Hohem iSteady Pro 4 | Best GoPro Gimbal In 2021

[@billlaut608]

As a brand-new Hero12 owner, this video sold me on why I need a gimbal. Thanks!

[@babyboy1971]

Same! I just got the hero 12 and I really want this gimbal, have you had any issues with it? How are you enjoying it?

[@billlaut608]

@@babyboy1971 I have zero issues. My one complaint is its design, in that you mount it upside-down if you wish to access the camera's USB port. But apart from that, it's been great!

[@atoleranflas6072]

Paused video at 5:06 went to order, and I’m back. Great video

[@RonaldBrown59]

These do come in handy when you want to turn off Hyper-Smooth, so can get better low light video apply some ND filters and get some cinematic motion blur. Great review Shawn, and thanks for sharing.

[@gamingonamacmini2826]

Motion blur sucks

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thanks for the review. We need a Gimbal that will support a mic. GoPro audio is not very good unfortunately.

[@BradThePitts]

My complaint about this product is the little white lights that show which of the 4 modes you are in are too small and too dim. They are impossible to see outside during the day.

[@photographytechman6300]

thank you for this review..finally I have found a gimbal to match my expectations..I’ve had a few and NON of them work with my iphone 13 pro max because of its weight..so this is the next best option to use with my dji action cam..your video swayed me buying one

[@stewshore5508]

Great review, wish you had shown the attachment of the included short cables…every review just mentions the feature but does not demonstrate it. Thx.

[@ConceptHut]

This video definitely sold me on that product. Was considering it but that just looks amazing. Thank you for the detailed breakdown.

[@eddyg1794]

Enjoyed the video very much. The point about the wider field of view should the eis be turned off is well taken. I have an ozmo actin cam so I'm a bit surprised that Hohem didn't offer more firmware and software updates so the unit could be paired with action cams other than gopro.

[@davidpoo66]

I wish you demonstrated inception mode; however love your tutorials.

[@SanVicenteDeChucuri]

Excelente video. Punto en contra. No se puede instalar la Gopro con el case de audio externo, una verdadera falla para bloggers. Por lo demás excelente

[@lutzmix]

osmo action mit boya oder cynova Adapter für ecternes Mikrofon!

[@DanFarrar]

I’m curious about audio options with this gimbal. Great review! Thx

[@lutzmix]

use a osmo action,😁

[@codybrucewilliams]

i am considering one of these to removed the left-to-right and right-to-left micro movements that i can't seem to stop myself from doing. Thank you for the review.

[@DavidMercierPhotographer]

I've tried to stabilize a Hero 11 Black using the Feiyu G6 ( I made a custom bracket, video coming soon), using HyperSmooth with Boost, and using the combination of both. All resulting with the horrendous stabilization JITTERS. The G6 just can't balance properly with an 11 Black but I couldn't figure out why handheld with HyperSmooth was so jittery. Thank you for pointing out that 180° shutter & ND32s are the culprit. I had never heard this before. It always worked great on my MAX 360°, now I understand why... cant use NDs!! Looking at the Hohem now, great review as always brother!!

[@jaysun070476]

Cool looking gimbal like the red and black color scheme. Iam a little sceptical about the quick release. How long will the spring last before it wears out. Usually one would want there expensive camera more secure . Another secondary quick lock would be nice. I ended up getting the zhyiun m2 but i might pick this one up also just for how small it is.

[@MORES1971]

😎Will this Gimbal work with Insta360 IcePro?

[@davidpoo66]

Hi Shawn, I wish you how to calibrate. I don't understand the process😢.

[@WORLDTHEWAYISEE]

Thanks mate, would this work with a media mod on ? Do you know of any gimble which supports attaching gopro media mod ? Cheers.

[@stamatispantsios4380]

I have the same question as I want To use a wireless micro as well.

[@vladimircerovic]

Thanks. Do we have to use hypersmooth along with this gimbal?

