Customer Ratings & Reviews

This version is more compact and sleek looking, the telescopic mast is cool but not enough to be useful. When using remote pan and tilt this model has a lower range of motion than previous models. The auto on when unfolding makes it harder to get balanced, but I have not had any issues with motion, battery drain, or heating up motors. Because of the folding feature the phone clamp has to be stored separately. Using the auto track feature while on a stand resulted in a wild back and forth movement. This is a good hand held gimbal, but I definitely prefer the 4 to this one.

While initially slightly disappointed in the included 'instruction manual', it was made up for by following the QR code and going where I needed. That'll be an .apk download you'll have to give your phone permission for, but the app is super helpful. Well that and it's very nearly mandatory for complete, proper use of the gimbal. Because of that, I feel that the app is integral to using this device and needs to be brought up in the review. The device itself is sturdy and has a good weight to it. Most of the controls will be in easy reach of most users, with only the zoom/focus wheel posing any kind of problem for those with shorter thumbs. Along those lines, it does seem to be designed heavily toward right-handed use, and that may just be a statistical design choice. The magnet on the phone clamp feels strong and left no worries that the phone would drop from the gimbal, and the arm is strong enough to hold likely any phone currently on the market. Controls are simple to use and grasp once you know what they mean, and that's where the app really shines. As stated, the app is pretty much mandatory for proper use, as it connects via bluetooth to join your phone and the gimbal. Without it, most of the buttons don't properly function, if they do anything at all. The app, aside from granting full use of the device, grants full use of all camera controls by using the camera through the app. It also contains a number of templates and such to help make quick movies, with direction on how to set them up and pull the shots you need. Speaking of direction, you should find your way to the tutorial videos included within the app, as they give a step by step breakdown on how to use the device, what each of the settings mean and are capable of, and how to make the most out of your new accessory. Aside from the instruction manual issue, my only gripe is that I have to remove my case every time I want to put my phone in the gimbal, as I couldn't get it to function well with the case on--it seems to throw off the motors and the magnet. Overall, 4.75/5.

If you’re looking to up your photography or videography using your mobile device, this stabilizer will help you accomplish that! Working the best with the DJI MIMO App and an iPhone, you’ll find you get some amazing features with this gimbal stabilizer. You get 3-axis stabilization, a built-in extension rod, and ActiveTrak 5.0 allowing you to track even the most difficult subjects and keep them in frame. Unboxing you’ll find the main Osmo Mobile 6, the magnetic phone clamp, the tripod, charging cable, and a little storage pouch. Getting the Osmo Mobile 6 setup is very simple. Download the DJI MIMO App and it will pair via Bluetooth to your phone and walk you through tutorials on how to operate the different features and modes of the device. While you can utilize the gimbal without connecting to the DJI MIMO App, you do lose some functions like ActiveTrak, switching between cameras, switching shooting modes (photo/video), using the focus or zoom wheel, or using the record button. The functions of the gimbal continue to work, but obviously any feature that relies on communication to your phone becomes very limited. Overall, the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 has a ton of features to allow flexibility and get you professional looking stabilized footage. With ActiveTrak, not only can you make sure your subject stays perfectly centered in frame, you can also use the included stand and have the gimbal follow you around even if you’re shooting something by yourself. This is a huge advantage if you’re a content creator on the go and use your phone a lot to shoot footage. The built-in tripod mount is also a huge advantage allowing the ultimate flexibility for whatever mount you need to connect the Osmo to. On top of all of those features, the gimbal will also extend into a selfie-stick. The different gimbal modes give you a good amount of flexibility on which axis you want to lock down or prioritize. You have Follow mode which will lock your orientation angle but allow you to pan up, down, left, and right. The second mode is Tilk Lock, which will only follow your left or right panning. If you need to pan up or down, you will use the joystick on the Osmo. The 3rd mode is FPV mode which will unlock all 3 axes. Not only will you get panning, the camera will now be allowed to change it’s orientation angle. The final mode is SpinShot allowing you to control the orientation angle using the joy stick. For me, I found the 1st mode the most natural, while modes 2 and 3 allowed some flexibility depending on what shot I was attempting to achieve. In conclusion, if you’re needing a compact, feature rich gimbal stabilizer, you don’t need to look further. DJI is a leader in image stabilization from their gimbals to their drones. They make great products and back them with good customer service. I’ve seen some users report issues or limited functionality using Android devices, but I’m confident DJI will be able to fix those bugs moving forward. For the best experience, pairing with an iPhone and the DJI MIMO App will not leave you disappointed.

