I have old Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus phone which still works flawlessly with any app or environment. It is 2021 model with stock Android 12 (not upgradable OTA anymore). I was always planned to use a gimbal, but last year I finally tried. Started with Osmo Mobile 3. I really liked it, but it has two major flaws: 1. The grip was almost impossible to fit. I am using Otter case which makes the phone very wide. It is still (barely) within 84 mm spec of the Osmo 3, but the design of the grip makes it very hard to set, always touches the power button and if moved away - unbalances the gimbal. 2. The axis movement - I am not sure how's possible DJI as a company selling drones to design such a totally counter-intuitive axis joystick control! I am not a pilot, but have used many RC controllers and am an old gamer โ when you pull the rudder (joystick) โ you expect to get your nose up and vise versaโฆ well โ itโs the OPPOSITE! Same as horizontal controls. There were numerous threads with users begging DJI to correct the SW to include simple axis inversion, but all in vain for Osmo 3! Those were the reasons I sold it and decided to try Osmo Mobile 7 with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10 + Plus. Well โ well worth the switch! So far all is good: โ grip is very strong and the shape of jaws is much better, not overlapping the power button and at the same time very strong! - axis inversion โ yippee (!!!) - finally, I can actually control the gimble! - so far, all the functions, menus and features seem to work as intended on the gimbal and the phone - absolutely no delay or glitching in any mode, including 4K video. In short โ I am very satisfied with the product and its backward compatibility with old hardware and software! Good job, DJI!
