hohem iSteady M7 Gimbal Stabilizer for iPhone & Android, 3-Axis Gimbal | Magnetic AI Tracker, iSteady 9.0, 7.6" Rod, RGB Fill Light, 12H Battery, AI Live Feed Monitoring, Touchscreen Remote

I’ve been using this gimbal for a few days and I’m very impressed with its performance. The stabilization is smooth and helps make videos look much more professional, even when walking. The AI tracking feature works surprisingly well and follows subjects accurately without needing extra accessories. The detachable touchscreen remote is convenient and easy to use, allowing me to control settings without touching my phone. I also like the built-in extension rod and fill light, which make it great for selfies, vlogging, and group photos. Setup was straightforward, and the overall build quality feels solid and premium. Battery life has been good so far, and the carrying case makes it easy to store and transport. Overall, this is a feature-packed gimbal that performs exactly as expected and is a great choice for content creators and anyone who enjoys recording smooth videos. Highly recommended.

I've used the Osmo since the 1st Gen through the 8th. I always buy the pro version when it's an option. The issue is they don't do well with Pro Max, or Galaxy Ultra weight. The M7 is plenty strong for advanced movements. The detachable screen is cool once you figure out you need to turn on the little camera built into the fill light for it to have a signal. I don't use it, but it's a great feature for some. The Hohem app is not the best, but you don't need it. It's only useful for firmware updates. You can use all of the features directly from the gimbal. That's a really great feature. It works with the native Apple and Samsung cameras. It controls Black Magic camera also. I absolutely love this thing.

It works well with the Samsung 22 Ultra, which is a larger phone (229g), but you'll likely have to take a bulkier case off of it, or the phone clamps will not get a good grip, and your phone will be lost somewhere down a waterfall. Mechanically, this gimbal it's really amazing. It would have been amazing if engineers could allow a clockwise turn to go portrait, not counter clockwise and so you wouldn't need to take the phone out of the phone brackets to turn the phone upright- although, there is a mode if you tilt the gimbal to the right in PTF mode, it will turn it to a portrait mode with somewhat limited movement that is a little awkward but is still very usable to me. So I'm pleased I technically done need the app, just as I've heard about this device. The tracker is cool. Also makes the case that one doesn't need the application. Although, if you move too far away, like 10 feet (30 meters), your tracking starts to fall off drastically. But where you need to be, like when blogging or suchup close, it does its job well. I'm happy. I will day I HATE the tripod. It's complete garbage and made rather cheaply. I literally took it out now to calibrate the device with the tripod and noticed my gimbal was lopsided. 1 of the poorly made legs is too loose and goes beyond its designed limit of bend, so I can't use them. I have many replacements but the one with it sucks. Also beware if charging while using it. 10 minutes into using the gimbal, I got an "OVERHEATING" message with a really loud nose that will not stop until you unllug and turn the power off completely. I unplugged the charger and turned back on and haven't seen it since. That could be a problem if one need to use it for a long time but keep constant power going to it. I don't plan to do this but you never know. Despite that since it met me expectations exactly, it's a 5 for now. UPDATE: I did ask Hohem to replace the tripod feet and they did really quick. Really solid company.

I’ve been enjoying using my Hohem M6 gimbal, and it has only been lightly used so far. I pair it with my Samsung S24 Ultra, which is in a Spigen Tough Armor case—well within the supported size and weight range. However, I’ve noticed that the phone holder isn’t performing as expected. The wiring near the clamp is already frayed and exposed, and the plastic components feel loose, which affects stability when securing the phone. Given the minimal usage, this seems to indicate a quality issue with the holder itself.

I am super happy with this gimbal stabilizer, it’s looks really cool and very easy to connect with phone. Hold is perfect and have all advance functions: does come with remote to control and battery life is long. Great light weighted and carry everywhere and compatible to all iPhone and many other devices. Great value for money.

The stabilization motors handle heavy iPhones with cases easily. Cinematic pans, tracking shots, and walking vlogs come out silky smooth with zero jitter or shake. Mounting your phone takes seconds, and the controls are intuitive from day one.

