Hi there! I don't usually comment on videos, however I watch a lot of UA-cam. I just wanted to say that it is really nice to see someone without trying to act "cool". You don't act, you are just simply yourself, it is a big-big thumbs up from me! Keep up the good approach, love it!
Thank you for your thorough comparison. We appreciate it. I am ordering the Hohem today!
finally good to see someone doing the run sample, that's the real deal to benchmark those types of equipment, not fluffy BS that commonly others do
Excellent advise many thanks. Think you have made my mind up and I will go for Hohem!
FINALLY SOMEBODY DOES THIS REVIEW.
Ive been waiting for somebody other than Mamoair to do this comparison
Thank you very much for the ideas
I just got the 10 today and the Steady pro 4. Really excited to use it.
Nice!
Thanks for comparison in gimbals. I believe Inkee may have been watching/ listening to your review as they now have inkee falcon plus which now accomodates the media mod. Not sure about control functionality via app for gopro hero10 if that was updated or fixed. Appreciate your clear and candid reviews. :)
Inkee now have a Falcon plus that does connect to the Hero10 with the media mod, but there app is not up to scratch. They absolutely need to add motion time-lapse to the app. The new Falcon plus also allows you to charge the GoPro from the Gimbal, again a feature that would be great for a long night time motion time lapse of the stars. This lack of feature really really let's the Falcon plus down.
I have the Hohem and you did a great job explaining its pros and cons. I’m new to GoPro 11 and Gimbals. I’m fairly technical but feel like I’ve got a lot of playing around and practicing with both. Hope that’s normal!
Very helpful, thank you!
I bought the hohem gimbal and I am learning how to use it

Your video gave me alot of tips and
I am appreciative thank you
Very informative, tnx!
Simple and more details.. Smart video.. ❤️❤️
Thanks for doing this review.
Thank You for the good information. 🙏
Just ordered the Inkee on your review. Thanks.
I ordered the Hohem for the Go Pro 10 not knowing about the obstruction of the lcd, that's a definite deal breaker! It's getting returned to Amazon immediately. Thank you for this video.
I ordered the Hohem iSteady Pro 4 about a week ago and I am excited to put it into my filming arsenal. I really like the idea of being able to remotely control the gimbal as well as the moving time laps feature. This is a good non biased review of the products features. Thank you for your contributions and information sharing. -Knot Addicted.
So glad to hear it. Enjoy the new gimbal!
Could you please tell how is it working after 2 years? In my country people have given bad review that it stopped working in few months.
@@roninr8199 After 2 years it is still working just fine. I have not had any issues with it and the battery seems to last as long as it did new. In extreme cold the battery life is diminished, and that is expected.
Thanks for the great review. We are looking for a gimbal, and as my previous comment suggests I am hoping to find one that works with the SNAP mount system for quick and secure connections. I love the Hohem features but that top mount is a deal breaker for us. The Inkee though far less thought out / executed in design and features seems like our most likely pick; this is despite the shorter battery life, one less mount, clunky UI, and allusive motion capture feature that may or may not exist though advertised. I will echo what you said about the battery…it sure would be nice if there was a port to use it as a battery bank. I will say that with the Hohem’s extra mount point it seems you could attach the Hollyland Lark to that gimbal giving you another option for wireless lavaliere; the only catch being that neither gimbal can support the Media Mod frame...sigh. Great job getting into the details!
This was a very comprehensive breakdown of the pros and cons. I may just stick with getting the Hohem.
Very Good Review, thx
I'm leaning to the Hohem. I like the turning radius . Good comparison.
I went with the Hohem due to its ease of installing to the gopro 10 and its larger grip for my beefy hands..
Comes with a nice case for easy packing on trips.
I have the Moza Aircross 2 for my Canon 90D camera so I am no stranger to gimbals..
This will be a great item for my Gopro 10 on my upcoming Japan and Alaska 16 day cruise..
that covering the touch screen is a no go for me. I was going to buy one until I saw this video - so thanks for the review!
thanks again falcon plus is the same as the original, with a extended arm for hte MM and guess ifwe want the added features it has to be a new purchase.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks!
