First real review of this new beginner gimbal. It's got a lot going for it -- and actually beats DJI's up-level OM6 in total tilt range. That's a good thing, yes? No selfie-stick, but not 100% sure that's a bad thing -- as they added a much better battery along with the little screen showing the shooting mode you are in. Overall excellent review -- thanks. As a result I picked one up today. We’ll see how it goes.
@@jtey9 the Mobile 5 and 6 both have an extension rod giving an additional 8” or so of length to the gimbal. They also have a lower battery capacity. It’s all about trade-offs with these consumer-aimed products.
This guy seriously is awesome he simplified in the best way possible, all the info we need to know in the fastest way and the easiest way to comprehend, My man this a channel worth following
Just a heads up for those considering the DJI Osmo 6 and SE for your next adventure to amusement parks like Disney World: While the Osmo 6 boasts premium features including a telescoping handle, it’s worth noting that telescopic or extending camera sticks are not permitted in many amusement parks. This makes the Osmo SE, which shares many of the high-end features of its pricier sibling but without the extending handle, the go-to choice for those memorable park adventures. Keep this in mind to ensure your gear is park-friendly and your visit is hassle-free!
Hey Dan! Nasılsın? Kullandığı 18650 pil bende fazlaca var. İçindeki pili değiştirebiliyor muyuz? Ürün incelemesi için teşekkürler. Türkiye'den çok selam.
just ordered the se 3 so far I like what you have said about this model. I hope it helps me with my RUclips vlogs esp. walking vids. Ill for sure check out your other vids, thanks for this honest review brother. Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico ✌🏽
Does it track/focus/etc using the native camera app, or would I have to use a dji app? I've been out of the video world for a few years and I'm looking for good cheap options to get back into it.
I just bought a DJI Osmo Mobile SE Intelligent Gimbal, 3-Axis Phone Gimbal from Amazon since I´ll be traveling to Spain next week. I was wonder how can I charge this gimbal. Can I use the my iPhone SE 2022 charger? Thank you for your video. 🤔
You need to use their app unfortunately. You can livestream through the app but if you need to use other apps then the tracking does not work. This could be a good alternative for you: ruclips.net/video/yqUSA7WVk3c/видео.html
Tracking only works in the app app? What would happen if you streamed on TikTok would it still track or would you have to manually control its tracking?
I believe that you would have to manually track, if you’re looking for something like that then check out this option: ruclips.net/video/yqUSA7WVk3c/видео.html
If you used what's app to make a video call then would this thing still work and track you around the room? Or do you have to use DJI's software on the phone for it to track you? Or can that tracking be in the background as you use another app in the foreground? Nobody covers this aspect.
I create walking tours, and am thinking of buying one. However as I am on a (tight) budget, is this really going to be necessary? I currently use a selfie stick when I film, and has worked out well, not a bad $25 investment. I am wondering if this will be a significant improvement over a selfie stick and an iphone 12.
Hi, is it possible to use this at all without the app? If yes, what functionalities are available without it? I don't really like having to sideload an APK that somehow wasn't accepted in the Google PlayStore. 😅
Hi Dan. I'm looking for a gimble to shoot a walkthrough house tour type of video (nothing too fancy just some tracking and panning shots) with an external bluetooth mic. Would you say this would be a good option? I'd also be using it to shoot content for Instagram and Tiktok, I've seen some comments that it might not be compatible to shoot for Tiktok. I'm in between this gimble and AOCHUAN 3-Axis Smart X Gimbal. What are your thoughts?
Hi, you said that the tracking isn’t great if you moved in too close or moved too fast. I’m looking to get a gimbal for making memories of me for my hobby Bjj. What would you recommend for reliable tracking that is still entry level-ish.
Hello , thank you u appreciate your review . Can u help me with the understanding that will it handel the weight of the heavy phone , as mine is z flip 4 samsung
Using a gimbal at a battery pack may seem like a good idea but in practice I’ve seen that some of them don’t actually allow you to use the gimbal itself while charging the phone which makes it less then useful in my opinion. Just as easy to carry a battery pack
Awesome review I have been considering buying one for a month now I have a GoPro hero 3 which is old and not great quality so definitely considering this one 🔥
Hm, I don’t believe so. I haven’t been able to make it work. I’m using the Hohem Mic-01 at the moment. It seems to give you control over the shutter button.

