I just bought the M6 and will follow your advice (jejeje). Keep up the great work. Please, make a comparison of MT2 vs Weebill 3s and/or Scorp Mini. Thanks

@OttoJulian_ Год назад

Great suggestion!

@OttoJulian_ Год назад

I hope you enjoy the M6. I know I still do!

Год назад

@@OttoJulian_ If my experience is good with M6, I'm thinking to upgrade to MT2. But my wallet can't choose between these 3 gimbals: MT2, Weebill 3S, and Scorp Mini. Scorp Mini and MT2 are in the same price range and are very similar. The Weebill 3S (combo) is a little more expensive. So I need an experienced opinion to make a choice. This new gimbal probably will be my Christmas Christmas / birthday gift so it's a lot of time to think about which one is the better one. Probably I will film more vertical videos than horizontal so this is a must-feature.

@AlanDanielx Год назад

@@OttoJulian_ is this MT2 better than Weebil 3s? I have weebil 3s but i find it very heavy. I have a Sony ZV e10 and Iphone 15 pro max, and go pro 11

@OttoJulian_ Год назад

@@AlanDanielx yeah for your camera I'd go with the MT2 or something smaller. I can't say that one is better than the other one in general, because there are things that I do like about the 3S that I can't find on the MT2, but the same applies the other way around. For your camera I would go with the MT2 as long as you don't have a super heavy lens.

Will it auto track animals-cats? If not, will it follow the built in camera tracker like in the a6700?

@jean-philippegrignom6479 7 месяцев назад

Is there also a functio in the app, for the tracking it would be nice to be able to track people that don't do the gesture

@OttoJulian_ 7 месяцев назад

Yes you are right. That is the downside (to do the gesture). There is a function inside the app but it will use regular tracking (just like every other gimbal) and not the tracking sensor

@sophiebero4716 Год назад

I am really considering buying this but I would like to know if you can shoot vertical with a smartphone?

@davidpoo66 11 месяцев назад

Can this Gimbal be used with DJI Action 4? If so any additional accessories needed? Thank you, and love your channel!

@OttoJulian_ 11 месяцев назад

I did try the Gopro and it works. I can't remember if I tried using the Action 4, I can try again, but I don't think it will have issues. It would be better to use with the case that comes with the A4, and hohem provides an accessory to get the camera a bit higher for balancing purposes. With the case you might not need that.

@deilsoncso Год назад

If you're doing a review for anyone who wants to use this for vloggin, you're doing it right, congratulations. But for anyone working as a videomaker or filmmaker, something EXTREMELY important is missing for anyone who won't be recording themselves. How to enable face tracking for other people? are you behind the gimbal so you have to keep asking people every time to make the gesture to activate face tracking? this is kind of ridiculous if that's the case, there should be an option to do this for those who are going to record events or other things where you can't keep asking people to move their hand to activate face tracking.

@OttoJulian_ Год назад

Hi. I didn’t think about events because this would not be the gimbal I’d use for that, mainly due to max payload and therefore lens selection limitation. But you are right in that regard, it would be impossible to ask someone to do the gesture in those situations. I’ll make sure to talk about this too on upcoming videos. On the other hand, I wouldn’t call this a sensor just for vlogging. There are plenty of applications such as portrait shooting or B Roll of a person where the tracking can used by simply asking the person to activate the sensor. I have found this to get non professional models more involved and losen up when I show them how the sensor works and tracks them. Thanks for your feedback!

@panayiotispanayides2141 Год назад

Hi Great videos very informative. I have a question, it's all well and good to start the tracking with the OK symbol, but you still have to go to there camera and start recording, unless you have started it before you make the gesture. Am I missing something here??

@OttoJulian_ Год назад

that is correct, the tracking can be started using the gesture, but not the camera. For some cameras you can buy a remote control, some cameras also support the use of an app. Personally I never thought about this and I just press record and go back to my intended position.

@diegocaracasfc Год назад

Otto, great video! Do you think this gimbal support the sony A7C II and thr Lumix S5 IIx with regulares lenses?

@TheShaunyboy67 Год назад

What if you want to track someone else other than yourself? And it isn't possible to get them to use the gesture controls, Eg: A Bride at a wedding ceremony?

@OttoJulian_ Год назад

the only way to track that person is by using the standard tracking feature inside the smartphone app, but that means that you can't use any other kind of camera for that purpose and yes, it is the downside of this sensor

@Val3nt1no1 Год назад

Hi there great review Otto. Question does the M6 also have the app that remote controls it? Many Thanks

@OttoJulian_ Год назад

no, the M6 only has the regular smartphone app

@jeidmann Месяц назад

I wish it could track from farther than 9 meters!

@raczyk Год назад

whats better mt2 or Hohem iSteady M6 ?

@OttoJulian_ Год назад

I'd say that they are almost identical, the difference is that the MT2 can hold heavier cameras and has the mechanism to hold different cameras. The M6 can only hold smartphones. If you are going to use ONLY your smartphone I'd suggest the M6

hello Otto, it's common that the gimbal make loud noises when the IA is tracking you? even in the video i was filming you can heard the noises.

@OttoJulian_ Год назад

is this a sound that you can hear with or without the AI doing the tracking? The Sensor should not be making ANY noise at all. I can think of the motors making some kind of noise but that isn't normal either

No, the sensor won’t track objects. You can use the app to track but that means that you need to use your phone. Any other type of camera won’t be able to do it

I still haven't been able to test it but I will update any information on an upcoming video using this gimbal. Also, I read that you are using your lens extended, have you tried not extending it (just for testing purposes?)

@princearthur4946 Год назад

Bought it and returned it within two days back to Amazon. Not user friendly at all. Very complex to balance any type of camera. Too much time needed just to prepare the gimbal for a basic shot. I have come to realization that such gadgets as gimbals, are not needed at all for any type of video production.

@OttoJulian_ Год назад

I'm sorry that you had a bad experience, but I have to say that based on your comment, you just had to spend some time to learn how to balance and use this (or any) gimbal. Once it's balanced you can just pop the camera in and out without having to rebalance if you are using the same camera. Anyway, honest question here: how do you make your shots stable during a video production without a gimbal or anything similar to it?

@tac-tote 7 месяцев назад

@@OttoJulian_ Great video. Based on this persons comment I feel compelled to post this little tidbit that I've discovered. I am new to gimbals and not in any way a photographer. I set up my MT2 gimbal with my newly purchased GoPro 12 and immediately experience what I thought was a problem with the gimbal. It was vibrating intermittently with some small movements, particularly in the vertical, and would error out after a short period of time. When all of axis were unlocked and I moved the camera around everything looked like it was balanced perfectly. I set it aside to wait for my new iPhone to arrive as my iPhone 7 (yep) couldn't handle the Hohem app. (My amateur brain thought that maybe the gimbal needed the app to be running in order to prevent this vibration) When I got my phone I broke out the MT2 again and set it up and it worked flawlessly with the phone with not even a hint of vibration. This made me reevaluate exactly how I was using the GoPro and how I was mounting it. That was the issue. My "common sense" told me that I could simply mount the GoPro camera directly to the mounting plate and then slide the plate into the gimbals rail instead of installing the provided GoPro mount onto the plate and then attaching the GoPro to it. Once I mounted the GoPro using the correct hardware it raised the camera up 2" higher from the gimbals horizontal arm and all vibration issues went away and the gimbal now works flawlessly with both the iPhone and the GoPro. Hope this may help someone out cause I sure could have used a video that revealed this little tidbit.