[@tana_crz]

Bluetooth is not enabled, and I can't connect to GoPro and iPhone apps. Do you have any such symptoms? Please let me know if there is a solution.

[@CastelhanoAlbi]

Hi. I have a Wolfang GA300 action camera. How do I connect my camera to the gimbal? To record, do I have to manually load to record and then use the Gimbal or can it be connected like the Go Pro? Thanks

[@ManojKumar-mj9yh]

Hello Sir...I have a question.. If Gopro Hero 9 is attached to Mic adapter or Media mod and record with quick capture ..will voice recorded or not??.. Please give me solution or make a video of it for Motovloging

[@lighttv9884]

can we use this gimbal for smartphone? Or is it action cam-only gimbal?

[@vlogonwithaffy6220]

Should I Buy This or Not ? For my gopro 9

[@JavierTamariz]

Can it shoot in vertical/portrait mode?

[@sylas_santana]

up

[@DavidCentaura]

I bought this mainly for Timelapse but seem to only get video motion lapse. I don't get how Timelapse works or not? 30s up to 6hrs motion only, no 2,3,5s settings for actual Timelapse?

[@tejakhan6683]

I want to shoot in low light conditions so I used it with hero 9 with hypersmooth turned off... but the video is not Smooth as i expected. Shakes in the video are visible which gives a feeling of regerting buying this gimbal.

[@stewshore5508]

Great review as usual…keep up the good work.

[@josefmethew9548]

I bought this isteay pro 4... The left joystick was not working, in inception mode 5he gimbal was not fully rotating as well.. if you can help

[@DroneLifeRC]

nice,, I just saw this on amazon and was looking for a video on .. came across yours here,, Im thinking of getting one for my Hero8

[@IsraelZavala]

Great review do you know if this gimbal will let us film in vertical format?

[@Turk380]

vertical video!? that's a paddlin'

[@AJKCChannel]

Shall I control osmo action from Phone as well?

[@cuuppaajoe]

Thank you great review. Does this work with the DJI Osmo action? (Not the action 2)

[@giospostcards]

Thank you! But it's not clear how to connect the device to the hohem gimbal app

[@miguelarcega3282]

Will it work if you have the gopro media mod attached with a rode receiver mounted on it? Or the smallrig cage on the gopro?

[@ArcticExploring]

It will not fit with media mod I saw in another video

[@AirPhotography]

Unfortunately no

[@marco.3006]

Does a soft windslayer case fit?

[@ArcticExploring]

@@marco.3006 I don't think so

[@markhexamer]

You said pair the gopro to the gopro app, but it connects to the gimble? can you use the gopro app while this is connected to the gimble? thank Y\you

[@SasikanthNimmagadda]

Can we use external mic on this iSteadyPro4 with GoPro 11 ? At 1m55sec, a mount option is shown. Assuming we can mount external mic (like a dji). How / Where do we connect external mic to GoPro11 (as there is no support for media mod)

[@ivorputnam5958]

Thank you for this video. Do you know why I always have to switch the go pro off separately. I have paired them

[@abuanwp]

I have a gopro8 with hyper smooth, I can say add gimbal to it and its butter.

[@imboredDB]

Gimble waste of time with the Action 4; especially since there isn't oneince there is one made for it? Thx

[@broti]

thanx for that video! one question: is there any gimbal for gopro or iphone where i can programme a movement like here with the timelapse, but in „normal“ video mode?

[@ChristophKindred]

the iSteady Multi is likely what you are looking for,

[@broti]

@@ChristophKindred Thank you very much for your help, Christoph! 🙏

[@Virtualvideos11]

Hi, thanks for sharing. I am trying to find a gimbal that is useful for smartphone and gopro! don't know if this works on both?

[@billsanders4]

But what about zooming with the gimbal????I think you missed that.

[@PhillyDroneLife]

Nice going Sean. I love the way point in the app. Interesting... Well done.. 💙💙💙 Mikey

[@alt-w7130]

Can this gimbal work with a gopro 7 silver? No answer

[@ajips]

Was wondering hero 10 with media mod and external mic with dead cat etc...will it fit?

