This is the no-compromise choice for serious mobile creators who want maximum convenience and battery life, and are willing to carry the extra weight for the built-in extension rod and lighting options.
What are the follow modes on the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P and how do they work?
The DJI Osmo Mobile 7P has PTF (Pan and tilt follow), PF (Pan follow), FPV (Pan, tilt, and roll follow), SpinShot, and Lock modes. In PTF, rotating the handle horizontally and swinging it back/forth makes the phone follow. PF follows horizontal rotation only. FPV adds vertical rotation follow. SpinShot includes all three plus joystick vertical rotation. Lock mode keeps the phone fixed regardless of handle movement.
Does the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P have a built-in tripod?
Yes, the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P has a built-in tripod suitable for stable, level surfaces in windless environments. In other conditions, it is recommended to attach the DJI OM Grip Tripod (sold separately) to the bottom of the gimbal. Only the Osmo Mobile 7P model includes a built-in extension rod.
Can I use the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P with an Apple Watch?
Yes, you can use DJI Mimo on an Apple Watch to view the camera feed, control the gimbal, and enable ActiveTrack remotely.
