5 Reasons Why I Like The Hohem iSteady X Smartphone Gimbal

[@Tashas_Travels]

Thank you very much for this video. I’m saving up for this gimbal. Definitely getting it and will tag you when i do. Much love from Zambia 🇿🇲

[@techtravels401]

Even before I watch your video, I have already ordered it

[@SteveH-TN]

Thanks waiting for my Hohem isteady to arrive. Great review

[@EMTFILMS]

Congratulations on your iSteady! Glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate your time!

[@ulisesnuno429]

when the comparison of osmo 3 vs smooth x ?

[@nonono531]

FYI this gimbal in portrait mode does come into view of the lens with the iPhone 13 pro max. You’ll have to hold the handle off to the side to fix this but this gimbal has such a short tilt range that you can accidentally start tilting it when you do this. This gimbal needs the tilt addressed imo, the short range causes it to start forcing tilt if you move up or down too much rather than keeping the phone straight up and down no matter what mode you’re in.

[@EmilEkstroms1]

Do anyone know how to fix red blinking light and when i try to firmware upgrade it says firmware update failed please help me

[@Todaymma]

bro sick review, will this hold the iphone 11 max pro???

[@Seedhe-Saadhe-Akshay-Akshay]

Thank you so much for the valuable review, I just ordered for this Gimbal 2 days back and after watching a few of the reviews it feels like i made the right choice and will not regret my decision... Cheers and god bless

[@markswishereatsstuff2500]

I was overwhelmed by all the choices while researching gimbals and just took a stab at this because of the price. Glad this worked out.

[@dibomanhazel]

Can you make a video showing the use of isteady xe and when to use the right mode and what for..thank you

[@nandish8357]

hi can i use filmic pro app with anamorphic lens with isteady x ? Does hohem support all modes in filmic pro

[@EJSMMediaFilms]

Nice video. 🤟🏼 @EMT can I use this gimbal with the iPhone X and anamorphic moment lens?

[@mattchan2897]

Great video does it balance an iPhone 11pro max and moment lens?

[@aaenglishvlogs2240]

Yes my friend using

[@salvadorriosjr.2506]

I just bought the DJI osmo mobile 3 just days ago. I really like it but I wish I saw this as another option to choose from. If I ever need something smaller this would be a good choice.

[@EMTFILMS]

Congratulations on the Osmo! It is a great gimbal. The iSteady X is definitely a bit smaller but if you already have the OM3 you're set! Thanks for sharing your time with me! 🤘🏼

[@salvadorriosjr.2506]

EMT awesome man thanks for settling that debate for me. I really do like the Osmo it’s been really fun shooting stuff around the house. I like your videos too man thanks for all the info.

[@king6463]

wow! finally found it,sold my Moza Mini mi for the Smooth Q2 for the portability alone but the motors keep getting in my shots when using lenses ,this Hohem Isteady seems to solve my problems..will be ordering when I sell my gimbal for sure

[@EMTFILMS]

Glad you liked the video! Definitely a preferred gimbal for that portability! Thanks for stopping by! 🤘🏼

[@BornIntoThis20]

I got the same motor problem with S10e and Smooth Q2 with both wide and ultra wide lens. Wich phone did you use? Hope this one does fix it finally but I want to be sure. Most gimbal reviews are with iphones it seems...

[@king6463]

@@BornIntoThis20 I use the oneplus 7 pro with the smooth Q2.I just discovered this one has a small limitation that bothers me as well,can't change the gimbal modes without using their camera software. I often use third party camera apps like Filmic pro so this is an issue

[@BornIntoThis20]

@@king6463 Hehe I'm using Filmic pro too and asked Hohem by mail if they plan to release a firmware update later to get the change mode with buttons. They didn't answer about that in their mail... Maybe last option is Osmo mobile 3? Zhyiun smooth X is only 2 axis gimbal..

[@mrrbb2028]

I didn't get a notification that you had a new video. Wow YT 😩. Glad I checked out your vids. I enjoy your reviews. What is the best phone gimabl in your opinion?