[@MooreTainted]

Great review thanks.. just purchased

[@RonWilliams215]

Can you shoot the GoPro in portrait mode using the stabilizing stick??

[@tripsconcept]

I have a media mod for Nero 9 which record better sound. Can it fit it into Hohem Gimbal Stabilizer.

[@juliano191]

Seems like much of the screen is blocked. Does it interfere with menus?

[@ExploringWithKev]

my biggest question is do you get noise on your footage from gimbal motors?

[@AirPhotography]

Yes, indeed the microphones on the GoPro are very sensitive and sometimes you will pick up a little bit. I don’t find it overly annoying, but you can definitely hear it from time to time.

[@BerlinExplorer]

Thank you for the Review :) nice to find always the point of view of other people, before to buy gear :)

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed my video

[@RPCTVPhilippines]

So if i turn on the Video Stab in go pro ,is there any difference ,or its get more smother?

[@FeeltheBreezeRV]

Dont buy this stabilizer for the GoPro/ You cannot mount the GoPro with the microphone frame. WTF!!!

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Tutorial Video Shawn! Your audio was low. Well Done!

[@razorwing75]

Beat review, does this gimbal work with dji action 2?

[@p-obie]

Hi do you have video of this using on a chest mount?

[@Charles64]

It does on GoPro Hero 7? Too?

[@manifest2901able]

Can you zoom in and out from the remote?

[@Just3adventures]

Can it do portrait mode

[@lemes2234]

anyone know if this will work with a insta360 ace pro

[@LouisLuzuka]

Can it shoot vertical or should I shoot 4:3 and crop in

[@samsen3965]

Very good review. But this was a year back or so. So is there anything better for Go Pro (I am specifically looking for GP8), in today's market, or still this one rulez?

[@AirPhotography]

The gimbal market has really slowed down. There hasn’t really been much new released in the last year.

[@samsen3965]

@@AirPhotography Thanks and happy Sunday. I did order iSteay Pro4 and it has arrived only haven't had time to open, charge an enjoy it yet. I'm sure I'll like it, especially for its long run time, capability to charge other devices, portrait mode, ease of putting the camera on or off without the need for calibration and more important that all, that Timelapse feature that I'm very much into it. Anyways and thanks a lot for your good demonstration of the gimble. Have a great week ahead.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much. You have a great week as well.

[@MopokesAdventures]

Will this work with an Akaso v50 pro?

[@TechVaio]

Thank you for sharing information with us

[@kamrongreen4015]

Is there anyway to film vertically with this gimbal?

[@fpafdc70]

Muchas gracias, exelente viedeo!

[@encellon]

A gimbal? YES - My Hero 9 burns resolution attempting to steady itself. It also has a brain hemorrhage whenever I pan slowly (it treats panning like a 'problem,' runs out of headroom, jerks ahead, and repeats). The camera also tilts the screen like a drunken sailor, and only rights the ship on occasion. I plan to turn off 'hyper-smooth,' mount the Hero 9 on this truly steady gimbal, and get back to making videos that do not drive me crazy. FYI -- I have earlier Hohem models for smaller cameras -- and they work great!

[@StreetSteezn]

Is it possible to use a GoPro in vertical mode?

[@ChristophKindred]

Can you triple click the trigger to make the camera face you like the 3 Pro?

[@AirPhotography]

Good question I’m not sure I’ll have to check into that

[@techie.musafir]

Is it compatible for Go pro 11

[@mtbohana]

Can this be mounted in anyway to a GoPro chesty mount? I want to record night time mountain biking. Thanks.

[@Rossithailand]

There's 2 mounting points

[@SasikanthNimmagadda]

Do you think this is still the best GoPro gimbal ? If you have any other recommendations.. please suggest..

