While the XbotGo still has some room for development, my experience with it leads me to believe that it is a gimbal with real potential.
I felt that the AI-powered automatic tracking and zooming still have room for improvement, but between the well-crafted app and the wealth of accessories, the overall package feels quite robust.
I recommend this for anyone who wants to make recording their children’s sports games easier than ever with AI support.

Mr.ガジェットThe 280g payload capacity is more than enough for almost any smartphone, unless you have heavy accessories attached. By the way, the iPhone 15 Pro weighs about 187g, so I think it will be fine for most smartphones.

Actual Usage Feel
AI-powered auto-tracking & auto-zoom!
The biggest feature of this gimbal is, without a doubt, its built-in AI.
Ms.ガジェットIt’s amazing that it has built-in AI!
Furthermore, this gimbal is specialized for sports photography.
Mr.ガジェットBecause the AI handles the tracking automatically, the person filming can watch the game with their own eyes!
Ms.ガジェットIt’s so great not having to worry about filming during the match!! Nothing beats the naked eye!!
Still room for improvement…
I actually used it multiple times for 11-a-side soccer, and to be honest, the AI tracking is still a work in progress.
Of course, the AI tries to analyze the flow of the game and keep the ball on screen, but when there’s a clearance or the ball moves suddenly, it often loses track of it.
Ms.ガジェットSo, you can’t just leave it completely unattended…
Mr.ガジェットI felt it was necessary to check occasionally to see if it was capturing correctly. If you consider it as something that provides auxiliary support, I think it’s quite excellent.
Since my testing was limited to 11-a-side soccer, I imagine the experience might be quite different for other sports or 8-a-side soccer.
Well-crafted app!
XbotGo has a dedicated app that allows you to use live streaming functions and cloud storage.
Mr.ガジェットBy the way, you can’t even use this gimbal for filming without installing the app.
Easy-to-understand Japanese support
As you can see, the app supports Japanese.
Ms.ガジェットIt wasn’t broken Japanese or anything; it was perfectly natural!
Mr.ガジェットProducts like this sometimes have apps that aren’t properly localized, so it’s a welcome point that this one supports Japanese!

Live streaming possible via app!
It is possible to live stream video like this using the app.
Ms.ガジェットIt’s great to be able to live stream for those who can’t watch the game in person, like when you’re traveling!
Mr.ガジェットHowever, please be aware that errors may occur depending on your device compatibility and network environment.
Data storage in the cloud
In addition to local storage, you can also upload and save data to the cloud via the app.
Mr.ガジェットVideo files are huge, so being able to save them to the cloud is a great feature!
Extensive peripherals and products
- Manufacturer original tripod (4 meters high)
- Manufacturer original tripod (1 meter high)
- Remote controller
As shown above, XbotGo has a wide range of peripherals and products available.
Mr.ガジェットHaving peripherals and products available is actually quite important! It makes a huge difference in convenience!