After watching side by side reviews of these two gimbals I chose the Hohem due to the Timelapse feature and the price. I only paid $79 for mine on Amazon. I am pleased with it so far but the screen access is a downside but you adapt . There is a smart phone holder that screws into the side of the gimbal sold on Amazon that fits the previous Hohem model and this one as well for about $17 US. Now if Hohem could clear the screen from obstruction, allow the Media Mod , and make it a bit smaller , that would be unbeatable. Problem is , I believe that the Gopro gimbal market pales in comparison to the smart phone market so I suppose we're lucky to have this many options at all.
Yes, it is surprising to see so many GoPro gimbals on the market, but it seems there is enough demand 🤷♀️
Great video
just got the inkee falcon plus, what a nice and great gimbal is this :-)
i use a Feiyutech gimble works very well works so well i have 2 :)
Thanks. I brought the Hoheim because of your review
Awesome, I hope it works well for you!
Thanks you any advice would be Great ! thanks
Both are good Mam..I am using Inkee product its good
Happy new year my friend to you both!
Thank you Louis! Happy New Year to you too 🥂🎉
Great comparison review with amazing insights
I would like to know if any of these gimbals (Hohem iSteady Pro 4 or Inkee Falcon plus) is compatible with Insta360 One RS like handle control , motion timelaps, and other connectivity features (not only the mount)
Or do you recommend other gimbal for Insta360 One RS ?
Thanks in advance
Nice update
Someone on the DPReview forums has been testing the Hohem in low light. He found that the gimbal's stabilization just wasn't good enough. There were lots of little jerking motions. Now he is adding a layer of post-stabilization in DaVinci to clean it up, but this is far from an ideal solution.
It would be good to see a side-by-side night video with these two to see if there's any difference. I suspect both these cheap gimbals will have similar issues (ideally you want a gimbal with sub-pixel stability), but maybe not.
stupid; a gimbal wors the same night and day ... Not the action cam....
Very nice comparison. It helped me decide.
Which one did you go for?
@@Gemini_Connect Oh, I went with the Hohem iSteady... what do you think?
Thanks for this video which was very clear and informative. I'm currently in the market for a gimbal to suit a GoPro Hero 6 and although you said both models reviewed would suit legacy models back to #5 I think, it looks like the Inkee might struggle to take the housing which I need to mount my #6 (which doesn't have the fold down 'legs' more recent models have) Is that correct? The fact that the Hohem's housing obscures the rear screen is a bit of a show-stopper for me but otherwise seems to be a decent bit of kit.
ขอบคุณ ครับ
Inkee is better for sure! ♥️♥️♥️ great video!
Have you ever reviewed the DJI OM6 gimbal for the GoPro 11 with a special attachment to connect?
The greatest of all gimbals was the Karma grip, made by GoPro themselves, and it's a pity that the Falcon plus cannot match that. After using the Inkee Falcon plus for 3 months with the GoPro 11, media mod and DJI mics, I find the Bluetooth connectivity from the Falcon can be intermittent at times, plus the buttons are a bit fiddly using the gimbal one-handed, which I need. My main gimbal is now the Zhiyun M2S Crane. It carries my GoPro, the media mod and DJI wireless mics and gives amazing results. So, okay, the M2S will not connect to the gimbal, so I use the voice commands to the GoPro which is just as good, and after using the commands for a while, I find it more responsive and reliable than an intermittent Bluetooth connection that some gimbals suffer from, especially the Inkee.
I’d suggest using the GoPro app to access your menu’s on the hohem.
hi your videos are excellent and so important to help
me make decisions will the hohen model here work with my go pro hero 11 black as that’s my newest and would you say it’s better than the volta
Great video. I was eagerly waiting for that. Do you have a video on how to balance the Inkee Falcon gimbal? If so, a link please. I have the Inkee but my videos are not steady like the samples you have shown us.
I don't have s video, but it is pretty straightforward becausethere aren't many adjustmentsyou can do. Just attach the camera, turn on the gimbal, and make sure the camera looks well balanced. If not, just shift it forwards or backwards until it does.
Great review, I did notice (and update to) a firmware 102 available for the Inkee - not tested it with GP10, but maybe that would help?
I did the latest firmware update ion the Inkee right before filming this video, and it didn't seem to help with Hero 10 compatibility.
