I recently purchased the Hohem iSteady M6 Gimbal Stabilizer for my iPhone 15 Pro Mac, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results it has delivered. This compact yet powerful gadget has truly transformed my smartphone videography experience. First and foremost, the build quality is impressive. The gimbal feels robust and well-crafted, providing a sense of durability that instills confidence during use. The design is sleek and ergonomic, making it comfortable to hold for extended periods. Setting up the iSteady M6 was a breeze. The user-friendly interface and straightforward calibration process allowed me to get started quickly, even as a relative beginner in the world of gimbals. The accompanying app further enhances the user experience with additional features and customization options. The stabilization performance of the iSteady M6 is nothing short of outstanding. It effectively eliminates shakes and jitters, resulting in smooth and professional-looking footage. Whether I'm capturing fast-paced action or simply panning across a scenic landscape, the gimbal ensures a consistently steady shot. I particularly appreciate the variety of shooting modes offered by the iSteady M6. From the standard pan and tilt modes to more advanced features like time-lapse and motion control, this gimbal provides a range of creative options to elevate my videography to the next level. The joystick controls are intuitive and responsive, giving me precise control over the camera's movements. Battery life is another strong suit of the iSteady M6. I've been pleasantly surprised by how long it lasts on a single charge, allowing me to film for extended periods without the worry of running out of power. Portability is a key factor for me, and the iSteady M6 doesn't disappoint. Its compact size and foldable design make it easy to carry in my bag wherever I go. The inclusion of a carrying case adds an extra layer of protection during transportation. Tady M6 Gimbal Stabilizer has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The iSteady M6 is a fantastic investment that delivers on both performance and value. Highly recommended!

This review is for the gimbal and the AI tracking sensor together. pros: 1. High quality. 2. Incredibly comfortable girth of the phone that does not press the buttons (see first 2 attached photos). 3. Infinity yaw rotation and width angle of pitch rotation. 4. AI tracking works really well when you are at least 2m (6ft) away from the camera. 5. You can use all "freedom" of rotation on horizontal phone position. 6. It can be used as a power bank, and should give you about 5000mAh for standard for smartphones (3.7V). cons: 1. AI tracking cut your face when you are close to the phone - on the video call, for instance. Video is attached to demonstrate this. 2. Sometimes the gimbal starts to vibrate very unpleasant and loudly when you touch the phone. 3. In vertical phone position gimbal doesn't let you use all pitch rotation - when my Pixel 6 centered it blocked to rotate screen down [3], if I lift phone up to fix it [4] it will block other side [5]. This doesn't matter in most cases, but I want let you know. neutral, FYI: 1. Don't forget to balance [1] part, otherwise this motor gets hot really quick and gimbal turns off. 2. Phone clips can be moved left-right and they don't center your phone by default [2]. my story: I originally bought this two devices for two purposes: * The first is to shoot photo spheres on the Pixel. I really love this mode. But it turned out that I spend much more time when using it, and the quality of gluing isn't better. But I wasn't upset - I have another use for it, and in general the device is very high quality and pleasant. I would like to use it. * The second purpose is to help me shoot videos and make video calls. I do it really often. but when I'm at a comfortable distance from the phone (outstretched hand), it cuts off part of my face, you can see it in the attached video. I consider this to be a significant defect in "AI" tracking and would like to return it. I'm upset that I have to do this. Overall, the gimbal is great, despite 2&3 pros. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for "AI" tracker.

Purchased the Hohem iSteady M6 smartphone gimbal to shoot with my iPhone and it's great. The included case is great for packing the setup anywhere, carrying all the accessories I need for a day of shooting. It's secure and soft inside, yet solid enough to feel confident the contents are safe. The app is great. Simple to setup and pair with the gimbal, along with lots of video tutorials showing how to use each feature. Shooting modes are easily selected within the app and controls are well laid-out. Often translation from the Chinese companies making these electronics is lacking, but this app seems well done and I haven't found any spots where they've neglected to translate instructions/functionality to American English. Mounting the phone to the gimbal and balancing it is super easy, once you learn how and takes only a couple seconds. Power it on, launch the app (though you can also use your cameras own photo/video app with more limited features) and you're set. The controls are nicely laid out and easy to switch between from the gimbal itself, or within the app when shooting. The gimbal itself has a great balance between enough weight to make it easy to shoot with and feel solid, without being too heavy to shoot all day long. The ability to charge your phone with the gimbal means longer shoot times (though note that only a USB-C charging cable is included, iPhone users will need to purchase an additional charging cable to do so). Shot quality is great. Compared to other smartphone gimbals I've used, this one is more compact, while offering more shooting modes and fun effects within the app. Tracking is well-done, keeping everything framed, even when high-speed action is on the menu. Overall, this is a great smartphone gimbal and one that makes it easy for amateur content creators to produce professional results. All-day battery life, solid build quality, a polished smartphone app, and attractive price make it a great choice for all levels of user. I highly recommend the Hohem iSteady M6 smartphone gimbal to anyone looking to take their photo and video work to the next level.

