Note: extension rod/Selfie sticks are banned at many popular tourist spots, including major museums (The Met, MoMA, Smithsonian, Getty), theme parks (Disney, Universal, SeaWorld), and historical sites like the Colosseum.
If plan to use it in popular tourist spots, may want to get one without extension rod.
This is a gimbal with a hidden selfie stick. Shouldn't be a problem if you don't extend it, If gimbals are allowed then you should be fine with this, but they aren't at some places like The Met. Do your own homework

It's a "gimbal" to stabilize video taken with a phone. So yes to any kind of content like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc. It takes the shake out of videos to make them smooth.
It has other uses as well though like maybe you're filming your kids play or you can set it up to follow you and it will move with you. So basically it can give you an extra set of hands to film while it's out as a tripod on your table.

I believe DJI hasn't upgraded the motors in a long time. I have an S25 Ultra and my Osmo Mobile 7P feels barely strong enough to handle that without wavering and jittering. My opinion after having used several of these gimbal models over the years is: I want a strong motor for the best stabilization

1) USB-C port on the magnetic clamp area to charge your phone direct from there (using the gimbal battery of course.
2) Ability to add some counter weights to the mount area
3) Supports phones up to 500g, up from 300g on the 7P, which may be the most applicable to you.
I admit 1&2 are whatever but support a heavier device and the 360 degree turn makes me think I should return the 7P I got last Friday and pay $23 more for this one.
