Your video tutorials are like a comedic chef's kiss - absurdly good and surprisingly easy to follow! I'm now a walking advertisement for your tutorials, constantly reminding people: "Check out Zdenka's tutorials!" Speaking of which, I admit I fell victim to the allure of the IA tracker. I got mine, all excited to film my epic train journey, only to have it vanish into the void like a magician's assistant in the middle of the journey. Turns out, I needed the IA tracker about as much as I need a third arm. only have it attached to your camera if you really use it. Lessons learned? 1) Don't be a gadget-hungry gremlin like me. 2) Carry your IA tracker like a precious jewel, not a forgotten sock. 3) And most importantly, keep watching Zdenka's tutorials! They're like the comedic GPS of the gimbal world, always guiding you on the right track (pun intended).
Your comment made me laugh so hard. The description was funny. I had to read it 3x to fully understand lol… yes don’t treat the AI sensor as socks 🤣🤣 I saved your comment.. it will be used in upcoming video 👍👍😂
Only one comment, Excellent! I skipped by these videos and went to others, I returned and these are the best, clear, honest, informative and truthful, placing herself in the same positions that we all experience solving or exposing them, educational and practical solutions to getting the best out of a product that was designed to work for the photographer/videographer! 5*****
but what about focus pull? like using a Black Magic pocket 4k, or a Lumix GH 5S... is there a focus pull from this company that is automatic that one can connect to the gimbal jut like the DJI RS3 Pro has? that would be it for a better price!
What a great gimbal. Thank you for such a detailed and interesting demonstration, Zdenka. I was especially impressed at how well it followed you when you moved around outdoors. I wish I was in the market for one. I would definitely consider it.
Hi Zdenka Darula, Great explication about the Gimbal MT2, but I stayed with a doubt. Can you help me? In the video, you said that, you can change the camera to used (both model M6 with MT2 model), between camera of back or the front at the phone, correct? In the model Hohem Isteady M6, you can direct the "Ai Track" both sides. If you use the frontal camera, you can direct the "Ai Track", else If you use the camera back, you can change direction of "Ai Track". My question is, in the model MT2, can you direct the "Ai Track", to both sides too? I think no. Wil need the change position of phone at the Gimbal?
it's an insanely amazing gimbal. I like the framing on the left or right side. It is an intelligent idea. I think there is no gimbal with the framing capability like it until now?
Hi, thanks to your tutorials I purchased Hohem iSteady MT2 and I'm trying it. Since you were so kind to answer my question, I'll ask you a new one: If I mount a GoPro 11 Black on the Gimbal and connect it to the GoPro, how can I pilot it (give start and setting commands etc) from my iPhone 12 with the Hohem Joy App? I would be really grateful if you could solve this problem for me. I hope in your answer. Thanks and happy Sunday. Walter
Hohem has a list of cameras on their store site. G85 is in the list, but it will not support cable control for this camera... Strange, because it is the same as gh4...
If the papers say it can track to 3.5 m (5:00) the on-line tutorial says it can track 5 m, although you tested greater than that. Also, they used the A7R-IV as their test camera, which had the cable connector in the right configuration for the cable to point in the right direction (12:00).
Hi Zdenka, do you think It will be able to zoom el. lenses, probably not on your Canon but for example RXVII or ZV1? like Crane M2 did? I think a lot of people will be interested in that. Or is zooming a smartphone thing only? Thank you. Great work by the way. Greetings from Czech 😊
So far I wasn’t able to get that going as I don’t have follow focus motor. I am not sure if they have one but I will certainly ask about that. If it is available I will include it in the guide video for sure … many greetings to Czech
I recently got a Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra and I also have a Sony RX100 VII. My wife and I are going on an Alaskan cruise next year and I've been looking at gimbals and other accessories that don't take up much room in a suitcase. I bought the RX100 instead of packing my DSLR equipment. This was a great review and looks like a great piece of equipment that will work with both. Thank you for the review and keep up the great work.
Recently purchased the MT2 with a Remote Control. Having difficulty figuring out how to connect the Remote Control with the gimbal itself. You might want to consider making a short video on how to do so. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice Video... I like your videos so much... My Question is: Is the fingersign "ok" in the video later ? or is there a counter ? Cause if the fingersign later in video i must cut them or ? Is DJI Mic (wireless) a good combi with MT2 ? I like DJI Mic ... Or is that not so good ? And which filter you use on your cameralens ? Thank you for answering. I will buy the this MT2 with Sony 6700. LG from germany (bavaria) . Thom
I have a question. I know you can get the MT2 to lock onto a persons face but CAN IT lock onto an object? As an example, if you wanted to walk around a product could it lock onto that object instead of a face? Thank you so much for a reply. Great video thanks.
Hi, I'm about to buy a Hohem iSteady MT2 and I learned a lot from your tutorials which are very well done and for which I thank you. I still have a doubt: by mounting a GoPro or an iPhone on the gimbal, can I make 360° infinite spin shoot videos (a 360° panorama of the sky)? I would be very happy if you gave me an answer. Now I thank you and say goodbye. Walter
So nice, how does it work with the blackmagic app on iPhone 15 pro and max. Or is this overkill for that. I have a fuji xt4 that would be nice with this too.
