This Is The New Dji Om5 And This

is the coolest new feature so if I’m honest for a while I kind of thought. These sorts of gimbal tools were kind of useless that is until the smartphone video quality got like actually pretty good through computational photography and all this ai craziness that they’re doing to make the image look so much better that in turn has made tools like these much more valuable I would have killed to have this when I was younger filming skate videos that boy you remember filming skate videos back in the day Tv tapes capturing that for hours afterwards you literally had to like watch through the footage and find the stuff that you actually wanted. We’d always touch the lens to show that yeah we would literally mark the clips when you would actually land something good with with one of these, so you would know that there was a one there you had to catch hours of capturing imagine if we would have had this back in the day imagine as is often the case. Some of the features on the Om5 are really great like really nice and then others. I’d say are a little bit gimmicky.

Lets Start With The Things That I Like

for example, this iced coffee quite delicious. The gimbal is a nice design. It’s small it’s foldable. It’s actually a third lighter now so that’s going to be really easy to carry around and I like this little like magnetic clamp system so you can just put your phone on there slap it on you’re ready to go. Super easy Super fast and they actually have some different versions Now This one has a wait for it wait for it a light on it that’s pretty interesting.

So I Clearly Have Quite Of A Quite

a light setup here already let’s see what it looks like without the light. Oh you can actually change the brightness of the light. I mean if you’re out and about and it’s dark and you don’t have good light you don’t have a giant soft box the things that’s like six foot big this could be nice it’d be nice to have a little light on your your phone if you’re doing some vlogging like this but the best new thing by far is the extension rod. It’s just really handy having this like ability to get different kinds of shots and just to have a little bit more. I don’t even.

Know What You Would Call This Before

you’d have to get like you know really close to your subject here you gotta you know you can kind of I don’t know be lazier and get cool shots. I like it I haven’t seen this done before and I wouldn’t be surprised if we even start seeing it on some of the bigger gimbals who knows and then especially when you pair this with the the tracking system. The active track 4. 0 that’s the new one it’s even better. It’s just a really easy way to get some cool shots you just literally on your phone drag around an object like my brother and then I can do pretty much any movement and the gimbal just does all the tracking for me and I’m not having to like you know twist around as I’m moving around and it’s really hard takes.

Multiple Tries With The Active Track.

It’s literally like first try every time and now you have the ability to track up to three times zoom. I believe I’m not sure I I mean I don’t need to do that but maybe you need that and they’ve also made it faster. So it follows around faster, how what’s this they’re saying the speed of the track is up to five meters per second, which that’s pretty fast. Then let’s talk about the more gimmicky things Shock guides.

This Is A New Thing Um

it’s under the story part in the app and basically it’s kind of trying to like merge this tick tock world way of making videos straight on to the gimbal and app itself and so you can choose a template and then it’ll tell you how long of a clip you need to film so maybe three. Four or five clips and then it’ll plug those in put the song on do some gimbal movements and I I mean it’s it’s interesting, but I just can’t see people using it that much. I think where something like this would actually be good and useful is if you could upload a song and then it would analyze where the beats are and then you would just film clips and then just like fill in the blocks and you’d have this really cool edit in like no time at all and that that sounds like it would be really useful to me, but having these kind of generic templates that everybody would use the exact same template it. Just I I can’t see it being that useful to be honest on any any product that I’ve ever used. They have these template things I’ve never used them and maybe.

Im Wrong Maybe For Like A

really basic beginner user. It might be helpful, but I think it’d be just so much more handy if you could just upload any song into the app. It analyzes the beats and it’ll tell you okay you need to film 10 clips and it’ll fill out this section of the song and then it just exports and you’re ready to go that would be really helpful. Can you can you guys make that happen Dja. I think you guys can you guys can probably do it Also my second gripe is that the gimbal movement is actually quite limited so in terms of tilt you can’t go too far up or down that’s the furthest I can go up and that’s the furthest I can go down.

