DJI OM5 smartphone gimbal with iPhone & Android | IN DEPTH REVIEW

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Congratulations to David J. For winning ULANZI Mystery box. The winner has been notified by responding to his comment

[@mustakmnm7]

Does OM5 support Samsung S20 FE ?

[@hazzrathasdan]

Which one of om 4 or om 5 are more stabler while recording ? Can someone suggest for me 😄

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Om5 is more stable

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Please check compatibility list on their website

[@aerogsat]

@@mustakmnm7 once it works with my Galaxy S8 plus I do not thin you will have issues with S20

[@elliotstern8582]

I’ve commented in the past and always appreciate your responses as well as all your instruction. I DO OWN SEVERAL GIMBALS and the DJI’s are great to use except for the payload which is why I also have the smooth 5. I have the O5 and 4 and they really are alike spec wise except for the battery and the phone charging and the tilt range. BUT, while I did not think the OM5 would be a benefit it turns out that it really is. I am physically challenged in regards bad knees, bad back, and like the OM5 I have a limited range of motion, but for someone with my issues and at the age of 79, the OM5 is allowing me to shoot in so many different ways that I am unable to do with a regular gimbal. I can reach higher, get lower all thanks to the extension and the bend angle on the extension. So you might think about adding that as a plus for the older generation who want to film like the younger generation. ❤️

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing. I enjoy that one as well and I must say yes it is definitely easy to use without much effort

[@user-ls6zl9dn7t]

God bless your age. I wish you a long and healthy life

[@TungLe-en5qd]

Thanks for the very practical/ non biased review. I had decided since the OM5 came out that I would stay with my OM4. Now having seen you demonstrated that some movements are actually downgraded, sticking with the OM4 is a no-brainer.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome… yes I would rather use om4 myself but I know that I will be pushed to film with om5 otherwise people will complain

[@pawewisniewski1562]

This best DJI OM5 review I have seen so far. Very deep and honest. I bought OM4 a week before OM5 come out - I have no remorse anymore, OM5 is not for me. Many thanks for your work. Pozdrowienia z Warszawy.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for your support and many greetings back to you

[@BiggestBullsOfTheWorld]

Planning to buy the OM 5. This video cleared so many confusions. Thank you so much.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome

[@thetrimtab]

Thank you so much, Zdenka for doing this indeed in-depth review. My LIKE is for you, your effort and your video, NOT for the DJI OM5. Since the launch, I have been watching KZbin videos on the product but uh... as I have said before, no one was able to honestly talk about the pros and cons especially truthful weaknesses. There are many new features added yet many significant ones still lacking. Worse, it is priced so much higher than the OM4 previously yet many great features on the OM4 are no more available on the OM5 like the USB port to charge your phone and more significantly, exposing the gimbal when you do the full spin. OMG. This has to be THE VIDEO anyone MUST WATCH prior to considering or purchasing the OM5. Listen to this lady. You can never go wrong.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Absolutely agreed

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome. I am being honest and I guess that is why they don’t want to work with me 😂😂😂

[@pie9145]

Came here for a detailed OM5 review and did not get dissapointed. Thank you! This is the phone gimbal that I need.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome

[@JOSEIGNACIOPaseos]

Thanks for the video, I was planning to buy the DJI OM4 and this video has confirmed my decision, the OM5 has no advantage, just a stick that can be replaced by monopods and the like. It has little battery, the grip is worse, it has less travel, it is more expensive. All the best.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. I think you will be happy with your decision

[@HighOnLifeInCanada]

Great honest review. I have also sold my OM4 on facebook marketplace and bought the new OM5 just for the selfie stick. It is so good and we do not have to carry a tripod everywhere.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Great stuff…. Enjoy!

