NOt sure if this has been asked, but its probably something people have been wondering. Is the OM4s magnet going to hurt or damage electronics when its in close or touch promixity to it? Like near an action camera, cellphone, power bank, on the gimbal attaching side of the magnetic mounts, not the phone resting side?

Hi there, all magnetic products have magnetic force. We recommend that you separate the Osmo Mobile 4 gimbal from your bank cards, pacemakers, RAM chips, and hard drives.
As for the mobile phones, the Osmo Mobile 4 is designed with special closed magnetic circuits, which will not affect the performance of mobile phones. Some mobile phones may prompt "Compass calibration required" because the compass angle changes due to the magnetic force. You can use your mobile phone normally after calibrating the phone compass.

Thanks for the reply

but in my situation, the gimbal is folded down and in its soft case, stuffed into my camera bag. Can I put a small cellphone or say retro gaming device or PSP on top of it so thats its flat on top of the folded OM4 like in this picture? ?
