DJI OM Gimbal

Affordances

The DJI is a gimbal that allows you to make videos with a Smartphone. The steady tripod has a powerful 3-axis stabilisation system, which creates smooth and non-jerky video. This tool is a great accessory when filming on the go with your personal phone. The DJI can all you to make simple and fun videos that look professional. Simply attaching the tripod to your phone will allow you to shoot footage for school projects or just for pleasure while on vacation!

Constraints

This type of gimbal is an expensive tool that might not be practical for a general ed classroom. In the elementary education setting, getting funding for the is tool would be hard, since it is not necessarily a needed tech tool. Since the DJI gimbal works with Smartphones, an app is required to download and complete the set-up. This may not be feasible or wanted by some filmmakers. Getting used to the sensitive controls is a bit tricky, and the device seemed to malfunction at random times while testing out the gimbal.
