Video cameras do not film. That would be Moviemaking. If you want to educate at least know the difference between film and video. Digital Video and film require different skill sets. Having DIFFERENT historical and TECHNOLOGICAL timelines spanning 150 years. :-) Educate by having pride in the gear we use including the words that describe what we do. Our tools are Digital Video, Non-linear, and CGI. We are moviemakers, not filmmakers. Videographers and/or cinematographers. We video, we do not film. :-) That's the other professionals who know how to use film and film cameras, like an ARRIFLEX 435 Panavision R-200 and Steenbeck flatbed film editors. Know the difference and be better at your craft. You will also stand out in an industry polluted with point-and-shoot "pros". Respect to you.

[@MrVh78]

Use a counter balance weight for the filters it works fine.

[@XDjow]

You can place small counterweights on the gimbal so it can be balanced with the filter.

[@mehsinkat25]

Amazing video! I’m definitely going for this. I aim to make vlogs - do you think I’d need an external mic as well or would my iPhone 15 be enough?

[@Yohan17778]

Hi Sir is the Dji Om6 more durable than insta 360? Or much more stable?

[@mavlogs1954]

Can you try with a case please ? Does the gimbal behave same with a MagSafe case ?

[@wayneknetter]

Out of all the DJI gimbals which can point straight down if i attach it upside down to the wiral lite?

[@mydurhamhouse7776]

This is so timely - I had forgotten how informative you are and as a senior changing my Realtor niche to Pre-Construction Condos!, this video to drop in right now is priceless. Thank you for the nudge!

[@MrPaulXavier]

You are so welcome!

[@limpanskok]

Hello there, does anyone know how it copes with the dji mic transmitter on a mobile, and the extra weight, Or can it be mounted in another way?

[@conradpretorius_remaxjac]

You guys are truly the benchmark on content creating!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you!

[@donaldbest1295]

Fabulous instruction. Thanks!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stuckonurbanstudio]

Get a Universal Clip-on that is of smaller thread of 37mm. Brands like K&F, you can easily get 37mm CPL, ND, VND, Black Mist and etc. Lighter than using step-up ring and bigger heavier filters plus if you use too many step up, more likely to get lens flare due to the glass on the filter being too far away from the outer glass of your phone camera. There is a reason why many will prefer to get specialized but more expensive clip-on for phones like iPhones or Galaxy has because the filters are essentially millimeters away the outer glass of the phone camera.

[@paule.alvarez8720]

You guys do the most terrific videos. Good sound, amazing visuals with text and all. Clear, well explained content. Love it. Thank you.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Appreciate your feedback!

[@camilacalixto587]

Hi. Thanks for the content. Can you use the tracking mode on zoom calls?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yes

[@k16e]

With the Mimo app, you can't shoot Raw/ProRes? (on iPhone 14 Pro)

[@margie9026]

Very informative!!! Thank you!

[@MrPaulXavier]

You are so welcome!

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

Great post as always! Is this in the 14 day Iphone filmmaker program? or the regular "filmmaking" one...? Thanks!

[@MrPaulXavier]

The tutorial is in the smartphone specific program!

[@asiansolution1208]

Thank you for this informative video.

[@farzinnasiri1084]

what do you think of insta360 flow?

[@mydurhamhouse7776]

You are so knowledgeable -= thankyou!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you! And You are so welcome!

[@techwithkorey]

.40 second mark are you recording with your iPhone and Gimbal?

[@jasonfarrell5857]

How does Osmo gimble compare to Hohem range?

[@brianstark8735]

Thanks for a great video. I've had the Mobile 6 for a while, but haven't' really played with the active track, but now I'm excited to add it to my toolbox.

[@MrPaulXavier]

You got it man!

[@Imcoachfred]

I have it for a few months, use it on a iPhone 14 pro with quite a heavy case. Even with a mic transmitter connected to it, still not too heavy so pretty happy with it Let me know where to find it in the 14 day Filmmaker, was looking through it but couldn't find it.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Re-uploading the A-Z tutorial to the course now! First upload failed for some reason

[@assadaliassadali2427]

Love always your videos brother just wow that is great assaali from Kenya Mombasa Africa

[@miamifit]

Thank you, job well done.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you too!

[@mubashirhussain519]

Which camera is used in this video ?

[@troigrl]

How do you compare this to the GoPro? I just saw this and I’m planning on an international trip soon. This looks amazing

[@MrPaulXavier]

They're two different tools in my eyes. I'd prefer a better phone than a bad phone + a gopro in most situations since the phone is always in your pocket.

[@jailbreakoverlander]

well done TY

[@jailbreakoverlander]

I enrolled but havent sat down yet, But Im going to.

[@louispelland594]

Wow thanks so much!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Happy to help!

