Huh. I actually think the Osmo 1 looked best in almost every test. The real question is... how can I mount one of these on my chest for mountain biking haha. (Yes I know there are wearable gimbals, I own two of them). Thanks for putting in the work! Cheers guys
Did you calibrate the Smooth Q? We had some jittering with it until we calibrated it. And btw, learned it's kind of a weird way to do the calibration, too. It's the best bang for the buck in our opinion. Enjoyed the comparisons! We're eyeing a Movi once they release it.
Great review, but my question is: What App did you use to shoot these videos, is it with DJI GO 4 App for example or you used the straight iPhoneX camera App? Please let me know, Thanks guys 😊
Im an accessories designer in love with the ability to generate my own product shots with my iphone 7 plus. I just ordered my macro lens and I cant wait to experiment with capturing greater detail of my products. You guys now have me wanting to shoot my own videos. Im not crazy technical so its super fun to learn but to get awesome results quickly. Thanks for the Inspo! Ill let you know how my handbags look with the macro
Same here - never had any of the problems mentioned here with the Q - And im using a heavy phone - plus the horizon line can be adjusted with the joystick on the fly. One other thing isthat iphones are consistantly unreliable with gimbals - due to their internal stabilization mechanics. A lot of juttering seen in this video, can be attributed to that.
I did, not sure why that was not mentioned. On the videos I took today it was really bad. I took the video with the iphone 8 plus with the moment lense. I am returning my OSMO2
Ya I have an Osmo 1 and an 8 plus and can’t figure out how to get rid of the jitter. @ moment crew how do you not have the jelly effect which is documented everywhere on the inter webs? The OIS in iPhones works against the stabilizing gimbal.
Please can you answer; HOW did you manage to keep your image so stable? Almost everyone is experiencing this shudder effect when the OIS of the iPhone X battles the Gimbal. Did you edit and stabilize your videos in post before you edited this video? If you DIDN'T edit it in post (which I find hard to believe), please can you tell us how/what settings you used to accomplish this. Thanks Matt
As for the motor in the way on the Osmo 2...why can’t you just “slide” the phone further from that motor to get it out of the shot then to rebalance everything add a slightly heavier counterweight??
This is true, but they said they didn't have a proper counterweight setup as it was for this test, let alone they would need more weight if they slid the camera further out.
hey guys, great video! BTW how are you able to have such a smooth footage? For me the OIS of the iPhone is ALWAYS trying to fight the gimbal and as a result ends up with a really bad, shaky footage
Hey guys great video again. 👍 But how do you got rid of the gitter/wobble created by the ois of the iPhone X. Would love to hear it. Maybe you could even make a video about it. Or is it just afterproduction?
Please produce a counter weight for the Smooth Q. I really want the Moment wide-angle lens for my Android, and I already have the Smooth Q, which I am learning to love. If I had the money, I would definitely go with the Movi, but as my budget is limited, and I'm trying to make the most with what I have, I got the Smooth Q. And I'm not really gadget-girl to be able to make my own counter-weight. Wally is adorable! Great vid!
Thx for the shootout. I’m between the Movi and Osmo 2. Hard to justify the price difference unless I plan on making acting/cinema like movies. Just using it to make “home movies” of hiking/camping/family trips. I know the Movi has some modes but so does the Osmo 2. How do the modes differ?
I'm baffled at how the running footage with the iphone x and osmo mobile 2 is so smooth. Can you please tell us how you navigated around the OIS issues that seem to have to whole internet stumped? I have an iphone x and osmo mobile 2 and all of my videos are super jittery. Is it something you're doing in settings? Which app were you filming on? Or was anything done in post? Please help! I've scoured the internet and found nothing to solve this problem.
and you wont find any answers, because there aren't any. these guys and most youtubers get paid to promote these products, and the OIS problem with the iPhone is a HUGE deal-breaker. so what you find is, they probably filmed a lot of this footage, and then applied some image stabilization tricks in premiere and after effects to remove most of the stutter. while this may seem like a solution, it's not. not only does it increase you work time by A LOT, it also drastically reduces the quality of the video. but these guys are getting paid to SELL these gimbals to you, not STOP you from buying them.
