DJI Osmo Mobile 6 is Now Official But Do We Really Want a Mobile Gimbal?

To make the user experience better, iPhone users are going to get access to a nifty feature that lets you start shooting right away. All you have to do is attach the iPhone to the stabilizer and this will bring you to the Mimo app, and your phone’s camera app will be up and running in no time. The purpose here is simple, to be honest – make the user experience better and faster.

Fans of DJI can expect their usual set of favorite features ranging from ActiveTrack, a feature that makes tracking buttery smooth, especially when you are covering longer distances. Aside from ActiveTrack 5.0, you should be getting features such as Tilt Lock, FPV, SPin Shot, Follow, and more. DJI Osmo Mobile 6 has to be one of the most feature-packed mobile gimbals out there.

Here is how these features work.

  • Follow Mode: The camera view goes where the gimbal’s pan and tilt movements go and when you are rolling, stays perfectly level.
  • Tilt Lock: This is an excellent feature that ensures that the camera view only follows the pan movement and does not move at all while rolling or tilting.
  • FPV Mode: In this mode, all three axes of the gimbal have the ability to go where the handle goes.
  • SpinShot: As the name suggests, SpinShot will let you use the joystick in either direction so you can control how the camera rotates, resulting in footage that looks much more dramatic.

The DJI Osmo Mobile 6  has multiple intelligent modes, including Timelapse, DynamicZoom, Gesture Control, Panorama, and Story Mode

DJI Osmo Mobile 6 is now available starting today for $159 and comes with a magnetic clamp, tripod, power cable, and storage pouch.