This is my first smartphone gimbal, so I was super excited to get this Osmo 6 version and try it out. After a little bit of a learning curve, I love this thing! Right out of the box, you’ll notice that hard copy instructions or quick start guide material is lacking. For iOS users at least, that’s not a problem because you simply scan the included QR code and the app store takes you right to the DJi app to download, and the app immediately recognizes the Osmo 6 as the item you’re using, and begins walking you step by step through all the initial setup process, and explaining all the features along the way, in both text and videos. The app tutorial is quite impressive. It uses a super strong magnet base attachment for your phone, that easily expands to fit large phones with cases. I’m using an iPhone 14 Pro Max with an Otterbox case, and it has no trouble fitting inside the expanding base attachment. This then secures to the Osmo 6 with a strong magnet, allowing you to securely shoot your videos and photos, and remove your phone in a snap at any moment. The magnet is strong enough that I have no worries at all about the phone coming off the mount. Controls are perfectly placed no matter which hand you use to shoot with. You have controls for tilting and panning, quick access to front or rear cameras, zoom and manual focus control, preset modes for different shooting styles and a trigger for activating follow mode, to stay locked on to your subject as you or they move around. Also the buttons have double click features that allow extended options like flipping from portrait to landscape mode in a breeze, or re-centering the gimbal. It also has a tripod stand for table top placement and a built in extension rod. It uses it’s own DJi app for the video and photo controls, which I haven’t had a problem with. You get more controls over the aspects of your shots compared to Apple’s built in camera app, and you have the ability to customize things like ISO, Shutter Speed, Resolution and FPS, etc. The controls are pretty intuitive and easy to use, and the 3 axis stabilization really shows in your final videos. Everything is super smooth and centered, so much better than just using a traditional phone holder or selfie stick. The learning curve for me was adjusting to the “non” movement of the camera angles that I’m accustomed too, based on body and hand movements while filming. Letting the gimbal offer precise balance and stabilization is wonderful, it just takes a little getting used to in order to perfect your shooting style with it. So much fun to play with. It has a sold build, and pretty lightweight, not overly heavy, and folds down to a respectable size for travel. I don’t know that I ever want to shoot mobile video without a gimbal again, and the Osmo Mobile 6 has been the perfect tool for me so far.

This is a rather impressive piece of hardware. The folding/unfolding mechanism, magnets to attach the phone and stretch phone mount make it easy to attach your phone and get up and running quickly. The gimbals and motors really do keep the phone steady/the video stable and it can track people which is a nice touch. The joystick also moves the phone just where you want it smoothly without jerking and the buttons give you rapid control to start/stop recording, flip the phone from portrait to landscape and other key features. It also feels good in the hand with a good heft and solid feel without being too heavy which is huge. Where it lets down a bit (for Android users at least) is on the software side. Due to a dispute with Google (and, to some degree, the US government), DJI's app is not available on the Google Play store, and must be downloaded and "sideloaded" from their website. This means that you must enable installing non-Play Store apps in the security settings of your phone, turning off one of the security features of Android (with that setting turned off, it will let you install - purposefully or not - apps from ANY source). It's also a setting that some corporate environments require you to keep enabled. So, for Android users at least, this is an issue. Once you get the software installed, either on Android or iOS (where it is found in the Apple App Store), it's a pretty nice experience, giving you quick tutorials on the major features and letting you use some of the buttons to control the phone directly (it guides you through pairing the phone and the gimbal). Overall, the software is a big plus for the device - BUT I do wish it was directly available in Google's Play Store (DJI, can you work on that!) All told, this is a really nice package (with the one caveat about Android users) for those looking to get better video, but still looking to use their smartphones/not invest in an expensive dedicated camera. You can shoot cinematic looking videos easily and be the envy of all your followers - which is the goal, right?

