Quick heads up for anyone there now is a way to switch modes on the Gimbal itself.
A) Press & hold down the shutter button
B) Then press the power button...

Thank you... I am going to pin this comment for people to see
@@ZdenkaDarula No problem! :)
Thanks your tip, I remember at the beginning play, but I forget after I did not play after a month. Your tip is helpful
@@ZdenkaDarula should I buy hohem I steady X or Moza Mini MX according to you. And I am an android user. Please give your opinion.
"There is nothing missing and there is nothing extra " - is the best line for me . Thanks đ.
đ finally someone noticed! I was giggling when I was writing that script as I was including that line. đđŹđ„đž
Awesome.. just the line i was looking for ..
I can't seem to find 4K 60fps for my Android phone, are you sure you have that for your Samsung phone? I heard it's only available for iPhones
This is not the best gimbal as I found defect in manual locks and the zoom is jerky in the two units received so far from Amazon. May be in India the sellers are dumping the rejected pieces from China.
@@consumercourt If you have any problem with the gymbal comment separately. Don't comment under my comment.
A great review! Thank you for explaining all of its features. I've watched other videos with this same gimbal but they didn't explain it the way you did. Gonna watch your other videos and reviews. đđđ
Thank you! This was very helpful. Iâve never used a gimbal before and didnât really know how to get started. Your explanations were very good.
You are very welcome đžđ„đđŹ
It is so useful to me bought same gimbal today! Thank you!
Thanks. Your video was the only one I found with a clear and detailed explanation of the capabilities of fps options in the app.
You are very welcome đ„đžđđŹ
It's just that description that I wanted...Thanks Zdenka
You are very welcome đ„đžđđŹ
Love this review Zdenka :) I was confused on which Gimbal to buy and your video cleared it all. Right away ordered from Amazon. Thanks! and yeah I subscribed too. Have a good day! love from India :)
You are putting in the work for this channel. Bravo. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much... yes I try to be well prepared đŹđđžđ„
Great review & tutorial! Very clear & concise...just purchased this last week đ
Thank you very much
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I'm in the process of creating film projects now, so its important to have the right equipment. (always)
You are very welcome
LOVE your demo's!!!!
Do you know if it can handle the iPhone 11 Pro with Moment 37mm filters?
Unfortunately Iâm not sure if it can handle filters and extra lenses
Hi Zdenka, Loving your advice and reviews. I think I told you I bought this steadycam. Now I bought the Ulanzi anamorphic. Do you have any recommendations for a counterbalance weight? I am thinking of another lens mount to put on the other side of the phone as I cannot see any other system for this gimble.
Thank you very much for sharing. Unfortunately I donât know any solution for that sorry
Hey Zdenka, I love your content! It's really cool that you mentioned all the locking mechanisms that lots of people arent and also the fact that can be used as a self-stick. You know a lot about gimbals, and I kinda have a doubt.
When you're walking around and you're done filming for now, is it okay to leave the phone on the gimbal, turn it off and stay in your hand dangling around on the side of your body or this can affect the motors?
Because of the fact that you can lock all motors on iSteady X, it makes sense to me since can be used as a selfie stick, which will be less harmful to the gimbal to be dangling. What do you think? Or all gimbals are fine to do that?
And also what's your take on motion timelapse on a gimbal so light, especially if it's windy?
Thank you very much for your support. I think they build the gimbals so it can handle stuff like that. When it comes to light wind no problem but I would try that in lots of wind with any gimbal
Great vĂdeo ! Do you actually get to make cinemĂĄtic vĂdeo with this gimbal since it's not compatible with filmic pro? Or You Think it's more for a personal use like quick staff Instagram etc
I think this is more for beginners although this is the only gimbal which I can film with using wide angle lens without actually seeing the motor and the shot and I do have a iPhone 11 Pro. đđŹđžđ„
Thanks for the review... 2 years ago I bought the dji osmo pocket and the app doesn't work well with android, same thing with the zhiyun.
