Hohem iSteady M7 Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphone, Magnetic AI Tracker Fill Light, Detachable Touchscreen Remote Controller, Built-in Extension Rod, 500g Payload Gimbal Stabilizer for iPhone Android

One word to describe this gimbal. Just, WOW. I've owned the iSteady M6 version of this gimbal for over a year now (I love it) and decided to treat myself to an upgrade for Christmas as soon as I saw the new M7 was available. There is already so much hype over this gimbal on YouTube- and the hype has all proven to be true and accurate! This gimbal really has it all and the engineers at Hohem seem to have thought of everything the content creator would need to produce great videos and included them as features in the M7. You can even make live content on any app while using the Hohem Joy app to control the gimbal- so this gimbal is perfect for people creating content for TikTok, Instagram, etc. (the gimbal/AI tracking can be used without the app, too!)First, I like that Hohem decided to still include a durable carry case but now include room to hold my Zhiyun M40 fill light, and extra cables. The included charging cable, coiled transfer cable, as well as the tripod attachment are everything a new user would need to get started. Also, let me just say how great it is that this gimbal has a built-in extension pole/selfie stick. Fully extended, the gimbal's length just about doubles in size – about two feet! It's a very convenient way to film professional quality selfie content without having to carry around more equipment. It raises the question: Why don't all manufacturers include a telescoping pole feature? The handle grip has a robust, solid feel and the control wheel feels smooth and refined.To me, the most impressive upgrades on this gimbal are its use of the newest AI technology and the removable magnetic components. The detachable touchscreen remote is a game changer. I love that I can remotely frame myself perfectly in the shot without having to walk back to the camera to check my framing. It enables precise use of the gimbal from a distance and shows battery life of the gimbal and the battery charge of the detachable remote. Best of all, the remote displays a real-time view of what the smartphone is recording. So useful- for example, you can double tap on an object in the touchscreen video to instantly enable the AI tracking. The AI tracking is fantastic, too. Hohem's AI technology has been in use for a couple years and has become refined with this generation. The upgraded higher resolution AI imaging makes fast movements and turns no problem at all for the AI to track. The AI module also doubles as a bright multi-color fill light that is adjustable from warm to cool.This gimbal has an upgraded battery that gives 12 hours of standalone runtime and has the option of charging a smartphone which dramatically increases shooting time. I used the setup all afternoon and only used about 25% of the battery. And Hohem says that it only takes 3 hours to fully charge the battery, too.All this adds up to the M7 being the most feature-rich smartphone gimbal I've ever seen. And at this price point, it is well worth the investment.

The Hohem iSteady M7 Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphones exceeded all my expectations, from the moment I opened the box. The product was meticulously packaged, ensuring all components arrived in pristine condition. What stood out right away was the inclusion of a high-quality case, which not only offers secure storage but also makes it incredibly portable—a thoughtful addition for those always on the go.Having used several gimbals from Hohem and other manufacturers over the years, I can confidently say that the iSteady M7 is the best I’ve encountered to date. It truly raises the bar with its innovative features. The Magnetic AI Tracker Fill Light is a game-changer, providing dynamic lighting and smart tracking capabilities that allow for seamless, professional-grade footage. The Detachable Touchscreen Remote Controller is another standout, offering ultimate control and convenience, perfect for solo creators or collaborative shoots. The Built-in Extension Rod is both sturdy and smooth, making it ideal for achieving those tricky high-angle or wide shots effortlessly. And with an impressive 500g payload capacity, this gimbal is versatile enough to handle a wide range of smartphones without compromising on performance or stability.For both amateurs and professionals, this gimbal offers exceptional value for its price point. The attention to detail, robust build, and advanced features make it an indispensable tool for content creators of all levels. I highly recommend the Hohem iSteady M7 to anyone looking to elevate their videography—it’s worth every penny!

I recently bought the Hohem iSteady M7 Gimbal Stabilizer for my iPhone 13 Pro, and overall, I’m really happy with it! I use it for filming social media videos for clients, so stability and smooth shots are essential for me. The gimbal does an excellent job in that department! The AI tracking feature is awesome, and the detachable touchscreen remote is a game changer. It makes controlling everything so much easier while filming.One of my favorite features is the extendable rod. That’s been one of my biggest complaints about other gimbals — they’re just too short. It’s so great to finally have the ability to extend the rod for those wider shots and more flexibility.However, I did run into a little issue with audio. When I recorded with just the iPhone’s built-in microphone, I noticed a rumbling sound. After calling the company, they suggested the motor might be the cause since the balance seemed fine. I returned the first gimbal and bought a second one, but I encountered the same issue. After digging through some online forums, I realized I just needed to use a Bluetooth microphone to avoid the rumbling. Once I made that switch, the issue was completely solved, and I haven’t looked back!It’s been amazing for my social media projects, and I highly recommend it, especially if you’re doing any sort of video work where you need smooth shots and great features like the magnetic AI tracker and fill light. Definitely worth it!
