Yes, you got some clean footage with S21 Ultra this video and gimbal came in right as I was thinking of using my OnePlus 8 Pro as my main shooter for my RU-vid videos this year. Appreciate you sir keep up the great content
Would love that. I think a lot of people are too intimidated to start creating content because they think they need a lot of expensive equipment. Knowing what can be done with a phone would be amazing.
What about when you video football games. Does it zoom also? I have never used one. I thought about getting a camera, but I love the galaxy s21 ultra camera.
It can hold a phone and a lens like the moment anamorphic lenses but nothing too heavy like the moment wide angle. You can mount the rode microphone on the bottom with a 1/4 20 extension bracket.
Hi Jon. Do you still consider this as the best gimbal for s21 ultra ? or do you have any recommendation since there's a lot of gimbal being release this year? appreciate your review on this product
Well the reviews for Hohem Gimbal app on the android play store give it such bad reviews that I would not recommend or use this product. It appears to be a 1 or zero star product
I heard from another RU-vid review, that this Gimbal does not handle the S21 Ultra's weight well and wobbles when picked up. Is it true? Your response will be help make the decision to purchase this. Also another question. Does this support Panning Time lapse and similar options via the app?
It's very true. With a thin cover on my s21 ultra, I tried putting it into portrait mode and it just went into constant vibration as it wasn't able to put up with the weight. I'll be returning this unfortunately and I'm going to try the DJI osmo 4
I spent over 2,000 hours looking at the internet on RU-vid and web just to find something that would allow me to do auto tracking and native camera app. And I'm positive that was your huge demand but it's funny how there's only one of these on market that includes a gibal with it.
Does this Gimbal really handle the Samsung S21 Ultra weight? When you are walking, talking, and on the move.? I have tried the Zhayiun Smooth 4 (needed extra weights for it to balance) and Feyutech G6 Max (Glitch problems).
I ordered teh Zhiyunn Smooth 4 and wasn't that pleased. My S21 was to heavy for it so it wouldn't balance right. I also had issues getting it to pan the way I wanted. I am going to return it and try this one out.
@@melaniehillermann4977 I did. I like it better for what I use it for. I think if you are trying to make pro movies the zhiyunn's have better features but the Hohem is smaller, lighters, and I like the hand gestures and face tracking that it does.
Unrelated but have you tried an external mic with it? I have a RODE that I tried but it has a minor hiss on the bg (unlike when I plug it to my action cam) I think it's the USB C to 3.5 that causes it, not sure though, also tried connecting a low budget lapel and it does the same, yet again, on my action cam it's way better. Any suggestions?
So great video! If we want to shoot 4k at 60fps or at least full hd 60fps? We do the slow motion shots at 40% in 60fps...Can we still use it as gimbal without software with the native camera? This is for samsung s21 ultra. I have had luck with osmo mobile 3 with this phone NOT using dji mobile app... just using the regular camera app. mode to shoot 4k 60fps. Many thanks in advance!
Probably an ignorant question but it's never stopped me before. I was thinking about purchasing a GoPro or similar for my job. It would be for social media and RU-vid. After seeing this video, I don't know that I could justify it. Can you, or anyone, give me a reason not to get this gimble over a stand alone camera system? TIA
Real quick so I have the pivo and yes I really got to use the app but it does move really fast does this device move at a faster speed love how you can use your own cameras especially if you want to record in 8K
I haven’t used the Pivo before but this one can be adjusted to move faster within the app. Since it is a gimbal as well it probably won’t be as fast as the Pivo but from my usage it works really well and tracks crazy good. Personally, I think this might be a little bit better for most people since it has the tracking capabilities as the Pivo but doesn’t require an app. Plus, it doubles as a gimbal and from what I can see it’s about $50 cheaper.
@@OT4Tech right I did purchase the pivo when it was on sale but I'm thinking about getting this one just because you can still track without using an app and you can hold it in your hand to get those dramatic shots b-rolls with pivo it's a little different please do more videos using this like a tips and tricks that would be awesome
@@OT4Tech that would be so great bro again I just bought this item for $110 thanks to your code and I had like a $5 off from Amazon so again thank you so much shorts are going to be fantastic
Thank you so much for this review. I just ordered one for my S21 ultra. I have many gimbal, but this one seems to surpass them all. I wish it had a selfie stick extension and that would make this truly an all in one...and multi functional. I can't wait to try it out!!
@@ajanni2009 in order for it to handle the weight of my phone, I had to remove the case. The s21 is too heavy with the case for this gimbal to properly work and rotate.
