I guess for hobby filmmakers with a mobile phone the M6 is the better choice. You get the same modes and functionalities for less money. In addition when you make long filming sessions you will feel the heavier weight of the MT2. I am quite satisfied with the M6 in combination with the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Hey! How is your experience with object tracking with this gimbal and iPhone 14 pro max? I am interested in finding out how it performs when you mark an object and walk towards it to create a hyperlapse effect. I will pair it also on iPhone 14 Pro Max. Thanks
@@AbJsm it should! I use an iPhone but I use the Blackmagic app for filming, However, the hohem app is now a proper camera app and it works with Android.... However, reading a reddit post, it seems you will only be able to use Sony's apps and the hohem app might not work. The gimbal's Ai tracker works independently of the Hohem app so in that regard, any phone will do....
Thanks a mill Sam! I'm so grateful for this video. We've come down to Hohem MT2 vs M6 after watching numerous reviews on other gimbals like Insta360, dji, Zhiyun, etc.
@@VishnuNaraine I haven’t bought it yet. We might switch back to buying M6 but waiting for the new iPhone release to see compatibility. It’s just that we’ve decided to start small then scale up later.
I was an early adopter of the first gen osmo mobile. And have been using it for years. But i am tired of having to remove my phone case on my galaxy s22 ultra to use it. ordering the MT2 today.
Real shame that there's zero bluetooth control for Lumix cameras. None at all, not any lumix model. Good video, maybe if I change cameras i might go for this one over the DJI RS2
I know what you mean. The question is, how essential that is, really? Personally I find that I hardly ever need to make changes to the camera once set up. Plush it can actually be a bit distracting for me in getting the shot right. But we are all different…
A gimbal for me would live on a tripod, the most important thing to me is the range or distance it can track me, is there a difference? How far do they track a person?
I have a Sony ZV-1 and I resent the fact that I have to buy a Hohem Mk2 when the M6 could easily accommodate it if it had the right grip. I guess there is also the fact that I won't be able to control any of the ZV-1's actions vial the gimbal interface if I put it on the M6. It would have been great if Hohem recognised that people with compact cameras such as the Sony ZV-1 which come in at 294g so 106g under the M6 weight limit might want to use the Hohem so they gave a mounting bracket for it as well as a camera control cable.
I can hear your point, and I can understand the frustration. Because there is a steep price difference between one and the other. But I guess Hohem designed the M6 purely as a smartphone gimbal. The ZV1, light as it might be, might present some balancing challenges due to shape and volume, that a smartphone doesn’t. Again, because of shape and size. I am just guessing here. In my M6 vs MT2 video I leave a 15% discount coupon, if that helps, and I am sure Hohem are running discount deals on their website. Hopefully that might help, if you decide on buying the MT2…
Thank you so much as I am getting into photography I second guessed my self on buying a gimbal just for phone vs Mt2 that would be triple the price when I haven't found the right camera yet so I was hesitant learning curve as a Musician taking on a new hobby ! It's overwhelming and for now using my phone with super 16 film app with the m6 doesn't make me regret having the mt2 and not have all the other options down the road with a dslr or mirroless or Action camera it's like leading the cart before the horse lol literally thank you for your Accurate and Specific Video ! You have my Subscription! And like ! Cheers
Oh wow, thanks for sharing that and for the feedback. Glad you feel you didn't waste your money, there is nothing worse than feeling you made a bad decision. Welcome to the family!!
I don’t think so. I used the counter weight because as you can see from the video, I was adding a wireless mic to the camera and that added additional weight to one side of the gimbal’s roll axis. But this is something only you can assess and decide based on your set up and amount of accessories you want to use….
You plan to use it with a camera or a smartphone? You do get access to the hohem joy app, so if you use a smartphone the answer is yes. Within the app. If you use a camera, you could use a smartphone somewhere to track within the app while filming with the camera on the gimbal. But the set up is cumbersome and might not be the most practical…
The app has object tracking, but the AI sensor is only face tracking. You can use the app to track, mount the phone just on top of the camera or rig it just off camera. And the gimbal will move following the app’s tracking festure, and your camera will then also move where it should. Does it make sense? Now, the balancing will be a challenge because it a phone on top of the cMera will make it too top heavy. You could mount it or rig the phone on the handle and avoid the balancing issue. This is where you need to come up with a creative way to make it work that is practical…
@@donnas8408 can you give me the specific model of the lens, please? Also, where are you based? If by some miracle you are London based, we could meet up in person and test it out…
Does the mt2 can be used for smart phone. I just want the mt2 for the possibility of usibg a dslr or a go pro. Kinda like its nice to have. Or would i just be better off with the m6?