[@dvdxn]

Great video…Can you do a comparison between this and the isteady v2s?

[@MrPaulXavier]

I will add that to the list!

[@delutedandriebb]

Can this works well on Samsung A54 5G?

[@uctlush]

Quick Question: I'm looking to get started making videos vlogging in different countries and also want to do desktop studio videos for youtube. I have an Iphone 11, would you recommend updating the phone and going for the Gimbal or buying a gopro or another camera?

[@MrPaulXavier]

You will see a bigger upgrade going with a new phone in my eyes for sure

[@OkayDip]

I want that ND filter setup for my iPhone 15 pro 7:48

[@dianna266]

very informative video. i will look at getting this gimbal as i have wanted to upgrade mine and i have an iphone 14 pro.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@NEWSINFUSEDrickydelrosario]

Did you test how far away the tracker works. Also I do speeches and I'm far away can I zoom it in and it stays?

[@MrPaulXavier]

I haven't done a test myself but I've seen people use this to track birds flying in the sky from super far away so I bet it would work for speeches

[@JeesZach]

Cool one, my DJI OSMO 2 is missing, this one will be good choice to buy a new one.

[@MrPaulXavier]

You will love the upgrade :)

[@kimweinglass]

Hey Anthony! I bought this gimbal recently myself and am glad to see your review of it here! I had recently watched your tutorial for DJI OM5 in the 14 Day Smartphone Filmmaker edition. You said here that there is a brand new training on the DJI OM6 in the course, but I don't see it. Can you provide info on where to look for it? Also, this may be a dumb question, but I just want to clarify... when using a DJI gimbal, you are using the DJI Mimo app instead of Beast Cam.

[@MrPaulXavier]

It looks like the upload in the course failed so I'm re-uploading it now! Most of the time I'm actually just using the native app on my iphone, but if I want to use one of the built in smart features of the gimbal then I'll use the app. If I'm shooting a controlled scene where I really want to control the settings even more than I'll use beastcam.

[@kimweinglass]

@@MrPaulXavier Thanks! So, can you use the gimball with Beastcam? What controls are available in Beastcam that aren't available in the DJI Mimo app?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yup the gimbal will work no matter what app you're using. The mimo apps just connects to it via bluetooth and then allows you to use some of the smart features like the motion lapse. But you could literally have your phone turned off attached to the gimbal and it will still keep the phone stable. That is the primary purpose of the tool. The app is just extra add ons. Overall when it comes to controlling the exposure settings I just prefer the beastcam layout. Nothing other than that.

[@riowinaryo18_86]

What if you have twin brothers? I'm interested but my old gimbal Zhiyun Smooth Q still working but i wish it has extended pole.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Not sure what you mean by the twin brothers

[@conradpretorius_remaxjac]

2:10 into the video - I don`t find the resolution option 4K on mine, max is 1080p. Is my phone the problem?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yes it’s likely the phone you’re using. What model is it?

[@theflyinglenz]

I just use my Osmo for 10 days straight with the brand new 15 pro max and absolutely loved it! I found myself using very little of the app and used it with the built-in camera plus another camera application.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@travelingchannel2239]

Hello there! What’s the other camera app you use?

[@theflyinglenz]

pro cam if I remember correctly @@travelingchannel2239

[@BostonTerrierDad623]

I love ProMovie+ for just my phone around home with my very athletic dog or our football games on the sidelines. It’s an amazing app for that. I’m NOT a photographer, so please don’t shoot technical jargon at me & tell why it sucks! Haha it is a gorgeous result for 3-5 min shots

[@TheConsideredMan]

My question too...😄

[@royandescartes]

this is a very good tutorial

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you :)

[@AdventuresWithDan777]

Funny I just ordered a Gimbal. Your course sounds interesting 😊

[@MrPaulXavier]

We'd love to have you join our community :)

[@RCGJR_]

I have an iphone 15 pro max, should i disable the enhanced stabilization? And also what about the action mode low light? Should it be off or on?

[@MrPaulXavier]

I leave both on, we actually have an entire video on the channel about iPhone settings I would check out if I were you!

[@RCGJR_]

@@MrPaulXavier will do!! Thank you!

[@jonahkaiguam]

DJI OM6 vs Insta360 Flow vs Hohem iSteady m6?

[@Schjoenz]

the Hohem M6 is more expensive but has more features than this Osmo 6. I have Osmo 3 right now and planning to upgrade because I can't film very low close to the ground with Osmo 3 just like you showed in this video, I can't put additional lenses due to exceeded payload which I wanted to do. So I think the Hohem M6 is my best choice for now because it can hold up to 400 grams. Meaning I can throw in some lenses and it will still work just fine.

