H J VTech T what's going on everybody and the footage you're seeing right now was taken using a nexus 6p connected to the DJI Osmo mobile silver now this brand new update to the Osmo mobile smartphone gimbal was announced at CES 2017 and the guys over a DJI were happy to let us test it out by doing a booth tour with it you can see that video over at charge a oh and it is hosted by none other than our very own Jonathan Feist however let's take a quick look at the actual device itself if you have a DJI Osmo mobile then there's a lot that is familiar here there are a few people in the android authority team that love this gimbal I have one myself and it's a great way of getting stabilized footage from just about any smartphone because you can use the native camera app and let the gimbal just stabilize the footage no matter what kind of movement you're doing the alamo will silver will be priced very similarly to the original Osmel mobile however there are a couple of enhancements the main one is that there has been some tweaking to the gimbal itself that way it should be able to provide just a bit more stabilized footage however for the iOS users out there it is now able to use filmic Pro as its native application you don't necessarily have to use the DJI Go app in order to unlock the full potential of the device that way you'll have manual controls in the actual camera app itself along with using the controls that are found on the hand grip of the Osmo mobile itself hopefully we're going to see that kind of functionality come to a couple of applications that are available if you want to replace the camera app in the Android software off your smartphone and of course because it is the Osmo mobile silver it comes in this lovely looking color which in my opinion actually looks different enough to make it kind of enticing the black on black that the original Osmo mobile has is definitely a little bit more inconspicuous but the silver really does pop out and it does look quite nice at least in my opinion users have to get the smartphone balanced inside of the Osmo mobile silver before they can turn it on you basically do that by tightening the different knobs in order to make sure that when you hold the Osmo mobile up right to the phone stays in a neutral position and then you can turn on the device using the little slider on the side and it's the same experience as the Osmo mobile essentially you can use the native camera application and then just move your arm around and you'll be able to get stabilized footage however you really unlock the best about this gimbal by using the DJI Go app the DJI go for app in particular from the Play Store works really well on here and even though it can be a little bit buggy at times we have seen improvements on it since the original Osmo mobile the thumb easily hits the joystick on the front portion of the Algenol mobile silver and then there are buttons for recording or taking pictures which makes using the device really easy and then of course there's the trigger on the back that after a couple of presses will allow you to reposition the gimbal or if you hold onto the trigger you'll be able to keep it looking forward even if you move up and down and left to right so you can track your different subjects in the frame overall we're happy to see this update to the Osmo mobile to the silver edition even though the main thing that it got was a new coat of paint however with this new version of the oz on mobile silver we will move forward with our review of the original Osmo mobile as there are a few people on our team who do love using it as their vlogging companion for their smartphones no matter what smartphone you have you can always do well to have stabilized footage and it just makes videos in general that much more professional-looking so to that end the Osmel mobile and the other mobile silver now could be a great addition to your overall smartphone life if you really want to be able to do video in a very professional way keep it tuned to android authority for even more our coverage of CES 2017 is ongoing we do have a few more things to show you from the Consumer Electronics Show of 2017 so keep it tuned here and remember to drop us some like some of these videos and subscribe if you haven't already because we are your source for all things Android
