So glad I discovered your channel, good sir. I was initially looking to get the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 and Insta360 Flow Pro and found that they are not as good of a product as advertised. I was on the fence between the Hohem iSteady m6 and v3 but I felt like each had a feature that made them unique. So glad I waited and they released the m7 which is as close of a fusion of the two as possible.
According to Hohem's website, you can adjust the tracking on the detachable screen so that it shows the subject in a way that mirrors what your phone is seeing. By long-pressing the side button and adjusting with the joystick. Fantastic video, I just came from your M6 video thinking "that's the gimbal for me" but now I'm all in on the M7!
@SamuelSotiega I think he is talking about reframing. All of the gesture actions can be done frome the remote. I like tge remote screen as a visual reminder if you forget some gesture motions.
Did they improve the plastic latch that locks the gimbal balance arm? The plastic latch of the M6 doesn't clamp down with enough pressure. You can slide the aluminum rail with your fingers after it's tightened. I wish they would add some kind of locking or latching mechanism for the remote like the Ai tracker has now... Are the remote magnets at least stronger in the M7 or the same ones in the V3?
The magnets feel a bit stronger, but there is a locking mechanism, so the tracker won't pop off, unless you press the small release buttons on the side. Quite neat. The locking of the axis feel a lot stronger. My M6 dangles like a dancer on a dance floor, so to me this is a very big improvement to start with. As a whole, it feels every area or aspect from the M6 has been improved on.
I am impressed watching this gimbal tracking objects with no phone inserted. Hohem is using removable controls as a remote on 4 different models, with the display only on M7. Have you been able to get the suitcase handle attachment?
That is a touch question. Both are great, doing something slightly different. They are definitely my best 2 smartphone gimbals… the mini 2 is also for compact cameras… i am planning to do a video comparing them in January…
Thanks for the comment! The smaller and lighter lenses are from Sandmarc (Link in the video description, if intersted) and the larger ones are from freewell... For a gimbal, I tend to use the Sandmarc because they are amazing, and small and light... I hope this helps
@@SamuelSotiega Thank you very much! Honem m7 looks fantastic and your clip is really professional looking. May I ask one last question? What film editor do you use and which do you recommend? I use wondershare filmora 14 and I’m interested in hearing other opinions? Thank you for the response.
@@PalmyaZahradyCz I use Davinci Resolve. I started with the free version, but eventually upgraded to the Studio (paid) version and have not regretted it since.
@ many thanks Samuel. I have a Sandmarc wide angle and telephoto on the way now. I told them that my order was provoked by your videos. Many thanks. Ron.
Love your video I like the product. Después de ver las respuestas mejor voy a esperar un gimbal de Hohem que me deje usar action cam, smartphone and mirrorless. Uno para todos para que valga el gasto. 😊 buen trabajo con tus videos hecha le ganas amigo.😊
The M6 will definitely work with the 15 pro max. I use Sandmarc lenses and filters because they are small but very good. Left a link in the video description, if interested…
Hohem hat genau die drei Dinge, welche ich vermisst habe, verbessert. Achsensperren, Zusatzmonitor und Selfiestick. Mutig ist es, am gesperrten Gimbal zu rütteln, war doch die Achsensperre am m6 ein Schwachpunkt. Ich musste meinen m6 mit lichthärtendem Kunststoff aus der Zahnmedizin dauerentsperren! Leider ist mein m6 funtionstüchtig, ich habe eine 40cm-Verlängerungsstange und eine Fernbedienung. Deshalb muss ich den m6 noch nutzen, bis er alt und kaputt ist... ...oder ich fahre mit dem Auto drüber. Wo ist mein Autoschlüssel? Wieder beste Unterhaltung aus London. Grüße aus Brandenburg.
I use Davinci Resolve Studio, but they have the free version that for most people, is more than enough. You should try it! I also have some videos I made in the past about it, to get started, if interested.
