Thank you for taking all the effort to understand and then explain product details so that we understand them better without having to get our hands dirty.
Your video is actually way better than what DJI put out for their users. You are great! Thank you. I now know how to calibrate my DJI. Btw, your red iPhone 7 is so nice on the white DJI!
Tip #11: Follow the conventions of barefoot walking/running Do not heel strike when you move around. If your heel hits the ground first on your next step, all of the stress returned back from the ground is conducted to your whole body through the skeleton. Instead, try to perform a forefoot (or at least mid-foot) strike to absorb much of this stress. It is maybe not the case for all those foamy-soled shoes, but why not consider? :) More details here: xeroshoes.com/barefoot-running-tips/how-to-walk-barefoot/ The link is no advertisement, I don't even have one pair :)
I got a Facebook feed for this gimbal and I recognized the bushes you were going past then as I scroll down I see iPhonedo! Hopefully you are getting compensated for them using your video as their advertisement. Love all your videos!
THANK YOU. I've been trying to understand the problem people describe with the OIS and no one was pointing out that even with it off the camera still bounces and rebounds. Thank you! :)
Very good tips. I am heavy user of DJI Osmo mobile with iPhone7 plus and to some of them I have came after some painful time. Well done. I have subscribed for your videos.
Hi iPhondo! I love my Osmo, but it does take a bit to learn. I use a Note4 and if you have the electronic stabilization on it will freak out. They do not play nice together. With that off it is awesome. Also, I picked up the DJI extension pole and it is actually really good. The tripod bottom is great, but is is a little wonky fully extended. But, Osmo doesn't seem to mind and you can totally get mini drone shots over objects (like cars and such). It would be cool if it had some controls (like the joystick) at the base. It also gives you a two-handed option for holding ninja-ing out. That white one is preeeedy... Great review as always! Franny
Thank you! I have been scouring the web for an answer to the problem of iPhone OIS and gimbals, and yours has been the first and only explanation that makes sense -- and it is especially compelling that you actually show what is physically happening (at 4:39). Everyone who has been frustrated by this OIS issue should watch this video! I noticed that in your recent test of the Osmo Mobile 2 up at the Observatory you did NOT use an iPhone but rather Android phones when running. Is this OIS-gimbal issue the reason? Have you given up on using iPhones with gimbals in action shots until Apple creates a fix in their new phones? Also, any chance you will be reviewing the Zhiyum Smooth 4 anytime soon? Thanks!
Thankyou! Tip no. 1 may explain sudden loss of connectivity and overheating of the gimbal...having the phone balanced correctly BEFORE turning on the gimbal is crucial! Mine, somehow, had become out of balance (possibly from moving between an iPhone 5 and 6) and I hadn't even thought about re-balancing and was relying on the gimbal to balance the phone as per your demonstration.
Hey, I like your video a lot. its tell me a lot of thing that i want to buy about the pros and cons of it. Your content is very good. keep up your work and do more video. i will wait for it:)
Enjoyed your style and tips! You're a hoot to watch. I'm glad you mentioned the Filmic Pro app and how to use the image stabilization properly, cause I tell you, my first video sucked big time! But now with your 10 tips they should be better. And yes... I agree running in running shoes (that is sneakers) is better then hiking boots! Thanks again for your video! Cheers from Montréal :-)
Frederic Hore Did your subsequent shoots go any better? Just curious. I’m considering sending my back with my experience so far. I’m unable to get it set up correctly and it seems really finicky and has miserable battery life.
Hey iPhonedo, you should try Procam with the 4K Max option (it's an in-app purchase), it seems the better thing to use with the Osmo. Footages are ultra sharp because the app shoots 8mpx photos at 30fps and then put them in a 4k sequence and videos are very very much more stable than what you get with the stock camera.
I always enjoy your helpful and entertaining videos, but I have to say on this one you are 100% wrong about the OIS in your tip #3. The truth is that OIS cannot be turned off at all, not even by Apple. It is built into the lens module and there is no on/off switch for it. 3rd party apps like FiLMiC Pro can only turn off the software-based stabilization (IS), or what is known as Apple's 'Auto' and 'Cinematic' stabilization. OIS (optical) and IS (software) are two different things entirely.
