One of best tech reviewer I'm subscribed to.. keep it up Sir 😊💙👍

[LovingAtlanta]

👍🤩Terrific review. Very helpful. Thank you. 💝
❓What is the folding lock and unlock for? The item located near the top of where the gimble twists & turns (item # 07 in the user manual). It doesn’t seem to “lock or unlock” anything.
❓How long does it take to fully charge the battery from empty to full?

Hey there from Airdrie Canada! Great review as always, couple questions for you! Is the tracking feature ONLY face tracking or will it track your body as well if you turn sideways or back to the camera? What's the range it can still follow you at? For using with Osmo Action, do you need a camera plate, as you show yours just being stuck in it as is! How does the AI react with an action camera mounted, it seemed yours wasn't as quick to see your gestures when the action camera was on there. Thanks if you can answer those! I've been looking for a tracking solution with the Osmo Action

[crackshotscreenprinting]

ive noticed that if you put your thumbs too close together it wont see it as two. move them apart and then use the gestures and bingo, it works flawlessly.

[robye.]

hi, would you recommend this model or a more current one? (I have a samsung S21) and I'm interested in making 4k 60 fps videos! Thanks!

[chankyabhatia]

Hi, can you suggest which gimbal is worth for Samsung S21 Ultra?

[dkwldfdl]

v2를 구매하여 기다리고 있습니다. 좋은리뷰 감사합니다. 어둡다거나 빛을 받았을때는 작동이 잘안되는점이 아쉽네요 . 구독했습니다~~

[vaishalitodkar]

Thanks for detailed review, will this work with Gopro9...?

[FreakyChumy]

DJI could probably catchup with this AI Technology, But I'm 100% sure it will costs 5 times more expensive than their current Gimbals right now. Hence I will cling to Hohem still, for the price and reliability reason of course.

THANK YOU for the review!

I am very very interested in buying this gimbal.. the only thing I'm wondering is how you think the long-term quality is.

in your opinion, ofc when given good care (no falling etc), does it seem like a gimbal that may break or malfunction within a few months or do you think this is an item that can accompany me for years to come?

I'm reading a lot of reviews that the gimbal starts to tremble, tilt uncontrolably, and click. Did you experience the same?

I have an android phone and gopro, and I'm looking for a gimbal that's not too big, but of good quality (ie may stay with me for a few years) -- i'd love to hear your suggestions on this

Thanks!!

[neutraluser]

Any gimbal can be used on meeting apps like zoom, teams, etc as I'm moving around the room so need tracking.

[TheGaryNinja]

I would have bought this, but the inception mode is partially blocked by the motor when viewing. It's a minor detail, but then again if you want to be the best you have to pay attention to detail.

[geminikitty]

Where did you get that pixel computer thingy?! 👀

[DimusTech]

I've somewhat lost interest in gimbals, but damn this one is cool! tracking seems to work well and finally it doesn't matter what you connect to it!! Great idea!
seems like it's not perfect but.... damn that's something new and an awesome direction for gimbals!
(And ye! I'm super late in watching YouTube again, have no time lol)

[artlyc]

With the S21 Ultra, were you able to use the activate the record option for the video/camera on the native samsung camera app with the gimbal button or do you need to use the Hohem app for that?

[JA-cqys]

Can I use my go pro hero black 8 on this gimbal too??

Hello everyone!
(ORIGINAL TEXT IN PORTUGUESE BRAZIL - TRANSLATED WITH GOOGLE TRANSLATOR)

Next, always in order to add more knowledge to everyone, I share some information about the results of tests I did using iSteady V2.

From my point of view, the equipment is really very good. However, in my tests, it had some problems.

For the tests I performed, I used two smartphones: Redmi 7 (32Gb + 32Gb SD Card - Android Version 10 QKQ1.191008.001 - Bluetooth 4.2 with A2DP/LE) and Redmi Note 9 (128Gb + 128Gb SD Card - Android 11 Version RP1A 200720.011 - Bluetooth 4.2 with A2DP/LE).

After performing several tests, my considerations are as follows:

1 - Using the Hohem Pro app with the hand gestures function turned on:

The "tracking" commanded by hand gestures had problems in both smartphones. After commanding the start of recording a video (fingers in V), the recording was/is stopped immediately whenever I made/made a gesture with my hands; regardless of whether it was/is the flat hand gesture to end the recording or another normal gesture such as moving your hands to make any gesture (like the ones we do when talking or explaining something to people). In my view, this flaw completely invalidates the use of the hand gesture commands function through the use of the Hohem Pro app. Too bad!

2 - Using the Hohem Pro app to do "human face tracking":

The app "loses face tracking" very easily. Also, the range (range) of the "face tracking" observation/tracking field is too short; whether the smartphone is vertically or horizontally. The function also cannot handle movements that are a little more sudden/faster than usual (such as quickening your step, running or making sudden up/down, right/left movements). A feather!

The "object tracking" function, although a little more stable, has similar problems.

3 - Using the AI ​​(Artificial Intelligence) camera:

It works as advertised by the manufacturer, but it should be noted that the START/END recording functions/gestures and the VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL repositioning (fingers to the right or up) functions are mutually exclusive. This means that if you are recording and make a gesture of turning the smartphone (to horizontal or vertical) the "tracking" is immediately canceled. Recording continues, but there is no more "tracking" until it is commanded again (manual "O.K." symbol).

