I usually HATE looking for instructional videos because I need to sort through 15 bad ones to find a good one. Not only did I watch this entire thing, but I REWATCHED quite a few parts. Very well done--I'm loving my Osmo even more now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks Emily. I think that is the joy of youtube. I know long videos can (and do) put people off but if there content is useful at least you get to come back to it in the places you find helpful. Thanks for the feedback. Hope you enjoy the Osmo Mobile 2!
Tried watching other SHORT videos on the DJI OSMO 2 , but they left me with many questions, and still unable to properly use and know the main functions. Finally bit the bullet, and sat down with my pad of paper and watched your much longer video. I shouldn't have even wasted my time on the shorter videos...they were a waste of my time. Your video is what I needed and what helped me. Thank you
I used mine last night for the first time and one thing I really like is the texture of the handle! Contrary to comments made on your video, the handle, with its rougher texture, makes it easier to hold for extended periods of time. I would have preferred a slightly more aggressive texture but this works just fine. As far as your video, it is more like an instruction manual and I like it for that reason. I especially liked your explanations of its functions. I shoot most of my video with my DSLR and this mount has opened a whole new world. Thanks!
I cannot thank you enough for explaining the features and functions. I am a real estate broker in Southwest Florida and I have started doing more and more videos and my videographer has told me I have to learn how to do more videos by myself which will only help our overall goal. He recommended I buy the Osmo 2 (I had a stedicam once and didn't like it) and learn it. I bought it and struggled using it. Hours and Hours of reading about how to use it vs. watching a video and having it explained to me made all the difference in the world. Wow. I know how to use this now, unbelievable, I honest cannot thank you enough for taking the time to do this video. Thank you so much..great job!!
Thanks for the feedback Mike. Really glad I was able to help you get the best out of the Osmo Mobile 2! Bit of practice and a few youtube vids go a lot further than a rubbish instruction manual these days I find :)
I am a novice and have just purchased the Mobile 2. Thank you very much for all the detail and the carefully thought out “unpicking” of the many facilities the Mobile 2 offers. very easy to follow. clear and a great help I am sure to many users. Thank you. When you switch on the device the white battery staus lights go off in the video but with mine they stay onalong with the green power light so I am continually aware of the battery status,nothing to worry about I am sure. Thanks again
Cannot thank you enough. Got a bit of disability going in my old age, and a noob, no doubt, but love playing with tech things. This video is very helpful, as I was struggling with my new DJI. Will revisit from time to time to refresh.
I’ve just purchased the DJI Osmo 2 and the Manual is sparse. I’ve all the videos I’ve watched this one is the best by a country mile! Great work and thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Thanks for a deep and thorough review! Please do not apologise for the length, it is the best review out there covering all functions along with real world experience with competitors. Good work! keep it up.
This is the best DJI Osmo Mobile 2 video out there. I own one and note that the manual is very deficient on detail. As this is my first gimbal, I have a lot to learn. Up until you posted this, I couldn't find anything helpful on the small operational details. While it's long, that's the best part of this video. There are lots of short videos that hit the same 3 or 4 points that everyone discusses. I didn't need another short video. I needed an educational video - which this is. The short videos aren't helpful if you are a novice looking for a how to video or if you want to do a detailed analysis before buying one. Anyways... great work. Thanks for this and thanks for putting the effort into a great video. Time for me to hit the subscribe button.
Hi Gary - Really appreciate your kind words and feedback and most importantly I am really glad my video was what you were looking for. Its the reason I tend to do longer detailed videos. Short and sweet is great for a 'taster' of a product but if you are looking to spend your hard earned cash I for one want to know everything about it (good and bad). I think the key for my content might be doing a short review as well as a detailed video. If nothing else it gives people the option. Anyway I hope you have lots of fun with the Osmo Mobile 2! Thanks again.
Would like to echo Gary's and all positive comments....one thing I look for on a review is clear English at good pace without the typical US euphemism.....congratulations a well constructed piece.
