hohem iSteady M7 Gimbal Stabiliser for Smartphone w/AI Tracker, Removable Controller, 500g Payload Gimbal Stabiliser for iPhone Android, 1.4 Inch Touchscreen & Built-in Extension Rod

I have been using this gimbal stabilizer with my iPhone 12 PRO, and it has made a big difference in the quality of my videos. I enjoy making online videos for my travel and gadgets reviews, and this tool helps me create smoother and more professional-looking footage.The iSteady M7 is very easy to set up and the Hohem Joy app walks me through all the steps I needed to do. The video instructions were clear, and I could start using it right away. I like how the controls are simple and intuitive, especially with the removable controller. This makes it convenient to adjust settings without touching my phone screen or the gimbal. The only confusing bit is that there is no instruction on how to view the camera overlay on the remote, I managed to worked it out and it is by swiping the remote control touch screen all the way to the right (once the gimbal is connected to the phone via Bluetooth)One of my favourite features is the stand alone AI tracker camera sitting on top of the gimbal. It keeps the subject in frame even when there is rapid movements, which is perfect for capturing action shots or filming people dancing. I have also used it to film myself while walking, and it keeps me centered and steady in the frame.The gimbal feels sturdy and well-built, and I trust it to hold my phone securely. The built-in extension rod is another great addition. It allows me to film myself handheld without having to use the wide angle lens which distort my face. There is also a side 1/4" mounting point for a secondary light to illuminate my face when I am filming at night.The touchscreen makes it easy to change settings on the go. I find the interface straightforward, all the functions have picture as well as in words of the name and I appreciate having quick access to all the features. Battery life is also reliable, lasting through my long video sessions without needing frequent charging.Overall, this gimbal stabilizer has been an excellent tool for my video-making needs. It has allowed me to capture smoother and more dynamic shots. A fantastic Christmas present to myself !

This thing is soooo much fun. AI tracking is amazing, motors are quite strong, so many functions and the detachable controller is next level useful if you shoot on your own. It’s robust but reasonably lightweight. There’s a learning curve if you never had a gimbal before but it’s worth it. Vertical balancing does get tricky if you use lens extensions with your phone but it handles the stated 500g without failure.

I've had the Hohem M6 gimbal for a while, but when I saw the new model was released, I felt like it was time for an upgrade. It holds my Samsung S25 Ultra with the case perfectly—no issues at all. The AI tracking is solid; I haven’t had a chance to take it outside yet, but from my indoor tests, it’s been flawless. The best part? The detachable display. It feels like the end of those frustrating moments when I had to reshoot low follow videos just because the framing was slightly off. Now, I can frame my shot properly and keep an eye on it while filming.

It is a big and heavy piece of equipment which is not practical at all, it is made for phones and most of the phones have side buttons, the clamp on this one covers those buttons and makes it difficult to operate, it could have been fixed easily if the clamp was vertical but then don't expect this company to understand suggestions from users.Even that 1 star is too much for this junk.

All the 5star reviews are correct. I’m all new to gimbals and think I’ve timed my entry into stabilised short form video content creation nicely. Tested out for first time and not being one who reads the manual I found balancing my phone then setting up the app a breeze. This is a well conceived product

This stabilizer truly shines with its exceptional stability, ensuring smooth and professional shots every time. What sets it apart is the intuitive remote control, which clearly displays the stabilizer’s balance status, allowing quick adjustments without any hassle. The best part? You can operate everything directly from the remote without needing a phone app, making the entire process seamless and incredibly user-friendly. It also offers features typically found in professional camera stabilizers, such as panoramic shooting, A-to-B point tracking, and time-lapse photography, making it a versatile tool for creators of all levels.

This is a really great product with exceptional functionality. There are several good YouTube videos that describe all of them.The face tracking feature has so far worked brilliantly and best of all from a creative point of view it does things I did not expect and so pushes creativity.

