Great product, does exactly what it should. Adds a lot of value to your videos, highly recommended!
Really enjoying using this. I make YouTube videos and really new to the Gimbal technology. I find this easy to us and brings professionalism to my shots. It’s also light weight and easy to carry around which makes it more convenient to use.
Whilst Hohem’s gimbal app is relatively custom and proprietary and doesn’t have any support for more standard applications such as Filmic Pro, I’m not personally bothered by this fact, since it produces quality footage. The firmware is all that matters to me and it has solid firmware
The only genuine problem I have had with it is the lack of grip on the joystick.
Pros:
Motors in the gimbal are very quiet and almost produce no sound, if they do then the recording device doesn’t pick it up
Perfect size for phones, I am using an iPhone 11 Pro Max which is the heaviest and largest iphone as of now, and it holds and fits the phone perfectly
There is a very useful manual that tells you everything you need to know about how to use it and when to use the different modes, the company have uploaded youtube videos to accompany the manual for an easier setup
Cons:
Not many bad things about the product. Maybe the app that accompanies it could be updated to be more user friendly.
The handle could have a better grip by changing the material, right now it feels as if it could slip out of my hand at any time
A bit disappointed that there were no other colours available, would’ve been nice to have some choice
Very happy with the product. Good build quality. Works well with iPhone 11pro.
I recommend.
Isteady mobile is great to not have any video shakeness when used filming with hand this helps a lot and is good for filming actions that wont come out blury when using this device
The gimbal is really easy to set up and use. It’s the best bang for your buck.
The materials and controls all feel very premium and well built.
And the app is much better than expected, compared to some other reviews.
I’m not a tech person, I just wanted a “selfie stick” without the camera shaking, does exactly what it says on the tin, from a non professional, I’m very happy with it.
Exactly what I was looking for. As a film fanatic this device ticks every box.
Amazing gimbal! As is the photos and videos .. I have been waiting for you for a long time! … Excellent videos tutorials recommended!
The product is amazing and i found it easy to use, i looked for the YouTube channel for mor info and it was so helpful.
I highly recomend it to any beginner who is starting out filming.
Great job.
Got this in the black Friday sale at a bargain price. Seems to work really well and is very easy to use especially after watching the short instructional video on YouTube.
Excellent piece of kit for beginners using their mobile phone to create professional content. I had to return mine and order a new one because I was having problems with the motor but for the price, I can’t complain. Never been soo excited about receiving a package hahaha
A Fantastic gimbal I have received from Amazon,easy to use,best quality of video and live recording.I have ordered in the night and received it in the morning,Excellent service from Amazon.Thank You Amazon.
This one is much longer than most, although that may be less convenient for some, this is much better for me and my big hands. This one also has a butt for the phone to go up against when setting it up which means it’s always the same and doesn’t take long to balance at all
It syncs really well with my Google pixel xl 3 and can even use it to take the actual picture from physical buttons which is quite unusual with Google phones that it actually works, the added bonus of a tripod is almost standard with these gymbals however the added case on this one is a big bonus as previous ones have all been lose
Overall it ticks more boxes, even though I didn’t know more needed to be ticked.
If you appreciated the review then please click helpful below
With just a little bit of playing around and reading the instructions, I had the gimbal up and working, tracking my head and giving my videos a much higher quality of production even on the move.
Brilliant item. Really easy to use and produces stunning, drone like footage. Very impressed, thank you!
Fantastic service, and product. Unlike some of the reviews, I’m using this gimbal with an iPhone 11 Pro without any issues. Can only assume the app issue which has been mentioned a couple of times, is now a thing of the past!
First experience with a Gimbal, and it looks very good quality for the money!
Wanted something to use in the gym that will allow me to take videos when I’m coaching clients or when I’m training. Really easy to use and the updated Hohem Gimbal app for the iOS has really great features. If this is your first gimbal don’t hesitate the investment.
It comes in an excellent shock-case, it’s lightweight and easy to travel with or put in your pack for a day’s walk in nature. I’ve been able to record whole meditation videos in a forest with my smartphone and the gimbal, in ways I never would be able to acheive with just a tripod. Provided you move slowly, the footage is perfect for social media or anything less than highly professional. It’s light enough to be able to hold for a long time, moving around the viewscape.
I was impressed by how easy it was to get started – the quickstart video on YouTube is really excellent. And there are many other instructional videos to help you get much more from the product. I think with any gimbal you’d need to familiarise yourself with how to use it before trying to figure it all out from scratch and HoHem have done a good job here.