Ditto to that. Not only that I am a late comer, I'm totally new to gimbal. Even with the new pocket model coming out, after a serious study into pros and cons of several gimbals within the same range, I finally opted for this over Smooth 4, because of their Android app and tracking mode. This is by far the best coverage clip around anywhere! However, since it covers just about everything, I would love to see them sorted out into a list of clips for each topic, so I could go back and find what I'm looking for. Thank you so much for such intuitive review!
Just bought the Osmo 2 and this video was superb the only one I have seen that covered all of the controls simply and clearly this is the reason I have subscribed to your channel Thank you Harry (Belfast)
I really enjoy my Osmo Mobile 2. I have to say (agreeing with several other comments) this is one of the best reviews of the Osmo Mobile 2. I learnt a lot from this video. 👍🏻👍🏻 Thumbs up from me. Thanks for sharing.
This is the instructional video to which everyone should be referred. I've watched a half dozen other videos and did not get my questions answered. This one did the trick. Thanks for producing an informative and helpful video!
Excellent review. Loved every second of it. Received this OSMO for my birthday. I was so annoyed with the supplied instructions to say the least. Your review is bang on and gives me, a novice some understanding and confidence to get to grips with it and make some decent videos. Thank you
As a new Osmo user this video was invaluable, especially given the paucity of information in the official manual. Thanks for taking the time to do this - and also taking us through the wonderful English countryside.
I live in Christchurch NZ and have just purchased the Oslo 2. Not having used it yet, i spent time looking for a good construction video. WOW this is it ! Thank you so much, the instructions on how to use the app are just great and now I think I am ready to start shooting. Thank you soooo much
Best description ever. I love the work you have done on it. You should be getting something from DJI to do such fantastic work. All the very best for the future.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Got the Mobile 2 for Christmas. Watched a couple of short youtube vids on it. Learned enough to know the basics. I am pretty intuitive about these things and have been able to get some good footage out of it, BUT! Until I saw your video, in all it's detail, didn't realize it's full potential til now. This is also my first hand held gimbal and after taking videos (family, home) for 20+ years, wished I would have had this back when I started.
Most comprehensive tutorial I have found so far on this gimbal. Thanks. Made a lot of things clear ... of course, things will get etched into my brain only when I actually start playing around with it (just got it yesterday).
D3WEY GUY. Recently got on your case about the length/detail of this tutorial/review. Now I really need to eat my words, because you are the only one I have found who has done a decent treatment of the functions of the DJI GO app. Seriously, thanks for that.
Hi Dan. Be assured i didn't feel you got on my case :). Honest feedback is really helpful to me and at the time, its what you felt which is handy for me to hear. Very pleased you managed to get the best out of the video in the end... the devil i in the details as they say. As i've said to others in here i think I should maybe do seperate videos on future products. Maybe short 10 min review, a detailed review looking at competition and version history and then some tutorial(s). Only reason i don't do that now is time if i'm honest. Either way thanks again for posting.
Tx for taking the time to give so much value!! Best and most informative video out there. I watched and 'absorbed' every second! Much appreciated mate!!
Best video I have found and most in-depth review of the features and functions of the osmo mobile 2 including app navigation. I just picked up my osmo mobile 2 last night. Thank You for such a great video.
I haven’t gone through all of the comments yet, but one thing I’d like to mention is that although you balanced the phone horizontally, you didn’t balance it vertically. The phone clamp slides up and down to accommodate this. It’s quite an important adjustment, as it will put more strain on the up/down motor if it’s out of adjustment, and consequently drain the battery quicker.
What a fantastic review! Certainly didn't feel like 53 minutes watching it. I have an Osmo 2 on order and will definitely be referring back to this video, time and again. Thank you for such a detailed and in-depth review! Liked and subbed 👍😊
I've never used a gimble before and had no idea what do to with it (an awesome present I got for Christmas). The user manual is not fit for toilet paper so I'm very glad I came across your video tutorial as it helped me to get started and hopefully get the best out of my new toy. I love the way you break down the information and then show us how it all comes together and looks at the end of the tutorial. Well done!