I have an iPhone 15 pro max so I don’t need a fancy camera, I have one with the iPhone. I bought this to make it easier to take pictures and videos and FaceTime people. It’s great out of the box. The tripod screws on and makes it a stand. The features are great and the settings are easy to switch to. The app could probably be updated but for the features I need this thing is perfect. I bought a different Hohem gimbal that came with the AI device that clips onto the gimbal. That thing is great and I would recommend buying that if you are going to take videos of you in it. You do a peace ✌️ sign and it starts. You do a wave 👋 sign and it stops. I tried this out a few times and it worked like a champ. The case is also pretty awesome. It holds the gimbal and the AI sensor like a glove. Now if I go to a party of need to take pictures/videos I bring both my phone and the gimbal. Charging it is easy. It uses a USB-C cable. Once I use it more and figure out how to take cool shots I’ll probably become fancy and a movie 🎥 producer. It’s a fun toy to have and I find myself wanting to use it more and more. Buy the AI sensor thing. It’s good for extra light and the tracking shots.

I've been using the Hohem M6 gimbal for a few days now, and I’m really impressed! The setup was pretty straightforward, and it only took me a few minutes to get the hang of the controls. I’m not a professional videographer, but this gimbal definitely makes my videos look a lot more polished and smooth. The stabilization is excellent, even when I’m walking or moving quickly. I’ve used it with my smartphone, and it holds the device securely, without any annoying wobbling. The battery life is decent too—I've managed to get through a whole day of shooting on a single charge, which is super convenient. One thing I particularly like is the variety of modes available. The follow mode is my favorite, as it makes capturing dynamic shots really easy. The app that comes with it is also user-friendly, though I wish it had a few more advanced features. Overall, I’m really happy with the Hohem M6. It’s a solid gimbal that delivers professional-looking footage without breaking the bank. Perfect for anyone looking to up their video game!

Bought the M6 in Jul 2023 and have not used it at all except for some tests at home. Literally, just a few minutes of use. I have another gimbal that I use with a DSLR and did not really want to use my iPhone as a video cam. Until a few days ago as I was thinking of bringing it on a trip. I got the M6 out of the box, the nice case and tested again. It was working fine except for one major problem: the pan axis lock switch kept sliding to the lock position by itself. That switch has a latching bump so it is a mystery how the M6 can just slide it to the lock position by itself. I looked around YouTube and found a guy with an M6 and MT2 with the same problem. The fix is not hard, just lodge something in the switch cavity to prevent it from moving and then tape it up. Nice Mickey Mouse solution for your $200 piece of gear (includes the magnetic tracking sensor/fill light). Hohem has come out with a newer version: iSteady M7. Think hard before purchasing one. That too would have a pan axis lock. As for me, I would never buy a HoHem gimbal again.

Depending on the size of your phone this might be the gimbal for you this gimbal performed better than almost every gimbal I've tried so far And for the price to be honest it's a no-brainer This performed better than some of the expensive gimbals Granted I'm running a heavier setup an iPhone 14 pro Max with 52 mm camera lens attachment Definitely a chore for most gimbals that I've tried But during my shoot today this gimbal took everything I threw at it the only thing that trips it up is turning it upside down but if you're like me and you need that mode from time to time you can turn on PTF mode and then it will somewhat turn upside down it has an issue turning right side up but it will work in a pinch Other than that unlike the zhiyun s5 which granted will perform well turning it upside down without a hitch Just wasn't built to handle a heavy setup like mine But I would purchase this gimbal over that gimbal any day it just performs better simpler to use it doesn't have little hiccups like the S5 does where sometimes you'll turn the gimbal at a certain point and it'll just mess up and you'll lose some footage because of it I don't know what's going to happen long-term but today I had minimal issues except for turning it upside down Every other movement I needed it to do it did it with some exceptions But shooting in a kitchen with people moving extremely fast trying to get access to the shot while everybody's trying to block it and having to change your angle every 3 seconds sometimes this gimbal was impressive in that situation Not perfect but impressive Even turning the phone upside down so that you can have the camera on the bottom and have the camera lens set up still on it it's still will perform without a hitch unlike the hohem mini which literally had a seizure when I tried to do that Luckily I had this as my secondary trial gimbal because it completely saved the day My footage was smooth accurate and with relatively easy to operate If you're thinking about the AI tracking I can attest that it works extremely well I did what I could to try to trip it up even left the building and came back in it stopped and then started right back up as soon as it saw me again Granted the fact that it doesn't use the Bluetooth connection to start recording the video in your native iPhone camera app was disappointing The included light while not being as bright as some of the other lights I've tried the s5 is much brighter did perform adequately to me it's definitely not as bright as I would need typically but in a pinch it's not bad I do like the fact that you can change the temperature or adjust the brightness but unless you're in a very dark environment I don't see you wanting to turn it down considering it's just not bright enough But the functionality is very cool to have on such a cheap gimbal The roll wheel while not being as easy as I wish it was too activate that function does work extremely well once again great addition to such a cheaper option gimbal Granted just because this gimbal costs less does not mean it's cheaply made I do also like the included case I do wish that it had the ability to put the gimbal in at the settings that you need to be able to set it to, to properly balance your device but it's a nice quality Case for the price that you pay This is one gimbal I would recommend purchasing I only hope that they figure out how to stop it from messing up when you try to turn it upside down and of course give us a light that's brighter Other than that the battery performance was also so far pretty good it didn't use that much battery for the shoot that I did granted this was a shorter shoot than normal So as they say only time will tell how it performs from this day forward I will also leave you with the first gimbal I purchased from this company was very defective the battery died very quickly and it just would not perform as good as other reviewers like myself talked about which is the reason why I sent it back and this is the second gimbal I was sent So keep that in mind if you get it deffective one

