The Best Mobile Filmmaking Setup

It’s no secret that the iPhone is perfect for on-the-go video creation. With the size and quality iPhones now offer, there’s no reason not to embrace the full potential of your device’s video capabilities. But to truly unlock pro-level filmmaking, you need the right gear. Enter the DJI Osmo Mobile 7 and SANDMARC Film Rig—the ideal setup.

The DJI Osmo Mobile 7 is the latest addition to the Osmo Mobile family, renowned for its superior stabilization, intelligent tracking, and ergonomic design. Simply attach your iPhone, and whether you’re walking, running, or jumping, watch as your iPhone video remains unfazed by the movement. It’s perfect for selfies, and group shots.

The SANDMARC Film Rig is a versatile mounting system designed to elevate your mobile filmmaking experience. Crafted with industrial aluminum, it’s lightweight and waterproof. With a compact 23.5 cm design, it’s also travel-friendly. The rig allows you to easily attach lighting, microphones, SSDs, tripods, and even the DJI Osmo Mobile 7.

The DJI Osmo Mobile 7 and SANDMARC Film Rig are the perfect filmmaking duo. The Osmo’s advanced stabilization ensures smooth, cinematic shots, while the Film Rig’s versatile attachment options let you customize your setup with microphones, lights, and lenses.

One limitation of the Osmo alone is its sensitivity to added gear—extra attachments can throw off its balance. The Film Rig solves this by providing a stable platform for accessories without compromising stabilization.

Both are compact and travel-friendly, making them ideal for vlogging, short films, or content creation on the go. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, this setup will take your mobile filmmaking to the next level.

You can enhance your setup even further by adding a microphone, light, or external battery for extended filming sessions. On your iPhone, attachable lenses and filters are game-changers, allowing you to achieve cinematic effects, wider shots, or richer color tones. With the right combination of gear, your mobile filmmaking setup can rival professional productions.

*Important to Note: The DJI Osmo 7 has no attachment for counterweights, so only SANDMARC filters can be used due to stability issues. In contrast, the DJI Osmo 6 can accommodate SANDMARC lenses and filters because of its ability to add counterweights.
