Product Review: DJI OM5 Smartphone Stabilizer

This stabilizer, designed to improve your mobile filming experience, is jam-packed with features that make it a must-have for both beginner and professional videographers.

A small pocket sized gadget with features that will blow your mind

We have tested it this year for Untold Festival but also for some personal projects. It has features that allow you to create really cool video footage or pictures. Moreover, the OM5 is super light and very handy, compared to a professional gimbal like Ronin. The only important aspect is, to use a phone with a very high standard camera. Our choice is Huawei P60 Pro.

A built in extension rod

The built-in extension rod is another notable feature. It enables you to take photos from unusual angles and heights, bringing a new depth to your recordings.

We have totally forgot about the extension rod and were a bit confused when we discovered it :-)!
