DJI have just announced the DJI OSMO Mobile, an adjustable electronic gimbal stabiliser for smartphones. It looks a lot more sophisticated than any of the other phone gimbals around, building on DJI’s expertise in gimbals for professional drone filmmaking.
Unlike most other phone stabilisers it’s self-calibrating, adjusting to the size and weight of your phone when you switch it on. It fits most current smartphones, from the iPhone SE up to the 6S Plus.
A really cool feature of the OSMO GO app is ‘Active Track’: tap to choose something onscreen, and the OSMO will track it smoothly. It can also do pre-programmed motion timelapses, and you can hold it vertically, upside down, or in ‘torch’ mode (out in front of you). I can see it being really useful for mobile journalists, maybe enabling them to dispense with a tripod altogether.
Battery life is claimed to be between 3-4.5 hours, and recharging takes three hours.
It’s the costliest of the smartphone gimbals, but I think it’s worth paying the $299/£289 price.
