Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Hohem Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer 2021 Upgrade โ€“ Lightweight Foldable Handheld Stabilizer, 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal by Alicia Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Responsive creative app, face tracking, lots of great video features

At $89.99, my expectations for this Hohem gimbal stabilizer were pretty low. I already had a much larger gimbal from a well-known drone manufacturer. This stabilizer is about half the size and weighs the first stabilizer which is a big plus for me. To use this stabilizer you need to download the application, install it, register/create an account (quick and easy, no personal data). necessary). You then need to auto-calibrate the head and make sure your phone is in the center of the mount. This takes 40 seconds, during which time the device must be perfectly vertical and still. The handle has a USB-C charging socket without a cover, so you can stick tape on the charging socket when using it outdoors where it could potentially get wet. Includes mini tripod and mini remote control. Some sequences, such as B. Pairing with a remote control requires seven (7!) button presses, so keep this guide handy. Once calibrated, the gimbal will keep your phone in a perfect horizontal or vertical position. With face tracking, the camera captures a person's face and works great as long as the subject doesn't move abruptly. The toggle switch on the controls pans left/right and up/down. The little button on the bottom right next to the Shift key is the power button, but it also flips the phone from vertical to horizontal and pairs the device via Bluetooth. One of the biggest downsides to the gimbal's small size is that it doesn't work with larger phones. It almost doesn't work with the iPhone XS Max (6.5 inch screen), but not with anything bigger. Overall I am very happy with the gimbal and the app. You need an app to access the many great features of this powerful stabilizer. Highly recommended for small cell phones! We love the fit and finish of the stabilizer.
