Activating Your DJI OM 4

1. Download and install the DJI Mimo in preparation - available on iOS and Android.

2. Choose either the Magnetic Phone Clamp or Magnetic Ring Holder to use with your mobile device.

4. Unfold the tripod legs to keep the OM 4 steady while you continue the rest of the setup.

5. Place the magnetic phone clamp on the centre of the phone, pulling the legs apart slightly if needed. Make sure the DJI logo on the phone clamp and your phone camera are facing the same direction.

6. Now, simply unfold the gimbal by pulling it up from its folded position.

7. Align the phone clamp with the magnetic point on the gimbal and simply hold your phone close enough to the magnetic circle on the gimbal so it snaps into position.
