DJI Mimo

I bought my Dji OM 6 few days ago, and to be honest I was disappointed. I had a lot of DJI drones, Mavic, Phantom and even the Inspire series and I still use them. Apps made for them are really good with lots of different settings and features. I bought the OM 6 to use it with my 15 Pro Max, only to find that the Apple ProRes LOG is not supported by the app. I know I could use it with default camera app but then I lose the ActiveTrack function which is really useful since I film myself. Thankfully in this update, we have Apple Watch support so the gimbal can be controlled by the watch, but there’s a lot more functions that are still needed. I understand that the gimbal is made to be esay to use for everyone but I would like to have some sort of “Pro” mode in the app, where I can fine tune gimbal movement like I can on the drones, also fine tune the tracking movement… And please, add Apple ProRes LOG support, I’m sure that I’m not the only one that wants this. The Apple Watch feature is very good, keep up the good work!

They advertise that the DJI OM4 can track pets with active track 3.0. That’s a lie. All the active track will do is actively loose your subject. The dog can walk around, towards you or past you. The camera with twitch around quickly instead of get a steady follow and often just loose the subject pretty much every time. Doesn’t matter if the gimbal is being held or on a tripod and stationary. If your dog is sitting still and looking around the room the gimbal will twitch the camera back and forth so you won’t get a steady shot. I’ve set the gimbal on a table with the tripod and it still bounces around. Worse yet, if you try to go to the forum and ask for help you can’t even post until you “earn points”! This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Eventually I was able to contact customer support to ask for help after digging around their website for ever because they don’t make it easy to contact anyone or ask any questions in a timely manner. I had already made sure the firmware was up to date and did a configuration. The advice of the support team was to return the product and get a new one because it was faulty. So I did. This one has the SAME ISSUE! I don’t know if it’s a bug, or a mechanical failure on the device. Either way, I’ll be returning it today and never buying any product from this company ever again.

I really love the DJI OM 4, it does its job really well for what a gimbal should do. However, if you want to use any of the "cool" gimbal features, you need to use this app. Don't get me wrong, most of these features work well, but I found the app to be a bit limiting. For starters, EIS is disabled when recording 4k 60 FPS with the MIMO app, so the video ends up not as smooth as using the native camera app+the gimbal. However, you do lose features only possible through the mimo app, like active track. This brings me to my next issue, the active track. It works really well, but doesn't allow you to tweak any characteristics of the auto track. I would like to use this feature to record my workouts/skatebord videos from a tripod, but the active track is just a bit too sensitive and I wish we could lock the tilt while using active track. I noticed even if I set the gimbal to tilt locked mode, active track overrides that setting. I will still use the product for other things, but I'd use it so much more if we could have some more expansive customization. The software and hardware are more than capable.
