I actually like how you just get straight to your content. No introduction, no chit-chat or saying like, subscribe, notifications, etc. Save that stuff for the end is better IMO. As for the gimbals, I'm not much of photo/video taker, but I'd rather get a gimbal than a selfie stick. Since I'm a casual user, it's a tough decision between DJI and InstaFlow. Both have pros/cons that make for good choices. Thanks for your content.
I initially thought "why is she covering 15 features? That's too much I'm not going to watch this" by the end I was super happy you were so thorough and put your spin on this. I watched other reviews but yours is by FAR the most comprehensive!
I’m brand new to gimbals (literally only realised this was a thing today) and just want to thank you for this really well presented, clearly explained and unbiased review. It has really helped me. Thank you.
This is likely the best product comparison video I've seen. At no point did it seem like you were secretly endorsing a particular model. The review comments appeared to be truly neutral. Great information 👍
I have the DJI om6 it's absolutely brilliant...I use my new Samsung galaxy s23 phone.. when the 2 connect on Bluetooth...The zooming is the best I have ever had ...I do recommend the DJI om6..I haven't made any TH-cam videos yet..but I have been practicing...Am very happy...the stabiliser is brilliant...good video
Hands down one of the best gimbal comparison videos so far. I was initially thinking of getting the OM6 but due to range of motion limitations and battery life, decided to look for a (better) alternative. Thanks a lot for the helpful information! 😊
I liked your review, but got confused so many times as you were flipping between the models. An identification card before the 4 gimbals would really help following your comments...
This is such a detailed video. I've been torn between so many gimbal options over the past few days and you have really helped me narrow my search to two strong products. Keep up the good work.
@@atutahistar went for the aochuan smart s2. Pretty much a strong competitor to the Zhiyun smooth 5s and Hohem isteady M6. It has a 19cm extendable arm and comes with an inbuilt microphone.
I just bought a Hohem and came right to your channel to find reviews and comparisons on it. Am not disappointed with my purchase!! Thank you for being so thorough
Thank you for a clear cut informative video! Subbing. I really love this style of relaying honest information! This was very very good. As people who search such videos for info it really eliminates the wasting of time to look elsewhere for other videos on the same gear! Thank you!
Fantastic review, thank you! I'm new to this whole thing and it's been a devil to find a truly balanced feature comparison with pros and cons for different scenarios. this was just what I was looking for😃
How well does the magnet hold the phone? I want something to take skiing so I want something that will hold the phone snug and won't fall off easy. I also want easy to use and reliable.
Id go for an action cam like dji osmo action or gopro cause you attach it to a stick via a thread, that is the safetest but won’t have mobility of angles, but since the action cams are super wide that counters it
This video and all of your comments are so helpful for a newtuber. I've just been using my phone and am looking into my first gimbal for those low shots when filming an artifact. The battery life is very important to me as we can be out for 6 or so hours and I will likely be filming a lot just to learn. Really appreciate all of you for your input.
Best smartphone gimbal review yet! Clear, to the point, used facts and comparison for different use cases. Really enjoyed your style and delivery in an unbias manner. Keep up the great work!
Nice presentation, I use a vizu stabilizer but with the Gimbal Pro 2 application you can only choose the 1080pHD option and not 4K on the phone. Do you know a Bluetooth app that works for Vizu that has a 4K option?
All of these gimbals will be landfill in a couple of years thanks to their non replaceable batteries, alongside my Zhiyun M2. Thus the cheapest one would be the wisest choice. For me, I’ll be purchasing DJI’s OM SE, which is a about 25% cheaper than the 6. Great review BTW.
I would go for the Hohem iSteady M6 if I do a lot of professionall videography. But I do that VERY rarely and would mostly go ahead with the DJI Osmo Mobile 6.
great video!!!! had no idea what the heck a gimbal even was, what to look for, what they could do, but it showed up in my amazon recommendations and i didn't even know they were so affordable for common youtube creators aka not people with thousands of dollars to spend. no only did I learn a lot from this video, but it was quick, easy and to the point. no fluff! no wasting my time - informative and clear! LOVE this video! thank you
Thank you for your review. I wonder if you know or recommend any adapters that I can use so a DJI Osmo Action 4 would work on a typical gimbal for smartphones. Thank you.
Nailed it. All your data are belong to us. All my questions answered. I will follow your reviews (I don't shop much). Clear, concise, informative; your B roll is great, and you share enough warmth (and enjoyment) without overstating or overselling a point (MIT?). I watch Brownlee for fun (time permitting?). I would watch you two geek out over his studio, specifically the Red camera robot they have. Had a Zhiyun 4 that only fits my old iPhone. Needed something quick for a trip. I will watch one more video for comparison, but I have something else to watch in iceland (fingers crossed). Well done. Xie Xie. - Grade: A- (never stop trying!) 😊
The way you provide the useful information is too smart. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻You understands the value of time and every time I saw your videos is make me more smarter to buy right stuff for me or how to correctly use the gadgets I own. 😎Thank you so much. Love from London.