Hi Samuel, i found out your videos are super helpful especially for mt2 and m6 and I have question for you since you used both. Wondering which one is easier to attach Samsung portable SSD with iPhone. I am guessing maybe mt2 since it has more clearance. Have you tried it on m6 or mt2 ? Since new iPhone 15 supports logs video, i want them to be recorded to portable SSD instead of using phone storage. Thank you.
The MT2 only if you mount the SSD on the phone somehow or use the magsafe. Did you watch my video about mounting options for the 15 pro max? It won’t work with the M6 as it clamps onto the phone’s body itself and if you try to mount anything else on it it will throw off the balancing.
Hi, I hope you're ok. I just bought the M6 and a freewell cover and ND lens for my s24 ultra. I am considering getting the 1.55 anamorphic lense, but my concern is if the M6 will handle the weight of the anamorphic lens. I am new to this, and any advice would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏽

Yes, I know this gimbal, hohem isteady pro 4, but it is only made for go pro and it works with wifi, bt pairing and wireless control, but osmo action 4 does not pair and only uses manual control.

@@rickstard73 Hello, I bought it with MT2, because I thought I would buy a DSLR camera in the future, so I bought MT2 and I use it with DJI OA 4, phone and DSLR camera. I tried it with DJI OA 4 with BT and cable, but unfortunately it cannot be controlled, it only supports go pro. I control it with manual, but I can control it with BT with phone and DSLR camera. You probably cannot control it with M6, you can control it with manual.
@Fatih37sCarDetailingTR Thanks for your answer, love your detailing videos too ❤️ Does the ai tracking work with the DJI Action? I am happy to control the camera with DJI app
The M6 has a four button press to switch the gimbal arm to the otherside, to avoid having the gimbal arm in frame when shooting wide angles. Can the MT2 do this?
Ah okay, thanks for that info. I'm using an 3rd party phone mount (Ulanzi ST27) that comes with a 1/4 female screw at the bottom. Can I mount it on the arca plate, and then use it on the MT2, ignoring the stock phone holder that comes with the MT2?
I had the m6 previously and was looking into getting another one but now I am in between getting the m6 or mt2. need some advice I only really record with my phone I plan on using lenses, filters, sunshades and a microphone but I liked how the m6 I could always see and use and see the screen of the phone when needed because the motor was infront of the camera other than when it was in wide angle mode. I was just wondering if you think I would run into issues with the motor and arm getting in the way of the screen on the mt2 or if it wouldn’t really be an issue I want to be able to see what I’m shooting and be able to fine tune everything using the phone while on the gimble. Thank you
I’ve watched 2 or 3 of the M7, 10 M6. I think they pushed 70 M7’s out for reviewers 😂. I bought the M6 but returned it 2 weeks later because of the M7. I still think the MT3 will be better, even for the phone, not just because of balancing and lack of restrictions, but also using a phone it will technically be very underweight, so longevity wise it would have a lot less motor stress = less hot.
I don’t own a weebill S so I can’t really tell, but would this video help to illustrate a possible way? th-cam.com/video/oVUwiqfCDzU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gUC3dPoxATxr2oi_
Another question on hohems website for the mt2 it says you can hit the trigger 4 times to put it into ultra wide mode but that doesn’t make sense to me because the way the arms and motors are placed it is always in ultra wide mode so I guess my question is does the mt2 actually do anything if you hit the trigger 4 times. Again thank you.
I use a Samsung S22 ultra, with a large size, weight and length? Does MT2 support Android Samsung S22 Ultra? and does android for samsung s22 ultra get suport?
The deal breaker is the 400g limit as it’s too Easy to just tip over that limit with a simple lens and or filter on a bigger phone camera. I just bought the MT2 as my DJI OM6 is just I light on the all up weight. I will be sung a iPhone 13 Pro Max maybe the 15 Pro Max eventually with lens add on and filter and a action camera probably only.
