    I have a Moment Lens that my other gimbal can’t handle. Can you please offer the weight of the lenses you used?

      the om5 cant handle any extra weight of the moment lenses. its a downgrade in terms of actual gimbal work compared to OM4. check out the review by the moment team of this lovely selfie stick.

    Hi, when I use USB connection when recording with SHURE MV7, the volume of the recording is very low. Would you mind giving me some solutions? Thanks!

    Can I use the MagSafe on my iPhone to stick directly to the OM5 and avoid the adapter?

    • Efficaciousuave

      September 8, 2021 at 5:34 pm

      nope, doesnt work.

    great but I just bought a OM4 so wont be upgrading any time soon!

    Comparison to Powervision S1?

    I wonder if it would work with the Fold 3 🤔

    the OM4 was an excellent gimbal. the OM5 with reduced battery and no upgrade to the maximum payload is a glorified selfie stick. i am so disappointed personally. i was really looking forward to something like an all in one like zhiyun crane m2 but from DJI. i guess the only good thing out of this launch of OM5 is that the OM4 prices would (hopefully) go down, making them a much better gimbal for the price.

    Nice detailed video

  19. Christiaan Boshoff

    Do you know if it supports 4K 60fps on Android yet? Not supported on the one we have and would be worth the upgrade!

    Great review, would’ve been even better to see a comparison to the previous version.

    Hey thanks for the video
    Have you tried it with the s21ultra?
    How about the compatibility?

    Could you please review it with a phone that has no IS? Not some phone that has one of the best IS.
    Btw can DJI OM5 create an automatic 360 photo Sphere? I can just put the gimbal and phone in some place, access the menu. It countdown and star making a 360 photo. Can it do it?

    And just remember like all DjI products: your phone has to be absolutely naked no protection for you better not drop that or accidentally have an equipment failure where falls…. Only insane people or or people who need show off their status symbol of a phone have their very expensive phones naked no protection….. Come on DJI a simple extended clip for thicker phones/phones with cases is only a few pennies more… Going to be quite simple for DJI to have a full USB type-c bypass to the handle to support any peripheral you want like microphone HDMI monitor and plenty of other things that could run through a fully supported USB c hub breaker box

    So basically its the Osmo 4 smaller and with an extendable stick… You are right. Mic connector is missing.

    What it your phone has a case I have the last model and with a case it was too heavy. And I was using a Apple case

    I have the OM4 and use a Movo Edge-DI Wireless Lavalier for iPhone for audio. The receiver that plugs into my phone, an iPhone 12 Pro Max, is small enough that it works great.

    The OM5 looks like you would be able to use the same wireless mic.

    Other than that, your review is great.

    Im looking for any technical points to giv me a reason to upgrade from om4 .
    Anyone ?

  28. Birger Ernfjord

    Regarding the microphone, the Saramonic Blink 500 PRO is a good alternative with cordless microphones.

    So typical that I just bought a Dji OM 4 in the belief that it is the newest, smallest and most comfortable.

  30. Caloy eh!

    This WILL DEFINITELY BREAK MY BANK.