I will also happy too see comparisons between filming without gimbal at all at first. However thank you for this. It was so helpful for me!
You are very welcome
Hello Zdenka, nice to see you got the Hohem iSteady X review, i am planning to get one. đ€©đ€©đ€©đ€©đ€©
Hi there. It is a great little gimbal for sure. I think you will like it. Enjoy đđŹđ„đž
Hey! thank you for your informative video! Quick question, can I attach an extendable tripod to this gimbal to increase height?
You are very welcome. You certainly can attach a monopod to the gimbal.
0:28 The intro sequence reminds me so much of the style we asked models to emulate back in the day on FHM and SI bikini edition shoots.
đ ok.,... Not sure what I mean but certainly it was not intentional. đđŹđ„đž
@@ZdenkaDarula LOL I know. It just triggered in my head this morning when packing away old copies of magazines. Thank you for the awesome content.
Was that stock footage at 11:34 or did you visit Downtown Las Vegas recently? Great review!
I never use stock footage
I just got the Osmo 3 this week and your videos have been extremely helpful. When doing a drone or crane shot move, was is the best shooting mode? And how to control or anticipate the view from start to finish? Thank you again for your work.
Thank you very much for your support and thank you very much for your suggestions. Many answers can be found through all my videos... Enjoy your on your gimbal
Thanks for the review of the product. I like that your review is just simple, concise, and straightforward.
You are very welcome
Thank you for reviewing this,there were no other proper reviews
Youâre very welcome. I had it here for a while I was waiting for the release date. đđžđ„đŹđž
Just updated to IPhone 12 and looks like this gimbal will be ideal for 1st time. Loved your video and well explained. Thanks
You are very welcome.... enjoy
Hi Zdenka! Thank you for this review! I own a DJI OM3 already (which is currently being repaired) so I thought about getting the hohem isteady as a secondary device. Would you recommend adding this to my gear list?
Oh! And also, can I use this with my Saramonic wireless mic system? I have the transmitterthat attaches to iPhone 11 (not the larger transmitter). Would the weight or functionality work?
Thank you for sharing your show so check out the new osmo 4 Which just came out I will make a review in two weeks. đŹđžđ„đ
I think this is the best packaging I have seen on a Gimbal. (still watching the video but wanted to say that first before it slipped off my mind) :)
And I agree. That was my reaction too when I first saw it đđ„đŹđž
Wonderful production, presentation and content. You really go above and beyond. How does the motor do when you have an external lens attached? Is the motor more powerful at the Osmo Mobile 3 and equal to the q2?
I donât think this is very powerful motor it is only for smart phone really.... đŹđ„đžđ
I have moment lenses and iPhone 12pro max- unfortunately- too heavy for this gimbal
Thanks for a great review. I have this gimbal and the Osmo 3. What I like about this one is the ease of use, the simplicity in operation. What I wish it had was 24 frames a second in the video, selection of all the lenses on my Iphone 11 pro max and better exposure control. Hopefully they will upgrade the firmware. But I just throw this in my moment phone sling bag with the camera, lenses, etc.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. Fully agreed... đđ„đŹđž
Hmmm... looks like wishes and regrets? I have 3 iPhones, all purchased for video production. Will an iPhone 11 PRO MAX be limited with this device? (and what is the fascination with 24fps?) I shoot in 4K
Hi Zdenka. Thank you for a brilliant insight into this gimbal. As a first time gimbal user I am about to order the steady X based on your review. I reckon I can experiment as a a newby for not too much money. Oen question: in the video you mentioned that it is not possible to lock exposure. Is this not a real problem? I noticed in one of your other videos you stated that if exposure is not locked "things can look a little colourful". Is this a big deal or should I just get on with it and experiment with the iSteady? Thanks & Regards Michael
I heard that they are about to come out with new app so it should be all taken care of. I would send them quick email and ask when the new app will be out. đ„đžđŹđ
Hey Zdenka!
