What’s New About the Osmo Mobile 7 Series?
The new DJI smartphone gimbals are designed for modern creators, meaning they take portability and usability to the next level. They feature DJI’s seventh-generation stabilization and ActiveTrack 7.0 technology and a range of other intelligent features that allow you to focus on content rather than technicalities. The subject will remain in focus, the lighting will be perfect, the audio will be impeccable, and the camera movements will be smooth. It’s almost hard to believe that one can capture cinematic footage with just a smartphone, but check out the Osmo Mobile 7 series features, and you’ll be convinced.
Intelligent Tracking
Both Osmo Mobile 7 and Osmo Mobile 7P support the Multifunctional Module that allows the user to track moving subjects without the DJI Mimo app. The module features gesture control, which means you can tell the camera what to do by showing your palm or making a “V” gesture or a Double L gesture. Even in scenes with multiple subjects, the module maintains a smooth, continuous focus on the subject. The Multifunctional Module is optional for the Osmo Mobile 7 and included in the Osmo Mobile 7P.
In addition, the ActiveTrack 7.0 technology detects multiple subjects and lets you choose the one you want the camera to follow, can smoothly switch from one subject to another, and continue to follow a subject even when they are momentarily obscured.
3-Axis Gimbal Stabilization
These devices can support phones up to 300g without compromising image quality. The 3-axis gimbal stabilization ensures professional-looking footage and allows you to get creative with camera movements. For example, you get to decide what gimbal movements the camera view must follow. This way, you can capture well-aligned pan and tilt movements, dynamic free movements, and even push, pull, and high-angle movements.
Furthermore, you can rotate the smartphone’s rear camera to face you by simply pressing the trigger three times. Easy, professional vlogging coming up!
Effortless Setup
Both models in the Osmo Mobile 7 series include a built-in tripod and the Osmo Mobile 7P includes a built-in extension rod, too. This eliminates the need for carrying additional accessories and enhances your creative freedom by giving you instant access to artistic shots.
Thanks to the Multifunctional Module, the devices are also part of the DJI OsmoAudio™ ecosystem and compatible with the DJI Mic Mini Transmitter, offering immersive, professional audio footage. They can also provide an adjustable fill light to improve shooting in low-light conditions. Hence, you only need one phone and one gimbal to have a complete photo setup on the move.
Smart Functionalities
Designed to be easy to use and versatile, DJI’s new phone gimbals are the ultimate creativity aid. Connect them to the DJI Mimo app and unleash smart functionalities that diversify your shot range.
Take, for example, the three intelligent shooting modes, Timelapse, Panorama, and DynamicZoom, each with a range of sub-modes, templates, and effects. You can create blockbuster shots and impressive clips just by choosing a couple of settings. And seek the Parents & Kids Mode, too, because you can be in the shot while the gimbal automatically handles camera movements.
Empowering Usability
These phone gimbals are not just intelligent and easy to use, they are also extremely convenient and easy to integrate into your workflow. To begin with, the battery lasts for up to 10 hours and charges your phone as well. The devices are compatible with iOS and Android smartphones, from entry-level models to high-end flagships.
Thanks to their magnetic design, they are easy to attach and detach. As soon as you unfold the gimbal, it powers on, and as soon as you pair it with a smartphone with the DJI Mimo app installed, the app pops up.
You can also pair them with a variety of DJI accessories, such as the DJI Mic Mini wireless microphone, the DJI OM Grip tripod, and the DJI MO Magnetic Quick-Release Mount for iPhone.
Who Should Buy These Phone Gimbals?
The Osmo Mobile 7 series is ideal for vloggers and social media creators who rely on portable and versatile equipment to produce professional audiovisual content. They shoot mostly on the go, record and edit the footage on their phones, and share it the second it is ready.
Sometimes, they are behind the camera; sometimes, they are in front of it. Most of the time, they switch between the filmmaker role and the model one during the shooting. Here, the gimbals’ ability to track a subject, automatically handle camera movements, and smoothly rotate the phone’s rear camera comes in handy.
At the same time, these small, easy-to-use, and reliable devices are suited for amateur videographers and filmmakers. They are packed with intelligent features that take care of camera movements for you but also with templates and tutorials that help you create beautiful shots and clips. Why not produce the best travel or family videos you can if all it takes is to set up a phone gimbal?
