Thanks so much this was really really helpful
this is so wrong
My GOD!!! What a waste of time!
Earned a sub just for this man thank you
Thanks for the tutorial video. I am thinking to buy one of those, very soon.
Hi, I did everything you explain, very good explanation. Then I turn on my gimbal, fully charged… and nothing happens… any idea of what I'm missing? hanks Rish, nice video

You don’t know what you’re doing so don’t confuse people. That’s not how you balance it. The other videos you have seen cover this perfectly well. Yours is all wrong and could damage the unit.
Just reveived mine today and was balancing my iPhone 10 Max your way and the phone clamp was hitting the back motor not allowing for a full rotation. Balancing horizontal doesnt hit. Also, my phone case is off. For me, it balanced horizontal. I believe my phone is one of the larger models. Wheres the DJI tripod base that showed in other videos? All I received was DJI Mobile 2, charging cable and the storage case.
Thank you! Helped a lot!
My green light is solid when charging, is it charging properly?
thanks you are so right DJI instruction video lacks very much You did well
Verry helpfull, thanks
Super helpful video!!!!!!! Been trying to balance my phone on it and osmo tutorials did not help at all. You covered everything in detail, thank you!!
Perfect! Thank you so much for making this video!
QUICK TIP!!! If you are using an iPhone, go into your compass, then swipe over. Your iphone has a built in level. This will also help you balance it to be perfectly level horizontally
Thanks for the video!
Super helpful
I’d doesn’t work on my way
This helped me a lot with my documentaries
Thank you, bud!
where did you get the mini tripod and how much did it kost
Just saw your video bro your wrong bro about the center knob that knob is to adjust the landscape or portrait u can see the drawing behind it. Correction bro that knob is nothing to do with the balancing of the phone.
Best description. Had such a hard time until watching this
the most annoying part about this DJI is that you have to remove the case cover to get a perfect balance
What’s the point of this instead of turning it on
Thank you so much! Life saver! 😀
Your a life saver
omg.. the best video for setup! thanks for the explanation!
Thanks much Sir! Had a tough time with this myself!
Thanks matey. Great explanation. Cheers
Got mine today. I changed it put my phone in it. Then I balanced it. Turned it on, all the lights came on but nothing happens. I think I have a faulty one.
THANK YOU BRO
Just a follow up the OSMO Mobile 2 did everything I needed it to. Learned while using it and did I think 34 interviews at Blade Show West.
Definitely would not have worked as a primary battery back up.
Dude, great job. You're the only one covering this.
The way you balanced the tilt axis is not correct and will actually use more power when you tilt the phone with the joystick, it will also over stress the motors and possibly damage the gimbal, especially if you have a larger phone. the way it says to balance in the manual is the correct way and only then will it be properly balanced. The way you have done it means the tilt is acting more like a pendulum only and not a balanced motor.
Thank
Thank you for your tips brother. U the best 😊
Jesus bless
big thansk for the tip
It should be balanced how it says in the manual, straight down. So, when you pitch it up or down it has equal weight. If you balance it level then all the weight will be on the top or bottom based on your phone. Then either your up or down will have to work much harder on your motor. That's what I discovered. If you aren't pitching up or down then yes, it isnt much strain when in a neutral position.
Incredible explanation!
Helped out a bunch!! Thanks 🙂
U explained it so well. Now i can finally start using my dji osmo 2 wid s9 plus
with dji osmo mobile 2 very difficult to mount iPhone X with its case, remove its ok thats means expensive iPhone X will gone forever with this cheap gimble, no youtuber told us the secret, because they are here only to sell their ugly
