I had an interesting experience with the hohem iSteady M6 that I feel is worth sharing. Initially, upon ordering the device, I was met with a hiccup; the first unit I received unfortunately seemed to have a few issues. However, the company was swift and seamless in providing a replacement. Their customer service department deserves a nod for their efficiency and ease of communication. The replacement unit works seamlessly with my Samsung S23 Ultra. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it has been smooth sailing - no hitches or problems whatsoever. Its compatibility with my device has been truly impressive, reinforcing my confidence in this product. Now, I won't sugarcoat it - the iSteady M6 does come with a bit of a learning curve. The buttons and functionalities aren't the most intuitive out of the box. But fear not, a bit of patience and willingness to learn will take you a long way. After a bit of reading and watching the provided guides online, the operation of the gimbal became second nature to me. All in all, I am more than satisfied with the hohem iSteady M6. It delivers an impeccable balance of stability and flexibility, and once you get the hang of it, it's an absolute joy to use. I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable gimbal for their video recording ventures. Patience with learning the controls is a small price to pay for the professional-level stability and fluidity that the iSteady M6 offers. So in conclusion, if you're looking for a reliable, high-performing gimbal, the hohem iSteady M6 should certainly be on your shortlist. The minor obstacle I encountered was efficiently handled by the company, and the overall performance has been outstanding.

My first Gimbal after messing around with a few that my friends had. Now they all want one like mine. The M6 works great! It does everything I want. The locking mechanism is the only thing that I worry about. the First lock is a latch and holds tight but the next lock is a little flimsy and will probably fail before long. Construction is great and easy to operate. The AI sensor mount is amazing and works great. It even picks up if it loses my face for a moment. My friends gimbals do not. The 3 axis are snappy and support my phone well. It will not fully balance my phone vertically but perfect horizontal. I may have to add a counter weight. I have a case on my phone and that has a little to do with the balance but vertically it still a little off without the case. Motors are stout and hold the phone stable. I am very happy with this purchase and my buddy's are jealous.

It works well with the Samsung 22 Ultra, which is a larger phone (229g), but you'll likely have to take a bulkier case off of it, or the phone clamps will not get a good grip, and your phone will be lost somewhere down a waterfall. Mechanically, this gimbal it's really amazing. It would have been amazing if engineers could allow a clockwise turn to go portrait, not counter clockwise and so you wouldn't need to take the phone out of the phone brackets to turn the phone upright- although, there is a mode if you tilt the gimbal to the right in PTF mode, it will turn it to a portrait mode with somewhat limited movement that is a little awkward but is still very usable to me. So I'm pleased I technically done need the app, just as I've heard about this device. The tracker is cool. Also makes the case that one doesn't need the application. Although, if you move too far away, like 10 feet (30 meters), your tracking starts to fall off drastically. But where you need to be, like when blogging or suchup close, it does its job well. I'm happy. I will day I HATE the tripod. It's complete garbage and made rather cheaply. I literally took it out now to calibrate the device with the tripod and noticed my gimbal was lopsided. 1 of the poorly made legs is too loose and goes beyond its designed limit of bend, so I can't use them. I have many replacements but the one with it sucks. Also beware if charging while using it. 10 minutes into using the gimbal, I got an "OVERHEATING" message with a really loud nose that will not stop until you unllug and turn the power off completely. I unplugged the charger and turned back on and haven't seen it since. That could be a problem if one need to use it for a long time but keep constant power going to it. I don't plan to do this but you never know. Despite that since it met me expectations exactly, it's a 5 for now. UPDATE: I did ask Hohem to replace the tripod feet and they did really quick. Really solid company.

