DJI OM 5 Smartphone ShotGuides for Android

Image
DJI OM 5 Smartphone ShotGuides for Android The good news is that the new ShotGuides feature is available. Also, on the DJI website it says the DJI OM 5 has Active Track 4.0 whereas the OM 4 has Active Track 3.0. It also says ShotGuides are available only for the DJI OM 5. So does that mean the 2 gimbals use a different version of the app? That’s something I will investigate later in this article. Those are the main differences. Next I’m going to quickly run through how to set up your OM 5, if this is your first time using one. DJI OM 5 Smartphone For Android On my Samsung Note 20 Ultra, when I go to the Play Store and check to see if the Mimo app needs updating, it says the app was last updated in November 2020 and that only Version 1.5.4 is available. But on the DJI website it says V1.6 is available for both iOS and Android. So I uninstalled DJI Mimo from my Samsung and downloaded it directly from the DJI website. And now I got the latest version of the Mimo app on...

DJI OM 5 Smartphone HDR10

Image
DJI OM 5 Smartphone HDR10 First thing I spotted in the app is the addition of HDR10. This means you can now shoot Dolby Vision with your iPhone 12 and the Mimo app. However, it seems it cannot shoot Dolby Vision at 4K & 60fps, whereas the iPhone itself can shoot Dolby Vision using that setting (at least on my 12 Pro Max it can). Another difference is that the pink Story mode button is gone. The ShotGuides button is in the top left and so the info icons for battery level and gimbal mode are moved over to the right. https://momofilmfest.com/

DJI OM 5 Smartphone New App

Image
DJI OM 5 Smartphone New App I already have the Mimo app on my phone as I already have a number of DJI devices which use it. However, when I tried to connect, it kept saying “device not found”. I could even connect directly with Bluetooth from my phone, but not through the Mimo app. I checked the app and it said I had the latest version. Turns out I needed to uninstall the app and then go back to the App store and install again. This way it made sure I had the latest version, which is 1.6 (at the present time). Once I had the latest version of the Mimo app, it connected fine. I had to go through all the usual permissions and newbie messages. So, the OM 5 comes with a Mimo app update and you need to make sure you have that update before you can connect your device. https://momofilmfest.com/

DJI OM 5 Smartphone Fold Lock, Clamp & Control Stick

Image
DJI OM 5 Smartphone Fold Lock The OM 5 is designed so that when it’s folded together, you need to lock it and then unlock it when you want to open it. Whereas the OM 3 and 4 gimbals simply pull open. Clamp The magnetic clamp is exactly the same size as the DJI OM 4 clamp. The only difference is that “OM” is now embossed in the rubber instead of “DJI”. Control Stick The previous 2 versions of the Osmo Mobile had a touch sensitive control stick. This meant you could press the control stick softly and get a slower pan, for example. It was a little bit tricky to use, but it was possible. As soon as I used the DJI OM 5 control stick, I noticed it now has a definite click when you move it. So it’s no longer touch sensitive. It’s either moving the gimbal or not. https://momofilmfest.com/

DJI OM 5 Smartphone Side Power Button & Thinner Handle

Image
DJI OM 5 Smartphone Side Power Button The power on or M button is now located at the side of the gimbal. Instead, a new button has been introduced at the front for switching camera orientation. One tap switches from rear to selfie camera and vice versa. Two taps switch the gimbal from portrait to landscape or vice versa. Thinner Handle The handle is thinner than the OM 4 handle, but it’s just as long. So it doesn’t make any difference to big hands. It also looks less like the hand grip of a handgun, which we might guess is to make it more multi-gender friendly as well as making it smaller when packed away. https://momofilmfest.com/

DJI OM 5 Smartphone Lighter & Folds Smaller

Image
DJI OM 5 Smartphone Lighter That also makes the DJI OM 5 somewhat lighter at  290 grams  to the DJI OM 4’s  390 grams  weight. So that’s like 25% less weight to carry around. Folds Smaller The DJI OM 5 is also designed to fold smaller. This means you now can’t fold up the gimbal with the magnetic clamp still in place, whereas on the DJI OM 4 you can leave it there if you want. Personally, I usually leave it on because that makes getting set up a bit quicker. You don’t have to hunt around in your bag for the clamp. Note also that the end of the gimbal arm fits snuggly into this new notch in the handle. And this notch also makes the handle easier to grip. https://momofilmfest.com/

DJI OM 5 Smartphone No Magnetic Sticker & Smaller Battery

Image
DJI OM 5 Smartphone No Magnetic Sticker The OM 5 uses the same magnetic clamp, but this time there is no option to stick it directly to your smartphone. Presumably, not enough people enjoyed that option to make it worth repeating. Both the OM 4 and OM 5 have the same strength motors. They can carry a smartphone plus extras weighing 290 grams or less. Smaller Battery One major change is that the battery is much less powerful. Whereas previous models lasted up to 15 hours, the DJI OM 5 battery lasts about 6 and a half hours. That’s because the handle extension takes up the space in the handle needed for a bigger battery. https://momofilmfest.com/
