Dji Osmo Mobile 3 Tutorial, Setup and Review

[@gcnphilly]

Finally someone did the intro right on this Equipment. You gave the all important steps in actually setting it up. Everyone else skips over it which makes no sense. Well done!!

[@saul8231985]

gcnphilly I agree with you

[@DaCake2]

Agree. I went through a few before finding this one. No idea why they would skip those steps in a setup video?

[@KingPinMix]

Agree

[@Max-fu5de]

AGREE! Thank you!

[@ruthun]

I balance my phone while it's folded...

[@Mista808]

Forget about the DJI Osmo Mobile 3. Let's talk about this guy deserving a father of the year award! He's able to get his son to wear a helmet when riding a bike (something impossible to do in 2020) and you can tell how much your son enjoys being around you. Thanks for the review and thanks for being an awesome dad! 😎

[@yorickstrangefield2976]

You can't really tell that he's an "awesome dad" from watching 45 seconds of a staged interaction.

[@renulass]

I just got this product. Your video was my step by step tutorial. Felt kinda like being in class, took notes and everything. Awesomeness, thank you

[@jennygreenway8223]

I bought one of these ages ago and couldn't get on with it and tutorials were so hard for me to follow because the host talked 19 to the dozen and I couldn't follow it. It was all too fast for my anxious brain. It has sat in the drawer unloved. You have changed this - great delivery, I could get it, I am using it and enjoying it Thank you so much - what a brilliant teach session.

[@macworld33]

You can pretty much start the video at 4:55 but this is the best video I have come across too quickly and complately explain relavant useful setup and function on this Dji Osmo. His timing and screen presence are just perfect! Does not over explain and importantly, under explain. I went through about five truly annoying posts before finding this one!

[@saxy]

This should be the top hit for this Gimbal . Watched all the videos and after a week finally figured the correct setup due to this video.10/10

[@ArrowheadGarage]

I just bought my Osmo 3 and have been watching videos all morning on setting it up and getting started. Thank goodness I found yours, the best video for first time Osmo 3 owners to watch!

[@paulbeth4006]

Thank you !!! Picked-up the DJI Osmo 3 couple weeks ago, didn't use it much until viewing your video. Just became first-time grandparents, plan on lots of videos and pics !!! Feel like a "pro" after watching your video !!! Thanks for simplifying setup, and demonstrating features !!!

[@stevennicholson9380]

You can re-position the active track so you aren't centered in the middle, just use the joystick to re-frame yourself :D

[@Manusmith]

Thanks for that info. I realized it maybe a few days after I did the video.

[@SailingNovaSatus]

I can't get active track to work at all... :(

[@H.pylori]

Best "how to" video on how to operate the DJI Mobile 3. Easy enough for me to learn.

[@jesselamba6604]

Totally agree. No fluff, straight to the point.

[@patriciahowell122]

I agree 100% that you did a superb instructional video on how to set up the Osmo Mobil 3. I returned my first one thinking that it was broken only to discover that I did not know how to operate it due to other videos explaining the device not being as good. Thanks so much for your video. I'm a happy camper with my new Osmo Mobil 3

[@sharontrimm1733]

Your explanation of the shut up really helped me a lot. It wasn’t as good in other videos. Thanks for your help.

[@heathernewman8204]

Thank you! I bought my gimbal a looooooong time ago...pre COVID and am only just now playing with it! Thanks for your 'fun' tutorial.

[@davidleedesign]

Just got my DJI Osmo Mobile 3 and absolutely love it! Thanks for posting one of the most clear introductions to the many functions and controls of the Osmo Mobile 3. Great filming demos of you and your kids!

[@SherriAnneGreenRealEstate]

Thank you! I watch several videos to get my phone attached and set up. Your detailed yet simple and quick explanation was what I needed. Great video!

[@SailingNovaSatus]

Everybody seems to think this is a great video, but I'm still confused. I'm going to have to watch this again. Why are there no instructions with the dang thing?

[@alexgouthro3869]

I just bought two Osmo 3 - one for my wife and the other for me. This tutorial had us going very quickly - Thank you so much - Excellent presentation!

[@ashmeesh]

Been watching so many videos because I just ordered one, but this one wins because I love San Francisco so much.

[@mikehooper6080]

This is an excellent review! You presented the information in a logical process, gave great examples and in a short time, covered somethings I did not know or see in other videos. Thanks, Manu. Keep running with your kid!

[@PullMyFocus]

Thanks so much!!

[@donaldboys7094]

Very good introduction. As an old still photographer whose wants to move into iPhone videography to teach his grand nieces I found this super informative and well done. Thanks for making the effort to offering something at this level and using affordable equipment for beginners.