[@marcionaegele6570]

This might be a little stupid of me, but I’ve had this gimbal for months and could never get the hang of it. The head where my phone is attached to is constantly moving and the camera gets upside down or moves too much. I have the iPhone 14max and use it without a case. I have your course and have watched the previous osmo video you have there. But again, couldn’t get it to be stable. I know it’s a little vague, but any idea what I could be doing wrong?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Hmmm... not sure exactly what you mean. Could you post a video of it in the student facebook group? Then I can look at it and diagnose what's happening

[@ryanedwards6536]

mine is the exact same. the app also will not connect period. Ive been so frustrated with it all, I havent seen if it works on my iphone 15

[@TaterChip91]

If you delete a bunch of old videos and pictures in your phone, will that help lighten the payload for the gimbal

[@MrPaulXavier]

Hahahaha

[@erickperdomo277]

hey...how much better is this 6 than my current one OM3? thanks

[@MrPaulXavier]

Hard to quantify but it’s definitely an upgrade. Yours still works great for smooth shots though

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

@@MrPaulXavier hi there...I tried my OM3 and it works but the weigh capacity is lower than the OM6...OM3 is 230grms and the OM6 is 290grms...My 15 promax with case is probably a bit over 230grms.I prefer to use a case with my phones...I confess I'm also deciding whether a Insta 360 Flow would be better...about the same I think..I may just try the phone with a mini tripod/handle and use the maximum stabilization it's capable of...I don't want a complicated gimbal for this C camera. For my main cameras-Sony FX30s-I use Ronin S and that is great. a bit heavy but strong

[@DavidRodriguez-ci6dm]

Do you find this one betterbthan dji Osmo 2 ?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yes definitely

[@rebeccaw9656]

In the video, are using a Pro or a Pro Max? I want to know how it will cope with the weight of a 15 pro Max in all of its functions.

[@MrPaulXavier]

This was a pro max!

[@lauriephilp]

Hi you can cure the unbalance if you add the counterbalance you can add to the threaded hole in the head at the back.

[@Nawanga2]

u didn't cover the battery life how long does it last?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thanks!

[@SaurabhOKumar]

Does this dji osmo 6 gimbal has manual configuration features for Android phones as compared to any Apple phone?

[@SaurabhOKumar]

I am essentially talking from the dji mimo app perspective for Android users. Thanks

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yes all of the settings that the MIMO app controls you can usually control within the built in android camera app or download another 3rd party. It varies phone to phone so I can't give an exact answer

[@SaurabhOKumar]

@@MrPaulXavier Thanks Paul for your encouraging response.. I have just ordered the dji OSMO 6 after watching this video of yours ...I am looking forward to joining your training in the coming future.. I believe and hope your 14 day training may help me in using this gimbal flawlessly with all its features with my Android smartphone as well. I am a newbie in cinematography and its related expertise.. but, I am looking for an encouraging start in this area for sometime now but, don't know where to begin actually! So, I look forward to your guidance. Thanks again, Paul! 🙂

[@MrPaulXavier]

@@SaurabhOKumar That's great! I think you'll love your new gimbal

[@SaurabhOKumar]

@@MrPaulXavier Thank you Paul. Can you suggest the best low cost smartphone presently suitable to learn and practice your course because I am interested in buying a new one of the low price range of Google Pixel 7 or Apple 14 i.e. low budget version. Which low budget model do you recommend me to buy for your cinematography course? Please recommend one model name for Android phone and one for the Apple phone. Best Wishes, Paul.. Looking forward to your answer! 👈🤝✌👍

[@Oscarro02]

how do yo do the subtitles??

[@MrPaulXavier]

Premiere pro has an autocaption feature

[@jayizzett]

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

just waiting for Dji to drop the 7 lol they update them every year. i like the black version better.

[@mogwaiboyboy9673]

will you choose this over Insta360?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yes I would. They're both very similar though.

[@MelissaPeel]

I paid . How long does it take to receive course ?

[@MrPaulXavier]

You should receive login details within a minute or two to your email. If not shoot us a message at [e-mail] and we'll help you out ASAP! Sometimes emails glitch out and the login details aren't sent but we'll solve it for you one way or another

[@_Detail.Society]

Would you recommend this as a tripod aswell for filming?

[@remektekmedia6641]

I find the use of the animated captions a real destruction.

[@scubasteve3293]

i bought this gimbal because the price was right, cool video.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Good choice!

[@hgoneci]

that gimbal is made for steady shot while walk and hand shot..but I cant find a test for this . nobody dont making this test in their previews about gimbals. why ?..weird..

