When we think of 3-axis gimbals (or stabilizers), the first brands that probably spring to mind are ZHIYUN and DJI. However another Chinese company - Hohem Tech - has been perfecting its line of smartphone gimbals since 2014 and claims to have produced the first face-tracking gimbal back in 2016. Prior to the iSteady V3, I’ve tested and reviewed two Hohem gimbals - the iSteady MT2 and the iSteady M6.
The Hohem iSteady V3 is the latest version of Hohem’s budget smartphone gimbal range, but it has a few new tricks up its sleeve that should make it attractive to vloggers and videographers who shoot on their smartphones. Indeed its innovative design features could give it the edge over more expensive smartphone gimbals as I’ll explain.