Hi I’m using the OSMO mobile se but I keep seeing a notification in the app saying battery temperature low turn off and warm up battery anyone know what the issue could be. I’m powering it on and then it turns off
I wonder if it holds up S22 which has a button in the middle on the right side ,so you need to slide it aside not to press the button by the clamp. Another query is if it can handle= stabilise the phone with a mice attached to a usb-c port. Can you answer,pls?

Awesome review! I am thinking about getting this gimbal for rolling shots (on the highway for filming motorcycles and cars) But I feel very anxious about the magnet for the phone.. Is it actually pretty sturdy?
@@DansTubeTV If the stabilization modes work at least, then it's good. At least for compatibility with older phones, you won't need to worry about the Mimo app not working.
Have you tested the operation when exceeding the weight limit? I ask because i typically use a telephoto lens which puts my phone's total weight at 333grams
Great content! you mentioned that there are other options out there with a better tracking system. Would you mind sharing? That's one of the most important factors for me as shop around for a smartphone gimble
I played with one (briefly) today using an S21 FE which is slightly smaller and lighter than an S21+, and probably less powerful as well. I thought the phone worked pretty well with the gimbal, so the bigger phone should have no problem with it!

Yes! Exactly right, this gimbal is great 👍

You would need to use the DJI app.
Thank you for your Nice review,
I have an A52s and i wanna know does it compatible with it ?
And this one is better or insta 360 ?
I haven’t used this gimbal with the A52 and I also have not used Insta360’s gimbal so I can’t comment on either of those experiences. Sorry 😞

Yes, you should be able to use any wall charger with a USB-C cable.
You mentioned there is better one for tracking. Can you pls recommend the budgeted version but good for tracking?
Would you recommend this or the OM 4 SE?
Thanks!
They are both similar. I would suggest looking at them both on DJI’s website and then going with your gut. There are not many differences.
Is it comfortable with s23ultra??
I don’t own that phone so I can’t comment 😞

For most accurate tracking, what would you suggest?
The Osmo Mobile 6 👌
Got one for best battery, thank you for reviewing it
Of course 🔋
I think I should get this for my gym workouts
Does it connect with extrenal mic wireless while use dji mimo app?
Yes, you can make that happen using bluetooth.
@DansTubeTV does this gimbal support all 3 cameras of google pixel 7 pro
I do not know, check the compatibility list on DJI’s website or contact them directly.
I wish all reviewers are like you 💯 on point

Yes, this will improve your video stability and will make your content more enjoyable to watch.
Hi, is it possible to use this at all without the app? If yes, what functionalities are available without it?
I don't really like having to sideload an APK that somehow wasn't accepted in the Google PlayStore. 😅
You should be able to use most of the buttons. I believe that it would be the tracking feature that you would need the Mimo app for.
Amazing video, man. Superb. Thank you for your efforts making it!
No worries at all mate. Thanks for watching!
Sorry for my dumb question, but, can this Gimbal hold the phone in portrait mode?
Yes 🙌
Can you use it for FaceTime?
Yes, that would be fine.

