I liked your notes thanks. Just one question though I have Samsung S23 Ultra, will all the features works for android? If you can help me with this please.
I really think I'm leaning towards the M6 instead of DJI's OM6. I'm used to my RS3 Mini and love that the M6 has more freedom of movement than the OM6. Only advantage I can think of with the OM6 is the size and the built in extending arm.
@mhalonazaro6576 It has been a great buy. It exceeded expectations; I bought it for video, but it is a game changer for shooting still photography with my phone. It's stabilization of my phone allows me to take images that are stunning in detail. I didn't know how much better they are are compared to hand held ones. I've put off upgrading my DSLR to mirrorless 😇💯‼️
i bought this setup for my S24 ultra (240 grams) with freewell 1.55x lens (140 grams) and its case (60 gram). It already tops the max. load of 400 grams. But i still need counterweights. Did you run into an issue like this by any chance?
Great review. I've been looking at smart phone gimbals, and wasn't aware of the Hohem iSteady M6. Do you know if it interacts with the Blackmagic iPhone camera app?
so you agree that we need gimbles for sony cameras, because u said we dont need gimbles for smartphone which is true, I recorded in my zv-e1 and it was so shaky even with active stabilization(not dynamic)
I Have a Hohem M6 And an iPhone 15 Pro Max and I want to know how and if I can record video in Pro Res using the Hohem Joy App Since there doesn’t seem to be a setting
Thanks, verry good video and your quality of picture is wowww, I have iphone 15 pro max pounds is 240G and I like to record with apple pro rec vlog and I need to use ssd, I use t7 samsung 80g. the total pounds is 320 , I try osmo 6 and insta 360 flow and all gimble is good for around 295g. When I use that gimble all gimble put the gimble off to much pounds. That product M6 is better because is 400g and the system for axelle is different. I just buy today (with your video I see) :) and I hope to try. Thanks again
Nice video and enjoyed your emphasis of the AI sensor. Its crazy good! I mildly disagree with you about the stabilization. It's better than my Smooth 5 and DJI and better by a bit than iphone 13 pro stabilization. It's time to sell the Smooth 5, as this is better in every way. It's totally worth it.
Oh no I do agree. I just meant stability is becoming crazy good these days and gimbals need other features to grab peoples attention like the AI feature.
Great video! Are you able to zoom in and out with the iPhone or other app. I’m trying to film baseball games trying to zoom in on the action I use the app called GameChanger that streams live the people that aren’t able to make it to the games, parents grandpa’s, etc..
Smart phone software stabilization crops in. A benefit to a gimbal is the ability to film closer to a subject without losing stabilization, especially when using lenses without the hardware stablization that some smartphone lenses have.
Hi Jason, thanks so much for your detailed review. I am now a subscriber. :) I saw you had a large ND filter attached to your phone. I am using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and just cannot find an attachable ND filter option large enough to cover all the cameras on the back. Do you have a recommendation?
Does it do good with vertical shooting, I do car vids with my phone and having a hard time finding a gimbal that I can shoot creatively in vertical perspective.
Bro, phone stabilization is good but they crop alot also, or it almost not work well in 4k. You can ninja walk everytime in travelling. So I think gimble is still need even you just need the stabe video
Gimbal is particularly useful if you need external microphone n light. Everyone knows video quality on phones is not issue, but voice recordings for more cinematic experience you'd need an external microphone ideally attached on it
The downside to this gimbal is, it doesn’t have a lot of room for an external mic. Speaking strictly as an iPhone user (filming in portrait mode), I find it problematic to use an external (plug-in) mic. You need to buy a right angle mic adapter. If you don’t have the right angle adapter, it will not fit in portrait mode. What I mean by not fitting is you will not be able to swing the gimbal because the adapter will hit the back arm of the device. Of course you can hit the trigger button four times for it to swing the arm to the front of the phone. It would also be nice if they included a selfie stick within the gimbal handle and while we’re here a magnetic holder like the DJI instead of the spring phone clamp.
@carolinek220 I've got Samsung galaxy s22 ultra n can attach pro mic n led light with no issues, and the gimle original light is still on it. So it probably depends on the size of the mic
@@markp8686 Which pro mic and led light are you using on the s22 ultra ? and are you still using it ? i have the same phone and am looking for what gear i can add to it ! thnx
@@KhmaiMedia how did you manage to setup the receiver? It doesn’t look like it had clearance for the cable due to the gimbal being almost flush to the phone
@@TheCrosx731 so i was using it with my iphone and what i do first is put the reciever in the lightning port jack and then put in in the gimbal---pushed the phone against the gimbal.. it worked fine.. i don't know what phone you have but i used my iphone 14 Pro....it may seem heavy but what i do is hold the phone and then turn the gimbal on and it handled well. hope that all makes sense lol
For the AI follow feature: 1. Does it track objects other than people? 2. When not using the Hohem app, is there a way to get it track without the person giving the "okay" sign? I'd like to use that feature to assist keeping subjects (mostly my kids) in the frame while filming, but don't want them to have to give the "okay" sign for it do so. 3. How well does the AI tracking feature work compared to other competitor gimbals?
I have a problem with my gimbal do you know how to fix the error 03 which .......( "ERROR 03" indicates Overload Anomalies. This happens when the gimbal is not unlocked, not balanced, or when external interference causes motor overload, leading to abnormal operation. I hope you can help me thank you.
Wont stay unlocked!!!I'm on my second m6 in a week span with the same issue!! They have an issue with the lock button, it will not stay in the unlocked position. Once it rotates a full 360 it automatically locks back. Any suggestions?
The biggest problem with smartphones is battery life especially when shooting outside. I like the Insta 360 for tracking and motion Timelapse. This does look cool I just know my phone battery becomes the issue.
Sadly the AI component hasn't been available for quite some time in the UK now. Unavailability is such a sad reason for me not getting this gimbal.... especially since I need one urgently and really like this one
Can I still record in 60fps on an android? I watched another video (you may have mentioned it too) but the app only allows recording in 30fps....but if I used just my s23 ultra to record 60fps will the 360/axis tilt etc still work?
It may even be that smartphones have good stabilization, but not every smartphone does, a common mistake that every iPhone user makes, it's normal, I don't blame you, mine doesn't have OIS and many flagships don't either, like the Poco X4 GT, it surpasses the Iphone in video quality since Android has a third-party app (exclusive to Android) that allows you to record unprocessed video (more than 2000 Mbps of video bitrate and full RAW resolution of the sensor, in the case of the Poco x4 GT a resolution of 4,624x3.472 pixels), virtually the same quality as ProResRAW and native aspect ratio of IMAX
I got to say, this gimbal looks promising. I've been using the DJI OM4 for a couple of years now and I use moment lenses, which is annoying with the control arm getting in the shot. I do like that you don't need to use any apps since till this day DJI's app is still laggy when trying to connect my OM4 to use any of the tracking features. Thanks for the review and it will be in my list to get in the near future!
Should I buy two year assurion ins when buying this Hohem m6 gimbal? I see a lot of unhappy customers on Amazon about this over heats and the motor gets loud. Anyone please advise? Thank you
Insta flow 360 can not support Ana additional camera lense or Audio receivers etc. The hohem and the Zhiyun are perfect if you have additional gear. You don't need the magnetic AI tracker as you can do it over their individual apps. So the cost for both is around 170€ whereas the insta360 is around 150€ but less of a quality.
Great Video Jason. Thanks for the review and insights. Also love your filming!