The "tracking" of the AI ​​camera differs from the "tracking" of the Hohem Pro app in that it does not "track" the face, but rather the modification of the environment that was/was present at the time the start of recording was commanded. As normally a person commands the beginning of the recording, the "tracking" of the AI ​​camera is done (or "appears to be") following the movement of this person, but in reality, the tracking follows the change of the components of the environment at the beginning of the recording ( after the "OK" manual command). Personally, I found this form of "tracking" very cool; for me much better than face/face tracking

It's also important to note that hand controls with the AI ​​camera don't always respond as they should; mainly the commands that turn the cell phone to the vertical and horizontal positions. I couldn't identify the reason for this. I don't know if it's luminosity, balancing or gimbal calibration. The fact is that cell phone rotation does not always work as it should. I found other people who complained about the same thing. It is noteworthy that I did not do any tests using the ISteady V2 remote control (I didn't buy it), nor using any device that allowed me to change the environment constantly (for example, following a cat or a dog ). However, I believe that AI camera tracking will work just fine. I have achieved identical results using the AI ​​camera without apps or with any other recording/photo apps (eg my own smartphone apps or others like Filmic Pro - or Hohem Pro itself, used only as a simple recording app).

ENDING:


TEXTO EM PORTUGUÊS BRASIL

Olá a todos!

A seguir, sempre no sentido de agregar mais conhecimento a todos, compartilho algumas informações sobre os resultados de testes que fiz utilizando o iSteady V2.

No meu ponto de vista, o equipamento realmente é muito bom.Todavia, nos meus testes, ele apresentou alguns problemas.

Para os testes que realizei, utilizei dois smartphones: Redmi 7 (32Gb + Cartão SD 32 Gb - Versão Android 10 QKQ1.191008.001 - Bluetooth 4.2 com A2DP/LE) e Redmi Note 9 (128Gb + Cartão SD 128 Gb - Versão Android 11 RP1A.200720.011 - Bluetooth 4.2 com A2DP/LE).

Após a realização de vários testes, as minhas considerações são as seguintes:

1 - Usando o aplicativo Hohem Pro com a função de gestos de mãos ligada:

O "tracking" comandado por gestos de mãos apresentou problemas nos dois smartphones. Após comandar o início da gravação de um vídeo (dedos em V), a gravação era/é interrompida imediatamente sempre que eu fazia/faço algum gesto com as minhas mãos; independentemente se era/é o gesto de mão espalmada para encerrar a gravação ou um outro gesto normal como mexer as mãos para fazer uma gesticulação qualquer (como as que fazemos quando conversamos ou explicamos algo às pessoas). No meu ponto de vista, essa falha invalida completamente o uso da função de comandos por gestos de mãos através do uso do aplicativo Hohem Pro. Uma pena!

2 - Usando o aplicativo Hohem Pro para fazer "tracking de face humana":

O aplicativo "perde o tracking da face" com muita facilidade. Além disso, a amplitude (range) do campo de observação/acompanhamento do "tracking de face" é muito curta; estando o smartphone na vertical ou na horizontal. A função também não consegue lidar com movimentos um pouco mais bruscos/rápidos do que o normal (como apressar o passo, correr ou fazer movimentos súbitos de sobe/desce, direita/esquerda). Uma pena!

A função do "tracking de objetos", embora um pouco mais estável, apresenta problemas semelhantes.

3 - Usando a câmera AI (Inteligência Artificial):

Funciona como anunciado pelo fabricante, mas há que ressalvar-se que as funções/gestos de INÍCIO/FIM de gravação e as de reposicionamento VERTICAL e HORIZONTAL (dedos para a direita ou para cima) são mutuamente exclusivas. Isto quer dizer que se você estiver gravando e fizer um gesto de virada do smartphone (para a horizontal ou vertical) o "tracking" imediatamente é cancelado. A gravação continua, mas não há mais "tracking" até que ele seja comandado novamente (símbolo manual de "O.K.).

O "tracking" da câmera AI difere do "tracking" do aplicativo Hohem Pro no sentido de que ele não faz "tracking" de face, mas da modificação do ambiente que era/estava presente no momento em que o início da gravação foi comandada. Como normalmente uma pessoa comanda o início da gravação, o "tracking" da câmera AI é feito (ou "parece estar") acompanhando o movimento desta pessoa, mas na realidade, o tracking acompanha a mudança dos componentes do ambiente do início da gravação (após o comando manual "O.K."). Particularmente, achei essa forma de "tracking" muito bacana; para mim, muito melhor do que o "tracking" de face/rosto

É importante ressalvar também que nem sempre os comandos de mãos com a câmera AI respondem como deveriam; principalmente os comandos que de giro do celular para as posições vertical e horizontal. Não consegui identificar o porque disso. Não sei se é a luminosidade, o balanceamento ou a calibração do gimbal. O fato é que nem sempre a rotação do celular funciona como deveria. Encontrei outras pessoas que reclamaram da mesma coisa.Cabe ressaltar que não fiz nenhum teste usando o controle remoto do ISteady V2 (não comprei), nem usando um artifício qualquer que me permitisse mudar o ambiente constantemente (por exemplo, seguir um gato ou um cachorro). Todavia, acredito que o "tracking" da câmera AI vá funcionar perfeitamente.Consegui resultados idênticos usando a câmera AI sem aplicativos ou com quaisquer outros aplicativos de gravação/fotografia (p.ex.: os aplicativos dos meus próprios smartphones ou outros como o Filmic Pro - ou o próprio Hohem Pro, utilizado apenas como um aplicativo de gravação simples).
