Gimbals are classified as 2-axis gimbals and 3-axis gimbals. To explain, a 2-axis gimbal can handle shaking in two directions and is capable of controlling tilt (vertical) and roll (rotation) movements.
On the other hand, a 3-axis gimbal can handle shaking in three directions and can handle tilt (vertical), roll (rotation), and pan (horizontal) movements, so it is possible to take more stable videos than a 2-axis gimbal.
When choosing a smartphone gimbal, it is better to choose a 3-axis gimbal to experience more effects.
The ‘hohem iSteady V3’ is a 3-axis gimbal, so you can expect powerful correction.
Also, the maximum load and the width and thickness of the smartphone that can be attached are no problem, even the largest ‘iPhone 16 Pro Max’ can be used.
Ms.ガジェットIn other words, it is compatible with most smartphones!
Mr.ガジェットThat’s right.
However, be careful as it may not be possible to attach it if you have a special case or accessories.
Normal cases should be fine, but be especially careful if you are using a special case.

Actual usage experience
AI tracking function always tracks the subject
As shown in the picture above, this gimbal always tracks the subject with the AI tracking function.
Mr.ガジェットActually using it, I was surprised at how accurate it was!
Once you set the person or object to track, it will not fail to track unless something extraordinary happens.
Can be used with both front and rear cameras
The part with the fill light and AI tracker can be easily removed by magnetizing it.
By changing the orientation, you can use it with both the front and rear cameras without any trouble.
Ms.ガジェットThat’s a thoughtful design!

|---|---|
| Operating time | Approximately 13 hours (When not using the AI tracker unit) Approximately 4 hours (When using AI tracking and fill light simultaneously) |
The ‘hohem iSteady V3’ has a long operating time.
Mr.ガジェットThe operating time changes significantly depending on whether you are using AI tracking, so be careful.

Adjustable light in 3 levels
Although it is a little hard to see in the picture, as you can see in the first to third pictures, you can choose the color tone of the light from three types.
Mr.ガジェットWhite, warm white, and intermediate color tones were the three.
Also, as you can see by comparing the third and fourth pictures, you can also change the brightness of the light.
Can stand on its own and is convenient
Like this, you can stand the gimbal on its own using the rod built into the bottom of the main unit.
Ms.ガジェットIt’s nice that you don’t have to prepare a tripod separately!
Remote control for remote operation
The ‘hohem iSteady V3’ comes with a Bluetooth remote control, allowing you to easily take pictures from a distance.
You don’t always have to hold the gimbal, so you can free your hands.
Mr.ガジェットThe presence or absence of a remote control makes a big difference. It changes what you can do significantly.
Ms.ガジェットIt’s convenient for taking videos on solo trips or taking group photos remotely.
Also, the app’s AI function can recognize specific hand poses, allowing you to take pictures with gesture control from a distance.
3-axis image stabilization function hohem 8.0 is installed
The ‘hohem iSteady V3’ is equipped with an upgraded 3-axis image stabilization function hohem 8.0.
The hohem 8.0 optimizes the image stabilization algorithm, realizing powerful image stabilization effects.
Mr.ガジェットI felt that the correction was powerful.
Even if I deliberately shook it, it was strongly corrected and became a stable video, so I was surprised!
Ms.ガジェットIt’s perfect for shooting while walking!

Difficult to master
This gimbal is multifunctional, so the operation is very complicated.
Ms.ガジェットWell, you can understand it if you read the manual…
But I don’t really want to read it because it’s a hassle.
Mr.ガジェットThere are settings that require pressing 5 times, which is difficult to remember. It would be helpful if it were more intuitive to operate.
I personally felt that using the app introduced later would make it more convenient.
Dedicated app available
You can connect the gimbal and smartphone, and adjust various settings from this app.
Mr.ガジェットI was able to use the app without registering as a member! It’s nice that you don’t have to go through a troublesome registration.
Ms.ガジェットThe app is very multifunctional and has many settings, so I recommend you try it!