GREAT post 💯‼️ I purchased one yesterday and the AI tracking was my main business case for choosing the Hohem iSteedy 6M
How has it been so far now thay you had it for a couple months?

For vertical shooting with Pro Max iPhone and DJI Mic 2 receiver is there enough clearance or better go with Hohem MT2?
Thank men I really appreciate because I'm going to buy hohem isteady m6 but I can't I have galaxy S23 ultra which gimble good for me?please
You've convinced me to get one, cheers for that!
Thank you for the video! Btw, what is the range of the tracking?
0,5-3 mt.
This sa best review ever solid🔥🤘👊thank you for good review👊🤘🔥
Waiting for a face off between this and the Insta360 Flow. Which is better for tracking and sturdier?
Insta 360 ran home
This one kicks the insta360 in the a$$.

awesome review, thanks, Jason!
How useful is this for photography and long zoom?
Why is this gimbal mentioned more for use with phones not cameras? I have a DJI Act4 . Thx!
Could you help what's the widest phone that will fit cannot find any information on it ,ace video
Honest talk , great content
i love the vidio it hlep me alot thank
however, one of its downside is it's not recommended for sports videography since there are so many objects that the sensor detects.
Perfect 💯
Can i switch the front/rear camera while recordig on there apps?
I’ve got one and I absolutely love it!
Does it track objects? And how far can it track? Let's I wanna track an object 200m away from me??
what do you use to film your hands free POV scene videos?
so you agree that we need gimbles for sony cameras, because u said we dont need gimbles for smartphone which is true, I recorded in my zv-e1 and it was so shaky even with active stabilization(not dynamic)
I hope they paid you for all this cinematic yumminess. I have one of these coming to me!
Certainly is a great gimbal!

How do you get wireless mic audio into the phone. I would want to use my DJI wireless mic. Looks like the lighting port is blocked
because of the adjustable arm you can put the mic on the phone then just slide the phone and mic as far in as you can.
Thank You

How is the wind resistance if your hanging out the car to record

ok with your face
is it mandatory to buy the ai tracking with it,cuz u have the option to skip it and buy the gimbal only
Guess it depends on if you want the ai tracking or not.
Will it handle the weight of a iPhone 14 pro max
it should, my 13 pro max with slim phone case is around 305g. w/o case about 250g.
Yes it does and the clip is big enough to hold the phone firmly in a thicker case.
