This has been the best video explaining how to use the DJI that I have seen. Thank you so much. I'm new and just scratching the surface on this one. Thank you!

Jeven , thanks for this detailed instructional video. I do not own a Gimbal and I am thinking of purchasing one very soon. There are so many out there that I am confused as to which one to get. I have watched a lot of videos on Gimbals but your video has helped me to narrow down the choice and go with the DJI Osmo Mobile 6. Thank you.
I just picked up my Osmo 6 and then got to watch your video; it hits on all aspects, so thanks! Now it's off to watch your next video on gimbal moves. Thanks again!!!
You are seriously fantastic in every possible way! I just recently purchased both a DJI Osmo Mobile 6 and a DJI Mini 3 Pro. I've been so apprehensive about figuring out how to get started and work with them, and then I found YOU! Thank YOU for your exceptional tutorials!
Thanks so much for this. I bought the 6 months ago and never used it because I didn't feel like figuring it all out. Then I heard today the 7 is on the way so I figured I'd better get some use out of it.
You have become the first place I search if I am wanting to get a "how to" video for much of my equipment. Thank you for sharing your time and talents!
Wow this was good. What I would have loved to see at the end was the complete project. I want to see the completed story arc… why you need the gimbal, what it does, how to use it, then the final results, the edited video showing all those techniques combined into a short video. Thanks for the great work
people making interview video about gimbals are telling every thing on gimbal ,but they're not talking about image stabilisation. these devices made for this. ..still video image. thank you for test that options. very useful for me.
Thank you, I have been looking at this thing for over a year, my Samsung doesn’t seem to work with the DJI very well so I have an older I phone because I only need 1080 footage for a project
thanks JD, quite helpful. i moved from Zhyihun to DJi, i faced some problems with the former, sometimes it acts up and the axis does not work as expected one time i failed completely, the good thing that the Zhiyun as over the DJis is that it has a built in Flash with multiple LED color cover options
Wow. How far this device has come. I had the original Osmo Mobile in its gigantic foam box and had to sell it as phones got bigger and heavier over my Galaxy S5 at the time. I might have to pick this up.
Always a great video breakdown. I had a laugh when I'm using the features as you're explaining them and Active Track found your face while I had it pointed at my computer monitor and followed you around....
I am obsessed with this product. I really want it now. Even though with people and we on a picnic or visiting a place, i dnt really use anything that brings attentuon to me. Still with the uses of this.product, i will see it on me anywhere. Because it is just a perfection in a pocket. ♥️ 🤔
I just got a message from Amazon and mine just got delivered to my house..gonna start my little content creator adventure tomorrow morning. This video is going to help me tremendously.

This is great! Loving the consistency that I’ve already used similar functions here with the Osmo 6 that is also used similarly in my Action 4 camera, (Mimo) and in flying the Mini 4 Pro’s active track features. You are The Best in this ton of info here you share! Wow, You Are The Best! Thanks again!🇺🇸 I have to figure out as a lone influencer how to make the active track work with only me capturing myself and the camera/gimbal.
I have a question, I’m debating between the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 and the Insta360 Flow Pro. When using the DJI Mimo app, is there any paid subscriptions or do I have to pay to use any of the app feature? I’m just looking for a gimbal that I can use to record and take picture when I go on vacation only.
BRO! Only like 7 minutes in and just learned it selfie stick lmaoooo!! I didnt see it anywhere or know how it worked but wow, here i am learning things already
I have a Sony ZV-1 camera but don't fancy paying three times the cost of an Osmo mobile 4 or 6 for a gimble. If I only want to set the ZV-1 recording and don't need any of the controls and only want the gimble function, is there a way to use the ZV-1 with this gimble?
Congratulations for this video it is a very interesting video and very easy to understand your English is understood very well for someone who is not a native speaker.
Hi Jeven this is such a great video, thank you. I shall purchase this now. One question that I have is how you record sound from your DJI Mic 2 ? What is the setup there please? Thanks Tom
Awesome video. I have an android and the app isn't available. I googled it and it says DJI stopped supporting apps after like 2021. So I'm confused. Do I need the app in order for this to work or no? I feel like without the app, I don't get all the use of the gimble.
Excellent video, I try my new toy along with your video, easy to understand and follow. Thanks for this fanstantic video, very helpful. You put a lot of work into this. Thankssss.
What I miss is that how to attach accessories, such as a light and / or a microphone to the phone or the gimbal. For example, a slot for them on the top of the phone holder clip would be handy.
Great video, will the phone clamp on this fit over larger phones (pixel 8 pro) with a good case on or will it need to be no case or a very slim one? I've just bought a new phone and it's stabilization is ok but I'd like to try to do more filming on it and think this would be a useful tool. Wil this work as a tripod too? Could it do phone level astro or would that be better on a camera tripod be better?
Thank you so much this was so helpful! Any chance it could be used without the app? I am unable to download it as it unavailable now for samsung android users.
Hi, your video was very helpful to me, thanks. I plan to buy a gimbal for my shooting, although I'm still undecided whether to get osmo mobile 6 or ZHIYUN Smooth-5S. I will have to decide quickly because I will be leaving for holidays soon. In any case I really appreciated your video and I subscribed to your channel simply because you were good, I will take a look at the other videos on your channel thanks
I recently got mine and use your video... great job... how can I go from selfie cam to front cam while taking video. Mine a message pops up saying you can't do it until the recording is stopped... I found this to be a major bummer - is there a workaround?
Good video. very useful. I like to download the app in my mobile. Looking for the link. Can any one share? Thanks. Unfortunately I get link to app guides.
Excellent detailed tutorial for the Osmo 6!! It's easily the best one I've seen. I have both the Osmo 6 and the Flow 360 and while I was using my Pixel 6 Pro they both worked great. Now that the iPhone 15 is out I upgraded to the 15 Pro Max for the ability to record in ProRes. Being that neither the Mimo or the 360 apps allow recording in ProRes these gimbals seem pretty worthless until the apps are updated by the companies, IF they even will update them. So do you have any suggestions for a gimbal which is usable while using either the native camera app or the Blackmagic app for recording in ProRes?
On DJ Mimo how do I mirror image the picture when I'm taking a selfie so that it sees my writing left to right instead of right to left - this is for teaching purposes. Thanks.
I am new to this DJI thing. I don't see the Auto mode on the left side. I also don't see the shutter speed, ISO and EV settings at the bottom. I am using a Samsung phone if that matters.
Jeven, I love watching all your videos. You have taught me so much how to film, fly my DJI Air 2S and the use of the DJI OSMO 6. But I am caught, between a rock and hard place. Should I purchase the DJI pocket three or wait for the OSMO 7? Once again thanks for all your videos, there great keep it up.
