what's going on youtube today i'm going to be comparing both of these gimbals right here they're
both mobile gimbals i'm going to be comparing them using the iphone 13 pro max if you didn't already
know the iphone 13 and all of the other models that were released alongside it including the 13
pro max all have incredible camera capability one of the major upgrades on the iphone 13
and the pro max right here is the stabilization so they've added sensor shift and honestly i was able
to notice that right off the rip it looked really good things weren't as shaky as when i actually
shut off the phone handheld but personally i still prefer the stabilization from a gimbal usually
it's a no-brainer for me when i have to pick up tech especially if it's between an old tech
and a new tank the dji om4 which is the one i've got on my left side right here is an older tech
and a dji om5 is a newer tech when it comes to gimbals the biggest thing that anyone's looking
for is how stable it makes your footage so i went ahead and got both of these to compare
their stabilization to the iphone's in-body stabilization i wanted to see which one was
the best and if it was even worth it getting a gimbal to use for my videos before i go ahead
and dive into this i'll just let you guys know right off the bat that both of these gimbals
work great so now it's down to your budget or what features you're looking for in a gimbal
the first thing i'll talk about is the ease of setup both of these gimbals are extremely easy
to set up and that's due to dji's magnetic clamp system so this system right here is probably one
of the main reasons why i go for dji gimbals both gimbals come with the same magnetic clamp system
as you can see so both of them right here attached to your phone and then directly attached to the
gimbal like right there so it's pretty quick and it's pretty easy which is very important when
shooting with your phone i'm going to be using the gimbal heavily for short form content for social
media like instagram etc next thing i'll talk about quickly between both of these is the new
built-in extension rod so 215 millimeter extension rod that's going to make taking selfie videos and
selfie pictures extremely fun and that's just on the om5 so the newest version of the dji
osmo mobile but the older version the om4 does not have this function you can go ahead and
buy an extension rod and attach it to the base of the gimbal but honestly having it just right there
built into the gimbal all the time is huge at least for me it is comment down below if the
built-in extension rod in the dji om5 is enough to make you go ahead and pick up one of these or
upgrade from your om4 the next major upgrade to the om5 over the om4 is the weight so the
weight of the om-5 is 292 grams while the weight of the om4 is 390. that's almost 100 grams heavier
than the om5 so this is a lot more portable so if you're considering portability then you
certainly have to consider the om5 over the om4 both of these gimbals can hold the same
weight so about 230 grams plus minus 60 grams the fact remains that the om-5 weighs 100 grams less
than the om-4 but they still hold the same exact weight for phone so that's a plus for the om5
when it comes to portability both gimbals can be folded up for transportation but the om5 folds up
to a way smaller gimbal than the om4 so if you're thinking about transportation and you don't like
having too much on you or you prefer things to be extremely portable then you should be leaning
towards the om5 as opposed to the om4 the iphone 13 pro max weighs 238 grams also since the om5 is
the new attack between both of these gimbals it also has access to the latest firmware updates
and all the cool new features on the software end some of these features include active track 4.0
as opposed to active track 3.0 on the dji om4 if you don't know what active track is it basically
allows you to keep focus on one subject one person while moving the gimbal all over the place so the
gimbal will stay focused on that one person it's especially good for selfie videos or vlogging
content stuff where you have to keep the focus on yourself for example or you're moving all over the
place and all that active track 4.0 is supposed to have better responsiveness and be a better
overall tracking system than active track 3.0 so om5 definitely has better firmware and better
features on the software end than om4 another cool feature that you guys should check out if you do
pick up the om5 is the shot guides feature this is a completely new feature to the osmo mobile
it basically helps you in crafting an entire storyline using different gimbal moves that you
might not even be aware of the shot guys function is going to be huge for a lot of you guys that are
beginners to using a phone gimbal i brought the iphone 13 pro max and the dji om5 outdoors for
a quick test of the shot guides function it basically shows you a bunch of sequences and
shows you how you can use gimbal moves to create a vibe and this feature will be great for you guys
if you're a beginner even if you're an advanced shooter and you're looking for inspiration on
what kind of content to shoot you can use the shot guides function for the first recommended shot it
appears i'll be shooting a short side view clip to shoot this i need to use the selfie camera and
