New DJI OM 4 gimbal will assist budding iPhone film makers

DJI OM 4 Gimbal

The DJI OM 4 is a gimbal with a stronger motor, smarter software features, and a faster mounting system. Just attach your iPhone to the gimbal and it takes care of balancing the device for you.

There are two new mounting options — a magnetic phone clamp or magnetic ring holder. The phone clamp is like any standard phone mount for a gimbal, but the clamp itself is removable and attaches via the magnetic mount. The magnetic ring mounts to the rear of the smartphone with an adhesive for an always-attached mounting option.

Once attached with the gimbal powered on, it will automatically begin balancing and move the phone into a ready position. The software used within the DJI Mimo App will control all aspects of capturing video or photos with the gimbal.
