Our Verdict

DJI Osmo Mobile 4 at first looks very similar to osmo 3. The only new feature is the magnetic design.

If you’re looking for a new smartphone gimbal and willing to pay the premium for top-quality results, the Osmo 4 is definitely worth considering. But, if you already own an Osmo 3, it may not be worth the upgrade.
