I am not a professional videographer or photographer by any means. I film a lot of short form content with newer iPhones. I have never used a gimbal before but purchase the MT2 two days ago. Yes… I have seen dozens of videos about this gimbal and you mentioned a lot of things that other people haven’t mentioned. As you know, the user manual is nonexistent but only relies on QR codes to watch basic Hohem videos. I haven’t found a video yet mentioning the different modes. Maybe everyone that has used a gimbal before knows about these modes… if it’s an industry standard type thing or not but I’m kinda lost. I’m trying to learn the basics before I even start with the app and I do not have the remote. What does sport mode actually do? I hold down the trigger, and the S will come up on the oled but the S will not stay on. Also… what modes are best for what shots? With me messing around in different modes I sometimes get error messages with that beep that will ruin any audio. In particular, if you were doing a very low shot and then raising up high like a drone shot. What is the difference between PF, PTF, L & POV ??? Like I said, I have never used a gimbal before but if you get a little sideways with the gimbal, the arm and servos will not be very happy. Lol. I seen only one video where someone mentioned what mode they use most of the time, but I have not seen a video of anyone explaining each different mode or even sport mode. With Hohem pushing the M2T very heavily lately, I feel that most people are not focusing on the simple things but only the AI tracking and the weight capability. By the way, I am using a iPhone 14 with no accessories, and the gimbal is perfectly balanced.
I agree with the previous comment and as always balanced, I only question one point that you didn’t try, when outside and testing tracking, you went out of detectable distance, then returned and it didn’t go back into detecting you, however I do think that if it detected you at the 8m and lost you at the 10m stepping back into the 8m and doing the ok sign should re-enable the tracking, it would be good to know, so that in use you could do that and adjust in edit, so as to not loose continuity and time having to return to close proximity. Excellent as you state and I have a Hohem gimble that has the remote so the extra values are interesting, particularly the extra weight and size. Thank you!
Just tested the range and it will detect the OK gesture at 8 metres and will start and stop tracking at this distance. The field of view is around 90 degrees in my tests
Good video thank you, I have the Sony rx10 iv bridge camera, will this camera balance with the lens zooming in and out also with the DJI Mic attached thank you.
I like the function of it but it is picking up noise from the gimbal motor on both of my cell phone and GoPro. Other issue it cannot control the Canon RP to start/stop recording
Thank you for the review. Maybe you can help me. I am using the mt2 with my Sony a7iv connectet with the câble and via bluethoot my Huawei p30 with the gimbal. I can not see the pictures take by m'y camera on the application on Huawei. Maybe you can tell me what i am doing wrong?
Hi thanks for a very helpful review, I just have a question, I noticed that the iSteady M6 kit can hold up to 400 grams so I'm wondering if my dji action 4 which is in a smallrig cage which allows me to attach my Rode wireless ME to it using usb c to usb c cable and connected to the cage cold shoe mount weighs 281 grams would work with the M6 because that gimbal is much lighter and would be easier for me to carry due to my arthritis, I'd be grateful if you have an answer or if you have any other suggestions, thanks
I know this isnt the video of my question but i will still ask it and i would love to hear your opinion. I would love to get a decent bride camera and i have narrowed down my options to the fz300 and the nikon b 700. Wich one should i get. Dous the f2.8 make the 60x zoom wet. Whst do you think. Thank your very much if you ver even only to read this comment. Have a nice day
My personal choice would be the FZ300 for the simple reason of the constant aperture F2.8 lens. This makes all the difference for those long telephoto shots as the shutter speed can be kept high enough to prevent subject motion blur. In lower light it will also prove beneficial at all focal lengths. If you do really need the 1440mm EFL of the B700 then you must be willing to make some sacrifices in image quality used at this focal length.
That camera is very much "front side heavy" and although it is under the payload I'm not sure front to back balance would be able to be achieved. If it was counterbalanced maybe restricted tilt would be available.
The Panasonic FZ2000 is a similar camera - front heavy. It will balance however the tilt range is very limited. Its OK as a studio camera that can track with AI or remote control with Bluetooth controller.
An old school review is more informative and less emotional than modern ones
Seen 7 reviews of mt2, this one one has been the best.
Absolutely the best & most concise video pertaining to the MT2 on CZcams !

I just brought it, absolutely outstanding piece of kit
great review! Thank you! (just got my MT2)
That is some pretty amazing features with the AI! And the little controller is amazing.

Thank you!
I'll try this and also establish the "angle of view" of the sensor as I have a feeling it is less than 60 degrees.
Just tested the range and it will detect the OK gesture at 8 metres and will start and stop tracking at this distance. The field of view is around 90 degrees in my tests
Very well explained many thanks thumbs up 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You for the video and the code!

So Graham. Do you know if my r6 mark ii will have the focus ring feature ? Or connect Bluetooth?
Weird, many reviews say this gimbal isn't too stable.😮
Thank you for the review.

Looks impressive and all these features! I love the case as well.
Yes it is and with careful position you might be able to fit a mirrorless camera in the bag as well.

Can you advise does the M2 work in ICP when I portrait mode ?

@@GrahamHoughton12 thanks mate.
I'll go with the Panasonic.
Have a good day🔥
Will it support the Nikon coolpix p1000

Am not recommended from my experience, low power motor and difficult to balancing