Yes! In-depth Movi review please! Just picked up my first gimbal, a Feiyu, purely because of its low price point. Just want to get a feel for how to incorporate it into my iPhone video shooting before I jump into something more premium like the Movi. Plus I need a gimbal that can work with my Moment lenses. Eventually.....haha!! Keep up the good work guys!!
What a hip video. I must upvote. Nevermind they're reviewing a gimbal which isn't sold anymore, and two gimbals which are still in the pre-production phase.
You said $100 was a lot to spend on a video accessory, yet your lens is $99... To be honest I think most people would rather have a gimbal over a lens. (Not hating on your product at all, just making a comparison)
Massive difference between a Lens, and a Video *Accessory* - an accessory is exactly that, something accessory to shooting, and therefore not necessary. Don't confuse Smartphone Accessory with Video Accessory. While the Moment Lenses are smartphone accessories, they're not in my opinion simply video 'accessories' as they really fundamentally alter your content. It's kind of like a DSLR would have a lens and a tripod. The Lens is fundamental- the tripod is an accessory.
@@lilmilt28 The phone has a lens... yes, different FOV alters content, but so does jerky movement vs smooth movement. Both Accessories and lenses are important aspects..
Forgive me if you answered this in the video (i may have missed it) but were you filming with the Apple factory camera app or was most of the done through an app like FilMic Pro or something? I ran a gimble on my iPhone X for 2 days and then returned the gimble because I had nothing but issues with the optical stabilizer built into the iPhone X camera. In your video here i see no shaky optical stabilizer fighting the gimble so i am very VERY curious how you fixed this issue! Great video BTW, you gained my subscription, looking very forward to your help on the optical stabilization issue i was experiencing.
they didnt fix it. they edited it in post. the fact that they havent answered a single person who has posted this exact same question is proof that something is UP.
Did you guys talk about software/app integration? Does the Movi have any software integration? I just took the Osmo Mobile 2 on a trip to Italy and had a great time with some of the shooting modes, especially the motion time-lapse. I put a quick montage of the time-lapses on my TH-cam channel (if anyone's interested), but I really, really had fun with this thing.
haha Handheld i.e no gimbal :D I also thought the handheld shot of the skateboarding was by far the best, but that is because the movement in the shot suited the actions and energy of the content. there's certainly a time and place for stabilised shooting, but just because you have some form of stabilisation doesn't mean you should use it. I bet my left testicle, that if an editor had to choose between a stabilised shot and that handheld shot for a high tension get away on a skateboard scene with dramatic music, that handheld shot would win every time. PLEASE GOD DON'T TAKE MY LEFT TESTICLE
Yah I also thought the handheld was best on the skateboarding scene. I think it's because the handheld scene was more dynamic & reactive in an action scene, while the gimbals all had a dull/flat camera motion to them.
Really enjoyed this side-by-side comp. guys. Thanks. Already using the Osmo + and Osmo Mobile (for iPhone). Pre-ordered the Movi based on this and your other videos about that equipment. Can't wait to get our hands on the Movi! And yes, we use Moment photo cases and your full range of lenses. Don't leave the office without em!
DJI copied the smooth q , non replaceable battery, quarter 20 mount on the bottom, vertical mounting and spring loaded phone mount and dropped the price point because of the smooth q. INNOVATION AWARD goes to Smooth Q. Great testing and video, would like to see Osmo 2 vs Smooth Q android software operation especially in tracking mode, to see if DJI has stepped up their Android game. Thank you for sharing.
I was going to point out the same but decided to go through the comments first `cause I knew I couldn't have been the only to notice. Osmo 2 is practically a clone of the Smooth Q, which I own and works perfectly fine.
Also, the battery life and its quality are amazing. They didn't point out any of this about the Smooth Q. This was clearly sponsored by DJI. I am not against of sponsorship, but come on, if they are in the business of making videos they should have known all of these.
Thanks for your videos! What gimbal do you think would be the best for iPhone 8 Plus considering the extra size and weight? The payload of the majority of the gimbal seems to be not enough to support phone+case+lens. Thanks!
You can see the gimbal on the bottom right side of the frame @ 4:00 on OSMO 2, Im assuming you can adjust this right with out having doing it in flash light mode?