[@terilynhutcheonadams2373]

Just bought my first gimbal and this was SO helpful for someone who is clueless like me. Thank you!

[@PullMyFocus]

Very welcome!

[@houmanghasemian3580]

Just picked one up and if it wasn't for you i would just give up and return it. Thanks man

[@kentdaniel328]

Same here. Bought it from Best Buy and felt discouraged. Within five minutes of watching this video I was able to shoot footage and control the device.

[@Ohsqwheezle]

I’m just about to set up my new Osmo 3. This seems to be a great video to start with. Clear and unambiguous. Thank you. I’ll let you know how it goes 🤗

[@tmatheson54]

Dude what a great video. I played this of course to get info and details about the DJI product as I purchased one. But two things happened; one there was good info about the gimbal and second was your content. It was awesome. After watching it to get the details about the MIMO I had to watch it again just to check out your shooting and your location and people used for the demo. Loved the fact that you used family. Your son was awesome and you two just seemed to be having a blast messing around. The nearly 12 minute video was fun, entertaining, light and humorous and had good videography usage. Well done. Oh yes, the gimbal is pretty cool. Cheers!

[@PullMyFocus]

Thanks so much. We put many hours into our videos to make them fun and memorable. We also wanted to show many examples of the gimbal at work. And, yes, my son is one of my favorite actors to work with. Hah.

[@karentaylorsmells]

Totally agree, it was an amazing video, really appreciate all the hours of effort and hard work, it was a treat to watch!

[@mikeos1]

[@DenisEfimenkoMusic]

Hey great video! You actually have the option to reposition your tracking in the shot. Just make it follow you and then turn the angle with the joystick 😉

[@michaelo9039]

I am new to the Osmo Mobile 3, in fact it is my first gimbal. I have watched several videos on it and yours is by far the best. Thanks for making this video, very helpful especially for a newby.

[@omglibra]

thank you so much. this is the review and active footage (like at 4:12!) that I was looking for in order to make my decision on buying this!

[@michaelhaff2274]

thank you for explaining that second balancing technique. every other tutorial glossed over that and it made a huge differnece

[@Rlauby]

you can move the target track by locking on and then use the joystick to move the picture. works every time and your track point can be off to one side.

[@sprig6043]

Well done for mentioning the dashes prior to mounting phone. No reviewer has mentioned that brother. Love from the UK

[@ResonantRogues]

Nice clip of the shim sham toward the end there.... Thanks for this tutorial! Entertaining and informative.

[@PullMyFocus]

Nice that you know the Shim Sham!! Woot!!

[@AndreaAdventures]

Just got the Osmo Mobile and I'm excited to take it out around Alaska. Your video was incredibly helpful. Thanks!

[@bozire]

Great job by you! I just got one last week and haven't had the time to use it yet. I saw your video and hung out for the duration. Thanks for the info, and blessing to you and your family.

[@scsdenver]

Yeap! I agree with everyone else. Love that you're able to make these great videos, point out the important items and spend time with your kids and get out of the house having fun. Great job = Good Life!

[@PullMyFocus]

Thanks, Larry. Those are some very kind words.

[@miggywiggy]

You can move the active track with the joystick. If you move your subject to any of the corners of the screeen, the gimbal will more or less keep it in the same area.

[@AfrikanLifestyle]

Great video bro. I watched a couple other setup videos and still was not clear about a ferw things and your video made it plain and simple. The difference is you did a better job of explaining and pointing things out. Great job..

[@aligilmour]

Watching this from Scotland. Thanks for a fun video that gave all the set up info I needed. I’ll definitely watch more of your uploads.

[@MaleneRobinson]

Great job on this. I subscribed to your channel because of this video. It thoroughly yet simply breaks down how to use a Dji Osmo for amateurs (like me). Thanks for simplifying this process.

[@Youservice7878]

I just got mine today, and searching for a simple video instruction and your video is the best one. Simple and informative. Thanks... 😁

[@jimpannell2035]

Just bought the Osmo Mobile 3 and am super impressed with it. But also with your channel! You're damn good!

[@ed3432]

Big props, bruh. Yours is the best you tube video on setup and use of buttons and trigger that i've seen. Peace

[@MUDSWAT]

So far the best instructional video I can find.

[@TasteNSmile]

I like your style. That makes the difference brother.👍👍

[@keithspicer4172]

Just got mine today and didn't have a clue until I found this. Thank you so much.

