DJI has just unveiled its latest smartphone gimbal, the Osmo Mobile 7 series, offering two distinct models: the OM 7 and OM 7P. Both are designed for portability and ease of use, while the OM 7P caters to more professional users with advanced features.
The OM 7 and OM 7P are compact and lightweight, featuring a one-step unfolding mechanism for quick setup. They also include a built-in extension rod and tripod, offering greater flexibility for framing and capturing shots. However, there are some key differences between the two models.
The OM 7 is the more affordable option, ideal for casual users who want smooth and stable footage. It features a simplified control layout, replacing the side wheel found on the previous Osmo Mobile 6 with a more streamlined rocker switch.
The OM 7P, on the other hand, retains the side wheel for enhanced control. It allows for precise adjustments to focal length, zoom, and manual focus, giving users more cinematic control over their shots. Additionally, the side wheel can be used to adjust the brightness and color temperature of the integrated fill light on the new Multifunctional Module.
Speaking of the Multifunctional Module, this is a key feature exclusive to the OM 7P. It attaches magnetically to the gimbal and provides advanced tracking capabilities, even with third-party apps. It also includes a fill light and can act as a microphone receiver, adding versatility to your mobile filmmaking setup.
Power of the Multifunctional Module
The Multifunctional Module allows creators to easily track subjects using their smartphone’s native camera, live streaming apps, and other camera apps. It can accurately maintain focus in a crowd or reacquire a subject if they re-enter the frame after leaving briefly. The module can be easily attached to the gimbal with a simple magnetic clip and controlled using hand gestures1 to take photos, start or stop recording, activate tracking, or adjust a composition.
- Showing your palm to the module starts or stops intelligent tracking.
- Making a “V” gesture takes a photo. It can also start or stop video recording.
- Making a “Double L” gesture with two hands adjusts a subject’s framing.
ActiveTrack 7.0: Smarter Than Ever
When paired with the DJI Mimo app1, the Osmo Mobile 7 Series can use ActiveTrack 7.0. As DJI’s most advanced tracking technology, ActiveTrack 7.0 enables the gimbal to adjust to track subjects and follow their movements automatically, even in a crowded or active environment. Smart Capture allows the gimbal to detect multiple subjects, and users can direct the gimbal to lock onto one subject or switch to a different subject with a simple tap. Smooth tracking enables the gimbal to pinpoint the shooter’s preferred focus accurately and maintains continuous tracking even if the subject is obscured or moving rapidly.
Other Standout Features
- Side Wheel for More Cinematic Control: Creators can adjust the focal length for a more flexible composition and a smoother zoom or switch to a manual focus. Additionally, a long press enables control over the fill light, making it easy to adjust brightness and color temperature, thus simplifying your shooting experience.
- Compatible with Apple Watch1: Using the DJI Mimo app, creators can use their Apple Watch as a smart remote for the gimbal, remotely controlling their shoot and camera feed.
- Up to 10 hours of operational time.
Both models feature DJI’s latest three-axis stabilization technology and ActiveTrack 7.0, ensuring smooth footage and intelligent subject tracking even in dynamic environments. They also boast an impressive 10-hour battery life, a significant upgrade from their predecessor.
