[@WillManuel]

This video is a million times more informative than the one from DJI. Thanks brother!

[@EvanThomas]

Thanks Will!

[@SOULSafeProductionZ]

Absolutely! Just wish KZbin wasn't bastard greedy and felt the need to inundate us with stupid ads!

[@kashiacave0284]

Agreed

[@aorjuela1]

Quick suggestion: Since the grip is not as desirable as could be, I used a tennis racquet overgrip to give a a more firm grip. (About $2)

[@EvanThomas]

If you are interested in buying the Osmo, please purchase through this link to support my channel :) click.dji.com/AJDP4-kASnzN1RvXeNPtFg?pm=link the tripod can be purchased here for about $4.99: amzn.to/2ZsInNt

[@NurseSai]

Hi Evan thanks for this video, just wanna ask if Samsung Note 8 can fit in this gimbal? Thanks!

[@romp23]

@@NurseSai yes

[@marcoescobar1106]

Sarah Brimon How do you get the tripod ???

[@betheisenberg2603]

Hi. Struggling with the app. Can I use Pro Film app with the gimbal? I really only need the stabilizing feature. Thanks !

[@OmaDeExplorer]

Evan Thomas how much is it?

[@kashiacave0284]

My son gave me this DJI osmo 2yrs ago, and I finally decided to use it for my trip. I spent the last few hours looking for a video to help me set up and download the correct app for my iPhone. I was so frustrated and ready to purchase a newer model until I came across your video at 1:06am and THANK YOUUUUUU. I feel so confident after watching your video and I got the correct app from the QRCode it helped me a lot. I am ready to take some amazing videos and I plan on saving this 5🌟. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT tutorial. 🙏🙏🙏

[@TCOHTom]

Great information for my first time using a gimbal. Thank you for this.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Evan - great step-by-step instruction video for setting up this gimble. I just pick one up--probably a bit late--to shoot YT and IG stories. I'm looking forward to using it because I'm convinced it's going to be a great stabilizer that's going to work for the diverse shots I take to teach driving. Stay well my friend, Cheers Rick

[@EvanThomas]

thanks for watching Rick!

[@suncityvibes2016]

JUST GOT THIS GIMBAL - YOUR VIDEO IS THE BEST.. COULDNT COMPLETE THE SET UP WITHOUT YOUR VIDEO! CLOSE TO 2 YEARS AND ITS STILL VERY RELEVANT!

[@victoriayork1962]

Thank you so much! I've never used one of these things in my life, but I need to create simple videos for our nonprofit. Now I feel confident that I can at least this gimbal's basic features.

[@chievlogs3313]

Just bought mine today! I love it

Hi Evan, I just got the DJI Osmo Mobile 2 for Christmas. The instructions in the box were of no help to me but this video was awesome! I was ready to send the Osmo back thinking it was a dud; I'm so happy I came across your tutorial. Thanks for making it.

[@EvanThomas]

thanks Mary-Leigh!

[@Kratz214]

This is an awesome explanation of the main features of the product! While watching your video, I wrote down the buttons & functions mentioned and I feel like I'm ready to get the most use possible out of the product. Thanks for filming & posting!

[@j4m3s5]

Think I’m gonna use my £40 a month and start saving for this gimble, it awesome! Thanks for the great review!

[@gliftis2171]

Nice video, at first i saw videos with a lot of shaking and jittering but then somehow i come across you and everything is just fine. You convinced me to buy this for christmas!

[@EvanThomas]

thanks for watching

[@vergelgalzote1942]

I bought mine buddy, and with my first outdoor captured video it was stunning, worth for the price, worth in everything. Im pretty sure you’ll gonna love it too. Goodluck and enjoy your Osmo Mobile 2 after your purchase. I totally recommend it!

[@neerenyt]

Dope content. This advice is great because I'm going to buy one for me to make KZbin vids thanks bro.

[@stagerighthomestagingandre3711]

I just purchased the Osmo through Amazon and if it were not for your video we probably never would have been able to figure out how to set it up. So thanks! It'll take me a while to understand everything cuz I'm a techno-peasant but this is a great start.

[@darrent8106]

Great tutorial Evan! I'm really enjoying my gimbal, now that I know how to use it. Cheers

[@quasiguy]

Hello Evan. Thanks for the good instructional video. Perhaps others have addressed this (I didn't read all of your comments to find out), but I'm guessing the reason you may be getting the vibration issues with the motor is because you only adjusted the tilt axis and not the roll axis...at least that's what happened on the video. The roll-axis is when you place the camera face down and make adjustments until it remains flat (and doesn't roll). My apologies if you've already been alerted to this fact. If possible, you may want to add a flag to your video (if possible) alerting future viewers to the missing step in balancing the gimbal. Thanks again for your efforts!