[@RealLifeMasha]

Awesome video! I looked at a lot of great videos for a set up, but yours had exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@michaelcross2199]

To make setup easier i have a small piece of tape on the back of the phone where the right position for balancing point is

[@WalkingDrivingFlyingLasVegas]

I have the Osmo Mobile 3 and love it! It's a cheap way to improve your videos with dramatic results. Great review, well done! Thank you!

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks for the clear precise video. I am looking at getting the Dji Osmo Mobile 3 and even more convinced now. Cheers Keith

[@AngloSaxon1]

I had a fully motorised gimbal setup for my cameras, but i found it was not worth it, so I got rid of the gimbal and all the expensive accessories, and I shot using tripods and handheld. But I have just bought the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 to use with my smartphone and because it is so small and because it works really well with the well thought out app, I am going to use it and my phone to capture the action shots I need.

[@ruudjanssens8984]

FilmicPro told me they have not yet received a sdk kit from DJI. That's why they cannot support Mobile 3 yet. Thanks for your video.

[@DaCake2]

Damn... do you know if that is still the case? I know its only been a month, but I thought I would ask.

Great video. I purchased this model and this video was helpful.

[@karlweaver2597]

This is an excellent video tutorial, hats off, I bought my DJI Osmo Mobile 3 on Amazon for my daughter in 2020, but she never used it, so I decided to spend more time learning more about how to use myself it because my goal to turn on the active track feature when I deliver a video presentation by myself with my own tripod at conferences. The gesture control is a little tricky, and if you have more advice or instructions on using Active Track + Gesture Control, I would welcome your feedback, Sir! Thank you, Karl Weaver

[@billsoady972]

Thank you so much, no other vid helped me but I finally figured it all out thanks to you

[@MikeMacKay]

Thank you! Thank you! Glad I found this video. I'm sure I'll come back to it after a couple of hours with my new gimbal.

That was excellent! I bought a new Osmo 3 yesterday. Thanks so much for helping me to easily understand it! You have a new subscriber!

Brilliant idea. Keeping up with technology. Best of luck to your journey.

[@Emangia]

Excellent video, basic, direct on what does this tool, very easy to use with your review, Thank you!

[@RealtorKateSmith]

Great video, you made a lot of sense and you made it easy. Which made me decide on buying the Osmo mobile combo, after being hugely unsuccessful with the other 2, Zhiyun Smooth----still always struggling... thanks!

[@MyAdventureTube]

Thank you so much. I Just got mine few days ago and this is really very helpful for me! My Adventure Tube From New york.😀

[@dannynesbitt7056]

I must have watched 5 videos on balancing the phone and none of them had a clear explanation like you did.

[@texascenterforlocalfood5647]

very clear description for beginners. Thanks!

[@Hart-en-Ziel]

Liked the style and b-roll - just down to earth and informative. I bought the Osmo Mobile 3 today and your info sure helps. And is pleasant to look at. Cheers!

[@markus_scott]

Thanks for the in depth setup. Didn’t know I had to have the markers match up before balancing it

[@DaCake2]

Me either. I have no idea why DJI wouldnt include that in the app setup?

[@doctor.sreeraj]

Good one. But could have made better by showing the internal settings of mimo like tilt lock, fov, follow mode etc and explain when and how to use it. Probably in the next one as it needs a few minutes to explain them. Otherwise this is one of the best reviews. Also i found that you can balance your phone in the folded gimbal itself. That makes it so lot easier and you don't have to hold the tilt motor.

[@AskJamieTurner]

Nice work! Thanks for the well-thought-out video.

[@Outandaboutwithpoggy]

Excellent review, best on youtube, thank you, your time and effort is much appreciated

For once, a really well-made and informative video - thanks so much. I encouraged me to buy one and I'm really pleased with it. Sad that there are so few good reviews as yours - many of them are really awful.

[@waikitchung]

Really good product indeed! The only issue I have is that when I have a lens mounted on my phone, it may interfere with some rotation.

[@georgecarter8104]

Very helpful. Many thanks. Well done. You covered some critical points.

[@SailingNovaSatus]

Okay. Your video is wonderful. I appreciate you being so thorough. The problem is I still can't figure out how to use the dang gimbal. First, why on Earth are there ZERO instructions in the box? I've had to seek out videos like this to use my new toy. And even after watching this twice, pausing dozens of times, I still can't get it to track on my face. I might just keep making shaky videos... This thing is for the birds

[@ruthun]

Liked your review. I also used Mobile 3 now, with Mate 20 Pro for video and stills...Use Filmic Pro for B-Roll and native camera for the piece to camera stuff. Added a Boya mic, but also found a nice a2DP adaptor to turn my mic into a Bluetooth mic through filmic. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
