DJI Osmo Mobile 3 Oversized Phone Holder Brackets by nlarson1981

I was tired of always having to remove my phone from the case to use it with my DJI Osmo Mobile 3. The stock phone holder arms barely fit my S21 Ultra to begin with, but with the phone in a rugged case, it just wouldn't fit, so I decided to create new, oversized brackets that would fit the phone without needing to remove the case.
These new brackets work well and fit the phone with case well. Replacement of these brackets is not trivial. You must remove the plate covering the bracket slides, desolder 3 motor leads to remove a small PCB, and the springs for the brackets are difficult to reattach, even with a set of dental picks. You can find teardown pictures of the Osmo Mobile 3 here: https://fccid.io/2ANDR-OF1001904/Internal-Photos/Internal-photos-4379860 I recommend reviewing this before you begin so you understand what you are getting yourself into and don't damage your gimbal.
Two brackets are needed for the phone holder, but they are identical, so you can simply print 2 of the same part.
