Two Attachment Options for Versatile Scenarios
DJI, known for its consumer drones and cutting-edge camera technology.
We've featured their handheld camera series before.
The latest release from DJI is the smartphone stabilizer, "DJI OM 4."
This latest model in the popular Osmo Mobile stabilizer series, now renamed "DJI OM 4," allows for the creation of highly engaging content with simple steps.
Its foldable design enhances portability, making it easy to carry anywhere. The battery offers 15 hours of operation on a full charge and can also function as a power bank to charge other devices.
Compatible with most smartphones and featuring a powerful motor, the DJI OM 4 can securely hold even heavier smartphones compared to the Osmo Mobile 3.
Additionally, two types of attachments can be selected depending on the situation, making smartphone mounting and balance adjustment easier than ever.
One is a magnetic smartphone clamp made of lightweight metal. It securely grips the back of the smartphone, allowing normal use while attached, yet can be quickly mounted onto the DJI OM 4 for shooting.
The second is a magnetic ring holder. It adheres to the back of the smartphone and attaches instantly to the DJI OM 4 via magnet, requiring no balance adjustment. The intuitive design allows users to operate the DJI OM 4's basic functions with one hand.
It can be put into standby mode when not in use, and can be easily reactivated for immediate use.
Shooting functions have also seen significant updates.
It features "ActiveTrack 3.0," which automatically tracks a selected subject and activates the gimbal. This version improves the recognition of subjects such as people, children, and pets. For enhanced operability, the composition during ActiveTrack can now be adjusted using the dedicated joystick.
Operation also supports hand gestures, allowing for easy control of video recording start/stop and photo capture. This is perfect for selfies or group photos where you don't want to set up a timer.
Additionally, using pre-programmed gimbal movements and modes enables unique gimbal actions and professional-looking video recordings.
Other features include "DynamicZoom" for dramatic background movement, time-lapse, slow-motion, and panorama shooting.
Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Manager at DJI, commented:
"The DJI OM series of smartphone stabilizers has evolved year after year, offering more powerful stabilization for anyone to easily capture stable photos and videos. With its redesigned magnetic attachments and foldable design, the DJI OM 4 represents a further leap forward, enabling even users new to gimbals to create content that captivates everyone."
"The new normal has prompted people worldwide to reconsider how they spend their days. As smartphones are increasingly used not only for work but also for connecting with family and sharing life's joys, the DJI OM 4 will be an essential support tool for smartphone photography, enabling the capture of fun, smooth, and engaging footage."
The "DJI OM 4" has evolved perfectly in sync with the ever-advancing capabilities of smartphones. It's a device that allows anyone to easily create high-quality photos and videos, enriching daily life with enjoyment.
