DJI OM 5 Smartphone Gimbal, Athens Gray — smooth footage without the gear bulk

The gist: A pared-down, neutral-toned gimbal that trades tripod bulk for a built-in extendable arm — a smart trade for anyone packing light.

Lightest DJI gimbal yet: At 290g, it's roughly 100g lighter than the previous-gen OM 4, so it earns its spot in a carry-on.
No separate selfie stick needed: The built-in extendable arm handles group shots and wider framing without extra gear.
Scene-aware shot help: ShotGuides scans your surroundings and suggests a shot list for landscapes, people, or daily-life scenes.
~6-hour battery: DJI rates the OM 5 for about six hours per charge, with roughly 90 minutes to recharge.

Android Authority called the OM 5 “one of the best smartphone gimbals to ever hit the market,” while noting its $159 price is high next to cheaper rivals.

Best for: iPhone travelers who want stabilized footage and a selfie stick in one compact tool. Skip it if: you shoot on Android — several features and frame rates are iPhone-only, and it's US/Canada-only. Runs ~$159 — check the current price before buying.