If you only use smart phone, I would get the M6. If you are using bigger cameras, then it would be good. There is no gimbal, which is supported by blackmagic yet. so you would only use it for stabilizing the footage
I use my Sony camera it, but I also use very light lens. I found that the AI tracking sensor is not hundred percent working if you use a little bit bigger lens. It kind of blocks the view so the sensor cannot get you. If your set up, is below the maximum payload, then you should be fine
Hello Zdenka, If you make a detailed video about the gimbal, then please go to the Bluetooth control with cameras (Sony) that no longer have a multi-port. So only controllable with Bluetooth coupling. Such a video will certainly find a wide response.
Hi Zdenka, great review so I decided to go ahead and buy one for my Canon M50 mark II. I have tried to connect the camera via Bluetooth as the cables that came with the kit done fit, don’t know if you could help but each time I try and connect the Bluetooth my camera shows Err 70 so it won’t pair…. Question is have you any idea what could be the issue and so I really need to connect my camera thank you
I wish I could help but unfortunately I am not sure what the error could be. Please contact Hohem directly .. they’re technical support should be able to help out
I really like the information you give us on all of the devices and such. I don't understand much of what you are saying, as I don't know the terminology, but I am learning. I want one of these type of devices. Thank you for your hard work and knowledge. Blessings!
Hi Zdenka!! I was very close to ordering the M6 as I only shoot with my iPhone 14pro (and a GoPro) *for now* but then I saw this MT2 and I think I might go with it instead with the future in mind (think A7Siii). However.. I'm a little confused. While this thing has a nice payload of 1.2kg, it seems that the max weight for smartphones is 200g. Is this correct, or am I misunderstanding you?
good afternoon! what's up? which Tamrom lens did you use on the gimbal, and did you manage to calibrate it?! i ask because i have the viltrox 75mm f1.2 lens (23.6 oz / 670 g - 3.4 x 4" / 87 x 101 mm), and i couldn't calibrate it because of the weight and 101mm dimension... your content was very enlightening, congratulations. Cheers
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks for coming back as for the Tamron 28-75mm lens, did you try using it on the Gimbal or did you have trouble calibrating it because of its dimensions and weight? great day to you. Cheers
I wonder if you can answer this question for me. I ordered a MT2 gimbal on amazon and the package was obviously all ready opened. It had no instruction manual in it. I ordered another and it was plastic wrapped but still did not contain an instruction manual. Do you know if they just don't include an instruction manual or is this another open box problem. Thanks so much.
I unfortunately don’t know the answer. They have online PDF version of manual, which will be for you easier to read as you can zoom in. Just look it up in Google.
Hello again. I'm wondering how you would compare this to the Weebil-S? Also when you answered my question that I put under the wrong video I think you said the Weebil S was a3 in 1 gimbal. What did you mean by that? Thanks and sorry for the confusion.
Hello Zendeka, I ordered the MT2, I'm curious how the control will work with the smartphone and the Joy app. Among other things, I have the Sony RX10/4, which alone weighs about 1200 grams. With a Sennheiser Mic M200 it is just above that. I was looking for the controls for my M6 in the app, but unfortunately couldn't find them. The app shows a different start menu than in your video. The MT2 is displayed at the top and below it the settings Phone Camera Remote Control. Then Joystick Control etc. Is this only available for the MT2. I'm looking forward to your complete video on the MT2. It would be nice if you would also explicitly address the control with the smartphone.
*H Zednkai* *Thanks for the great informative video 👍✨✨✨✨* *is it possible to use this gimbal with Nikon Z6 ii and sigma 85mm 1.4 leans with fringer mount adapter?*
Hi Zdenka, regarding MT2, you mention in your video that it could take a smartphone just over 200g , but the mt2 payload is max 1.2kg. So can it not handle an iPhone 15 pro max, with an anamorphic lens which is 200g , and an iPhone case as well ? Or was your statement maybe a typo error ? Thanks 😇
I mostly use my phone to record video but i would like to have the flexibility to use a dslr camera and action camera. Should i buy this or am ok to just save the money and buy the m6
Ahoj Zdenka , could you please help me or someone else? I'm recording a video using the iPhone 13 Pro at 24fps 4K, and I'm also using the OM5 Gimbal. I move slowly and even use ND filters, but when I slightly turn the camera, the video becomes choppy and not smoothly continuous. Can anyone advise me on what to do? I'm using the Filmic Pro app for recording. Thank you for any advice.
thanks for the video so is the ai Tracking only for people ? 🤔 can i track an object ? can i mark the tracking target whether a human or object using the Hohem app on the phone ? like in osmo pocket 3
It could but not with AI sensor.. only in their app. It is not going to be that precise though as ball moves too fast. It is better with static objects.
When you do your in-depth review of the MT2, you should explain in more detail how to pair with the HRT-03 remote: HRT-03 power off, press MT2 Mode button 7 times to put it in paring mode, then power-on the HRT-03 remote. It is the same remote that came with my iSteady X2.
