Now the Osmo stabilizer can track moving objects in any application, making it the category leader again.
Thanks to the new tracking module, the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P is the best small and foldable smartphone gimbal for most users. DJI’s ability to track moving objects with any camera app on both iPhone and Android, combined with comfortable ergonomics, stylish design and affordable price, makes it a very smart choice. If you’re a phone vlogger and want smooth, stable video with as little effort as possible, the Osmo Mobile 7P is a great choice.
DJI Osmo Mobile 7 vs Osmo Mobile 7P – what’s the difference?
DJI is offering two new models – the Osmo Mobile 7 and Osmo Mobile 7P.
🔹 DJI Osmo Mobile 7 is a more affordable version that offers smooth stabilisation and ActiveTrack 7.0 tracking, but it only works in the DJI Mimo app. This means that if you want to use tracking on TikTok, Instagram or your phone camera, it’s not possible.
🔹 The DJI Osmo Mobile 7P includes an advanced tracking module that allows you to track subjects on any app – TikTok, Instagram, Zoom and more. In addition, it has a Multi-function module that also adds LED fill light and gesture recognition.
If you just want stable shots and the capabilities of the DJI Mimo app, the Osmo Mobile 7 is a great and more affordable choice. If, on the other hand, you want complete freedom to track subjects in any app, the Osmo Mobile 7P is definitely worth the investment.
What does the DJI OM 7 Series Tracking Kit do and why do I need it?
The DJI OM 7 Series Tracking Kit is an accessory that enhances the tracking capabilities of the Osmo Mobile 7P by adding additional functionality for tracking in any application. The main part of this kit is the Multifunctional Module which includes:
✔ Built-in camera tracking module – allows you to also track subjects in apps such as TikTok, Instagram, Zoom and phone camera without having to use only the DJI Mimo app. This means the camera can track movement directly in the app you’re using, regardless of phone software limitations.
✔ Gesture detection function – you can start and stop video recording, tracking or change framing with a swipe. This is useful for vloggers who film alone, as there’s no need to press physical buttons.
✔ LED fill light – lighting with four different brightness levels and four different colour temperatures improves video quality in low-light or indoor environments.
✔ DJI Mic Mini Compatibility – Allows the gimbal to wirelessly pair with the DJI Mic Mini microphone system for better sound for vlogging.
Is a DJI OM 7 Series Tracking Kit necessary?
- If you want to use tracking in applications other than DJI Mimo, then yes, the Tracking Kit is a must. Without it, tracking will only work in the DJI app.
- If you often film in low light or indoors, LED fill light is a great help, providing better light balance and quality.
- If you’re vlogging or filming alone, gesture tracking comes in handy because you can control your filming without physical buttons.
- If you’re using the DJI Mic Mini system, the Tracking Kit provides a wireless audio connection that makes recording easier.
If you use the gimbal primarily with the DJI Mimo app and don’t need to use tracking in other apps, the Tracking Kit may not be necessary.
