One advantage is we can create those nice crane shots or fake drone shots without adding a monopod.

It also has an advantage over a monopod in that you can still use the mini tripod base. So you can stand the gimbal on a table or on the ground, with the handle extended. With a monopod you can’t. Of course, you can also add a monopod if you want that extra range.

Yes you could just add a selfie stick to the end of the DJI OM 4 gimbal, but then the weight would be up here so it’s more likely to fall over. With the weight at the bottom, it’s more secure.

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/
