Does it work fine with 14 pro max + mic? Or it could handle only regular pro with microphone receiver attached?

[@HotshotTek]

I would just suggest putting everything on the scale, but if we do the math. iPhone 14 pro weighs about 240 grams and the DJI mic transmitter is 28 grams. That’s 268. You’re good. It should support it.

Hi, thanks so much for making this helpful video. What app are you using for calibration and settings? DJI Mimo? Something else?

[@flaviolima9972]

Muito bom esse vídeo 👍

[@stso9daa]

Hello, thank you for the 'how to'. do you think it is more suited for left-handed folks? I cannot reach around to the zoom button. this causes erratic handling and results.

[@DavidDemangos]

Great video, is it true that if I'm recording I can't switch from the front camera to the back camera without stopping the recording?

[@muddasirj]

How do you connect a wireless mic if the mic does not have a lighting connecter? I am struggling to find a good option since the mics that come with lightning connector are of low quality. Also, I am not sure if we can attach a receiver using adapter cable etc. thanks

[@MemphisMike901]

I wonder how well it would work with my Quadlock Case? I have iPhone XR. great video. still have Osmo 3

[@AngeliaGurnerpersonal]

I kept my magnet for the Osmo 3. It is fun to attach my phone to my car when I am filling up. 🤣 It is also nice to go in a store and have my phone sit in the shopping cart magnetized to the cart.

[@onehundredcelsius]

Hello. Would you kindly comment on the following review, and if you have remedies for the issue raised: “I bought this as an upgrade from the OM4, but when you align your phone (iPhone 13 Pro) properly in the clamp and set the camera to ultra wide view you will see the arm of the gimbal in the bottom of the frame. It is also pretty annoying to have to remove the clamp to collapse the gimbal compared to the OM4 where it stays on. That just gives you one more piece of gear to keep track of. Overall it works well and I like the different modes, but I think I will stick to the OM4 for now.”

[@zaneromitassietrippers427]

Hi just wanted to ask, what should my battery light still on red and gimbal say not balance, done the calibration many times

[@eden20111]

How do you make the gimbal follow you around for setting on a tripod instead of holding it??

[@williamcousert]

What's a good choice for a case for an iPhone 14 Pro Max that is compatible with this gimbal, and also supports wireless charging? Amazon links would be appreciated.

[@seewhy00]

Hi, thanks for the video. Anyone knows how to turn off the yellow onscreen notifications/tips that appear while recording? Thank you.

If I'm using a mic other than the DJI mic - I have a rode wireless go - what's the best way to attach it without getting in the way of gimbal? I've considered velcro or something, but i'm not sure.

[@wayneknetter]

Use a hot shoe L bracket, I got mine from ebay

[@ron2507]

I find that I cannot pan forward, moving along just above the ground. Let’s say if I want to hold the phone in landscape mode horizontally about a foot off the ground and moving forward, the gimbal will not turn the camera upward in that direction upward enough. Am I doing something wrong?

The OM5 which has the same weight rating failed often (fell over) when using an iPhone 13 Pro Max...I wonder if they improved the motors or fixed this on the OM6

[@unityartistryfilms521]

I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max. My biggest concern was the same, I bought the OM6 and left my case and no issues even added an micro sd adapter with card in it and again no issue, but limited in room movement… :)

[@shotjohnny]

Hi, I I just received my DJI OSMO 6, and this video was very helpful. Thank you. One thing I didn't get is: what is supposed to happen when you "hold down" the "record button"? You get a "burst"? Sorry, I couldn't get that. I tried it, but nothing happened on my end. : (

Would it handle a FoldZ4? :Djust bought mine Om6 and not very happy with it as it has limited moves --' it doesn't move as it should be for a gimbal, it's ridiculous.

This guide was truly helpful. However just wanted to know while shooting a video can we flip between the front and rear camera?

[@ChennaiKungFuAssociation]

Does it work with OnePlus 7t?

[@marksouthwell4490]

Can you use the iphone camera rather than the DJI camera app. I find the DJI camera app isn't as good quality and can over expose video images

[@atechcheck]

Maybe a bit dumb Q but I could not find any video showing this... Is there any way of making movement points that OM6 will follow and take a video instead of time lapse? It seems silly But that is really great feature if we want to film from point A to Point B without touching camera! I hope there is a way since I didn see that feature on any gimbal out there....

