Have been using my Osmo Mobile happily with an iphone 7 but have just bought an iphone 8 plus and can't get it to connect. Support tell me it is not compatible?? But I've seen loads of threads on here with people saying they are using the iphone 8 plus without issue - can anyone help?

Problem solved - iPhone 8 plus now working fine, turns out the Osmo Mobile was picking up Bluetooth on my old phone so that why the new one wouldn't connect - d'oh. Not impressed with Marjorie in online chat though, went round in circles and then said the engineers had not yet tested iPhone 8 plus with the app.

Thanks - another quick question. Doesn't seem possible to balance the iPhone 8+ before switching on, even with the arm fully extended  - feels ok when engaged with the app but will it cause an issue when used for an extended period (e.g. overheating?) Or is there a counterweight available to balance it?

May I have a short video about the balancing process for further support? Thank you.

Hi - have uploaded a video here https://vimeo.com/254109623
Advice appreciated.

Thanks for the video, have you tried to calibrate the gimbal? It could be balanced before switching on actually.

Yes have calibrated the gimbal BUT, as per the video, there doesn't seem to be any way to balance the phone before the device is switched on (as I could with an iphone7 for example). It all works ok but is it an issue in terms of battery use or overheating when used for an extended period??

I have the same question. I cannot balance the iphone 8 plus on the device to save my life. It just continually falls to the left.

For about 2 years I use my YI4k Plus with the Osmo Mobile.  For balance, I glued a small iron disk to the right of the Osmo Mobile.  I also use it with the iPhone 8 Plus and now also with the 11 Pro Max.
