Let me start by saying—this little gadget has made my shaky-handed videos look like they were shot by a pro. The first time I took it out for a spin was during my niece’s birthday party. Chaos? Absolutely. But the footage? Buttery smooth, thanks to that 3-axis stabilization. Even when I was dodging hyperactive kids and cake explosions, the Osmo Mobile 7P kept everything steady like a trusty sidekick.

The magnetic phone clamp is pure genius—no fumbling. Snap it on, and boom, the DJI Mimo app auto-launches (though heads-up Android users: you’ll need to grab the app directly from DJI’s site). I’ve used it with my chunky-cased iPhone 15 Pro, and while the motor got slightly warm after an hour of vlogging at the farmers’ market, it never faltered. The built-in tripod? Lifesaver for solo coffee-shop ‘aesthetic’ shots.

Here’s what blew me away: that multifunctional module. The mini LED light saved my dimly lit dinner videos (no more sad, grainy pasta close-ups), and native tracking locked onto my dog like he’s the star of a nature documentary. Downsides? After 3 hours of continuous use at a concert, my wrist did whisper ‘take a break.’ And yes, it’s pricier than your average gimbal—but when you factor in the 10-hour battery life (which even charged my dying phone mid-shoot), it’s basically paying itself off in creative freedom.

If you’re debating an upgrade from older models: do it for the tracking alone. My OM5 feels like ancient tech now. Pro tip? Pair it with DJI’s mic—your future viral reel will thank you.
