Great video bro. I was going to buy an expensive gimbal. I brought the mt2. I brought the handle after watching this video. Bro, I never looked back, my gimbal out performs all the gimbals I see others using when I shoot with other videographers, expecially at wedding shoots. Doods always ask if they can try my mt2 and use it. If u r looking for a gimbal and want to save some money, buy the hohem mt2 with kit and remote and handle. Thank u for a great video, thank u Hohem
Hey @rjmusicltd, thanks so much for the kind words and for being a part of the SetToAutofocus community! I'm really glad the video helped you out, and it’s awesome to hear that the MT2 is working so well for your shoots, especially at weddings! It’s always cool when fellow videographers notice the difference. What feature or aspect of the MT2 do you find stands out the most compared to other gimbals you've used? I’d love to know what makes it your go-to choice!
@@Settoautofocus Firstly, the build quality is amazing, and its alot for the money, compared to more expensive gimbals. It works for phones, standard cameras and action cameras.the ai feature is always impressive. For a guy like me on a budget it was really everything I needed. The handle attachment eased the strain of holding the gimbal for long periods. The cold shoe mount and screw port on the handle is a great help. I just like everything about it.
Thank you so much for checking out the review and sharing your thoughts! I'm thrilled to know that you enjoyed it and found the energy and information on point. Your feedback truly means a lot to me. If there's anything specific you'd like to see in future reviews or if you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to let me know. I really appreciate your consistent support, and if you ever have more thoughts or suggestions, feel free to drop them in the comments section of any video. Peace! ✌️ - R.R.
Hey @Sal4Ro, thanks for your comment and for being part of the SetToAutofocus community! I’m glad you enjoyed the review. Congrats on your new order-you're going to have a lot of fun with it! To answer your question, the accessory mounts you're referring to are cold shoes, meaning they don't have any electronic connections like hot shoes do. They’re perfect for attaching accessories like microphones, LED lights, or monitors. What kind of setup are you planning to use? I'd love to hear how you're gearing up for your shoots!
Glad you liked it. Swing by later this week I will have a video out on the new "audio recording device", that's all I can say. But you will probably be interested. Peace ✌️ R.R.

Nice video. If I may point out, a the hot in a hot-shoe mount has the ability to power electricity for a flash for example. A cold-shoe mount, is just a mount without power.
Hey @ilovephotography1254, thanks for watching and for being part of the SetToAutofocus community! I really appreciate your clarification on the hot-shoe and cold-shoe mounts-that’s a great explanation. It’s always good to make sure everyone’s on the same page with these technical details. Have you used any particular accessories with hot or cold shoes that you'd recommend? I’d love to hear what setups have worked best for you!
Hey @zombie_bear1797, thanks for your question and for being a part of the SetToAutofocus community! Yes, the handle can fit in the Hohem MT2 bag when it's not attached to the gimbal. It’s a snug fit but keeps everything nice and compact for easy transport. Have you been using the MT2 for any particular projects or shoots? I'd love to hear how it’s working out for you!
Hi @Settoautofocus thank you for the reply, I actually bought the handle a few weeks ago. It's pretty decent. To be honest, I am new to all this, so I have no clue what I am doing 😅. I used the MT2 on holiday in Tunisia, and it was great. Now I have the handle to help, And think I am going to have some fun because I plan to have my ZVE10 on the gimbal and use my phone as a 2nd monitor and attach it to the cold shoe on the handle. 😊
The gimbal has a screw hole and a second hole to keep attachments from rotating. Does this handle use both holes, or does the handle twist if you put load on it? Have you actually used this handle with a camera on the gimbal? I didn't see any shots where you actually used it. How does it compare with their handle which is already on the market? That one is $30. This one is $50. What extra value do you get for the increase in price?
Thank you for your questions about the gimbal handle. I'm glad to share my experience with it: Attachment Stability: The handle is designed to use both the screw hole and the secondary hole, which ensures that it doesn't twist or rotate under load. This feature provides a sturdy and reliable grip, especially when you're using it with a camera. Usage with Camera: Yes, I have used this handle with a camera mounted on the gimbal. In my upcoming video, I'll be showcasing this in more detail. I understand that my initial video didn't include these shots, but rest assured, the handle performs admirably under real-world conditions. Comparison with Market Alternatives: Comparing this handle to the existing $30 option, I noticed a few key differences. The build quality and ergonomics of this $50 handle are superior, which contributes to better stability and comfort during prolonged use. Additionally, the material used seems more durable, suggesting a longer lifespan. Value for the Price Increase: The extra $20 seems to be invested in the overall build quality and ergonomic design. If you're someone who frequently uses the gimbal for extended periods, this handle's comfort and durability could be a worthwhile investment. It's also important to consider the added stability provided by the dual-hole attachment system. I'm planning to release a second video after the holidays that will go into more detail about the handle, including a direct comparison with the $30 model. Stay tuned for that!
@@Settoautofocus The reason I'm interested is that I just installed the $30 handle on my gimbal. I want to run a NP-F battery on the side of the handle arm and plug into the gimbal to keep both the gimbal and the camera running longer. With the $30 handle, you can't do that because the arm blocks the charging port. Also, with the port blocked, it's impossible to charge the gimbal unless you remove the handle. Can you plug a USB cable into the gimbal with the $50 handle? It sort of looks like on the better handle there is a notch at the hinge to allow charging with the handle installed and in the rear position.

Great review and explanation. I just ordered mine and can't wait to use it. But are they hot shoes or cold shoes?

Hi, does the handle fit in the Hohem Mt2 bag when it's not attached to the gimbal?
Thanks

@kyakfsh just seen your reply from a bit back, yes, it holds it in place much more sturdy and uses the holes to keep it from spinning. Super sturdy.

Would you mind if I link your video to my TH-cam channel, a video I am working on?
That would be fine as long as it is strictly a positive vibe. What is your channel, for me to review 1st for my approval.
Is it blocking the USB-C port ?
No you will be ok.
There are no hot shoes on the gimbal or handle. They are all cold shoes. Unless the handles has a surprise battery hidden inside.