Never mind I called hohem they said the mt2 trigger button will not do anything if pushes 4 times. I stated that it would be a nice feature to have on the mt2 because where the motor arm is placed and on the m6 it is positioned where the view is not obstructed for the phone while your using it and they said they will try to put it in a firmware update so smartphone users on the mt2 can hit the trigger button 4 times and move the arm to the front from the back so you have full view of the phone while using it. They said it was something that was overlooked and not thought about in the design process and will try to get it on a future update.
I am sorry for my late response. I have been so, so busy over the last few days. I am really pleased that you managed to get hold of them and get this sorted out, somehow. Hohem are very good in getting back to people... Let's hope they push that firmware upgrade soon, and iof they include deadband adjustments in that upgrade, it would be the icing on the cake!
Yes to your first question, it can handle quite a lot of payload. The AI tracker is for people and faces, it is designed for content Creators, someone talking to camera or wanting to film himself/ herself…
@SamuelSotiega it didn't that's why I asked 😂? Great video though. My concern is the fold? Too thick or too heavy? Also my concern is how long does it take to set up this with a phone? Is it quick like 30 second setup or am I looking at 5 to 10 min
Ando como loco mirando gimbals y no sé que coger, el insta360 flow me llamó muchísimo la atención por la IA y lo compacto que era, pero después de ver tu video echando pestes de él se me han quitado un poco las ganas, y estaba mirando estos Hohem. En principio tengo pensado llevar una maleta para excursiones , travel, y llevar el equipo de imagen y grabación, básicamente un mini 3 pro , un Canon 250D con una lente de serie, y buscaba un gimbal para acompañar. Cuál seria el mejor gimbal entre estos o otros? que puedas recomendar?? Y el MT2 crees que podría servir con la 250D ya que pesa muy poco?? Un saludo.
si, el MT2 te monta la 250D sin ningun problem. Y le puedes montar un telefono tambien ya que tiene margen de peso suficiente. El Flow no te monta la canon ya que es solo para telefono, aunque yo no lo compraria ya que es un desproposito de gimbal, pero esa es mi opinion y es subjetiva.... Pero si buscas algo para la canon, el MT2 esta genial.... Y ademas, el AI Tracking esta genial...
I would imagine so! At 1.2KG, which can easily go up to 1.8KG as I should you in the video, it shouldn’t have any problems handling the beastgrip cage..
How good is the App on SAMSUNG S22 Ultra / Android? - I note these Chinese gimbals are quite good on iPhones but lacking usually on android your thoughts please. Ps Great review! - I've been toying the idea also swaying towards MT2 as I want to use a lighting with the device and other accessories.
Android integration is not as good as iOS but to be honest with you. I only use the Hohem app for adjusting some settings and for the rest I use my 3rd party app. Honestly, I don’t think I have ever shot a single clop on the Hohem app… The MT2 is a solid gimbal, and definitely will handle heavier payloads and more flexible configurations, but it is also more expensive, tough decision!!
I am returning my M6 for a warranty. This will be the 4th device or 3rd replacement from Hohem. On every one of my devices, the locking mechanism failed. This last one also has glitchy videos and the button and zoom lever stick. They have refused to upgrade me to a better device. At this point, it's very frustrating, but, when it works, it's amazing. Hopefully, Hohem makes things right this time. -wopspeed.
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear... I know that they are working on follow up models, not sure if they will be out this year or the next though... But yes, the locking mechanism is one of the main, if not the main issue..
Muy ilustrativos y claros tus videos, me han ayudado a decidir qué gimbal comprar. Muchas gracias por el aporte. (Veo que hablas español, ojalá hicieras videos de este tipo en este idioma) Saludos desde México.
I just heard back from Hohem. They currently have sales on their store so no discount codes work, but they have given me a 20% discount code that will work when the sales are over. Do see if you get the same deal now! Discount code: YT20
@@floralartistsbyvandoninkro4661 i donl't know, but it should be valid for some time moving forward. But I don't work for them, so I don't really know! If you use my liunk to their site it might last for a lot longer due to relationship between the brand and the creator.. 😉
I hope they will release one of them soon. But their app has improved dramatically and you can always use a 3rd party camera app of your choice. This is how I operate them, using the blackmagic app…
@@SamuelSotiega Or are there any rumors that the next isteady pro might also come with the ai tracker¿ The smaller gimbal specifically for action cams with a tracker would be quite neat.
