Three-axis stabilisation keeps phone steady for walking and panning shots. ActiveTrack 6.0 and a built-in extension rod expand framing options for solo filming.
Silky stable footage – With 3-Axis Stabilisation
Three-axis stabilisation uses motorised axes to counteract pitch, yaw and roll, keeping the phone level during movement. Motors respond to motion to smooth out walking, panning and sudden shifts.
Smoother walking shots and fluid pans make vlogs and family footage look far more professional. Shaky, handheld clips are replaced by steady, watchable video with minimal effort.
Reliable subject tracking – Thanks to ActiveTrack 6.0
ActiveTrack 6.0 upgrades the gimbal's tracking algorithms to lock on to people and pets, maintaining framing even when subjects move unexpectedly. The system supports self-tracking for solo filming.
Stay in frame while filming alone, or let the gimbal follow energetic children and pets automatically. Capture candid moments without a second operator required.
Compact reach and control – With built-in extension rod and watch remote
Foldable design keeps the gimbal compact and light at 309g, while an integrated extension rod adds reach for higher or wider angles. The DJI Mimo app can be installed on an Apple Watch to act as a remote for angle adjustments and capture.
Easier group selfies, elevated perspectives and hands-free recording for solo creators and families. Quick access to controls from a watch reduces the need to touch the phone during filming.
