5 Reasons Why I LOVE Hohem iSteady V2 Smartphone Gimbal

[@EMTFILMS]

I’m legitimately impressed with the AI Vision Sensor and the overall quality of the iSteady V2! What’s your favorite feature and what kind of videos would you capture with this dope smartphone gimbal!? Let us know! 🤘🏼

[@JoergHH62]

Extra Tip: Go and buy the external Bluetooth remote control that usually comes with the Hohem iSteady X2. (Available as an accessory in the Hohem webshop). This is also compatible with the V2 and you have even more options and control over the gimbal. You could, for example, screw on a suitable selfie stick (pay attention to stability and load capacity!) and attach the remote control to the lower end.

[@サトシユサフ]

this is the reason why I like your videos, youre very honest young man sir!

[@cu4wur6023]

Excellent content and clearly explained. Been looking at this one as a posed to the latest models because I think for what I would need it would cover. The others seem too technical for me and this one I think you get a lot for the money. I would use for holidays because my Husband and I always find it difficult getting pictures/footage of us and this would be ideal. Someone mentioned getting the Bluetooth control which would be great. Thank you again 🙏🏻

[@EMTFILMS]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Loving all the recent Hohem products! They have been leveling up greatly in the past years!

[@haroldm5814]

Excellent job demonstrating its features and how it works!

[@CarswithLuis]

Very nice review! I’m highly considering getting one. Thanks for this video bro ✌🏼

[@EMTFILMS]

Absolutely! Thanks to you for sharing your time! 🤘🏼

[@TravelandTech101]

Brilliant content as always! thank you. Really love the idea of the additional camera and having the phone added to your workstation setup. could be a game changer, a phone "stand" that turns to gimbal. Love your content.

[@EMTFILMS]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos! This little guys has been on my desk more often because of that! I appreciate your time! 🤘🏼

[@drug2]

06:08 is this shot with an iphone and the gimbal? how did you do the smooth change of focus?

[@ebaydowneyjr]

I would absolutely buy this

[@Katsgezellig]

Can you also turn the ai tracker the other way around? Pointing away from you? Or only filming yourself

[@EMTFILMS]

You can on the new V3 model! V2 was stationary and they updated that recently! Game changer in my opinion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ-ko6SXnN6qntksi=xwCEg4Fp3P01Bwuw

[@EdwinA.Hernández-Caraballo]

Hi! I don´t know if you´d be able to see this message, given that´s an "old" video, but I was wondering if you could give me your opinion when it comes to choosing between the iSteady V2 (reviewed above) and the iSteady XE. Thanks in advance!

[@EMTFILMS]

V2 definitely brings it with the AI tracking if you’re looking for a great foldable gimbal solution. Their new M6 is also up there on my favorites. Hope this helps!

[@PlimbaUrsul]

Hello, thanks for the amazing video. Do you know any microphone to work with this setup? I would be interested in a shotgun mostly, but not mandatory. Thanks!

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍Very helpful. Thank you. 💝

[@CarinaKircher]

Dankeschön, I appreciate your video! Is there a way to mount an external mic or mic receiver (using the rode wireless) to the gimbal?

[@Osmien118]

No

[@samtavaria3184]

Is the DJI’s USP that it’s for posting on social media? In other words is there a gimbal that’s better for landscapes/horizontal vs. vertical mode? Thank you so much for all your informative content!!

[@kabooyouhellarandom]

Where is the Instrumental that played in the beginning? 🔥🔥🔥

[@carlinitravelmagic8571]

good video....a lot of good information...are reviewing the new dji om5?, what about using the iphone 12 mini? any goos external mic{lav} for iphone 12 mini? tku

[@massimonotaro607]

Does the handle turn in selfie stick as well?

[@Osmien118]

No

[@KenSStudio]

with to osmo mobile 3, which is better?

[@EMTFILMS]

If you’re interested in using the gimbal with 3rd party apps for live streaming and such then the iSteady V2 is my pick. The OM3 is a great option since it’s priced at 99 but the extra $29 for the iSteady V2 is well worth it in my opinion. Hope this helps! 🤘🏼

[@KenSStudio]

@@EMTFILMS thanks so much!

[@aphroditeeMartina]

I love Hohem too!

[@michaelmarcano9200]

Can you use the camera backwards and use the AI with the backfacing cameras?

[@EMTFILMS]

Technically yes! It’s trippy but once in the grip and paired you can definitely start recording and track with the rear cameras. 🤘🏼

[@michaelmarcano9200]

@@EMTFILMS awesome thank you!