@@SamuelSotiega bueno, el Feiyu scorp mini 2 me gustaba mucho, por su variedad de adaptadores y por sus movimientos suaves....un amigo lo tiene, peeeeeero , despues de ver tu video , he hecho el pedido del M7.!!!!!!...tiene una pinta extraordinaria, estan a otro nivel.....y si han podido solventar las fallas del M6 y así como su aplicación, pues mira , otro gimbal de Hohem que voy a tener despues del steady x2....muchas gracias ,Samuel por este excelente video y por tus consejos
The clamp does take on an action cam, but because of the design. It covers the whole back on the camera. I don’t think this is suitable for actioncams. But hopefully hohem will roll out this design to their actioncam gimbals in the future…
@@SamuelSotiega yeah I agree ... I did try it after commenting here, on my old osmo gimbal and thought it couldn't fit, but it fits and found it immediately the problem that I missed in this ... I first saw the gimbal + action cam combo also here in youtube reels
I use Sandmarc VND with their lenses and also the filter mount to use with their case, when I just want to use a filter with the main lens and no other lens. I also use the Freewell filters when i use their lenses...
You can do it, I have just tested it and it works, but it is the AI tracker that you engage,m, not the app tracking features. This is because you only get a video preview through the ai sensor’s camera, so you can tap your face or any other person’s face or object and the AI tracker will start tracking. Is this what you were after?
Have been troubleshooting a NEW m7 right out of the box since Saturday as I explained to Hohem through tech support this was a gift for my wife and it’s defective. It jerks in tilt mode, then flips the camera facing down and gets stuck, all 3 switches are unlocked, tried recalibrating. This was the suggestion by hohem tech. “Please try rotating it up and down for a week to restore it to its initial state.” After him having me send several videos for over an hour he then requires me to do a zoom meeting with another tech for an hour. Wow! Any suggestions how to get this thing to work properly?
Can you send me a private message (details in my channel's about page)? and I will get my contact at Hohem to get the right person/ department to speak to you or change the unit
@@XDreamKidz I can only do as much, but in the past when someone reached out to me I got the right person to speak to them adn resolve the issue. I will keep asking them about your problem until they or you tell me it has been resolved. Damn it, we will get this sorted out for you asap. Are you in London? If you are, I can loan you my unit until your issue gets sorted out...
Really nice review, could you do a review of the Insta Flow Pro too? Thats also new. Especcialy it would be interesting what gimble is the best for iphone users... 🙂
I use Sandmarc lenses but also Freewell. To show the gimbal can handle quite a good payload. The tripod is a mix. Legs from a dslr tripod, and the head is from a freewell light tripod… if interested on any of them I can send you a link so it saves you searching for them.’let me know

It is a very solid upgraded. It’s almost like a upper tier model. Definitely feels like a much more developed product. If you do, you won’t regret it…. Still the M6 is very good!!
Wow, this is a nice gimbal, do you think this would work with an action camera with that clamp? With that higher payload now, I can see this as a very versatile gimbal for all types of cameras.
Yes, you can engage the AI tracker through the gimbal’s lcd. Not the tracker within the Hohem app, but the AI tracker. This AI tracker works independently to the app. You can use the Hohem app with it or your favourite 3rd party app, up to you. Is that what you were asking?
It all depends on what you use to film with and your workflow. For some this will be an amazing product, for someone else might not. The Pocket 3 is truly amazing, but you do need around $5-600 to get going with the creators combo…
@@SamuelSotiegaI guess it also depends on whether you already have a suitable phone. Phone plus gimbal will be much more expensive than Pocket 3. But at least the gimbal rotates 360!
@@Ozpeter you have a very valid point. But most people carry a phone these days, so the cost can be sort of assumed and absorbed, I would say. Still the P3 is amazing, so small and mighty, I love it. But I truly feel this gimbal is really good too! Different tools for different situations…
You can always push the payload over around 150-200g, that is my opinion, with counter weights, but I never recommend it, specially so close to the absolutely max. You might be better off waiting for when the MT3 comes out, and that way you will get guaranteed payload limit. I don't what else to say. It is advertised as 500g payload limit, so you would be well over it. It could be possible, but not recommend it....