I made the exact same comment on the DJI Forums in reply to somebody advising others to turn off the OIS with FiLMiC Pro. DJI replied to my comment by confirming that in fact OIS cannot be turned off and that only the software based IS can be turned off. I also made the exact same comment on Twitter in reply to a tweet where somebody was advising others to turn off the OIS in the FiLMiC Pro app, and FiLMiC Pro replied by confirming that their app cannot turn off OIS, but instead can only turn off the software based IS. I can't explain how or why the OIS is not moving in the lens module when you do not have a camera app open. This is definitely interesting. But, if and when you do have a camera app open, there is simply no on/off switch for the OIS. And turning off the IS in FiLMiC Pro does exactly as indicated, it turns off the IS, not the OIS. Regardless, your video was still very helpful and I am going to try many of the things I leaned from your video to improve my use of the DJI Osmo Mobile. Last but not least, you are the first person to clearly explain and show what Pitch Lock is, so thank you tremendously for that! :)
Hi Jade, same here. This is ProCam Support "Thanks for getting in touch with us. ProCam 4’s 4K Max video resolution ($4.99 extra add-on) disables both OID and DIS. Please don’t hesitate to contact us again if you have any other questions." These are from Filmic "Thank you for writing in. There is no way to disable OIS unfortunately. The Optical Image Stabilization is always on when using the iPhone 6s Plus, or the iPhone 7 / 7 Plus. The app's stabilization button is used to enabled or disable the device's digital image stabilization capabilities. Now if you do see a jello-like movement with OSMO or another gimbal.. DJI has been recommending customers adopt something referred to as 'the ninja walk'. A quick search yields all sorts of info on this: www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjwwbnB6KrPAhVQ-GMKHYzWB50QPAgD#hl=en&q=dji+ninja+walk" Then I told them about Apple Developer Forum: forums.developer.apple.com/message/185922#185922 And this is their reply "Well that's the issue.. there is differing information coming out of Apple on this subject. We use that very method to control the stabilization in our app.... we use Apple's stabilization so that exact method is what is behind our button to turn on/off stabilization. We have heard the same thing as what was in that post and yet we have also heard from other reputable sources (inside Apple) that the OIS is separate and cannot be enabled/disabled by a third party developer. Which is accurate? who knows... We have chosen to not mislead folks and take the conservative approach here. But yes there are some out there who swear that FiLMiC Pro can disable OIS. -----> The fact of the matter is that for most people this is essentially a non-issue. Many users will never see an issue here, and for those that do, a few simple changes in how you use the OSMO (or any gimbal) will be a satisfactory solution. This issue has been made to be something much larger than it actually is." So, where does the truth lie? @iPhonedo thank you very much for your review ;)
Apple had sent me the iOS Device Compatibility Reference Sheet for developers which includes both the 'AVCapturePhotoOutput' and the 'AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode' classes. Nowhere is it indicated that OIS can be turned off by an app developer. Put it this way, if the physical and mechanical OIS could be turned off, then you can bet that app developers like FiLMiC Pro and DJI themselves would have utilized this option. But they didn't, because they couldn't.
Great tips, thanks a million times @iphonedo , btw, my osmo mobile used to shoot m.timelapse in 4k when i first bought it. Now i can't do this. Did they remove this option or is it hidden somewhere in the settings?
another thing you can do is buy one of the many attachments, such as the z-axis that attaches to the Osmo as well as the Mobile, basically acting as a steadicam arm and acting as a 4th axis. MUCH smoother video with it as the 4th axis accounts for a lot of the up and down movement when running.
Hi ! Do you think that the silver finish is pretty sturdy ? Will it wear off more than the black ? What about sun glare ? I have so admit, it looks very nice in the silver collar. Thanks, George
My dear Mr. iPhonedo, back in the day I asked you to play Last of Us's chorus part with you ukulele and as I remember you have left a heart on that comment and i thought it is a promise but we never heard the song. I am asking again pls hit that heart button to show us you will deliver it someday.
hey so how are you recording your iphone screen in this video? wizardry! (I only know how to do this with quicktime hooked up to a PC) Are you doing airplay mirroring?
OIS - 4:30 is it really true? From other video I saw guy proved that Filmic Pro CAN NOT turning off OIS. I am thinking about iPhone 7 plus + gimbal for filming, and I am surprised and frustrated about jitter from fighting between iPhone and gimbal.
Thanks for the tips - though I am not sure you are correct on stabilization. I don't have the Osmo yet, but have been looking at it. I hadn't gotten it because so many videos I have seen with it didn't really look all that great to me - I can't stand that distortion. You have some decent footage here and it has me thinking about the Osmo again...
Liked before watched, thanks for these videos