Great presentation as always, you've included all aspects of use. I've seen several other reviews of this gimbal and in some of those the AI tracking of subject's movements was somewhat jittery. You moved sideways in a quite slow manner which would correspond my own (planned) use. If the budget allows, this will be my next gimbal purchase. I'm running guitar playing livestreams as well as that I'm doing ZOOM workshops. The option of placing the main talking head camera with a wide lens and move in the room showing guitars, equipment etc, would be so liberating, and it will surely increase the quality of the video presentation. Thank you!
Great Video! Awesome new gimbal from Hohem, look like this is an upgrade of the M6 gimbal that you review on your previous video... very informative, Thank you... What are the comparison of this Hohem MT2 gimbal vs the Zhiyun Crane-M3S, look like they are very similar, Can you do a comparison of these two. Thanks...
Hi Zdenka, thanks for the video, I have question for you, I buy Hohem M6 and I return, because big trouble if you want to use with iphone 15 promax and work with apple pro res 4K 60fps you need to putt ssd (t7 samsung) and when you install the Iphone impossible to connect in usb-c in the iphone. Do you thing with the M2 should be ok?
Unfortunately, with the new phone, I have no idea as I don’t have that model. I just got 15 pro myself three days ago and I’m about to do all the testing.
Hi Zdenka, thanks for your reviews. I was looking at the iSteady M6 but this seems much more versatile (in terms of camera types). I'm puzzled about the weight limits for the different cameras however. 1.2 kg for an SLR but only 200g and 100g respectively for smartphones and action cameras. My S22 Ultra weighs about 230g and my GoPro 8 weighs 126g both at or above the limits you mention. Can you explain this disparity in weights?
@@ZdenkaDarula Hi Zdenka, I'm just going on what you mentioned in your video (at 1:58). I haven't any further information. I guess I can reach out to Hohem and see what they say. I'll let you know if/when they get back to me.
Hi Zdenka, I managed to get a call back from Hohem and they confirmed that up to 1.2kg, everything is OK. They say that there are no issues with mobile phones or action cameras up to the 1.2kg limit
Hello, Zdenka nice review as always. After wandering around to get a new gimbal the AI thing and the idea to use the monopod to get it longer that we discussed in the M6 review convinced me to get the M6 one, and it is really awesome,if the position of the subject is contrasted ok from the background the tracker perform a very good job. Something that I realized after watch this review in the MT2 and this could be a good video for you. In the M6 you can flip the AI sensor and for my usage this is super nice since I do POV and the tracker mostly follow my head. So I can point the camera where I am looking and the AI follow the position of my head without have to hold the trigger or control. It is possible to attack an action camera in the M6 with rubber bands to hold it in place (none of current polished solutions to attach the action camera in smartphone gimbal have worked) and use behind the arm the Ulanzi PT-4 to counterweight (in which I've acquired after noticed you using something similar when demonstrated the Smooth 4 with lenses, btw. How to film B roll with ZHIYUN SMOOTH 4 was the video). The M6 is capable to hold the action camera without the counterweight, however in some positions the motors will shake the footage, so it is better to balance properly.
You are very welcome. Unfortunately I don’t have that camera so I cannot test it but it should be possible. If you go to Hoham website, there should be a compatibility list.
also, just to be clear, the app features like custom timelapse for Cameras(not phone) are there in both androd as well as iphone right? will thos hold something like tamron 1770? i am guessing it will be too much, but something like sigma 1850 should be fine right? on a sony apsc ? thanks again for the video!! wonderful and informative as always!
I cannot confirm Android phones. It will vary depending on the model of the phone. As far as those lenses go, make sure the total weight is not more than max payload… I literally use scale myself to see the weight
Thanks friend for your review, I looked all over for the remote HRT-03 and couldn't find it. Can you post a link to it or is it something that you just so happened to have from prior Hohem reviews? Thanks.
I was just wondering if the AI tracker can track objects instead of human. For example i want to do some car roller shots and i want it to track the car. Is that possible? Thanks!
No it is not possible as object cannot show track sign. It is only recognizing humans. If you need object tracking then you have to use app where you can select object on the screen.
Hello. I already own the iSteady M6. Can I use the AI Vision Sensor of that model with this iSteady MT2? Is it compatible or interchangeable? Just in case I lost or misplaced the AI Vision Sensor of the MT2?
Finally, a gimbal that might give me what I want. Do you know, do you have to be facing for it to track? I will be using it for climbing videos, and most of the time, I'm facing away from the camera.
@@ZdenkaDarula Interestingly I’ve seen videos of people with helmets on that you can’t see a face and the Hohem website calls it body tracking. I might have to get it just to try :). Regarding Insta360 option, I already have the 360 lens for R and the quality is terrible (when cropped ok) compared to my Sony camera on 4K. I can already (normally) film a climb by using a wide enough lens to fit the whole thing in, just want to be able to film, in 4K, closer in.
Hi Zdenka! Thanks for your review! :) Helped me alot. I have been searching in the manual and have one Q. Can you track objects? lets say I am moving around a motorbike, can the system center it automatically?