[@jamesskintauy6773]

I have the OM4 and not enough of an upgrade to justify the OM5. If I considered another phone gimbal right now, it would probably be the Hohem V2. Love that AI tracking feature that can be used in any app.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing

[@artisticpicture]

Very informative! When you take a Clone picture, what kind of resolution do you get? I was only able to 2895 × 767, too low a resolution.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Yes it is a lower resolution

[@artisticpicture]

@@ZdenkaDarula I am sorry to hear that. Wondering why it cannot be better.

[@gr8northernpike]

I’m pretty happy with my OM3, and I’m grateful to you for all the info. Appreciate your efforts.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I am glad you are enjoying your gimbal. Have a great weekend

[@Jasbo001]

Same, still enjoying my OM3. I can’t see any major reason to upgrade yet. The evolutionary minor changes aren’t enough to shift the dial.

[@lictorfigueroa1878]

The review I’ve been waiting for! I got the OM 5 a couple days ago and I definitely see the lower amount of up and down movement.. I will have to test it out and see if the selfie stick is worth losing that amount of movement.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing…. Yes the tilt is disappointing

[@MsTiktock]

I just watched a video talking about how most people are holding the OM5 incorrectly & that's why the range of motion is limited. instead of holding it vertically, try holding it horizontally, outward from your body. I hope this helps!

[@lagunamike48]

Zdenka, you are my hero! After dozens of emails back and forth with DJI support, you solved my problem with my S20FE - old app on the play store. That did it. Thanks!!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome. It’s quite sad that I have nothing to do with DJI but I am answering questions which their technical support should do…. That shows quite a bit about the company

[@behramcooper3691]

With stabilisation and tracking built-in most off the modern phones, does one still require a gimbal to keep the video steady? I am thinking of acquiring a Samsung S22 Ultra but I'm not sure whether I will still require a Gimbal. I believe the stabilisation on that phone is pretty good.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

The best would be just look at the phone first and see how you like it. Then you can make a decision if you need a gimbal or not… best wishes

[@_callme_sk_]

Researching on DJI OM 5 from last 3 weeks and all of sudden youtube recommended this video. I really appreciate the in-depth analysis of of OM 5 for both users users. Finally I ordered the DJI om 5 for Android one as beginner. Hope developers may enable Manual Modes and many more for Android line. Peace out.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much.. enjoy your new gimbal

[@new_england_times553]

Thanks again. Love your reviews. You give so much info, and you do it with out putting in things we don't really want to know. I bought the DJI OM4 because of your review and hope to post more videos as I get better with my technique.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

Bought a Galaxy s-22 and looking for the best phone gimbals and watching the video. what you suggest to me. I never used gimbals

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I unfortunately don’t know what is compatible with your phone as I don’t have it…. Just make sure you look into maximum payload…. Otherwise any should be good

[@mattplechan2967]

thank you , great video. Do you ever do a step by step using the lens, with gimbal and more in depth, or previous videos you can recommend. So the 4 is still likely the winnder in most aspects

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Here is playlist of all videos like that kzbin.info/aero/PLZPNJcTtcV-9IFdom03msUGf6cQzTqiNZ

[@RobinGroenevelt]

Pro tip: when you walk with a gimbal point it forward instead of keeping it vertical. This will remove some of the bounce. GREAT REVIEW!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

absolutely that is what I said many times in lots of my videos... . this one is sadly not that smooth... Friday will show many samples....

[@RobinGroenevelt]

@@ZdenkaDarula Yeah, it's really a pain not being able to point it forward.

[@GeekBoi]

I really like the included extension on this one. I have the OM4 right now and the few times I have screwed that onto a stick with a tripod base it was too unstable for my comfort. Also holding the selfie stick with the gimbal on the end gets tiring quite quickly. Since they don't seem to have done anything for android users and they have lowered the range of motion I'm not sure I am going to upgrade. And I most certainly wont until they get the correct app in the play store.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts

[@SavageScientist]

Great video i just bought the OM 5 i saw a compatibility list and only apple supports 4k60

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Yes that’s true. It is pretty much build mainly for Apple phones

Hi Zdenka I just got dji 5 and I have galaxy s9plus is there any other gimble with all the scinematic apps without wifi connection.