Oh! Really? Let me look into this. I am emailing my contact and Hohem and will get back to asap. Wait for a but to see if I can get it back on, a 15% off is a fair bit of savings…
I got this from my contact at Hohem. I hope it helps. The discount code is invalid now because the products are on sale and they have automatically discount now, no need to use the code. The code will be valid again from 2nd Jan 2024. Let me know what you decide in the end!
Yes - I'm one of the suckers that purchased the Hohem M6 based on your and others' reviews. However, the when the MT2 came out - I really felt I had missed out and perhaps purchased too early. Ugh!!!!! Anyone need a paper weight?
The M6 is a great smartphone gimbal and I still use it a lot. It is very quick and easy to set up. I don’t think you need to feel let down. The M6 came out months before the MT2 so there was no way to know for me or anyone else what Hohem was working on. But the MT2 is essentially a compact camera gimbal. When I use my phoneX I still prefer and use the M6. It is quicker to set up, takes on a huge payload and the tracker works amazing.
Don't, gimbals are awesome if you work in the video business even at the smallest level. I got the M6 but I'm thinking about adapting my DJI RS3 because being too light can be a negative. I feel the momentum of the heavier gimbal gives you much more stability (it's also an much much better gimbal overall...well it also costs 3-4x more). Depends on your needs
Could you please make video explaining explicitly about holding holding gimbal facing forward to use all 3 axis, i try to search for this info and i never find anything, i want to understand how this works.
@@SamuelSotiega Not really. you mention many times that gimbal supposed to be held in hands not straight but under slight angle to use all 3 axis, i want to visualize why because its not clear to me.
If you use a mirrorless camera, the MT2 is a great addition if you plan to use the AI tracker… if purely for stabilisation, i would recommend the zhiyun M3S…
@@SamuelSotiega do I need to upgrade my phone gimbal for the ai tracker or just get the mt so I can uses my phone and mirrorless camera and keep the 5s for Gimbal stuff in mobile
I'm thinking of starting short form filming for certain events. In your opinion should I start off with the M6 or MT2?? Money is a factor. However I will be using mics and additional lighting and other peripherals which will add weight. Cheers!
The MT2 will give you so much more, if you can stretch it, It is an investment worth it, in my opinion. Specially if you plan to do gigs where you will or might have a client or potential client. Looks behind the camera also matter, a lot! Plus the MT2 gives you the flexibility of using a phone or a camera. Plus, you get more clearance and range in vertical too... Where are you based?
That is very odd. I don't know. Please reach out to Hohem support, they are very good and very quick in helping customers, regardless of where you bought it from. As far as I am aware they have always resolved any issues from anybody that has contacted them, and very quickly!
ensure all motors are unlocked, i use the I-steady M6 with the S23 Ultra and never overheated,even when taken on a recent trip to Portugal in 32 degree heat
@@SamuelSotiega I have thought about it and seems more robust the Feiyu, many comparisons seem to give as a winner Feiyu in stability and robustness, I have seen many videos where they complain of failures and breakages of Hohem , is a mess, I like the versatility of both, although the application I prefer is Hohem for its great variety of editions... thank you very much

I was just wondering if you think I would run into issues with the motor and arm getting in the way of the screen on the mt2 or if it wouldn’t really be an issue I want to be able to see what I’m shooting and be able to fine tune everything using the phone while on the gimble. Thank you
Has this been sorted out after you dealt with Hohem?
can i use this mt2 for Galaxy Z Fold5????
The weight of that phone is 253g, so I would say, yes! Now, when filming with this phone, do you need to have be extended, or folded?
@@SamuelSotiega i want use my phone extended for filming
After seeing the M7, I’m looking forward to the MT3
Me too!! Did you watch my review of the M7?
I’ve watched 2 or 3 of the M7, 10 M6. I think they pushed 70 M7’s out for reviewers 😂. I bought the M6 but returned it 2 weeks later because of the M7. I still think the MT3 will be better, even for the phone, not just because of balancing and lack of restrictions, but also using a phone it will technically be very underweight, so longevity wise it would have a lot less motor stress = less hot.
Great video, can't say how much I appreciate this comparison. Good stuff 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I only have a Weebill S at the moment, is there a way to record in vertical mode with my iPhone on the Weebill S?
