I’ve been testing a wide variety of
smartphone gimbals for some years now as a tech critic and pro photographer, and save for some small pros and cons, ultimately, they all offered about the same functionality. After all, these accessories are meant for one primary purpose: to reduce shake and smooth out videos. It was a bunch of the same, really… until recently. AI is entering the smartphone gimbal realm, and this was my first time trying these novel capabilities. Enter the Hohem iSteady V3, the first smartphone gimbal to get me excited in years.
Artificial intelligence aside, the Hohem iSteady V3 actually has much to offer. It’s a great gimbal in every other aspect, with plenty of modern features, a versatile design, awesome portability, and a focus on becoming “your personal videographer.†Not to mention, it is actually priced very competitively for what’s on offer. I’ve been putting the Hohem iSteady V3 through the paces for a couple of weeks now, and am ready to give you my two cents on it.