I'd like to see an in-depth review of the MOVI. I've seen others do it but I feel you guys would do it better review and cover all the bases. And while you're testing , do you know if there's an add-on for doing automatic object motion tracking with the Movi?
Surprisingly Osmos does not affected by side acceleration. Smooth-q is clearly affected by this, tilting the horizon is apparent. Respect lots of works put to this video, it was very educating also entertaining as you said. The running shot looked exhaustive; also the roll motor will be not visible when you locate the phone slightely farther from the motor, this way'll work better IMHO. I'm using Smooth-q now but Osmo2 is very appealing, and movi looks very very pricey. Thank you!
My iPhone 7 Plus doesn't catch the OSMO Mobile 2's motor(arm?) on my video. I tested iPhone 7 Plus + Moment Wide Lens with OSMO Mobile 2. No problem! I think the height of iPhone 7 Plus gets rid of that issue. iPhone 7 Plus is taller than iPhone X. (6.23 inches vs 5.65 inches)
I got my Osmo M2 2 days ago, wide v2 lens is far too heavy without counterweight to balance ... i haven't yet figured out how to balncae it with moment lens on
If shooting in flashlight mode aren't you effectively losing one of the axis of stabilisation? Also after holding it for a while in that position it would get a bit uncomfortable. Would the solution to not have the motor being picked up in the shot would be to use the first version of the wide lens you guys do? Do you think the DJI osmo 1 is the better gimbal overall compared to the Osmo 2? It seems a bit odd that the Osmo 2 says "powered by DJI" makes it seem like they've just slapped their name on it. I bought the smooth Q about 7 months ago and have always been a bit annoyed that it doesn't work with Filmic Pro, I'm thinking of getting the DJI osmo 1 for this reason, what do you think?
I bought the Smooth Q a little while ago and i think it's nice. But that Movi is interesting to me. I think I'd rather like to use the design of the Movi than a WAND type style gimbal. I paid $137 for my Smooth Q at best buy. It's probably $99 dollars NOW cause it's gonna compete with the OSMO 2. But I think the Smooth Q is nice and so do many people that have it. If there are any gimbal videos on TH-cam, it's DEFINITELY on the Smooth Q.
Moment Yeah I'm thinkin I wanna buy a Movi after they release it. I REALLY dig that design and functionality of it. It doesn't hurt to have more gear either.
You guys are awesome, and thanks for the videos your making, but I wonder why most of the gimbals not compatible with Android OS? if that's not the case what would you recommend for Galaxy Note 9? Thanks again,
Dude.. did the osmo 1 just win? It definitely seemed to have dominated the running test and I would say did just as well as the movi in every other test. Smooth Q was just garbage.
My daughter is a hockey player, and I like to livestream her games on TH-cam. I typically stand at least 30 feet from the ice at center rink, and I'd like to be able to follow the action as it moves from one end of the rink to the other. If the gimble has an ability to control zoom, that would be great as well. Could you recommend the best lense and gimble for that? I am looking to spend around $250-$300 total. Currently using iPhone 6S Plus, but could possibly upgrade in the near future.
StevenGumley No, using a wide angle lense is an add on to get more of a camera affect. These gimbols werent created just for a wide angle lense on a phones camera.
Excellent video. I have the OSMO 2. What I would love to see you guys do in a more in depth on the OSMO 2 and MOVI. Maybe even get into each of the products apps and determine the capabilities of each. I would also love to see a comparison of capabilities with and without your different lense products to see what your stuff adds to the experience. I am finding that the apps sometimes hinder quality and resolution of the video and you have to film outside of the app.
i had the same issue with the moondog labs anamorphic lens. the solution is not just flashlight mode but to move the phone further out of the clamp and use a slightly heavier counter balance weight.
How can you possibly claim that this is a real test if you bodge lenses and counterweights on the items?? It's like testing a new car but removing a wheel... This is a very bad test.
Thanks for the head to head - I have the Osmo and was wondering if the 2 was worth getting. How do they handel for lense wight and tracing since the momentum lens significant wight for the motor how much does the extra Wight change the battery life and tracking. What is the Wight limit on the Freefly movi - the battery life ?