When I’m shooting in different angles i can see a arm of the grimble on the video also tripod stand got loosen….. I always get disturbance with one of its arm and tripod stand is loose

I am not a professional photographer, but I am a bit of a photography enthusiast. I mostly focused on still images mainly because handheld video is never easy to get right. So this is the first gimbal I have ever used and I must say I am very impressed. Video while moving is super steady and the ability to track targets is incredibly useful. Still coming up with different ways to use this feature as it opens up so many possibilities. In the box you get the gimbal, phone clip and tripod and charging cable Out of the box, set up is easy and intuitive - scan a QR code and download an app, pair the gimbal with Bluetooth. The app offers lots of training for newbies like myself via tutorial videos. And you pick up a lot just by experimenting with the different features. Physical controls are in easy to use places, and the wheel for zoom and button for swapping between stills and video are very useful. The gimbal is well balanced and ergonomically designed. This is an easy device to recommend to anyone wanting to take their cell phone videos to the next level.

This product is great! The video is steady. The controls are easy to use to shoot in wide mode or vertical for social media platforms. The quick connect mechanism for the phone to the gimbal is perfect. The tripod is so useful.

It is a very good quality product, it is perfect for travel, it is very light, I love it.

landscape not practical. 50 character minimum filler

Stable and easy to use. Transformed my videography.

The DJI Osmo 6 is an amazing phone gimbal. I have been using an Osmo 2 for the last few years but the Osmo 6 is a serious upgrade to my previous model. Setup takes less than a few minutes, you download the DJI Mimo and pair it with your smartphone and you’re off and ready to go. A nice new feature of the osmo 6 is that when you unfold it it automatically turns on. If you need to start recording quickly that is a great feature. The holder for the phone is magnetic and will stretch wide enough so that you can leave your phone in a case, which my previous osmo could not do. The osmo will also automatically open up the Mimo app upon connection! The stabilizer for the phone is much more fluid and stronger than previous models. Sometimes with my osmo 2 if I didn’t have the phone balanced in the right spot it would kind of flop over and be non functional. I didn’t experience that at all with the new osmo 6, even with the added weight of a case. The active track 5.0 is phenomenal and allows you to stay focused on a face or object. The osmo will keep it in focus the entire time no matter which way you turn it. They’ve also added the ability to extend the osmo with a retractable arm that will allow you to get more people in the frame or get lower to the ground effortlessly. The osmo also has 4 shooting modes: Follow, which follows the gimbals pan and tilt movements. Tilt locked, which only uses the gimbals pan movements. FPV mode, which utilizes all 3 axes of the gimbal which is the mode I use the most for Real Estate video walkthroughs. Spinshot utilities the joystick to rotate the camera to make dynamic footage. Finally there’s a new side wheel which allows you to zoom in and out effortlessly while recordings. All of these features combine for a very good phone gimbal. I highly recommend the osmo for anyone who needs an inexpensive gimbal to stabilize photos or video. It really is one of the best products that DJI makes in my opinion.

It’s a good evolution of a good product. I used a previous generation professionally and they fixed what used to annoy me and added some unexpected features.Similarly I know that I will be able to continue to use this device for 3 or more years without needing to replace it due to wear or becoming obsolete.

Easy to use for on the go. Please be aware the payload is pretty low but I got this with the intention of traveling and fits my needs!

Exelent product! It's a wonderful tool amd super easy to use! I bougth an open box without the charging cable.

It’s been a long time since there’s a tech product that I have unboxed and just played around with for 45 minutes before even having a reason to actually use it… I remember that when I was a kid and I would get something new. This product is one of the coolest things, I’ve purchased in a long time. So much functionality and different features and it really is up to you and your creativity on how you use it.

I have 1 thru 5..... don't know why I keep buying them but it works like all the other ones.

I use this gimble for my job and it has worked very well. I couldn't do my job effectively without this tool.

Product is good and worth the money spent. Also very handy to use.

This product is very well made. You can tell the quality.