Hi Zdenka, if my Sony rx100mv camera is not on the compatibility list, can I still use the basic movements like pan, tilt, follow, timelapse, hyperlapse? I know the tracking does not require a connection, but I am concerned about the basic movements, thank you.
Why does the AI sensor detach and what happens if you put a camcorder with a folded out display will it snap itoff. Sure it's worth the money but still a lot of money if you see what I mean
It is just like any gimbal. If you want to have screen out you have to be very cautious not turning it around. I cannot answer why they made the sensor detachable but I am assuming because of the power… to save battery perhaps 🤔
Did I understand correctly that the smartphone payload (~200 g) is different from the mirrorless camera payload (1.2 kg)? Is that in the manual? I wonder why that is…
I've got a Panasonic GH6 mounted on the MT2 and it keeps giving "Error 03" on the display. Anybody know what it means? Nothing in the manual or the website for it.
Solution: Make sure on the first step when you balance the tilt axis, you have the camera lens pointed UP. That was my mistake. I had mine pointed forward and it screwed up the panning motion. If you have to go back and correct the first step, make sure you rebalance every other axis. It's working perfectly now. My mistake.
is the AI sensor on this one the same one that comes with the M6? If so, does it offer the new tracking you showed where I can track myself side frame to show to the rest of the frame with what I want to shoot?
@ZdenkaDarula given how much Apple and Samsung target the filmmaker in their launch events, you think they would open their camera APIs up to the gimbal manufacturers for this purpose.
Hi my friend. Great timing! Hohem just sent me an email pitching this new gimbal for release tomorrow and i was immediately wondering who in here got one to review already... naturally its you! So question, i use Sony ZV-E10 and already have the Zhiyun Crane M3, not the new model.... would this be a better option because its versatile with all it includes and has the tracking? I could sell the Crane M3 hopefully if this seems better in comparison. I have the Hohem isteady V2 with its tracker sensor and its amazing. Thanks Zdenka 😊
Hey! Good morning ☕️ Okay… well I’m so glad that I waited and not purchase the that’s for smart phone only. The one you did the video on six months ago. This one has it for all 3 DSLR, Cell Phone and Action Camera. I’m ordering this now 🥰 Thank you 🤓
I looked at the specs for this gimbal and watched a few videos, including yours of course. The biggest issue, maybe the only issue, with this gimbal and other in its class is the payload capacity. I shoot with a R6 MKII and the RF lenses are heavy. But for a smart phone or an action cam this thing looks awesome.
Hello Zdenka, I now have the MT2 and have tried my Sony RX10/4, which weighs around 1200 grams and when the lens extends has a total length of 20 cm. I didn't manage to stabilize them on the gimbal. Error message Error 03 keeps coming up. It works with my RX100/ 7 (300 grams), my Samsung ultra 23 and my r GOPRo 11. How heavy is your camera and how long is it?
Honestly, you have to make sure you don’t exceed the maximum payload. If you are getting an error, that means that you’re probably way over. it would be best to ask him directly for any technical problems they might encounter.. I only can talk about what I have here
@@ZdenkaDarula HI Darula! Hohem answered me from the site so I bought the Mt2. Yesterday I received the Hohem mt2 and it works with the DJI Action 3 but it is not possible to use the functions with bluetooth. AI works great with Dji Action 3 and others camera!!! Thanks for the video and support.

Hohem has a list of cameras on their store site. G85 is in the list, but it will not support cable control for this camera... Strange, because it is the same as gh4...
Yes, as someone else responded, please check compatibility list. When it comes to the wire, I’m sure you can buy it somewhere separately.
If the papers say it can track to 3.5 m (5:00) the on-line tutorial says it can track 5 m, although you tested greater than that. Also, they used the A7R-IV as their test camera, which had the cable connector in the right configuration for the cable to point in the right direction (12:00).

Is DJI Mic (wireless) a good combi with MT2 ? I like DJI Mic ... Or is that not so good ?
And which filter you use on your cameralens ?
Thank you for answering. I will buy the this MT2 with Sony 6700.

The OK sign enables tracking, but it does not enable recording. You have to press shutter button after or before.., I use Freewell VND filter

Yes you can do object tracking but it has to be through their app, not the AI sensor
The gimbal looks amazing, and your review of it was really helpful. Thank you!
You are very welcome
May I ask on vertical setup, what is the weight limit of the gimbal?
They don’t specify a difference between horizontal or vertical… it is the same

You are very welcome and enjoy
I wonder if this will pair up nicely with my R6ii and the RF 24-70 which is a heavy lens. Thought?
Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with the Camera so I cannot answer this. It is best to go to their website to check their compatibility list.
So nice, how does it work with the blackmagic app on iPhone 15 pro and max. Or is this overkill for that. I have a fuji xt4 that would be nice with this too.
If you only use smart phone, I would get the M6. If you are using bigger cameras, then it would be good. There is no gimbal, which is supported by blackmagic yet. so you would only use it for stabilizing the footage
It does'nt seem to work with fujifilm x-t4..... i didnt find any video with the mt2 and x-t4. thx
If it is not on the compatibility list, then it may not be suitable unfortunately
Is there on the market, the gimbal with zoom option ,, using action camera????
