DJI OM4 Smartphone Gimbal - A Review and Complete Tutorial

[@diaakukita]

This is the Clearest review of osmo mobile 4 that makes my decision to buy this gimble

[@tourwithatul6123]

Did you buy? Which phone you are using with gimble

[@debbyl1245]

I have recently been doing my homework on Gimbals and as you said, this made it clear this is a good investment and the one to buy.

[@vadkapuramchandramouli9555]

Which mobile did u using ?

[@IslandDigital]

I have a BRAND NEW one in a sealed box for sale , send offers please :)

[@markkempton4579]

This was very educational for me. I had no idea these were motorized or software-driven. I thought gimbals were just gravity-controlled with really low-friction ball bearings to keep the object level. This has opened a whole new world for me.

[@miyannaable]

I just found one of these refurbished by the company (I've actually had some really good experiences with this - I'm a true bargain-hunter). I know this video has been out for a while, but I just wanted to express my appreciation for how nicely done and helpful this tutorial is. When I get mine in the mail, I'll be watching this again - Thank You!!

[@nemusworld]

My DJI OSMO will come today! You saved me. Its my first gimbal. I just save this for my watch later again! this is so far the best review of the DJI OSMO4 so far. Thank youuuuuu

[@NickonStark]

I literally ordered the Osmo 3 last week and Amazon cancelled my order YESTERDAY due to an error. it's my lucky day I guess cause I'm gonna be ordering this one right now.

[@AshSha248]

I ordered the 3 from Amazon a few weeks ago and returned it today. Something told me to wait. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@midvalleydrones5854]

Great tutorial Russ

[@AdebolaAdenuga]

i bought the OSMO 3. two days later I got a notification that the OM4 was released. I wasted no time returning the OSMO 3 and pre-ordered the OM4.

[@GetOutSmore]

I just ordered the Osmo Mobile 3 for $99 with a 32 gb sd card and a carry case. Figured this model isn’t worth a 50% price premium.

[@Youno954]

That’s the first time I watch a Smartphone Gimbal review and i am just amazed. I have an Iphone 11 pro max and i think it’s time to sell my Gopro and get this gimbal for my iphone.

[@mikenichols5796]

also .. iphone max pro 12 great combo as the 12 pro has great stabilization any way .. amazing

[@aloobi]

This is the only video you need to watch about the OM4.

[@oneDonly]

Thanks for telling me.

[@raymondoartwork5619]

This is the only video where you learn everything which is important about the OM4. Thank you for that!

[@rogerdickinson920]

No it's not, there are things that are missed that others pick up. Non of the 3 or 4 vids I've seen cover everything, Make your notes and compare vids. You not only need to know how to do something but how to stop the procedure,

[@krakentowa8727]

I wish I’d seen this when I first got mine.

[@nezzled]

@@rogerdickinson920 🤓

[@thailybarba8194]

I’ve just bought and I still learning more about it but the little things that I could do already made me proud 🤩✨

[@encourageyu]

The reason why the bottom is not flat is to prevent people from trying to use it without a large base. The force moving the phone would just knock if over. Great video. Also note the software for Android is no longer in the play store and has to be side loaded

[@JeepTJWheelin]

This is exactly what I was going to post. This is DJI covering themselves for a multitude of negative feedback.

[@photographytechman6300]

Great video thank you. I’ve upgraded from the zhiyun smooth 4 to this gimbal based on it having good reviews and because of this video. I’ve upgraded because I have several DJI products: action cam, drone, osmo pocket and now this gimbal. Your video was EXTREMELY informative and seeing the gimbals features on the video sold it to me..THAAAAAAAAAANNNNKKK YOOOOOU

[@spartacusronas]

I have been a photo hobbyist for about 40 years. I just had my 3rd stroke and am disabled and shake pretty bad. I use my 12 pro max now but my photos and videos suffered due to my physical limitations. The OM-4 was the clear choice for me based on 2 months of research. I agree 100% with your conclusions about the device. Great for the money and makes it easier to get GREAT shots. Even I can do it :)

[@emilythechef]

I just bought the OM4 because I foster kittens and I was looking for a gimbal to help me when I do Facebook live with them. I know nothing about video making, but I didn’t think the investment was too big if it helped me. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@Quadcopterguide]

Congrats Russ! Fantastic Review, glad you got one early my friend! Stepping up your video game. Nice!