I don’t own a weebill S so I can’t really tell, but would this video help to illustrate a possible way? th-cam.com/video/oVUwiqfCDzU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gUC3dPoxATxr2oi_
Another question on hohems website for the mt2 it says you can hit the trigger 4 times to put it into ultra wide mode but that doesn’t make sense to me because the way the arms and motors are placed it is always in ultra wide mode so I guess my question is does the mt2 actually do anything if you hit the trigger 4 times. Again thank you.
I see that you got through Hohem and get this sorted. Sorry for the late reply, been busy as hell lately...
The name of the nd filter gear please sir
For the smartphone or the camera?
I use a Samsung S22 ultra, with a large size, weight and length? Does MT2 support Android Samsung S22 Ultra? and does android for samsung s22 ultra get suport?
The app will work Android. In terms of payload, it shouldn’t be a problem at all, plenty of room… is this what you were after?
Great Comparison....Nicely Explained👏👏
Which one is the best gimbal for Go pro 12 ?
Please Suggest 🙏
Hohem has one, the isteady pro4, that looks good. Check it out. Use YT15 code on their website for a 15% discount (on Me!)
@@SamuelSotiegabut mt2 is really good for GoPro and other cameras?!
What is the counterweight that’s you used it in your gimbal?
I believe I left a link in the video description, didn’t I? Let me know otherwise
I got a usb-c 90 degree adapter for the phone and clearance is not an issue.
Touché!
The deal breaker is the 400g limit as it’s too Easy to just tip over that limit with a simple lens and or filter on a bigger phone camera. I just bought the MT2 as my DJI OM6 is just I light on the all up weight. I will be sung a iPhone 13 Pro Max maybe the 15 Pro Max eventually with lens add on and filter and a action camera probably only.
The MT2 will give you all the range you need. It is actually a really good hybrid gimbal!!! Congratulations!!
Never mind I called hohem they said the mt2 trigger button will not do anything if pushes 4 times. I stated that it would be a nice feature to have on the mt2 because where the motor arm is placed and on the m6 it is positioned where the view is not obstructed for the phone while your using it and they said they will try to put it in a firmware update so smartphone users on the mt2 can hit the trigger button 4 times and move the arm to the front from the back so you have full view of the phone while using it. They said it was something that was overlooked and not thought about in the design process and will try to get it on a future update.
I am sorry for my late response. I have been so, so busy over the last few days. I am really pleased that you managed to get hold of them and get this sorted out, somehow. Hohem are very good in getting back to people... Let's hope they push that firmware upgrade soon, and iof they include deadband adjustments in that upgrade, it would be the icing on the cake!
Have they introduced this feature?
Not sure I switched and have been using the feiyutech scorp mini 2. I hope they did tho it would be a game changer for the mt2.
Hi Samuel, thanks for sharing a well made compare and contrast video, full of valuable info
Thanks for the feedback and super glad you liked it!
so can the mt2 hold a phone with a big case... and does the AI tracker track items as well??
Yes to your first question, it can handle quite a lot of payload. The AI tracker is for people and faces, it is designed for content Creators, someone talking to camera or wanting to film himself/ herself…
@@SamuelSotiegahandle the weight, but the M6 can’t HOLD the SIZE of a beastgrip cage. Will the MT2
@@Improv_jav what’s the total max weight you’re looking at putting on the gimbal?
Which is the best for using a galaxy z fold 4 and a mic?
I hope the vídeo would help you answer that question. If it didn’t, what is your specific concern
?
@SamuelSotiega it didn't that's why I asked 😂? Great video though.
My concern is the fold? Too thick or too heavy?
Also my concern is how long does it take to set up this with a phone? Is it quick like 30 second setup or am I looking at 5 to 10 min
Great review and comparison, thanks for sharing the Intel!
Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it!