hold it out wide to my side while walking and looking straight ahead shotguides also gives
you a recommended duration for how long each shoot should be but that can be exceeded as you see fit
you also see a side by side comparison of your video and a tutorial clip for comparison for the
next clip in the sequence i'll be going with feet view this angle puts emphasis on recording feet
movement for a more cinematic feel according to shot guides it appears that all i have to do is
place the gimbal on the ground and walk past it in a natural way i'm gonna go ahead and shoot a trail
view next this angle allows you to capture the entire environment to create like a first-person
view while walking along a path it appears that all i have to do for this is hold the gimbal in
front of me as i walk using the rear view cameras finally i'm going for a back view shot this angle
requires help from a second person you want to hand over the gimbal to the second person as
they follow right behind recording you shot guys are extremely easy and a fun way to start creating
new projects using your iphone 13 pro max or any phone at all and a dji om5 i don't know if you
guys can tell but this is the final result of all of the individual clips we've just shot using shot
guides if you ask me i think this is a really cool feature i took both gimbals and the iphone 13 pro
max outside for a test i wanted to see how each one will handle stabilizing fast and shaky footage
so i decided to do this test running up and down a staircase as you can see the om4 and
the om5 are pretty much similar but the 13 pro max struggles to stabilize overly shaky
and extremely fast footage and that's why you want to consider a gimbal besides those major
differences there's some minor differences that i don't really think is going to matter much
when it comes to using both of these gimbals for example the buttons on the om5 have been
changed a few more buttons have been added and others have been moved to a different location
than they were on the om4 the power and the mode button on the om4 has been moved from the front
side of the hand grip to the side of the hand grip on the om5 that button on the om4 was moved
to make way for a new button so one that allows you to switch between vertical and horizontal mode
a lot quicker and switch from your rear cameras to your selfie cameras quickly from the gimbal hand
grip everything else basically remain the same when it comes to the buttons and the control panel
i'm talking about the joystick the record button all of those remain in the same spot and there's
still about four indicator lights on the om5 like there was on the om4 both gimbals do fold up
differently but they still fold up quite quickly doesn't matter that one is a little different than
the other one they fold up quite quickly on the software end most of the modes are still the same
from the om4 on the om5 so i'm talking clone me gesture control time lapses and all those cool
different modes right there to access and use all of these different modes you're going to
need to download the dji memo app so that app allows you to do different things record your
videos use the shot guides as well as control most of the functions of your phone camera
directly from the gimbal after running a few tests with both of these gimbals as well as the iphone
13 pro max i was able to come to the decision that the om5 is probably going to be the best
for me at least for what i want and what i'm looking for in a phone gimbal it has the selfie
stick the 250 millimeter built-in extension rod which to me is huge it opens up a lot of doors to
a lot more dynamic high angle and low angle shots another good thing that's pushed me towards the
om5 is the portability foldability as well as the size of this gimbal as opposed to the rm4 the om5
is almost 100 grams less than the om4 portability when it comes to run and gun shooting and stuff
like that is important to me and i'm going to be using the iphone 13 pro max for a lot of run and
gun shooting a lot of you know impromptu shooting random points where i just have to take a quick
shot when it comes to stabilization the om5 and om4 are awesome they work very well they work
pretty much the same at least from what i've been able to notice everything else on both of these
gimbals are not big enough to differentiate them at least not in my opinion the shot guys function
like i said is great if you're a beginner but it's not a make or break reason why you'd want to get
the om5 over the om4 but the other reasons that i mentioned are definitely good reasons to go for
the om5 over the om4 so go ahead and leave your choice between both of these gimbals down in the
comments section based on what you already have or what you're intending to pick and if you're
picking up the om5 i want to know which of these new features is going to be a reason for you to
pick it up if we can get this video to 1000 likes i'm gonna go ahead and do a review a follow-up
review with the om5 and the iphone 13 pro max say after a week or after a month showing you guys how
it holds up you know after a while of using it if you're looking for the best prices on the om4 and
om5 as well as the iphone 13 pro max make sure to check the links down in the description below