Interesting review that makes me buy another gimbal.
I have filmed a lot with my smartphone but have had a lot of problems with wind noise when filming outdoors.
Today I got home a Röde VideoMic Me and it turned out very well despite strong winds.
Unfortunately, the mic does not fit when it is on the camera in my Vimble 2S gimble so I have to take a deep breath and order a Hohem iSteady X.
I think you should try a good external mic when filming outdoors with Smartphones.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. Wishing all the best
New to your channel truly amazing video and really enjoyed Deb.đâ
Thank you very much and welcome to the channel. đđ„đžđŹ
Hi Zdenka, great Video and i decided to buy this very gimbal thanks to Your Presentation. All the best and take care. Bye
Thank you very much for your support. I actually do like this game but itâs quite nice and the price is amazing. Iâm sure you will enjoy it. đŹđ„đđž
Hey zdenka!
I have been watching your review videos on smartphone gimbles lately. Could you please tell me does honem isteady x2 work on samsung galaxy s22 ultra?
I wish I could ask for this, however, I donât have that phone, so I really donât know. The best thing would be contacting their customer support and asking them directly or if they have compatibility list on their website please check there.
Love it. Your gimbal comparison review video brought me heređ»
Thank you very much for your support
Those locks are smart, necessary infact. Because till now the few Gimbals I have used (and one I am using), using phone in it is impossibly hard for Photography. And I am someone who switch between video and photos. My two photowalks ruined because of that. So good to see those locks in placed and hopefully will not cause the same troubles.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts đđ„đŹđž
Yes. The locks in this gimbal are defective. Even the zoom is jerky. The software is primitive. I have observed in two units bought from amazon
Great video. You mentioned in one of your videos about color grading app for the android. I cannot find that video again.
It is called VSCO where you can colorgrade photos and videos. đđžđ„đŹ
Thanks a million. Your reviews of gimbals are the best on CZcams.
nice review! and is it possible to change working mode(lock mode, pov etc) in hohem app but record using native camera?
Thank you very much. Unfortunately the moles have to be changed only in the app. đđŹđžđ„
Hello Zdenka, I hope that you'll make a comparison video with the new moza mini mx đ Awesome review btw.
Well how did you know? đđđ„đŹđž
I missed your Ahoi in very beggining... :D But u said later on :)
Thank you for all your tutorials...Love from India
Thank you very much for your support of many greetings to India. đđžđŹđ„
Great choice
I'm always waiting new gambles with new more features
Thanks for the review
BTW , you are so pretty đ„°
You are very welcome. Thank you very much for your support đđžđŹđ„
Hello Zdenka, between this gimbal and the Aochuan smart xr, which advise?
I want to buy a cheap gimbal and I am undecided between these two.
Or if you know another one within this price and better, please recommend me.
Thanks
I cannot make the decision for you.... sorry
Good work! you are the only vlogger testing with both Apple and android.
Thank you very much
Did you have any visible motor in frame while using S10 series? Better than Smooth Q2 for that issue?
No I donât have any issues. I donât see motors in the shot đđ„đŹđž
this one looks nice and I love the size of it, the portability has me sold.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts đŹđđ„đž
It is portable and does its job. But locks are defective and zoom pathetic with jerks.
subscribed pressed bell icon liked aswell,sooner im gonna buy this one hohen iSteady x ,thank you so your tremendous review on this
Your videos are always so simple and easy to understand by novices like me. People like me say "keep it up" . Although i am completely against Apple devices and devices made for the Apple ecosystem and will probably never use one.
Thank you very much for your support and sharing your thoughts đŹđđžđ„
Thanks Zdenk. Cristal clear.
Greetings from MĂ©xico.
You are very welcome
Ma'am you're just awesome.. so much informative video. đ
Great video thank you. How would you compare this to the Zhiyun Smooth Q2? Which is better? Thank you.