No, unfortunately not. I would love to test it 👌
Can you recommend a gimbal similar to the SE with similar budget but with an extendable stick? Thank you very much in advance.
Yes. The Hohem iSteady v3 is great! I just reviewed it on my channel, check it out.
Out of all the DJI gimbals which can point straight down if i attach it upside down to the wiral lite?
They all should be able to.
Is those supposed to be better than the osmo 6?
No, it is technically the slightly cheaper, slightly more budget friendly offering.
Thanks for sharing. Can you say if the gimbal can swing from lower ground towards the top keeping the mobile camera in front? Hope that male sense 😊
Yes, I believe so 👌

I have a google pixel 3 smartphone, will this work with it? Can anyone tell me? Thanks:)
Yes, it should be fine. Check the compatibility list on their website, link in the video description.
Hello , thank you u appreciate your review . Can u help me with the understanding that will it handel the weight of the heavy phone , as mine is z flip 4 samsung
If you go to the product website then they will have a smartphone compatibility list. See if your phone is compatible with the gimbal.
Is this compatible with samsung s23 ultra?
It should be, use the link in my video description to find the phone compatibility list.
Whats the difference between om 4 & om 4 se. And what is the best one.
They are both very similar. If you go to DJI’s website then you can compare the 2 gimbals through their store.
Nice vid! Do u happen to know if it is compatible with s21 ultra?
It should be, check the compatibility list on their website. The link is in my video description.
Would this be good for making cooking videos with?
Yeah, it would do the job!
how do you calibrate it? thanks :-)
You can go into the DJI Mimo app and calibrate the gimbal through the settings.
Hey, can you charge this gymbal from the battery bank and at the same time passthrough charging to the phone? Thanks in advance
No, I don’t believe that works.
Using a gimbal at a battery pack may seem like a good idea but in practice I’ve seen that some of them don’t actually allow you to use the gimbal itself while charging the phone which makes it less then useful in my opinion. Just as easy to carry a battery pack
Does this extend to higher?
No, this gimbal has a fixed height.
Will it work with iPhone 13 Pro Max ?
Yes 🙌
Brica b steady xs2 or dji osmo mobile se ?
I haven’t used the other gimbal, only the Osmo Mobile.
is it compatible with iphone 11 pro?
Yes, it should be fine 👌
Can it handle heavy phones like samsung s24 ultra? Thats the problem im having with gimbals the machine (motor) cant seem to handle heavy phones
I believe so, if you follow the link in the video description then you will find the compatibility list.
can it zoom to 0.5 with an iphone? i have a smooth q and it will only zoom out to 1x not 0.5x
Yes, I think so. I don’t own the gimbal anymore but I remember it would zoom in intervals.
Most video reviews do NOT need background music - this Video is no exception - just annoying
Can it handle iPhone any pro max weight?
Yes. I just picked one up about a week ago and it has no issue with any of the phones I've used.
Yes 🙌
Dan, I ordered this gimbal. We'll see if it works with my anroid Samsung phone. Great and helpful video.
I hope so 🤞
Awesome review I have been considering buying one for a month now I have a GoPro hero 3 which is old and not great quality so definitely considering this one 🔥

Thoughts on the DJI Osmo Mobile SE vs DJI - Osmo Mobile 6 ?

Can this gimbal be locked in a fixed position with zero tilt or pan?
Yes, you can squeeze the trigger on the back to lock tilt and pan movements.
Does the record button work in other apps like TikTok? I want a gimbal that allows me to press and hold to record clips like when making TikTok videos

