@@SiHorrocks Actually, you prevented a significant error. I have an LG V40, which is NOT on DJI’s list of compatible devices. I decided to try the OM 4 hardware anyway but soon discovered that, in return for agreeing to allow DJI access to significant personal information, only a couple of the features of the software would be functional. Problem is, the other device that I was considering, the MOZA Mini-mi, also has severe deficiencies. I decided to go online one last time to look for new reviews of the OM 4, and that is when I discovered, in yours, that a) I must open Bluetooth b) for maximum functionality, the software must be updated with the latest firmware. Here is the significant error that you prevented: I might have discovered that crucial requirement only AFTER I had already returned the OM 4 to Amazon, which is now apparently sold out. The happy ending is that, thanks to your review, I’ve discovered that ALL of the features of the amazing software appear to be present and accounted for in my LG.
@@daisypatritio572 that's great news! I try to include every step to setting up, because small things that get overlooked can have a dramatic impact :D
I have the Osmo Mobile 3 and to get my phone in the Correct place Every Time, I've placed Adhesive Pin Stripe (normally used on cars) on the back of my phone along both sides of the mounting bracket, keeping the back of my phone flat and easy to slide in and out of my pocket. To attach the phone, I put the clip between those two lines! Simple!!! But if you really want a Big Magnet stuck on your phone, get the 4.
I know this is by now a somewhat older product. But I only just got one that I found refurbished by the company on eBay. One thing I really like about this video is the fact that your explanation of all the little things is more detailed than I have seen in other intro to the DJI OM4 Videos. Thanks so much for doing it that way - I've never had a gimble before, and I'm totally stoked!! I was already subscribed to your channel, too.
Just unboxing and setting up, thanks for the very helpful video. However... I have an iPhone 12 pro max with the thinnest of protective cases. The spring mounted attachable clamp does not fit the phone. I mean, I am tripping? Aren't we far enough along in gimbal design that accommodating a protective case - even the thinnest of them - would be accounted for by now? It baaaarely seems to fit around the phone but not enough for a secure grip. You can feel that eventually with even slight movement the phone will pop out. Who wants to remove their phone from their protective case every time they use the gimbal on the fly. Would you be able to recommend the case you are using, and the type of phone you have? It seems to work for you. Thank you.
I re-iterate the previous comment, much preferred to the Yanky doodle drawl, that we have to withstand when a new product hits the market. Yours is and was more comprehensible in every way.. I have subscribed to your channel and hope to hear more of your proper english presentation, instead of the others. Thanks
Very helpful video. The advertising videos are misleading when they show people just slapping the phone onto the gimbal without any attention to aligning the two and everything works perfectly.
I'm finding out the OM4 is somewhat easy every time I watch your video. I do think you compared the wrong Gimbal by Hohem. I think the compatible Hohem Gimbal is the iSteady Mobile+, which it does many of the same features as the OM4. I am now finding out they are both fun to shoot footage with. I now am gonna work on creating footage with the Dolly Zoom on the iSteady Mobile+ and also in the Dyno-Zoom on the OM4. This should be allot of fun.
So I have my magnet thing perfectly placed and aligned on my phone but on video my phone still has the left side of the video angled higher than the right side going in a downward slope from left to right. I’m using an iPhone 11 Pro my Dijo Osmo 3 never did this. Not sure why and haven’t been able to fix on the OM 4 any suggestions?
I found when I was testing it, sometimes it would lean to the left and then after I cycled through a few different modes, or switched between portrait and landscape, it would correct itself
Hello sir, Can you please guide me about the charger? I have dji OM4 se and 18w mobile charger type c ..Can I use it to charge my gimbal ? Please suggest
Thanks. Do you have to download their Mimo app, eg to calibrate or level, if you want to use it with FilmicPro? I just bought one and it’s at a 45 degree angle...
brilliant video, all the dji schills said you dont need to calibrate it and the horizontal calibration indicator in the mimo app is complete nonsense. thx so much man, makes total sense to calibrate the phone like on any gimbal (by hand) to get the best results :-)
Can you confirm if you can get higher resolution like 1080p @30 FPS? Got the DJI OM 3 this week due to Black Friday combined with the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom, altough its maxed to 1080p @30 FPS :\ which is a bummer. My phone is capable of ding 4K @ 60hz. Also my OPPO Reno 10x Zoom is 210 grams, would only this fact be better to get the DJI OM 3 swapped for the DJI OM 4?
