DJI Osmo Mobile 7

Awkward to use no better than using iphone in hand its just a glorified selfie stick there are better ways to waste your money Awkward to use no better than using iphone in hand its just a glorified selfie stick there are better ways to waste your money

It's like a selfie stick and phone stand with a gimbal.

Cons:
For me personally, it's a tad bit heavy especially when recording for a long time. With the phone already being close to 230 grams and the gimbal being around 368 grams, you could say that it's about 600 grams in total. The weight should partially come from the selfie stick extension part; the part where it folds out. Another con is that it doesn't come with a case, shouldn't matter to most people but I sometimes find myself searching for a place to put the phone holder part as it is an awkward shape.

Another con is that it doesn't come with a case, shouldn't matter to most people but I sometimes find myself searching for a place to put the phone holder part as it is an awkward shape. Another thing about the phone holder is that the phone holder needs to be directly in the middle balance zone of the phone. My phone is the worst for this kind of thing where the camera is very heavy, and the power button is just a bit too low. Curved phones are also a pain, as the rubber directly touches the screen, rendering the touch on the phone useless (unable to use the screen). Luckily I was able to avoid the power button by positioning the rubber to be just a tad over the power button, but others might not be so lucky. The phone holder has to be in the middle or near the balance zone, as if it doesn't the gimbal is rendered as useless. The motors aren't majorly strong, but will do the job very well if the weight distribution is right. 5mm to the right, and the gimbal won't lift your phone upright.

Pros:
Works just as how a gimbal should work, bare in mind it is a 3-axis gimbal, not a 4-axis gimbal. The extension shaft is really sturdy, you really need a good tug to get it extended. Overall quality is fantastic. Other than all the cons that I have listed, it shows you how much easier filming people or objects is nowadays, it opens up a whole new different realm once you get to know how the device works. I don't have much to say about the pros, it just works as how a gimbal should work.

The reason why I gave it four stars, is because the multifunction module wasn't working correctly at the start when I opened the package, it could not turn on no matter how many times I tried or how many times I rewatched the tutorial videos. It eventually worked, but it did lead to some frustration at the start. Every video and instruction just said to stick it on to phone clamp, but it did not turn on, you apparently need to open the app, let your device connect through the app and then finally attach it. It's not that simple when the paper instructions don't give you clear instructions, and you have to find it yourself. I would give it less stars, but because it works well when it should this should be the appropriate rating for it.