Unfortunately, I’m not sure
Great video! May I ask if this gimbal fits in with sony A7iii with standard 28mm-70mm FE3.5-5.6 kit lens? I need your opinion 🙏

I have tried to connect the camera via Bluetooth as the cables that came with the kit done fit, don’t know if you could help but each time I try and connect the Bluetooth my camera shows Err 70 so it won’t pair…. Question is have you any idea what could be the issue and so I really need to connect my camera thank you
I wish I could help but unfortunately I am not sure what the error could be. Please contact Hohem directly .. they’re technical support should be able to help out
Hello, will this work with a DJI Action 4? If so do i need any other accessories? Thank you and great video!❤
Unfortunately, I cannot answer as I don’t have Action 4 sorry
I really like the information you give us on all of the devices and such. I don't understand much of what you are saying, as I don't know the terminology, but I am learning. I want one of these type of devices. Thank you for your hard work and knowledge. Blessings!
You are very welcome… I understand what you mean. There are many things to learn. Take it step by step don’t get overwhelmed
Hi Zdenka!! I was very close to ordering the M6 as I only shoot with my iPhone 14pro (and a GoPro) *for now* but then I saw this MT2 and I think I might go with it instead with the future in mind (think A7Siii). However.. I'm a little confused. While this thing has a nice payload of 1.2kg, it seems that the max weight for smartphones is 200g. Is this correct, or am I misunderstanding you?
No, the minimum weight is 200g… You can certainly put heavier smartphones on this.
good afternoon!
what's up?
which Tamrom lens did you use on the gimbal, and did you manage to calibrate it?!
i ask because i have the viltrox 75mm f1.2 lens (23.6 oz / 670 g - 3.4 x 4" / 87 x 101 mm), and i couldn't calibrate it because of the weight and 101mm dimension...
your content was very enlightening, congratulations.
Cheers
I used Tamron 17-28mm lens and no problem. Yes, I could also calibrate it
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks for coming back
as for the Tamron 28-75mm lens, did you try using it on the Gimbal or did you have trouble calibrating it because of its dimensions and weight?
great day to you.
Cheers
I wonder if you can answer this question for me. I ordered a MT2 gimbal on amazon and the package was obviously all ready opened. It had no instruction manual in it. I ordered another and it was plastic wrapped but still did not contain an instruction manual. Do you know if they just don't include an instruction manual or is this another open box problem. Thanks so much.
I unfortunately don’t know the answer. They have online PDF version of manual, which will be for you easier to read as you can zoom in. Just look it up in Google.
What about controlling zoom or focus with mirrorless cams?
Not possible yet
Thank you for the review. It is very helpful for solo vlogging to make more creative shot. I would like to see the tracking distance between MT2 & M6.
It is not too far as it is shown in the video…, both are the same
Hello again. I'm wondering how you would compare this to the Weebil-S? Also when you answered my question that I put under the wrong video I think you said the Weebil S was a3 in 1 gimbal. What did you mean by that? Thanks and sorry for the confusion.
This one is more updated and you can do tracking with this one. I meant that it can also handle a mirrorless camera
@@ZdenkaDarulathank you
Hello Zendeka, I ordered the MT2, I'm curious how the control will work with the smartphone and the Joy app.
Among other things, I have the Sony RX10/4, which alone weighs about 1200 grams. With a Sennheiser Mic M200 it is just above that.
I was looking for the controls for my M6 in the app, but unfortunately couldn't find them. The app shows a different start menu than in your video. The MT2 is displayed at the top and below it the settings Phone Camera Remote Control. Then Joystick Control etc.
Is this only available for the MT2.
I'm looking forward to your complete video on the MT2. It would be nice if you would also explicitly address the control with the smartphone.
I’ll be creating the video in 2 or 3 weeks… stay tuned
*H Zednkai*
*Thanks for the great informative video 👍✨✨✨✨*
*is it possible to use this gimbal with Nikon Z6 ii and sigma 85mm 1.4 leans with fringer mount adapter?*
Please check compatibility list on their website.., I unfortunately cannot answer that
Hi Zdenka, regarding MT2, you mention in your video that it could take a smartphone just over 200g , but the mt2 payload is max 1.2kg. So can it not handle an iPhone 15 pro max, with an anamorphic lens which is 200g , and an iPhone case as well ? Or was your statement maybe a typo error ? Thanks 😇
It is minimum 200g… so you can load it up no problem… have a great day
Hi there great review...question. does the M6 also have the app that remote controls it?
Many Thanks
Yes it is shown in the video
Very impressed @hohem Great review as always @Zdenka!
Thank you for your support.., I agree with you. This year they are hitting the market hard
I mostly use my phone to record video but i would like to have the flexibility to use a dslr camera and action camera. Should i buy this or am ok to just save the money and buy the m6
That is something I unfortunately cannot answer for you. You have to make a decision if you really need to gimbal for other cameras as well.