I found the software a great surprise. I wasn’t really expecting to get face or object tracking, nor such variations on how you could stablise the phone – any possible combination of left-right freedom, up-down freedom, rotational freedom. It’s also very easy to switch between these while filming.
The software also gives you huge capabilities for adjusting your phone’s camera settings – far more than I’ve had time to investigate so far.
Finally, the battery in the stabliser lasts for many, many hours, and furthermore, has rescued me by providing power to my phone when it began to run out.
So, for 89, this has been a most excellent purchase. Thanks to the team who have put so much effort into making this an excellent product!
With so much competition, it’s nice to find a product that exceeds ones expectations. I highly recommend this gimbal.
Took this to italy and used it the whole time. It is sturdy and well made. It took a little time to get used to the controls but I mastered it. The video footage is clear and steady. A great gadget for a great price.
It’s great for an amateur and enables some real professional looking content. The app is the only thing that let’s it down slightly
Battery life is incredible, charged holds well. I love that it comes with a detachable tripod which makes setup much easier as well as offering an option to film static shots with the phone.
This is pretty impressive for the money. I was dubious when I bought it for my iphone xs max.
It works really well, syncs up pretty easy and literally does what it says on the ti
This is an exceptionally easy to use gimbal. It works precisely as it should giving smooth, clean shots. Just one thing to watch for; in portrait position, the gimabl arm can easily get in the way of the rear facing camera but absolutley no problems in lanscape mode.
I really loved the stabiliser I got. Its very well made. The design is amazing and simple to use. Many features which name the final product look so much more professional. Recommend for sure
Excellent product
Well made and very easy to set up
Video stability brilliant and options very good
Battery life 12 hours amazing
This is a great product and for the money what’s not to like?
Turning my family shots into big screen movies.
App works well and this is so easy to set up with one touch.
Holds my iPhone 11pro max with ease.
Received item today. For the money 89 it is a really really nicely made product. Good materials , smooth operation. All the materials feel sturdy and made from good quality parts. In operation it is simple to use and gives excellant (in my experiance) results. My super slow motion shots have never looked more stable and sharp.
This is my first product from this company , I bought it based on good reviews and am pleased to not be disappointed at all. Will definitely look out for products from this company if they are all as nicely made and work as well as this does.
Genuinely very happy with this product. It has excellent build quality and looks a lot more expensive than it is. The app is a lot better than I was expecting too. A must have for beginners.
This Gimbal was my first ever gimbal and it is easy to set up. I was initially worried about investing in something like this, but it has taken my filming up to another level. Definitely worth the purchase if your new to the game.
When it arrived, I was impressed by the carry case that it came in. Molded to the shape of the gimbal, it is handy to store the device when not in use, although it wont be strong enough to protect from heavy falls.
The gimbal itself looks to be of a really good build quality – far more solid than I expected from something at this price point. It is well weighted but not too heavy to carry. I have an iPhonw 6X Plus and iPhone XR and the arm was fine to hold this. The only issue was the external mic that I have bought. On the 6, the headphone jack is still there, so I can easily plug it in. But for the XR, I have to use the lightning port and that is blocked. I might try some of the unitversal weights to see if I can balance the phone while the lightning cable is plugged in and will update if that works.
Overall, it is just the app that is a bit of a let down. You can use the gimbal without the app, but for things like zoom control and admin features such as software updates, you need to use this and it is not as friendly as it could be.
However, for 89 it works really well, gives great results (far better than trying to hand-hold). Inception Mode looks really impressive and used sparingly can really add interest to your videos. Overall, I am really pleased with this and would recommend.
Awesome so far, just issue connecting external mic to samsung s9 whilst its connected to the gimball.
Ordered this after looking at several gimbles. It arrived quickly and was so simple to set up and to use.
I bought this to vlog a Cosplay trip to Japan. Other than my phone’s camera being in the centre of the device and sometimes catching the gimbal in frame, this is the perfect companion, with auto stabilisation, face tracking, full remote controls and 4k support, the gimbal and app work well together.
A great entry and mid level gimbal
This is an extremely satisfying product to buy. So happy with the results for filming with my iPhone. The handling when filming is so smooth and precise it has brought my videos to more of a professional standard. So worth the money.
Really easy to use, the quality of this product is exceptional!
Really happy with the purchase 🙂
I am more used to still videos (usually on a tripod), so it took me some time to set up and get used to it. After a few tests it’s easy to use it.
The made with light but steady material, and it did hold my iPhone Xs Max securely.
My only issue is that I cannot used with the phone case, what leaves the mobile rather vulnerable to fall and crashes. Whenever I did keep the case, bearing in mind that mine is only 1mm thick, it compromised the balance.
