Do YOU even need this gimbal? Hohem iSteady M6

[@Ash-jy4eb]

Great Video Jason. Thanks for the review and insights. Also love your filming!

[@igor_lavresh]

For vertical shooting with Pro Max iPhone and DJI Mic 2 receiver is there enough clearance or better go with Hohem MT2?

[@CosmicArcMedia]

I really think I'm leaning towards the M6 instead of DJI's OM6. I'm used to my RS3 Mini and love that the M6 has more freedom of movement than the OM6. Only advantage I can think of with the OM6 is the size and the built in extending arm.

[@el_teodoro]

What did you end up getting? I'm also struggling to choose between those two

[@farrukhkhan4464]

[@mhalonazaro6576]

How has it been so far now thay you had it for a couple months?

[@alvinblackwell268]

@mhalonazaro6576 It has been a great buy. It exceeded expectations; I bought it for video, but it is a game changer for shooting still photography with my phone. It's stabilization of my phone allows me to take images that are stunning in detail. I didn't know how much better they are are compared to hand held ones. I've put off upgrading my DSLR to mirrorless 😇💯‼️

I Have a Hohem M6 And an iPhone 15 Pro Max and I want to know how and if I can record video in Pro Res using the Hohem Joy App Since there doesn’t seem to be a setting

[@NorthernWhisper]

Smart phone software stabilization crops in. A benefit to a gimbal is the ability to film closer to a subject without losing stabilization, especially when using lenses without the hardware stablization that some smartphone lenses have.

[@markp8686]

Gimbal is particularly useful if you need external microphone n light. Everyone knows video quality on phones is not issue, but voice recordings for more cinematic experience you'd need an external microphone ideally attached on it

[@carolinek220]

The downside to this gimbal is, it doesn’t have a lot of room for an external mic. Speaking strictly as an iPhone user (filming in portrait mode), I find it problematic to use an external (plug-in) mic. You need to buy a right angle mic adapter. If you don’t have the right angle adapter, it will not fit in portrait mode. What I mean by not fitting is you will not be able to swing the gimbal because the adapter will hit the back arm of the device. Of course you can hit the trigger button four times for it to swing the arm to the front of the phone. It would also be nice if they included a selfie stick within the gimbal handle and while we’re here a magnetic holder like the DJI instead of the spring phone clamp.

[@markp8686]

@carolinek220 I've got Samsung galaxy s22 ultra n can attach pro mic n led light with no issues, and the gimle original light is still on it. So it probably depends on the size of the mic

can you use it with a cannon g7 x?

[@cloutchaser-e8n]

however, one of its downside is it's not recommended for sports videography since there are so many objects that the sensor detects.

Thanks, verry good video and your quality of picture is wowww, I have iphone 15 pro max pounds is 240G and I like to record with apple pro rec vlog and I need to use ssd, I use t7 samsung 80g. the total pounds is 320 , I try osmo 6 and insta 360 flow and all gimble is good for around 295g. When I use that gimble all gimble put the gimble off to much pounds. That product M6 is better because is 400g and the system for axelle is different.

Nice video and enjoyed your emphasis of the AI sensor. Its crazy good! I mildly disagree with you about the stabilization.

Oh no I do agree. I just meant stability is becoming crazy good these days and gimbals need other features to grab peoples attention like the AI feature.

How well does the AI tracking feature work compared to other competitor gimbals?

[@ehoffaa]

[@WolferAlpha]

It may even be that smartphones have good stabilization, but not every smartphone does, a common mistake that every iPhone user makes, it's normal, I don't blame you, mine doesn't have OIS and many flagships don't either, like the Poco X4 GT, it surpasses the Iphone in video quality since Android has a third-party app (exclusive to Android) that allows you to record unprocessed video (more than 2000 Mbps of video bitrate and full RAW resolution of the sensor, in the case of the Poco x4 GT a resolution of 4,624x3.472 pixels), virtually the same quality as ProResRAW and native aspect ratio of IMAX