@TSR I used it again today and left my case on. I made sure to center my phone in the middle and it worked great with my phone case on...I just love this gimbal!!
Impressive and way beyond me. No wonder the sales guy was surprised when I bought S21 ultra. I’ll have to keep studying your videos. Thanks for your videos.
A few teething issues with the software at first, but overall, a very good experience with some very good shots. My favourite being the time lapse panning 🙂
Thanks for your review 👍🏻 It seems it is the best gimbal for S21 Ultra in the market. Did you face any issue with power button in S21 Ultra and the mount when you tried to balance it? Hope to make app features comparison between Apple and Android. Thanks alot again 🌹
I came to the comments looking for this. I just ordered mine, because so far it seems like the best gimble in the market for the S21 Ultra. I hope he answers your questions. Also I have a very thin plastic casing on the phone. Wondering if I will need to remove it. Ugh.
@@peterdodsworth I have it now, but I don't think it's worth it. The phone, (even without a case) is still too heavy for normal operation. I am completely convinced now that so far, (to my knowledge) there is no right one for s21 ultra. Do not spend your money on this.
Jon, am I correct in assuming that Moment Mode is only accessible through the app? You can't use Moment mode with the s21's native cam app like you could with the AI tracking?
You can replicate some of the movements like the inception mode by adjusting the gimbal setting if you want to use the native camera. You’ll have to experiment with moment mode inside of the app to find out how those shots are performed and adjust the settings on the gimbal to perform those same movements with the native app.
Just got this gimbal. I tested timelapse but after some seconds "saving video failed" info pops up. S21 ultra as Phone. Any idea how to solve this? Also how can you power upp phone as power button is under top of AI unit...
The OM4 is great. DJI definitely has a more robust app but the fact that an app isn’t needed with the isteady makes it so much better IMO. The tracking is also much better than DJI because of the AI sensor. The biggest advantage of the OM4 is the magnetic attachment and slightly stronger motors (which more than likely won’t make a difference).
You don’t need to use the app, I don’t understand. I clearly stated that in the video multiple times and even showed an 8K example using the stock camera app.
@@muhammadumair2720 blame Samsung. The do not allow 3rd party companies to use their full feature sets on their flagship phones which is why Gimbals are lacking functionality. I myself only buy Samsung but i am very sad that samsung does this to their customers on purpose
@@OT4Tech yes but is not supported like dji for example for extra features. Still you sold me on the tracking part without needing an app so I am going to try it. Thanks!
Would these hold the s21 Ultra with a case without concern? I bought the DJI OM4 but think I'll return it because I'm not mounting a magnet or using my phone with no case
I am having the exact same problem. This seems like the only gimbal that will probably work for the ultra. Not sure if it will work with a case on it though? Let me know if you find something out👍
So far I have really enjoyed watching your reviews of tech products, although I have only watched a few. I have 2 questions about the Gimbal. 1 - I use a Otter box cell phone case for s21 Ultra due to me always being out on a disc golf course. Will I be able to fit the phone with the otter box case into the Gimbal or will I need to remove the case prior to using the gimbal? 2 - as mentioned I am a disc golfer and would like to set something up so I can record my Drives off the Tee pad to help me look at my form to learn and study my form to better my Tee shots. Is the tripod good enough to stand up and not fall over on terrain that isn't so flat? Much like a dirt walking path that has uneven surfaces. I am pretty sure hill sides are out of the question for self balancing. But the areas around most Tee pads for disc golf are usually made as flat as can be seeing how most Tee pads are concrete and the area had to be graded down in order to form the Tee pad itself.
Thanks Amigo. I have the Samsung S21 ultra and I've been trying to find compatible gimbals. I really wanted the DJI OM4, but I couldn't find any substantial information that it was compatible. This video helped my make my decision for this gimbal. You do a good job with your reviews.
Great Video. Seems like you just Freestyling the Commentary. Good job on that. Its not easy to do. I seen few other Videos on this Gimbal but they didn't mention the AI Camera only the Light. Seems like a Very Good product
It looks like the dji 4 doesn't work well... but I'm not sure. I ordered this one here and will arrive on thursday. Will def check it out and will try and review
How can I ask you about self taping an audition? I just bought the latest Samsung Ultra after being at a Military Ceremony, and it's awesome, but I've been with an iPhone forever so the change is challenging and confusing. I would love to pay you to help me. So many questions, this camera is amazing but I need help. These tutorials are helpful but not enough time. I am an actress and have different needs than your tutorials.
