NEW! Hohem iSteady X2. Watch my review here: czcams.com/video/5ghV7EgyfOI/video.html
Do you find x2 more stable than x? Smoother shots?thanks
I have been watching your videos all day. You have the best and easy to understand content around shooting with the phone. Thanks!!
You make things very easy to understand which is very helpful for newbies and less overwhelming
Best video I have seen for setting up and using the Hohem iSteadyX. I am getting the X2 tomorrow and look forward to using this video to get mine set up and begin to use it. Your videos are the best for cinematic use of a phone camera. Thanks for everything you put on CZcams with regard to creating content with a smartphone.
Ive just got this gimbal today, and thanks to your tutorial I was able to set it up! I’ll be playing with in the next few days. Thank you for this great tutorial! Love how you give examples, extra information and the way you talk is straight to the point but also relaxing! Thanks again!
Proficient, professional and very efficient set of examples within the instructions. thanks!
Thank you for this tutorial video. I just bought one and the manual is in Chinese. Now I have an idea of how to set it up. Many thanks.
Thanks buddy - unlocking the three locks was the absolute win for me! No wo
That was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you, I will save this video!❤
Ahhhhhh! You’re my hero! Couldn’t get it to connect correctly! Thought I just wasted my money! Saving your video because I’m sure I’ll need to come back to it in the future!
Xoxo
Becca, this is a poor video of the XSteady. Try Steve Wrights - Learn Online video to get full usage of this gimble (czcams.com/video/X1jzYiwTraY/video.html)
This really helped me set it up, Thank you.
Thank you so much, I had no idea what I was doing before I saw this video.
You are the best!! Explained so well🤗
Thank you so much for this nice set up and review about this Hohem gimbal.Through your video I understand how to connect it to phone because my hihem gimbal I wasn't able to t use it coz it really need to connect to phone.KmLooking forward for another reviews for this item.
A VERY Good Morning to you. Ive owned my Gimbal for 50 weeks and never had it working. It also kept powering up then straight OFF as yours did.
Unlocked the three clips preventing the motors moving and "Hey Presto" It WORKS. SO many thanks to you and youtube for helping me out and not throwing this in a drawer again!!!
P.S. Other magical expressions of surprise ARE available.
Have a great day and my birthday present now actually means something instead of the paper weight it was only good for. Nicholas
Taking this unit skiing tomorrow... Give it a good test! Thanks!
I bought it today. This video is so useful to me! Thank you :)
Recently bought isteady x. Thank you.
Thank you very much, great video!!!
Thanks for this vey informative video. :)
Bro thanks alot for this tutorial. ❤👍🏼
Bro thank you so much. I was having the beeping problem with mine too and I kept troubleshooting it thinking it waz a connection issue I had no idea of the locking feature For the motors that prevented it from staying on URA saviour I was totally about to return this thing to Amazon.
Thanks for this. I was just starting to get frustrated. I had the lock issue too!! It flashes like its got a flat battery. Instructions have nothing about battery charging or unlocking. I love the 'uncoonected' as opposed to disconnected in the software. Website is a bit one language but luckily Google Chrome translates this to something for you. Few improvements to company processes and it would be much better. Hope they have a good customer feedback portal, yet to see this function but good to go...
Thank you so much well explained . I can make the best out of it now.
Thank u for this helpful video
Thanks super informative!
Nice! So informative
NICE Tutorial!
this is a proper review
This video helped a lot this gimbel was about to go straight back to Amazon 😂✋🏽
Great tutorial. Thank you. One question: What if you are switching between face and hand on guitar? Which focus mode is best?
Very helpful video! In your opinion, what mode do you think would be best while mounting it to the front of a boat, with the camera pointing forward/ahead of the boat?
Big help to my hohem gimbal thanks
Great information about gimbal
thanks for sharing
Thank you very much 🎉
If it's slanted you need to power off, readjust the balance (if already perfectly balanced, then offset it slightly) and power on.
Amazing thanks
hey there, i have a question about hohen isteady x; can i use it with a phone and an action camera such as a go pro or something with the same specifications? and if not can you recomand something for both of them . Thanks.
Quick question. I'm trying to find out how I would get it to track me walking. If it loses my face, which it would when waking away, how can I object track myself? Would I need to fit my phone facing the other way and draw round myself or is there another way round it? Thanks.
Were you ever able to figure out the slight slant ? My iPhone 11 is always on a slight slant and can’t seem to figure it out.
Very good & Perfect Vloging Gimbel 👍👍👍100% Perfect Gimbel.
Hi. I'm still having the automatic turn off problem even after unlocking the motors. Any idea why? This is frustrating!
