The Osmo Mobile 3 is of course the successor to the (very successful) Osmo Mobile 2. This is a gimbal designed for smartphones, which with the help of a smart hinge system can correct your small and involuntary vibrations and movements when shooting video, in order to give a much more professional look to your videos.
The 3rd generation of the popular stabilizer does not look like a revolutionary product compared to its predecessor, but more like evolution and repairing pretty much everything we did not find good enough in the previous one; The Osmo Mobile 3 is supposed to be much more ergonomic and easy to operate with a light weight of 405 grams; Its battery (which lasts for about 15 hours of charging) is charged via a USB-C connection (thank God) and is able to connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, which can prevent annoying disconnections and maintain a more stable connection.
This time, the Gimbal is even more suited to large smartphones and it seems that its new structure will finally also allow the connection of an external microphone to the USB-C port of your smartphone, which was almost impossible in the previous model in the series (unless you are blessed with a headphone port). Also, the new design will also allow you to shoot with wide lenses (which are becoming very common in flagship devices) without the gimbal itself capturing the photo.

Apart from that, the Osmo Mobile 3 can also fold at the end of the work, saving you quite a bit of space in the bag compared to the previous generation. However, it seems that this time DJI has decided to abandon the appropriate connection to the tripods that was located at the bottom of the previous model, and move to a peripheral tripod, which is a phenomenon that we are a little less encouraged.
Osmo Mobile 2 was the company’s first gimbal to allow vertical and horizontal photography, for the purpose of storytelling photography for example, but it required a rather annoying adjustment in any transition between the various shooting modes. Osmo Mobile 3 knows how to switch between the two modes at the touch of a button, thus saving you the hassle that really took the urge out of using it for such photos.
DJI has also added the feature that I personally was most looking forward to, and now you can place the gimble in front of you with the DJI app open on your smartphone, and with the help of hand gestures to activate the remote photography function and perform other actions (and hopefully also activate the Active Track mode). Alone after the photographed object), which can actually turn the Osmo Mobile 3 into a photographer replacement. DJI has even brought back the beloved trigger from the first model, so you will have more buttons and more control options in the gimbal that still supports various modes like panorama shooting, slow motion shooting, fast sport shooting and more.