Inkee must have heard you because the Falcon Plus supports Hero 10 in Media Mod. It also appears to play better with the Hero 10. It still mentions timelapse on the website, but it appears that its only function is to keep the camera pointed in one direction. Movement of the gimbal during timelapse is not possible.
how i wish you can make alsovwhat guimbals good for dji action 1 thank you
I was wondering if you've used your osmo action 3 with the Falcon and if you did, does it work okay? Thanks
It’s nice outside where you can get used
good video I'm thinking of buying one for my gopro 👍👍
They're both really great. Inkee has a new version of its gimbal coming soon. Stay tuned!
Thank you for the review. Missing for me was a mechanism of attaching the gimbal to a bike, or backpack or belt.
that's what the tripod thread is for
@@PostAtariGeneration "that's what the tripod thread is for" okjay, so the gimbal has a trip screw, but that is half of the equations. Is there bike or back pack "connector/attachement/clamp" that uses a tripod screw to make use of the gimbal's tripod thread?
Super....
Do you need the media mod, the diving case or some kind of case to be able to mount it on the gimbals? Can you mount the camera itself onto the gimbal without any special cases/mods?
Great video! Would the Hohem work with the GoPro 11?
Hi, can the hohem steady v2 work with the gopro11? would be sweet to have a gimbal that can hold a phone or an action cam and also has the AI tracker that allows you to record with your phones native app.
Ah me sold. Thanks, hohem
can you make a video about recording with the gopro hero 10 without battery using the isteady pro 4 as external power?? they say that this fix the heat problem since the major problem for overheating is the battery ! thanks in advance
Just purchased an Inkee Falcon Pro and my first impression is very good. Mounting wise, I am wondering if there is a way to use a quick release with the Falcon Pro to allow for quicker changing between the gimbal and other accessoires? I’m thinking maybe something simple like a GoPro Quick Release Mount on the GoPro and and a Vijim GP-2 on the gimbal? (the Ulanzi Claw seems like a nicer quick release system but I don’t see how you could add that onto the Inkee Falcon). Has anyone tried something like this?
Inkee just announced their plus version which addresses all the cons you mentioned. Not confirmed but they also updated the app. Now you can mount mic mod, you can charge from the inkee and there is time-lapse within the app. Ooh time to upgrade
Yes, we are trying to get a review unit. Stay tuned!
So glad to hear that they added motion time lapse!
I just purchased the Hohem due to the fact I can extend my Hero 10's battery life by plugging into gimbals internal battery. I don't think you can go wrong with either of these gimbals depending on what you want to use it for.
Hi there, I bought and tested both of these. There seems to be a lot of shaking in the video on the Hohem if your GoPro doesn’t have Hypersmooth turned on. Did you see this?
i was just wondering if you need to go to the settings on the gopro 11 to make the mic work
Hello, the manual shows the inkee with a gopro mount in the media mod. The functional button for timelapse starts only direkt the timelapse function of the gopro
And by the way, the biggest NoGo at both of them is the thing, that you never be able to change the battery.
Does either of this support mobile cameras ?? Is yes do we need to buy separate mounts ?
INKEE FALCON PLUS is releasing soon!! It's got more features & upgrades!! REALLY LOOKING FORWARD FOR YOUR REVIEW AND COMPARISON!!
Stay tuned!
Have you tested the insta 360 ace pro on these gimbals
Do all the buttons on the Hohem iSteady Pro 4 with the GoPro 12 camera work?
You can use the media mod on the inkie only not the hohem
do they work with dji action 4? thank you
I take the Hohem defenetly
This question is for anyone that has the falcon plus: Would I also be able to use the gimbal with my smartphone if I had a smartphone to gopro mount adapter? I'd be more apt to buy it if it worked on both action cams and smartphones.
I'm really leaning towards the Hohem, but I think I may just wait a bit longer because I want to be able to use the media mod as well.
I'd wait until the new year to see if a new gimbal that supports the Media Mod comes out soon.
@@Gemini_Connect besides the hohem multi , is there one with good features and supports gopro11 with media mod? The multi is almost twice as expensive as the isteady 4
what about hero 11?? have you tried using hero 11 with isteady pro 4?
I bought the Inkee Falcon for my gopro 10 but was very disappointed with its night time performance. Even with Gopro stabalization on, i got jittery footage on a night walk video. Is the Hohem or the Crane M2S better? Thanks.