Ando como loco mirando gimbals y no sé que coger, el insta360 flow me llamó muchísimo la atención por la IA y lo compacto que era, pero después de ver tu video echando pestes de él se me han quitado un poco las ganas, y estaba mirando estos Hohem. En principio tengo pensado llevar una maleta para excursiones , travel, y llevar el equipo de imagen y grabación, básicamente un mini 3 pro , un Canon 250D con una lente de serie, y buscaba un gimbal para acompañar. Cuál seria el mejor gimbal entre estos o otros? que puedas recomendar?? Y el MT2 crees que podría servir con la 250D ya que pesa muy poco?? Un saludo.
si, el MT2 te monta la 250D sin ningun problem. Y le puedes montar un telefono tambien ya que tiene margen de peso suficiente. El Flow no te monta la canon ya que es solo para telefono, aunque yo no lo compraria ya que es un desproposito de gimbal, pero esa es mi opinion y es subjetiva.... Pero si buscas algo para la canon, el MT2 esta genial.... Y ademas, el AI Tracking esta genial...
Muchas gracias por la respuesta! Sigue asi con el canal !@@SamuelSotiega
Can I use the MT2 with Beastgrip Pro cage?
I would imagine so! At 1.2KG, which can easily go up to 1.8KG as I should you in the video, it shouldn’t have any problems handling the beastgrip cage..
How good is the App on SAMSUNG S22 Ultra / Android? - I note these Chinese gimbals are quite good on iPhones but lacking usually on android your thoughts please.
Ps Great review! - I've been toying the idea also swaying towards MT2 as I want to use a lighting with the device and other accessories.
Android integration is not as good as iOS but to be honest with you. I only use the Hohem app for adjusting some settings and for the rest I use my 3rd party app. Honestly, I don’t think I have ever shot a single clop on the Hohem app… The MT2 is a solid gimbal, and definitely will handle heavier payloads and more flexible configurations, but it is also more expensive, tough decision!!
I am returning my M6 for a warranty. This will be the 4th device or 3rd replacement from Hohem. On every one of my devices, the locking mechanism failed. This last one also has glitchy videos and the button and zoom lever stick. They have refused to upgrade me to a better device. At this point, it's very frustrating, but, when it works, it's amazing. Hopefully, Hohem makes things right this time. -wopspeed.
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear... I know that they are working on follow up models, not sure if they will be out this year or the next though... But yes, the locking mechanism is one of the main, if not the main issue..
Muy ilustrativos y claros tus videos, me han ayudado a decidir qué gimbal comprar. Muchas gracias por el aporte. (Veo que hablas español, ojalá hicieras videos de este tipo en este idioma) Saludos desde México.
Gracias por el feedback! Quizás pronto los puedas ver en Español. Dentro de poco pero estoy considerando una formula…
Hey guys, which is better for the GoPro Hero 9?
Hohem does a specific gimbal for action cameras. I’d recommend that… these would be too big and bulky..
isteady 4pro only without mediamod!
the discount code does not seem to work. perhaps too old?
ohh, let me look into it and get back to you
I just heard back from Hohem. They currently have sales on their store so no discount codes work, but they have given me a 20% discount code that will work when the sales are over. Do see if you get the same deal now! Discount code: YT20
@@SamuelSotiega Thank you somuch, this seems to work. Do you have ant idea till when it is valid? (we'll be out of town for 2 weeks)
@@floralartistsbyvandoninkro4661 i donl't know, but it should be valid for some time moving forward. But I don't work for them, so I don't really know! If you use my liunk to their site it might last for a lot longer due to relationship between the brand and the creator.. 😉
I guess buy neither until the AF etc and other problems are resolved in next model
I hope they will release one of them soon. But their app has improved dramatically and you can always use a 3rd party camera app of your choice. This is how I operate them, using the blackmagic app…
@@SamuelSotiega thanks Samuel
Can you do a review on the M6 using an action camera. 🙏🏾
I will think about it!!
@@SamuelSotiega Or are there any rumors that the next isteady pro might also come with the ai tracker¿ The smaller gimbal specifically for action cams with a tracker would be quite neat.
This mt6 looks insane 😮
Mt2
It is!!! I still use it a lot with my camera, specially when I need movement in my shots using the AI tracker and I need to use my mirrorless camera…
@@SamuelSotiega I definitely need to save up for that wow 🤯
@@SamuelSotiega hahah I combined them both, I think they both have their benefits I want to try them both
Hohem discount code not working.
Oh! Really? Let me look into this. I am emailing my contact and Hohem and will get back to asap. Wait for a but to see if I can get it back on, a 15% off is a fair bit of savings…
I got this from my contact at Hohem. I hope it helps.
