Ahoj! This is Zdenka. Filmic pro just released a new update with a great
news for DJI Osmo Mobile series of gimbals... actually for the users of those
gimbals. From now on you can connect any DJI
Osmo Mobile gimbal with Filmic Pro. The question is, what do we get,
how can we use it, what can we do to get the
best out of those two apps DJI Mimo and Filmic pro. And for the new faces,
welcome. My name is Zdenka Darula. If you want to learn

The kit I'm going to be using in today's video is obviously the gimbal DJI OM4,
then Iphone 11 Pro, variable nd filter, moon dog lab filter attachment and then
counterweights. But don't worry, everything I'm using
in my videos is always listed below the video in a video description
in case you want to check that out. So that is my setup for today.
So what do we get in Filmic Pro and how can we use it with a DJI gimbal?
Let's run that through first. Make sure your bluetooth is enabled. Open up
Filmic Pro, go to settings, hardware and here you will see DJI Osmo
mobile. Make sure this one is enabled and you should be able
to go. My current settings in Filmic Pro are... resolution is 4k and I selected filmic
extreme. Frame rate is set to 24 frames
per second and playback is set to 24 frames per second as well.
And I do also have my white balance locked and I'm filming
a natural color profile for those wondering.
So, how do we use the buttons with Filmic pro? Well, the record button here on your
gimbal will start recording and end recording.
Zoom button will get you through four different modes. I'm finding that
you can press zoom button up or down, it works the same way, so
I will be just pressing it down. Mode one is called
pan and tilt mode. Here you can move phone up and down and left and right
with the joystick even if you have tilt lock mode on your
gimbal setup. You can move the smartphone up and down.
Exposure and focus will be automatically locked
but you can unlock them by tapping on the screen.
Let's press the zoom button one more time to get to mode
2. Here you can do a lot more with joystick button.
When you go up and down you will be actually zooming
in and zooming out. To unlock and lock exposure
push joystick to the left. To unlock and lock the focus push the joystick
to the right. Let's get to mode 3 by pushing the zoom button one more time.
Now we are in center weight auto mode. This is
recommended for quick filming or vlogging as you can quickly lock the
exposure or focus. And the same thing here. If you push the
joystick left you will unlock and lock exposure. If you push the
joystick right you will unlock and lock focus.
And if you'll push the joystick up, you are going to zoom in
and if you are going to push the joystick down you are going to zoom out.
So let's push the zoom button one last time to get to
mode 4. and here we can shoot fully in manual mode.
What I'm going to do here is lock the shutter speed.
Since I'm filming in 24 frames per second and obviously I do have to double
the shutter speed, so I'm going to go with 1/48th
of a second and tap to lock. Now that is locked, I will bring
the ISO down as much as I can. You can change the ISO by pushing the
joystick left or right and now that my ISO is all the way down
and it's still bright, I'm going to use the variable nd filter and turn it down
to make it properly exposed. You can turn on the A button on the
screen which is live analytics to show you zebra pattern if you like. If
you push joystick up or down here is where you can play with the
focus. You can find where you want the focus to be or pull the focus.
As I call it this is the playground area. And to quickly get to the mode one which
is a tilt and pan mode, you can just press the trigger
button one time. And if you press it two times, it will
re-center the gimbal. So this is the integration on how you
can use those gimbal buttons to operate,
to run through Filmic Pro. Now, what you cannot do, what you cannot do is change
the gimbal modes in Filmic Pro. Now I'm talking about follow mode, tilt lock mode,
sports mode, FPV and spin shot. What do you have to do
instead, you have to go back to DJI Mimo, change the
gimbal mode there and then go back to Filmic Pro.
The good news is that once you change the mode in DJI Mimo,
you can actually use it in Filmic Pro. You can also use it in native camera
app but again if you want to go for example back to fpv,
you have to go back again to DJI Mimo to do all that.
So it is not so straightforward, it's not so easy to use. You have to
go between those two apps back and forth to be able to change
the modes on a gimbal but making it compatible with DJI gimbal,
I mean making Filmic Pro compatible with DJI gimbals
is huge. It will bring a lot more possibilities you cannot actually do
with DJI Mimo. For example for Android users, this is a
huge news because as we know in DJI Mimo you cannot film in 24 frames per second.
You're not gonna get any slow motion and you can not shoot in manual mode.
So now Android users with the help of Filmic Pro
you can do just all that. I still wish though I could change the modes of the
gimbal with the push of the buttons but I can't. But I'm sure
that each user will make the most out of both apps and they will find a way how
they can make it work. I've got one more bad news though and
that is if I want to use the spin shot. Now, I already got out of the DJI Mimo.
I already have the spin shot set up on this gimbal so if I'm gonna press
with the joystick left, the phone is gonna go this way and if
I'm gonna press right, then the phone is gonna go this way.
And I can film like this in native camera app but
what will happen in Filmic Pro.... Let's go to Filmic Pro.
The only mode which allows me to use the spin shot would be
the mode 1. which is tilt pan mode. I can truly spin
there.
Unfortunately in the other modes and especially in the last mode 4
where I can do the beautiful focus pull I cannot do spin shot....
bummer.... so that is the only limitation.
Still though, Android users gained so much. They can now film in 24 frames
per second, they can now film in slow motion
with DJI Osmo mobile gimbal with the help of Filmic Pro. So now you
can make a choice if you want to film in Filmic Pro
or if you want to film in DJI Mimo but you have to be very careful...
especially when it comes to frame rates. You don't want to mix footage
with 24 frames per second and 30 frames per second. That would be
a disaster. And by the way, for those interested to learn about the frame
rates and how to shoot in manual mode, I'm gonna be linking few videos below
this video in the video description so you can check that out
just for those interested. Also, if you're going to be mixing footage from Filmic
Pro and from DJI Mimo, you want to be also
careful so you are not going to get different
colors and I mean, if you're going to be locking the white balance in Filmic Pro
and also gonna be filming in DJI Mimo.
I'm finding that the footage looks slightly different
from both apps, so you might want to get that
as close as possible because then it will be much easier for you to edit it
in a post. Hit the thumbs up if you found this