I love the nice case for it is good for protection and storage.
It won’t make miracles. If you shake, it’ll shake. However, it really smooths rough movements and if you already have a steady hand, it will give a professional touch to any homemade video.
Pros:
Price
Battery Life
Sturdy Plastic Grip
Holds large iPhones
Motion Time-Lapse Is outstanding
Face/Object Tracking
Can be used as a battery back-up for your phone
Shoots both Horizontal and Vertical Video
Heavy duty plastic
Cons:
Mobile app could be better
Cannot attach microphone while filming
Vertical filming only works with forward facing camera
The included tripod is rather frail.
Cannot use filterer, lens or even phone case because will cause unbalance.
I’m really enjoying the Gimbal product, it was very easy to set up and use right away, I cannot wait to go on holiday and take amazing videos.
Great product and ease of use, have lots of fun already with trial shooting after received.
The gimbal is solidly built and quite weighty. The motors are totally silent. Battery life is outstanding – I’ve never got close to running it down while shooting. In fact you can use the gimbal’s internal rechargeable battery as an emergency power source should one of your other devices run out of battery.
I read one review on here where somebody complained about the motion going crazy and almost injuring his fingers. Something like that happened to me in the early days, but I’d been walking around, not shooting, and letting the gimbal hang freely while switched off. So the various axes would rotate randomly and when I switched it on they had to sort themselves out to get each motor zeroed. Just something you need to be aware of – always carry it in the supplied case and you won’t have any issues like that.
There’s a couple of things I’m not keen on. When you switch it on you need to level the gimbal with your phone attached. This is done by loosening a screw and pulling or pushing the arm away from or towards the centre of the gimbal until your phone is horizontal. This is a very delicate movement and a tiny change in position has a big effect on the balance. This would be much better if the retaining screw had some kind of rack and pinion mechanism so you would just turn it a bit and it would position the arm smoothly and save a lot of frustration.
I find the joystick control for moving the camera up/down, left/right to be a bit overenthusiastic, so a small press in one direction results in a big movement of the gimbal – I would like to see slower motion and some kind of easing on the acceleration/deceleration.
Finally, I found the app that controls the gimbal to be quite basic in terms of camera controls (my phone is a Sony Xperia XA2) – I haven’t found out how to lock focus/exposure etc, so that can sometimes cause problems in my footage. It might interact with other phones more effectively, I don’t know.
To sum up, this is a great value product for the price.
I really like this product because of how great my photos and videos look even with an iPhone. I love the features like the 360 panorama, and variety of modes to use. The app is comprehensive as well with loads of features. The balancing takes a while to master but nothing a little trial and error won’t fix. Would recommend, especially you want to get going with your photo/videography skills!
I did a lot of review comparissions between competing gimbals and this one popped up on a lightning deal.
I did look at some youtube footage on setup and use and found it is pretty straight forward, just remember that blue tooth connectivity must be done through the app to get functions to work.
The unit feels sturdy and is comfortable to hold. I initially tried some of the video trickery functions at the kitchen table, time lapse, inception mode etc. just to get familiar with the operations.
I took this to the park and followed my grandchildren on all types of terrain as well as playing on children’s play area equipment.
Well, the resultant footage looked as though I was following them on rails, the movement was just so smooth!
Price wise, I am well impressed at what I have got.
Time will tell about reliability but it does look well built.
So far no regrets and would recommend this gimbal.
Very simple and easy to set up and use
Came charged
Not very techy myself so glad it’s that simple
So easy to use very quick to set up with excellent results can’t fault it brilliant bit of kit more than happy with the purchase and the results
I works good. Didn’t have a check it on my trips, but try use it at home. Do a job. Works fine and soft.
Nice product to keep your video’s stable.
Bought this gimbal as a simple to use assist for projecting live video to a large screen without obvious shake or jerkiness, and it succeeds. Some nice features with Bluetooth connection to control your phone. Only negatives are that a large phone can catch the frame, but only at the extreme edge of movement and the clamp covers the charging port of the phone, so charging really needs to be done away from the gimbal, neither causes any issues for me.
This Gimbal is a great stabiliser for novice videographers and photographers like me. It’s a very sturdy piece of kit, removes almost all shake and offers great quality pictures consistently. It’s really easy to get a hand of with the handbook it comes with.
Purchased as a present for our 11 year old son to partner with his Android One powered phone, and the results are impressive.
He loves the face tracking, 360 panoramic pictures, inception mode. The only downside of this creativity is that he is now requesting pro editing software!
