Review on Stabilizer Hohem ISteady V2 Smartphone by Nick Gathings

I've used almost every major stabilizer to set the record and personally I have a Hohem X2 stabilizer. Therefore, my rating is based on my personal experience. This is my second Hohem V2. I really liked the AI auto tracking feature it had to offer and was really looking forward to using one for my live streams and whatnot. The first one I ordered was defective as the motor got hot in the first few minutes and the gimbal came off. I followed all the instructions in the user manual and used a regular iphone 12 pro. As it was unusable I ordered a second one thinking it was just a defective item. This one came yesterday and since then I've been trying to really like it, but unfortunately I'm not happy with the V2. - AI tracking only works when you are moving very slowly, e.g. B. when you cook or similar, where you only have to do a few steps. If you move faster or bend down to pick something up and the AI sensor loses you, it won't pick it up. You'll need to do the OK gesture again for it to start tracking you again. If you tilt your phone from landscape to portrait or vice versa, it will stop tracking. The movements of the V2 are not smooth at all compared to the X2. The X2 runs smoother and moves with no mechanical noise like this V2. The battery life of the X2 is longer than that of the V2. The V2 is also slightly heavier in the X2. In general I would personally prefer to use X2 and V2. X2 from high instead of V2 for suspension. It's cheaper, lighter and works perfectly. The only thing missing is an AI tracker and that was the only feature I was looking forward to from this one. Unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. Nice breakthrough in gimbals with this one. I will definitely wait for the next high product and hope they fix the bugs with this one.