The discount code is invalid now because the products are on sale and they have automatically discount now, no need to use the code. The code will be valid again from 2nd Jan 2024.
Let me know what you decide in the end!
I would only use the ai tracker for selfie vlogging 😂 because I want to be in frame 😮
You can use it also for building/creating mini scenes, so many uses…
I think the MT2 is the best investment for future because of its payload capacity. Since new phones get heavier with newer technology.
Yes, the MT2 is a great gimbal and for smartphones is also very good...
Yes - I'm one of the suckers that purchased the Hohem M6 based on your and others' reviews. However, the when the MT2 came out - I really felt I had missed out and perhaps purchased too early. Ugh!!!!! Anyone need a paper weight?
The M6 is a great smartphone gimbal and I still use it a lot. It is very quick and easy to set up. I don’t think you need to feel let down. The M6 came out months before the MT2 so there was no way to know for me or anyone else what Hohem was working on. But the MT2 is essentially a compact camera gimbal. When I use my phoneX I still prefer and use the M6. It is quicker to set up, takes on a huge payload and the tracker works amazing.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Glad you found it helpful!
the phone holder should have a MagSafe attachment. that would be perfect
I have to agree with you on that, 100%!
I haven’t bought any gimbal yet and I already feel “buyers remorse”
hahaha, I can totally relate to that feeling too! Did you watch my recent Ai gimbal comparison video? Would that help?
Don't, gimbals are awesome if you work in the video business even at the smallest level. I got the M6 but I'm thinking about adapting my DJI RS3 because being too light can be a negative. I feel the momentum of the heavier gimbal gives you much more stability (it's also an much much better gimbal overall...well it also costs 3-4x more). Depends on your needs
Buenas, ¿cómo ves el MT2 para una Panasonic GH5 Mark2? ¿Algo justo por peso? Muchas gracias y un saludo
You creo que si. Me puedes decir, si pesas la camara, batería y lente que quieres usar, cuanto pesa?
Could you please make video explaining explicitly about holding holding gimbal facing forward to use all 3 axis, i try to search for this info and i never find anything, i want to understand how this works.
Set the gimbal to PF mode (tilt lock). It will keep the horizon levelled while you vlog. Would this be helpful for what you are trying to do?
@@SamuelSotiega Not really. you mention many times that gimbal supposed to be held in hands not straight but under slight angle to use all 3 axis, i want to visualize why because its not clear to me.
It would be nice to compliment my smooth 5s
Not the osmo mobile 5 gimbal, that is a toy 😂
If you use a mirrorless camera, the MT2 is a great addition if you plan to use the AI tracker… if purely for stabilisation, i would recommend the zhiyun M3S…
@@SamuelSotiega do I need to upgrade my phone gimbal for the ai tracker or just get the mt so I can uses my phone and mirrorless camera and keep the 5s for Gimbal stuff in mobile
I'm thinking of starting short form filming for certain events. In your opinion should I start off with the M6 or MT2?? Money is a factor. However I will be using mics and additional lighting and other peripherals which will add weight.
Cheers!
The MT2 will give you so much more, if you can stretch it, It is an investment worth it, in my opinion. Specially if you plan to do gigs where you will or might have a client or potential client. Looks behind the camera also matter, a lot! Plus the MT2 gives you the flexibility of using a phone or a camera. Plus, you get more clearance and range in vertical too... Where are you based?
Amazing video
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
MT2 is the best..
it's a lot of fun to use it for sure!!
I just bought the m6 and its my first gimbal. Its overheats after 5 minutes of use. What am i doing wrong? My phone is s23 ultra
That is very odd. I don't know. Please reach out to Hohem support, they are very good and very quick in helping customers, regardless of where you bought it from. As far as I am aware they have always resolved any issues from anybody that has contacted them, and very quickly!
ensure all motors are unlocked, i use the I-steady M6 with the S23 Ultra and never overheated,even when taken on a recent trip to Portugal in 32 degree heat
Scorp mini2 is better than Hohem?
For somethings, yes. For others, no. Like everything in life…
@@SamuelSotiega I have thought about it and seems more robust the Feiyu, many comparisons seem to give as a winner Feiyu in stability and robustness, I have seen many videos where they complain of failures and breakages of Hohem , is a mess, I like the versatility of both, although the application I prefer is Hohem for its great variety of editions... thank you very much
