DJI OSMO Mobile 6 (DJI-ZM600/OE200) Review: 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer

The DJI OSMO Mobile 6 (DJI-ZM600/OE200) arrived on my desk with a promise of smooth, cinematic footage, no matter how shaky my hands. After weeks of testing in various scenarios – from bustling city streets to quiet park walks – I’m ready to share my in-depth review.
The OSMO Mobile 6 boasts an impressive array of features. The magnetic phone attachment is incredibly quick and intuitive, a huge improvement over previous models. The ActiveTrack 5.0 is remarkably accurate, keeping my subject perfectly framed even during rapid movements. The built-in extension rod is a welcome addition, offering creative flexibility for high-angle shots and selfies. The intuitive side wheel for focus and zoom control adds a professional touch. The LightCut editing app is a surprisingly handy tool for quick edits on the go.
The stabilization is truly exceptional. Even when walking at a brisk pace or navigating crowded areas, the footage remained remarkably smooth. The ActiveTrack 5.0 performed flawlessly, accurately tracking my moving subjects. The extended battery life easily lasted through a full day of shooting. While the camera resolution (as specified) is 2MP, it is important to note that this is not the resolution of the phone itself; rather this refers to a lower resolution option available on the gimbal. The gimbal works with the phone’s native camera allowing it to capture video at far higher resolutions.
One minor quibble: the app, while generally user-friendly, could benefit from a few UI refinements for even more intuitive navigation. Occasionally, I encountered minor glitches when using the ActiveTrack feature in low-light conditions.

Its exceptional stabilization, user-friendly design, and powerful features make it a great choice for both beginners and experienced videographers. While the app has a few minor quirks, the overall experience is incredibly positive. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to elevate their mobile filmmaking game. The official warranty support in the UAE is a significant plus for peace of mind.