• flip gimbal film pretty gimbals
• footage stuff actually wanted
• filming skate videos day
• gimbal tools kind useless smartphone
• dji om5 coolest new feature

So Theres Not A Lot Of Room For

like the gimbal movement now I can pull. it out a little bit and you can actually tilt this part so that’s that’s nice but I kind of just wish that the gimbal itself would be able to tilt the camera a little bit more up or down and there therefore, you’d have more options in terms of movement, especially when we were rollerblading. I think we were hitting that like edge pretty often so yeah. I think that’s that’s a bit of a downside and also now we were we were pushing it to the edge rollerblading and like the wind and the movement it doesn’t seem like the gimbal is crazy strong. I feel like we were getting some shake.

Even With This Iphone 12 Pro So

it’s not a max it’s not the biggest phone it’s it’s pretty beefy but it’s not the biggest phone um so yeah. I feel like the gimbal motors especially. When you’re you know extending it and then you’re tilting this part. I feel like the gimbal Motors were a little bit strained with what we were doing now. If you’re just walking around town and kind of filming some cool clips on your travels or something like that.

I Think Youre Probably Gonna Be

just fine, but if you’re trying to do extreme sports that might be pushing it a little bit. One thing that really bothers me about the gimbal is that it doesn’t actually spin all the way around it only goes about halfway, which is quite a bit, but I like to film on the ultra-wide camera. That is like my favorite camera. I feel like you can just mix that in with all sorts of footage and people won’t even realize but now I can’t do that unless I physically actually take off the. phone and flip it around so I can film myself otherwise you just have to use the selfie camera and that to me is is a bit of a bummer.

I Feel Like You Should Be Able To

just flip around the gimbal and then film yourself pretty much all the gimbals nowadays do that I feel like they should be able to do that also now this next one I don’t know if this is a gimmick just because I’m me and then for some people. This is like super useful, but let me actually do a screen recording for you guys here so. This app has the ability to change the way that I look you can literally turn this filter on and you can choose to slim down your face. You can choose to smooth your skin. Let’s just put them all on you can choose to lighten your skin enlarge your eyes brighten.

• footage
• clips
• videos
• capturing
• camera

I Guess Mo Oh, Im Not

sure what the brighton is doing make my cheeks Rosier There’s literally okay let’s see this is the after how do I okay This is the after before after before UK. I don’t know it just seems really ridiculous to me Maybe there’s maybe there’s people that really would enjoy this kind of thing, but I don’t know. I think that’s just a little too over the top to me that’s definitely a gimmick but again maybe for some people that’s a really helpful thing. Oh man that’s ridiculous double let’s see what you look with with the with that here you hold it Oh there we go Oh all of a sudden that’s that’s like that’s like you when you’re a teenager everything that makes you. Look like you’re a teenager, how do you feel about that that bro well.

I Guess Im Getting Oldernk] So Yeah

for me that’s a little bit over the top. The hyperlapse and time Lapse. I feel like those could go either way They can be really handy at times. Probably the time lapse more than the hyperlapse.

The Time Lapse Is Super Easy Essentially

you can just put like an in and out point. So you can have it pointing that way and then it’ll slowly point to this direction. So you can do really cool time lapses really easily it’s like so crazy how it how easy it is and how hard it used to be to do something like that um so that can be really cool except for the fact that there’s no motion blur on the time-lapse. I feel like if the time-lapse had.

Blur Then It Would Be Just

like a really really cool feature without the motion Blur it’s like a it’s like a pretty cool feature the hyperlapse um again. I feel like it could be a really cool feature, but it is a little bit harder to use than you think to get a really cool hyperlapse effect you have to move really slowly and then if you’re walking it’s kind of going up and down so it’s a little bit trickier maybe if you’re on like a boat or a car or something one wheel and you can just like ride around you can get some really cool shots so I feel like those can go either way. They can be really great features or they can be kind of gimmicky. The dolly zoom thing that that’s definitely a gimmick.

Youre Youre Gonna Maybe Do It Once

and then. You’re never gonna do it again Do not buy this for just that feature now before we get to the final thoughts. I just want to say a thank you to the incredible people at epidemic sound for sponsoring this video and if you stick around it’ll be a nice little bonus for you whether you’re a content creator a freelancer any.
