I purchase this after purchasing the Zhiyun - Crane 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer. I had initially intended to use my Canon EOS 6D to do some filming, but soon realized the size of my camera and the gimbal were too much to bring on vacations. The quality of this product is very good. It's high quality plastic, unlike the Zhiyun which is all aluminum, but it still feels well made. It is easy to balance a phone, I have the Iphone XS Max, which fits well, but I don't like using my case with it. The app they provide is great. It's feature rich and easy to navigate around in. Some of the functions of the controls on the body of the Osmo Mobile 3 are a little on the difficult side, but not so overly complex that it should slow you down in any way. I spent a few dollars more to get the case and tri-pod, which isn't a necessity, as you can aftermarket ones for it. Any standard tri-pod will work. It doesn't have replaceable batteries, but the battery should last all day under normal usage. Pros: lightweight collapses down for travel. App is excellent Lots of youtube videos with tips and tricks Cons: Buttons are a little confusing at first Non-replaceable batteries (see note above)

Recently purchased this unit and the upgrades it features over the 2 are well worth it. The ability to charge your phone from the unit, instant switch from landscape to portrait, and usb type c connectivity makes this a win. They have also managed to shrink down the size and weight slightly and make it foldable. I would definitely recommend.

The DJI Osmo Mobile 3 is a perfect on the go gimbal for quick vlogging. The panoramic function gives the user options on how many frames to use when creating a panoramic photo. Unlike the Ronin gimbal, it’s easier to balance a smart phone than a dslr/mirrorless (unless you really plan on filming short videos then Ronin is the way to go). The portability of the Osmo Mobile 3 is what really is appealing given that the customer picks up the package that has the tripod leg. Also, don’t forget to download the DJI Mimo app to access all the features. Battery life is really good and should be able to hold its charge throughout the day. As of this writing, the new DJI Osmo Mobile 4 is out with the magnetic holder. The Mobile 3 is still a great buy. Definitely a must have.

Customers are impressed with the Osmo Mobile 3's ease of use, video quality, and stability. Many also appreciate its lightweight design and reasonable price point, considering it a great value. However, some users experienced challenges with the software and tracking features, particularly with the zoom function and setup process. Improvements to the app and its functionality are suggested by some users.