Although some of the commenters are complaining about the length of the video I found it very informative. Keep up the good work and thanks for the helpful hints.
Thanks for the input radeaver. I think it varies so much on whether people like quick vids vs detailed long detailed ones. I'm glad you found the details helpful.
What I LOT of work putting this video together. Thank you very much. I just purchased one of these tonight, with your review, it makes me feel good that I went for it. Can't wait to get it here so I can start using it.
when i noticed that this review was almost an hour long my first thought was.... "i'll be bored with this after 5 minutes:... wow how wrong could I be?. This video is is engaging, extremely informative and provides all the information that i wanted in order to make an informed purchase choice. Your pace and tone were perfect, unhurried and interesting and the comprehensive out and about review via footage at the end was perfect. I had been watching severa other reviews prior to yours and was about to give up in boredom, I congratulate you on managing to keep me entertained, awake, and engaged for 53 minutes. Thank you.
This is the best review I've come across and has helped me get nearer to a decision. This is exactly what I needed after seeing a whole plethora of scratch-the -surface "this is crap but this is great " reviews where some made you wonder if there was a bias in evidence to or away from the product. Great stuff Dewey.
Thanks for the positive comments there Steve. I know DJI send their kit pre-release to a lot of TH-camrs. Many are impartial and can probably be trusted in what they say but for me 10 mins or less isn't enough time to even scratch the surface of whether something like this is going to be any good in the long term. Likewise many of the short videos from people sent it free are not really using the kit for more than a few hours. I'll try and keep'em coming. Zhiyun-Smooth4 review up next.
Thanks Aden... yeah i really don't know why the world thinks that everyone leaves their £700+ phone out of a case all the time? Its an area of design that few of the manufacturers ever think enough about too. Glad this helped tho.
Thank you for the very detailed review of the DJI Osmo Mobile 2. Not only a review, actual pointers and tips on how to get the most potential benefit out of it.
Excellent review... to repeat a previous comment, I am a prospective buyer and was looking for a comprehensive detailed description of what the unit did and how to do it. This brilliant video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.
Really useful, brilliant and detailed review of the product. I got it today, and I have to say that watching your video really saved me a lot of fumbling :) Thank you!
The ''M'' has 3 useful functionality settings other than turn ON/OFF. 1 click : Locks completely to one spot 2 clicks: Rebalance and bring it back to start up position 3 clicks: Swap back and front cameras
An utterly superb video indeed!!! Having just purchased the OSMO Mobile 2 your video is the best intro to the device I have found and reassuringly long; all aspects covered. Well done and thank you very much.
Thank you so much. I have just recently purchased the OSMO Mobile 2 and your video helped to understand the full use of the unit. Great detail, I knew when I saw how long it was that is was going to be in depth. The one thing I did not understand had to do with using the osmo 2 and the apple panorama.
great video. I watched several others and was very frustrated as a layman trying to get a handle the basics. This one was excellent. Watched most of it and easily navigated to the parts most relevant to me. Thx!
The best detailed video I finally found!! Thank you so much for giving your time in making this video and sharing every bit of osmo mobile 2. I am really loving to explore more features of my gimbal with your videos help!! Thanks again and keep up your hard work!
Hi I bought my Osmo 2 a couple of months ago and just starting to use it... This has been by far the best video I have watched to date about it. Mind you I guess there has been some f/w update as it is slightly different to your version, but still easy to understand. Thanks :)
Many thanks for all the work you put into this very detailed video. I have just bought a Osmo Mobile 2 and have found your video very helpful. I had not quite appreciated the handicap of being an Android user that your video has pointed out. Hopefully JDI will do something about this! Many thanks again.
