After seeing loads of reviews and Youtube videos of impressive results with this, jumped on it during Black Friday.The gimbal itself is great, really smooths out handheld and moving shots and gives professional looking results.But the DJI app for it… Oh dear. I now realise why all of the impressive Youtube videos were shot using iPhones, not because the Apple camera is necessarily better (not getting into that argument fanboys, I really don’t care!), but because the Android app doesn’t have all of the functionality which it’s Apple store counterpart enjoys.Problem 1 – 30FPS is your only option on the android app, no 60FPS or higher is possible. This is also why slo-mo is missing from the Android app, as 30FPS is not fast enough to slow down without becoming jerky.Google / Androids fault this one apparently, seems that they refuse to allow third party apps to use the phones camera at more than 30FPS, whereas Apple have no problem with this. Using a gimbal to smooth out unwanted motion is great, but if you can’t use a higher frame rate for silky smooth playback, that’s not cool at all. Yes, you can use this as a straightforward gimbal with the phones own camera app to get 60FPS etc, but then you can’t make use of some of the features the OSMO boasts, such as auto-tracking and other functions which require the phone to be able to control the gimbal directly.Problem 2 – It is not possible to save video / photos shot using the DJI app to SD Card. They will ONLY save to the phones own storage. This is despite DJIs spec sheet and FAQ saying that you can save to SD card on Android.From DJIs forums, people have been screaming out for this simple ability for over a year, DJIs response was to repeatedly tell people that they could already do this by giving incorrect instructions on how, then eventually they admitted that it’s not currently possible, and they don’t seem bothered about updating the app to include this. It’s not possible on current nor previous versions of Android.They have STILL not however removed that claim from the OSMO webpage, despite admitting that it’s not correct and it being pointed out to them multiple times. Various workarounds have been tried by the community with no success, or end up being too long winded for me to bother with. From the DJI forums again, it appears that you are also unable to install the 280MB app anywhere but the device itself, not to an SD card.Yes, phones nowadays are having more and more internal storage, but usually at a higher price for the handset. I should not need to buy a new phone to have enough space to save high res video from this app when I have a 200GB SD Card installed which is barely 20% full.Nice physical item, let down by software support for Android. If you only intend to use it as a stabiliser and use the Android camera app, certainly good… But if you don’t need the features provided by the app, there are cheaper options which perform just as well. If you want the extra functionality which the app brings, be warned it’s cut down compared to the iPhone version, and you had better have enough free space in the phones native storage because that’s where your footage is going.

Overall a great gimbal when paired with the app howeverI have an iPhone 11 Pro and when using the ultra-wide camera and a case on the phone it shows part of the gimbal motor. If you adjust its position so the motor doesnt show he device is then unbalanced. DJIs answer is to remove the case from my phone, not really an option as its a protective case! Im lookig at counterbalancing this with a weight screwed into the side but the current ones on the market may weigh too much so it might be a case of creating one.Update – I bought a set of counter weights and found that just 1 was perfect to give the exact balance and work as expected, shame they werent an official DJI thing but it works perfectly now.

This is a smooth gimbal that works well with large/heavy phones (mine is a Samsung Note). All the controls are well positioned, but it does not come with any documentation; you need to find and download the manual to learn what multiple presses of the buttons and trigger do.You also need to download and install the DJI Mimo application on your phone. As of 10-Oct-2019 there is a bug that may cause this to freeze on Android phones the first time you use it, when it runs through its ‘What the buttons do’ tutorial. Set your font size to SMALL before you first run the app. After the one-time ‘buttons tutorial’ has finished, you can reset your font size back to your preferred setting. DJI are aware of this and promise it will soon be cured.The Bluetooth connection is made through the DJI Mimo app, not the normal Android pairing method.Some complain of jerky video when doing a slow horizontal pan: That is caused by your phones image stabilisation not this device. Turn off the phones image stabilisation before filming a slow pan shot.Its battery life is very good.The combo version comes with a tripod plus hard and soft cases. There is no room in the hard case for the tripod.After using it extensively for 2-weeks I’m impressed with the results. So despite lacking printed documentation and the minor (but easily to avoid) glitch during the software ‘tutorial’ I am very pleased with it. Find and download the manual whilst you are waiting for it to be delivered.

It works well with iPhones, but I have a Google Pixel 3 that captures great videos in the dark, but that doesn’t work through the DJI mimo software on Androids, making it useless at night time. I’m very disappointed by that. Most features won’t work outside their software so I can’t use different capture software with it. It’s fun for day time, but no smooth videos at nighttime with this one.

It’s my first gimble. I used it for a week. In most situations, it works well. I post a video taking with/without Osmo mobile 3, so you guys can see how it stabilized the video. So far, I would say it’s a good accessory I will keep in my travel bag. I like the foldable design, it is easy to put into my bag and the weight is light, easy to handle it.There are still somethings not good enough. When I downloading the DJI Mimo app from google play store, it was stucked several times then the installation was frozen. Fortunately, it was done. So I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

Absolutely love how well-designed this gimbal is. I use it with my Galaxy Samsung Note 9 (not pictured here because- well I had to write this note while taking pictures for this post…:-)). The only function thats missing for me is the possibility to switch front to rear camera while filming selfies for Vlog. I am using the DJzi Mobile 3 with the following additional equipment: FilmicPro app for added Pro filming functionality. Rhode2Go wireless sound system connecting the smartphone Sound Jack to the Rhode transmitter unit (you also need to to purchase a little Rhode SC4 adapter cable between smartphone and transmitter as smartphone Jack has 4 pins, and your traditional microphone Jack has only 3 pins). Then the Rhode receiver is connected to a lavalier microphone that I clip on my shirt. This means I’m now able to put my DJI osmo mobile 3 on the tripod (part of this purchase kit) to film myself doing stuff either on my computer or around the house or in the kitchen or whatever you’d like to produce a video for, and not be bothered by a sound cable running from my mouth to the smartphone which is fixed to the gimble.

Don’t buy the combo! comes with case but no place to put tripod. so combo is useless.Also, you need to install app before you can even use it (activation). So if like me you simply wanted manual control with some stabilization, forget this. Movement is also limited. Doesn’t do 360 rotation not even close . There will come a point while filming out of dji’s rotation capabilities that it will just go crazy cause can’t keep up and I’m just holding it horizontal. Seem this is more for the vlogger that only film themselves in videos and holds the Dji vertically. Really regret buying this.As for quality, it’s there. Motors are totaly silent, but that’s it.The app is bloated, super complex and trying to stuff content down your throat. Why show me videos of others! Who gives a ….. Anyways, ain’t happy and can’t be returned!

Don’t buy this if you want your video to be recorded in 60 frames per second because software doesnt support this on Android. 60 fps is only supported on Iphone.