This is a game changer for anyone making videos with their phone. The auto balancing handle held stand is easy to set up and use. It allows stabilised videos when on the move to capture professional quality videos. I really like thr addition of stand for when I'm recording tiktok videos.

スマホ用のジンバルって結構簡易なモデルが中心でしたが、コイツはカメラ用レベルで取付部をスマホクランプにした形のハイエンド品ですね。 耐荷重400gという殆どのスマホを余裕で対応するシステムで、一般的な200g台のスマホは余裕でぐるぐる回せます。 余裕がある分だけコントロールでの動きがスムーズになってます。 センター調整もちゃんと出来るので、スマホの位置で調整する必要がないのでオプションマウントなどでバランスがずれていても変な位置にスマホをずらす必要無し（スマホのUSB-C直挿しガンマイクを付けて重量バランスがずれていてもクランプ自体は中央のままで本体側の調整で対応可能） また、カメラのコントロールケーブルの様にケーブルを繋げるので回転でケーブルが絡まる心配低め。 操作はダイヤルとスティックがあるのでスムーズな追従が可能です。 三脚穴はクランプのプレート側部とグリップサイドにもあるのでここにアクセサリマウントが可能、距離の長い撮影でのビデオライトやガンマイクなどもOKですね。 ただ、本体部分のマウントは自由な首振りでの撮影には出来ないので、基本的にはブレ取りのみでの場合だけ使える感じになりますので、クランプ側の穴でライトorマイクのいずれかか、拡張アダプタな別途準備などで対応ですね。 値段的にエントリーモデルとそこまで違いは無いけど、機能性としては大きな違いがあり、端的に言ってコスパが非常に高い良アイテムですね。 本キットにはAI追尾ユニットが付いてませんが、別途購入で追加出来ます。 本体が良かったので中華通販で取り寄せましたが9000円位しました。 必要になるなら付いてるセットモデルを買った方がトータルではお安いです。 この追尾ユニットは磁石取付式で前向き、後ろ向きを自由に反転して装着できます。 ライトとしてもスマホ本体LEDよりは十分明るいライトでCCT/RGB切替が出来て本機の左ダイヤルで操作可能です。 そして、このユニットは単体でAI追尾が出来るのでアプリ導入無しに顔追従が可能となります。 スマホホルダにGoProをマウントするアダプタも出回っているので、組み合わせることで本機でアクションカム顔追尾をしたり出来るし、専用アプリであるHohemJoyを使わずに他の配信アプリを使用したままでも顔追尾が可能です。 海外のウェビナーなどの様にステージ上を歩き回ってアピールする様な撮影を一台で行う事が可能ですので、撮影要員が準備できないスモールビジネスや配信者はセットモデルも検討すると良いと思います。

