DJI launched the Osmo Mobile 6 smartphone gimbal. Like its predecessors, it stabilises phone movies and photographs, but it has a new wheel control to make zooming and focusing easier and a battery status monitor.
“Quick Launch” is DJI’s most fascinating new feature. Only when using the gimbal with iPhones, the attachment can produce a push notification to immediately launch the DJI camera app. The Osmo Mobile 4’s magnetic mount should make shooting faster.
DJI Osmo Mobile 6 has only three new functions. First, iPhone-only Quick Launch. Snapping your iPhone into the clamp launches DJI Mimo. DJI doesn’t say, but we think this involves MagSafe connectors. Android won’t function. A built-in status panel shows battery levels and gimbal mode with a glance. The Side Wheel controls focus and zoom.
Features
The DJI Osmo Mobile 6 also has a new status panel and Mode button. These let you check battery life and choose between Mimo’s four shooting modes:
Follow: In Follow mode, the camera view follows the gimbal’s pan, tilt, and roll movements. This mode allows up-down-and-diagonal shooting.
Tilt Lock: The camera view solely follows the gimbal’s pan movement and stays stable throughout tilts and rolls.
FPV: In FPV mode, the gimbal’s three axes follow the handle. This is great for filming landmarks, buildings, or statues.
SpinShot: Rotate the camera with the joystick to generate dynamic footage. Push, pull, and high-angle shots are easy.
DJI’s new Slide Wheel enables for creative composition and zooming in and out. You may create a cinematic look by switching to manual focus.
Osmo Mobile has built-in intelligence features like previous generations:
Timelapse: Timelapse, Motionlapse, Hyperlapse warp time and space. Beautiful moments can be combined with these three templates.
DynamicZoom: Use Move In and Move Out to create blockbuster footage on your phone.
Gesture Control: Gesture Control makes taking photos and starting videos easy. Selfies and group photos are easy with simple motions.
Panorama: 33, 240°, and CloneMe panorama options assist photograph stunning landscapes or unusual compositions.
Story Mode: Various templates mix camera motions, transitions, soundtracks, and more so users can share eye-catching films with one swipe.