Best review about the Osmo Mobile 2! I thought mine was broken after 3 days trying to use, and your video showed me that I should balance it even before turning it on
Thank you so much for this review. It's clear, detailed and covers all of my needs. I have seen other reviews, mostly italian ones, but I must say: your descriptions are concise and effective and get immediately to the point. Again, thank you, from an Italian who has so much to learn ;-)
I was a bit afraid of the 53 minute duration but gave it a go. So I skipped the unboxing but you had me hooked from the physical setup of the phone to the very end. Just get my Osmo2 and fiddling around with it for a couple of days. You video has "fast tracked" me into a more efficient use of the unit. Very very pertinent video
I rarely comment on videos but had to on this one. I'm also a Brit, but I live in Asia, I especially like the countryside shots - reminds me of home. My new Osmo Mobile 2 will arrive in around 2 weeks (can't just pop to the shop to buy one here) and your video made me feel that I already know how to use it without actually having used one before. As a complete novice, it was an excellent 50m and I enjoyed it. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words William. Really appreciate the time taken to comment. Should have your Osmo by now i imagine then? Hope you enjoy it. I bet there are some amazing places in Asia to get great shots with it!
d3weyTube yes, arrived a few days ago. Been playing with it in the garden. Really looking forward to getting out and about. I'm not far from Angkor Wat, so looking forward to testing it out there. Really great video, I was straight into it and got started right away. Thanks again mate!
Thanks for your video. This is by far the best explanation of the gimbal out there and I have searched for a long time and being a first-time user this was awesome and very detailed. Thanks again
Just the video i was after, thank you for making this! I have been unsure about buying this product for some time now & its safe to say after your excellent video i will be making the purchase!
By far the best video on YT about the Osmo mobile 2. I have had mine quite some time but only used it a little so have had to refresh my memory. During the lockdown I have started to use it more regularly and am very pleased with it. Can I ask, when you are riding your bike are you holding it in your hand or do you attach it to the bike somehow?
Just purchased the DJI Osmo Mobile 2 and found this video very informative. Prefer to use Filmic Pro app rather than DJI although not all the settings etc are available. Great video
This was going to be my question. Since I have an Android, it sounds like I’ll have to use Filmic Pro (which I already have) to get the most out of my phone. Have you run across things you can’t use in Filmic with this gimbal?
Outstanding. I was wavering between keeping it and taking it back. I will keep it. Thank you so much. BTW - using the S pen to talk on the screen makes a huge difference. (Note 9)
What a wonderful video and nice to see a long in depth video for once on TH-cam 👍 I’m gonna save this to come back when i get my Osmo 2 next week. Going to use it with my new iPhone XS Max.
Loved the video, It was extremely detailed yet very easy to understand. A lot of reviews out there assume that people already know about the basics. So thanks for your help. Look forward to the next one DW from Ryans Way
inverting pan stick can be used if you put a gopro camera in it, in order to operate you need to keep the gimbal "inverted", with the buttons facing the action.
Its decent. Got it on accident. Meant to order the osmo 3 but got the 2 on accident. Motors seem a little slow but for the price you can't beat it. Gonna wait for the 4 to upgrade.
27:39 I've discovered with pitch lock on that you can still use the joystick to tilt the camera down, up, left or right. If you tilt (pitch) down with the joystick, it locks on to that pitch. If you tilt (pitch) back up, it locks on to that pitch.
This was extremely helpful and MUCH needed. I almost wanted to return it out of frustration but watching this made me want to keep it. Thank you! Definitely saving this video to reference it as needed :)
Awesome review, just received mine today and fortunately discovered your review almost straight away, will re watch it to learn all the features you covered thanks buddy
Excellent review! I was so frustrated with my Osmo Moible 2 gimble until I watched this video and not I just love the thing. You helped to explain lots of issues I had. Thanks a million... Rene
Thanks from Brazil. I loved The review, i Just buy osmo mobile 2 because os this video. And The settings for Android are okay for my galaxy s7 edge. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for the detailed video🤩 It was brilliant and it was just what I was looking for! I now I feel confident enough to start using the gimble and as we sell these gimble’s in my store I will also be directing my Customers to your You Tube video too 🥰
Have been playing more, and finding this pretty enjoyable. It does have a funny habit, on my iPhone 7Plus, of making the first video I shoot a blank, which is very annoying. So now I just shoot a quick 60 second ordinary at the start. I am very used to camera time lapses, with an exposure of maybe 3 or 4 seconds for each shot. I had to throw all those time and mathematics ideas away, and just use the inbuilt calculator in the app, which is awesome.