Thank you for your informative video. I'm interested in knowing which gimbal is best for doing Facebook LIVE's? Do you use the Smooth Q with the app on for shooting or just for adjusting the settings? Thank you!
So are you guys going to make some changes to the lens to compensate for the new larger motors on the Osmo 2? I would think moving the lens further forward a little bit would fix that issue?
aaaaahhhh !!! which gimbal should i get ? now that the new zhiyun smooth 4 is announced with the zoom wheel (for cool vertigo effect). do a bluetooth focus/zoom wheel for gimbals XD !!! but is the movi the only one that can do the roll ? and which of them would support the maximum weight (iphone x , battery case , heaviest moment lens filter adapter and vari nd filter) :-/ hmmmm
This is a very nice comparison. I am interested in the osmo mobile 2 and as mentioned, the iPhone X captured the arm of the gimbal. Then it means for a smaller phone like my iphone 7, that will be unavoidable am I right?
Thank you guys for a great test! Just one question -- what about a portrait mode that we use more and more including instagram stories. Did only Osmo 2 have a portrait mode?
I was wondering what you are using for a count weight for the dji Osmo 2? I’m waiting to order the moment counterweight once it’s in stock. Any suggestions for a DIY fix until then?
Is there a way to use an external microphone with an Osmo Mobile 1 and iPhone X? Can the charging/upgrade port be utilized to pass audio to the phone? Is there a Bluetooth or other solution? Loving my Moment lens + counterweight solution. Now looking to get a mountable microphone.
Besides the Movi, do any of the other gimbals have the Dutch panel feature or are you able to achieve it with any of the others? I definitely felt like the Movi didn’t compare to any of the others mainly because I watched the Movi video before this and I was sold, so I must say I appreciate the second best opinion in comparing and contrasting!
I hope this video was helpful and slightly entertaining 🙂 Which gimbal are you the most interested in??
Moment i recent purchased freefly movi wondering if the counterbalance is included? if not where to buy?
The Freefly Movi. But when will an Android version become available?
Moment I'm gonna have to get me one of these...by the way, what happened with the giveaway?
Does the DJI Osmo Mobile 2 control Filmic Pro like the DJI Osmo 1?
I think the Movi is incredible, but when will they make an android version?
Huh. I actually think the Osmo 1 looked best in almost every test. The real question is... how can I mount one of these on my chest for mountain biking haha. (Yes I know there are wearable gimbals, I own two of them). Thanks for putting in the work! Cheers guys
Did you calibrate the Smooth Q? We had some jittering with it until we calibrated it. And btw, learned it's kind of a weird way to do the calibration, too. It's the best bang for the buck in our opinion. Enjoyed the comparisons! We're eyeing a Movi once they release it.
Your Smooth Q isn't calibrated, hence the tilting.You didn't discuss about the mobile apps, they add huge value to the gimbals.
i assumed those went without saying since it is basically required. especially because these gimbels are for mobile phones. do you use the q?
Love the videos you guys have been cranking out lately. PLEASE YES to a full video on the Movi and its features. That would be rad.
Great review, but my question is: What App did you use to shoot these videos, is it with DJI GO 4 App for example or you used the straight iPhoneX camera App?
Please let me know, Thanks guys 😊
Im an accessories designer in love with the ability to generate my own product shots with my iphone 7 plus. I just ordered my macro lens and I cant wait to experiment with capturing greater detail of my products. You guys now have me wanting to shoot my own videos. Im not crazy technical so its super fun to learn but to get awesome results quickly. Thanks for the Inspo!
Ill let you know how my handbags look with the macro
Redo the test with smooth-q. You have to calibrate it before using it.
Webinatic agreed!! They must have not had the slider set right so it starts off “balanced”.
Agreed. I have never had these issues. Smooth q is smooth as butter
I was looking for someone to have commented this! I didn't have footage this bad when I used it.
Same here - never had any of the problems mentioned here with the Q - And im using a heavy phone - plus the horizon line can be adjusted with the joystick on the fly. One other thing isthat iphones are consistantly unreliable with gimbals - due to their internal stabilization mechanics. A lot of juttering seen in this video, can be attributed to that.
it's because of the Moment lens. It's too heavy for the smooth Q motor
Do you guys stabilize in post as well? Or is the video quality just that good?
did you notice any jitter issues with the OIS fighting the gimbal?
