One of the best explainer videos I've seen . It was clear right from the beginning both verbally and visually . I watched it again the next day and just breezed through the video. He should give a class on how to make explainer videos
Hello there. Thanks for the kind words. I put a lot of effort in these videos and glad it comes across. Please subscribe to the channel and join my communitu. Ciao
Thank you 🙏. This is my first gimbal and I have tried other videos that don't start from the very beginning. I appreciate you not expecting your viewer to know how to balance the phone no matter how self explanatory one might think it is. I'm glad I found you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this so detailed. For those of us who don't know anything about any of it, I really need someone willing to speak on a very basic level.
The balancing parts was KEY for me as you showed me how to actually balance the gimbal properly. THANK YOU, will definitely be doing that on my gimbal.
I'm surprised how a Tech RU-vidr is using an Android Phone to demonstrate a camera accessory, while the whole world revolves around iOS. Appreciate it man. I got my hohem m6 yday & this video is helping me to learn to use it. Thanks for that. Love from India
Hello there. Thanks for the message. Glad you enjoyed the video. I have alsways used Android, I tried apple and didn't lime it and it is too expensive ahah. Subscribe for more. Ciao
Thank you so much. I have had this gimbal more than 6 months and couldnt use it because I couldnt even balance my phone. I had watched so many videos and none of them helped. So tonight I went back on youtube and went through even more videos looking at the cimments to see if people had been successful and when I saw your comments I played the video. Im still at very early stages but tonight I have managed with your video to balance my phone and calibrate the gimbal. I will be referringvti your video all the time now as I learn how to use it.
Thank you for putting this together. I searched for ages to find an explainer that I could follow and understand and yours made my start with the M6 really enjoyable. I'll watch it again and again to help me rember all the functions I have. Brilliant, you have a real skill in communicating clearly and concisly.
Thank you for the tutorial. This is my first real gimbal, I had a Smove for a hot minute before it went haywire. But this is on a whole other level. Very in-depth but not so much that it was overwhelming. Two thumbs up!
Thank you for this simple walkthrough. I have a much more robust Weebill 3 for Beastgrip Pro use with an anamorphic lens, but you have proven that this Hohem gimbal can be a wonderful alternative! I have had mine for a couple of weeks and it is by far the very best solution for portrait video. Thanks!
I suggest you change the thumbnail image of this video. I watched this last year and thought it was helpful, then I went back today to find it again and was searching for that one guy who was helpful and couldn't find your channel. The way it is now, it looks like a video for skaters who'd risk losing their phone by attaching it to the front of their board, not the great tutorial you prepared for everyone. I suggest a photo of you, the orange top would make this video immediately recognisable and it'd show it's for everyone, not a niche group only. Otherwise thank you for the video, it's really good
Hi there. Thanks for the message, much appreciated. My thumbnails are more based on the products rather than myself. I think that is what people are looking for, and not really me, except a few cases. And this one performs quite well judging by the views. ;) Just remember my name and subscribe ahah. Stay tuned
Up to this date I have always used DJI products (drones, Ronin, Mobile) but after doing a lot of research I decided to buy the M6 to use with my iPhone for a specific purpose. I came across your video and found it to be very helpful indeed and I must say that I am very impressed with this phone gimbal. I just wish there was a 'tone' when starting/stopping video recording but other than that I am looking forward to using this premium product from Hohem. Thank you for a very good tutorial....now to remember all the button clicks 😵💫
Hello there. Thanks for the message. I have been using sifferent brand for years now and I have to say they work really well, including hohem and zhiyun. Glad you enjoyed the video. Subscribe for more. Ciao
Thank you Mamo for your introduction to the use of Gimbal. Your explanation was so simple from beginning till end to follow. I will keep using your lessons as a reference in the future. Thank you once again.
Hilarious and one of the best videos showing off this gimbal. I appreciate this review from a filmmaking perspective rather than a vanilla gear review. Always great to come back to your channel. Thanks!
