If you're looking for a really affordable smartphone gimbal, look no further than the Hohem iSteady X. And in this video I'll give you an overview plus some basic instructions on how to use it. Priced at $70 you get a full featured 3-axis gimbal capable of stabilizing smartphones that weigh up to .62 pounds.
Inside the box it comes with a fabric carrying case, USB-C charging cable, wrist strap, tripod, the gimbal itself and an instruction manual. The iSteady X also only weighs about half a pound so it's very light and compact when folded. But to put this to use you have to loosen the nut on the arm and then flip the phone clamp up. Then twist the handle counter-clockwise to unlock it. On the handle you'll find the shutter button, camera orientation button and joystick. On the left side is a zoom slider and on the right is the USB-C charging port. On the bottom there's a quarter inch tripod hole plus a loop for the wriststrap.
The included tripod is actually a stubby plastic handle which gives the gimbal more to hold onto. And it simply screws onto the bottom of the handle extending the grip. This tripod is pretty small but it's enough to hold the gimbal upright on a flat surface. The phone clamp is rubberized to prevent scratches and on the top there's a sticker showing which way to mount the phone.
One thing you need to know is the iSteady X has to be activated to work. Which means you'll have to download the Hohem Pro app for iPhone or Android. As part of the activation you will have to create a Hohem account before the gimbal will even work. And if you don't complete the registration first the motors won't activate even when the iSteady X is powered on. But as soon your account is set up the gimbal comes to life and it's ready to stabilize your phone.
You can use the joystick to move the head around. This is useful to help make minor adjustments to keep the camera pointed where you want it. With the joystick I can also change the tilt. But if the camera gets out of whack you can double click the power button and the motors will automatically realign to center. A single click of the power button will quickly switch the phone from landscape to portrait orientation and then back again.
To change stabilization modes you need to hold the shutter button down while clicking the power button.
Mode 1: Pan and Tilt Follow - With this the phone follows the rotation of the handle basically keeping track of where the back of the handle is pointing. And if I tilt the handle the phone will follow the up and down movement so I can shoot things that are above and below me.
Mode 2: Pan Follow - Again the camera follows the rotation of the handle. But when I try to tilt the camera is locked in it's horizontal plane. And as I move my arm forwards and back the camera won't point up or down. So this allows me to pan left and right but there's no tilt.
Mode 3: All Lock Mode - In this mode the camera is always facing the same point of interest no matter where the handle is moved or rotated. The camera is basically locked in place. But you can adjust the point of interest with the joystick if needed.
Mode 4: POV Follow - This is very much like the first mode in that it allows Pan and Tilt follow. But main difference between mode 1 and mode 4 is that when I do a side tilt the camera also tilts. Unlike mode 1 where the camera stays locked in the horizontal plane.
Overall the motors on the iSteady X provide very smooth stabilation for shooting video. And I think that $70 for a 3-axis gimbal is pretty affordable for almost anyone wanting to shoot better video footage. And here's a final tip, when I'm shooting I always have the tripod handle attached just to give me more to hold onto. But the detachable tripod is what makes this so portable that I can take this with me almost anywhere.
