hohem iSteady Pro 4 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for GoPro 13/12/11/10/9 8/7/6/5, for Osmo Action and Other Action Cameras,Support Bluetooth & Cable Control, IPX4 Splash Proof with Tripod

Great Addition
If you have an action cam, Gimbals can be awesome. This one was easy to set up and the value was good. It feels sturdy and well built. You can spend a lot on Gimbals, but for personal use, this is a great value. It is also nice to use a table top tri-pod. Easy to use and set up, just read the instructions, these are pretty simple versions. One complaint is the manual didn’t give a ton of info, but honestly, google instructions. There are lots of videos and reviews and people will walk you through set up and use on youtube.

Does a pretty fair job!
I bought this for an Akaso Brave 7 and I can confirm that it does fit the camera. Does a great job at stabilizing the camera. If you are buying for an Akaso action camera just be aware that the wireless and Bluetooth functionality does not work currently.Great Gimbal for the price and does everything I need it for.

Don’t aggravate yourself
I did my research and narrowed my choice down to this unit despite some of the not so good reviews. I especially liked the review in which the individual compared this to a vibrater. Item arrived on time and anxious to try it out with my GoPro. Much to my surprise, the previously mentioned review was accurate. When power up, it just vibrated with camera attached. Even after turning down the axis torque settings it would still hum a bit, plus now the axis motors didn’t have enough power to move the camera around. I sent it back for a replacement and that one also did the same thing. Mechanical design team did a really nice job with this as it seems to be well made and sturdy. The electrical engineering of this unit is a lot to be desired. Sorry HOHEM, but you need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

Works but there are some frustrations.
Initially the gimbal looks good out of the packaging. As advertised the gimbal will charge your devices. Two different charging ports. One for the camera and a usb port to charge other devices.Installing the action cam on the gimbal can be a little tricky. Do not try to install the camera on the gimbal with any kind added cases or cages. The arm that locks the camera in place will jam and possibly break. Do not turn the gimbal on without a camera installed. It will act a straight fool and make you think something is wrong with it.Gimbal movements work for the most part but sometimes the gimbal tends to do its own thing and turn upside down or completely shift to the wrong direction. When this happens you have to turn the gimbal off and manually turn it back around correctly. This only really happens when you’re trying to get a shot at Ann awkward angle.The weight of the gimbal loaded with a camera isn’t bad. Fairly comfortable to use and carry for an extended amount of time. However the framing and mechanics of the gimbal gets in the way of your view finder which makes looking into the screen to get a good shot challenging at times. Because of that reason I don’t really use the gimbal that much compared to an extendable selfie stick. The gimbal can be added to a selfie stick or tripod but make sure your tripod has a wide base. The higher you go the worse the balance and center of gravity gets.I’d like the product at a slightly cheaper cost though. Ultimately you don’t really need a gimbal with higher quality action cams like GoPro or DJI due to the built in stabilization. However if you’re looking for a cinematic shot or slowing down the footage in post, the gimbal is worth it.In closing I will keep the gimbal and put it to use when I absolutely need it. I wouldn’t buy it again at its current price. To each their own though.

I am very impressed with the ease of use, and the gimbal camera mounting system is vey quick, reliable surpassing other systems currently used in other gimbals. No need to calibrate the gimbal is another asset ready to shoot ,after mounting the camera to it .Also, the Hohem isteady 4 pro gimbal app is loaded with useful features ,that many more expensive gimbals lack. In view of these applications, the price is surprisingly right and easy to swallow. Absolutely no regrets I bought this gimbal brand.

Rapport qualité prix très interessant. en gros, ca marche comme le DJI Osmo pour les téléphones, sauf qu’il n’y a pas d’active track (suivi des objets ou personnes).Testé avec la GP 9 on peut déclencher l’enregistrement, passer de video à photo.L’appli Holem téléphone permet de régler tous les parametres, très précisement, et de le commander à distance. c’est très pratrique suivant ce que l’on veut faire.Par contre impossible de connecter une Osmo action 1.Sinon avec une GP 9, ca marche très bien, je suis content de mon achat meme si le stab ne reconnait pas l’osmo (peut etre la 2 ou 3).La caméra action Osmo rentre parfaitement dans la nacelle, mais impossible de connecter et d’enregistrer depuis le stab 4. Non testé avec Insta

The iSteady Pro 4 has 3 axis stabilization, very smooth video can be achieved with any action camera. The camera mount is a very nice design, just a simple pull catch to secure and take off the camera. It works as a power bank and has battery life of up to 14 hours, it can also power your action camera with the included short cables, micro USB, USBc etcOut of the box it did not take any adjustment to make butter smooth video, just mount my camera and it does all the magic. I did a side by side test and with the gimbal it eliminate all camera shakes except up and down shift which I will need to learn ninja walk to get rid off.Connecting the gimbal to the phone is very straight forward, download the hohem app from apple app store and click the connect button. Once connected you can set different stength to the 3 motors, motionlapse is easy to use, just create different waypoints and set overall intervals. it will then control movment of the gimbal with the path you choose. Very interesting timelaps video can be made with it.The overall built is solid, it is small enough to fit into my camera bag. attach the included small tripod to the bottom of the gimbal and you have a phone controlled pan/tilt tripod. It gives a new lease of lift to my older action camera which lack the video stabilization need.nice grip with the handle and all the buttons and control is withing reach of the thumb and index finger.
