DJI Osmo Mobile 6 Gimbal Stabilizer

I am an instagram content creator, with no previous knowledge of phone stabilizers or gimbals. So when I stumbled upon videos of these interesting gadgets, I was sold! Bought this with the main goal of achieving smooth and steady shots. In the past, my walking POV videos would always turn out shaky. With the DJ OSMO 6 gimbal, my problem was solved! Let's talk about my first impressions and the initial hurdles I faced: -Opening and closing the gimbal from its lock position was initially quite challenging. I read the instructions diligently, but it didn't provide a clear explanation. The mechanism felt tight, and I was worried about damaging the product if I forced it open. Thankfully, YouTube tutorials came to the rescue, providing step-by-step guidance on how to properly open/close it. Once I mastered it, the gimbal became much more user-friendly. -Another thing that was quite confusing at first, was the joystick’s movement and speed… when you make it go left, the gadget would go right and vice versa. And the panning speed was way too fast for my liking. (I prefer slower panning movements.) Again, YouTube tutorials came to the rescue, as I learned that you could change the joystick direction and speed in settings. -In my opinion, this gadget has a learning curve, but after playing with it a few times, handling it becomes second nature. Now let’s move onto the features I absolutely love about the DJ Osmo 6: -Smoother/Steadier Filming (especially while walking, or during movement shots) -Active Track: I’m obsessed with this feature. As someone who often shoots videos alone, this feature is a lifesaver. It tracks and follows you quite accurately, and if I temporarily get too far out of its detection range, it quickly finds me again right when I am back in its radar. -Compatible w/ standard tripods: You can screw the gimbal onto any standard tripod. It already comes with a leg attachment and (a “selfie stick” extension) which allows you to stand it up on the a table or on the floor. But if you're out in nature and want to shoot at eye level, the fact that it connects to a tripod is game-changing. It makes you so self reliant as a content creator. Gone are the days when I would have to beg family members to take my pictures or videos. 
 -Gesture Control: This is another winning feature for me. By simply raising my hand and doing a peace sign, the gimbal initiates recording or photo capture. By raising my hand and giving a stop sign, it will stop. It is very convenient as I no longer have to press record and then run to the frame. -Battery Life: I’m usually out for 3-4 hours when shooting content, and its battery life is more than enough for my needs. In just two weeks of using the DJ OSMO 6 gimbal, I can confidently say that it has been worth every penny. It is now an essential tool that I cannot live without in my content creator journey. Can't wait to explore more of its capabilities, and if I discover anything else noteworthy, I'll certainly update my review . Before I sign off, I must stress enough that YouTube tutorials are very valuable and necessary for this product. They really help with overcoming any challenges that the package instructions fail to expound on.
