hohem iSteady Mobile Plus Kit Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer, 3-Axis Phone Gimbal w/Fill Light, 360° Infinite Rotation, Max Payload 280g, Android and Phone Stabilizer for YouTube TikTok Video Vlogging

Great for recording and taking single shots. It really stabilizes the camera so your pictures nd videos come out professional looking. App was easy to load. Thank you for the great product built strong and I love the case

Was surprised that the unit came with a case. The instructions could be a little clearer for the setup yo the application. But once setup works great!

Battery would not hold a charge after 2 days

This was my first introduction to gimbals. The price was great compared to others and I ordered it with the idea of it being the one. I think it's a great little gimbal that does a lot of things well.I like that it has a 360 degree range, I like the sturdy tripod, and I like the way it feels in my hand. I like that there is a light that easily attaches to the holder. It has great features for what I paid and more features than one I bought that is almost twice the price. However, I am going to return it.The reasons I am returning it - 1) It's not easy to get my iPhone 12 Pro Max to balance due to the way the phone has to be placed into a resting spot at the end. 2) It would not balance at all the case on my phone. Removing the case is the biggest issue for me because I don't want to have to do that every time I use it. 3) This one is quite large and would require me to carry a larger bag around if I wanted to take it with me on a hike or sightseeing tour.If you don't have the budget for a more compact gimbal and really need one, I do highly recommend this one as a first gimbal!

Using with a Google Pixel 8 - instructions in the box say to pair with the "Hohem Joy" app but even though the gimbal is already paired with my phone over bluetooth, the app tells me "the bluetooth on my phone is not enabled". Okay.... so I go to YouTube to look up tutorials and figure it out and run across several for the exact same model (iSteady Mobile+) that say to download the "Hohem Gimbal" app. Tried it too and it does seem to connect but the camera is not user inuitive whatsoever (and I'm no tech dummy). I've tried everything between the two apps and can't get the person tracking to work, which is the whole reason I bought it. If all I wanted was a smoother camera motion (which this does provide), I could've gone with a much cheaper option. Was headed here to return but missed my window by 3 days (doh!). Company needs to clean up their app infrastructure and provide better, super clear, training videos on how to connect and set up tracking.

Who knew a smartphone gimbal could totally revamp the way I shoot videos? The hohem iSteady Mobile Plus has been an eye-opener for me. As someone who's just getting serious about creating content, the mix of the magnetic fill light and the gimbal's stability has been a game-changer.Let's talk about the fill light first. The bi-colors are fantastic for someone like me who shoots at all hours. Its very small, but actually quite bright and diffuses nicely if you position it perfectly, for me, about 8 to 12 inches away, the light always seems to hit just right. And the magnetic attachment? Genius. It's like they knew I needed something foolproof.The gimbal itself is sturdy, handling my iPhone without any complaints. The 600° Inception Mode blew my mind – hard to believe you can get those panoramic shots with a simple gimbal? Plus, the 13-hour battery life means I can shoot all day.Only small issue is i had to ditch my bulky phone case when using it but thats not a big deal. But overall, once once I got the hang of it, it was smooth filming from there. Honestly, for the price, the value I'm getting is unbeatable. I'd recommend the iSteady M5s to anyone looking to step up their video game without breaking the bank.

The media could not be loaded. Super cool cellphone gimbal!!! right off the bat, it solved a couple of limitations I experienced with some cellphone gimbals in the past. The most obvious one, the onboard light.The setup was way faster than other brands where I had to install sticky things permanently on your phone...no more.Ultra-Wide shots without the gimbal arm showing up on frame!! just tilt forward and voila.Whenever I did a reveal shot, depending on the situation, I would cast a shadow on the wall or object I used to obscure the frame. I would try the the cellphone light, but it would create a nasty hotspot on near objects before the reveal. The onboard fill light is perfect to softly remove those shadow without over-brightening the wall.Also, thumbs up on the carrying case. I can put it in my backpack without feeling like it's gonna break... and the Bluetooth connectivity to trigger recording from the controls on board was possible even without downloading their app. I recommend it.

I was VERY confused setting up this gimbal (a new concept to me!) and it kept shutting down, turns out - I was doing it wrong. I reached out to customer service via the app and got an immediate response. With my continued confusion they offered to get on a Zoom call with me. I was on a zoom call with someone within 5 minutes and my problem was solved! It was SO incredibly helpful and kind of them to offer this level of service. I will be using the product more this weekend but can already tell this is exactly what I was looking for. The carrying case for the gimbal is nice and sturdy and will easily fit into a bag for travel. I'm super pleased with this purchase so far!
