FAQ General DJI Osmo Mobile 6
Can I detach and reattach the Magnetic Phone Clamp to my smartphone?
Yes.
What is the magnetic force of Osmo Mobile 6?
The magnetic force of Osmo Mobile 6 is 47.5 Newtons (approximately the force needed to hold two 2-liter soda bottles), more than enough strength to keep smartphones attached securely.
Will Osmo Mobile 6's magnetic force interfere with my smartphone or other objects?
Osmo Mobile 6 uses a special closed-loop magnetic design that does not affect the performance of the smartphone attached to it. However, some phones may require calibration after mounting due to the angle of the compass. Follow the instructions on the phone to calibrate and use normally.
The magnetic design may influence other magnetic products. Do not put Osmo Mobile 6 near a bank card, cardiac pacemaker, RAM chip, hard drive, or similar devices.