This is a great tutorial. I've had my iSteady M6 for about 4 days now and although it is nice and premium gimbal, I have mixed feelings about it. About 3 weeks ago I purchased the Aochuan Smart X Pro. It is my first gimbal. It is so easy to use. But when I heard about this Hohem, I thought let me buy it and return my Aochuan so that way I do not have upgrade later. I've been having some trouble with it in portrait/vertical position. I feel I am not getting the full functionality of the 360 degrees. I have a very thin bumper case on my phone and I hate that I have to remove it for it to work perfectly. It does still work with my bumper case on but it is not 100% secured into the slots. I also have a wireless microphone that I use so I plug in the receiver into the USB-C charging port on my Samsung. In portrait/vertical position it does not work very well. I am able to get full use pretty much if it is in horizontal/landscape position. I do not like how I have to turn the phone holder in order to use it in horizontal/landscape position. For paying so much money for a top gimbal this is just a bit stupid to have to do that. On my Aochuan it is so easy to use and I just have to tap 2 buttons and the gimbal changes from horizontal to vertical position. The only thing the Aochuan cannot do is move 360 degrees. Not sure which one I will keep and which one I will return.
Let us know your choice. I also had issues when I bought their V2. I had to return it because of jitter problems, returning the phone back to center was always a problem, and the phone mount was way too tight for inserting my phone which almost caused me to drop the gimbal several times. I loved the AI sensor but it just wasn't ready for primetime IMHO.
Hi, super clear guide...until, i've seen so what this gimbal doesn't account for is that you can't actually attach an external lav mic anywhere to the gimbal. Feeling like I've just wasted my money :( Are there any kind of mics you recommend that will work with this? The actual mic area of the iPhone is covered by the gimbal :(
Thanks! Very helpful in learning to use. I decided to forgo the app- this gimbal works well without it. Only thing I can't do, that I wish I could, that can be done with app is changing A->B transit time. I should also note that without the app, only the shutter release function of the shutter button works (zoom does not).
Great tutorial. In the portrait mode the gimbal doesnt balance larger phone. The motor at the bottom doesn't let me balance my phone. I bought it though.
Thanks so much… This is a great video… Enjoying my new hohem! One thing is that the zoom does not seem to work… Do you know if the gimbal has to be in any certain mode in order for the zoom to work?
Hi there. This gimbal is not with me any longer so I might be able to make such a video in the futuree, perhaps. Thanks for the suggestion. Be creative 😉
New subscriber here! Great tutorial. Hohem does not provide good instructions, so thank you. How do you recommend adding an external microphone? I have a sennheiser mke 200 mini shotgun. Can it be attached on the side of the handle where there is a place to screw something in….its right above the usb charging port. But to control audio this can’t be done in the Hohem app correct? I’d need filmic pro app or something similar?
Hello Mamo, thank you for your detailed test report. What I notice with my M6 gimbal is that I can hear the motor noise from the gimbal on the shots. Is this normal? With your recordings I have at least not noticed it. Did you use an external microphone?
Hello there. Glad you enjoyed the video. I haven't used an external microphone and I could not hear the motors while I was filming. Hope it helps. Subscribe and join my community. Ciao
Watched your other video that helped so searched your channel for my specific gimbal and found it in this video. QUESTION in the AI tracking mine keeps cutting off the top of my head. I noticed when you turned on AI tracking it appeared to do the same to you. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you for your help. I have subscribed.
Hello there. Thanks for subscribing. About the tracking, yes, there is a way to re adjust the framing but to be honest I do not remember the process as I do not have this gimbal any longet, sorry. You better send an email to the brand
@@MamoAir, I saw Luke and Phillip both use DJIA3, GP10, and Insta360 action cams. Since you do fast action, probably need to secure it down with a velcro strap. And since the AI module is attached to the phone clamp and you can use hand gesture, these action cams or small cams can still be used. I also have a metal frame shape of a phone that can add on action cams to mimic a smartphone and be used as if on on this gimbal but adds more weight. The 1/4” female screws can use used as counterweights in the above use cases to balance the gimbal. Will you do a comparison review with the new release of the Insta360 Flow gimbal with this one?