I picked this up for the "Amazon day" price of about 130 quid (which is roughly what it can often be bought for elsewhere) after checking a couple of things with the manufacturer, who were *very* responsive and helpful - indeed, their helpfulness persuaded me to buy it straight away. (A manufacturer who instantly answers questions from someone who isn't even a customer yet gets a huge thumbs-up from me.) What I'd wanted to know before purchase was whether a mobile phone was *necessary* for the thing to work. For anyone wondering the same, it doesn't need a phone, or an app, it works fine totally stand-alone. If you can attach it, and it weighs 600g or less, you can use this to stabilise it. 600g is a fairly hefty phone. The phone holder is adjustable for balance, and it also has a 1/4" female tripod thread for attaching a small arm, mic, or some other non-phone thing (like an action cam, say). There's another tripod thread socket on the 2nd axis arm end, and another on the side of the handle, and a fourth on the bottom of the handle (so you can mount the whole thing on a tripod or rig). The phone mount part is not the easiest to adapt to an arbitrary small camera, but a 3D printed "phone-like" plate with a regular 1/4" screw would do the trick. The stabilising parameters are optimised for an average weight phone. With no load on it (i.e. a really light payload) it tends to vibrate a bit - if you're using it with an SJCAM or something and you get this, just add a bit more weight. The movement is smooth, the device feels (very) decent quality. If using the supported phone camera app, then the follow focus and so on works fine. The "record" button works like a typical bluetooth shutter release so you should be able to start/stop other cam apps. If, like me, you were wondering what the "inception" mode is, it's a thing where it continuously pans through 360 degrees - like in the film "inception", doh. Apparently gimbals all need that, these days. Other modes are arguably more useful for general film-making, though. Default is "pan follow", a kind of partially locked mode where it stabilises (really well) in roll and pitch but the camera follows any pan movement you make with your hand. There's also a fully-locked mode which attempts to keep the camera pointing the exact same way regardless, and a "pan and tilt follow" mode where the camera is only locked for roll. The camera pan and tilt can be offset in any mode using the little joystick. The trigger will re-zero it. The OLED display is clear and informative. There's even a programmable camera movement feature where you set the start and end positions using a couple of buttons and then it will move smoothly from start to end over a settable time. If you're the kind of person who likes to shoot in "portrait" mode (ergh!) then it will do that, too. It has a fairly substantial battery inside, and it will charge your phone or power your GoPro if need be. A nice curly cable for this is included. Also included is a thing that functions either as a handle extension or a mini tripod stand - handy for the auto re-calibration feature. The base kit that I got doesn't include it, but there's a magnetically attached accessory subject-following camera thing that can be fitted on top, and obviously lights etc. can be fitted. Although I was keen to be able to use this with an action cam, in fact, modern phone video camera performance is remarkably good. OK, you're not going to get the authentic look of a fast prime lens on a movie camera if you're shooting with a phone. And phones, action cams, compact system cameras and DSLRs are all typically terrible when it comes to audio. But stick a phone on one of these gimbals and record sound on a compact digital recorder with a decent mic and you could make very passable movies, given sufficient skill. It's hard to get steady shots and smooth. camera movements hand-holding a phone, but this thing improves it dramatically. In summary - I recommend this device, it is well thought out, feels solid and well-made, works really well, and even the associated camera app (needed to make use of the follow focus control) isn't bad.

I'm in the middle of trying to start a sports marketing career in University and these are excellent. I mean really excellent. They're not cheap, but if you want to buy the best of the best I would recommend this company. I did a ton of research going into this because I needed to purchase a couple of these for my team, so I will simplify it quickly. The two best companies in the game are Hohem and DJI. DJI makes really portable and lightweight products, while Hohem makes heavy duty and feature-packed ones. This product has served me excellently. I've never used the app because I didn't want my videos tracked by anyone else, and I think this has held up just as well nonetheless. The optional add-on AI camera works really well and it's on sale all the time so you can get it for less than $50. I highly recommend it because it makes shooting by yourself so much easier. The battery life to these things is also excellent. They will easily outlast my phone on any filming day. They also attach easily to regular camera tripods if you want, because there is a screw in the base where the provided tripod is also attached. It charges fast too, in under a couple hours from completely empty. It uses a basic USB-C charging cable as well. Speaking of which, the tripod is amazing. Absolutely critical feature. When I am shooting I always have it attached to make the handle longer and easier to hold on to. Whenever I need to set it down, bang. Built in stand. Probably the best feature of this whole thing to be honest, I use it at least a couple times a shoot. The case is great too, makes this easy to transport and very safe. The gimbal itself is extremely sturdy and well built. I use an iPhone 15 Pro and it has no problem with the weight. One thing to point out as a recommendation for newbies using this - the first motor sometimes gets in the way of the camera when you are bobbing up and down, so I would recommend twisting it around to be facing you before you do complex movements - just a little tip! Overall this is incredibly easy to use and to pick up, I had all the basics figured out before I even opened the instruction manual. But definitely read the instruction manual, there are tons of pro tricks you can do with this thing that make it even better. If you are looking at one of these, just buy the best upfront. It will make the quality of your videos better, it will last the test of time, and it will keep your device safe. It is totally worth it and I own three now.

I bought my m6 from amazon . Being delivered via Szabto. After 3 months had small problem. They have promised to send me directly a replacement 👍🏻 and I am very happy to say I recieved it Saturday as promised