Which wireless mic is best to use with iPhone 13pro max and Om5 for outdoor travel Vloger. Main purpose noise cancellation, clear voice, and easy movement of iPhone, vertically and horizontally while using with Om5

[@monjesmedia]

Thank you for the review. I currently own a DJI OM4. I am curious if I can swap OM4 phone clip with the upgraded version that comes with the OM5.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I not sure if they sell it separately

[@BreakawayBites]

My DJI Osmo Mobile 3 just gave up on me,,,, so yeah,.... Look like OM5 should do the trick....Thanks for your hard work again.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome. Sorry to hear about your old Gimbal

[@onlykts]

Thanks but what is your recommendation what is gimbal?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

All the gimbals are pretty much good… it depends what features you are looking for

[@SteveWilkinsonBanjo]

I am using IPhone 13 Pro with Moment ThinCase with the OM-5. What do you think about removing the small piece of padding on the OM-5 clamp, on the part the grips the Moment case, in order to have a better grip on the case?? Sometimes I find that the case is not seating FLAT on the clamp. Not sure how this micht be affecting the use of the gimbal features, but I am concerned that the danger of the phone falling out of the clamp is greater. What do you think? Thanks so much. I am learning so much from your work on KZbin. I feel like I am so far behind in this world....

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing… I know someone removed it as well but I have no clue.. I certainly don’t want to advice you to do it. Contact DJI and ask them as they are the only ones to really answer that….

[@yutumedia]

A fantastic review. Better than youtuber with millions of followers. Don't worry, they will come. 😊

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for your support…. I am not in rush ….as long as I can pay bills I am happy.

[@Ryutai7]

Really appreciate these reviews that include real criticisms. I bought a Hohem V2 recently. Then I saw the OM5 and panicked, thinking maybe I should return the V2. But I like being able to switch modes outside of the included app and the powerbank function (4k 60 fps drains my battery FAST) Thinking I'll stick with the Hohem. Only drawback is the limited tilt, but maybe that's not such a big deal? 🤔

[@ZdenkaDarula]

This is an interesting timing to read this comment. I was trying to record myself for tutorial with dji and got frustrated over the frame.. s I reached to Hohem where I can adjust framing while it is following you… Hohem is small but great

[@pbartkus]

What a great, exhaustive, and honest review. Thank you, Zdenka!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

[@mikefaulkner9447]

Zdenka, as always a great review. I've learnt so much from you over the past six months or so, but I have a question. I am using an iPhone 11 (upgrading to a 13 early next year) and a DJI OM4. I'm looking for a variable ND filter for the phone, there seem to be quite a few with some poor reviews online. What would you reccommend?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I have them listed below the video…. Highly recommend those.. look for Moment VND

[@sambradly6663]

[@sargearea51]

Ahoy, I love your channel and have a question for you that I don't think you have heard before. I have the Dji Om4 and like you the clip for my Galaxy Note 10 Plus in a protective case doesn't hold very good. My question is can you use the OM5 magnetic clip on the OM4?. Will you please test it since you have both?. Let us all know as I think other subscribers will also want to know. Keep the videos coming.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Yes you can use them both

[@anilkantamneni8962]

That was really informative. I have Samsung S21 Ultra 5g, Is this good for Samsung or what gimbal would you refer me to....

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You might have a big heavy phone for this… just check the weight and compare to maximum payload….

I'm still using the OM 3 and am more than happy with it. It meets all of my needs very well. No upgrade for me this time.

Hello Zdenka! Thanks for another honest review. I have an old DJI gimbal that was clunky (didn't use much) and looking to upgrade to a more compact model so I can use for travel. I have android phone note 9. I have seen the Hohem V2, X2 and X as well. Now I'm all confused. Should I get dji OM4, hohem v2, X2 or X for a reliable, compact gimbal? Thanks in advance. I'm not an advance user, but want to learn more and make better travel videos.

