I don’t know what the image of a mobile phone stabilizer is in your mind. I believe many people still have the impression that it’s a big one and comes in a big box, which makes it inconvenient to take it out. But in fact, look at the OSMO Mobile in my hand. 6. I gently folded the stabilizer that used to be a huge one and can now store it into a size close to the palm of my hand and put it in my pocket. The point is, did you know that it can be stretched out and extended for one second to become a selfie stick and handheld stabilizer? In fact, these are not new features , but I believe that many people’s impressions of stabilizers are still from four or five years ago, so follow me today to re-understand what mobile phone stabilizers have evolved into . Speaking of mobile phone stabilizers, you must have heard of them. One brand is DJI. The classic OSMO Mobile series has unknowingly reached its sixth generation , which is DJI OSMO Mobile 6. In the past, DJI actually made a lot of attempts at mobile phone stabilizers, including the minimal storage I mentioned earlier. The biggest change other than the built - in selfie stick is that DJI has adopted a magnetic quick-release buckle since OM4. I think the biggest benefits are three. First, it is very easy to install. You can snap your phone into the middle of the buckle like this. Once the installation is complete, second, I think this is the most important thing. You can detach the phone from the stabilizer at any time. If there is a sudden call, take it off. You don’t have to clumsily connect the whole stabilizer to operate there. Third, this is Additional items include more buckles and more ways to play. This official fixture can be replaced . For example, the official has launched a fill light module, which can directly fill in the face while recording. Do you have any questions here ? Hello, please tell me what I want to know. The power button on my phone is very low. Just press and hold the power button like this. How do I turn it on? Don’t worry. DJI’s clamp has a bevel design to help you keep the power button. It creates space to create a safe haven for the buttons. In addition, today’s mobile phones can be opened directly by touching the screen, so the problem is not big. However, this clamp has a small limit on the thickness of the mobile phone. However, we have tested the left side of the mobile phones we have in our studio so far. It is possible here, that is, these two mobile phones are too thick and cannot be inserted into the card, but I think most people will not have these two mobile phones. In terms of stability, in fact, I have been using its magnetic force since OM 4. It’s very strong , and when you put on the stabilizer , the shaking will almost be offset, so the picture is very stable. The second most important point is the appearance. Let’s look at the accessories. This time, there are four main things in the box - of course, the stabilizer. The main body is about this big after being stored. The second is the magnetic clamp just now. The third official also comes with a tripod. It is very light and you can install it on the bottom of OSMO Mobile 6. It is usually not unfolded and can be used as an extended holding area for shooting. The ground-mounted screen is very practical when paired with a telescopic pole. When unfolded, you can directly stand the entire stabilizer on the ground to do some time-lapse or take group photos. It is very convenient. So far, the tripod has been tested. Stable enough , but if there is wind or the ground is uneven, it is recommended not to stretch the telescopic rod and let the entire center of gravity be lower. The last official directly provided a storage bag with enough lateral space . I will just put everything in it. It is very easy to store when laid flat in the mezzanine of a backpack. It is also very light to take out at any time. Finally , OSMO Mobile 6 also has a USB C port on the body that supports up to 10W charging. We have also tested that this USB C cannot charge mobile phones. Next, let’s look at the actual operation of OSMO Mobile 6. It’s actually very simple. When you twist the fixed lock and unfold the stabilizer, OSMO Mobile 6 has automatically turned on at this time. Then just suck the phone up and the installation is complete. If you have paired it before Open the Mimo App that comes with DJI. At this time, the phone will automatically connect to complete the OSMO Mobile 6. The control area is also very intuitive. There is a smooth scroll wheel on the left. There are two main modes. The first is zoom. The second is manual zoom. The zoom is very intuitive and is Zoom. in , Zoom out Zoom in , Zoom out You can also adjust to manual focus mode and then use this wheel to complete delicate focusing. Then the rocker on the panel is the motor corresponding to the stabilizer. You can correct the picture up, down, left, and right to adjust the angle of the picture. Then this The red one is obviously the shutter that can be used to start recording or taking pictures. The following one is interesting. Press it to switch the lens to see whether you want to use the rear lens or take a selfie . However, it cannot be switched when recording. It is more practical for you . You can switch between landscape and portrait. Just press it twice and you will see that it will automatically switch to portrait shooting. Press it twice again and it will return to landscape shooting. In this era of short video and audio, of course, portrait shooting is also a must. However, I think it is a pity that due to the limitation of the arm design of OSMO Mobile 6, he cannot turn the main camera to himself. Let me directly demonstrate here. We put the phone here and then we turn it to the right . The radius is about here and then turned to the other side , so it cannot be used to take selfies with the main lens. But if you are more accustomed to looking at the screen to take selfies, then there is no difference. In