Who it's for
Beginner and intermediate vloggers who want DJI's stabilization and tracking quality without paying for the higher-end Osmo Mobile 7P or 8.
Overview
DJI's latest entry-level smartphone gimbal brings 3-axis stabilization, a built-in foldable tripod, and ActiveTrack 7.0 subject tracking into a 300-gram body. It pairs with the DJI Mimo app for one-tap editing and ShotGuides that walk beginners through cinematic shot sequences, and it can charge your phone over USB-C during long shoots.
Pros
- Built-in foldable tripod means no extra accessory for stable shots
- ActiveTrack 7.0 keeps moving subjects smoothly in frame
- Only 300g and comfortable to hold for long sessions
- Up to 10 hours of battery, with pass-through phone charging
Cons
- No built-in extension rod (unlike the pricier 7P) — arm's-length shots only
- Gesture controls can misfire if you talk with your hands
What buyers say
Buyers repeatedly call out how smooth the footage looks even while walking, and how easy the gimbal is to set up and pair with a phone. A few note a learning curve with the button layout and app, and that the included magnetic clamp doesn't fit every case.
Great value among gimbal options
This reviewer called it a great price-to-feature ratio, noting the tracking worked well even for presentation-style filming, though gesture controls occasionally misfired since they talk with their hands. Overall build quality impressed them, and they said DJI clearly leads the category.
Smooth footage, easy setup
Impressed by the stabilization even while walking, this buyer said pairing with their phone was quick and the controls felt intuitive. They highlighted solid build quality and battery life long enough for extended recording, calling it a great pick for travel and social content.
A short learning curve, then it just works
A first-time gimbal buyer described a brief learning curve with the buttons and app, but said the stabilization and tracking exceeded expectations once set up — even smoothing out video recorded over rough terrain in a moving golf cart.