Ahoj Zdenka , could you please help me or someone else? I'm recording a video using the iPhone 13 Pro at 24fps 4K, and I'm also using the OM5 Gimbal. I move slowly and even use ND filters, but when I slightly turn the camera, the video becomes choppy and not smoothly continuous. Can anyone advise me on what to do? I'm using the Filmic Pro app for recording. Thank you for any advice.
I am very sorry but I am not sure. Try to ask Filmic pro directly. They have Facebook page where they respond quickly
@@ZdenkaDarula Ďakujem 😉
Sorry to ask so many questions. Can the gimbal track an object? Example for product shots?
Yes, but you have to do that in their app you cannot do that with the AI sensor
Any, estimate year or rumor when is the next version of this will be release
It’s just came, so I don’t think another version will be out anytime soon
Add to cart already , waiting to be dropped in ma doorsteps
thanks for the video
so is the ai Tracking only for people ? 🤔
can i track an object ?
can i mark the tracking target whether a human or object using the Hohem app on the phone ?
like in osmo pocket 3
Ai sensor is for humans only…. Object and animals can be tracked in the Hohem Joy app
@ZdenkaDarula
So it's possible, thanks for letting me know.
And you can see live view of the camera in the app ?
What a great gimbal...can hohem track object like a ball?
It could but not with AI sensor.. only in their app. It is not going to be that precise though as ball moves too fast. It is better with static objects.
When you do your in-depth review of the MT2, you should explain in more detail how to pair with the HRT-03 remote: HRT-03 power off, press MT2 Mode button 7 times to put it in paring mode, then power-on the HRT-03 remote. It is the same remote that came with my iSteady X2.
This wasn’t in depth review but only introduction… full guide where all steps will be explained is coming up
@@ZdenkaDarula Sorry for the confusion, I was making a suggestion for when you do the full guide.
@@siphonsnob no worries at all 👍😉
Is the MT2 compatible with OM Systems OM-1? The OM-1 doesn't appear in the compatibility list..
I unfortunately don’t know.. sorry
Is there a remote control app (smartphone) for the MT2 or is it integrated into the Joy app?
It is shown later in the video… it is in the Joy app
Great presentation as always, you've included all aspects of use. I've seen several other reviews of this gimbal and in some of those the AI tracking of subject's movements was somewhat jittery. You moved sideways in a quite slow manner which would correspond my own (planned) use. If the budget allows, this will be my next gimbal purchase. I'm running guitar playing livestreams as well as that I'm doing ZOOM workshops. The option of placing the main talking head camera with a wide lens and move in the room showing guitars, equipment etc, would be so liberating, and it will surely increase the quality of the video presentation. Thank you!
You are very welcome. Yes the tracking is for normal movements not action movements… you are right… best wishes
Great Video! Awesome new gimbal from Hohem, look like this is an upgrade of the M6 gimbal that you review on your previous video... very informative, Thank you... What are the comparison of this Hohem MT2 gimbal vs the Zhiyun Crane-M3S, look like they are very similar, Can you do a comparison of these two. Thanks...
Zhiyun is a lot stronger and can handle heavy cameras. This one is better for light mirrorless cameras
is the ai follow sensor on the mt2 the same that is found onthe iSteady M6?
Yes it is
Hi Zdenka, thanks for the video, I have question for you, I buy Hohem M6 and I return, because big trouble if you want to use with iphone 15 promax and work with apple pro res 4K 60fps you need to putt ssd (t7 samsung) and when you install the Iphone impossible to connect in usb-c in the iphone. Do you thing with the M2 should be ok?
Unfortunately, with the new phone, I have no idea as I don’t have that model. I just got 15 pro myself three days ago and I’m about to do all the testing.
Your videos are awesome Zdenka. Do you think I could put a Sony PXW Z90v camcorder on this gimbal?
Unfortunately I don’t know the answer.. it would be best to check compatibility list on their website
Hi Zdenka, thanks for your reviews. I was looking at the iSteady M6 but this seems much more versatile (in terms of camera types). I'm puzzled about the weight limits for the different cameras however. 1.2 kg for an SLR but only 200g and 100g respectively for smartphones and action cameras. My S22 Ultra weighs about 230g and my GoPro 8 weighs 126g both at or above the limits you mention. Can you explain this disparity in weights?
To be honest I only know about 1.2kg everything below works well. Was it on their website? I load it with anything in v and it works fine
@@ZdenkaDarula Hi Zdenka, I'm just going on what you mentioned in your video (at 1:58). I haven't any further information. I guess I can reach out to Hohem and see what they say. I'll let you know if/when they get back to me.
Hi Zdenka, I managed to get a call back from Hohem and they confirmed that up to 1.2kg, everything is OK. They say that there are no issues with mobile phones or action cameras up to the 1.2kg limit
Just bought one, no sure why, once AI tracking on the gimbal seem point down and losing the center point? Any help
I’m sorry but I have no clue what your issue might be. For any technical inquiries, please contact Hohem directly.
Hi there, would the s24 ultra in neewer cage fit on the mt2? I bought the m6 but the clamp is too small
Yes, this gimbal can accommodate cages
@ZdenkaDarula ty i look forward to using it soon
Why would you use time lapse movement?
