You can attach the phone mount very easily with the magnetic attachment. The mount shows markings how to put it on the gimbal. If you put it on upside down, the magnet doesn't work. You can now turn on the DJI OM 6. It balances your phone automatically. It's important that your phone is in the middle of your phone mount. If that's not the case, you'll notice the phone isn't stable while you record.

You can control the gimbal via the various buttons on the handle. This way, you can switch between portrait mode and landscape mode at the push of a button, for example. You can do that with the button that shows 2 arrows. If you want to aim the camera upwards or downwards, you can turn the dial on the side. The small LCD display shows the mode the gimbal is in. This determines how it stabilizes your phone.

To record videos with the OM 6, you need the DJI Mimo app. The app contains various videos that explain how the gimbal works. With these instructional videos, you'll learn how the gimbal works faster. You'll get an explanation on all the control buttons and the modes of stabilization. The explanation is very clear, but it takes time and practice to learn to record with a gimbal.

Set the gimbal to Story mode and easily make videos for TikTok or Instagram. Choose an atmosphere or format for your video, after which you record some shorts. The gimbal indicates how you can record the different images. It also shows the movements you can make. Once you recorded all images, it compiles them into a short video.