I did, not sure why that was not mentioned. On the videos I took today it was really bad. I took the video with the iphone 8 plus with the moment lense. I am returning my OSMO2
Ya I have an Osmo 1 and an 8 plus and can’t figure out how to get rid of the jitter. @ moment crew how do you not have the jelly effect which is documented everywhere on the inter webs? The OIS in iPhones works against the stabilizing gimbal.
u guys can turn off OIS by using filmic pro apps ✌🏻
That might be true oh dawie but they mentioned in another comment that they used the native iPhone camera app.
Tom Schmidt Most of my video i’m using native camera too..only use filmic pro when i want to adjust frame rate and wb..most of the time it’s works..
Good morning,
I would like to Know how you do to have no jittering with the IPhone X and the Osmo Mobile2.
Thanks
Honestly, the without gimbal shot on the skateboard felt raw and more real! Pretty cool if someone wants that style. NIce video guys.
Definitely want a more in-depth review for the FreeFly Movi Gimbal 🙋♀️🙋♀️
I see that hand 👍
Moment ooh ooh ooh pick me, pick me!
I have a pretty scathing review of it on my channel. It’s trash.
No active track for 3 bills. Junk
Eddy Bueno They’re developing it... active track is currently unique to DJI. (The Osmo 2 is cheap garbage).
Y'all are the coolest dudes, I swear. Most enjoyable channel I have ever followed.
And what about the microphone? Is it possible to connect the microphone to the Osmo mobile 2?
Please can you answer; HOW did you manage to keep your image so stable? Almost everyone is experiencing this shudder effect when the OIS of the iPhone X battles the Gimbal.
Did you edit and stabilize your videos in post before you edited this video?
If you DIDN'T edit it in post (which I find hard to believe), please can you tell us how/what settings you used to accomplish this.
Thanks

Absolutely love my Smooth Q. Did some updates and it does amazing work for me. I'm not taking massive shots or anything, but it works for me.
hey guys, great video! BTW how are you able to have such a smooth footage? For me the OIS of the iPhone is ALWAYS trying to fight the gimbal and as a result ends up with a really bad, shaky footage
they arent replying at all to anyone who asks this question, which means to me that the footage was edited in post and stabilized there.
this money hungry company don’t answer our questions.
Thanks for the tests, had some fun watching you having fun doing it. Crongrtulations to the post production work -- great music !
I freaking loved this one. Hilarious. I’m impressed with the Osmo 2 and will probably get it.
Thanks Brandon! Appreciate it :)
you mean OSMO? Oslo is in Norway! lol

That’s the OIS of the camera “fighting” or vibrating
i dont have that white the smoot4
Yeah the movi was by far the worst during the running test. I really want to get it but that’s been putting me off.
I'm pleasantly surprised with the content of this channel. Definitely the reason I bought the moment lenses
The smooth q needs to be calibrated before using it then its alignment will be perfect :)
Yup!

I'm using Smooth-q now but Osmo2 is very appealing, and movi looks very very pricey. Thank you!
Great observations!
So happy you guys made this! It’s so nice to see good comparison videos for gear
My iPhone 7 Plus doesn't catch the OSMO Mobile 2's motor(arm?) on my video. I tested iPhone 7 Plus + Moment Wide Lens with OSMO Mobile 2. No problem! I think the height of iPhone 7 Plus gets rid of that issue. iPhone 7 Plus is taller than iPhone X. (6.23 inches vs 5.65 inches)
Nate Kim Photography thank you this is what I needed to know!
On point!
EXACTLY THE INFO I NEEED! TY!!!!
Do you use a counterweight or is it able to handle the weight?
I got my Osmo M2 2 days ago, wide v2 lens is far too heavy without counterweight to balance ... i haven't yet figured out how to balncae it with moment lens on
Great video thanks for sharing this I'm thinking of getting the DJI Osmo Mobile 2 using it with Filmic Pro on iPhone 7.
