Osmo Mobile 3 | How to Balance the Gimbal

So I spent already an hour trying to balance it and nothing
Can anyone actually explain what to do
Cz it’s seems not possible 😢

Is it’s balanced horizontally it’s don’t vertically 😢😅

Im trying to balance my gimbal but the problem with my DJI om 4 se is that the motor isnt working properly to hold my phone up balanced. (Bought it brand new, please fix this DJI)...

When will you release an update to correct the Unbalance issue?
I, as well as many others have been complaining for months that the horizontal balance is not level. It's always slight off the horizontal plane I efuse to accept that this Known Issue is not being addressed.

Great

Does anyone know if you can use this tripod to film downward? So for example, working shots of what i'm doing on my desk? thanks

can kindly make an OM 5 gimbal calibration and Gimbal balancing video too?

Not enough information!

Please I need your help,,i really hope to answer me because i cant find a solution... I just bought Osmo 2 and I already have s10+ Samsung...so i balance my phone in gimbal perfectly as you said but my problem is this...when i try with the joystick to turn the gimbal left or right it doesn't do a horizontal flat move but it does something like a wave movement and lose completely the flat horizontial move that normally should do,,i am so disappointed 😭😭

iPhone 11 wide angle camera shows gimbal arm when balanced any solution for this ?

I just received mine today. Is it compatible with iphone 12 pro max? Some says not. Thanks

For nearly 2 hours I’m trying to balance my Iphone 11 and whatever I do the screen faces down. I’ve removed the case and still doesn’t work. I have a protective glass on the screen - can it be the issue? If yes, then I’ll return the gimbal, because it is useless.

The world’s most rushed tutorial, almost as if trying to hide things. It makes it seem easy but in reality the unfolding and calibrating of the combo is anything but. I have my Osmo X3 (non mobile) away because the fan noise was excruciating. I hoped the Mobile version would be better. Note to DJI: you make things look fancy and easy but they’re not.

Hello, I wanted to ask a question, I have bought an osmo mobile 3 for about 5 days, I have been testing it and there is a function that it does not perform, and that is to block the movement with the back button, leaving it pressed, the phone rotates everywhere and does not is fixed, is this a hardware or software failure?

Anyone got left drifting?

This not helpful phone either looks at floor or up

I still can't balance it. The power button on the phone is in the middle so the phone is off to one side and the gimbal just leans to one side.

Most useless instruction video, ever! The whole thing is going back to Amazon tomorrow.

If you have iPhone 11 pro max this won’t work at all.
It worked on smaller devices
Regretted buying it

can we balance gimbal without tripod...?

any way to reset the balance ?

Aw ang astig nman nyan 😮

Typical crap manufacturers instructions.

mi osmo mobile 3 se desbalancea a cada rato, siempre está inclinado hacia abajo (tilt) y se calienta el motor. Necesito devolverlo, no funciona según lo promocionado en sus videos. Gracias.

Huh?

Mine keeps pointing downwards

So if you were lost like me an almost returned it after 15 minutes... I calibrate best I could while it was off... when I synced it to my phone it was fine and was balanced with controls to adjust if need be.

Just bought one of these brand new and it won't work, I've got a yellow blinking light and its failing to update firmware. I've tried 3 different phones and it's the same people everytime no movement or response ect.

IS DJI paying attention to these comments? Why bother posting this (useless) "instruction" if you have no interest in your user's issues actually using it. I have the device standing here on its tripod in the same opening position as the video.

"rotate the phone holder keeping the dji logo on the phone holder facing forwards." WTF? The video shows the logo facing ME, not forwards. - But the craziness does not stop there.

I cannot rotate anything to any position so as to show the logo RIGHT SIDE UP. The stops prevent that. I am unable to reproduce what appears to be a simple rotation of the device as the video shows. What is this video not showing or not saying that allows the demo to do that?

So does the gimbal have to be on for this?

I ordered this to make my workflow easy but if it is going to take me several minutes to calibrate it I will probably miss the shot by the time I get this set up.

Hi. I am not able to balance my iPhone 11 with its apple clear case on, and it would always end up iPhone facing down. However, the iPhone balance easily after removing the case. This is very strange and I want to know what caused it.

This is what worked for me. I had to take the case off of my phone. It was impossible with it. The grip adjustments that hold the phone need to be adjusted properly to get it to tilt correctly facing you.

I spent hours watching this tutorial and others, unable to balance my iPhone 10 in an Otter case. The reviews I read said the Osmo Mobile 3 can be used with a case. (A major requirement for this purchase.) When I removed the case, balancing was easy. I am petrified to remove the case because I drop the phone constantly. I am sure even removing my phone in and out of its case spells disaster with my fumble fingers. I am disappointed that adjusting the balance before turning on this device is impossible with my Otter case.

With the phone is its case & positioned best I can, when I turn on the Osmo, the phone does go into a balanced position. However, soon the zoom doesn't function correctly and other various things can go wacky, and I am constantly having to re-center my phone. This greatly limits the Osmo's use. The only advantage for me is the elimination of camera jiggle. Just a straight video with restricted camera movement seems to be the least frustrating use (unless I remove the case).

Since this tutorial doesn't mention phones in cases, I hope this has helped some of you.

BEST DEMONSTRATION I'VE SEEN , MY COMPLIMENTS THANKS

I still have NO clue. So frustrating. Too fast. Photos and narrative would be better. DO OVER!

Been balancing for hours now yet it’s still losing its balance it’s makes me frustrated

What if you don’t have a tripod like you do bro I got the one with no tripod so I can’t even get my gimbal to go the the left to even try to balance it

There is a screw on the side for a counter balance. Which is the best one to get for an iPhone 8? I know it's only really needed for larger phones, but the iPhone 8 appears off centre when avoiding clamping against the iPhone's volume buttons. And it would be nice to prevent stress on the motors and battery.

Mine came with the camera holding bracket installed backwards - DJI logo upside down and backwards, arrow for the camera pointing to the right while the video keeps saying it must be on the left. Didn't succeed in balancing, giving up and getting an RMA.

My Osmo keeps losing balance or won't autobalance after doing these steps.

does it have to be balanced every single time when it is used (phone reattached)?

I've watched this video at least 12 times. When the phone is 'balanced' horizontally it is tilted toward the desk. When rotate to the vertical position, the adjustment made to the back of the arm does not hold. What's the secret? Serious been working on balance for nearly 2 and 1/2 hours.

My phone is balanced but when I let go the phone falls towards me

Great products, horrible videos. Hire someone new to lead your instructional team.

My Osmo 3 does not work, imbalances immediately, the stabilization motor trips and overheats. New object and repair is not activated. Bad purchase.

If it were only that simple. I show balanced, all my stuff is slightly tilted. This is probably the most important part of set up and you go through it in 1 minute, this should be your longest video. Thus far it has prevented me from using the gimbal at all. Certainly you could make this step reflect the real task. It AINT as SIMPLE AS YOU MAKE IT SEEM to be

Impossible to balance! No proper instructions for anything else! How does anyone work this thing?!