[@hellohogo]

Definitely. I don’t really know why anyone would record the front facing camera since it’s so much lower quality.

[@HillCountryPrepper]

Very helpful and informative. I've been using the V2 since July '21. I really like it. It's great for taking on vacation.

[@misspoky]

Great job! 👏🏻🖤

[@EMTFILMS]

Thank you! 🤘🏼🖤

[@CloodyTube]

keep in mind doesn't let you tilt 360 degrees though

[@stevescukanec7392]

I understand that you must sign into the application to access the features. If I am traveling abroad and do not have access to a digital network does this mean that the gimbal features available via the application will not be available to me? I know everyone assumes that digital networks are available everywhere but that's just not the case. If the application must be signed into that limits the area the product can be used. Do I have the right?

[@therapistconrad]

I have the V2 and the only time I ever use the app is when I want to use the main camera just like he shows at the beginning of his video. The AI sensor that follows you works without the app. And you can always flip your camera around to use the main camera without using the app. The only other reason you need the app is to zoom in and out by bluetooth but you can do that just by touching your own phone. I really don't see why you need an app at all. Hohem brags on their website that this is the one gimbal where you do not need an app. Their tutorial videos are on their website. I hope this helps.

[@stevescukanec7392]

@@therapistconrad thanks for the reply. I appreciate you giving me your expert advice.

[@siphonsnob]

Network access is only needed to register the app after you install it. It does not need network connection during subsequent use.

[@ahahahahahaahahaa]

Thank you for this info!

[@timvandenbossche2644]

As always ~ Nice review! When you mention ‘tilting action’ … is it the same issue as the Dji Osmo3? Compared to a regular gimbal, I always struggle with flashlight mode / crane shots as it requires an awkward move when going down. Would this one be a better option or is it similar to dji om3/4?

[@EMTFILMS]

I personally prefer this one to the Om3 for the tracking. The tilting design is very similar to the OM3/4 but the AI Vision Sensor is definitely a big factor for me to love this one! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤘🏼

[@Binature]

So which Gimbal you recommend for my Android Samsung Ultra + , for using the Zoom button in Gimbal and shoot 4k 60 fps from gimbal itself ? Thanks

[@wayneknetter]

Does the remote work while doing facebook live?

[@sibertiger17]

Fantastic, clear and precise review as always. Questions though, I'm looking for a tracking solution for the Osmo Action, this seems to work well with action cameras, BUT is it ONLY face tracking? What if you turn sideways or have your back to it, does it lose you? What is the range of the tracking, how far away can you be from it? Do you need a camera adapter plate for action cameras? Thanks if you can answer those! Really been struggling to find a tracking solution for the Osmo Action

[@MrMonk330]

It will track your body if you turn your back to it. It just the face

[@sibertiger17]

@@MrMonk330 and what's the range? Have you tested how far it will track you from the sensor?

[@Osmien118]

[@halkanasta]

Recently subbed bro, you reviews are so detailed and realistic!! 🔥❤️

[@FlyWithWheels]

does it support object tacking from back camera ? even in zoom for ultra 22

[@Daviddear30]

Can you film with the phones rear camera? I’m guessing yes but every pic I see has it shooting with front camera. Thanks.

[@EMTFILMS]

Absolutely!

[@jkgirltrixie]

Can you track with the back camera?

[@marxthe.2651]

To be honest, I can barely tell the difference @ 5:00. The iPhone has great built in stabilization. Side by side its hard to tell that which one was shot with a gimbal.

[@keithwiebe1787]

Yes I noiticed that too. I wonder if he turned off the built in stabil. I'm running an S22 with amazing built in stabilization but the built in stabilization causes the video to stutter say every 10 seconds or so. I'm wondering how this compares to not using the built in stabilization.

[@faithgod2754]

Does hohem isteady v2 support iPhone 13 ?

[@Yinyin2227]

how do I avoid the gimbal arm showing when I zoom out using iPhone 13?

[@weekendwargamers]

Hi how do you rate this vs the DJI OM 4/5?

[@muhammadumar8868]

I am interested in this point too👍

[@weekendwargamers]

@@muhammadumar8868 guess no one can say for sure... I think I'm going with OM 4

[@thefourthquarter7429]

I have both. I prefer the Hohem. It's more stable and the AI sensor works really well for filming alone. The DJI does have one advantage. With counterweights it will handle a big (ish) load with a large ND filter.

[@ShayBarnes]

But you can’t film in portrait right!? Everytime I try it starts jolting!!