I just pre-Ordered my Movi Today :-)
Would be amazing if you guys could make a moment case for the a8+
Probably the smooth q is not balanced properly because it does a lot better than shown in the video 🤐
If shooting in flashlight mode aren't you effectively losing one of the axis of stabilisation? Also after holding it for a while in that position it would get a bit uncomfortable. Would the solution to not have the motor being picked up in the shot would be to use the first version of the wide lens you guys do? Do you think the DJI osmo 1 is the better gimbal overall compared to the Osmo 2? It seems a bit odd that the Osmo 2 says "powered by DJI" makes it seem like they've just slapped their name on it.
I bought the smooth Q about 7 months ago and have always been a bit annoyed that it doesn't work with Filmic Pro, I'm thinking of getting the DJI osmo 1 for this reason, what do you think?
I bought the Smooth Q a little while ago and i think it's nice. But that Movi is interesting to me. I think I'd rather like to use the design of the Movi than a WAND type style gimbal. I paid $137 for my Smooth Q at best buy. It's probably $99 dollars NOW cause it's gonna compete with the OSMO 2. But I think the Smooth Q is nice and so do many people that have it. If there are any gimbal videos on TH-cam, it's DEFINITELY on the Smooth Q.
Great Point John! It's still a great tool for filmmaking - The Movi is just insane haha
Moment Yeah I'm thinkin I wanna buy a Movi after they release it. I REALLY dig that design and functionality of it. It doesn't hurt to have more gear either.
The PERFECT shootout. Have been wanting to see this exact shootout and it was so well done. Thank you both for posting!!
$99 is too much for just a video accessory. Can you say the same about your product? The one where I have to pay $40 for a case and 100+ for a lens?
ikr
You guys are awesome, and thanks for the videos your making, but I wonder why most of the gimbals not compatible with Android OS? if that's not the case what would you recommend for Galaxy Note 9?
Thanks again,
Dude.. did the osmo 1 just win?
It definitely seemed to have dominated the running test and I would say did just as well as the movi in every other test. Smooth Q was just garbage.
Is movi able to be mounted on tripod? Seems like it would. Thanks!
I think you can
Smooth Q is most smooth
Yeah, to hell with what these guys who've seen all their footage think!
Looked jittery to me, odd panning too
Yes that's right
My one had a wondering horizon at first so I calibrated it and it's fixed the issue
Dk4K agreed.. once I upgraded the firmware and calibration.. there was no issue. Looking forward to putting it through more use.
So in the shop I go to it is only $10 more for the OSMO 1. Would you go with an OSMO 1 for build quality at that price?
Was going to buy the osmo 2 but the gimbal motor keeps on coming into the shot is making me rethink my future purchase.
Nick Miller because they are using the wide lens. It will not happen if you aren’t using any wide angle lens.
You can slide the phone further out until you clear the view and add a little more counterweight.
I’m curious. Was this All shot on 10? And with moment? Like the first scene outside of the van? Looks good.
As for me Osmo 1 is better than Osmo 2
Andrew Cherkashyn I agree. Surprisingly it seemed a lot smoother than the Osmo 2
Andrew Cherkashyn but with the Price difference still the Osmo 2 wins
Osmo 2 can also be set up in portrait mode
My daughter is a hockey player, and I like to livestream her games on TH-cam. I typically stand at least 30 feet from the ice at center rink, and I'd like to be able to follow the action as it moves from one end of the rink to the other. If the gimble has an ability to control zoom, that would be great as well.
Could you recommend the best lense and gimble for that? I am looking to spend around $250-$300 total. Currently using iPhone 6S Plus, but could possibly upgrade in the near future.
That Movi wasn’t as smooth as either one of the Osmos.
Thanks for the shootout!
I had the same impression, in the running test I would even say osmo 1 outperforms all others.
guys. you make me depressed, be proud of whatever you are, this was tooooooooooooooo humble.
Why is nobody talking about how the motor is in practically every shot on the Osmo 2?!?
StevenGumley they addressed that in the beginning of the video after the first shot with it
because of the wide angle lens
#1 because if you watched the video, they stated the problem. #2, its because the wide angle lense.
isn't the point to use the wide angle lens with the stabilyzer?