I usually HATE looking for instructional videos because I need to sort through 15 bad ones to find a good one. Not only did I watch this entire thing, but I REWATCHED quite a few parts. Very well done--I'm loving my Osmo even more now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Finally a full blown review. Thanks a lot for taking time and give us all the details on this product. It is very helpful indeed.
It's my first time watching an instructional video without getting bored. Thank u for that great review
So so happy to see the testing done on a bicycle. This is just what I was looking for to use while touring. Thank you for the very complete review.
I’ve just purchased the DJI Osmo 2 and the Manual is sparse. I’ve all the videos I’ve watched this one is the best by a country mile! Great work and thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Either way thanks again for posting.
After watching probably 30 vids, this one finally helped me with everything I needed. Thank you!
No doubt the best tutorial video for DJI that I have seen. Thank you!
i got my dji osmo mobile 2 second hand, and this video just very helpful to know more about the gimbal, thanks!
Tx for taking the time to give so much value!! Best and most informative video out there.
I watched and 'absorbed' every second! Much appreciated mate!!
This is exactly the kind review I've been looking for - it's the ultimate let's get started guide! Thanks so much for putting this online.
Best review of the DJI Osmo 2 out there! Thanks a lot for caring about all the details.

Excellent VDO. I bought Osmo mobile 2 2 days back and was looking for a detailed review video. This VDO has helped me a lot. Thank you sooo much.
I just bought one. Good job buddy. This is what I call a review.
One of the best videos about the Osmo Mobile 2, thanks for your time. (I have subbed to you)
What a fantastic review! Certainly didn't feel like 53 minutes watching it. I have an Osmo 2 on order and will definitely be referring back to this video, time and again. Thank you for such a detailed and in-depth review! Liked and subbed 👍😊

Best review out here no jumping around and silly intros superb work pal well done
This was THE best review/instructional video i have seen in a v long time. Thank you.
Although some of the commenters are complaining about the length of the video I found it very informative. Keep up the good work and thanks for the helpful hints.

d3weyTube yes I agree, they should really start thinking about that if they ever think about taking out another Osmo Mobile.
Thank you for the very detailed review of the DJI Osmo Mobile 2. Not only a review, actual pointers and tips on how to get the most potential benefit out of it.
Excellent review... to repeat a previous comment, I am a prospective buyer and was looking for a comprehensive detailed description of what the unit did and how to do it. This brilliant video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.
Really useful, brilliant and detailed review of the product. I got it today, and I have to say that watching your video really saved me a lot of fumbling :) Thank you!
The ''M'' has 3 useful functionality settings other than turn ON/OFF.
1 click : Locks completely to one spot
2 clicks: Rebalance and bring it back to start up position
3 clicks: Swap back and front cameras
That was covered in the video.
Ozdronez McMillan I don't think point 3 was covered. Can't really remember anymore. It doesn't matter anyway
Choco Later yes, it was covered on the interior shot showing mess (as he called it) behind where he was standing after switching to front camera
Thank you
@@ozdronezmcmillan5259 no, it wasnt
An utterly superb video indeed!!! Having just purchased the OSMO Mobile 2 your video is the best intro to the device I have found and reassuringly long; all aspects covered. Well done and thank you very much.
Thanks for the feedback Paul. Glad it was helpful for you.
