So what are the current smartphone gimbal stabilizer worth choosing?
After researching online and spending hours in comparing these smartphone gimbal stabilizer, I have shortlisted the top 3 stabilizer which you can buy right now.
1.DJI OM 4 – Latest Technology
Compared with the previous generation Osmo Mobile 3, the biggest change is that the OM4 phone holder is changed to a magnetic design, which makes it more convenient to place the phone. In addition, OM4 retains many of the advantages of Osmo Mobile 3.
The design of OM 4 is not only convenient for users to carry, but also easier for users to operate. For example, you can press the M key twice to quickly move the phone from horizontal to vertical mode, no need to manually adjust the phone. In addition, the mode switch button can easily achieve the effects of switching the front and rear lens heads, switching the mode of the gimbal and so on. The zoom slider on the side of the gimbal can be used to control the zoom of the lens.

2.ZHIYUN Smooth 4
Zhiyun Smooth 4 has an innovative focus wheel for smooth zooming. It has placed many buttons on the hand-held par
t of the gimbal. Using these buttons to directly control the stabilizer and moving the camera can reduce the need to touch the screen. However, such a design inevitably brings some problems.The first is the increase in learning costs. For the general user, more physical buttons mean more time is required to become familiar with this product.
The two USB ports can work simultaneously to support charging and discharging, thereby extending battery life.
PhoneGo mode is one of SMOOTH 4's special modes. It locks the roll axis and allows the lens to quickly follow up, down, left, and right movements. The biggest use is for shooting fast moving transitions.

3.FeiyuTech VLOG Pocket – Most Port
able
The main feature of VLOG pocket is simple and lightweight. It weighs only 272 grams, which is much lighter than Osmo Mobile 3. The folding design makes it easy to put in your pocket, but the grip is not very good due to the small handle.
The VLOG pocket buttons are very simple, there are only two on the front, and a variety of functions can be realized by clicking, double-clicking, and long-pressing. Although the app function of VLOG pocket pairing is not as rich as Osmo Mobile 3, the basic functions are all there.
