The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 is a mobile stabilizer gimbal that ensures that you will get that perfect IG story and YT videos. With a tagline of ‘Share your stories’, it is a perfect tool to make that cinematic shoots with your smartphone. There are tons of orientation modes, the build quality is solid, and most importantly, it’s cheap. Here’s our full DJI Osmo Mobile 2 review in which we have shared the device from different aspects including some key highlighted features.

Pros
  • Affordable Price
  • Lighter in Weight
  • Tons of orientation modes
  • Dedicated mobile app
Cons
  • Non-replicable battery
  • No charging dock in the box

The DJI Osmo Series:

The DJI Osmo family has provided us with some remarkable gimbal stabilizers for a smartphone. The company has moved from making drone cameras to the handheld stabilizer. The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 is a cheaper advanced version of the previous-gen device. The motor and dynamics are perfect to shoot stable videos that are more pleasant than a professional camera. At a price tag of just $129, is a real bang of buck.

DJI Osmo Mobile 2 Design:

The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 is a 3-axis gimbal for maximum grip and stability. The product dimensions are 11.6 by 4.5 by 2.8 inches and weight around 0.8 pounds. It’s a portable device that is both comfortable and can be easily packed on your backpack. It features a 3.3 inches’ width clip to hold the phone. The clip perfectly contrasts with your smartphone and is suitable for all smartphone sizes.


With DJI Osmo Mobile 2 mounts, you can either shoot in portrait or landscape orientation mode. It is a first smartphone gimbal that is perfect for both your Instagram stories and YouTube vertical videos. In terms of connectivity, you have 2 ports. One is a micro-USB connector to charge the gimbal. The second is a USB-A connector used as a backup for the gimbal. The battery takes 3 hours to fully charge and lasts up to 15 hours. However, the actual timeframe depends on your usability.

If you use the device a lot and don’t care much about the orientation, the motor will keep running and adjusting the dynamics for your shoot. The mobile 2 batteries are not-replaceable so schedule your charging time accordingly.

DJI Osmo Mobile 2 App & Features:

The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 pair with your smartphone via Bluetooth connection and uses the proprietary DJI Go app to control all the features and orientation. Everything included in the Gimbal will be either operated via the physical button or the Go app. In terms of frame rate and video quality, the app hasn’t impressed us a lot.

Even if you have a flagship smartphone, it will only showcase what it’s supported. For example, the DJI app support 720p at 30fps, 1080p at 30/60fps, and 4k at 30 fps. If your smartphone supports more than the aforementioned fps settings, you can’t play with them. Maybe a firmware update in the future will fix this.

Battery Life:

In terms of battery, the device manages to rock a full day, even with full motor control. The exact battery capacity is not mentioned in the specs sheet, however, the battery manages to give 15+ hours of usage. It uses a micro-USB port to charge the device. There’s no power dock available in the package so you have to separately invest on it.

Compatibility:

In terms of compatibility, the device supports all major smartphones. In some cases, you might have to remove the phone case but mostly it supports the phone. We paired it with iPhone X Max and it worked perfectly. To use the DJI Go App, your iOS or Android smartphone should support Android 4.0 or above.

Price and Availability:

All the DJI products are easily available in most online stores. You can buy it from DJI Official site and Amazon. It is a fairly popular device that is available on other online stores. You can buy a DJI Osmo mobile 2 on amazon for $129.

Is it worth your purchase?

Because it is not a super big investment, you can easily afford it and carry around on your every trip.

For filmmakers and other professional artists, it is a perfect beginner’s level of investment. It packs some amazing specs and lasts for a full-fledged day. The DJI Osmo mobile 2