StevenGumley No, using a wide angle lense is an add on to get more of a camera affect. These gimbols werent created just for a wide angle lense on a phones camera.
Excellent video. I have the OSMO 2. What I would love to see you guys do in a more in depth on the OSMO 2 and MOVI. Maybe even get into each of the products apps and determine the capabilities of each. I would also love to see a comparison of capabilities with and without your different lense products to see what your stuff adds to the experience. I am finding that the apps sometimes hinder quality and resolution of the video and you have to film outside of the app.
Osmo 2 is so annoying that thICK thing is sticking out lol
iamjuda to be fair, it wasn’t designed with a wide angle lens in mind. Bet with the moment lens off you don’t see it
iamjuda because they put a wide lens which is not designed for it
i had the same issue with the moondog labs anamorphic lens. the solution is not just flashlight mode but to move the phone further out of the clamp and use a slightly heavier counter balance weight.
That's what she said.
Great video guys!
With regard to the OSMO 2, were you can see the motor housing in the shot is this because of the external lens?
Love the videos, great advice. Thanks
How can you possibly claim that this is a real test if you bodge lenses and counterweights on the items?? It's like testing a new car but removing a wheel... This is a very bad test.
Thanks for the head to head - I have the Osmo and was wondering if the 2 was worth getting.
How do they handel for lense wight and tracing since the momentum lens significant wight for the motor
how much does the extra Wight change the battery life and tracking.
What is the Wight limit on the Freefly movi - the battery life ?
Sir please give me a one gimbal
I am new in youtube
Sir please help me
Digging that Movi. Are there any balance issues when using the Moment Battery cases on the gimbals?
Thank you for your informative video. I'm interested in knowing which gimbal is best for doing Facebook LIVE's? Do you use the Smooth Q with the app on for shooting or just for adjusting the settings? Thank you!
So are you guys going to make some changes to the lens to compensate for the new larger motors on the Osmo 2? I would think moving the lens further forward a little bit would fix that issue?
aaaaahhhh !!! which gimbal should i get ? now that the new zhiyun smooth 4 is announced with the zoom wheel (for cool vertigo effect). do a bluetooth focus/zoom wheel for gimbals XD !!! but is the movi the only one that can do the roll ?
and which of them would support the maximum weight (iphone x , battery case , heaviest moment lens filter adapter and vari nd filter) :-/ hmmmm
Thank you for the video! Just interesting should I turn off my Image Stabilization via using the osmo mobile 2? Can’t get it...
Did you guys color grade the iphone footage or is that just how it looks? I Dig it.
Can I get away with just buying the movi and a simple lens for real estate clips? Love the video, please help.
Dji osmo 2 captured motor of gimbal as well. Does it due to lens? Or without lens it does the same?
This is a very nice comparison. I am interested in the osmo mobile 2 and as mentioned, the iPhone X captured the arm of the gimbal. Then it means for a smaller phone like my iphone 7, that will be unavoidable am I right?
Hi, are you guys going to make a counterweight for the osmo 2? I'd like to use the wide lens v2 on my iphone 7 plus.
What about the ease of the using and the features of their proprietary apps ?
Hey Moment...does every gimbal need a counterweight? Or does it depend on the size of the cell phone?
Thank you guys for a great test! Just one question -- what about a portrait mode that we use more and more including instagram stories. Did only Osmo 2 have a portrait mode?
How do you guys avoid the jitter / wobble in iPhone? As the ois can't be turned off I wonder what did you do to have such a good footage.
I was wondering what you are using for a count weight for the dji Osmo 2? I’m waiting to order the moment counterweight once it’s in stock. Any suggestions for a DIY fix until then?
Is there a way to use an external microphone with an Osmo Mobile 1 and iPhone X? Can the charging/upgrade port be utilized to pass audio to the phone? Is there a Bluetooth or other solution? Loving my Moment lens + counterweight solution. Now looking to get a mountable microphone.
Besides the Movi, do any of the other gimbals have the Dutch panel feature or are you able to achieve it with any of the others?
I definitely felt like the Movi didn’t compare to any of the others mainly because I watched the Movi video before this and I was sold, so I must say I appreciate the second best opinion in comparing and contrasting!
