Any smartphone up to 3.3 inches wide can be placed in the phone holder of Osmo Mobile 6. In addition, the improved magnetic phone bracket automatically detects your phone and aligns it with the bracket.

After connecting your phone, you can use the following functions: Dynamic Zoom (for stretching and compression effects), ActiveTrack 6.0 (automatically tracks objects), Sport (for faster movements), Time-Lapse and Hyperlapse (for playing with time and space ) and panorama modes. With the DJI Mimo app, you can control both your gimbal and your phone, and connect your Apple Watch to use it as a remote control.

Osmo Mobile 6 has a built-in battery that can work for about 6.4 hours after 1.5 hours of charging with the included USB-C cable. When not in use, the Osmo Mobile 6 comes with a handy bag for easy storage and transport.