[@EMTFILMS]

Thanks for stopping by! I think the perfect gimbal is a moving target based on specific needs. Currently I’m using the iSteady X, DJI Osmo Mobile 3 and Smove Mobile. They all have their pros and cons but it’s a matter of personal preference. They will all stabilize but the extra features is what can make it perfect for you. What kind of videos are you looking to make?

[@chrisrunning9510]

Can you use it with older phones like the IPhone 8 plus

[@JeromeD19]

Hi EMT! You seem very enthusiastic about using this gimbal. Have you tried it using a smartphone microphone (Rode or other)?

[@RishabhKumarRoy]

i am using this since a year reason i bought this:- light weight , compact design, good battery life , can use ultrawide lens(landscape only)

[@MarkAndrewAnderson]

Great review, love the content. I have the DJI Mobile 3 and really like it, but the lightning port for my iPhone 11 Pro Max gets in the way if I wanted to connect a Shure MV88 mic directly into the lightning port. From looking at your video it appears the Hohem would work with the lightning port on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Any thoughts?

[@elliotstern8582]

Did you try with moment lenses?

[@RabbiCBA]

Thanks for your thorough review. Can I use this Gimbal (or any other) while doing a FB or KZbin Livestream - and just use the basic stabilizer settings to position the Gimbal?

Hey sir, which one is better in terms of features and quality, DJI OM 4 or Hohem isteady X?

[@rappere11]

Great video as always. Does this gimbal have way points to program moves automatically? For selfie does it switch the camera or rotate the gimbal? Does the app enable you to remotely operate it? thanx robert

[@EMTFILMS]

No remote capabilities so far but it does have time lapse auto rotation. The Smove Mobile has this autorotation option and they just updated their app on Android.

[@SkunkWorks2001]

EMT Buy time lapse autorotation do you mean it will pan while taking a time lapse?

[@shobansai2k419]

Do a comparison between zhiyun smooth 4 vs isteady x bro

[@ryanquinn5195]

Hey man nice vid btw. Wondering if you've seen the new smartphone gimble from Zhiyun I believe it's called theSmooth-X.

[@EMTFILMS]

Yes just saw it! I'm looking forward to testing it out but it looks more like a selfie stick with auto rotation than a full blown gimbal. Still interested in checking it out!

[@jaymccleary4845]

[@RockWILK]

Thanks for sharing. I've been looking for the best gimbal for my LG V40, I'm about to work on a film using just my phone, and this is the first company that simply says it supports all Android phones with no compromise. The main thing I am looking for is the tracking,,, I'll be using the camera app in the V40 most of the time, and so... thanks for the video, you sold me! ;) Stay safe, wherever you are, and keep up the great work. Peace.

[@stevenshomler01]

Love you stuff! Does this gimbal work with an 11 Pro Max and a moment lens?

[@ruthun]

Also didn't get a notification. Thanks for the insights. So cheap for this gimbal...:)

[@EMTFILMS]

Definitely the price is a huge selling point for me! Thanks for sharing your time with me! 🤘🏼

[@immanuel86]

Nice review. Comparing this to Zhiyun cinepeer c11, which is ur preferred gimbal?

[@EMTFILMS]

This one for sure since the design doesn't obstruct ultra wide camera.

[@midrewph926]

Yoh whats up Ed! great review again!

[@EMTFILMS]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘🏼

[@GrzegorzBojanek]

For me the crucial question is - does it support iPhone 12 MINI. That would be a really minimalistic setup. Still - the 12 mini is not listen on their webpage. Has anybody tried it with iPhone 12 mini, especially with the wide lens?