For creative purposes
Hello, Zdenka nice review as always. After wandering around to get a new gimbal the AI thing and the idea to use the monopod to get it longer that we discussed in the M6 review convinced me to get the M6 one, and it is really awesome,if the position of the subject is contrasted ok from the background the tracker perform a very good job.
Something that I realized after watch this review in the MT2 and this could be a good video for you. In the M6 you can flip the AI sensor and for my usage this is super nice since I do POV and the tracker mostly follow my head. So I can point the camera where I am looking and the AI follow the position of my head without have to hold the trigger or control.
It is possible to attack an action camera in the M6 with rubber bands to hold it in place (none of current polished solutions to attach the action camera in smartphone gimbal have worked) and use behind the arm the Ulanzi PT-4 to counterweight (in which I've acquired after noticed you using something similar when demonstrated the Smooth 4 with lenses, btw. How to film B roll with ZHIYUN SMOOTH 4 was the video). The M6 is capable to hold the action camera without the counterweight, however in some positions the motors will shake the footage, so it is better to balance properly.
Thank you for sharing your experience… interesting…, I never use action camera on gimbal but interesting
Thanks for the review, one question.........
Can it be used with DJI Action 4 ?
You are very welcome. Unfortunately I don’t have that camera so I cannot test it but it should be possible. If you go to Hoham website, there should be a compatibility list.
Can it control AF on a bmpcc4k like dji Lidar sensor?
I didn’t see it there
I wonder would this be able to fit a Beastgrip cage? Or at least the clamp side of it? Do you have any observations there? Ta!
I am pretty sure it could but I don’t have it so I cannot test it
also, just to be clear, the app features like custom timelapse for Cameras(not phone) are there in both androd as well as iphone right? will thos hold something like tamron 1770? i am guessing it will be too much, but something like sigma 1850 should be fine right? on a sony apsc ? thanks again for the video!! wonderful and informative as always!
I cannot confirm Android phones. It will vary depending on the model of the phone. As far as those lenses go, make sure the total weight is not more than max payload… I literally use scale myself to see the weight
Thanks friend for your review, I looked all over for the remote HRT-03 and couldn't find it. Can you post a link to it or is it something that you just so happened to have from prior Hohem reviews? Thanks.
Yes the link is below the video in a video description
I was just wondering if the AI tracker can track objects instead of human. For example i want to do some car roller shots and i want it to track the car. Is that possible? Thanks!
No it is not possible as object cannot show track sign. It is only recognizing humans. If you need object tracking then you have to use app where you can select object on the screen.
Hello. I already own the iSteady M6. Can I use the AI Vision Sensor of that model with this iSteady MT2? Is it compatible or interchangeable? Just in case I lost or misplaced the AI Vision Sensor of the MT2?
Unfortunately the sensor is different… much bigger
Finally, a gimbal that might give me what I want. Do you know, do you have to be facing for it to track? I will be using it for climbing videos, and most of the time, I'm facing away from the camera.
Yes you need to face the AI sensor.. here and there you can turn but in your case I am not sure.. Insta360 x3 however can do what you need
@@ZdenkaDarula Interestingly I’ve seen videos of people with helmets on that you can’t see a face and the Hohem website calls it body tracking. I might have to get it just to try :). Regarding Insta360 option, I already have the 360 lens for R and the quality is terrible (when cropped ok) compared to my Sony camera on 4K. I can already (normally) film a climb by using a wide enough lens to fit the whole thing in, just want to be able to film, in 4K, closer in.
Hi Zdenka! Thanks for your review! :) Helped me alot. I have been searching in the manual and have one Q. Can you track objects? lets say I am moving around a motorbike, can the system center it automatically?
If you will be using Hohem Joy app, it will allow you to track objects. The AI sensor only works on humans
Hi Zdenka, if my Sony rx100mv camera is not on the compatibility list, can I still use the basic movements like pan, tilt, follow, timelapse, hyperlapse?
I know the tracking does not require a connection, but I am concerned about the basic movements, thank you.
Yes you can
Insta 360 Flow or this new Hohem iSteady M2?
It depends if you’re filming only with a smart phone or you also need to firm with a mirrorless camera… flow is for smartphones only…
Hi do you think it's compatible with Canon EOS R50
Unfortunately I don’t know. It is best to check compatibility list on their website
Why does the AI sensor detach and what happens if you put a camcorder with a folded out display will it snap itoff. Sure it's worth the money but still a lot of money if you see what I mean
It is just like any gimbal. If you want to have screen out you have to be very cautious not turning it around. I cannot answer why they made the sensor detachable but I am assuming because of the power… to save battery perhaps 🤔
The AI tracking looks neat. Is this worth switching from a DJI RS2 Pro combo?
If you have that kind of gimbal, then I would stick with that.. unless you really need tracking
Did I understand correctly that the smartphone payload (~200 g) is different from the mirrorless camera payload (1.2 kg)? Is that in the manual? I wonder why that is…
I think it is only tech term… in practice you can load on smartphone lenses and filters and it will be just fine
I've got a Panasonic GH6 mounted on the MT2 and it keeps giving "Error 03" on the display. Anybody know what it means? Nothing in the manual or the website for it.
