 Alright, whole Verge crew is here. We're doing a hands-on of the Osmo Mobile 3. A big thought in my mind when I get a new product is, who is this for? And then I remembered where I see the most of these, and it's right up here. I think DJI's Mobile series is best suited for someone who's on the go. They want really good footage, but they don't want to use a camera that's bigger than the one that's already in their pocket. So for this video, we had planned to go to all the best tourist destinations in NYC to test this thing out. Then this happened. It started pouring, as it always does when I want to shoot outside. So, we're going inside. Alright, totally aborted that plan. This is the DJI Osmo Mobile 3, and it's third in line of stabilizers made for your phone by DJI. And this one, well, it's even more compact than ever before. It's super easy to get set up and using, and it does this? Sick. The biggest difference between the 2 and the 3 is that the 3 folds. This is as small as the Mobile 2 ever got, and with the 3, it just folds right in half. You can also just click it up and click it down with no latches or anything locking it in place. And when you put your phone in, all you have to do is slide it back and forth to adjust the roll axis. The handle is just a bit more angled than previous models as well, and there's a rubber grip on it now where your palm rests. If you use the Mobile 2, adapting to the buttons here will be as easy as it could be because they're really not that different. You have your zoom toggle, your joystick, an M button, a record button, around back, the trigger, a USB-C, and the USB port on the side rather than the back. Speaking of USB, a great feature that the 3 has that the 2 doesn't is now you can have your phone charging or plugged into anything on its accessory port and also be in landscape mode. On the 2, if you were in landscape mode, that meant the bottom of your phone was resting against the gimbal itself. A lot of the changes come in software and in the DJI Mimo app. What you'll see there is ActiveTrack 3.0, a gesture control feature, sport mode, and then some weird creative shooting modes, including fashion mode. The gesture control feature was more fun than I thought. By flashing a peace sign, the app started filming and enabled ActiveTrack on me. It flashes to let you know it found you, and then again when it starts recording. I think it's extra effective for someone who might be shooting themselves and not looking at the screen or having the time to focus on your framing. Hyperlapse creates really beautiful results with a bit of patience, and the shooting modes can create cool edits with little effort. These shooting modes are definitely a novelty. I can't see myself using them a ton, but in the short time I used them, they were cool and super flashy. Oh my gosh, so weird. My favorite feature added though was the sport mode. It just creates a super reactive gimbal. So if you're following someone that's moving quickly or you're following like a sporting event or you're running, honestly this gimbal can kick up the speed. The biggest upgrade across the board though is being able to switch from portrait mode to landscape mode with a double tap of the M button. I mean, number one, that's just cool. But number two, if you've used the Mobile 2, you know how annoying it was to shut off your gimbal, unscrew the back, turn your camera, screw it back on, turn it back on, all the while making sure it's balanced. And this, that's a hell of a lot easier. I do think pulling your phone in and out of this is still really annoying. And what I have been doing the whole time I'm testing it is putting my phone in upside down. And it's upside down. So if I own this thing, I would definitely put an arrow to which way the phone's lens is supposed to be. Overall, the footage looks super stable. When you're looking at it on a smaller screen such as your phone, once you blow it up, you start to notice small jitters and a sort of sway to the footage. You also have to be mindful of the bop that your hand naturally creates when you walk. Hopefully over time, I would learn to be more mindful of that but in the short time that I used the Osmo Mobile 3, that bop was very apparent. The Osmo Mobile 3 is available now starting at 119 or 139, which includes the tripod stand and a case. At last, my hair is ruined. My clothes are soaked. But the hands-on goes on.
 Alright, whole Verge crew is here.
 We're doing a hands-on of the Osmo Mobile 3.
 A big thought in my mind when I get a new product is,
 who is this for?
 And then I remembered where I see the most of these,
 and it's right up here.
 I think DJI's Mobile series is best suited
 for someone who's on the go.
 They want really good footage,
 but they don't want to use a camera that's bigger
 than the one that's already in their pocket.
 So for this video, we had planned to go
 to all the best tourist destinations in NYC
 to test this thing out.
 Then this happened.
 It started pouring,
 as it always does when I want to shoot outside.
 So, we're going inside.
 Alright, totally aborted that plan.
 This is the DJI Osmo Mobile 3,
 and it's third in line of stabilizers made for your phone by DJI.
 And this one, well, it's even more compact than ever before.
 It's super easy to get set up and using,
 and it does this?
 Sick.
 The biggest difference between the 2 and the 3
 is that the 3 folds.
 This is as small as the Mobile 2 ever got,
 and with the 3, it just folds right in half.
 You can also just click it up and click it down
 with no latches or anything locking it in place.
 And when you put your phone in,
 all you have to do is slide it back and forth
 to adjust the roll axis.
 The handle is just a bit more angled
 than previous models as well,
 and there's a rubber grip on it now where your palm rests.