I donât know the answers yet I will be making a big comparison video. đŹđ„đđž
@@ZdenkaDarula Great will be interesting to see how it goes. DÄkuju
Good coverage and u answer the basic questions.. like if the same features are for both os, connectivity speed in both etc.. subbed đ€
Thank you very much for your support đđŹđ„đž
I didnt expect a reply... Thanks a lot đ
Thanks for the video! Was just wondering if you could lock the exposure when using inception mode and you answered it at the end. Iâve just bought this and you still canât lock the exposure from what I can see which is a bit pointless.
Just tap on the screen and hold for few seconds⊠that should do it
Very well explained and a detailed vdo on the gimble operation. Being a new CZcamsr this is extremely helpful to me.. Thanks for sharing. Have you made such review for Dji osmo 3? Coz I believe that's the one which has been most popular among all brands
Thank you very much for your support.... new DJI gimbal should be out in 2 months or so ... just a heads up đđ„đžđŹ
Have you tried this gimbal with any of the Moment lenses?
Yes I did. I have only anamorphic lens. đđ„đŹđž
Thank you very much Zdenka Darula and great job! Congratulations! I would like to ask you something if possible: with the latest app updates can I finally have access to the ultra wide angle lens of my smartphone? If this is not possible, did you find it difficult to film ultra wide angle through your phone while staying connected to the gimbal? Works well? Thank you so much for your eventual answer!
I am sorry I donât know the answerâŠ
Hi I wanna ask which gimbal is suitable for Canon M6 Mark2 (with standard lens) and Canon G7Xmark3..either DJI SC or Zhiyun Crane M2..I wanna buy gimbal for both of my Cameras...Thank u dear.
To be honest I have only one and that is Aircross 2 from Moza so I can not compare... sorry đđ„đŹđž
Great, thanks for sharing your review. Im thinking get one like this.
Youâre very welcome best of luck. đđ„đŹđž
Wow. Amazing review for an amazing woman. I'm buying this gimbal today, thanks a lot.
You are very welcome
Beautiful video, keep up with the awesome and great content đđ
Thank you very much for your support. đđ„đŹđž
Hey Zdenka! I just bought this gimbal and apparently it was given a lot of firmware updates! On my S20 FE ultra wide angle works inside their camera app (quite tricky, not so comfortable to switch between Ultra and wide lens and also tele is not available), 24fps works (no 60fps unfortunately), Pro/Manual settings of ISO, shutter and white balance are better placed.
Thank you very much for sharing
Great review Zdenka well explained.....I have Hohem isteady pro 2 for my Gopro's and it a brilliant piece of kit and use DJI Osmo mobile 3 for my phone.......stay safe.....thanks for sharing
Thank you very much for your feedback.... good to know you are happy đŹđđ„đž
You are awesome! I have to go back to this video and relearn my old gimbal. đđđ
Thank you.., wishing you all the best
Hi Zdenka, How the heck are you? Because of your awesome review of the dji Osmo 3 I bought it. Do you think this gimbal compares or is the dji still the better gimbal.?
How am I doing? All right a bit frustrated at what is going on in the world these days but living my normal life. I will be comparing those 2 gimbals soon. I think DJI might be better but they are very close... it depends if you have Android or Apple . Many greetings back to you đđ„đ„đž
thanks for this video ... this help me decide to buy hohem iSteady x.... i also watched your Gymbal comparison videos .. but this one is exactly what im looking for in a gymbal .. cheap, light, pocket sized. .. and yeah i subscribed.
You are very welcome. Best of luck. đđ„đŹđž
i just got mine today and to update, it can now manipulate multiple camera lens - wide, standard, zoom - via Hohem app using my android (P30pro) .
Hohem should hire you for their explainers. Super job.
Thank you very much.... I tried. đđžđ„đŹ
Very informative as always ... A quick pointer ... The pan tilt and other modes in the gimbal can be managed with a combination of taps on the power and the shutter key.. not super intuitive but it is there đ... BTW.. please keep up the good work.. I continue to learn a fair few things from your logs.
