The four modes from left to right are gimbal follow (suitable for shooting up and down and oblique mirror motion pictures), tilt lock (suitable for shooting panning and surround direction moving pictures), FPV mode (for simulating first-person perspective, capturing iconic objects, etc.) and swivel shooting (for push-pull and overhead shots).

215mm length extension rod

The front end of the extension rod can be adjusted 90 degrees
Starting from OM 5, DJI mobile phone gimbal has added the function of extension rod, and DJI Osmo Mobile 6 inherits this feature. The extension rod is telescopic and can be extended by 215mm. The damping of the extension rod is relatively tight, so even if a heavy mobile phone is connected to perform a large-scale operation, there is no need to worry about the problem of the extension rod sliding down and recovering by itself. The extension rod can be adjusted at a 90-degree angle, and we can have a wider range to choose from when taking selfies or shooting.

Extension rod allows for wider viewing angle of the front camera

In recent years, mobile phone extension rods have become very popular. The reason is that with the extension rod, the selfie camera is farther away from the user, so the range of things that can be stored is wider, and it is more suitable for selfie group photos or video creation. Therefore, DJI Osmo Mobile 6 continues this function, because users really need this function very much, and the application frequency of daily shooting is also very high.

Stability Performance: As Stable With Or Without Extension Rod

As an intelligent anti-shake mobile phone gimbal, the stability performance of DJI Osmo Mobile 6 must also be of great concern to users. Next, we will conduct a stability test. The test is divided into the stability performance of the normal state and the state of using the extension rod. .
DJI Osmo Mobile 6 uses three-axis stabilization technology, and the stabilization capability of the mobile phone gimbal is the same regardless of whether an extension rod is used or not. Since DJI’s control algorithm can perform real-time compensation according to the gimbal attitude, it can effectively control the screen shake. It can be seen from the video that the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 has a very good stability performance during our testing. Whether walking, running or rotating, the picture can be kept very stable, and users can also switch the gimbal mode to experience according to the difference in shooting and moving the lens.

Smart Follow 5.0: Turn Around and Dance

DJI Osmo Mobile 6 is equipped with the new Smart Follow 5.0 technology. The newly upgraded intelligent follow function can make the subject follow more stable and smooth, the following distance can be increased to 10 meters, and the subject will always remain in the C position of the screen during the shooting process.
It can be seen from the video that the new smart follow function has a better experience, not only the recognition is more accurate, but the effect of following is also very stable, always keeping the subject in the center of the screen. Especially when shooting children and pets, the advantages of intelligent following will be more obvious. In addition, since actions such as turning around and dancing can also be recognized and followed, the types of photography that can be taken by users have been expanded, and the scope of adaptation is wider.
The gesture control part is the same as the previous product. After the function is turned on, the DJI Mimo APP will prompt us what gesture to use. After the gesture is recognized, it will start taking pictures or recording videos, and it will automatically recognize the subject and then follow it intelligently.
When we turn on the selfie mode, the mobile phone gimbal will automatically recognize the face and automatically follow within the moving range of the gimbal. When using this function, the beauty mode will be turned on by default, and the ladies will like this function even more. This function is very suitable for recording selfie Vlog videos, Douyin videos, group photos, etc.

Other Feature Experience

1. Panoramic Shooting

Avatar Panorama
DJI Osmo Mobile 6 offers three panorama photo modes, 3×3, 240°, and avatar panorama. Among them, the avatar panorama was very popular on the Internet in the past few years, but due to the complexity of shooting, many users did not know it, but now it can be done automatically through the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 mobile phone gimbal. There will be notes and reminders for shooting in the APP. Users only need to stand in the designated position to cooperate with the shooting.
2. Dynamic Zoom

Dynamic zoom function interface
In commercial video shooting, there is a mirror movement effect called “Hitchcock” that has been well received and has been used in major film and television works. In DJI Osmo Mobile 6, this lens movement effect is named Dynamic Zoom. DJI considers the user intimately, so this mirror movement effect is completed by the mobile phone gimbal itself. The user only needs to choose whether the background is close or the background is far away, and then the gimbal will shoot according to the user’s choice and provide a finished film.
3. Still and motion time-lapse shooting
DJI Osmo Mobile 6 offers still time-lapse video and motion time-lapse video capabilities. Still time-lapse video is very simple, you can shoot with a fixed angle of view, or you can do track time-lapse shooting. In the trajectory time-lapse shooting, DJI presets the still delay, left-to-right, right-to-left and other trajectory shooting for the user, and can also be shot by the user-defined trajectory, so that the user’s video material will be very rich.
DJI Osmo Mobile 6 also has a motion time-lapse video function, that is, users can shoot time-lapse video while walking, and the effect is very good, very interesting, and very unique. Of course, not only walking, we can also shoot on vehicles such as cars and planes, and the effect is equally good.
4. Rotate Shooting

Rotation shooting effect (video converted to GIF presentation)
Rotary shooting first appeared on OM 3. On some push-pull lenses, we can use it with rotary shooting, which can create a better picture atmosphere. Due to the excellent stability, we can see that the picture is also very stable when using the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 for push-pull rotation shooting.
5. Story Mode
Everyone should be familiar with the Story mode. This is an old friend of the DJI mobile phone platform. Story mode is actually a short film mode preset by DJI. Generally, there will be several different mirror motion effects in a template. Users can shoot different subjects according to the prompts, and then the APP will automatically synthesize a video with a soundtrack and a theme. video, let you become a video master as a novice. This mode is very friendly for novices, and you can learn shooting skills and lens movement skills, as well as post-production color correction and soundtrack skills.
6. Interaction with the Smooth film APP
Although we can use the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 to shoot excellent video and photo footage, in order to truly shine, we need to process these footage into the final film. To process videos and photos, we need post-production, so the author here recommends the post-app “Smooth Film” developed by DJI. The “Chang Film” APP is a video editing application software officially launched by DJI. It is suitable for the user’s usage scenarios, and can support AI one-click filming, massive exclusive video templates, shooting inspiration teaching, etc.

Screenshots of Changpian APP function demonstration
In the DJI Mimo APP, we can jump to the Chang Film APP, and then we can see the photos and videos taken with the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 in the album of the Chang Film APP. There are many templates set up in the Changfilm APP. Users can directly apply the material to the template to make a film, or users can use their own creativity and use the editing function to process videos and photos, such as cropping, applying filters, toning, adding Subtitles and soundtracks and more.
