The DJI OM 4’s folding design makes it portable. On a full charge, the DJI OM 4 offers 15-hour battery life and can also be used as a portable battery charger if need be. Using upgraded motors, it can now support a heavier weight than its predecessors.

“As the DJI OM smartphone stabilizers have evolved over the years, every iteration has made it easier for anyone to add rock-solid stabilization to their photos and videos. With its new magnetic attachment and folding design, the DJI OM 4 again goes farther so anyone, no matter their experience with gimbals, can pick it up and make content that pulls in the viewer,” said Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Manager at DJI. “As people around the globe now rely on their smartphones to navigate the new work-from-home world, stay connected with loved ones and showcase their lives, the DJI OM 4 is our phone’s companion we need to make capturing footage fun, smooth and magnetic.”

The DJI OM 4 and the DJI Mimo app work together, with pre-programmed shooting modes and professional-grade features:

  • ActiveTrack 3.0: Select a subject for the DJI OM 4 to automatically track and let the gimbal do the work for you. Newly updated, the mode features improved distinction between subjects such as adults, children, and pets.
  • Gesture Control: Easily start and stop video recording or take photos by using hand gestures to control the DJI OM 4.
  • Pre-programmed Movements and Modes: Take advantage of unique gimbal movements and high-grade image modes that will make the footage look like it was shot by a professional:
    – DynamicZoom: A visually appealing cinematic look, the DJI OM 4 automatically adjusts the zoom function to create the dramatic background shift made popular by Alfred Hitchcock. 
    – Timelapse, Motionlapse, Hyperlapse: Show the passing of time in a sped-up form using TimeLapse; Motionlapse, which adds set movement points for the gimbal; or HyperLapse to physically move with the gimbal. All three modes use Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) technology as well as the 3-axis gimbal for an added level of smoothness. Easily share these creative videos on social media for the world to enjoy.
    – Slow-motion: Slow down the world around you in stunning detail with the Slow-motion feature.
    – Sport Mode: The DJI OM 4 will respond and follow subjects and movements faster to add a level of action to the scene.
    – Panoramas: Choose from three creative panorama options to capture a wider perspective including 3X3 panorama, 240°panorama and a new “CloneMe” panorama which allows the user to add multiple versions of a person or subject into one shot for a unique and creative effect. 
    – Spin Shot Gimbal Movement: Activated in the DJI Mimo app and using the joystick, the gimbal will rotate the phone to give a spinning effect.
    – Story Mode Templates: Choose from one of the preset templates to add a creative spin to your content. The DJI OM 4 uses preset movements, music and color palates for quick videos perfect for sharing on social media.