[@theresauharris479]

Any insight you can provide is appreciated.

[@richardcontant-adams9141]

Thank you for your very informative video. I’m having difficulty deciding between the OM4 and OM5 for my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The lighter weight, telescopic selfie stick and improved magnetic clamp design are definitive plus points of the OM5 for me. However, where I live, the OM 5 costs around 50% more than the OM4 and I’m asking myself: is it worth spending this much more…?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

If you have such a heavy phone I would honestly suggest to get OM4. I noticed that the motors have a hard time with big phones on OM5. Best of luck

[@carlosread5887]

I use the OM4. It is a little bulky when folded, so I am tempted to sell it and get the OM5. Also, for those close to the ground, or over the heads clips, I have to carry a monopod, and with the OM5 i would't have to. my biggest complaint, though, is with the app: all icons are too small, and that makes it difficult to see, specially in very bright sunlight scenarios. I wish DJI made the app easier to read. As for battery performance, I never go filming for 15 hours, so I don't care they have reduced battery size, thus filming time. Thanks for the review!

I have to questions regarding the hardware of the OM5: 1. Simon from mobile motion mentioned that the gimbal scratches on its base when not pushed out a little. Could this solve your problem? 2. could the tilt be enhanced when tilting it manually in the top joint?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately no…, the sound comes out very clearly from both axis. Once you put it close to your ear you know immediately. I sadly noticed today that the sound is being recorded in the video when you film with smartphone….. not always but sometimes does in quiet room…. No tilt cannot be increased…. Doesn’t matter if you physically tilt it….

I would look at the Hohem isteady V2 or Zhiyun smooth Q3… I reviewed them both recently

[@StarWarsJay]

Sorry to ask again, but I’m not sure I understand. Does5his gimbal have one less axis than it’s previous versions? I still have the three and I don’t want to waste money on this if I don’t have to. Thanks for a great video!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Yes this is 3 axis … exactly the same just on added selfie stick

[@StarWarsJay]

@@ZdenkaDarula hmmm, I might have to invest. I can see the extendable stick being handy for high, looking down shots without using a monopod.

[@juneluv69]

Question can u use the gimble n use ur regular video camera from ur phone...? Or u have to use the app to video record..just curious

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Yes you can but if you want to switch gimbal mode you have to go to DJI app

[@juneluv69]

Thank you

Hi Zdenka, What program do you use for editing your video for IPhone? Thank you

I bought the OM5 for skateboarding and for travel. After watching a few reviews it seems the OM4 would have been the better choice, not only for the integrated power bank feature, but because of the better vertical angle, the OM5s angle is for real very small. Its just fine when i angle the knee at the telescope arm correctly, but in cases its not correctly set i often run out of vertical angle. have to test it on the next weekend properly, especially with the main reason for skateboarding: following the friends, im anyways not a good skater lol.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing

[@HenriqueValcanaia]

Is having integrated power bank really a good trade off? What dies first, phone or gimbal?

[@harrison00xXx]

@@HenriqueValcanaia OM5s battery is small and it would die nearly as fast as the phone. But considering 4k video and bright screens... phones die typically faster than the OM4 would since it stilll has a huge battery in it! I just sold my OM5 and got a 2nd hand OM4 with money left. OM5 was a dissapointment in long term. Much more vertical angle, as good as the OM5 at least, and the slightly bigger weight and size doesnt hurt much. But i have to say - i never used the charging/powerbank feature of the gimbal yet except for tested it - a dedicated, proper powerbank just charges faster which i want on the go! Like this you dont have to care about the OM4s battery... as long you have more than 20-30% battery left, you are good to go. OM5s battery on the other side... if you are out for a whole day, make sure its charged 100%, this mini battery dies "fast"! The telescope arm of the OM5 was nice, but in overall not worth the tradeoffs in my opinion (better a proper, lightweight telescope arm mounted on the gimbals bottom or just a pvc pipe or wooden stick xD)

