Now I understand why, some weeks ago in a comment, you suggested me to wait a while before to buy a gimbal. Thank you very much! Great gimbal and great review as always!
New subscriber here. I'm absolutely blown away by the quality of your reviews. You answered every SINGLE question I could've possibly had about this gimbal and more. Gonna buy one now.
As far as adding a microphone to the OM6, i believe it can be done before adjusting for balance, then it will function properly. I have this gimble but haven't tried it yet, but it does include a charging cable, so it makes sense if you're not using the included phone charging cable; you should be able to use a microphone dongle.
Thanks for this very thorough review of Hohem’s new gimbal. It really plant’s their flag on the top of gimbal mountain and gives other makers something to chase. The extra payload, screen, and multiple functions makes this a super smart choice for smartphone users. I have only one word for Hohem’s designers. For iPhone users… think MagSafe for gimbal connection to the phone.
Thankyou very much for sharing your knowledge on all three products very helpful. I was just going to buy the smooth 5s a couple hours ago before work I am so glad I waited and saw your video.
It certainly is an impressive gimbal. I had the Hohem iSteady X before "upgrading" to the OM 6, I'm on Android and the Mimo app as far as I'm concerned is just trash and I do regret buying it sometimes. BUT I do really like the way the phone attaches to the OM 6 and that I don't have to balance it at all. The selfie stick too I find really useful but I just wish it could do crane shots. If the OM 6 could do crane shots and had a decent app it would be a perfect gimbal as far as I'm concerned. But if Hohem had the stick and didn't need balancing it would win that fight.
Another very helpful video Simon. Your closing comment about not being able to connect an external microphone caught my eye. I did see another YT video showing a microphone transmitter attached and it appeared to be working well, but I wonder whether this practice might place excessive burden on a motor. Comments?
Hello. I love how well you explain everything and this video is no exception; I have a question, do: since iphone 15 pro max is out, I use a ssd and a mic to shoot my videos; is there a easy way to accommodate these extras in the hohem isteady M6? Thank you.
Although the M6 is a very impressive gimbal with all the extra bells and whistles, I’m not a big fan of having to manually/physically change my phone from pan to portrait, THEN, rebalance it. I guess this is why I’ll just stick to my DJI Osmo 6. I’m also a big fan of the magnet the Osmo 6 utilizes for those quick removal/reattach moments. Great video of all three gimbals, my man. 🍻
Hi Simon. Re the AB motion you said to reset it, hold it down again. When you do that, is there another sound? It seems that after a minute or so, it will to try to go back to point A again. What is the right way to cancel the AB motion? Thanks!
Cheers so much the perfect run through and your right such a great design and didn't know inception mode existed plus there was a controller as I'll have to double check the other reviewers if they mention these things 😊❤
10:55 Super excited about this feature. The other feature I've been wanting is a 'loose follow' which would allow for a more natural movement within the frame without adjusting so readily. What I've been doing with the Go is to turn off the follow, adjust myself in the shot and then enable follow, move to the new location, etc. It is super convenient to use it that way on a tripod.
Initially, I intended to purchase the M6 due to its exceptional functionality. However, I ultimately decided to go for the OM6 as I was particularly fond of its lightweight build and magnetic suction design. Moreover, it proved to be a more cost-effective option, especially since I purchased it from Amazon Warehouse at a discount of around 40% off the original price. Needless to say, it was a highly worthwhile investment.
OM 6 is waste of money. It has the tilt angle limited. You can't do fly through or torch mode with osmo mobile gimbals except osmo mobile 2. When you try to shoot a crain shot the limited tilt angle restrict you from positioning the mobile phone. You may see the ground in that position. Better you go for smooth 5.
@@homemadetastesandtips6525 I agree that OM6 may have some limitations when it comes to certain shooting angles, but ultimately, it depends on individual shooting preferences. Just because there are some angles that can't be captured doesn't mean that the stabilizer is unusable. In fact, if needed, I can even mount my iPhone onto a DJI RSC2 and use a monopod to shoot with virtually no limitations, except for the lack of a stabilizer's shooting button. Overall, the main selling point of OM6 is its portability and convenience, which is why I ultimately decided to purchase it. While it may be true that OM6 has some limitations compared to other stabilizers like the M6 or Smooth 5, I believe that it ultimately comes down to the user's needs and preferences. What may be a limitation for one user may not be an issue for another. Therefore, it's important to consider all factors and determine which stabilizer best suits your specific needs.
