already had the chance to do this?

[@balfaro209]

This is exactly what I am looking for in a youtube video, just want to see how far it can tilt so I can record my drawings too lol

[@jlwilliams]

I have one and sometimes shoot top-down videos with it. It doesn't tilt down far enough to shoot overheads if the handle is vertical (he does mention this in the video) but will if you mount the handle horizontally. If your *primary* use is shooting overheads, though, it might make more sense to spend the money on something like the Slik creator's kit (basically a vertical arm that clamps to a table plus a horizontal arm for positioning the camera over your drawing area) or a Manfrotto gooseneck (flexible arm that does the same thing.)

[@ShariBarnes]

Great video! Have you tried using this with filters on your iPhone? I also have the 13 Pro Max and wanted to know if it can handle the weight of an added polarized filter on the phone.

[@Josh-White]

Thank you Shari. I have not tried this with any filters on my iPhone. Have you?

[@asia-focus]

I will use these tips; especially about the tall tripod for filming myself away from the scene. Thanks Josh

[@nancy-binspired]

I returned mine today. Could not get it to balance with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Auto calibrated and it still was off balance. I purchased for vlogging with my amazing phone. Too challenging trying to manage this gimbal , wouldn’t lock, track me while walking. Maybe it was defective? It kept doing its own thing.

[@DreamHomesWithAlex]

Since Dji has said that the 13 pro max isn't compatible with the OM5 or 4.. Have you had any issues since the phone is so heavy?

[@MIAMIC70]

Taxing the motors certainly can’t be “good” for the motors can it. When they will fail who knows but the fact is clear that the Pro Max phones exceed DJI’s maximum payload rating and the closer you get to it the worse the gimbal performs.

[@Josh-White]

Hi Alex, thank you for your message. Sunny C and Jorge Morales also pointed this out to me. I didn't know, but I don't experience that much trouble either. Perhaps the gimbal will suffer more in the long run, since the iPhone 13 Pro Max is heavier. In my opinion DJI should have advertised this more clearly.

[@DreamHomesWithAlex]

@@Josh-White agreed. Pro fusion is in a week so we’ll see if Zhiyun or DJi announce a new model for heavier smartphones.

[@DreamHomesWithAlex]

@@MIAMIC70 I 100% agree.

[@Josh-White]

What would you recommend me? Just continue with the OM 5 or just to be on the safe side and wait for the next one?

[@hnnigbo]

I think your video with the mentioned jittery (you even do not realize it) disqualifies your comments a bit, unfortunately. Try the duck walk!!!!

[@Josh-White]

Hi Bernard, thank you for your feedback. I'll keep an eye out for it next time and I'll give the duck walk a try too. I made this video under normal circumstances, so the jittery could also occur more often for normal users in those circumstances. I will come back to it!

[@Sunnyc432]

i've seen several complaints with iphone 13 pro max mounting with om5 on youtube. Do you have any issues with the motor after using it for a while?

[@MIAMIC70]

iPhone 13’s are not officially supported as per DJI. Also, both 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max tax the motors or may exceed the 290 gram max payload of the gimbal as per DJI. Neither which bodes well for stabilization capabilities or life of gimbals motors.

[@Josh-White]

Thanks for sharing this Sunny C and Jorge! I didn't know, but I don't experience that much trouble either. All buttons do what they should. Perhaps the gimbal will suffer more in the long run, since the iPhone 13 Pro Max is heavier. In my opinion DJI should have advertised this more clearly.

[@JEMay2010]

Great video! Question: When using the OM5 app, it makes a brand new folder on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I have hundreds of empty folders! It is a pain to delete them one at a time! Is there any way to make this thing put my videos in one folder? Thanks in advance!

[@ufarm3606]

Nice work bro

[@gunterbruyneel6095]

Your walk is wrong, thats wy your videos have a up and down movement. Try bending your knees when you walk you ahve a better stable video. Look p other videos about this. Keep up the good work and have fun. (Nice Tesla)

[@balleballefilms]

Great

[@supremeFTW]

sorry but this looks awful. its jumpy, its not what I need a gamble for. every stupid GoPro from 4 yrs ago does a better stabilizing job that this rubbish thing.

How do I stop my gimbal from auto rotating? I bought it very recently and still learning its features. I often face issue with auto rotation

[@sverrearnes7769]

I got an OM5, installed the app -- and now it just offers marketing & shit, and I cannot find out how to get into working modus. What do I push?😒

[@NickitaOvhal]

my handle keeps moving a lot..like its not stable..even when the gimbal is switched off..it keeps spinning..can anyone help me why that happens and how can I lock it

[@relocatingtodisney9044]

I thought the point of a gimbal was to take the bounce out of steps when walking. The video bounces as you walk :-(

[@WalkingViolinist]

nice video

[@goboldly5700]

Does the om5 have any issue having the iPhone 12 Pro Max in a otterbox slim case? Will the clamp fit?

Hi Josh, I got DJI 5 today & I saw many videos, most of them using iphone, but I have Android. Is DJI5 compatible with Android or only work with iphone...please let me know brother....

Thank you. I tested it as well but will return it because of the bad stabilization and angles.

[@Josh-White]

Hi Janina, the OM5 does indeed have some limitations. Did you get another smartphone gimbal? If yes, could you share which one?

[@MIAMIC70]

I returned my OM5 piece of crap as well and keep using my OM4. This guy as well as many of the KZbin shills are not really keen on discussing or highlighting the negatives.

Hi Josh, ik twijfel om deze aan te schaffen omdat ik wat negatieve ervaring heb gelezen mbt de magnetische houder bij het gebruik van een hoesje. Ik heb zelf een 13 pro met Apple silicone case. Wat is jouw ervaring hiermee?

[@Josh-White]

Hoi Dutch Globetrotters, met de iPhone 11 en 13 (beide pro max) had ik geen problemen met de OM5 en een silicon en leren case. De selfie stick van de OM5 is handig, maar ik hoor dat de OM4 SE verder kan ronddraaien. Die afweging moet je even maken!

[@nightcruisin]

hmhm.. this shot 6:44 from inside to the outside of the car doesnt look stable at all. Or is it my impression

[@drewksidetour]

Video was bouncy, kind of second guessing if I should buy it

[@_abhishake_]

You have to keep your footsteps light whiile using the gimbal! Thats why your footage is shaky even with the gimbal!

[@Josh-White]

Thank you for your feedback Abhishek Jagtap. I just used the DJI OM5 casually. If you walk more slowly, the videos will undoubtedly remain a bit more stable.

[@eskwadrat]

Good video. The video picture movement up and down when walking disqualifies this gimble completely.

[@Josh-White]

Thank you Suavek. The videos are probably more stable if you walk very carefully, but not everyone will do that I guess!

[@lic4953]

That is a nice video. Do you know that DJI said on the amazon page, OM 5 dosen not compatible with iPhone 13 pro, Do you experience some problem of lost iPhone 13 camera features beside of Cinematic mode? Where is video file in stored while you using Mimo app ? Do you try Mimo manual mode for 4k /24 frames with ISO 100 and 50sec ? How do you set this for wright expersoure since iPhone 13 can not install ND filter. Do you feel lost resolution after applying MIMO app ? Thanks

Hi Li C, when I bought it, I didn't know that the DJI OM5 is not compatible with the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but a number of viewers have already pointed it out to me. I don't have any problems with it, everything just works. I usually use the Mimo app and have not tried the cinematic mode yet. Videos automatically come into my photo album on iPhone.