Is there a way to switch from selfie to front facing using the controls while taking a video?
Hi Sir, i bought Platiro 1.55 Anamorphic lens and Variable ND filter. My hohem i study X is unable to handle the weight. Is there any way to balance the lens and filter.
I am using these on my mobile phone.
Thank you… I can use mine now
I have good on camera mic, plan her a gimbal, have ND filters do you feel I have the basics also have external lights think I have a good camera setup
thank you!!
Hello Sir I bought this gimbal ...but I am confused in what mode do I have to use while blogging using front camera.
Hi there
Can I use the music that comes with the gimbal on CZcams without copyright
How does this compare to the zhiyun smooth q2? They're a similar price (q2 a little cheaper) and I'm torn between the two.
Can this gimbal will take vortex shoot or inception mode and dolly zone shoot or vertigo mode
thank you for this. I just got my one. Tried it out a bit, your video was a big help. One question, what is the charging life for this? I charged my one till the lights turned green then took it for a spin. Did just two 1 min video and the battery went down to 1 stick quick. Do they die so quick?
that doesn't sound good. Should be 8 hours at least
Hi there can I post the videos with background music on the gimbal on youtube? Do I have to extract the music from the gimbal? copyright
I just bought the V2, I have a question?
How can I save the video from the Hohem apps on my phone? After I click on the start video, it’s not save on from my phone video??
Even I use the al visual tracking LED video, it’s not save on my phone video?? Thank you.
really useful.....
Great!
Hi ! Can you please tell how to use all lock on this .
What is the maximum resolution the app allow??? Plz reply sir
Is this gimbal much worse than the moza mini mx? I can't decide between them since I've seen the stabilization of the moza is not too good
I recorded video using a hohem app, clips have sound but when importing in FCPX sound disappears. Any idea why and how to fix it?
What type of power cable does it use?
Thank you!! I just got this gimbal today and I was confused lol
Don't buy this gimbal friend..instead of this buy i steady mobile plus
how do I avoid the gimbal arm showing when I zoom out using iPhone 13?
I can’t make out what you said at one point. What button do you have to press 5 times for auto calibration? I didn’t see you do it so I don’t know what to press. Thanks for this video, it’s very helpful!
tap the power button 5 times - the button on the right
bal?
Bravo ✋✌️
i bought this gimbal but the face and object tracking arent smooth unlike yours. mine has this like robotic pause kind of thing when I move around or when an object moves around. Do you know how to fix this?
Thanks for your video🙏i thought the gimbal dont work.
I bought the same gimbal a few weeks back, and mine is about 2 deg off straight, can’t seem to fix it, started looking how to contact support to it ended up watching your video on CZcams. The iOS all has just had an update and seems to have the same features now, professionals mode was added and gesture.
One feature I’m struggling with is setting points during a time lapse, if you start the app and go into time lapse with final turned off you can see set points, however once the gimbal is powered on the option to set point a is not available.
thanks for the comment! It has a few glitches doesn't it
Thanks 😊 bl
Hi Simon, is this hohem home app safe to install?
Thanks. Very helpful. What country do you live in? It looks very beautiful.
Hello Sir, Hohem app hangs every time I use and the mobile camera also gets hangs because of this. How can I use app features in a mobile camera?
Nice device
are you able to record with my 0.6x wide angle camera on my s21 ultra with this gimbal? Does the app allow wide angle recording? Does it also work well for fast sport such as soccer? because i might wanna buy this to track the soccer ball, do you think it will work?
Honestly your comment is more than annoying
Nice price. I hope the kinks get fixed through firmware update or something.
I love the music used in this vdo. Can anyone help me find this.
Can someone help me, this is confusing as hell, when I tap the rotate button the gimbal doesn't rotate, the zoom in and out thing on the side doesn't work neither, the joystick doesn't work neither it is only stabilized but that's it
In my hohem app, app doesn't use wide angle lens. Why?
How can I open wide angle lens in hohem app?
Does it work for iphone
Hlo sir, i would like to know that how it is working till now.is it worth??
This thing is very frustrating to use, I have to fiddle with it way before any sort of shot to ensure it MAY work. I can't seem to figure out the combination to get it to work wen I want it to.
This Channel is amazing! 1sub from Brazil. Please talk about leds and rigs for smartphones. See yah!
thank you and welcome aboard! I did do a video on lighting, have you checked that one out? czcams.com/video/3pLQctsvQSw/video.html
Mine is not balanced only on POV mode strangely. It leans left. I tried all the instructions etc but never fixed it. It works fine on other modes.
I'm not a gimbal owner but the Insta360 Flow looks like a better option with fewer quirks and better tracking.
