The biggest relief, in my opinion, is how much easier it is to unfold the device and connect my mobile device. Navigating the DJI Mimo app is difficult at first, there’s definitely a learning curve, but once mastered, your options are limitless.

Moving the minutest amount while shooting video with your phone can lead to shaky, unusable footage that no amount of optical image stabilization will correct. This leaves the center of gravity of the whole rig, however heavy it may be, exactly at the operator's fingertip, allowing deft and finite control of the whole system with the lightest of touches on the gimbal.

It’s something that will help owners of action cameras, vloggers, and DSLR users benefit from substantially increased accuracy right out of the box. Tap “Tilt Control” and then you can control the pitch axis on the home page by scrolling up and down on the right side of the screen. That’s why it’s important to pick in accord to your experience in terms of the gear used in your field.

You can wave goodbye to tilting, rolling, and panning, as the motors will keep lighter action cams, vlogging cameras, smartphones, and even DSLRs in place. This means you can create video content all day without feeling any unpleasant friction or weight on your hands. The smartphone clamp needs to be as centered as possible or it won't work properly, and DJI's app will notify you to do so.

With the old 3400mAh 4S smart battery fully charged, the Ronin can run for over 4 hours, depending on the attached camera rig and gimbal usage.Although its supportive strength when it comes to smartphone weight is formidable, it amounts to little as its actual weight is above 2 pounds, which pretty much spells ’hand fatigue’. You'll also need to remove the case from your phone for the clamps to adequately grip your smartphone. As smartphones and their cameras get more sophisticated, it can make sense for many people not only to use them to capture moments but add tools to make their imagery more professional. Features worth bragging about include object tracking, focus and zoom capability, a shutter trigger, and advanced shooting techniques like time-lapse, hyper-lapse, motion lapse, slow-mo, and more. The Hohem iSteady is heavier than the other options in this list, with an aluminum design and a larger overall frame.

If you’re into creating content such as short films, reels, or TikTok videos, this is the iPhone gimbal you should go for with your eyes closed.The DJI Fly app offers a simple and intuitive user experience, enabling you to create cinematic shots with just a few taps. An inertial measurement unit (IMU) responds to movement and utilizes its three separate motors to stabilize the camera. If you’re looking for lightweight products with premium stabilization technology and portability, I recommend you look elsewhere, but if you don’t mind a 2-pound stabilizer that is both sturdy and intuitive to use while being available at a very low cost, look no further than Zhiyun Smooth 4.
