DJI OM 4 review

If you don’t mind clamping your phone down every time you come to attach it to your gimbal, then the £99 Osmo Mobile 3 is still the best value option on the scene - even with its last-gen motor which can get hot under the collar. That said, if you love convenience and want the best out there, stump up an extra £40, and bag yourself a tripod stand and a few accessories along with your gimbal and enjoy the OM 4’s collapsible, compact, detachable steady-cam excellence.

Most convenient gimbal around; Excellent battery life; Solid build quality;

Costs more than the Osmo Mobile 3; Core performance similar to predecessor; Ring mount only works with plastic phones;

The DJI OM 4 offers a way to capture smooth cinematic video without holding your smartphone completely hostage. Magnets attach your phone to the gimbal arm, which features upgraded 3-axis motors and a neat, though gimmicky Dolly Zoom mode.

Convenient magnetic design; Motors are stronger than OM3; Doesn't run hot

Won't work with all phone cases; DJI Mimo app has limitations; Dynamic Zoom a bit of a gimmick

There’s no getting around it – the DJI OM 4 is the best mobile gimbal you can buy right now. While its smaller updates might not make it the must-have device for current DJI Osmo Mobile 3 owners, the OM 4 is definitely the go-to device for anyone looking to buy their first mobile gimbal.

The DJI OM4 improves upon the best-selling Osmo Mobile 3 smartphone gimbal in meaningful ways. Its new magnetic mounting system delivers exceptional convenience, and the improved motor copes with heat much better than its predecessor, while also delivering noticeably extended range.

Compact with great performance; Convenient; secure magnetic clamp; Excellent battery life

Pricier than the Osmo Mobile 3; Ring mount only compatible with plastic phones; No marked stabilization improvements
