DJI OM 4
£139, dji.comGimbals are great, but actually mounting your
phone to a gimbal traditionally hasn’t been. In
fact, it’s usually a massive pain, making it either
impossible to catch the moment smoothly, or
forcing you to keep an unwieldy handle
attached to your handset at all times. No more!
DJI’s latest update to its 3-axis gimbal makes
significant improvements to the already very
smooth stabilisation and tracking functions of
its forebears, bringing cool features like a dolly
zoom mode and a neat ‘clone me’ panorama
that lets you hog the spotlight multiple times,
but it’s the magnetic mount that makes the
biggest impact. Now you just need a small clip
clamped around your phone, allowing you to
snap it on and off at any time. The clamping
mechanism is sure enough that you won’t have
to worry about that pricey phone going flying.
T3 SAYS: At last: gimbal with confidence.
NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES
From £469, nvidia.comJust as the PS5 and Xbox Series X made a big
show of catching up with – or even surpassing- the PC, Nvidia swoops in and changes the
game completely with three new HDMI-2.1-
supporting graphics cards packing some
serious, serious power upgrades on board.
A lot of it isn’t even graphics related: you get
things like extra-fast SSD access, throwing
serious shade at the PS5’s loading times. Even
the lowest-end £469 RTX 3070 surpasses the
previous top-end 2080Ti, the RTX 3080 (£649)
adds new super-fast GDDR6X memory and a
stack more cores, and the flagship RTX 3090
goes absolutely nuts, with 24GB RAM, over
10,000 CUDA cores, and the ability to play
RTX-rendered games at 8K. Granted, it’ll cost
you an eye-watering £1,399, but it might be
worth it to be a generation ahead.