[@AirPhotography]

When it comes to gimbals, they’re all decent and perform very similarly. There hasn’t really been a lot of new innovation over the last couple years. For myself it’s whatever you can get the best price on and what features you’re looking for.

[@SasikanthNimmagadda]

​@@AirPhotography Thanks for the reply.. I was looking at iSteady Pro 4 and Inkee Falcon Plus(allowing media mod & external mic).. Do you have a preference between these two ?

[@AirPhotography]

If I had to choose, it would probably be the hohem. I’ve always been very pleased with their gimbals.

[@Rossithailand]

hohem isteady pro 4 is connecting to bluetooth but waypoints not working app is bad

[@scottnadeau5280]

I just put in a order for on on there web page they have a black Friday deal for $78 bucks ....will the max lens mod on the gopro fit with this

[@AirPhotography]

Wow what a great deal. I never tested it But it should

Just wondering, do you no longer use the NuBear and if so why?

[@AirPhotography]

Yes I still use it from time to time. Especially if we’re going to be in around Water, or going on vacation.

[@khalilgopro9423]

is it possible to record with the gopro hero 10 without battery using the isteady pro 4 as external power?

[@manifest2901able]

I've seen videos of the go pro being used without it's battery being powered by the gimbal

[@GrizzintheWoods]

Can you hook up the Rose wireless go 2 to the setup?

[@AirPhotography]

Not really an option with this gimbal

[@michaelfirth1075]

Great video.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you

[@bikechingu]

Looks like a good gimbal but the tripod seems unstable. Thanks for the review!

[@AirPhotography]

It’s a pretty small tripod indeed if you want something really stable your best to put it on something bigger. However some of that Wobbling was because I’m moving my desk and I have a thin layer of wood over it that buckles

[@bikechingu]

Sir make video on dji action 2.

[@AirPhotography]

I have a review coming soon. My 30 day review

[@guyhanoi8561]

Thanx for the video. I have a question. I realize that the iSteady 4 has fast charging to external device (serving as a power bank) uning USB-C. Do you know if the iSteady 3 has the same USB-C capabilities (since I own an Osmo Action, I don't necessarily need to buy the more expensive iSteady 4, which I hear is identical to the 3, except for the support for the Hero 10). Because if the iSteady 3 doesn't have a USB-C connection, that is a big con against buying it and getting the iSteady 4. Thanx again.

[@guyhanoi8561]

And the answer is?

[@lutzmix]

istaedy 3 have mini usb .fast charging 2A. . with osmo action you have no start/stop button. better you use a powerbank with a longer smooth usb cable than the gimbal port. steady 4 is more in balance without motor save Power

[@guyhanoi8561]

@@lutzmix So you recommend the iSteady 4 over the 3?

[@lutzmix]

@@guyhanoi8561 I think the 4 is the better option, usb c. and to fix the camera at the gimbal is much mor easy. for longer power take a second camera accu with you. or take a Smartphone gimbal with adapter plate for action cams. to start your cam use the mimo app for the Smartphone. hohem app for the gimbal

[@guyhanoi8561]

@@lutzmix Thanx. So if it's problematic anyways to charge and I decide no to try (so usb-c or not doesn't matter much), the only big advantage is the easier mounting? Did I get you right? mmm... So now it's just a matter if it's worth the 25$ extra cost :)

[@DiegoMartinez-bj2jm]

Hello, does it fit a go pro 9 with media mod?

[@AirPhotography]

Unfortunately no it does not

[@thors_papa5894]

I bought this because of your review on it was amazing. However, I’ve been having issues with it. When I charge the gimbal, it automatically turns my GoPro Hero 9 on. Even if the camera is not on the gimbal. When paired, the GoPro automatically goes to the photo mode. The switch button only lets me toggle between the photo mode and video mode. It doesn’t switch over to the timeline lapse mode. Is there anything you can recommend me do to troubleshoot it? I reached out to Hohem but they have not responded.

[@hkbcnwu944]

I have gopro 9 and hohem isteady pro 4, same issue, have you found out the answer?