Hi Adam, thanks for the comment, I usually use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit all the material from any device I use for filming. If you need it, I have created a full beginner course which you can find on my website at mamoair.com/courses. Hope it helps. Ciao
I think I need to watch 12 more of these videos because it’s not clear what balance looks like. My screen is telling me information and the thing is beeping.
Thank you! I like the gimbal with all the possibilities! :-) I have a question: I use a Samsung S23 Ultra. When I use it (video) the footage is very smooth. With the gimbal the footage is a little jerky; it look likes the S23 doesn't use the stabilization. Or the gimbal is doing strange things. Have you heard of this problem? Thanks! Regards, Willem
I don't know if I should get this with or without an AI sensor because, in my country, without an AI sensor, it's $50 cheaper. Which one do you think I should get?🤔
Hello, thanks for the comment. I think the sensor can be useful for certain self shooting instances. But that is up to you. Subscribe and join my community, ciao
Great video! I'm on the fence because I want to use this gimbal on the go while travelling. Do you have to balance it each time you use it? I'll mostly be using it in Vertical. Thanks!
Great. Glad I could help. If youbdo not touch the gimbal yiu do not have to balance it everytime. But if you change camera etc...yes, it is recommended. Subscribe and join my community. Ciao
Really helpful video. Does anyone know why the zoom is not working on my iphone 14? I am in PTF mode but when i use the orange zoom lever, nothing happens ?!
He's probably either looking at an external monitor or reading from a script or list showing the buttons and how many times you have to press each for the different functions.
I was only got mine today and experiencing an overheat problem constantly . What can cause that ? I have the latest firmware on and everything so shouldn't be any problem and brand new from the home site So what should do ?
Look up on YT. A dude did just this with a DJI action cam and the AI sensor can be used to track. I placed my order yesterday specifically because it can hold a GoPro/Action Cam.
Hi! I can't find any information anywhere, is it possible to simultaneously charge the gimbal while charging the smartphone via the gimbal? Do you know if such a feature is available here?
I'm on my second m6 in a week span!! They both have an issue with the lock button, it will not stay in the unlocked position. On it rotates a full 360 it automatically locks back. Any suggestions?
Thanks for watching. You can use a gimbal for as long as you want, but technology progresses too so you might want to upgrade one day. Subscribe for more and join my community. Ciao
Hello there. Thanks for checking the video. To answer your question, in sport mode the pan and tult axis still move but react faster than normal mode. In Lock mode no axis are moving and the camera will keep facing the original direction. Hope it helps. Subscribe and join my community. Ciao
Hello. Thanks for the comment. In terms of gimbals, it depends what you are looking for. For bigger cameras I like the zhiyun crane 4. For smaller cameras, action cameras and smarphones I enjoyed the Hohem MT2. Hope this helps. Subscribe for more and join my community
Hi! I am actually considering to buy Hohem iSteady M6 but I would like to check if I can still use the gimbal features (like the pan, inception etc) if I am using the native camera app of the phone. I am using Samsung S23 and the frame rate has options for 60 and 120 but I noted that in the Hohem Joy app it only showed 24 and 30 frames. Thank you!
@@MamoAir Thanks. I also want to mention that today I mounted the phone without unlocking the roll axis but thr gimbal was switched off. Before switching on the gimbal I unlocked the roll axis though. Would this damage the gimbal?
Great, that does not damage the gimbal. As long as the gimbal is off you can do whatever you want. The damage occurs when the phone is not properly balanced or when you turn on the gimbal with the locked axis.@@ananthrao3180