Hello! Can switching between the gimbal pan modes be done without using the app? Or does this only work when used with the Hohem app opened?
Thank you!
Does this gimbal absolutely require the app to operate a steady cam feature? I just need it to stabilize some handheld footage to be collected while walking, and I do not want to use the app.
I think you can use other apps but You do need to activate it with theirs first
Hi Zdenka, what's the differences between the Hohem isteady x and the isteady mobile plus? Love your videos and have learned a lot from you.
Keep them coming.
Stay safe.
Sky đźđČ
Thank you very much for your question. Unfortunately I only have iSteady x so I cannot compare... sorry đŹđ„đž
Does it support the weight of s10plus and moment lens? Thanks
It is the same like DJI but here you cannot really attach counterweights đđŹđ„đž
Hi
Can we use this gimbal for s21 ultra and that too without the app?
As I donât have that phone I donât know compatibility. That you need to check on their website. Yes you can switch modes in any app
hi can i use filmic pro app with anamorphic lens with isteady x ? Does hohem support all modes in filmic pro
No it doesnât
@@ZdenkaDarula does dji osmo support all mode with filmic pro and anamorphic lens
Any information about how the gimbal responds when you attach an external lens? How is the rebalancing? You covered the issue in the moza mx video but not here I believe
Unfortunately I havenât tested it out with this gimbal. I would say this gimbal is more for general use. đđ„đŹđž
My Xenvo wide angle lens exceeded the weight limit and I could not use it âčïž it would not balance properly.....but I ordered a much lighter lens and hopefully that one works better đ€·đ»ââïž
can Samsung s20+ fit to the gimbal what would you recommend
I would check Hohem website for compatibility list
Does this do body track like the DJI does? or does it only do face tracking?
It is the same thing. đŹđđ„đž
Whatâs the best gimbal to get right now to future proof your self any suggestions?
There is none future proof.... sorry
@@ZdenkaDarula lol better question which Gimbal can you use a wide angle and not see the gimbal or is there non currently available?
Hi there, which version of the app were you using with? Seems not connecting to my note 9, s10 lite
Iâm sorry this video is quite old and I donât have the gimbal anymore so I cannot really advice
@@ZdenkaDarula Sad to hear that. Was a nice piece, but should return now. Thanks for all your effort on gimbal comparisons. Helped a lot đ
hello can you make a review on Hohem iSteady Mobile+ and FeiyuTech VLOG pocket 2, thanks.
I unfortunately donât have access to those... sorry đđžđ„đŹ
Do you know if the app supports 4k video for Samsung s20 models?
Comparison review of gimbals will be published next week on Friday where I will talk about the apps. đđŹđ„đž
Zdenka- Could you make video on camera transition with anroid mobile and show editing part as well in any anroid app or easy video editing software for beginners.
Thank you very much for your request. Perhaps this video could help czcams.com/video/u_7-puThnUE/video.html
Is this the best gimbal on a budget or can you suggest anything that is even better and a Bigger Bang for the Bucks? Thx
I would try this one: czcams.com/video/rdj87CA6dzs/video.html
I use this with a Pixe Fold (no case) and the weight is maxxed out but it does work great...
Thank you very much for sharing
Hi Sdenka. When i film the shot low rider mode sometimes the filmation is bacwards, why?
Sorry, I donât know what you exactly mean by that
I just purchased the Hohem ISteady and found your video useful and easy to follow. My question why would I need to 24 Frame video⊠or need to adjust any speed. How does that add to or take away from my picture quality? Thank you;
Please look up basic filmmaking ⊠how to film in different speeds âŠ. And what different frame rates mean⊠for example this video: czcams.com/video/Bx1V6PqJZso/video.html
Can we used with iphone se2020 on filmic pro app without hohem pro app
I am sorry I donât know as this is older video and I donât have the gimbal anymore
Can I shift focus while shooting with gimbal's button or joystick?