On the Inkee can it be used with a cage on your GoPro?
Hello i was needing some info it’s not about a gimbal but about the ETM -001 mic is it just a plug in and go i can’t find any info hopeing you can help me
I got my Hohem iSteady Pro 4 yesterday. Today I used it for an hour with my GP 11. Sadly its going back, I'm comparing apples to oranges but compared to my DJI Pocket its to big and bulky
Hi! Can't i have a question? Hohem iSteady Pro 4 can use good with gopro 11?
Can't i use dji osmo mobile gimbal for action 4 ?
Is the remote use app based or is there a controller available?
hi which one do you like?
There is a reason I still use the Hero7 with the Karma gimbal. Just insert into the holder and it is connected. Unfortunately GoPro is no longer interested in serving this part of the market, just supplying HyperSmooth to the crowd.
It is strange that they abandoned support of the Karma Grip. Even though Hypersmooth is good, there are reasons to use a gimbal and they are losing potential gimbal customers to other brands.
hi guys just a quick thank you for all your videos this year. I just got a sony a74 for Xmas from my good lady. are you going to do some videos on this. some tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated. thanks again. happy new year. God bless
Yes! Just received my Sony A7IV and will be doing a best settings video and more soon.
@@Gemini_Connect fantastic 👏 👌
That's a pretty nice comparison between the two gimbals 🙏👍 I've the Inkee Falcon and I've noticed that when triple-clip the trigger button for vlogging the camera doesn't really returns 180° absolutely there is a small deviation. Have you really noticed that?
Yeah, you have to double press to reset it.
@@Gemini_Connect sure, I don't mean the camera re-center but when the camera turns in front of you with triple click for vlogging. It is not actually half a turn 180° looking on you but there is a little deviation. Of course with double click it returns back to the initial position.
Will the hohem work with the hero 12?
‘’ I have a GoPro hero 10 on each of these cameras” that made me laugh. Very Subtle, but fun. How ever more to the point here. It does seem the Hohem is better? Thanks about the crop factor on built in steady . I didn’t know this… thank you for taking the time to compare these two gimbals in such detail. Very interesting. I ended up buying the Inkee. Just because the connection of gimbal with Inkee seems less complicated
Lol, I didn't even catch that 😂. I also prefer the inkee for the size and ease of use, but there ard reasons why the Hohem is better.
@@Gemini_Connect Hello again, sorry i miss understood , your saying turn off the camera stabilise and use Falcon gimbal and it can be better? Ps you can put an extension on the Falcon
which one fits better the sony action cam?
Works with dji action?
I almost bought the Hohem Pro 4 but the Gopro H10 screen is just hard to operate when installed. Maybe Feiyu will release a better gimbal design.
Feiyu hasn't had a new GoPro gimbal in awhile, but it would be nice to see more options. You could also go with the Moza Mini P or Zhiyun Crane M2 or M3. Those are bigger and more expensive, but theh would support GoPro without blocking the screen.
Am I correct that you do not need *-GoPro Volta-* if you have *Hohem iSteady* . Saving yet another $150 backs by that.
Thanks for the information! Can you recommend a gimbal that could be used for both GoPro8 and iPhone! Which would be the best option!
I'd recommend the Zhiyun Crane M2S -

I got some problem in Inkee Falcon. It's not turning on. Pressing the power on bottom only blinks the light of FPV. Someone help me with this??
just checked amazon and there's a Inkee Falcon Plus and it looks like it can handle the media mod so you were right. just FYI
Waiting for ours to arrive and will do an updated video when it's here.
I bought Inkee Falcon after watching one of your previous videos on the said gimbal. Unfortunately I've found Inkee Falcon to be shaky, jerky and jittery, even after advanced calibration. I will try Hohem
I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't experienced those problems with the Inkee. I hope the Hohem works out better for you.
Hohen Pro4 did not the Gopro Hero 11 mini. I buy the hohen Pro but I return it cause it won't fit with my Gopro Hero 11 mini. Any recommendation that I can use?
Does the Hohen pro 4 work with a go pro 11
Do you know if the Inkee fixed the gopro 10 connection issues yet. Good comparison video. thanks
there is plenty of videos with GoPro10 connection done easy to the Inkee Falcon+..