Way better than this gimbal
does it really need the app? does it work without app?
Is anyone else getting grainy footage ??? I can't figure out how to set up the manual settings in the app for shutter speed and the ISO is confusing
How do you zoom in and out
How does it work with wide lenses? I had to switch from the Zhiyun 4 to the Dji osmo 3 because the motor was always in frame.
It isn't covered in this video, but the gimbal has a curved bit where the phone is mounted specifically to stay out of frame. I got one of these last week, and the wide angle lens on my huawei p30 lite doesn't get photo-bombed by a gimbal arm/ rotor.
yeah it's a similar design to the DJI Osmo Mobile 3, motor should be out of shot
Thank you for all the replies.
Is the wide lens integrated in the Hohem app?
Sir can I recording 60fps?
Mine is also a bit crocked, was yours really a bad one?
Which mobiles are compatible to use this???
Hi bro 3 day ago buying gimbal have problems only Dolly zoom not working start closing hohem pro app Android devices have same problem?
didn't have that problem on my Samsung
Just a note, from iSteady X2 app setup and activation, do not connect via bluetooth before registering an account. Connecting the device is recognized as a text input, thus keypad is disabled on the phone and you wont be able to type anything. HTH
I have this gimbal. For the price, it's okay, but for me, it has pretty much become a piece of hardware, which is fine, but not "as advertised". At least for me, and I think part of that is because I'm on an android phone. First, my gimbal also is a bit "off" center. It simply won't sit fully parallel to the ground, but it's all good, I just adjust how I hold it, so it works for me, and the stabilization is actually awesome, but... my issues... the software for me is lame. The follow feature is "ok", like you say, but it loses me easily, and I have to move really carefully to get it to work. Not really useful. and the object option doesn't work at all for me. Only face. But my biggest issue is that I am stuck with only 30fps. The company has been really cool with me, trying hard to get all of the functionality available to iPhone users over to my LG V40, but it's way short, no matter what they do. My phone can shoot 24, 30, 60, 120 and 240 fps, but with the iSteady X, only 30, and so, that's really annoying. And pro mode is not as good as my native phone app in the LG, so, no use for that, either, and so, overall, if I want to play around with the moment settings, that's kinda fun, and maybe I can find a shot that might actually be useful in there, but overall, I use it with my native V40 app, as a piece of hardware gear, and once someone comes out with a gimbal that is really compatible with my phone, I'll probably abandon my little iSteady X. Having said all of that, it's hard to argue with the price, and given that, I'm grateful for some of the good things... to have really good stabilization, and the ability to have the gimbal turn over really easily for low-to-the-ground shots, and it's SO EASY to mount, which is not the case with many gimbals. It's light, and easy to carry around, like you said, you can just put it in your bag and forget about it. Oh, and it works really well with the wide angle lens on my phone, because the motor is offset enough, which is not the case with some of the other gimbals, another thing. So, there are some good things about it, some really useful things, but, in my opinion, just as hardware. I think for serious work, AT THE LEAST, I should be able to shoot at 24fps if I want to. Of course, I can use filmic pro with it, but again, just as hardware. Filmic will work with my V40, but Hohem's app is limited. Really limited. Bottom line. At least for android. Thanks for the video, once again.
Hello sir, I have bought this gimbal. The gimbal is not changing it’s direction when I change my path. What if I want to capture the video in a circular motion? I did auto calibration but there is no help. How can I achieve it ?
There are 4 modes. You can change them in the app in the settings (cog). Or use the buttons.
Press and hold shutter button. Now tap power button 1 time for Pan/Tilt Follow. 2 times: Follow. 3 times: ALL Lock. 4 times: POV
Mobile Motion thank you sir ! I got it . I will check !
Can we change the modes independently on the gimbal itself without having to use the gimbal's native camera? I mean, can we do that in third party cam app?
I can’t use my wide angle lens or my mic on this gimbal☹️ too heavy
Was wondering if all the features work with Android phones like Samsung note 20 ultra?
Hohem sent me the vlogger kit version, so I'm just about to run through it with the Note20 Ultra this time. But at the moment there seems to be a glitch with the app when I enable the bluetooth mic, the video files don't record properly. Aside from that, looks like they've worked on the Hohem Pro app a bit for Android, so looking forward to testing it with Note20 Ultra
@@SiHorrocks Great will look for it...
Looks ideal for carrying around on a bike, though a shame about all the faff getting it up and running.
yeah, not the best. But pretty affordable
Reasons why I'd rather use Glidecams than cheap gimbals
Can you please tell me how much time does it takes to full charge??
it should take about 2 hours
@@SiHorrocks sir mine is taking more than 6 hours😞