Very overpriced toy. Ai tracking i can tell now just doesn't work as expected. I bought it to film my daughter skiing. Every time I set her as object tracking works well as long as there is nobody around. As soon as anybody shows around it randomly picks object to track and usually its not my daughter so gimbal starts doing erratic moves.I bought it because of ai tracking and looks like wasted lot of money. Please save yours and buy something twice cheaper which will be doing exactly same job

Por mi afición a la fotografía, me puedo considerar afortunado de haber probado gran cantidad de gimbals de los que hay actualmente en el mercado. Algunos los he comprado y otros me los han dejado amigos para probar y he de decir que Hohem a día de hoy es una de las marcas que mejor calidad precio está ofreciendo y que más ha evolucionado en los últimos años.Al principio eran un poco sencillos y de calidades un poco mediocres, como el primer modelo de isteady que tuve. Poco a poco fueron implementando su catálogo con otros como el Multi o los que sacaron para cámaras de acción, y con los modelos X y X1 la cosa cambió. Ya se empezó a notar un cambio en los materiales y las calidades.A día de hoy, modelos como este M7 no tiene nada, pero nada que envidiar a los DJI los FEIYU o los ZHIYUN, marcas estas, de las que he tenido y tengo varios de sus modelos, como el Scorp o el Smooth 5.Este modelo nuevo de Hohem mejora en mucho con respecto al modelo anterior. Mejor autonomía, mayor potencia de los motores, mejor software y una aplicación más completa y con mejores efectos. Además, la tendencia del mercado está cambiando mucho, porque con los nuevos modelos de teléfono podemos obtener los mismos y prácticamente iguales resultados que con equipos mucho mas caros y pesados.Este nuevo M7 me gusta porque una vez centrado el teléfono y equilibrado, podemos llegar a obtener unas 12 horas de autonomía, y si a esto le sumamos la gran cantidad de planos que podemos llegar a conseguir con un poco de imaginación y con los diferentes modos que tenemos en la aplicación, nuestros videos van a dar un salto de calidad espectacular.Es sin duda un complemento muy interesante para todos aquellos a los que nos gusta la fotografía.La ergonomía y el manejo es muy buena y podemos llegar a los diferentes botones sin tener que sujetar el gimbal con las dos manos. Tememos además una nueva pantalla que podemos retirar del cuerpo del gimbal que nos permite poder operarlo sin necesidad de usar el móvil, ya que en la misma podremos llegar a ver lo que se está filmando y desde esta misma pantalla, poder configurar los diferentes movimientos y efectos preconfigurados sin tener que hacerlo desde el móvil. Además, la pantalla cuenta con joystick, por lo que podremos controlar todos los motores a distancia.Esta pantalla se carga al volver a conectarla con el cuerpo del gimbal.Otra de las ventajas de este gimbal es que cuenta con brazo extensible, lo que nos permite hacer tomas a ras de suelo sin tener que agacharnos y al mismo tiempo poder usarlo de palo selfie o para poder grabar por encima de concentraciones de gente. Esto es una gran ventaja frente a otros modelos y además, el hecho de tener este paso en el cuerpo del gimbal no hace que la autonomía sea inferior. Como ya he dicho, podemos llegar a alcanzar las 12 horas de uso sin problemas.Los motores son realmente potentes y según las instrucciones, podremos poner móviles de hasta 500 gramos, cosa que lo veo un poco exagerado, ya que ese peso solo lo tienen los móviles rugerizados y no sé si alguno llegará a tanto.En resumen, que no tendremos problemas de desfallecimiento o fatiga en los mismos.Podemos usarlos sin problema con la lente gran angular de nuestros móviles, y aunque el eje central se encuentre en el campo de visión, si pulsamos 4 veces seguidas el gatillo del gimbal, este girará sobre si mismo, permitiendo que el eje se sitúe en la pantalla del móvil y de esa manera no perjudicar las tomas. Es algo muy muy interesante, ya que el gimbal sigue funcionando perfectamente y ofreciendo la misma estabilidad.Viene en una caja de transporte semirrígida que nos ayudar a tener todo a mano y a que no se dañe en los viajes.Es un gimbal muy bueno a un precio un poco elevado la verdad, pero que si lo comparamos con otros más caros, nos ofrece las mismas caracteristicas características y posibilidades por mucho menos dineroHohem lo ha hecho otra vez muy muy bien.