[@JoeBlackcosplay]

In my particular case I prefer hohem vs Osmo 3, 60 fps on android works and O3 does not, only for IOS

[@QOJOQAY]

Wow! this is great. Thanks a lot for this video. Been checking out videos on mobile Gimbals for about 2 weeks now. I wanna get one of these. But i don't know how to, especially in these Covid19 times. I've never bought an item outside Ghana, so i'm having trouble with that too. If there's a way this could get to me, please do let me know. I wish i could have someone buy it and have it delivered to me right here in Ghana. Thanks and please do lemme know how to go about this👍

[@EMTFILMS]

Ou might be able to find it through a distributor or a 3rd party shop. Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤘🏼

[@thelionsden5771]

[@thelionsden5771]

I just rewatch your video seems it should hold the lens. I just ordered!

[@Arestas25]

Nice video 👌👍. The stability is better than Zhiyun Smooth q2 and Hohem isteady mobile plus??

[@EMTFILMS]

I think the stabilization is on par with the Osmo Mobile 3 and I think is a fantastic option when compared to the Smooth Q 2 id using ultra wide lenses. Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤘🏼

[@Arestas25]

@@EMTFILMS I'm convinced in that case since I was looking for to buy the Zhiyun Smooth q2... Low weight, foldable design, strong motors and portability are the way to go nowadays 😉!! Really appreciate your help and advice 👍

[@dragonemperor4eva]

I want to get a isteady but i would also need to get a mic as i have a huawei p30 lite and the sound on it isn't great so for me as a beginner what mic would you recommend bearing in mind i am on a very tight budget hence why i want the isteady, also what equipment would i need to attach to the isteady in order to connect the mic to the isteady and phone?

[@elliotstern8582]

I hope they do some upgrades to the app. No 24 frames a second, no choice of lenses on Iphone Pro max, no exposure or iso control. But it sure is simple to work with, small, light, and fits in a Moment phone sling with lenses, tripod and small light. Fun to use.

[@markdouglas8073]

Would the Osmo software let you choose the lens?

[@seanhomar5945]

Saw this on amazon for £58, so started watching reviews on it, at that price and being very comparable to dji gimbals I couldn't turn it down. I'd love a dji gimbal but price is out of my reach right now and only able to afford this one due to a little bonus in my pay from work.

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

Would you choose this over the dji Osmo mobile 3, if price is out of the equation? Asking more in terms of stabilization, holding angle, functionality

[@EMTFILMS]

It’s a tough one! The payload capacity is definitely a plus on the iSteady X and the price is very appealing. The robustness of the DJI Mimo and the integration of the Osmo Mobile 3 with 3rd party apps like Moment Pro Cam are a big factor but both are fantastic options. It comes down to your specific needs. If you’re starting or not interested in the “pro” stuff on the DJI Mimo app/others then the iSteady X is where I’d go. 🤘🏼

[@csabaszili1569]

Hello! If you turn off the phone's own stabilizer, will the video still be nice and stable?Unfortunately, in most tests, they test the gimbal by turning on the phone's factory stabilizer!I'd be curious to see how the gimbal performs on its own! With a phone that doesn't come with a stabilizer!

[@elliotstern8582]

How would you compare this to the Dji osmo 3 which I currently own. I am always looking for more minimal with great functiohality.

[@EMTFILMS]

The major plus for the iSteady X is portability. Having said that the DJI Mimo app is more robust and tracking is a bit better on the Osmo side if you where to need that. Hope all is well! 🤘🏼

[@StephenEastwood]

Great video! How would this compare to the Osmo Mobile 3? I see its smaller, has a higher payload capacity, but does it do as good of a job?

[@EMTFILMS]

It does perform very well! Stabilization and portability are great. Software wise the DJI Mimo app is more robust for those who need that but I feel people who might just want to capture could enjoy the iSteady X for the great price point. Hope this helps! Thanks for sharing your time with me! 🤘🏼

Honestly they’re both great but I do like that the Moza Genie app doesn’t have a timer and you could automatically zoom in or out on the Mini MI. I feel the iSteady X is great for users who just want to capture on the go. Mini Mi is a bit more robust for those looking to make adjustments and set up the shot! Hope this helps! Stay safe! 🤘🏼