[@sheezygirl1016]

How do you use this to go live on fb or KZbin?

[@SteveH-TN]

Finally ordered a DJI OM4se after flying DJI Mavic and Mavic Mini. I have watched & enjoyed many of your flying videos. Was happy to discover yet another series of videos produced by you. Thanks once again for your excellent information !

[@stevejorde]

Just ordered mine yesterday. I have and love the OM-3 so I'm really excited to do some B-Rolls and other videos with this new device on my Samsung S20 Ultra.

[@1blackballed]

How is the app working with your Samsung ultra? Heard it doesn't work great with Android...I have a s20 and thinking about getting one

[@GraysonBerryPensacola]

That was seriously fantastic. I bought the Om 4 already but the 2nd half of the video is basically the perfect instruction manual for most features. Thank you!

[@AdnanAbbasi_LXXVIII]

Great video as usual Russ, to the point and sweet. OM4 sounds very tempting especially with the Dynamic Zoom feature and CloneMe Effect and the clamp might be enough features for me to buy me an OM4 :-)

[@JeepTJWheelin]

Concise, no fluff, very descriptive and informative, great video!

[@smallsouthernlawn6909]

I’m loving my OM3 and don’t see enough value yet to upgrade. Thanks for putting this together and keep bringing the great content as always.

[@lambotama]

It's literally the exact same thing but with a magnetic mount

[@ChrissienicholsonWild]

I just got my OM 4 and had no clue....this vid is super clear on how to get started. Saved for future use!

[@nathanimalTheAnimal]

This thing is really amazing. The tracking and stabilization exceeded my expectations. I managed to capture professional video with minimal effort. Can't say enough good things about this product.

[@mywalksinparadise]

Thanks so much for the help, I went to this from the Hohem ISteady Mobile + as my IPhone 12 521GB ProMax was too heavy. Helps so much & people on my TikTok lives always comment on how I'm such a smooth walker lol. Also, never even saw the USB charging port, I guess because it blends right in, so THANKS for that too!

[@jpmcnown1]

Excellent production quality, thank you for putting in the work making this!

[@davebear6312]

Great video! Just purchased the OM 4..... 3 Words.... Love Love Love. Definitely worth it!

[@djtoman6875]

I didn't think the OM3 was enough of an upgrade over the 2, but I think the compactness and improved functionality of the OM4 justify an upgrade. Looking forward to testing it out with my iPhone Xr with Moment anamorphic lens.

[@orrtrainingcamp4949]

Best review I have ever seen. Video was clear and thorough. This helped me a lot because I just purchased this model. Thank you

[@AgeofRogerio]

The dyna zoom is available for the Osmo Mobile 3 too....😁

[@Imran-Amir]

I just purchased this OM4 and ur video is the first ever i have seen and thank you so much now i know how i will enjoy my gimbal

[@josh_rit8045]

For the record u can use the adhesive magnet on a phone with a case. Idk y u dont think so but I just thought I'd let u know.

[@stevies.1975]

This is fine if you don’t use wireless charging. Otherwise it doesn’t work.

[@stephenfurlong8947]

Excellent video! I watched a bunch of videos before seeing yours and. as somebody else noted, your video is really the only one you need to watch to understand what the OM4 can do and how to do it. Great job!

[@bluesteeltraining]

Mine arrives tomorrow and I really wasn’t looking forward to figuring it all out on my own since the features seem endless. This video is a big relief and will definitely save time and make the learning more enjoyable. Just as with my first Mavic Pro, you’ve once again saved me a lot of headaches Russ!

[@tuliobenavidez9952]

I understand

[@rockiereachalesmith2584]

Just got my Om4 yesterday. I'm a Newby. Hoping it is a game-changer in my industry. thank you so much for the intro and I'll be following along to learn everything about this gadget. Thanks again. Rockie

[@Gil_Gilbert]

Talked me into ordering one. 😁👍

[@caseyolson0369]

Got mine yesterday. Already planning big things with it. Watch a couple tutorials and you will get the hang of it. From there....go for it and have fun. I love it.