I can get 4K with the Mimo app on both my Samsung phones. The OM3 and OM4 are identical in function, they both use the same Mimo app. So only difference is clamp and stronger motors
I have recently purchased the Freefly Movi, but not great with iPhone 12 Pro Max, due to the weight and considering going back to Osmo, had the OM3 before so I guess the OM 4 has to be the one, have you used your new 12 Pro max with either gimbals?
What happens when you have the gimbal paired via bluetooth with the phone, in your phones home screen (not with the mimo app open) and you press the shutter button on the gimbal? Mine controls the volume of my phone? So weird!!? And it only turns it up, it doesn't turns it down..i wonder if this is a firmware issue. Could you please advise before i send it back? Btw, great content. Love the channel
thanks! yeah, you need to connect to the Mimo app after connecting your phone via bluetooth, then switch out of the Mimo app and back to the native app - but leave the Mimo app running
But is it normal for the Shutter Button on the gimbal to control the volume of my phone? I don't really understand this... If the Mimo app is not open, the shutter button shouldn't do anything, should it?
Q: not sure if you can answer this but if my phone is not on the compatibility list on the DJI site, will the Mimo App + OM4 still work with that phone? (my phone btw is an ROG phone 3)
Never would have considered buying a gimble until I saw this video. Excellent review!! Will it be able to hold 301 g (phone + case + ND filter) with the counterweight?
I loved the OM3, but I now have the Galaxy Note 10+ and with the Moment case and a lens the OM3 definately struggles. Don't think the OM4 would do much better. I'm thinking a small DSLR gimbal may be the best option for me
Great review. Hoping you could confirm something about the active tracking for me. Is there an option for placing the square anywhere on the screen or is the square always in the center of the screen.
thanks you! you can set active track manually by drawing across the screen with your finger, so anywhere on the screen. I go over it in the OM 3 tutorial and it's the same as the OM 4 th-cam.com/video/pf8XYnQGey4/w-d-xo.html
Is it worth it over the 3, I’m filming with the iPhone se 2020 so I don’t really need the extra weight it would be for the convenience but the Dji 3 is on sale now
Thank you! I've learned a lot from your channel and used it on my own!! Still learning though, from the pro! BTW, while using the tilt locked mode, how do i prevent it from keep on turning left (after a hard turn)?
Nice review mate...got couple of questions: 1. Do you think a Galaxy Note 10+ phone with Ulanzi case will fit the clamp properly? 2. Would using an Anamorphic Lens and along with a Variable ND would cause issues with weight balance? 3. What if I want to use a Bluetooth mic for vlogging while the OM4 is also connected to the phone via Bluetooth? Would there be any issue? Thanks!
thanks! 1. Difficult to say without having an Ulanzi case to test it with 2. I think that will be ok with counterweights 3. Bluetooth can connect to multiple devices but may make too many demands on your phone's processor. The more you ask it to do, the more it heats up, the more crashes and dropped frames and so on
looking to get this one very soon. Does DJI sell the counterweight for the Moondog labs lens, if not where to get them, or do we even need them with is the auto-balancing system? Does this also work with the Filmicpro app? And thanks for the Great review!
@@SiHorrocks works with Filmic but integration of Filmic on controls lacks a lot... But they rule as app to control camera...thing that Mimo is total outside in corn field.
@@SiHorrocks thank you. Found it. How do u turn this off ? I'm holding the m button but it just goes off in idle mode. I can't like pack it down . It's still stiff . And I only got this 1080p 30fps mode and i can't seem to find the fiture where u can til the camera sideways and rotate as I see many people do 🤔🤔 I've got the Sony Xperia 1 mark 2
