DJI’s OM 4 is a gimbal that makes wobble-free shooting easier than ever

DJI is very good at two things: drones, and helping us all shoot mobile video that isn’t unwatchably jerky. Its latest launch concerns the latter. Seemingly ditching the Osmo branding of its forerunners, the OM 4 is the company’s latest handheld gimbal, and the big story here is a new magnetic clamping design that makes it easier than ever to snap on your phone and start shooting. Like the Osmo Mobile 3 before it, the OM 4’s folding design makes it highly portable, while upgraded motors allow it to support heavier phones. As you’d expect, the OM 4 comes with a host of pre-programmed shooting modes, like dynamic zoom, spin shot, timelapse and 3×3 panorama to name just a few. Thanks to improved tracking you can expect better distinction between subjects like adults, children and pets, and gesture controls make on-the-go recording a cinch. The OM 4 is available to buy from today for £139.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
