[@nicoleng3083]

I'm not a professional videographer but I've been hunting for a good gimbal to take videos of our family and make cute little videos of our kids. Was debating whether to get the M6 for months but the only thing stopping me from purchasing it was the bulkiness, I needed something more portable. Then Hohem came out with this and you're doing this GIVEAWAY! This is just perfect! :)

I will use your gimbal to make cinematic hike and camp videos. 😁 Specifically some pan, push forward tilts type of moves that I'm slowly incorporating. I only film with a phone + OP3 !

[@HenryOlamigokeAkingboju]

Is it compatible with Pixel 8pro?

[@SamuelSotiega]

Yes, but due to Android’s architecture, every manufacturer has their own flavour of Android so there might some features or settings that might work in some models and not in others. It’s not Hohem’s fault, but the way manufacturers avoid having a single flavour of Android that is standard to everyone… just bear that in mind..

[@zombie_bear1797]

It is difficult to just pick one. However, the AI and the built-in tripod are my favourite features. I would use those features to record and document my fitness journey. Would make life easier as you wouldn't need a 2nd camera person 😅

[@SamuelSotiega]

And remember that the remote control is integrated within the gimbal so you can easily control the gimbal’s operation and framing. To me this is a really, really good feature that will be so helpful for anyone using it as solo content creator… But I agree, it is hard to pick one up as they all do something interesting…

[@cedric359]

Super merci pour ta vidéo, je ne suis pas professionnel, un amateur qui veut faire des vidéos youtube sur les sujets qui me plaisent. J'hésite grandement avec le isteady M6 qui offre beaucoup plus de liberté, toi qui a essayé les 2 et d'autres du style DJI, si on le compare avec l'osmo mobile 6, est-ce que le V3 offre de bien meilleures angles avant butée que l'osmo ou le onsta 360 ? Est-ce que l'amélioration de l'application du V3 a été donné aussi au M6 ? Merci pour ton retour, en France je n'ai pas beaucoup de testeur très approfondie. Moi je l'utiliserais vraiement pour ma chaine youtube ou je débute et dans la vie de tous les jours pour mes loisirs

[@SamuelSotiega]

Le V3 est un joli cardan portable, mais vous devez comprendre que c'est un cardan portable. Le M6 a une charge utile plus élevée et une meilleure amplitude de mouvement. Si jamais vous souhaitez utiliser des objectifs ou tout autre accessoire autre qu'un filtre, le V3 ne sera pas à la hauteur. Si vous envisagez de prendre des photos en contre-plongée et de prendre des photos en hauteur ou en grue, le M6 est la solution idéale. Mon conseil, le M6 est un meilleur cardan, vous en tirerez beaucoup plus de fonctionnalités et la charge utile est beaucoup plus élevée. Le V3 est, à mon avis, un cardan pour quelqu'un qui possède déjà un cardan, comme le M6, et qui veut quelque chose de plus léger pour voyager et qui comprend qu'il ne fera jamais ce que le M6 peut faire. Pensez que la M6 est votre voiture de tous les jours et que la V3 est votre petite mini-voiture pour la ville où une seule personne peut monter à l'intérieur de la voiture. Vous n'utiliserez cette voiture que pour de petits déplacements en ville, mais ce ne sera jamais une voiture avec laquelle vous pourrez emmener votre famille sur l'autoroute. J'espère que cette comparaison a du sens...

[@christianrotola3]

Fantastic! a review that is decidedly different from the others. Now I'll tell you what I think was missing from your review and everyone else's. I'll tell you because it's the reason why I would like this little gimbal, so I respond to your request and at the same time I hope to give you a little suggestion. In no review, absolutely none, have I heard of using the gimbal as I will have to use it. I enjoy making small videos of radio controlled (RC) cars, especially if they are very realistic in their details. To do this I necessarily have to use the gimbal upside down, to have a point of view at the same height as the RC car and make it even more realistic. At the same time I need to resume the details of the work of the shock absorbers, the deformation of the tires etc. etc. To do this, and to avoid breaking my back, I will have to always use the gimbal upside down. So, to get to what's missing in your video and everyone else's, I would have liked to see how this gimbal performs when shooting upside down and with the AI ​​Tracker enabled. This is essential because, to adequately follow the RC car, it will be necessary for the AI ​​Tracker to work well even with the smartphone upside down and to follow the RC car for me so that I can take care of the driving, for be smooth and make the RC car as realistic as possible. Here's what I plan to do with this cute little handheld gimbal. :) I hope I have been an inspiration in your next review. HI ;) PS I really appreciated your review of the Insta Flow because you said what everyone else didn't want or couldn't say. This does you credit and, for my part, has earned you my respect. So thank you for such an honest and no-nonsense review.

[@SamuelSotiega]

Thanks for the feedback! The AI tracker is for human face only. I don’t think it would work for a RC car. But I take note of your point for future videos!

[@christianrotola3]

Hi, great review. May I know the total weight of the setup you used? iPhone 13 Pro Max + case + filter. I would use it for my Xiaomi 13 Ultra along with the photography kit with step-up ring and variable ND flter from K&F Concept. Do you think it can handle that? I was really about to pull the trigger on the iSteady M6, but now am not sure. Thanks

[@SamuelSotiega]

I believe the Xiaomi 13 Ultra with your set up will be fine. It is actually lighter than the 13 pro max. But think whether you need unrestricted movement or not. The M6 is also a great gimbal but they are both different, so consider what you are likely to do and how. Rest assured that either one of them are a good choice!!

I don't think this gimbal can handle any lenses. I only used a VND filter and it was fine but I wouldn't have any confidence on adding a lens. My experience using a lens from sandmarc is that after 30-60 seconds it gave way... It will hold your phone for sure, but unless you have a super lightweight lens.... I would probably assume it can't handle the lens's weight.
