Creating great video with a smartphone is easy when you have a DJI Osmo Mobile stabilizer. We did a review of the DJI OM3 a while back and now we are happy to announce that DJI just released the newest version: the OM4 Smartphone Stabilizer. The features of this new version of the DJI Osmo were kept a secret until the launch on August 26: but they did send me five to give away as prizes. So learn more about Osmo stabilizers then enter for a chance to win.

How easy is to use an Osmo Mobile smartphone stabilizer?

The Osmo Mobile smartphone stabilizer series are known for their ease of set up and for providing an inexpensive, easy to use way to shoot professional looking videos with just your smartphone. You know the problem we all have with phone videos: they are jittery, lose focus of the subject, etc. Capturing steady always-on-point videos by holding a phone in your hand is not easy. Mount the phone in an Osmo and suddenly a whole world of videography opens up. The gimble and software can keep the subject in the center of the field of view no matter if your hand is shaking or bouncing around. Imagine you are filming a lightning storm from a moving car on a bumpy road; with your smartphone in an Osmo Mobile the image is perfectly stable. It really does all the work; you just hold it in your hand and decide what to shoot.

DJI has created an amazing technology that keeps getting better with each iteration. Erin mentioned in her review of the Osmo Mobile 3 that the new features in that version made it more versatile. What will the Osmo Mobile 4 offer?

  1. Can’t wait to try out this new gimbal! Absolutely loving the idea of spinshot feature – creating inception like videos will be mind twisting. In addition, the cloneme pano feature is cool for fun family photos!

  2. For sure the Activetrack to help film with running and the gesture controls for quick actions whether I want to record or take a shot.

  3. The gesture control to start recording is really cool, I would be pumped to try that one out first! I like that the mount is magnetic. Super quick! I also like that the battery life is up to 15 hours! Wow!

  4. I’d love to try:
    1. DJI ActiveTrack 3.0 technology helps keep specific subjects centred and in focus while they’re in motion
    2. Via the DJI Mimo app, Story Mode features preset camera movements, filters, and soundtracks so you can create your own movies and stories

  5. I’d love to try the Quick Roll and DynamicZoom features! I’ve seen a gimble once and it looks like so much fun to play with!

  6. The two feature I would love to try are the gesture contests and the quick roll. Both features would be so helpful.

  7. One feature on the Osmo Mobile 4 that I would very much like to try is DynamicZoom, which, according to the features article, “allows cinema-grade zooms.” That sounds quite revolutionary, which I really like. Another feature that I would just love to test out for myself is DJI ActiveTrack 3.0 technology, which “helps keep specific subjects centred and in focus while they’re in motion,” as mentioned in the features article. This feature looks rather innovative. Sounds fantastic!

    Thank you so much Best Buy Blog for running this contest and offering the opportunity to win a stunning prize! Would love to win and be absolutely delighted and excited, not to mention over-the-moon, if I did!

  8. Gesture controls that allow you to take a photo or start recording video with a simple movement of the hand sure is amazing. The Quick Roll permitting transition from landscape to portrait mode, and vice versa, in an instant would definitely be helpful. Absolutely would love to try these two features and more. Thanks Best Buy!

  9. Excited to try these two features:
    1. DJI ActiveTrack 3.0 technology that helps to keep specific subjects centred and in focus while they’re in motion, and
    2. Lasting up to 15 hours on a single charge is very convenient, so that you don’t have to worry about frequent recharging

  10. I have very shaky hands whenever I try filming something, the ActiveTrack 3.0 technology sounds like the perfect solution to my problems. Another thing that I would love to try is to use the DJI Mimo app to create videos

  11. Two features I would love to try are:
    1-DynamicZoom allows cinema-grade zooms such as the dolly zoom effect

    2-Gesture controls let you use a range of simple gestures to take a photo, start recording, and more!

    Super excited!

  12. I would love to try out all of the features in this amazing DJI Osmo Mobile 4!
    I am impressed by the simplicity and ease of attachment with the magnetic quick mount, as well as the amazing 15 hour battery life.
    I’d like to start by trying out the DJI ActiveTrack 3.0 technology to test the limits of actively tracking local wildlife in motion, like hummingbirds up close and geese flying past overhead as they prepare to fly south for winter.
    The CloneMe Pano is another interesting feature that just begs to be experimented with.
    Finally, the DJI Mimo app is an absolute must to review thoroughly. It just adds so many new and interesting features to DJI Osmo Mobile 4, such as “Story Mode features preset camera movements, filters, and soundtracks so you can create your own movies and stories”.
    There is just so much to like about DJI Osmo Mobile 4 along with the DJI Mimo app!

  13. features on the Osmo Mobile 4 that for me I really need: 1 the Magnetic quick mount because sometimes I’m all thumbs 2 15 hours on a single charge because I like to take photos and videos outside away from the hustle and bustle 3 Active Track and stability cause I’m not as steady as I used to be. And lastly I don’t have a Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer and this is the icing on the cake in terms of brand name !

  14. The awesome ability of easy transition from Landscape to Portrait mode and the great Magnetic Mount feature it has! That’s a BEAUT!! ♥♥