I’m glad, thanks for watching!
Hey, great review. I think I'll pick it up. But, I have a question can this gimbal be used along with a DJI Osmo Action 4 for better stabilization
You might struggle to make the Action 4 work with the Osmo Mobile but I’m sure that people have done it.
Hi does it have Dolly zoom mode?
Yes, you can use the dynamic zoom mode.
Hi I’m using the OSMO mobile se but I keep seeing a notification in the app saying battery temperature low turn off and warm up battery anyone know what the issue could be. I’m powering it on and then it turns off
Weird, I’ve never heard of that before. Try contacting DJI.
Same price as Osmo 5 in India, and I’m guessing in most places where Osmo 5 stocks are still around. Is it a better buy than 5?
Get the 5 😉
Hi, can you film yourself with it easily? It there a button for it or would you manually have to turn the cam?
I'm asking for vlogging :)
You can start recording with a gesture and then the gimbal will follow you with another gesture.
I wonder if it holds up S22 which has a button in the middle on the right side ,so you need to slide it aside not to press the button by the clamp.
Another query is if it can handle= stabilise the phone with a mice attached to a usb-c port.
Can you answer,pls?
Great questions, I have no idea though 😂 I don’t own the S22 and don’t have the option to attach a mouse to my phone.
@@DansTubeTV btw mice= microphone,if you do not get it.
Good that I discovered it, I was ready to give 140 euros for OM6, now I've found used SE for 70e 😂
Nice one! Glad that I could help.
What is the differences between osmo mobile 4 se vs se? Whaiting
If you go to DJI’s website then you can compare the two gimbals.
Do you really have to download the app?
No, you can use the native camera app but some of the features will not work.
Can you recommend a stabilizer that is better than this one ?
The Hohem M6. Check out my recent review 👌
Can u shoot vertical?
Yes, you can!
Thank you for your video with clear explanations.
That's why I bought the SE.
Although it is not fully compatible with the Samsung A52, the main functions work well for my purpose.
Greetings from the Netherlands
That’s good to hear, thanks for watching!
Hi thank you for your explanation, I also have A52s and I Wana know why it wasn't fully compatible? What was wrong about it ?
@@Saman_kitchen I have already bought one. I found out that the A52 is compatible if you use the DJI APP.
Can you get the gimbal to rotate so you can use the phones main camera to take selfies?
Yes 🙌
Awesome review! I am thinking about getting this gimbal for rolling shots (on the highway for filming motorcycles and cars) But I feel very anxious about the magnet for the phone.. Is it actually pretty sturdy?
Yes, it is sturdy and you also have a clamp that will hold the phone 🗜️
I came looking for the same answer, have you used it on the highway yet?
Will this work the the native camera app of Android phones?
I don’t know if all of the buttons will work, I will need to test this.
@@DansTubeTV If the stabilization modes work at least, then it's good. At least for compatibility with older phones, you won't need to worry about the Mimo app not working.
Will this be ideal to shoot an ad for a buisness?
I’m sure that you could make it work.
just ordered one.. maybe I shoulda watched this first????
Maybe next time 😂 You can connect with me on other socials to stay in the loop 🔁 linktr.ee/danstubetv
is recording through app gives the same output quality as the main camera app ???
Yes, you have all of the same camera options though the app and the quality seems to be the same.
Can I use a camera on it?
No it's made for mobiles
No, this is a smartphone gimbal. DJI sells camera gimbals: linktr.ee/danstubetv
Bhai isme niche jameen se tika kar video banana ho to wo shoot nahi ho pata , kyonki gimble ka handle jameen ko touch ho Jaa Raha hai
Great video mate!
Does it have a portrait mode or is it just a landscape mode?
Thank you! Yes, it does have portrait mode.
I like the way you explain how to used it and for that I subscribe.
Thanks for the sub 🤝
@@DansTubeTV It's my pleasure.
Does it provide 60 fps on Android
Yes, I don’t see why not. As long as your phone supports that.
And what about DJI mimo app
Yes, I have been able to.
... and how do you attach a microphone? Why doesn't anyone talk about it?
You might be able to buy accessories online to help with mounting a microphone to the unit.
It would be helpful if you had shown how to use it
I did show how to use it. It is not hard to operate the Osmo Mobile SE.
Well for the minor movements you can always Stabilise in post. It might crop a tiny bit off the edges....
Yeah, good point!
Is it suitable with Android phones?
Yes, check the compatibility list on their website.
Compatible with s22 ultra ?.... s22 ultra weight about 230gms . But gimbal recommend weight is 200gm. Kindly advise
I haven’t tested the gimbal with the s22 so I can’t comment. If the phone is over the recommended payload then I would not recommend this gimbal.
Have you tested the operation when exceeding the weight limit? I ask because i typically use a telephoto lens which puts my phone's total weight at 333grams
I have not tested this, I don’t have the capacity to test it either. Sorry that I can’t help more.
