Most premium smartphone gimbals available today have a tracking feature. This allows you to center on a subject and then move around it (or have it move around you) while always keeping it in frame automatically. This is great, but it requires you to use a camera app made by the gimbal manufacturer. This means you do not get the same quality/features you would if you could use your phone’s default camera app. It’s a considerable compromise: if you want tracking, you must sacrifice using the camera you know and trust. Thankfully, the new DJI Osmo Mobile 7P doesn’t have this problem, making it one of the most exciting gimbals on the market right now.
Of course, the new Osmo Mobile 7P also has all the features you love from the Osmo Mobile 6 and some additional new tricks that put it head and shoulders above most competitors. It still treats Android as a second-class citizen, but the good stuff might outweigh that for most buyers. Clearly, there’s a lot to talk about, so let’s jump in!
