DJI has launched the Osmo Mobile 7 Series. This new generation of smartphone gimbals elevates three-axis stabilization and intelligent tracking to new heights. Both the Osmo Mobile 7P and Osmo Mobile 7 models are equipped with DJI’s seventh-generation stabilization and ActiveTrack 7.0 technology, offering a suite of features designed to help you capture cinematic-quality-ish footage with your smartphone.
Osmo Mobile 7P: A Powerhouse for Creators
The Osmo Mobile 7P boasts a robust three-axis smartphone stabilizer while maintaining a lightweight and portable design. A standout feature is the new Multifunctional Module, which enhances subject tracking and includes integrated light control with adjustable color temperature and brightness levels. When functioning as a microphone receiver, the module’s USB-C port connects to your phone, delivering high-quality audio transmission and providing additional power. Setup is a breeze with quick one-step unfolding, an integrated extension rod, and a built-in tripod.
Osmo Mobile 7: Lightweight and Accessible
Weighing in at approximately 300 grams, the Osmo Mobile 7 is the lightest gimbal in its class. It shares the compact and user-friendly design of the 7P but comes at a more entry-level price point. Features include quick unfolding, a built-in tripod, one-step storage, and compatibility with the Multifunctional Module (sold separately).
Multifunctional Module: Your New Best Friend
The Multifunctional Module allows creators to track subjects using their smartphone’s native camera, live streaming apps, and other camera applications. It maintains focus in crowded scenes and can reacquire a subject if they momentarily leave the frame. Attaching the module is as simple as a magnetic clip, and it responds to hand gestures for various controls:
- Showing your palm starts or stops intelligent tracking.
- Making a “V” gesture takes a photo or starts/stops video recording.
- A “Double L” gesture with both hands adjusts subject framing.
ActiveTrack 7.0: Smarter Tracking
When paired with the DJI Mimo app, the Osmo Mobile 7 Series utilizes ActiveTrack 7.0, DJI’s most advanced tracking technology to date. This enables the gimbal to automatically follow subjects, even in crowded or dynamic environments. Smart Capture detects multiple subjects, allowing users to lock onto one or switch between them with a simple tap. Smooth tracking ensures accurate focus and maintains continuous tracking, even if the subject is temporarily obscured or moving swiftly.
Additional Features
- Side Wheel for Cinematic Control: Adjust focal length for flexible composition and smooth zooming, or switch to manual focus. A long press controls the fill light, allowing easy adjustments to brightness and color temperature, streamlining your shooting experience.
- Apple Watch Compatibility: Through the DJI Mimo app, your Apple Watch can serve as a smart remote, enabling remote control of the gimbal and camera feed.
Pricing and Availability
The Osmo Mobile 7P is priced at $149, while the Osmo Mobile 7 offers a more budget-friendly option at $89. Both models are available for purchase starting today. For more information visit DJI’s official website.
