General

What are the materials of each DJI OM 5 component?
DJI OM 5 main body/tripod: Composite materials
Magnetic phone clamp 2: Aluminum alloy and stainless steel
Storage pouch: Faux suede
Extension rod:Aluminum alloy
What are the requirements of DJI OM 5 on mobile phone bluetooth and operating system?
1. DJI OM 5 connects to mobile phones via Bluetooth, and works better with Bluetooth 5.0 or above. Please check and confirm your mobile phone specifications. (Note: The Bluetooth 5.0 was released by Bluetooth SIG in 2016, and increased the connection speed. )
2. The mobile phone system should be Android 8.0 or above, or iOS 12.0 or above.
What is new in DJI OM 5 when compared to DJI OM 4?
1. Brand new structure, smaller size, lighter weight, and more compact and portable design;
2. Built-in extension rod;
3. Newly developed ShotGuides function;
4. Optimized intelligent tracking algorithms;
5. Brand new magnetic phone clamp 2, larger clamping range, and stronger phone protection;
6. Newly developed DJI OM fill light phone clamp.
Is the DJI OM 5 magnetic phone clamp and gimbal surfaces wear-resisting?
To make the DJI OM 5 magnetic phone clamp more delicate, we use some complicated techniques such as mirror-polished finish. Additionally, due to its user-friendly quick-release design, there will be scratches after attaching and removing the clamp repeatedly.
Our engineers have performed strict life-cycle tests on the magnetic phone clamp, and ensure that the scratches produced within warranty will not affect the normal performance and functions of OM 5.
Will the magnetic force of DJI OM 5 generate interference that affects my smartphone or bank card?
DJI OM 5 will not affect the performance of the phone attached to it. However, some phones may require calibration after mounting. Please follow the prompts shown in the app to calibrate the device.
The magnetic design may influence other magnetic products. Do not put OM 5 near a bank card, cardiac pacemaker, RAM chips, hard drive, or similar devices.
What should I do if the DJI OM 5 magnetic phone clamp cannot be fitted in place?
Please make sure that the magnetic phone clamp is fitted in place before using DJI OM 5. Additionally, avoid using the device when doing highly active sports, and be careful not to drop the phone.
Align the dots on the phone clamp and the roll motor of the gimbal. After attaching your phone onto the gimbal, rotate the roll motor and make sure the phone and gimbal are locked.
What should I do when DJI OM 5 is connected to my phone but is not functioning?
1. Turn off your DJI OM 5;
2. Clear the paired devices in the Bluetooth settings of your smartphone. Disable and then enable the Bluetooth of the smartphone;
3. Restart DJI Mimo.
* If the above steps do not solve the problem, you can directly connect to Bluetooth in the DJI Mimo app, and choose not to pair the devices.
Check whether the version number, serial number, and power of OM 5 can be obtained in the DJI Mimo settings interface.
This problem is related to the Bluetooth system of mobile phone manufacturers, and is prone to appear when connecting OM 5 to an iPhone with iOS 13.5 system and Huawei phones with EMUI10.1 system.
What should I do if the gimbal is visible in the frame after attaching my smartphone?  
Due to wide-angle lenses and/or irregular phone sizes (for example, those of Huawei P40, and Huawei Mate 20 Pro), some users may see the gimbal in their camera view. 
[Solution]
1. Adjust the position of the Magnetic Phone Clamp, moving it away from the camera until the gimbal is not visible in the camera's view (applicable to iPhone 11 Pro, OPPO realme X2 Pro, OPPO Reno 2, Samsung S10+, etc.).
2. When used with DJI OM 5, some mobile phones have to be clamped at upper third of the phone body for balancing, which, however, makes the gimbal become powerless. When using a P40 with DJI OM 5, we recommend that you increase the wide-angle rate. After testing, we found that the gimbal is invisible in the frame when using P40 at 0.8X.
Does DJI OM 5 support Gesture Control? What gestures are supported?
Yes. Connect your phone to DJI OM 5, launch the DJI Mimo app, tap the gesture icon next to the shutter, and tap (?) to view detailed instructions.
DJI OM 5 also supports controlling with a palm or V gesture.
How do I use ActiveTrack with DJI OM 5?
There are three ways to use ActiveTrack:
1. Press the trigger to track the subject in the middle of the frame automatically;
2. Manually select and track the subject in the app interface;
3. Enable Gesture Control, and perform a palm or V gesture to begin tracking, take a photo, or record a video.
How do I switch between Portrait and Landscape orientation when using DJI OM 5?
1. Power on DJI OM 5, and press the composition button twice to switch between the two orientations.
2. You can also switch between portrait and landscape by rotating the gimbal (roll axis) manually.
How do I enter Standby mode with DJI OM 5?
Power on DJI OM 5 and press the M button twice to enter Standby mode.
Once standby mode is enabled, press any button to exit the mode.
How do I use SpinShot with DJI OM 5?

How do I use the customized templates in Story mode with DJI OM 5?
Go to Story mode in the live camera view and select Custom Story.
How do I use DynamicZoom with DJI OM 5?

How do I take Path (Timelapse) shots with DJI OM 5?
In the "Timelapse" page, click the parameter settings panel on the top of the interface, and then select "Path" to use the Path (Timelapse) function.
How do I switch DJI OM 5 to Sport mode?
There are two ways:
1. After connecting OM 5 to the DJI Mimo app, click the settings icon on the upper right corner of the interface, and there is a switch for you to enable Sport mode.
2. After powering on OM 5, press and hold the Trigger to enter Sport mode.
The difference between the two ways:
If Sport mode is enabled in DJI Mimo (way 1), the device can remain in Sport mode all the time. If Sport mode is enabled by holding the Trigger button, the device will exit Sport mode once the operator has released the button.
When in Sport mode, OM 5 can respond to the operator's operations more quickly.

If the update is complete successfully, the status indicator will be solid green. If the update fails, the status indicator will blink red and green, and a prompt will appear on the DJI Mimo app interface.
What should I do if the DJI OM 5 firmware update fails?
1. Power off OM 5, and then restart and try again. 2. If the phone still cannot be connected to OM 5, please feel free to contact DJI Support for help.