Great review, no guff and well spoken...a nice change for the majority of YT vids! Keep up the good work! X
Thank you so much. I have just recently purchased the OSMO Mobile 2 and your video helped to understand the full use of the unit. Great detail, I knew when I saw how long it was that is was going to be in depth. The one thing I did not understand had to do with using the osmo 2 and the apple panorama.
great video. I watched several others and was very frustrated as a layman trying to get a handle the basics. This one was excellent. Watched most of it and easily navigated to the parts most relevant to me. Thx!
Best ASMR review for a gimbal I've heard heard/not heard
The best detailed video I finally found!! Thank you so much for giving your time in making this video and sharing every bit of osmo mobile 2. I am really loving to explore more features of my gimbal with your videos help!! Thanks again and keep up your hard work!
Hi I bought my Osmo 2 a couple of months ago and just starting to use it... This has been by far the best video I have watched to date about it. Mind you I guess there has been some f/w update as it is slightly different to your version, but still easy to understand. Thanks :)
Many thanks for all the work you put into this very detailed video. I have just bought a Osmo Mobile 2 and have found your video very helpful. I had not quite appreciated the handicap of being an Android user that your video has pointed out. Hopefully JDI will do something about this! Many thanks again.
Best review about the Osmo Mobile 2! I thought mine was broken after 3 days trying to use, and your video showed me that I should balance it even before turning it on
Thank you so much for this review. It's clear, detailed and covers all of my needs. I have seen other reviews, mostly italian ones, but I must say: your descriptions are concise and effective and get immediately to the point. Again, thank you, from an Italian who has so much to learn ;-)
I was a bit afraid of the 53 minute duration but gave it a go. So I skipped the unboxing but you had me hooked from the physical setup of the phone to the very end. Just get my Osmo2 and fiddling around with it for a couple of days. You video has "fast tracked" me into a more efficient use of the unit. Very very pertinent video
I rarely comment on videos but had to on this one. I'm also a Brit, but I live in Asia, I especially like the countryside shots - reminds me of home. My new Osmo Mobile 2 will arrive in around 2 weeks (can't just pop to the shop to buy one here) and your video made me feel that I already know how to use it without actually having used one before. As a complete novice, it was an excellent 50m and I enjoyed it. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words William. Really appreciate the time taken to comment. Should have your Osmo by now i imagine then? Hope you enjoy it. I bet there are some amazing places in Asia to get great shots with it!
d3weyTube yes, arrived a few days ago. Been playing with it in the garden. Really looking forward to getting out and about. I'm not far from Angkor Wat, so looking forward to testing it out there. Really great video, I was straight into it and got started right away. Thanks again mate!
Thank you for creating this comprehensive review of the Osmo 2. This is what I was looking for! Cheers!
Excellent in depth review. Thank you for all your hard work. Keep them coming:0)
Excellent detailed review of this product. Many thanks, got myself an Osmo M2 just yesterday and this is by far the best review / users manual.
Thanks for your video. This is by far the best explanation of the gimbal out there and I have searched for a long time and being a first-time user this was awesome and very detailed. Thanks again
Thanks for this. Very well done. The best overview of the Osmo 2 on TH-cam.
The best review so far on DJI Osmo mobile 2. Thanks mate.
I think this is the best review and explained use of the Osmo mobile 2 I've seen. Thank you so much for taking the time to do it.
Just the video i was after, thank you for making this!
I have been unsure about buying this product for some time now & its safe to say after your excellent video i will be making the purchase!
Great video. By far the best about OM2. Congrats from Puerto Rico.
Great review, buying one tomorrow, it not only answered if it would work with a chunky case, but I have that exact green case! Brilliant!
Outstanding review - everything I needed, thank you
Nice video mate, best ive saw.
By far the best video on YT about the Osmo mobile 2.
I have had mine quite some time but only used it a little so have had to refresh my memory. During the lockdown I have started to use it more regularly and am very pleased with it.
Can I ask, when you are riding your bike are you holding it in your hand or do you attach it to the bike somehow?