スマホジンバルとしてはかなり本格的な構造と、柔軟性の高い機能性を備えた一本。手ブレ補正という基本機能は当然ながら、その枠にとどまらない多彩な動きと制御のしやすさが魅力になっている。特に注目すべきは、AIトラッカーがジンバル本体とは別モジュールになっていること。この構成により、専用アプリを使わなくても、スマホの標準カメラやBlackmagic Cameraなどの映像系アプリをそのまま使いながら、対象のトラッキングが可能になる。録画トリガーもそのまま使えるため、現場での操作も途切れずスムーズ。アプリ制約に縛られないという点で、映像制作に慣れた人ほど恩恵を感じる構成かもしれない。また、1.4インチのタッチスクリーンがリモコンとして分離できる設計も地味ながら実用性が高い。撮影中に遠隔で操作したいとき、あるいはフレーミングを客観的に確認したいときに重宝する。画面上でのダブルタップやドラッグで被写体選択ができるのも、細かくトラッキングしたい場面で便利。全体の剛性も高く、金属の質感もしっかり。バランス調整も感覚的に行える作りになっており、初期設定でつまずきにくい。さらに、三脚機能付きの脚部が備わっているだけでなく、内蔵の自撮り棒として193mm分伸ばすことも可能。高めのアングルを狙いたいときや、ペット目線のようなローポジションでも使いやすい。スペックシートの情報（要点抜粋）:* 対応：iPhone/Android* 耐荷重：最大500g* 本体重量：約629g* 折りたたみ時サイズ：336×57×159mm* 展開時サイズ：約330×120×130mm* タッチスクリーンサイズ：1.4インチ（取り外し可能）* フル360度無限パン回転 / 325度チルト範囲* AIトラッカー搭載（前後RGBフィルライト付）* Bluetoothリモコン（10m範囲）一方で本体重量はやや重ためなので、長時間の手持ちには向かないケースもあるかもしれない。とはいえ、その分の安定性と精密さが確実に撮影結果に反映されるため、ある程度しっかり撮りたいという人にとってはむしろ安心材料とも言える。気軽に持ち運ぶライトユースのジンバルではないが、スマホで本格的に映像を撮りたい人や、トラッキングを駆使した表現を取り入れたい人にとっては、選択肢として十分に主力級。特にアプリ依存を減らしたい、あるいは高精度の制御にこだわりたいという方におすすめしたいモデル。

Not really that simple to use! The video does not display on the remove once I remove from the device the remote video image disappears! You also need the microphone because you can’t plug the ones you already have as it doesn’t fit with balancing! Need also the tripod as the one it goes with is so short not even worth it!

Stabilization is top notch, but there was issue with ai tracking, it started struttering when using ai tracking, issue maybe with ai tracking module, ordered a new one, will update after i test the newer ghimbal.

I was very impressed with this gimbal. I've had several gimbals before and this war by far the easiest to set up, the calibration was fast and simple. The app (Hohem Joy) offers short video tutorials so you can quickly get started.The iSteady M7 has a lot to offer! Some outstanding features to me are the:- The remote control is handy if you're shooting alone. The screen image quality is decent and the AI real-time preview helps when you're shooting with the rear camera. It has all the control options you need on it, namely the type of gimbal mode you want (Pan only follow, pan and tilt, POV (all 3 motors) and custom lock). The option to choose what the scrolling wheel does (focus, pan, roll, tilt, fill light, rgb). You can use the AI real time preview to select an object to focus by double tapping and triple tapping to unselect. Although doing that is easier on your big phone screen.- Reverse charging, it can charge your phone if it's running low on battery while you're filming- Tripod base and integrated extendable stick, they feel very sturdy, high quality product- The AI camera with the hand gestures. The tracking of the face works very well, there's a small light indicator in front of the camera that tells you if the AI tracking is on or not (green/red colors). I was impressed by how nice it is at tracking and registering the hand gestures, if you go out of bounds of the camera vision and come back it'll still keep on tracking you. This is perfect for solo shoots where you move around a lot. There are 4 different hand gestures: start AI tracking, stop tracking, reframing the shot, stop/start recording.- The AI tracker is also a light/rgb light that is pretty bright! You can adjust the light's hue and intensity as well as the color if you're using the RGB light. The scroll wheel on the side works well for this.- The wide angle feature allows you to quickly move the motor to the front of the phone so it doesn't get in the way of the camera recording.- The rigid carrying case feels study and nice, it has a little loop on one side to hold on to.- The trigger on the back of the gimbal handle gives you quick access to the Locked motors mode and sports mode as well as the inception effect mode. It has many more features like Selfie mode, wide angle mode, etc.Overall, I am very impressed with the quality and amount of features packed in this gimbal.