This review is liable to change after I've used it more and ESPECIALLY if I can figure out what's wrong with the app. Before you buy you CAN check if this will happen to you by downloading the hohem joy app, allow all the permissions to your soul, skip connecting, and try video recording and see what happens. Why 1 star?(update below) 👇 Honestly the gimbol itself has been great so far and I really like it but what I'm mainly upset about is the app that connects to it. Since the seller is the company that makes both the product and app I think since they are both are essential to each other that I should review them as a whole. Also keep in mind this is my first day with it. What's wrong with the app? For me and many others in the apps 1 star reviews on Google play, when I go to start recording the app says "video recording failed" it also doesn't seem to be able to save pictures either. Now I can use my own recording app just fine but that means I loose all of the button functionality which is a huge portion of this product as you can tell from all of the buttons spinners and sliders! Being able to record is one of the biggest use cases of this product and the fact that I can't is worse than any bad UI or uncostimizable app that at least works. This is very frustrating because I was and still am in love with this product but I do need it to work! I tried one of their other apps for a different gimbol and everything worked just fine! So it's literally just this app :( I also read a review that mentions that after an update was passed the same thing happened where it said recording failed but they reverted back to an older version of the app to fix it. I don't know how or if I can do that. I suspect the problem lies with the saving path and it doesn't seem to be customizable. I could be way off tho. Also if you are implementing stuff an app for remote control threw another phone would be cool cuz I have one phone for the camera and another backup that would be able to preview and control settings if implemented but that's honestly too niche for me to expect it but would be cool and unique. Update: ok so I got to know it better took it out to dinner made a movie and it's obvious that they've made it as non app dependent as possible(which I really like cuz I have a camera that requires a special app and won't work otherwise). With the ai camera tracking and the wireless remote (which you have to buy separately so that's coming in yet) it's usable without the app but you loose the record and zoom and focus buttons (maybe you'll have record but mine doesn't) which most of which you can easily just tap on the phone or don't need to touch at all. I'm still miffed on the app not being usable but even with that it's still pretty good. The light on it would really only be good in extreme darkness otherwise it doesn't do much unless you just want a bit of color pop. (It is nice and I'm glad it's there. The controls do feel a bit jankey and needed to play with them for quite a bit to figure them out and even after knowing them they are still awkward and slow (mainly using that side nob. Kinda wish it was a potentiometer with hard stops just so I can physically know where my settings are and that would be so much quicker easier and more intuitive. Beyond buttons and software being weird the build quality is slicker than a hippo on a butter slide. I love the look feel and it's hefty which I personally prefer over chinesium construction. The only other thing I have to complain about is that the phone clamp barely grips my half inch wide chonker of a phone which I understand most phones aren't as thick but also understand this was the only phone gimbol with the capacity to even hold my massive 398g wp21 ultra. Also it hits the power button which I can fix but just barely. With my phone having 9800mah I don't need to plug it in but if I wanted to that extra half an inch is half an inch out of balance cuz it's maxed. All that said and considering the app is unusable I'm giving this 4 stars cuz 3.5 rounds up. If app worked then id say 4.5 due to awkward input methods and software but still a really good tool.

I’ve been enjoying using my Hohem M6 gimbal, and it has only been lightly used so far. I pair it with my Samsung S24 Ultra, which is in a Spigen Tough Armor case—well within the supported size and weight range. However, I’ve noticed that the phone holder isn’t performing as expected. The wiring near the clamp is already frayed and exposed, and the plastic components feel loose, which affects stability when securing the phone. Given the minimal usage, this seems to indicate a quality issue with the holder itself.

Great product sooo many features with the APP. It can be confusing in the beginning but once you get it it’s easy! Great for Vlogs or YouTube channels smooth video and even has facial/object recognition tracking . You can also do gestures with your hands to do hands free controls! Just getting to know this but already have so many ideas ! The tripod screws into the bottom effortlessly and works perfectly well even on a rocking boat without falling over ! Battery lasts all day, it's grip is comfortable naturally in the hand, and you can’t beat what you get for the price hands down!

I use my iPhone 14 Pro Max with a thin silicone cover. This is important to know because I ordered several gimbals before this one and none of them safely held the 14 pro max. I read a million reviews for someone that used my exact phone and couldn’t find any that said they both used my model and it fit. With that being said… it fits!!! Quite nicely I might ad. I’ll be honest. I didn’t really practice using it before I made this video and I’m sure by doing so, I could have given a more cinematic experience to my viewers. But still it isn’t disappointing for my first time use with no practice while climbing up to god knows where in a snowstorm. Definitely look up some videos on using the shortcut buttons and practice a lot before using it for real. Also make sure you stabilize your phone before starting to film or it will turn off automatically if it’s not center weighted. Overall I’m really happy with this product

Me encantó, fácil de usar y me sirvió para la calidad de mis videos, esta super práctico.

Very nice piece of equipment for the price point.

But if you have the budget get the M7 huge upgrade but a bit trade off on battery life.

Un excelente producto para realizar transmisiones y videos estables compatible con una gran cantidad de móviles,

Only expectation is if we can have a wireless mic that 8s in kit and works with software.. rest all perfect
