Introduction
The OSMOTM+ is a professional handheld gimbal camera that combines mobility and stability
in one device. Its camera features an optical zoom lens providing 3.5x optical zoom and 2x
lossless digital zoom*. It shoots sharp 12MP still photos and stable video at up to 4K. A light
and ergonomic design places buttons at your fingertips, forming a powerful and personal
one-handed filmmaking device. The DJI GO app complements the Osmo+ with shooting
modes such as motion timelapse and 9-shot panorama.
Equipped with 3-axis stabilization and SmoothTrack technology, the Osmo+ compensates for
natural arm movements and smooths out transitions. Finer operations can be done with the
joystick, while instant positioning of the camera can be made directly with your other hand.
The camera tilts across a 170-degree range and has a pan rotation of 640 degrees. The DJI
Rosette Mount on the side of the handle allows your mobile device to be mounted as a live

the camera is working normally but the gimbal is shut off.
If you need to unlock the gimbal after it is turned on, you must rotate the pan motor
to reactivate the gimbal.