Highly recommended.
I am a total beginner with this device never having used one before, but I found it easy to set up and once I got used to the sensitivity of the control, much easirt to use than I had imagined. This device is well balanced and of exceptional quality for the price. I am well pleased with it.
Face tracking did not work at all. In normal mode (not tracking) unit would very slowly pan right meaning I had to readjust the pan back to the right every 30 seconds or so.
*Update*
Very good customer service.
Replacement recieved. Review amended to 5 stars for now pending testing of replacement.
Great entry-level gimbal at an awesome price. Easy to use out the box with plenty of instruction to be found online.
Very easy to setup and get started, simple and effective to use.
And value for money is amazing, can’t think there’s a lot in this price range with these features and quality.
As a first time user I’m happy and finding it great fun, very easy set up nice build, all the settings are done it nearly a plug n go, good to see the reviews match the product.
Great product for the price. It comes 3/4 charged and connects through the phone by app easily.
Once set up it is so easy to use. Creates wonderfully smooth shots and makes vlogging outcomes much more professional. Follow the easy to use set up instructions to ensure your initial set up is correct then off you go. Cheaper then other similar offerings and has been great for me – fits my iPhone 6S plus.
Very easy to use and set up, it connects to the phone through Bluetooth. The stabilizer works amazingly as well as its motion-tracking program. The battery lasts quite a while, so if you go on a day trip you can record without a problem. Can’t complain at all.
Had a professional videographer look at the videos i shot on my phone using this and he was impressed. Loads of fun to use.
Genuinely don’t understand these reviews, not sure if it was user error or not but I really doubt as I’m pretty tech savvy and do lots of filming on different devices, this honestly made my footage so much worse and is completely counter intuitive. It also lags so if you try and operate on two different axis it takes a while to catch up and then creates a sharp judder affecting the footage. Sent back for refund and will look elsewhere. Maybe I got the settings wrong but I did a lot of research on settings and don’t think I was doing anything out of ordinary
Efficient delivery and easy to set up with clear instructions. Great value for money in terms of this type of technology. Really looking forward to making videos in even better quality!
My daughter very quickly got the hang of it and now uses it all the time.
I did a lot of research into buying one of these and ultimately this product came out tops and cost less.
Its for a big sailing holiday planned soon so not yet tested but I’m looking forward to doing so
I am an amateur videographer and I wanted to buy a gimbal for my upcoming trips. After comparing and analysing in detail all the options available, I decided to go for this one. I must admit that I am very happy with it! I have tested a few times and it has always met my expectations. It does what it says: good stabilization, decent follow, good flexibility to configure the settings (rotation speed, zoom speed…). On top of that, it was easy to get used to it and it is very user friendly.
The biggest drawback so far is that it took me a while to connect it to the app (you need to turn on the location, it won’t work otherwise). But after that it works well. I hope it will continue to work as well for some years.
Have a friend who has one of these and he was telling me about how easy and smooth they make your shots. Super easy to use and come with loads of support; booklet and youtube channel with help videos. Arrived in a very slick protective case inside a box, very sturdy feel and works like a charm. Love it!
Only used this once and it broke.
Good customer service and refund offered.
Will be re-buying a replacement of the same type as has a real good feel to the gimble.
I have a great phone, and the two together make taking pix or video a pleasure!!
Lots of YouTube vids to help u along ur way!
My isteady mobile gimbal has impressed me by far. Absolute extraordinary device. The inception mode has to be made favourite. Many features included even though its $99. Best gimbal ever due to features and price. I’ll give it 10/10 without hesitation.
I wanted to get into videography as a hobby and this product was perfect start.
Very well built and intuitive to use.
i wanted a product that would help me stabilise my video shoots and make some good panoramic photos on my travels.
I use a samsung galaxy s9+ so is at the top end of the max weight, it handles it 95% there can be a slight calibration offset but a quick tap of the trigger solves this. But i think thats the size of my phone not a problem with the product.
it reacts really nicely with the phone and the transitions and movement is really smooth. i really like the moving timelapses, it can create a really good video!
The motors are strong and generally the product is really well built. all the buttons have good response and they can be calibrated in the app to quicken the functions of the joystick ect.
overall extremely happy with this product it easy to set up, good value, sturdy and i highly recommend it!
Creating some really great videos with this. Looking forward to using it on holiday. Very professional piece of kit.
The tripod is a nice feature too. It means you can use the gimbal for FaceTime or selfie videos. It has multiple tripod anchor points for portrait/landscape views.