Technically it does, but, in my experience having done some tests, I have found it to be a bit temperamental. I would not do those type of shots unless I have plenty of time for trial and error until I get it right
16 pro using apple log, with blackmagic app so you can use codec h264 while still filming on apple log, yes, you’ll get stunning footage. The mini mic you can mount it on camera, and use mini counter wights if you need extra balancing range. That is a serious set up you got there! The M7 would be an awesome addition, in my opinion.
I have a hohem mt2 and the gimbal drifts in lock mode from day 1. I was told that this is normal operation for that gimbal so needless to say I won't be purchasing another Hohem gimbal especially when my Smooth 5, 5s ai, dji on 3, and crane m3 don't have this issue and outperform it in every way.
You have a fair point. Zhiyun and DJI make excellent gimbals, like really, really good. It all comes down to whether you see yourself using the features on this gimbal. But hard to say anything bad againts DJi or Zhiyun, because I can't! They are amazing gimbals
@@SamuelSotiegaI definitely wish Zhiyun would make an m3 that would communicate with a phone and also support a true vertical mode. I like a lot of the Hohem features but the pan drifting isn't something I can deal with for real estate videos.
@@PeterPapoulakos I can do some further tests on this tomorrow and report back to you. I also use the lock mode a lot so it is very important that works and it is reliable. When I was filming in Camden market for this video the lock mode felt solid, but I was doing 1-2 takes and moving on in a very hectic environment. In a more quiet and controlled environment i am sure I can spend more time paying attention to how it holds up…
Thank you I appreciate you running some tests. I believe I recieved a lemon and because I am nearing the end of the manufacturs warranty they don't want to replace it. I should of sent it back when I first bought it but I made the mistake of buying it during the holidays and wasn't actively using it as I was quite busy shooting real estate videos and didn't want to risk using a new gimbal on my shoots without properly testing it.
I did some test on my gimbal and the lock mode barely works with one repetition but if you do more than one or if the movement is too long it drifts when going back to the original position. I think this is a defect in my gimbal but Hohem has told me repeatedly that it is the way their gimbal operates. I also did the same test with my Smooth 5 ai and sent Hohem examples and I had no drifting so needless to say I will be sticking with Zhiyun for the forseable future.
It can. But not the telephoto lens, it is too bulky and heavy, unfortunately. I have tested it with the wide angle and the anamorphic and they worked fine.
It is something I’d love because of the remote but I do miss my light on my smooth smooth 5s light should I wait for the mirrorless version 😅so I can also have the new remote on that one ?
Je crois que oui. La charge utile est de 500 g donc ça devrait aller. Il peut prendre un 13 pro max sans problème, ce qui est un téléphone plus lourd que n'importe lequel des modèles 14, 15 ou 16 pro max. J'imagine que le S24 ultra devrait convenir. L'application Hohem Joy prend en charge Android, mais l'avantage de ce cardan est que vous pouvez l'utiliser avec votre application tierce (j'utilise l'application Blackmagic), donc même si l'application Hohem n'est pas fonctionnelle à 100 % avec Android, vous devriez pouvoir l'utiliser. le cardan avec votre application tierce préférée. J'espère que cela a du sens.
If the Insta 360 keeps the same design, it wonl;t be able to compete with the M7.... But the apple watch preview with the iphone is super integreation, that is for sure!!!
The gimbal has a clamps that when you mount an action cam, it covers the whole back, so you can't see anything. If you have one of those that have a flip up screen, I guess you could. But Hohem does gimbals for actioncams and I am sure they will implement this lcd/ ai tracker/ camera combo on any new gimbals moving forward... I would imagine...
Really? I have never got anyone mentioning considering buying a gimbal in bulk from a manufacturer. I reviewed my first Hohem gimbal a couple of years back and I have never had any complaints about them before.
uhhmm... I am so sorry to hear that. This M7 does feel a lot more rugged and better made, but I can understand your reticence, based on your personal experience...
