Does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is compatible with the Osmo Mobile? I am planning on purchasing an Osmo Mobile but not sure if my phone is compatible. I know the note 8 is bigger and heavier than most phones so if anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

Alex, appreciate your support to DJI product firstly, while Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is not in our list, so the compatibility cannot be guaranteed.
Hope other users who use Samsung Galaxy Note 8 could give you come advice.

Saw a youtube video where someone added a counterweight in order to balance the Note 8.

I just recently got a Note 8 and it seemed to balance fine without a counterweights if you extend the arm all the way out, this was without a case on my phone.  I haven't taken the time to really see if there were any noticeable differences in handling the Note 8 size/weight vs what I had previously(s7 edge), just a quick balance check and slight movements and it seemed fine. The DIJ go app connected fine and actually was easier to setup, only had to install it and connect(Previously had issues initially opening the app with the s7 edge).

Hope this helps.

I purchased the osmo mobile recently and its seems to not able to balance it and keeps getting the "mount your device" message. But I have seen people post videos on youtube with their note 8. Kind of a hit or miss situation there.

Hey everyone. I've been using the note 8 for about a week. Was previously on S7 edge.osmo mobile powered off and without a case when extending the arm all the way the note seems to balance just fine.
However when I use the supplied clear case for the note 8, there is a slight tilt left. You can notice it but the Osmo mobile operates just fine anyway.

Not sure how this slight imbalance affects the motors or performance.

Anyone else have similar experience with the DJI app or filmic pro on note 8 + OsmoMo mobile?

I tried using my Note8 with my Osmo Mobile and was not able to get it to balance. I put it in without a case and drops to the left.. It still works but after a few minutes the Osmo gets hot and eventually turns off. It also drains the battery like crazy!

Anyone have a good suggestion on countering the weight? I'm thinking of adding coins...

Unbalanced and it took a bolt with 2 nuts to make it perfect center.
The solution isn't elegant, but it worked for 5 mins at least. A longer test yet to come.

Anyways, I am buying another battery for my Osmo, who knows how much more energy this new balancing situation will need.

Hi my note 8 is balanced with out case but the dji go app has problem it can only record for 30 seconds then screen is off stop recording any one has same problem ? Thanks

Sir, do you mean the screen turns out to be black after 30 seconds recording?
Will the Bluetooth get disconnected?

Hi Mindy, the screen is turn off and stop recording with or without osmo mobile, I have tried record video by using dji go app by itself the screen still turns off, the Bluetooth still connected

Is that possible to take a short video with another mobile phone about the problem your are experiencing? I will report to our engineers to look into, thanks.

Why my screen keeps turning off on my galaxy note 8, i setup my screen time to 30 second but it should recognize the dji is open and recording

I have the same problem with my Note 8. The bluetooth is still on, and OSMO Mobile is still connected, but the screen shuts off based on the screen on time setting. So mine would shut-off/stop recording after 30 seconds. I needed to switch it to 10 min in order to keep recording, but if I record more than 10 min, then the same problem happens. This really shouldn't be the case, the screen off timer is when your phone is 'inactive'. The DJI app should count as an activity, not to mention the camera setting. Also the recording isn't in 4k, the setting tops out at 1080p. I had a Samsung Galaxy S8+, and none of the issues mentioned here happened with S8+. Seems to me it's a DJI GO compatibility issue.

Ck my response in the post 'S7 Edge shuts off after 25 sec'. The culprit is the new app upgrade causing the shut off isdue.

Sorry for the trouble caused, our engineers are working on getting it sorted out in the next APP.
Would you please use iOS device temporarily if you have one or downgrade the APP in your Android mobile phone?

May I know your current APP version? What do you mean the tracking funtion doesn't work? Do you have this function available in your mobile phone?
And may I know the model of your mobile device?

Hi, Sir, the following devices which we have tested have the 4K resolution:
Samsung S8, Samsung S7 Edge, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 plus, Huawei P10, Huawei P10 Plus, Huawei Mate 9, Huawei Mate 9 Pro, MI Max, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone SE
We will keep improving our products to make it compatible with more mobile devices.

for those who use the note 8 you can use filmic pro for 4k reccording and its working with osmo mobile control

I tested it on my Note 8, but I cannot shoot in 4k. it has only 1080 and it has an error on the app " resolution not supported on dji go app"

We are sorry for the inconvenience, you can take 4K resolution with the camera in your mobile phone, Osmo Mobile could just be a stabilizer.

Might as well buy a normal gimbal if that's the only solution hahahaha

Since there are too many Android mobile devices in the market, it is hard to make sure everyone could be fully compatible with Osmo Mobile, I have listed the model of mobile phone which supports 4K resolution in 32#. And we will keep improving our products to make it compatible with more devices.

New update of dji go 3.1.23 and still no 4k resolution for samsung galaxy note 8
