    Just to say, I bought both these gimbals and have had no contact with DJI or Zhiyun. So there's no hidden reason why I should favour one over the other. Anyway, something I forgot to include - the Mobile 3 requires you activate the gimbal before it will work. You have to sign up to DJI's app. Whereas the Smooth Q2 works without signing up - even though it tries to get you to sign up first. Thanks everyone!

      The problem for me with the dji om3 is: in the app i can only record max in 1080@30/720@60 because "my phone is not officially supported" so i used it 20 minutes, and sent it back, because 1080@30 ist just useless and the dji om3 doesn't connect the record button to the native camera app so... Yeah i bought the q2 today, will receive it tomorrow

    My two cents:
    When it comes to mount a lens on the mobile phone you should mount the Q2 on a tripod as you have to do on the OM3 (it can’t stands on itself as the Q2 does)
    OM3 app way far better than the Q2 app expecially the tracking system
    As you mention a firmware update “solve” the wide angle lenses issue (front motor on the frame)
    Q2 payload and motors power are way far better than the OM3 (I mount an iphone xs with ulanzi anamorphic and 52mm ND variable filter and it works fine, and without using any counterwieght as you have to do on the OM3)
    The replaceable battery is a huge plus.
    I’ve been thinking about which gimbal to buy for months and in the end i decided for the Q2 and i don’t regret it at all

    Thank you for doing this. I already have a Smooth Q2 from when it was a kickstarter. Really like the device, but the small quirks you mention (portrait, tracking, wide angle shots for example) are the same issues that bug me a little. I'd been looking at the OM3 and wondering if I should spend that cash.

    Excellent review in every way. I particularly liked your frank and honest preconceived opinion that you conveyed in the beginning and your change of heart in the end. By the way, I fully agree with your findings. Both are wonderful tools, but pound for pound, the DJI Osmo 3 has a slight edge. Good work brother! I love your work.

As soon as I took it out of the box and started messing with it I remembered a TH-camr mentioning the tripple press and it goes into this special angle that gets the arm and motor out of the way for ultrawide angle lenses. I did that first time messing with it and it did it for me..

    I have had the OSmo Mobile 3 for some time now and the one thing that really annoys me with it is the software doesn't provide for accessing additional camera lenses. I do a lot of real estate photography and videography and you can't use the wide angle lenses on phones such as the LG V30+ with the DJI software. I also find the gimbal doesn;t stay straight very well when walking, or maybe that is just me.

    • @SiHorrocks
      @SiHorrocks  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hi Gary. sometimes gimbals start to lean to the left or right. Especially these cheap ones. The bigger DSLR gimbals with stronger motors are longer lasting.
      3rd party software often is unable to access all the cameras of a smartphone, and this depends a lot on if the phone maker allows access to 3rd party apps.

  • @TrevSligo
    @TrevSligo 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great comparison review, thank you! I bought the Zhiyun Smooth 4 believing it was the top (mostly based on looks, build and materials) but...it has serious trouble balancing with an added Moment lens; it also is impossible to frame a shot using that lens without seeing the motor and, almost more of a pain, it's a very complicated business attaching an external mic which again greatly affects the balance. I find it really difficult to use. The Osmo Mobile 3 might look like a toy but it seems to be a better choice in that it can handle and balance an extra lens and it's easy - there aren't any obstacles - to attach an external mic. I'll be switching to Osmo I think. Thanks again for this review.

    • @SiHorrocks
      @SiHorrocks  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks Trevor! Good insights. Just be aware the max payload of the OM3 is actually lower than the Smooth 4 (according to the manufacturer). I don't know if you've seen our gimbal max payload comparison guide but it might be useful: momofilmfest.com/how-much-weight-can-your-smartphone-gimbal-carry/

    • @ChrisMannphoto
      @ChrisMannphoto 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Smooth 4 works best with add-on lenses (e.g. Moment) if you add a counterbalance weight to the arm - you can get these on Amazon - then it's easy. With a counterweight you can also move the phone further out to avoid seeing the motor.
      Where the Smooth 4 scores over both these smaller gimbals is the extra physical controls (e.g. focus/ zoom wheel), and the ability to easily put the gimbal in "low mode".

      Yes you can use Filmic Pro with the Smooth Q2 - just tell it you are using a Smooth 4. Then the record button on the gimbal starts/stops record on the Q2. Not as much control as with a Smooth 4, I grant you.
      The same applies to the Osmo 3 - pair it with Bluetooth and tell Filmic Pro you are using an "Osmo Mobile" and it will connect the record button.

    one thing you did not mention and that it keeps continuing even wit DJI OM 4 there is no way on your expensive phone in the DJI to select different lenses. So it means you have a $1000 phone that comes with the amazing wide angle lens but DJI totally ignores it and you only set to the standard lens ! For me a Deal Breaker and my DJI OM 4 goes back to DJI ! Sometimes those big companies make the most stupid things you would imagine. I love DJI for their drones but not for a Gimbal !
