Design Improvements
Compared to its predecessor, the
Osmo Mobile 6 has the same sized built-in extension rod and 3-axis stabilization for ultra-smooth video. However, the updated version offers optimized button controls and locks for more intuitive control. A status panel allows you to view your gimbal mode more accurately. An axis lock secures the gimbal when not in use to prevent strain on the motors and make storage more convenient, and a side wheel can control the zoom and focus. Overall, the Osmo Mobile 6’s joystick has been improved for a more comfortable grip and smoother operating experience.
Interface and FunctionalityInternal improvements to the
smartphone gimbal improve the quality of your video while making setup more efficient. The Mobile 6 features magnetic alignment detection to ensure that your phone is properly affixed to the gimbal. This ensures the gimbal does not sustain damage to its motors if misaligned and that your smartphone is secure prior to use. Looking to upgrade the mount? Go for the OM Magnetic Phone Clamp 3, which can accommodate larger smartphones up to 3.3" wide and 10.2 oz with the case attached. Integrated LED lights on either side of the clamp improve your image’s visibility for great lighting in your vlogs without needing an additional accessory.
