DJI Osmo Mobile 6 vs Zhiyun SMOOTH 5: Review and Features | DJI OM6

Your video for me was like a course. I’m very happy with so much information, I’m new to gimbal.

I want a gimbal to use with my iPhone 13 Pro Max and my camera G7x mark ii. Which one should I get?

Went on a long trip with DJI - terrible and hated it. Difficult to balance even after calibration and hated the clamp.

is this support iphone 15 pro res LOG ?

Thanks for your review!

What a great review, you help me to decide with no hesitation Osmo 6 is my chose easy and fast setup is crucial from me. Thanks a lot

Hello, it is really admirable that you are responding to all comments. I had a small question, I will place the order according to your answer. Out of boredom I bought Gopro hero 9, my phone model is 14 pro max. I'm thinking of getting the 15 pro max when the iphone 15 comes out. Do you think it would be more logical to buy for a gimbal that I can use both Gopro and my phone? I think the powerbank feature in Smooth 5 will be very useful for Gopro. Because Gopros charge in 1 hour :(

Can you buy the pole(the selfie stick thing) thing for zhiyun?

Where is microphone option.pleses ripley.

thank you. best review video

The best, clearest, most to-the-point comparison video I've seen. Thank you.

Thank u!

hello Otto, thanks for the video. I will make some wedding reels and I need these one. I`ll go with OM 6. It looks more comfortable

Thanks Otto for the detailed review. Getting Dji with the link you have provided

Whats the difference between DJI OM6 and DJI Osmo Mobile SE?

This was the most impartial review for a product I've ever seen... I feel confident making a choice and unpressured by presenter bias. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you so much for the video. I bought the osmo 6 but is always shaky? Is there a mode to lock completely the phone?

Thanks, great review!

Hey, how to have such background? I'm planning to start vlog and i think it will be helpful. Thanks

Excellent review! Thank you so much!

Why does everyone compare the DJI OM6 with less portable ones?? Wouldn't the comparison with Zhiyun Smooth Q4 be better??

Great review! Nothing beats experience, it seems! But now I have a dilemma: I do not know which one to pick! I am a semi-pro photographer and I'm new to shooting with an iPhone (12 pro)...

I love your videos again hello

Does the OM 6 support heavier phone+case over the OM 5?
Does the OM 6 clamp effectively grip over a protective case like Otterbox Defender?

Hullow friend i want to buy om 6 but i own xiomi 12 pro android 12 phone and bit confused due to therei no mimo app in google play and whenever i download apk from dji site,it crashes and do not work at all,so i need your suggestion what to do?

Very detailed useful. Thank you for this video Otto!

For a samsung phone, which is better?

I need a phone gimbal for my new 14 pro and wife’s pro max that has seamless integration with the app..never mind the limitations of movements.. i just need a stable gimbal for our upcoming 7 day vacation cruise, portability, app functions and ease of use, this is a good choice for me for fast setup vacation mode gun and run..always a unbiased review which is awesome👍👍

New sub here. Thank you for the reviews. I'm purchasing an OM6 now. I use a pocket 2 for my travel videos but the OM 6 wll help me take new angle shots with my Samsung S20.

Will the dji work well with a Samsung s22

Stuck in an endless debate with myself on which one to get. The OM6 seems to match my style of shooting more but seems to be not quite as good a gimbal as the Smooth 5. Arghhh

I had the smooth 5 for 7-8 months and sold it last week. I'm over 60 years old and it's too heavy to hold and carry on in my backpack or camera bag. But I have still the power vision s1. It looks like will buy OM6 and wait for a sale or discount. in Canada, we also have to 12%. Thanks, Otto for the review easy way.

Love the option on the smooth 5, but love the compact form of the dji... I have an S22 Ultra, so dont know if the dji would be a good option

Otto that’s one cool name you have.

Where’re you from & where are you based currently?

The biggest issue for me (and others like me) is that neither of these manufacturers seem to think that the left handed market isn’t worth investing in. I get it’s tiny compared to the right handed market but it continues to be an issue with most tech gadgets. Bit of a pain but the minority continues to have to live with it.

The MUCH BIGGER risk to me is someone snatching my phone along with the clamp as I travel all over and some countries are not that safe. I wish there was some feature to completely lock the phone with the clamp while vlogging.

Wow most beautiful cinemetic gimbal🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

A very helpful comparison, thank you. I have the Osmo mobile 6 and one problem I have is when filming with the gimbal upside down to take ground level shots. You cannot press the record button and then turn the gimbal upside down because it records upside down - you have to turn the gimbal upside down and then press record. However, the controls are now all on the wrong side and hard to see and get at. Do you have any tips for filming in this mode? Is the Zhiyun better in this respect?

Smooth 5 has the ability to support larger, heavier phones (13 promax with moment lens+filters )and the ability to have more control outside of the application like POV. Also seems to me a more professional option especially for wider range of angle when shooting. I've used both gimbals and I go with smooth 5 plus I don't like to carry with me this magnetic clamp and the risk of loosing it.

Merci beaucoup Otto pour tes videos de qualité et bien détaillées

Thanks for your detailed video. It has been a while i am trying to figure out which gimbal should i get. However i have 2 questions i will b happy if you answer. I am not sure why they do not let us to have the phone camera setting itself. So we can have slowmo n 8k resolution. Is that possible to jst use the gimbal as stabilizer and not use the app? Secondly i want to know if we can use the built in extention rod in om6 when we have it set on the tripod and not on the move.

Perfect timing Otto! I have literally had most Zhiyun Gimbals, including the Smooth 2, 3, Q3, Q4 and 5. I've tried Aochuan, Hohem, Feiyutech, Power Vision S1, then switched to Pocket 2. Now trying to just pick one of these 2 (actually the Smooth 5S, but it's essentially the same as 5 with the extra built-in light) so... thanks for a quick run down of these side by side.

this is awesome! but, i wanna ask something, why my zhiyun smooth 5 isn't smooth as yours? did you stabilize it in the editing process?

and by the way, i have a good news, the zy cami app now can record 4k 60fps on android, my phone is (oppo reno 10x zoom) and it works fine.

According to you which gimbal for travel vlogging with iphone 14pro or max

Hello otto which is better hohem isteady x or hohem mobile plus? Thank you! Oh I don't really pay much attention to easiness to carry. Thank you!

I am new here on your channel