Not unfortunately
Zdenka, is it compatible with iPhone 12 Pro? I use a GH5, but I am thinking of using an iphone for occasional gimbal shots. I'm a music biz photographer for 4 decades, now also doing videos and live streaming. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
It works well with 12pro
Zdenka, are you Canadian? just asking and I hope you don't mind. I loved watching your videos
Yes, I live in Canada for 26 years
The best video i have seen so far
You have quickly become one of my favorite CZcamsr
Thank you very much for your support
Excellent review
Same osmo 3
No iso
No shutter speed
24 frames
Whith android
All companies do not support Android
Hm.... I think you commented throughout the video as some of the issues you listed are not right.... yes to shutter speed and yes to iso.... đđ„đŹđž not the same like Osmo 3 but better in fact when it comes to Android
Wich app did you use?
Your camera lost capacity with the apps?
Images are pixellatted
I'm considering whether to return it
All the answers are in the video. I actually like those gimbal and I donât have any problems with it đžđđŹđ„
So so far I have watched a few of your viedos and I am not sure which is the overall best for samsung s22ultra. Can you point me to a few?
For that phone I would go with something stronger⊠Zhiyun smooth 5 would be a good choice
Can you do a comparison to the DJI mobile 3 (I believe that's its name).
Yes I will be making a comparison video. đđ„đŹđž
Yes I also want DJI mobile 3 vs this one please. Waiting for it đâ€ïžđ„°
YES.
Yeah looking forward to a side by side comparison.
This will be a good idea as even I want to buy a new gimble and wants to compare it with Dji osmo 3.
Hi, Zenka I have samsung note 9 which 1 is better this one or dji om 3? Thank you
I think this one
@@ZdenkaDarula thank you đ
Hi Zdenka! I'm choosing between this and the osmo 3.
I can get the osmo 3 combo with the tripod etc for about 115 usd
The I smooth x for about 57usd.
Ill have to get the isteady x from abroad tho so the warranty is a bit of a question.
Which would you suggest between the two? I'm just an amateur phone video shooter using it for some cooking videos and some b rolls on a p20 pro. Thanks!
I actually like the Hohem for android better. It is just easier to use. đžđđŹđ„
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks zdenka!
@@ZdenkaDarula Hi, in your comparison video of the app of 6 gimbals, you have put Hohem isteady x last for android. However, here in the comment, I saw you mentioned, Hohem supports android better than DJI or Zhiyun smooth x. How good is this unit based on your usage with Android? I am planning to use it with Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Thank you for all the comprehensive videos.
Hello. what are the the diferences with Hohem iSteady Mobile Plus?
Iâm sorry I donât know the other one. đŹđ„đž
Thanks for the review âïž
I just order it for me đ
May we check if this gimbal does motion timelapse? If so, did it work well? Are we able to set waypoints/intervals,/ durations ?
All the features were mentioned in the video. If it wasnât there then it doesnât have it. đđŹđ„đž
Noted w thanks
Hey Zdenka, have you checked the new one? The iSteady Mobile +?
This one is the best czcams.com/video/oRL34iOsK94/video.html
@@ZdenkaDarula Uau, that looks really cool, I just watched your video! But we can't get them in Brasil, my only options are iSteady X, iSteady Mobile+ & the ridiculous expensive DJI OM 4.
I never had a gimbal, but I really would like to buy a good one because I don't know when I will get another one. I really wanna chose right, I know there is no right or wrong, but when you have a budget it's important to try! Which of the Hohem would you chose if you could pick only one?
How does this comapre to the isteady plus? Which one would you recommend
I wish I could answer that but unfortunately this is the only gimbal I have and I donât know the other one. Sorry. đđŹđ„đž
@@ZdenkaDarula that's fine don't worry. Thanks anyway đđ