[@chrisjohnston964]

Another great review, Zdenka! I'm really surprised you can actually see the gimbal arm when rotating on the OM5. That's a BIG slip up for DJI. From the perspective of someone exclusively using Filmic Pro to film footage (scenery, products, other people) on an iPhone, which gimbal would you recommend? I don't think I necessarily need all the bells and whistles on the OM5, just good stabilization, 24 fps and 1/48 shutter speed, and shooting modes. (I'm not a selfie shooter) PS - Did I hear you say you'll be getting an iPhone 13 soon? I can't wait to see that review!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for your comment. I would go either with Zhiyun smooth Q3 or previous version DJI OM4

[@chrisjohnston964]

@@ZdenkaDarula Thanks for your feedback. I like that the Zhiyun smooth Q3 has the shooting modes accessible right on the gimbal via a physical button (and no "phone only" magnetic clamp). DJI seems to have a much larger following, which leads me to believe that it is more "refined" from a technological standpoint. Which one do you personally prefer using when working with Filmic Pro?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

@@chrisjohnston964 Zhiyun.... DJI has excellent marketing which misleads many people. However I strongly believe that very soon the market will turn around. I see Zhiyun making huge changes

[@westbay5858]

Regarding the magnetic clamp ... I tried it on a iPhone 13 pro with a OEM Apple case and I find the clamp does not Fully grab the phone. Also the Apple case is slick so the clamp can slide and could fall off. Maybe not right away but after awhile it can slide. It is not deep enough and with the angle , it does not grab above the lip on phone to secure. I find I have to now take phone out of the case and then attach magnetic holder. This works fine but a pain to have to remove from protective holder.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing… I know what you mean

[@Peekaboo890]

Can you use it as a regular tripod without turning it on? Or does it flop around and doesn’t hold the phone horizontally when off?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

No it is a gimbal…. You need to use tripod instead

[@Amazonagent]

Thank you for mentioning the Android app issue, you are the only one I've seen mention this. I tired using my Pixel 4A on my friends new OM5 and we had the same issue connecting the Bluetooth. I just thought my phone was not compatible, didn't know the google play app was not up to date. Thank again for this video!

You are very welcome

[@mikemuponda1781]

Wow I am more impressed with the reviewer, what a great job and straight to the point.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for your support…. I try my best 😉

[@stedmaster]

Hey, just a thought, you can get a wireless Bluetooth remote and software on your phone for onscreen controls, its what some gamers use, try this software with the native camera app so you can hold the gimbal in one hand or on a pod, then use a small wireless remote in the other hand to use the native zoom and camera functions once you set up on screen controls and program what does what with the remote..

[@ZdenkaDarula]

It is better to get Hohem gimbal instead…. It has it all

[@stedmaster]

@@ZdenkaDarula It appears that none of the gimbal apps can utilise the telephoto or mechanical zoom of the camera unlike the native camera app. Hohems remote only controls the gimbal, it also only uses digital zoom. I'm taking about controlling the phones native camera app with a remote using on screen software, while also using the gimbal, it would mean you get the best of both worlds

[@michaelajw]

Great review as always. I am debating whether to buy a DJI OM5 or an DJI OM4SE. The problem I have with both of these is that neither of the compatibility lists for these gimbals include my phone (a POCO X3 Pro with Android 11 and MIUI Global 12.5.3 Stable)). I have installed the Mimo app from the DJI site and that opens and allows me to view the tutorials etc but of course without a gimbal I am limited to what I can do! Do you know what gimbal functionality will be available with my phone and perhaps more importantly what will not work? I have contacted DJI support but have had no response. Any help would be appreciated.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately I’m not able to tell you if it as compatible as I don’t have that phone. You can always try and if it doesn’t work for you or you can return it. Just make sure you check return policy