addition, it is the same button. You can switch between the video recording and photo taking modes you want by pressing three times . After getting a little familiar with it, I got started on the first day I got it. It’s not difficult, but it is a photography tool after all. If you just want to shoot stably, it ’s very simple to use it smoothly. But if you want to play it in depth, I think you can spend some time to understand the built-in functions. The four stabilization modes are Gimbal Follow, Tilt Lock, FPV and Rotation. It’s better to shoot without rotating the platform. I will give you a simple demonstration to show you the most clearly. The first Gimbal Follow mode is the most common and intuitive, that is, the stabilizer will completely follow your direction when you turn to the left. The screen of the mobile phone will move smoothly to the left, up, right, and right. In other words, the gimbal will move smoothly in your direction no matter what . The second one is called pitch lock. Pitch lock means that only left and right movement is left. Function. In this mode, the screen will only move horizontally, that is, moving left and right. It is suitable for shooting panning, moving forward or circling, but you can still use the joystick to fine-tune it. The third one is called FPV. This mode is more advanced and suitable for those who are already familiar with the stabilizer because the gimbal will be controlled by you. It is suitable for shooting some extraordinary camera movements and can achieve transition effects like this. The last mode is called rotation shooting. This mode allows you to push the joystick. Let the phone rotate smoothly in the direction you want. You can turn it standing up or move the camera forward and backward with your body. It is suitable for shooting some dramatic scenes with high tension. The main thing is that these four modes can be switched through the M key on the panel. There will also be a mode icon directly on the panel to help you quickly understand. What is special is that the one on the upper left is a status indicator. The system will detect whether the phone is successfully installed, and the one below is for battery power . But be careful, it is not about how many bars there are . It takes a little getting used to seeing the color of the light. OSMO Mobile 6 also has a trigger. I will talk about the following functions together. Then let’s talk about it. A major focus of OSMO Mobile 6 this time is that DJI has updated Smart Follow 6.0. What is paired with this is the trigger on the back. Click to turn on automatic follow. Double- click to return the gimbal to normal. Press and hold to lock the gimbal to achieve enemy movement and keep the camera stable. This time, with Smart Tracking 6.0, you can draw with your fingers. Frame directly selects to track the subject , and when the subject moves, OSMO will automatically rotate the motor to keep up with the movement of the object. However, the speed of the motor is limited. It would be better to follow it. Simply put, the system will follow the movement after catching up , but this is the most basic. The key point is that this time Smart Tracking 6.0 now supports the continuous tracking function. Let’s give a simple demonstration here. Now in the screen, the original person was walking and then passed through a large pillar. The person disappeared from the screen and reappeared in OSMO Mobile 6. Tracking back tightly, I went in, I jumped out again, I jumped in, I jumped out again, it’s not just obstacles. When taking a selfie, if you encounter a side face from time to time or even turn around, it can also continue to identify and track it. The accuracy measured so far is It's quite high , but if you try to trick him into thinking that he went in with A and came out at the same time, there are A+B. If there are two people with the same body shape but wearing completely different clothes, OSMO can still follow it. But if the two people really look alike, it will still be organic . The rate is confusing , but this smart judgment mechanism has been updated to the current version after DJI's size. Of course, there is a situation where it will never be recognized. Cover your face and OSMO will stop tracking until you put your hand down the system . I will continue to track it back , but for the past few weeks, I have been testing OSMO Mobile 6 in situations where I don’t know where the dog will rush to in the next second. I can still hold it and handle it (very dedicated and running wildly). If I come back again You often record and take selfies . This is very functional. I think it is very practical. Turn on the gesture activation control here in the APP screen and you can directly start shooting and then finish shooting. It is quite practical for taking group pictures or For single-person shooting scenes, you can just put the stabilizer on the table and start recording, and then you can play freely. For example, if I was sitting down to record and suddenly want to stand up to introduce something or want to take the picture to other places, I can just do it. When you stand up, the stabilizer will follow you to where you are , and then when you come back, the screen will still be on you. Speaking of which, this selfie should be intuitive for Android users. The DJI Mimo App also has a built-in beauty mode that can do this . Basic face slimming, microdermabrasion, whitening, etc. But it is a pity that the beauty function can only support 1080p 30FPS at present. I think it would be more practical to shoot in 4K and then process it on the computer. Of course, the special gameplay exclusive to the stabilizer is definitely indispensable. They are still in the App. It has built-in several practical or interesting shooting modes , such as time-lapse photography. There are three types of static trajectory and motion. What is special about trajectory photography is that through the steering of the gimbal, you