The zoom control is flipped i.e. “T” for telephoto is “wideangle” and “W” for wide-angle gives you a telephoto zoom, but that’s a very minor quirk and easy to get used to.
The 180 and 360 degree mode photos are wonderful. I wish I had some use for them because they’d look great!
Best stabilizer on amazon, good value for money. Works great with my p30 pro and plan to use it for recording shots on my holiday
I like the very smooth operation, seamless motion without shakes especially when using video camera, also the material is sturdy. Two things are, hohem gimbal app has limited features like missing slo-mo when using video camera, but I just used my own S10 camera features, so basically I’m just using it’s gimbal operation. Second is the price point which I think is a bit pricey even on sale. Last minor comment is, it didn’t come with its own dedicated charger but it’s ok cos you can use your mobile phone charger. The rest of its features are excellent.
The gimbal feels good and solid and provides a good fluent motion when recording. The gimbal also comes with a custom-fitted case ensuring the longevity of the product, topped off with an additional 90-day warranty for free! (15 months total)
Amazing little gadget. Well worth the money. Good build quality and very easy to use. Working through the functions and amazed at how much tech is available for such a great price.
Overall very happy with this purchase, the warranty is 15 months and can be extended for a further 90days by submitting your order number to Hohem to verify purchase. Quick and easy to set up out of the box, solid quality and able to get great looking video shots easily.
I brought this item for my daughters sports day and I found it very easy to use however the app is a little complicated if you’re not a tech person like myself. I would highly recommend this it is definitely one of the best accessories I’ve brought for my for iPhone .
I got this yesterday, and let’s say I am not the most Tech savvy guy out there. I have found it easy to use and a great product. I did have to go to you tube for instruction videos but I think that is more for me than the product. VERY GOOD. Seller had it out to me quickly.
I love it, and here’s why……..
Firstly, the gimbal is very well made, lightweight and comes complete with a carry case, an important extra which will make a big difference when I use it later in the year on holidays and other filming. The controls are well laid out and easy to operate while keeping a grip of the device. It came abiut 75% charged, but I still followed the instructions and charged it up to 100%, which took less than 20 minutes. Once charged, and downloaded the app onto my Samsung S9+ (very easily) I set about balancing my phone on the gimbal (before turning the gimbal on – THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, mentioned several time on the instruction video’s and booklet, do please don’t ignore). Balancing took seconds and I was ready to go, bluetooth all connected, time to start filming and playing………
The operation is very smooth, and I struggled to hear the motors going. You can do everything from the controls on the gimbal but you can do even more my selcting options on your screen phone if you want to, once I got to grips with the basic controls, I had to play with this one of thes gimbals best features, the inception mode. This works brilliantly and allows you to film a revolving shot – look at the many youtube explanation video’s for more information. And on the subject of youtube, the manufactures have loaded up lots of useful how to guides, instuctions and tips, so make some time to watch as many of these as you can, it makes using the gimbal a lot easier, if it wasn’t easy enough already, and you will get much more enjoymant out of your gimbal.
For value for money, this is a no brainer, I honestly beleive this is the best gimbal you can buy for less than 100, yes there are cheaper ones, and yes there are better ones (that cost a lot more) but from the reviews I sam from users of other gimbals, they nearly all said this was the best value for money gimbal out today.
Happy with my purchase and if you buy one of have one too I hope you have as much fun with your as I have had and intend to have over the summer and beyond.
Thanks for reading.
I like the weight and the functions.
The only thing that can improve is the length of the handel
I like the feel and overall mechanics of the gimbal. Easy to use and improves recording immensely.
I got this having returned a faulty DJI Osmo Mobile 2. This certainly has more feature and is as simple to set up. I had a little trouble with Bluetooth link, but Forget Device and re pairing set it up faultlessly. Highly recommended.
If you are a perfectionist this product is definitely for you. Its compact and dynamic design makes video movements a lot more cleaner and smoother which will make your masterpieces look more professional. The only thing that would change is the lack of variety in languages in which the instructions are, specifically Spanish. However, in general I’m delighted with this phone stabiliser.
but great once set up.
It has all kind of cool features- One thing that I couldn’t figure out was how to connect it with my phone … haha, It is actually pretty easy- Just select the right GIMBAL image on the home page of the app and you should be up and ready.
Also, make sure you download the right app -just use the link provided they have lots of devices.
One thing to a note-if you are a newbie like – Watch tutorial videos on how to set it up because you might damage it.
Very light and easy to use especially for a guy like me who can get confused on new tech.
If you are on a budget and you need a gimbal -that is by far the best one I could find for the price.