[@YoungChangGaming]

Hey, you definitely can! You have the choice of L-R, R-L, or custom with into 4 points.

[@cor_racing]

@@YoungChangGaming well that’s great! Why no one is demonstrating this… does it need to be done while using their app or could it be done manually on the gimbal while use other recording apps?

[@YoungChangGaming]

@Cor Validum I'm not sure why no one is covering it, but you need to be in the mimo app. You can use the joystick to move to the points, but you still need to click a button in the app to register that point.

[@atechcheck]

@@YoungChangGaming ahh ok that is important. So one could use another smartphone to control it thru mimo app and another to actually record.

[@appletele5906]

@@atechcheck you can't use two smartphones at once with the mimo app and the osmo 6 gimble. Only one smartphone connects via Bluetooth at time.

Will all the gimbal functions work using an Android smart phone?

[@suryakamalnd9888]

Amazing video bro. I'm buying the om 6. Does it support a cheap phone? It's the Realme 9 5G speed edition. It's about 199 grams. And it's android.

Some features won’t work for android

[@memoriesneverdied]

Why don’t you recommend a cell case ? I’m scare to damage my phone and weight is not an issue for me. But how does it affect my actual footage or hardware ?? Thanks

[@fratwannabe4590]

Weight might not be an issue for you but it might be for the gimbal motors. Also less mass= less inertia meaning it can move faster and smoother

[@mhvdm]

Are you intermittently slowing down the footage or is the audio just distorted here and there hah? It sometimes sounds like you are adding a slow motion vibe to your audio and video.

[@PolymerJones]

The locking thing makes it hard to open like almost breaking the thing trying to get it to open it up

[@robert_samuels]

[@QuentinExplores]

I bought the OSMO 6 a few months ago, and I am really struggling to use it. It just constantly moves in all directions, making it impossible to do any decent video recording. Holding the key in the back stops it from moving, but it makes video footage very erratic, as I need to constantly release the key to re-put my subject in the center, then hold it again. The Active Track is a nightmare to use, it makes the gimbal constantly shaking to keep the subject in sight. So frustrating to use, I find myself going back to record videos with my own hands and get better results. I am starting to believe that the gimbal is a defect. Things get worse when I attach the DJI Mic receiver to my smartphone, as the gimbal is constantly unbalanced. If I move the smartphone to take into account the extra weight of the receiver, the gimbal complains the phone isn't centered. If I center the phone back as if it does not have the receiver, the latter then bumps into the gimbal arm. It drives me crazy that DJI didn't think about a better way to support the DJI mic.

[@marleneneumann2884]

@@DumbBritAbroad did you find a solution to this ?

[@shahidrzz]

One issue with this gimbal is the tilt range - even in PF mode (i.e. tilt lock mode), when. you've moved too far in angle, the tilt kicks in messing up the verticals. I still have my OM6 but haven't been able to use it much as a real estate videographer. Looking for other options out there to be honest if anyone knows a better gimbal which is just as compact.

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

A KZbin video appeared a couple of days ago from one of the regular video channels - won't name him here - who is usually very good. But he criticized the OM6 big time, mainly for those who (like me) shoot mainly in landscape mode. He made the point that the OM6 won't do the high-to-low sweep in landscape mode as it has insufficient tilt range. The phone flaps around on the end of the gimbal. I have one on order, so that is a concern. Have you tried that movement - a very basic typical gimbal move? I think if you just search KZbin for 'DJI OM6 what nobody tells you' and look in the last few days, you'll find the one I'm talking about.

[@martinjanssen7329]

can confirm this is the case, and was a dealbreaker for me. It was the same on the OM5 and hasnt improved at all

[@urzua1]

@@martinjanssen7329 what did you buy instead? I was thinking of the Zhiyun crane M3

@@urzua1 yeah that was the one i chose. Much more expensive, but more futureproof as it can hold heavier rigs as well so if you ever upgrade to a mirrorless then no problem. Drawback is the lower portability however. its chunky compared to the DJI.
