If I talk about drones to many, the DJI brand will come to mind, very famous in the field of aerial recording devices and stabilizers. In fact, recently the DGT (Spain) presented its new road surveillance drones with which they will impose fines, pure marketing ... And yes, those drones from which manufacturer were they ?: DJI.
A brand that is a product launch machine. And yesterday we got the latest: the new DJI Osmo Mobile 3, the new stabilizer for mobile devices like the iPhone. A new stabilizer that we want to talk to you about after the jump to give you all the details about why DO NOT buy…
The truth is that DJI wants to keep selling, and you want to do it by renewing products in quotes, and it is that this new DJI Osmo Mobile 3 offers the same as its previous versions, yes, is folded. A folding that can be very interesting when it comes to transporting it, but that contributes little when deciding to buy it and replace it with its previous version. It offers the same (I assure you): tracking of people; same controls with buttons to fix a plane, switch between landscape and portrait modes; zoom control, panorama creation, and a new gesture control that the gimbal doesn't even do, does the control app. Of course, it folds ...
Personally I have to say that these stabilizers, technically gimbals, they are not effective at all with mobile devices such as the iPhone, or at least with its more modern versions ... And it is that along with the launch of the iPhone 7 came the eoptical stabilization to iPhones, a great improvement for the cameras that brought a problem: it conflicts with the stabilization of the gimbals with the DJI Osmo Mobile 3. Yes you have to be very rogue to realize it, but if you look at the videos (those that you record and not promotional ones) a slight tremor is noticeable at the edges (known as Jittery) that is the result of the fight between the stabilization of the iPhone and that of the DJI Osmo Mobile. Something that cannot be disabled, only Apple could do it ... So, in my humble opinion, I do not recommend buying these stabilizers for iPhone, buying one for another type of camera ...