Bro there is ai to clean out audio now why Is the sounds a problem. And there are free ai audio cleaning tool the actually works. Thanks thoni enjoyed the video 😊
You are right about AI and noise cleaning, but not everyone is so clued up about these things. When I review something, I need to be able to appreciate that not every person might be as experienced on this or that and trust me, I know from people who reaches out to me and I speak to, some people can shoot, but they have very limited knowledge about editing, let alone refining or AI tweaking. I hope it makes sense why I decided to mention it. Thanks for chipping in though!!!
I have the M6, and I want this one! The removable screen is huge! Plus, the AI tracker follows pets! Awesome!
I agree with you too!!! My next video is the M7 vs M6 and MT2. Stay tuned!

Wow the cage fits 😮
It fits without any effort or having to push too hard
It is something I’d love because of the remote but I do miss my light on my smooth smooth 5s light should I wait for the mirrorless version 😅so I can also have the new remote on that one ?
The sensor on this gimbal is also an LED light, and it works really well too
@ wow
bonjour
L'appareil est-il compatible avec le Samsung Galaxy s-24 ultra merci
Je crois que oui. La charge utile est de 500 g donc ça devrait aller. Il peut prendre un 13 pro max sans problème, ce qui est un téléphone plus lourd que n'importe lequel des modèles 14, 15 ou 16 pro max. J'imagine que le S24 ultra devrait convenir. L'application Hohem Joy prend en charge Android, mais l'avantage de ce cardan est que vous pouvez l'utiliser avec votre application tierce (j'utilise l'application Blackmagic), donc même si l'application Hohem n'est pas fonctionnelle à 100 % avec Android, vous devriez pouvoir l'utiliser. le cardan avec votre application tierce préférée. J'espère que cela a du sens.
I think i looks great 👍🏾 but big … so I hope insta 360 flow pro 2 will be out soon + with Apple Watch Ultra 2 ( black ) I have my remote screen 😊
If the Insta 360 keeps the same design, it wonl;t be able to compete with the M7.... But the apple watch preview with the iphone is super integreation, that is for sure!!!
CAN I stick my action camera on it?
The gimbal has a clamps that when you mount an action cam, it covers the whole back, so you can't see anything. If you have one of those that have a flip up screen, I guess you could. But Hohem does gimbals for actioncams and I am sure they will implement this lcd/ ai tracker/ camera combo on any new gimbals moving forward... I would imagine...
DIFERENCIAS ENTRE M6 VS M7?
I am filming it tomorrow, aiming for early next week release
I love that I can use mobile lenses 😮
3rd party lenses can make the footage look so much better than the built-in ones
Vertical mode is insanely easy
true!
I need that remote 😢
it's really cool
Why does it seem like a dropshipping item tho? Their website offers really odd bulk buying structure.
Really? I have never got anyone mentioning considering buying a gimbal in bulk from a manufacturer. I reviewed my first Hohem gimbal a couple of years back and I have never had any complaints about them before.
Yeah I wish u can attach the lcd to see yourself on the arm
hopefull a feature for the next model!
So glad I didn’t get the m6 this one I like better
Indeed it is!
Too bad that Hohem's quality sucks. I bought an M6 and it broke down in 15 months. They are disposable. Never again.
uhhmm... I am so sorry to hear that. This M7 does feel a lot more rugged and better made, but I can understand your reticence, based on your personal experience...
Bro there is ai to clean out audio now why Is the sounds a problem. And there are free ai audio cleaning tool the actually works. Thanks thoni enjoyed the video 😊
You are right about AI and noise cleaning, but not everyone is so clued up about these things. When I review something, I need to be able to appreciate that not every person might be as experienced on this or that and trust me, I know from people who reaches out to me and I speak to, some people can shoot, but they have very limited knowledge about editing, let alone refining or AI tweaking. I hope it makes sense why I decided to mention it. Thanks for chipping in though!!!
Anyone want to buy my M6?
If you have ebay or similar where you live, might be an option…
