DJI, the company known for its drones, already has a few smartphone gimbals in the market. Now, the brand is gearing up to launch a new model with a telescoping selfie stick built into its handle, reports WinFuture.

The upcoming smartphone gimbal from DJI, dubbed Osmo Mobile 5, will be a successor to last year’s Osmo Mobile 4. It is likely to get announced at a launch event on 8th September for a price of €159, which roughly translates to $188.

If the reports are to be believed, then the upcoming Osmo Mobile 5 folds down to around 17cm (6.7 inches) and can also be extended when you need to get closer to the subject. But don’t expect it to extend as much as a selfie stick but the distance should be enough for extra flexibility.

Unfortunately, the new feature seems to be taking a toll on the battery life as it will reportedly offer a battery life of 6 hours and 20 minutes, a massive decrease from 15 hours of battery life on the Osmo Mobile 4.

It is being reported that the battery can be fully recharged within around 1.5 hours. As for the design, the company seems to have retained a magnetic mounting system, making it easier to quickly attach and detach the smartphone from the gimbal.

Along with the new Osmo Mobile 5, DJI is also reportedly planning to launch a cheaper Osmo Mobile 4 SE which gets rid of the magnetic mounting system to lower the cost. It will reportedly cost $99, which is $50 cheaper than the price of the current model.

DJI may have started as a drone company but their consumer portfolio now includes the RoboMaster series of robots and the Osmo series of hand gimbals and action cameras. A new leak has now revealed all there is to know about the upcoming Osmo Mobile 4.

There are now two ways to use the new gimbal as shown in images from the leak which was first reportted by Winfuture.de. Alongside using the clamp to hold your phone, DJI has also included the option to use a magnetic holder similar to what we have seen in some car mounts. The magnet is really strong and serves double function as a phone holder which is pretty common these days.

Coming to the features of the Osmo Mobile 4, DJI has added what is called DynamicZoom which allows for cinema-grade zooming. There is also ActiveTrack 3.0 which improves upon the tracking of objects and people and HyperLapse.

The Osmo Mobile 4 still has a foldable design and there is a hole in the handle for attaching an accessory so it can be used as a tripod. It packs a 2450mAh battery just like its predecessor that should last up to 15 hours on a single charge. There is a USB-C port on the device for charging. The gimbal weighs 390 grams and connects via Bluetooth 5.0.

DJI is expected to announce the gimbal soon with a price tag of under €150 in Europe.