Solution: Make sure on the first step when you balance the tilt axis, you have the camera lens pointed UP. That was my mistake. I had mine pointed forward and it screwed up the panning motion. If you have to go back and correct the first step, make sure you rebalance every other axis. It's working perfectly now. My mistake.
It looks like you got it sorted out… great stuff
Is it the same Joy app as I have for my M6?
Yes
is the AI sensor on this one the same one that comes with the M6? If so, does it offer the new tracking you showed where I can track myself side frame to show to the rest of the frame with what I want to shoot?
Yes exactly the same….
I wish these prosumer grade gimbal would support smartphone native camera control
Yes, I know…. I guess it’s very difficult to make it work.
@ZdenkaDarula given how much Apple and Samsung target the filmmaker in their launch events, you think they would open their camera APIs up to the gimbal manufacturers for this purpose.
Hi my friend. Great timing! Hohem just sent me an email pitching this new gimbal for release tomorrow and i was immediately wondering who in here got one to review already... naturally its you!
So question, i use Sony ZV-E10 and already have the Zhiyun Crane M3, not the new model.... would this be a better option because its versatile with all it includes and has the tracking? I could sell the Crane M3 hopefully if this seems better in comparison. I have the Hohem isteady V2 with its tracker sensor and its amazing.
Thanks Zdenka 😊
If you like V2 it is the same. For me personally I need the AI tracking
@@ZdenkaDarula yeah the tracking is nice... crane m3 doesn't do that... wondering if it's worth the swap...
Hey!
Good morning ☕️
Okay… well I’m so glad that I waited and not purchase the that’s for smart phone only.
The one you did the video on six months ago.
This one has it for all 3 DSLR, Cell Phone and Action Camera.
I’m ordering this now 🥰
Thank you 🤓
You are very welcome…. Best wishes
I agree this has all the little details thought out! Nice option thanks.
You are very welcome
I looked at the specs for this gimbal and watched a few videos, including yours of course. The biggest issue, maybe the only issue, with this gimbal and other in its class is the payload capacity. I shoot with a R6 MKII and the RF lenses are heavy. But for a smart phone or an action cam this thing looks awesome.
Yes this is not for heavy load. Smaller mirrorless cameras do well. For smartphones I would rather get the M6
That's my issue with it too. It looks like a great gimbal, but it's limited as to what lens I can use with my A7siii.
Is the Hohem iSteady MT2 better than the Zhiyun M3S in your opinion?
I need to test that first and then I’ll make a comparison video
what mic are you using????? its windy and youre 3m away and i can´t see a mic :)
It is this one th-cam.com/video/Y0R27gvIAdk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wv2cV5qItSn9AJxa
the A-B motion (time lapse) didn't work on my MT2, it says Not Support??
That is a strange that should not happen
@@ZdenkaDarula all good, I figured it out, thanks for coming back to me though :)
Is there any gimbal waterproof?
Sorry I don’t think so
Hello
Can this gimbal also track objects?
Yes but you have to use their app. The sensor is only for humans
Zhiyun crane m3s or Hohem mt2?
Hohem if you have smaller camera
Hello Zdenka, I now have the MT2 and have tried my Sony RX10/4, which weighs around 1200 grams and when the lens extends has a total length of 20 cm. I didn't manage to stabilize them on the gimbal. Error message Error 03 keeps coming up. It works with my RX100/ 7 (300 grams), my Samsung ultra 23 and my r GOPRo 11.
How heavy is your camera and how long is it?
Honestly, you have to make sure you don’t exceed the maximum payload. If you are getting an error, that means that you’re probably way over. it would be best to ask him directly for any technical problems they might encounter.. I only can talk about what I have here
The Ai tracking works with Dji action 3 camera or I can only use Go Pro Models in list?
It is better to use cameras on their compatibility list… I would ask Hohem directly about this. I am sorry I don’t have DJi so I cannot test it
@@ZdenkaDarula HI Darula! Hohem answered me from the site so I bought the Mt2. Yesterday I received the Hohem mt2 and it works with the DJI Action 3 but it is not possible to use the functions with bluetooth. AI works great with Dji Action 3 and others camera!!! Thanks for the video and support.
How does it work with a Sony ZV1F? I had problem balancing it on a Crane M3 and also the ports on the right side of the camera are difficult to use
I wish I could answer this but I don’t have that camera.. perhaps someone else can help out
GREAT video as always Zdenka. I REALLY wanted the M6, but I guess it's a good thing I didn't get it yet, cause now I REALLY want this instead 😅😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing. Yes if you mainly need this gimbal for mirrorless camera it is great.
Is it compatible with nikon zfc
Please check compatibility list on their website. I don’t know as I don’t own the camera
Grrrr…. wanted to get this but when I clicked on the Amazon link (Canada) this gimbal isn’t there. Hate when that happens!
I hear you. It has been so far released for us only… it will come to Canada within few days
Luckily I was able to order one directly from Hohem in Canadian dollars with the 20% discount.
