It’s supported by ActiveTrack 5.0, the latest generation of DJI technology for locking stabilization to a specific target in your footage, with new features like ShotGuides that tailor your footage to the environment you’re actually filming. There’s also an iPhone-exclusive quick start feature, which automatically opts into the DJI Mimo app once your smartphone is connected to the gimbal.

After just launching earlier this spring, DJI’s cheapest smartphone gimbal is now even better value. Seeing its first-ever discount courtesy of Amazon just like the headlining deal, the new Osmo Mobile SE gimbal arrives at $99 shipped.