[@yamipapiii]

The clearest review out here! exactly what I was looking for

[@goldenguy62]

Just requested one for my Birthday in March. Saved the video to watch over and over until I can operate it right out of the box. This video will definitely shorten the learning curve! Great content!

[@timgalletas3856]

Interesting concept. I’m happy with my OM3 but I would rather want an updated gimbal a 360 ration option. Looking forward for the next osmo pocket and hoping it has 360.

[@tabithagabriel2904]

Thank You for video .Just ordered my gimbal yesterday it will be arriving Friday. Excited n can't wait to use it.

[@Netscorer]

Great review. Very impressed by the sound quality when you were filming outdoors with Rode wireless mic. May look into that. Question on the new OM 4. How does magnetic mount handle heavier phones like iPhone 11 Pro Max with case when the gimbal is subjected to shaking (Running, driving or maybe even riding the roller coaster 🎢 )? Have you been able to test what are the limits on the magnet holding under extreme conditions?

[@GBoyNWC]

It's especially good for the 11 Pro Max

[@Utkarshn]

iPhone 11 Pro Max user here. Literally stopped video midway to switch to amazon and purchase it! Thank you. You have a new sub :)

[@Quake210]

Just snagged one! When will you do a comparison of the OM4 vs the Osmo Pocket?

[@51Drones]

Great idea!

[@tominthenorth]

I've been thinking of the OM4. You helped me make up my mind. Thanks for the great content.

[@JOECorsoNova]

The reason you need the tripod is because it would become top heavy without it, it would fall over as soon as the phone moved, not sure I’d consider that a negative. Great review, very thorough!

[@drea_thehippie]

Its definitely a positive. I have both the Omso 2 and OM 4, I would always hate that I couldnt stand my Omso 2 up on its base.

[@-zach-crook-]

Nice. I want one now! Excellent review. You’re a great teacher and mentor. I love all you do, Russ. Thank you.

[@RennydosSantos]

Why not stick the magnet to the iPhone case back, instead of directly to the phone back, if want to keep phone protected?

[@iRoc23]

Dji Intructions clearly states not to do that

[@carolineashbourne]

I wondered the same, esp as I already had a magnetic disk on back of case for my in car magnetic phone holder. Once I connected my phone app to the gimbal, it came up with the error that there was additional vibration detected and did I have it connected to case rather than directly to phone? Erm... yep. Worth a try, but it knew the difference and didn't like it lol

[@nicklumb1387]

@@carolineashbourne Thank you for asking my question! I wonder if it is the case or if the DJI magnet is stronger than the in-car magnetic phone holder magnet?

[@tomvanzyl8867]

I was not sure as to get one, as I create shoots with my car, but after your video, I’m sold! I definitely buying one now. Thanks so much. 🙏🏻

[@UtsabRocks]

👌👌 Super

[@davesmith7351]

It's great to see 51 Drones making awesome use of his. Incredible stuff. My experience, sadly wasn't good... and had to return it. I so wanted to love this thing but it was more a source of bottomless frustration.

[@RohirNaik]

The negative Point is good for you. As DJI don't want your gimbal to break :-D

[@markkendrick01]

Excellent promo video and tutorial! I have recently purchased the Osmo mobile 4 and could not be more pleased.

[@jawny407]

This video is amazing man! So informative and simple to learn! After watching this video, I KNEW U has to get the OM 4! Thank you again for the great video!

[@GmanfromTexas]

Great Instruction video. I watched it for a refresher before my wedding gig today.

[@Bozza50]

This was one of the best video'sI have watched in terms of quality, content and length. `i am digging out the rest of your content. Thank you. MM (UK)

[@paulognf]

The best OM4 review and tutorial! Excellent!

[@thebellamayra]

Thank for sharing all the information I’m horrible for technology. I’m getting mine today I’ll be saving this video to rewatch over and over

[@epicmercury333]

Final unboxed mine today. Your video is very informative and will certainly help me get the most out of it. Thank you.

[@HunterVisionProductions]

Great tutorial, Thanks! I had this product for 2 days and you explained a lot. The dynamic zoom does not give the vertigo effect on android. I hope DJI corrects this. It was one of the reasons I brought this gimbal.

