Hi Guys i got my new Osmo Mobile today and i'm super excited to use it with my iPhone 6s and GoPro Hero 4.
I also gotten my self a PGYTECH adapter for gopro. The adapter is metal and is quite heavy, i weighted it and as you can see its precisely 210g.
I saw a lot of people posting on youtube that they have no problem using it with Osmo Mobile, but I am still pretty concern whether it will break the motors in a long run.
Therefore , i am here asking for the maximum weight that Osmo Mobile can support without stressing the motors ?

Thank you in advance.
Best Regards
Ryan.

GoPro is too heavy for Osmo Mobile, we don't suggest to mount any other cameras except smartphones. The balance of the gimbal may be affected.
Thanks for your understanding.

No one at DJI seems willing to identify the max payload in grams for the OSMO Mobile/Zenmuse M1. Would someone please make that identification? It can really help make informed decisions.

Thanks.

For example, my iPhone 7 Plus with its film screen protector and super-slim case weighs in at 195 grams. I have had issues with an OSMO Mobile, a Zenmuse M1, and now a second OSMO Mobile. My gut tells me that the max payload is 200 grams, so 195 is too close to the max and is causing balance and performance issues. Am I wrong?

my Iphone 7plus vs case has 211g,no overheating.So I use action camera YI 4k+ vs vinil case and adapter total 210g no overheating ,work good

Yes, I did contacted support and the DJI staff took 5 minutes to get back to me with the maximum width/height it can support, not the weight. Seems like there's no confirmed technical information regarding this. Maybe if there's a dji technician here that could give us the answer that will be great ! @ifonline can I know what are the faulty symptoms of your previous  Osmo Mobile.

Shuddering and difficulty keeping the horizon under movement are the two issues I have experienced with my first OSMO Mobile and now my second. I can only compare that performance to a competing gimbal I have that has a 260 gram payload. I can whip that thing around all day long and the iPhone holds its horizon without issue. So yeah, I feel like it's clear that the OSMO Mobile has weaker motors and I believe that a payload of 200 grams or more is pushing the abilities of the gimbal too far. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's why I have asked for confirmation of max payload. I'd like to know.

The Zenmuse M1 lasted about three days before it started grinding, shuddering, and going limp. Related to payload weight? I have no idea, but my track record of reliability with these things isn't leaving me feeling good.

The other big complaint I have with the OSMO Mobile/Zenmuse M1 is that its range is way too limited. My other gimbal has a 360 degree pan and +/- 320 degree tilt and roll. That means that I can freely move the handle is just about any direction without hitting a stop. The OSMO Mobile, not so much.

It can. I use OSMO mobile with my GoPro 5. PGYTECH adaptor is awesome
