Design & Handling
The Osmo Mobile 6 is marginally lighter and features a stylish, compact design that unfolds into action at a moment’s notice. Its built-in extension (selfie stick) and responsive magnetic clamp make setup quick and painless.
By contrast, the Osmo Mobile SE is slightly heavier and bulkier when folded, but still portable and sturdy - making it ideal for on-the-go shooting. Both support phones of similar sizes and weights
Stabilisation & Creative Control
Both models offer excellent three-axis stabilisation and are compatible with powerful smart features like ActiveTrack 5.0. However, the Mobile 6 sets itself apart with a side wheel for seamless zoom and focus control, and Quick Launch, which instantly powers on your device when you unfold it - especially handy for iPhone users
The Osmo Mobile SE keeps the essentials - smooth tracking and gesture control, but lacks the refined control of the side wheel and instant quick-launch functionality.
Battery & Runtime
Battery longevity is significantly better on the Osmo Mobile SE, thanks to its larger 2600 mAh battery, giving around 8 hours of use.
The Mobile 6 still offers solid endurance - about 6 hours, but charges much faster.