[@billmcavoy5056]

I’m really enjoying the OM4 and this upload sealed the deal on me getting it. I use the iPhone 11 Pro Max and prefer the wireless charging feature on it almost exclusively … unfortunately the stick on ring interferes with wireless charging - so don’t use the ring if you use wireless chargers. The clamp works very well and the motors cope if you don’t get it PERFECTLY balanced and centred on the gimbal. I’m happy with my purchase and after just one day using, really happy with the results. Many thanks for the tutorial.

[@tamimaltamimi1110]

I bought it and I am loving it. It allows me to take cinematic shots and my family and friends are impressed with my Snapchat videos.

[@St4rr___]

Instant sub these videos make everything so clear i love it

[@patrickbrady8326]

Packed with information video I just purchased the DJI OM 4 and after your video I am excited to get going with it thank you!

I've just received this OM4 gimbal, and this tutorial helps a lot!! Thank you!!!

[@unsalvadorenoenaustralia638]

I’ll receive mine today, so, I saved this video on Watch Later to learn how to use it, thanks for sharing this video, big hug from Australia 🇦🇺

[@krakentowa8727]

Legend. Wish I’d watched you video earlier. My OM4 has been sitting there mostly unused because it wasn’t intuitive out of the box. Now I’m excited to use it. Thank you.

[@shaynestephens]

Yes! Great video! I have the OM4 and I believe it is well worth the $149.00. You can now take a much more steady video with your cell phone (I too have the iPhone 11 Pro Max) while walking and enjoying the outdoors. In the past I have tried making videos while walking through the woods where I grew up. One path was a favorite of hundreds of young people going to and from school over decades and I wanted to video it so all those student can relive fond memories. It was a much more convenient shortcut than walking the village streets and it was ALWAYS safe. Anyway, my videos have always come out with the "walking/bobbing" motion inherent in most less expensive video cameras even with minor stabilization. I can't wait to try videoing the path while using the OM4! It will be AWESOME!

[@philliptatum2682]

Just recently ordered the OM3 and now will order the OM4!! Fantastic video...extremely professionally done!! Thank you, Phil Kentucky

[@nooksmalaysiaproperties3414]

I just received mine today and I had to look up an easier way of doing this. This video definitely inspired me to think outside of anything I had in mind, currently. Thank you !

[@kingrastatv802]

This is definitely the best review on this Gimbal u earned a sub and you convinced me the OM 4 is the gimbal i’m going to buy 💪🏿

[@gpaula2232]

I love my OM4, take it on all our family vacations. Appreciate all the tips!

Just purchased the OM4. Have not used it yet. After watching this video I am very excited to get out and start shooting with it thank you for the valuable content.

[@assistdelrey]

Mine is on the way. I have the Hohem iSteady mobile and I've not been happy with it, so looking forward to the DJI. The quality of your videos has steadily improved over the years! Keep up the great work.

[@AhSatanT]

I just started a return on the hohem isteady plus because it hardly ever connects to my Samsung!! I had such high hopes for it but it drops connection so easily and it was so frustrating. Just ordered this one to try and I'm hoping it will be a lot better

[@AL-tc7ci]

Your tutorial helps alot. Just got my om4, love it .

[@GeneMoretti]

I just bought the OM4 SE model for $99 on Amazon. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the video 51 Drones.

[@Hello_there_obi]

I you are going to use it beyond anything but walking with slow subjects, return it. Save the money and return it. I bought it and it had some glaring flaws that no youtube reviewer has seemed to pick up on because it seems to me that they only test them a little in their own backyard and then go through company talking points. The biggest issue is vertical tilt. It only tilts up and down by 30 degrees which is terrible. The most basic gimbal shot is going from low to high or high to low. With the way the handle is designed, when you hold it even at waist height, it constantly points to the ground and cannot look up enough so all you get is ground shots. Next, when you use follow mode (it looks where you point it), it constantly needs recentering. This makes it very irritating and jerky to use. And the tracking is diabolical. If you are moving and your subject it, the moment it loses tracking (which is will easily), it doesn't revert back to follow mode like you would expect a sensible design to do. It just goes haywire and points in all directions. If you are holding it at chest height and doing ninja walks whilst filming static or slow subjects, it will do the job. Anything beyond that though, it is utterly useless with the vertical tilt and centering issues.

[@slappymcslapster8845]

Just got mine a few days ago! Going to watch this sucker from end to end more than once. Thank you!
