    This was very educational for me. I had no idea these were motorized or software-driven. I thought gimbals were just gravity-controlled with really low-friction ball bearings to keep the object level. This has opened a whole new world for me.

    I’m really enjoying the OM4 and this upload sealed the deal on me getting it.
    I use the iPhone 11 Pro Max and prefer the wireless charging feature on it almost exclusively … unfortunately the stick on ring interferes with wireless charging - so don’t use the ring if you use wireless chargers.
    The clamp works very well and the motors cope if you don’t get it PERFECTLY balanced and centred on the gimbal.
    I’m happy with my purchase and after just one day using, really happy with the results.
    Many thanks for the tutorial.

  • @encourageyu
    @encourageyu Před 2 lety +8

    The reason why the bottom is not flat is to prevent people from trying to use it without a large base. The force moving the phone would just knock if over. Great video. Also note the software for Android is no longer in the play store and has to be side loaded

    I have been a photo hobbyist for about 40 years. I just had my 3rd stroke and am disabled and shake pretty bad. I use my 12 pro max now but my photos and videos suffered due to my physical limitations. The OM-4 was the clear choice for me based on 2 months of research. I agree 100% with your conclusions about the device. Great for the money and makes it easier to get GREAT shots. Even I can do it :)

    Great review. Very impressed by the sound quality when you were filming outdoors with Rode wireless mic. May look into that.
    Question on the new OM 4. How does magnetic mount handle heavier phones like iPhone 11 Pro Max with case when the gimbal is subjected to shaking (Running, driving or maybe even riding the roller coaster 🎢 )? Have you been able to test what are the limits on the magnet holding under extreme conditions?

    The reason you need the tripod is because it would become top heavy without it, it would fall over as soon as the phone moved, not sure I’d consider that a negative. Great review, very thorough!

      I wondered the same, esp as I already had a magnetic disk on back of case for my in car magnetic phone holder. Once I connected my phone app to the gimbal, it came up with the error that there was additional vibration detected and did I have it connected to case rather than directly to phone? Erm... yep. Worth a try, but it knew the difference and didn't like it lol

    Yes! Great video! I have the OM4 and I believe it is well worth the $149.00. You can now take a much more steady video with your cell phone (I too have the iPhone 11 Pro Max) while walking and enjoying the outdoors. In the past I have tried making videos while walking through the woods where I grew up. One path was a favorite of hundreds of young people going to and from school over decades and I wanted to video it so all those student can relive fond memories. It was a much more convenient shortcut than walking the village streets and it was ALWAYS safe. Anyway, my videos have always come out with the "walking/bobbing" motion inherent in most less expensive video cameras even with minor stabilization. I can't wait to try videoing the path while using the OM4! It will be AWESOME!