can shoot a panning time-lapse video of up to 240 degrees or Yes, you can also customize up to four point cloud platforms, which will move according to the trajectory you set during the time-lapse period. The motion trajectory is relatively simple. You can hold it in your hand and DJI will automatically help you time- lapse the scenery along the way. It becomes a highlight clip. I think what everyone is more interested in is the dynamic zoom. In fact, it is the famous Hitchcock zoom , or it is called Dolly Zoom. Some people will directly combine it and call it Zolly. It is very popular in movies both at home and abroad, both ancient and modern. The effect, tension, technology and optical characteristics of the lens are all concentrated in this technique. In fact, it is really not easy to shoot. But now through DJI, you can easily achieve this dynamic zoom effect. First, you can choose from far to near or from far to near in the App. It is completed from near to far and then moves forward and backward according to the instructions on the screen. In addition , there is a panoramic shooting mode that can take this super wide-angle effect. DJI provides three modes including 3X3 , which means taking nine pictures and combining them into one. The photo 240° mode combines 7 photos into one long photo. The most interesting thing is that the panorama of the avatar can be taken by turning the gimbal in three directions to synthesize a photo of the avatars appearing at the same time. As for the battery life, we tested it in one day, including It took a total of about five hours of shooting for normal walking and intense running. The battery ran out . If it is a normal walking scene, one charge a day is enough. Bonnie's actual charging time can be fully charged in 1 hour and 16 minutes. If you use it outside for a long time, it can be fully charged. It is safer to bring a power bank. At the end of the day, I want to show you the experience of using the app. OSMO Mobile 6 is equipped with DJI Mimo. This app can be downloaded directly from the App Store for iOS. For Android, you need to install it through the Apk on the DJI official website. But this It’s not the point. What I want to say is that Mimo is an app that is actually very special. It is not just an app for controlling OSMO. It can almost be said to be the best portal for newbies in photography. From the main menu, you can feel that DJI is very friendly to novices. The shooting teaching content is very rich . It can be divided into two major categories : DJI School and Shooting Guidance . First, let’s talk about the main content of DJI School, which is the teaching content officially recommended by DJI. Including detailed operation tutorials, various graphic and video explanations, there are teaching popular science videos released by the official or other creators, which are very rich in content. Novices can definitely take the time to watch them. The other one is shooting guidance. If we talk about DJI School If it is more like an online course, the shooting guidance is more like a practical imitation shot after class. There are many types , such as nature parks, cities, homes, food, seaside, etc. After selecting , you can see the details of the work and each step. The storyboard video and simple text annotations of each scene actually provide a lot of shooting ideas for novices with no shooting experience. They also give a lot of practical suggestions on lens movement and angle selection , and there is also a very considerate guide. When shooting, if the APP recognizes the scene of the photography director, a demonstration video will pop up directly in the upper left corner of the screen, but the prerequisite is that the photography director has the scene. You can really see that DJI is really working hard at it. What is quite special is that There is also a Story function in the camera menu. To put it simply, it is a simpler imitation of shooting. You can select different types of templates and click Start . The screen will automatically pop up for each shot to be taken and automatically assign each shot for you. It takes just one second to shoot, which is great. Finally, Mimo App also has a built-in one-click editing function. You can select a large number of videos. There is no special limit. Then import it in the upper right corner and it will automatically apply a template to help you generate a clip. Video , but it is a pity that the length of each clip cannot be adjusted and it is really automatically generated ! The program has also come to an end. Overall, OSMO Mobile 6 is a worry-free mobile phone stabilizer with complete functions. The main accessories are all in the box and can be used directly after opening. It is compact and easy to install. It has various smart functions and interesting modes. It has everything and the wisdom of being resurrected with full health after the update follows 6.0. It is also much smarter. If there is anything else worth looking forward to, I think it is the next generation of OM. Maybe it can take selfies towards the main lens or strengthen the motor to allow it to stick to the ground or various other things. The vertical elevation angle may have greater potential , but it must be lightweight, have a powerful motor , and have flexible angles. This is indeed a bit difficult , but this is technology! People-oriented and continuous progress. However, having said that, mobile phone stabilizers have really evolved a lot in recent years and have improved the initial pain points of being difficult to store and too large. If you have an old stabilizer or are considering a stabilizer , or have been affected by the size in the past. For those who haven’t bought a mobile phone stabilizer, instead of buying a selfie stick, a stabilizer in 2023 can do more than you think. This episode will stop here first. If you have any questions, please leave a message below to discuss! I am a donkey. See you in the next video.