[@CSI-London]

Great review and comparison between OM4 and OM5. Having had my OM5 for a couple of days and having noticed the issue you highlighted with regard to the pan motor especially with relationship to smoothness of operation, I am now aware it is not just an issue I have with my unit. It is also noticeable no other reviews on KZbin picked up on this issue. I would say this would be a deal breaker for me if the OM4 had the tracking ability of the OM5. In regard to the battery life. I believe the OM5 can still be used when attached to a battery bank, so I use a Ulanzi battery stick mounted directly to the 1/4 screw on the gimbal. Allowing me to both charge the phone or the gimbal as needed and then attach to a tripod stand. My final point regarding the limits of the tilt function. This is restrictive in certain circumstances. Only other function I would like is to have an adjustable pan speed set by use of a slider rather than a three option setting. I find the slowest setting to still be to fast when wanting a very slow pan option. Once again great review.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing…. Sadly other new gimbals I introduced this year in the channel have all these problems solved

[@CSI-London]

@@ZdenkaDarula Due to what I cover from a journalist slant, which can be rather dynamic and despite having other gimbals, the game changer was the magnetic mount system which has made all the difference. Having the ability to have the phone mounted correctly in the clamp without the need to rebalance every time I remove the phone from the gimbal, means I can move quickly around a scene without leaving the phone attached to the gimbal and no setup time when I reposition. I also use the gimbal in conjunction with a stills camera mounted together and by setting a static target to track. I can move my stills camera to get a shot whilst the gimbal will remain on target so enabling me to capture video simultaneously and have some flexibility capturing stills. Finally, I use the gimbal when the phone is not attached as a camera handle for my stills camera. So if I need to record video I can quickly attach the phone and still gets still images. It will be interesting to see how other manufacturers respond. But unless they employ a similar quick detach mounting system, those which do not will add an additional inconvenience. It will be interesting to see their next offerings.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

@@CSI-London thank you very much for sharing…. So far it seems like this year each manufacturer is going their own direction…. I am looking forward to comparing all 2021 gimbals together… that will be interesting

[@LonelyWolfJ]

Hello there! I have a few questions but first, nice name! I am from Slovenia we have a lot of Zdenkas here! I am watching your videos for the very first time and I gotta say its really informative! A lot of people that review different products miss information or I feel like I need something more after I watch them, but with you I got all technical information! But I still have a question. I am usually working on different small products, props and replicas, minis, statues and then I film them with my Samsung device. A few years back I actually got a hand on DJI Osmo 3 and it felt really good, but that device was owned by my university and now I am thinking of buying my own for that kinds of shots and to get really that smooth, smooth shot! Now the problem I see with OM5 is the tilt angle because I usually film really flat objects I film them with camera recording face down. Back on OM3 this was not a problem but with om 5 I am not really sure! And right now because of black friday deals I can get om3 for 80€ when OM5 costs me 160€. The only thing that I miss with OM3 would be extention stick but thats mostly it. So tell me, for this kind of situation what would you choose? Which option would be better. Thank you a lot and keep up the good work!

[@Remixah2008]

Thank you so much for this very good review. Now I'm feared of buying the OM5 with IPhone 13 pro. I will use the filmic pro app and toggle modes with the stick without starting the memo app. Please can you tell me if the OM4 is still compatible with IPhone 13 Pro camera app and Filmic pro? Switching modes without app? And can I use the new clamp from the OM5 on the OM4 Gimbal? Thank you very much.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately DJI gimbals don’t allow switching modes outside of DJI app. I would check other gimbals which are compatible with Filmic pro if that is what you want to film at …. Zhiyun smooth 5 is very good option too

You're the first one to point out that the new clamp is improved and different. Most ohers reviews said that the clamps are same and interchangeable between om4 and om5, which I'm sure they are but that’s not the point.
