DJI Osmo Mobile 3 key features…

• Foldable Design: It takes just one step to fold or unfold Osmo Mobile 3. Osmo Mobile 3 can also be folded without removing the phone to save set-up time.
  
• Compact Size: 157×130×46 mm (folded); 286×126×98 mm (unfolded)
  
• Reduced Weight: 405 g (Osmo Mobile 2 weighs 485 g)
  
• New Gimbal Design: Unlike Osmo Mobile 2, the charging port and headphone jack of the mobile phone are no longer blocked, so it’s easier to use the microphone or charge the phone while using Osmo Mobile 3. Additionally, the angle between the gimbal and handle is 15 degrees, making it more comfortable to hold.
  
• Easier Balancing: Unlike previous Osmo Mobile models, Osmo Mobile 3 only requires balancing of the roll axis, which results in a much faster set-up.
  
• Trigger: We’re bringing this component back from the first version of Osmo Mobile. The trigger not only supports quick switching of gimbal modes (e.g., free, follow, recenter, etc.), but also activating Sport mode and ActiveTrack.
  
• Gimbal Modes: A set of innovative gimbal modes:
  • Follow: Pan and tilt axes follow your hand movements.
  • Tilt Lock: Only the pan axis follows your hand movements.
  • FPV: All three axes follow your hand movements.
  • Lock: None of three axes follow your hand movements.
