DJI OM 5 Smartphone ShotGuides for Android

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 my Android device.

Again, I found that the Android version of the app does not have all the features contained in the iOS version. There’s still no manual control and the new HDR10 mode is also not available – even though the Note 20 Ultra can shoot HDR10+.

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/