Nicely done. :-) I love my OSMO Mobile, and I frequently use the iPhone camera app for general movement and the Go app for subject tracking.
Good tip. Thanks
Very useful tips, thanks bro!

Sembrerebbe di si, in effetti
Thank you very much :)
This video sooooooo nice!!!!
When traveling via air plane, did you have any trouble at the security with this?
Love my Osmo Mobile 😍
Sweet tips
good tips! I love my osmo but always looking to create better shots.
Great video and great product! They just need to be waterproof in the next couple of versions and it would be awesome!
What do you use to tape/record/capture this video?
thank you dude :)
Where did you get the stand/holder for the osmo?
does the lens shake when you walk or walk slowly? like if you film in a skatepark?
I always enjoy your helpful and entertaining videos, but I have to say on this one you are 100% wrong about the OIS in your tip #3.

Hello Jade, how do you explain the the lens moving around when ois is on and staying in its place when ois is off between 4:07 to 5:00 ?

thank you very much for your review ;)

what is the holder for dgi osmo you are using here.. where did you bought from and how much for
i seriously need it right now
What can you suggest? Osmo pocket or osmo mobile?
What stand do you use with your Osmo? I saw you had the base for the Osmo, do you use a third-party stand and screw it in from below?
Great tips, thanks a million times @iphonedo , btw, my osmo mobile used to shoot m.timelapse in 4k when i first bought it. Now i can't do this. Did they remove this option or is it hidden somewhere in the settings?
Your videos never get old.... too funny. lol
I too have an android phone but I have a Osmo Mobile and it s amazing. Love this channel
where to find that black base holder to hold the osmo?
Can I in a kind of tweak attach my Canon g7x instead of my iPhone?
another thing you can do is buy one of the many attachments, such as the z-axis that attaches to the Osmo as well as the Mobile, basically acting as a steadicam arm and acting as a 4th axis. MUCH smoother video with it as the 4th axis accounts for a lot of the up and down movement when running.

Can you do a video for Zhiyun smooth Q tips and tricks too?
nice review - the smooth-3 looks a bit better to me.
do you know if dji offers a adapter to support a ipad mini 2 on the osmo mobile
Can you do a review on Xiaomi Yi 4K Action Camera 2?
please make the video of dji osmos 2 vs dji silver
I love this guys accent
While recording a video can you pause it and then continue recording the same video afterwards?

This is a first try at dictation do I make myself clear? I want to make sure that I get everything done tomorrow for Friday's party.
Does the black base...standing base come with the osmo?
Whatever video you make is pleasant to watch. Your a genuinely funny guy.
hello , do you know how much wheith does suport?
i would like to use the osmo mobile with a motog 5plus adding an aukey lens or apexel lens
thanks.
hey so how are you recording your iphone screen in this video? wizardry! (I only know how to do this with quicktime hooked up to a PC) Are you doing airplay mirroring?

It seems you like this device! I love my Osmo Mobile too! Have you tried it with FilmicPro with LOG?
great video, as always!
