DJI OM 5 Setup

DJI OM 5 Setup

If you are new to DJI gimbals, the first thing you need to do is install the DJI Mimo app onto your smartphone. And if you are coming from the DJI OM 4 or other devices, you might want to delete and reinstall the Mimo app to make sure you have version 1.6.

Next, unfold the gimbal. You need to swivel the top around 180 degrees first, as this locks the gimbal in place. Make sure it doesn’t slip back as you are trying to unfold it. It unfolds on this silver hinge so just be careful not to pull it in the wrong way and do something nasty to your gimbal.

The hinge is on a spring, so once it’s open it locks into place without you needing to do anything.

At this point, you might find it easier to screw the mini tripod base into place. It just makes it easier to mount the phone this way. Now take the magnetic clamp and slip it over your smartphone.

Make sure the camera symbol is on the top of the phone and your phone’s camera is placed on the left – follow the arrow. The clamp should snap into place, but you need to align the notch on the gimbal with the opposite part of the “jigsaw”. There’s a small white dot on both to let you know you have it in the right place.

Next step is to power on the gimbal. Like the DJI OM 4, it always boots up with the phone in portrait orientation. Now boot up the Mimo app and follow instructions to connect the gimbal. It should show you a message saying the gimbal has been found, so just tap “connect”.

If it connects successfully, at this point you’re basically ready to get shooting with your gimbal.

DJI OM 5 Smartphone FT (Selfie) & Selfie Stick

DJI OM 5 Smartphone FT (Selfie) Another setting in the Mimo app which I think is new is the auto FT (or face Track) when using the selfie camera. If this is switched on, when you use the selfie camera it will automatically search for your face and start tracking. Selfie Stick One of the unique features of the OM 5 comes with an extending handle. It’s actually not the first smartphone gimbal with this feature, but it’s unique amongst the Osmo Mobile range. https://momofilmfest.com/

DJI OM 5 Smartphone Motor Angle Tip

Image
DJI OM 5 Smartphone Motor Angle Tip Note this little hinge where the selfie stick part attaches to the gimbal arm. When you push the arm back into the handle, it sits at a slight angle. So make sure it’s at this angle when you lock it. Also, I noticed that when the gimbal handle extension is put away, and you have the gimbal sitting on the tripod base, the bottom motor is now at this slight angle. And if you try to pan left and right, it’s not quite as smooth as when the bottom motor is level with the horizon. So if you are using the gimbal resting on a flat surface and you want it to be able to pan smoothly (that includes using the tracking feature), I would just make sure the arm is at least extended a little and the bottom motor level with the surface. Even when holding the gimbal in your hand, you might find it moves smoother with the motor just popped up a little and levelled out. https://momofilmfest.com/
