DJI Osmo Mobile 7 review: entry-level gimbal punches well above its weight
There are two versions of the seventh iteration of DJI's hugely popular smartphone gimbal Osmo Mobile. I reviewed the simpler and lighter DJI Osmo Mobile 7 which costs just €99 and offers effective and reliable stabilisation along with accurate subject tracking from the firm's latest ActiveTrack 7.0 software when using the DJI Mimo app. While many smartphone gimbals can be geared toward enthusiasts or semi-pro users, DJI OM7 is designed to be a true entry-level option but one that doesn't feel basic. It offers heaps of functionality and capability to enable beginners to elevate their mobile video shooting game. The main difference with the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P is the lack of an extension rod with added tilt. There is also no Multifunctional Module but you can buy this for DJI OM7 as an optional accessory.

It has three-axis stabilisation and a built-in tripod. It feels robust in the hand and when unfolding or folding. You attach your phone using the included magnetic metal clamp. It's a secure grip. I've been using these gimbals for years and no phone has ever fallen out. The gimbal can support a smartphone up to 300g in weight. Osmo Mobile 7 employs Quick Launch so it automatically powers on when you unfold the arm in the direction of the control panel. And unlike its predecessor, when powering down there is no need to remove the magnetic clamp. The buttons and joystick have a reassuring tactile feel, while the helpful new small screen displays Bluetooth status, battery level and shooting modes. If this is your first DJI gimbal purchase, you may need to view some of the firm's excellent in-app tutorials but for everyone else the controls are as easy and intuitive to operate as you'd expect. What's in the Osmo Mobile 7 box (Image: DJI) The DJI Mimo app makes capturing great footage with clever effects simple and fun, even if you have only limited experience making videos. You don't need the app to operate the gimbal, incidentally, but you won't get the full range of shooting functionality without it. Pairing your phone is quick and easy and you are ready to shoot almost instantly. Some of the features to check out are automated shooting modes such as dynamic zoom and Parents & Kids. Sleep mode is activated by tapping the M button three times and once enabled it means you can wake the device with any button press for instant video capture. ActiveTrack 7.0 is fast, intelligent and accurate, locking on to subjects quickly even when they are far away, move quickly or are briefly obstructed and focussing rarely loses its subject. Tracking is consistently smooth and stable, whatever the shooting mode. DJI's one-tap editing feature is as simple as selecting your clips and choosing a recommended template. The app will then automatically analyse and produce a slickly edited video with transitions, text overlay and music within minutes. This is ideal for beginners and enables quick and casual content sharing. DJI Osmo Mobile 7 other features The gimbal enables you to take selfie footage using your phone's superior rear cameras (Image: DJI) Battery life on the Osmo Mobile 7 is rated at 10 hours. The unit comes bundled with a charging cable so you can give it a quick power boost from your phone if required. The unit fully recharges in about 2.5 hours with a 10W USB-C charger. The built-in tripod has a metal hinge at the joint that means you should not have to worry about its durability. I also tested the multifunction module accessory that can be purchased separately for Osmo Mobile 7 as part of the DJI OM 7 Series Tracking Kit. It enables even more smart capture features such as intelligent tracking in third-party apps and it includes automatic long-range DJI Mic Mini reception and a useful built-in fill light. The fill light offers a brightness of 40 lux (at 0.6 metres) and colour temperatures between 2,500K and 6,000K. I'm going to review the DJI Mic Mini separately as it's such a fantastic piece of kit. DJI Osmo Mobile 7 verdict Even without using the latest DJI microphone and the Tracking Kit, DJI Osmo Mobile 7 is an easy to recommend tool that offers plenty of tricks to both pro videographers and casual users like me who just want to enhance their video footage without having to think about it too much. It delivers plenty of bang for your buck in terms of features and ease of use. DJI Osmo Mobile 7 pr icing and availability DJI Osmo Mobile 7 costs €99 from DJI. DJI OM 7 Series Tracking Kit costs €49. DJI Osmo Mobile 7P costs €159 (and includes extendable rod, built-in multifunction module and handy side wheel to control dial for zoom, focus and the fill light).