Just purchased the DJI Osmo Mobile 2 and found this video very informative. Prefer to use Filmic Pro app rather than DJI although not all the settings etc are available. Great video
This was going to be my question. Since I have an Android, it sounds like I’ll have to use Filmic Pro (which I already have) to get the most out of my phone. Have you run across things you can’t use in Filmic with this gimbal?
Outstanding. I was wavering between keeping it and taking it back. I will keep it. Thank you so much. BTW - using the S pen to talk on the screen makes a huge difference. (Note 9)
This is about the best review I have seen on the Osmo mobile. Thanx.
Great review! The level of detail and hands on demonstrations convinced me to buy one.
What a wonderful video and nice to see a long in depth video for once on TH-cam 👍 I’m gonna save this to come back when i get my Osmo 2 next week. Going to use it with my new iPhone XS Max.
Hi Allan, How did it work with Iphone xS max? was it able to hold it properly?
Loved the video, It was extremely detailed yet very easy to understand. A lot of reviews out there assume that people already know about the basics. So thanks for your help. Look forward to the next one DW from Ryans Way
inverting pan stick can be used if you put a gopro camera in it, in order to operate you need to keep the gimbal "inverted", with the buttons facing the action.
Its decent. Got it on accident. Meant to order the osmo 3 but got the 2 on accident. Motors seem a little slow but for the price you can't beat it. Gonna wait for the 4 to upgrade.
27:39 I've discovered with pitch lock on that you can still use the joystick to tilt the camera down, up, left or right. If you tilt (pitch) down with the joystick, it locks on to that pitch. If you tilt (pitch) back up, it locks on to that pitch.
This was extremely helpful and MUCH needed. I almost wanted to return it out of frustration but watching this made me want to keep it. Thank you! Definitely saving this video to reference it as needed :)
Awesome review, just received mine today and fortunately discovered your review almost straight away, will re watch it to learn all the features you covered thanks buddy
Thanks - got mine yesterday, so your video was extremely useful to get up to speed quickly.
This review was awesome just bought mine yesterday. One of my best purchases towards media
Excellent review! I was so frustrated with my Osmo Moible 2 gimble until I watched this video and not I just love the thing. You helped to explain lots of issues I had. Thanks a million... Rene
Fantastic! So informative. I was really moved. Thank you very much with full of love from Japan. Merci. Ookini
Excellent. Those details of the product does help me to decide either to buy or choosing other product
Amazing video and clear instructions! Thanks for your time putting this video together!
Great information! Thank you! Just bought it and today will be my first day in the field filming.
Thanks from Brazil. I loved The review, i Just buy osmo mobile 2 because os this video. And The settings for Android are okay for my galaxy s7 edge. Thank you so much.
Excellent and so clear even for beginners. Thanks!
Loved your review and very detailed walkthrough. I use mine cycling so it was nice to see you covering shots on the bike. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the detailed video🤩 It was brilliant and it was just what I was looking for! I now I feel confident enough to start using the gimble and as we sell these gimble’s in my store I will also be directing my Customers to your You Tube video too 🥰
Very detailed. Just what I needed to see. Thank you
Thanks for the very thorough review. If only DJI would cover this material in its manuals.
Thank you so much! I absolutely loved it, and learned a lot. Just bought one, my first gimble and really looking forward to using it. Thanks again 😉
Very in depth! I kept fast forwarding as im impatient but then realised i needed to rewind for some great tips 😂 thanks for the info!
Thank you for spending your time to create this invaluable review!

Have been playing more, and finding this pretty enjoyable. It does have a funny habit, on my iPhone 7Plus, of making the first video I shoot a blank, which is very annoying. So now I just shoot a quick 60 second ordinary at the start. I am very used to camera time lapses, with an exposure of maybe 3 or 4 seconds for each shot. I had to throw all those time and mathematics ideas away, and just use the inbuilt calculator in the app, which is awesome.