[@pakeydev]

Good info...vibration issue...found out that I did not properly tightening both screw :D

[@113EEBROEDBD]

There actually is hole in the case which you can use as a stand for setting up the case. Its below where the phone clamp goes.

[@EvanThomas]

That's really nifty! Thanks for sharing

[@atknogz]

wow!

[@NaderHamandi]

lol thnx :) never thought about it

[@5ken352]

Chào bạn!

[@Kaartomedia]

Damn, thanks for sharing! Never noticed that one! :D

[@LuvMattazTV]

Thank you so much. This video helped to set my Osmo 2

[@elamasta9491]

Amazing review, thank you

[@rogerwill3558]

Great video. One small thing in the balancing tutorial, you circle the wrong knob to be loosened. The one you circled is for changing the orientation of the camera. But there is only one slider so it wasn't hard to figure out. Thanks

[@rogerwill3558]

whoops I see now that was addressed before I got here. Thanks

[@glamouraz]

Hello! I just wanted to point out that the adjustment knob you highlighted at 3:00 was the different one that you used at 3:15. The knob at 3:15 is the correct knob to use for balancing. I'm still unsure of what the one you highlighted does and I actually stumbled across this video while trying to find an explanation for it!

[@EvanThomas]

thanks for pointing out!

[@EvanThomas]

it's used for flipping the phone from portrait to landscape mode!

[@rono1rono]

Thanks for pointing out that misinfo. I was confused until a viewer mentioned it.

[@robertross1362]

I agree about the 'balancing' information. It just doesn't add and it seems worth correcting. I like your presentation and general technique but if you can't get the upfront 'balance' thing right away, it's frustrating.

[@nickbeniojapan]

Helpful review...many thanks!! You made clear all I need to know...thumbs up!

[@Puppygirl-hj1tn]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate you taking the time to teach this. I just got one.

[@hs7921]

Good Review. Will come back to it again as I experiment a bit more.

[@sergeantbilko7070]

Where are the propellers? Just kidding. Great video!!

[@cayanewyork3272]

Thank you! This was super helpful.

[@wessutherland997]

Repost: I figured something out recently. Bluetooth connection is BIG issue for many. I had to delete the Go app and reinstall. Sign in, and add device as expected. Finally works for me. Great video to get started thanks Evan

[@nputra21]

I just bought dji osmo mobile 2 but it won't connect to my phone, should I charge it first?

[@HFIDOLQ]

Novian P I just unboxed my stuff. What did you do charged it first as well?

[@steveandrushko75]

I was about 99% sure that I was going to go buy this today until..... the random vibration I'm not ok with that

[@davidbenallick4075]

thanks. awesome video.

[@phittable]

Thank you for posting. I already like and subscribed before I was done with the video. I know nothing about gimbal are whatever. But my friend told me about is and I am getting one for sure! Thanks again!

[@misharysulaiman1281]

nice tutorial but i think you need to smile more

[@EvanThomas]

noted :)

[@PurpleWhirple]

Mishary Sulaiman I like his style, I get a bit fed up with KZbin presenters overdoing it. Calm and informative, don’t change a thing!

[@bigempressenergy]

lmao im happy we're not just telling girls to smile more. but i disagree.. his style was informative and chill. It made me feel comfortable while i was watching. Don't overdo something tryna be someone you're not.

[@atheenahowson5152]

Great job on this video. Thank you.😊

[@shahdhaval1990]

Thanks Evan, very helpful!

Great review, thank you!

[@CazedarnesEquestrian]

WOW I've been going nuts trying to work out just how to get the active track icon to appear - all the video's tell you how to use it, but not this simple instruction. Learnt more easily from this video than the official one - thank you!

[@kagunner]

This video was very helpful! I feel like I have a much better understanding of how the OSMO works now. Thinking of buying one very soon. Thank you!

[@ErikHill1]

Thanks for the video!

[@annabeldarrall-rew540]

thanks bro you are awesome

[@Georgewrigley]

Great review. Thanks:)

[@billanderson007]

Lots of helpful info - thx. I just got my Osmo Mobile today, so it was a bit of a learning curve for me. I tried Live Streaming to FB, but thru the app the video was glitchy and slow. I really wanted to be able to use that feature for previewing homes as a realtor, so I'm a little disappointed. Yes, my iPhone is old (6), but I kept it because I didn't want to deal with optical stabilization issues that newer iPhones seem to have with the O.M. Anyhow, I'm curious about the other apps you mentioned to see if I can Livestream FB thru them. My phone does Livestream thru the FB app, but I want the control of the gimbal. Thx again for your help - Bill

[@ianschulze1461]

Okay, I'm sold. Thanks for the video and the information.
