Some time ago DJI unveiled the Avata FPV drone and, more recently, the DJI Osmo Action 3 camera, soon the company will present the next generation of smartphone gimbal: the new DJI OM 6 and an affordable DJI OM SE.

The DJI OM 6 has a new look and a new control: a knob on the left side, which will be used to precisely control the zoom and / or focus. The gimbal features 3-axis stabilization and a new ActiveTrack 5.0 (a system that automatically keeps a moving subject in the frame).

In addition, the OM 6 has an integrated extension rod and tripod legs, just like its predecessor. The gimbal itself weighs 309g and the magnetic clamp you use to connect your phone to the gimbal is 31g. The motors can handle smartphones up to 290 g.

The 1,000mAh battery is good for 6.5 hours of operation and will need 1.5 hours to fully charge. These numbers are actually the same as the DJI OM 5.

The DJI OM SE is a cheaper version with a design closer to the old OM 5. There is no extension rod, but it holds the tripod legs. Like its more premium sibling, the SE gimbal can handle phones up to 290g.

Interestingly, the OM SE will have a much larger battery: 2,600mAh, according to leaked data acquired by Win Future. However, this won’t result in twice the battery life, instead the SE is rated at 8 hours of battery life. And it’s heavier too, weighing in at 352g (43g more than the OM 6).

The DJI OM 6 will reportedly cost € 180 at launch, which is a little more than the OM 5 (€ 160, now down to € 130). On the plus side, the DJI OM SE will be cheaper – € 110, just above the current price of the DJI OM 4 SE.

The official announcement of the two new gimbals should be soon, but we don’t know the exact date (the Osmo Action 3 arrived three weeks after the Avata and it’s been a week since Action 3).