Another fantastic video!! I just used my Smooth 5s yesterday on a hike. Had some issues which were user error, but once I got zeroed it. WOW!! I love this gimbal!!! The only two gripes I have is the zoom wheel didn’t seem to work on the StaCam app. And on ZY cami app you have to be superrrr careful not to single click the trigger while recording. If you do the tracking freezes your video briefly and now your audio/video are horribly out of sync. Hopefully this gets fixed someday.
Hi, I'm seriously looking for a gimbal. I don't mind the price. Here are my challenges. I own an Android Samsung galaxy s23 ultra and I'm left handed. I heard that Android users loose a lot of features when compared to iOS. What would you pick in all the gimbals you reviewed so far? Thanks 😁
Madam this is video is Excellent, woukd like to ask, thinking of buying of them, my top 2 are Hohem Isteady V3 or M6, wich one would you recommend for Samsung s23 Ultra, please? Thx
This comparison video is so good. Almost too good because I’m so torn on which one I should get for real estate videos. 😂 They each have so many great features!
Most of these come with mini tripods. If you want a full sized tripod, any of them will attach to the bottom of the gimbals via the tripod plate. I have a video on this channel about my favorite lightweight travel tripods.
Depends on which gimbal you have. Ideally, the gimbal has a 1/4-20” hole and you can attach a cold shoe mount to it and attach the mic receiver that way.
@@Willdivah hi there, I finally bought a Hohem MT2 due to it's multiple compatibility to smart phones, mirrorless cameras and GoPro, it has also an add-on AI module.
Can the Hohem hold a small camcorder? How long does its stick reach? Is there an option to film like 360 using iPhone 14pro max using this gimble? Can it be attached to a tripod?
I was more interested in the tracking aspect as i i have zhiyun smooth 4 and the tracking drives me crazy. This content kind of have answers to my problem and i will be going with the hohem. Thanks for the content
Was waiting to see what the OM7 would be like but the tracking on the Insta blows everything else away. nice I can use the app or the native phone app too.
Hi Gemini, verry good video, thanksss, I have question for you, I use iphone 15 pro max (i like) do you know gamble who use app with prores apple support.?
So thorough, so understandable and so helpful! What a terrific, useful video! Thanks! I'm leaning toward the Hohem for the features, but I went looking for gimbals for travel, so I might go with one of the smaller ones.
Hey great Video. Does anyone know if its possible to Connect a Microphone to the samrtphone like the dji wireless mic and charge the phone at the same time like for IRL Streaming ?
Great video , helped a lot, just curious when you mentioned about the wide angle lens, do the other rigs all have issues using the wide angle lens ? Would we see the rig on that wide focal length ? Thanks
Good question. None of these particular rigs have issues shooting wide angle, but in the Hohem, it will unless you switch to the wide angle shooting mode.
Hi I would like to know what gimbal work with the cámara of the phone. I bought DJI and the quality using the app is not the same when you use zoom in and zoom out.
Hi, is there such thing as a gimbal that will connection to the wifi on the Action 4? I ca find anything anywhere on the web? Thanks!!!😊😊😊 Happy New Year🎉🎉😊!
First time I came across your review, I really like it alot for the clear and detail explanation of each devices 👍. Please keep up the excellent works.
Hi GC, so if I have my phone on wide angle lens on the 5 S then some of the gimbal will show up? I want to use this gimbal for real estate videography. Keep up the good work
I went dji osmo 6 in 2024. I have a s21 ultra samsung. Works good but i think i need counter weight and deffa microphone. Only now i reliase its made for i phone basically because with android your limited to 30fps
I tried the DJI Osmo 6 Platinum Gray Version for the past 3 weeks with the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the app was crashing constantly, at least after each recording and sometimes freezing or crashing while recording with all footage being lost. Extremely frustrating, so maybe keep that in mind if anybody is thinking about getting it. I returned it ans got the Insta 360 instead, app works like a charm and it’s quicker to set up. The stabilisation seems to have a bit more of a learning curve to it but I am saving so much time by not having to constantly re enter into the app and it’s a relief to not be losing footage anymore!

I see many comments about how DJI didn't work with Android phones. I have S23 too and want to buy something that will work with the gimbal.
Wow....this was a great video. Thank you for being so in depth on this analysis.
I thought I would add here, I just got the DJI Osmo mobile 6 and it does film in 4k/60fps with my Samsung S23 Ultra. Yay finally!
I read that the attached doesn’t work very good if the telephone has a cover, that’s true? Thanks

These are just for phones. If you want a DSLR/phone gimbal, look at the Zhiyun Crane M2S or M3.
Thank you. Any good ones that you would recommend for DSLR/Phone gimbal in the DJI range? @@Gemini_Connect