[@johnsy59]

nice vid, good info, I think I'll buy one 😀

[@EMTFILMS]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for stopping by! 🤘🏼

[@heavens988]

yeah, I really liked isteady V2, its smart & lightweight with AI technology, loved it!

[@messiah1018]

Hi Ahmm when do you know it reach its max charge? Cause mine is keep blinking

[@ArbelKimmickVoiceoverArtist]

What about close up product shots? I’m trying to do close up unboxing shots for my videos and the gimbal goes nuts when I tilt it certain angles to get closer to the product. I haven’t seen any videos on using the gimbal for close ups- any ideas?

[@gsharks3333]

How do u use the AI vision with the back camera?

[@ismailbollurejjabba6572]

As a beginner which one should I buy.... HOHEM X, X2 or V2 ???

[@EMTFILMS]

I’d say both X2 or V2 are great options. It depends on your tracking needs. If using with a 3rd party app the V2 is what I recommend.

[@Czarhi]

Should i buy this or monza mini mx 2? Or cosmo 3

[@BeersInJapan]

Great video! Does the Gesture Control and tracking work with the back camera?

[@yeeenim]

Does the Hohem App needs to be used with Wifi or mobil internet? using their Slow motion, facial detector etc…

[@danielpe3604]

AI tracking only works with front camera? Is there a way to use it with the back camera?

[@PureChaos]

How does it compare to the Crane M2? Can the AI tracking do object tracking versus just face tracking? Trying to decide between the Isteady V2 and Crane M2 for my SOny ZV1 and GoPro 9.

[@AjayKumar-er7up]

I’m not able to use my AirPods with this gimble. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

[@Tashas_Travels]

I was sold at "face tracking in any app" I mean I live cooking and watching movies and move up and down. I need this little baby in my life.

[@6ixflixx]

Nice vid bro. Thanks for the info. Just got mine. Looking to use it with 12 pro max. So I wasn’t clear if this gimbal will allow the camera to go continuous 360 barrel roll effect? Thanks. Just found your channel first video I watched. Subbed 🎥🔌

[@jkgirltrixie]

Can it track objects? I video a lot of remote control car action.

[@therapistconrad]

The V2 will track an object or a face by locking onto it through their app. Just click on face or object.

[@bornfreeme9440]

Mine was only 4hrs battery life..not using it too much just like a standby mode (but its on) handle for my Note20

[@Pyper80]

Rispetto a dji om 5?

[@MrMonk330]

Do you think this will be legit for the weight of the 13 Pro Max? I have the OM3 but had the iPhone 11 Pro Max. I have the 13 Pro Max now and love the tracking of this gimbal but worry if the weight of the phone would be to much. Would love your feedback. Great video bro!

[@zenossimone2535]

Can it hold 13 pro max ?

[@sergioallen8324]

Does this work with the S21 ultra?

[@EMTFILMS]

Yes with their app and natively. 🤘🏼

[@oscarabello84]

Hohem iSteady V2 or DJI OM4 for Iphone 12 Pro Max?

[@oscarabello84]

For short films, music videos...

[@EMTFILMS]

Honestly both are great options if you’ll ever use tracking the the iSteady V2 is the tracking winner. Thanks for stopping by! 🤘🏼

[@FactNight]

How can I attach rode video mic on it?

[@Osmien118]

Not an option

[@therapistconrad]

A year late but you can attach the Rode Mike to the phone and the phone to the gimbal.

[@tyniaburch1737]

Can this Hohem AI tracking be used if you’re recording live on Facebook?

[@tvLB03]

That's my problem as well! Did you already got an answer to your question?

[@JoergHH62]

Of course. AI-powered gesture control can be used in ALL third-party applications. And thus also for Facebook Livestreaming, for example.

[@vvormz]

How do you think, will DJI announce OM5 this year or they will discontinue this product? :(

[@EMTFILMS]

I think they will continue to iterate their OM line. There’s a lot of room for growth especially on the mid range phone market that would like to have better video and photo quality but phones may not have OIS. Cant wait for them to innovate!

Umm, the AI tracking is cool and should be on all gimbals. DJI looking at you. However, the footage of stabilization looks about same on iPhone 12 Pro Max as is does on iPhone 12 Pro Max + Gimbal 🙄

Sorry you’re having bluetooth challenges. So far all my Hohem gimbals have performed great. Id recommend maybe reaching out to them to see if they have support options. Also I removed it from my devices and added it again and sometimes it helps when using other devices simultaneously. Hope it gets resolved!
