DJI OM 5 FAQ

General

1.Can I detach the Magnetic Phone Clamp and mount it to my phone again?

Yes.

2.What is the magnetic force of DJI OM 5?

The magnetic force of DJI OM 5 is 47.5 Newtons, which is approximately the weight of two 2-liter soda bottles. This is more than enough strength to keep smartphones attached securely. 

3.Will the magnetic force of DJI OM 5 generate interference that affects my smartphone?

DJI OM 5 will not affect the performance of the phone attached to it. However, some phones may require calibration after mounting. The magnetic design may influence other magnetic products. Do not put OM 5 near a bank card, cardiac pacemaker, hard drive, or similar devices. Additionally, phones transmitting data with magnetic signals may also be affected (for example, Samsung phones supporting MST). It is recommended to take off the phone clamp before using such functions.

4.Does DJI OM 5 support phones that are lighter and thinner than average?

For more information, please refer to the phone compatibility list on the official DJI website.

Align the dots on the phone clamp and the roll motor of the gimbal. After attaching your phone onto the gimbal, rotate the roll motor and make sure the phone and gimbal are locked.

6.What should I do if the gimbal is visible in the frame after attaching my smartphone?

Due to wide-angle lenses and/or irregular phone sizes (for example, those of Huawei P40, and Huawei Mate 20 Pro), some users may see the gimbal in their camera view. Users can try the following: Adjust the position of the Magnetic Phone Clamp, moving it away from the camera until the gimbal is not visible in the camera's view (applicable to iPhone 11 Pro, OPPO realme X2 Pro, OPPO Reno 2, Samsung S10+, etc.).

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/
