Nice review, thank you! Great budget multi-purpose gimbal both for those who want to have AIO gimbal usable both for their smartphone and action cameras. Probably I would go that way and buy this one if my wife had a need for gimbal that she could use with her smartphone and I could use it too with my action camera, but she doesn't need gimbal for her smartphone and my wallet was happy because of that fact :) Ordered Hohem iSteady Pro 2 from TomTop for just $71.99, only 11 days for delivery and my Firefly 8SE 170°FOV is more than happy, me too. Once again thank you for this review too, your YT review of iSteady Pro 2 was the one (besides that one on Worth it or not channel) that convinced me that iSteady Pro 2 is the right gimbal for me. Cheers from Serbia, neighbor!
Heey Igor, warmest regards to Serbia! I;ve just been in Belgrade a week ago. You made a great choice, and it is remarkable how good Tomtop's pricing of these gimbals is.
Ha! I just purchased this gimbal to give my old action cams a second life -- the Contour Roam and Roam 3! LOL! BUT, I also bought it for my DJI Osmo Action because it cannot take advantated of its RockSteady EIS while in HDR model, so this gimbal will reconcile that shortcoming. I imagine I can again use one of my old Canon PowerShot cameras as well. So, this is a great investment. Thank you for this video. Liked and subscribed.
SInce you mostly shoot with action cameras, I think the Mobile Plus makes good sense - it is almost as big as this one; Same motors, same kind of operation. And much easier and quicker to mount. With an actioncam plate it will be great.
I just bought one second from CEX UK. But it just isn't as good as you all say. Well it won't calibrate well. Then when it does its just doesn't respond with the trigger button. Sometimes it just powers off even when fully charged. Think I'll get a Dji osmo 3.
Usually - the calibration is mostly dependant on balancing the gimbal correctly. If it isn't, and if the motors are not well tuned - you will get vibrations; Hybrid gimbals covering many devices usually require a lot more attention, because the differences in terms of payload are more serious as compared to other gimbals. In the end - your idea to get Osmo 3 is quite reasonable. It has limited angles, but much easier to deal with.
@@TechMishka HaPPy 2021 Michael n many thanks for your reply. Sorry I've another query pls, what do u think of this isteady multi vs zhiyun crane m2 in terms of size and balancing..? Because I've bought crane m2 last Xmas n found it difficult to balance, and also quite big compared to those tiny phone gimbal, so it attracts attention when I'm using it which I just hope to quietly do some filming while walking alone... and BTW is isteady multi the same as isteady X..? Many thanks in advance 🙂
@@NikhilShrestha1 I sold the unit maybe a couple min after trying it. It didn't feel right and I remember it did hit something when it moved around, but I think it had the clearance, maybe I did something wrong. I just realized that it's no good for my needs, as I have a soon to be 3 year old and he's to crazy to be dealing with a gimble.
Hmm, I will try to help you. Could you please send me a short email with your contact info at contact@tech4all.net. Can't promise it will work, but we can at least try :-)
@@TechMishka just want to reconfirm there's a USB A output port to power other gadgets right? I need the USB A to power my Lumix LX10 adapter battery. This will enable me to shoot longer hours without changing batteries.
I owned it for 1 day! A lot of motornoise ruïned my video on the sony RX100M3. Maybe I did something wrong....bit I send it back!! I dont know of iets beter with a phone.... There were a lot of positieve video's about this product but maybe that was because a lot of UA-camrs got this gimbal as a present from hohem....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Thing with these gimbals is that you need some time to get used to it and get to know how to get the maximum out of it. If there is noise - likely it is either not balanced, or the motor gain is too high or low. You can check the app for adjustments.
PAY ATTENTION!! Not all cameras that are on the list of suitable for the Isteady Multi are suitable. I have the Nikon Coolpix A 900, which stands on their sufferings but does not fit on the Multi. That is deception. Hohem easily gets rid of it with the words “sorry, but we have no solution for you. just try sending it back "That is a bad service !!
Hey Michael, thanks for the review. Hope all is well, you guys have a great weekend my friend
Yooo, Donnie, such a nice surprise to see you around! How are you doing my friend?
All good here, mate. Enjoy the Sunday too!
Does the gimbal rotates for 600 degrees in the inception mode? Mine not even rotates for 90 degrees. Plz help.
Yeah, it does. You will have to hold it horizontally.
Nice review, thank you!

Hey, thanks for the sub and the awesome comment. Indeed - excellent for older small cameras - kind of brings them back to life.
@@TechMishka Exactly! No longer assumed discardables.
Glad I didn't get one yet. Another great review. Still undecided on which one to get. I like this mount the best so far.

Which do you prefer? the iSteady Mobile Plus or iSteady Multi?
I like smaller gimbals, so the Mobile Plus is my preference.
Halo Michael, can this gimbal be used on gopro max as well as Samsung Note9 please..?
Yes, you can use it with both devices. Likely the Hero Max will show part of the gimbal if you are using the 360-degree mode.

Great description Michael! Please tell me can this gimbal track moving object?
Hmm, couldn't find a way with the smartphone app - but maybe there is a way to do it. 🙄
Hello Michael! Does this gimbal charges the action cam with the port at the plate??
Yes, you can do that.
Hi great video what was the name of the remote control you said you can use with the gopro in this video thanks
Oh, that simply is the smartphone app.
Between this and zhiyun q2 what do u prefer
Might sound old-fashioned, but I'd rather use the Q1 😎
For smartphones the Q2 is a better option - very easy to operate with.
Awesome review.... I can't wait to get mine. Hope my LG G7 can do flashlight mode without hittng the arm.
There's only one way to find out. Fingers crossed! 😎
did your g7 hit the motors?

@@danieldelillo thanks for the reply 😉
Thanks tech4all
Most welcome!
Hmm, is that comment coming from Ireland? 😎
Is it still worth it in 2022?
Can it hold CANON 1300D?
Better get something more powerful.
Wow nice review been trying to get review unit from them but looks like I'll have to buy to review instead...

Isteady support with beastgrip rig?
If it is not too heavy, it may support it.
I really like the way you make your videos
I really like this comment! 👍😎
6:37 so it works on inverted mode, will that work on smartphone too?
Yeah, that should work with a phone as long as you can balance it.
Nice one 😊👌
Thank you! Cheers!
1.17ozs is extremely light in comparison to 530gms! Are you sure that's correct?? :-(
That's what google convertor has said :( Am I wrong?
565gr with Smartphone clamp
Wow
Support samsung m30s?
Yeah, should be well supported.
Hohem, cheap, good quality, long battery life, but seems that stabilization is not even near to DJI or FeiyuTech
Could be because of my kind of handling on the beach - I wasn't really following the protocol 🙄
I have GOPRO MAX ... i don't need gimbal 😂
Oooh, the MAX!!! How does it feel? What is the action camera that you used before it?
