My Favorite Things: Mobile Phone Gimbal

The author using Osmo Gimbal on bird watching trip.


A gimbal holds your phone/camera and eliminates or significantly reduces shake due to photographer movement. The DJI OSMO Mobile 3 gimbal has a great app with many options for photography and videography. I use the Mobile 3 with an iPhone 8.

Below is a video taped in hyperlapse mode with the DJI app. It's an interesting effect that transforms a boring walk along the road. There are other features of the app that improve the video capabilities of your phone.

The link below is for the OSMO Mobile 3 kit which I highly recommend over the gimbal by itself. The kit includes hard and soft cases and an attachable tripod. These are good to have so go ahead and get them as a kit and save yourself some inconvenience.
