Hohem iSteady Mobile Plus Handy Gimbal 3-Axis Handheld Stabilizer for Smartphone iPhone 11/11 Pro/X XR XS Samsung S10, S9, Note 9/8, Sport Inception Mode Visual Auto Tracking 280g Payload

Important premise: I returned this model for two reasons: 1.The most important being because I discovered that the same company also makes the Multi 3 model which, alongside the phone, has an action cam or small camera like the Sony RX 100 and I was able to find this other model (identical except for a few details) at a slightly higher price. I had difficulties because the app could not connect to the gimbal via Bluetooth. However, later I found that it most likely depended on the permissions granted by the phone to the app itself and that granting the permissions after the fact was not enough. In fact, in the new model, I uninstalled the app; downloaded and reinstalled, granted permissions and connected immediately. It is therefore probably that it didn't work on this model due to a mistake by me, now we come to the actual gimbal. It comes in a h Supplied in a versatile and padded case, very convenient to carry and protect. It's a pity that it doesn't have a handle, but whatever, other models don't have a similar case. Inside we find the gimbal and a plastic tripod that can be screwed under. This is well-made plastic that more than supports the weight of the gimbal. The gimbal itself is constructed of plastic, with the exception of the motor parts all metal, but the whole conveys a feeling of strength and stability. The handle has a rubberized part to ensure a good grip and to avoid unpleasant slips. The controls on the front are cleverly arranged and are all easily accessible with the thumb. On the back there is a kind of trigger , which can be pressed with the index finger and has two functions: 1. reset the gimbal and bring it back on axis.2. Activate the sport mode, which is more reactive than normal. Always at hand there is a USB port to use the gimbal as a power bank and to power the phone and a threaded hole on the side that allows us to connect an accessory such as a spotlight or a monitor control.An LED system shows the battery charge, the Bluetooth connection and the mode the gimbal is in (it has 4 usage modes for different types of creative shooting). The phone application is very well made and extends the creative possibilities of the gimbal. It also has a wide range of settings that will allow us a high degree of customization, among other things, adjusting the speed of the motors offers many performances that other parts lack , at a competitive price. Note the load capacity of 280 grams, which is suitable for practically all the most famous phones for photography and photography. Conclusions: purchase successful in my opinion, if you are only interested in the phone (separately purchased accessories, it is also possible to adapt an action cam) which is superior in many ways to other more famous brands.Competitive price, very well designed application with many features. Deserves 5 stars. I will review the Multi 3 model I purchased in detail after returning it.