This review is liable to change after I've used it more and ESPECIALLY if I can figure out what's wrong with the app. Before you buy you CAN check if this will happen to you by downloading the hohem joy app, allow all the permissions to your soul, skip connecting, and try video recording and see what happens. Why 1 star?(update below) 👇 Honestly the gimbol itself has been great so far and I really like it but what I'm mainly upset about is the app that connects to it. Since the seller is the company that makes both the product and app I think since they are both are essential to each other that I should review them as a whole. Also keep in mind this is my first day with it. What's wrong with the app? For me and many others in the apps 1 star reviews on Google play, when I go to start recording the app says "video recording failed" it also doesn't seem to be able to save pictures either. Now I can use my own recording app just fine but that means I loose all of the button functionality which is a huge portion of this product as you can tell from all of the buttons spinners and sliders! Being able to record is one of the biggest use cases of this product and the fact that I can't is worse than any bad UI or uncostimizable app that at least works. This is very frustrating because I was and still am in love with this product but I do need it to work! I tried one of their other apps for a different gimbol and everything worked just fine! So it's literally just this app :( I also read a review that mentions that after an update was passed the same thing happened where it said recording failed but they reverted back to an older version of the app to fix it. I don't know how or if I can do that. I suspect the problem lies with the saving path and it doesn't seem to be customizable. I could be way off tho. Also if you are implementing stuff an app for remote control threw another phone would be cool cuz I have one phone for the camera and another backup that would be able to preview and control settings if implemented but that's honestly too niche for me to expect it but would be cool and unique. Update: ok so I got to know it better took it out to dinner made a movie and it's obvious that they've made it as non app dependent as possible(which I really like cuz I have a camera that requires a special app and won't work otherwise). With the ai camera tracking and the wireless remote (which you have to buy separately so that's coming in yet) it's usable without the app but you loose the record and zoom and focus buttons (maybe you'll have record but mine doesn't) which most of which you can easily just tap on the phone or don't need to touch at all. I'm still miffed on the app not being usable but even with that it's still pretty good. The light on it would really only be good in extreme darkness otherwise it doesn't do much unless you just want a bit of color pop. (It is nice and I'm glad it's there. The controls do feel a bit jankey and needed to play with them for quite a bit to figure them out and even after knowing them they are still awkward and slow (mainly using that side nob. Kinda wish it was a potentiometer with hard stops just so I can physically know where my settings are and that would be so much quicker easier and more intuitive. Beyond buttons and software being weird the build quality is slicker than a hippo on a butter slide. I love the look feel and it's hefty which I personally prefer over chinesium construction. The only other thing I have to complain about is that the phone clamp barely grips my half inch wide chonker of a phone which I understand most phones aren't as thick but also understand this was the only phone gimbol with the capacity to even hold my massive 398g wp21 ultra. Also it hits the power button which I can fix but just barely. With my phone having 9800mah I don't need to plug it in but if I wanted to that extra half an inch is half an inch out of balance cuz it's maxed. All that said and considering the app is unusable I'm giving this 4 stars cuz 3.5 rounds up. If app worked then id say 4.5 due to awkward input methods and software but still a really good tool.

10-30-25 Final update: This company definitely deserves 5 stars. Despite having bad luck with my first 2 units. Hohem was very understanding and reached out to me offering to send me a brand new unit Free of charge. This company does stand by there products! 07-22-25 Update: Ive taken very good care of this Gimbal and just randomly today one of the motors stopped working properly. It keeps getting really hot and turns off. It doesn't swivel smoothly and shows it very unbalanced for the roll one motor and it gets caught up. Everything is unlocked and used like before. I just don't trust this Gimbal anymore. Now Im out of the return window. Update : The company and seller reached out to me and went above and beyond to rectify the situation. Im sure it was just a very unlikely mistake that they sent a used item. Rest assured that this company will take care of any issues you my encounter. Also this is the best Phone Gimbal released at the time of writing this. Blows the DJI Osmo 7P out of the water. Yes it costs more but is well worth every penny! Great Gimbal but terrible quality control at the factory. I bought this new and got a used item missing the cables and warranty card! Very disappointed. Be cautious from this seller. You may get a used item.

Me encantó, fácil de usar y me sirvió para la calidad de mis videos, esta super práctico.

Very nice piece of equipment for the price point.

But if you have the budget get the M7 huge upgrade but a bit trade off on battery life.

Un excelente producto para realizar transmisiones y videos estables compatible con una gran cantidad de móviles,

Only expectation is if we can have a wireless mic that 8s in kit and works with software.. rest all perfect