[@YokoYakashi]

If you're in Australia, JB HIFI has them for $198

[@__Andrew_]

5:48. Pulls out stick.. where the heck is space for a decent BATTERY? ---

[@LightsaberPanda]

Does this hav capacity for a lav mic? I don't trust phone audio

[@MrPaulXavier]

The phone does yes! Depending on the mic you might have an issue with the gimbals weight capacity though

[@LightsaberPanda]

@@MrPaulXavier gotcha, I wonder if there's a light enough lav mic you can recommend? Wired or wireless

[@_kayceemil]

What your take on the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 VS Insta 360?

[@MrPaulXavier]

They're both very comparable. I prefer DJI though

[@_kayceemil]

@@MrPaulXavier ok thanks I was thinking both have different role to play.

[@Explorers__eye]

I want to buy this one and pair it with iPhone 15pro. Question is. How to attach ssd to this setup😂 any ideas?

[@MrPaulXavier]

I would Velcro the SSD to the handle of the gimbal and just connect it to the camera via usb C

[@Explorers__eye]

@@MrPaulXavier yeah that’s probably good solution 🙈 I was thinking about velcro ssd to my phone case but it would’ve probably to thick and get in collision with gimbal arm 😅😂

[@Indpendent01]

great review but i feel a little sore now with all the captions slapping me in the face lol

[@MrPaulXavier]

Hahahah 🤣

[@MultiThunder1234]

Nope, my phone can't use this gimbal because the on/of button will get in the way of the phone clamp. DJI should have thought of this because Huawei / Vivo and Oppo which is another huge brands have the on off button right underneath the clamp position.

[@lowlowseesee]

lol nah your phone sucks

[@hebus4]

na i just gonna buy a Hohmen isteady M6

[@barrybahrami]

It let you live stream with a 3rd party app. you lose all the big features, like zoom. so disappointing

[@6624klander]

Yes, if you have an iPhone, otherwise it is not

[@ronnieblanchet4072]

SOLI DEO GLORIA (To The Glory Of God Alone) Father, Son & Holy Spirit -Ronnie

[@pedalandypedal]

I have one and hate it

[@whatsnottohike]

I have a DJI gimbal and it's great for smooth footage but I do find the app, especially when working outdoors, very difficult to follow and see. I feel they could make the text bigger and have less sub menus. It does have great functions though.

[@MrPaulXavier]

That's solid feedback! Hopefully as phone screens continue to get bigger and brighter that will help as well.

[@alex-marques]

Nahh, Hohem iSteady M6 is better

[@MrPaulXavier]

What makes you say that?

[@alex-marques]

DJI has limited payload compared to Hohem; Smoothness and stability they are similar; Tracking features, Hohem is winner with its AI technology; About modes, both have pretty much the same features but DJI is limited to use their own app, on Hohem you can use any app. DJI is more compact and can be better for travelers, but overall Hohem has more capabilities. Don’t take it personal, it’s just my opinion, I have both.

[@KurtPapke]

You left out the biggest drawback of this gimbal - the small tilt range of -25 to +40 degrees. If you want to do a shot where you raise the gimbal from the ground, you have to do it laterally because it can roll 90 degrees easily, but not tilt. Also I've had mine for about a year, and it needs to be recalibrated almost every time I power it up.

[@TrainLovers-TL69]

and after the last update I have to turn on the grid every restart in the DJI app

[@KurtPapke]

@@TrainLovers-TL69 that’s irritating!

[@chrisfrailey1493]

Totally agree. Tilt lock doesn’t work and I sent the gimbal back.

[@Calebjoyemusic]

You get what you pay for! Sounds like you have a brilliant work around.

[@Rocketryman]

Shooting vertically should not be an option. It's amateurish.

[@MrPaulXavier]

If you're a purist sure that's one way to look at it, but if you're trying to create content that gets views and accomplishes goals in 2024, vertical is a great strategy.

[@Rocketryman]

@@MrPaulXavier Yes I get that. An amateurish direction got out of control. Thank you "smart"phone. :-) Honestly, it does not really add value to your marketing goals a form of mass hysteria. It's a mimic. Plenty of platforms are available to sell your product and shine as a professional. :-) Peace.

[@CP-gz6lx]

your giant subtitles really give headaches

[@adz-ql6kv]

DJI Osmo Mobile 7 comes out this year. so for me this review is obsolete.

[@ndeepakprasath2489]

Do you even know when is the release?

[@michaelbell75]

Not being able to use filters with this is an absolute deal breaker. How are you going to shoot at the correct settings on a sunny day with no ND filter on your phone? Worthless gimbal.

[@christopherpackart]

Yeah the payload issue is a bummer. I have a regular gimbal for my mirrorless but was wanting a smaller one just for my phone but I have a case and probably will have some attachments to it.

[@pacific-coast-highway]

[@dylandigby1776]

Those captions are atrocious

[@MrPaulXavier]

Sorry they bother you so much