Now I see why you posted the teaser last week. In a future version you can demo the use of accessories and resulting impact on balance: lens, filter, microphone.
For those you mention at 16:05, I did see a reviewer mount a wireless mic receiver on charging port, and you could also fit an L-adaptor between the port and the gimbal body. It shifts the phone slightly, but you should be able to balance it.
That last point you mentioned about not being able to plug in an external mic seems significant. Is there any way around that? Would you have to use a wireless mic then?
Decent effort but as you said no way to attach a Rode mike ( unless you can mount the phone and additional lens in reverse) why can’t they have an interchangeable male plug ( IOS/Android) on the motor housing that fits like the scroll wheel on a DJI pocket and the wire running through the motor housing 🤷♂️ I hate syncing audio in post, its never bang on
Thanks for your excellent content. It's been very helpful :). How can I connect the Rodes Wireless Pro microphone receiver and the Rode Videomicro II to my Iphone when it's being held by the Hohem iSteady M6? They both use a cable connection...
Watched until the end and got one more question. You mentioned mic port is not accessible. Wouldn't it be possible to just place the phone the other way around so that the USB port is open? Please advise as it is very important for me personally. I was planning to use it with wireless mic that requires plugging the receiver in.
The bigger tilt axis is a big advantage compared to the OM6. I didn't notice that the tilt axis restriction of the OM6 before buying it. Not being able to do a forward facing crane shot is a bummer
Thanks for a great video. One quick question, if I want to use motion tracking feature of gimbal with a teleprompter app like Bigvu, then I guess only Hohem M6 will work, since it can do that without the app, right? I think other gimbals in your comparison require using their own apps so I can't use them in conjunction with Bigvu. I'm on Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra if it matters...
Interesting... I just learned about this gimbal and have ordered it from Amazon. I was surprised to hear in your video that holding the trigger doesn't do what most gimbals do... on every other gimbal I've used, holding the trigger locks the camera position so that you can move around without changing the framing. Is this an option here?? If not, I'm afraid the gimbal will have to go back as I use this feature a ton in my work. What a shame...
I'm glad I stumbled across your video! I had the OM3 and now I have the s22 ultra it's just too heavy. I eventually was thinking about trying adding extra lenses etc but I know the OM3 can't hold my phone now. I like the old style gimbal not the OM arm. I never heard of hohem until recently and it seems like the one I may get it.
How can you manage your s22u with an gimble? It s work with 30fps and many of the features like zoom aren t working so you use this gimble like a pro selfie stick, no?? I have an s23 and i m strugling with there gimbles
Shouldn't the wheel be supposed to move the tilt (up/down) instead of the roll axis?! FejyuTech G6Max has this and it could be great, the default direction just can't be reversed which makes it super annoying, too. But why fiddle with the horizon during a shot? How do you keep your subject in frame while performing a vertical movement with the M6, that nervous joystick?!
Can you activate tracking then using the hohem Bluetooth remote press up so it shows the sky then press down to pan down to you then move so the ai tracking picks you up
Oh so you also had micro movements on the smooth 5 ? First time I used it, all my footages were having these micro shacking, which is ridiculous for a gimbal. Basically almost each shot is unusable. Wasn't sure if that was just me who did it wrong or the gimbal being a bad gimbal. Haven't had a chance to use it since, but seeing your time lapse with all these micro shakings, i guess it's a 'feature'. Anyways. This new model looks pretty cool.
This smart phone, Gimbal is stuffed with cool features that I would like to have on other gimbals as well. Even if I don’t click on and off my smart phone from my OM4 that often, the self balancing function respectively the lack of it is the game changer for me. The manual balancing gimbals seem to be suitable for filmmaking projects, where the gimbal is in use for a longer time. Casual use, vlogging, travels seem to require the magnetic solution from DJI. As always, please merge the features and you get the ideal solution. Hohen, why not designing a gimbal with automatic calibration that is lacking support for heavier smart phones with lenses et cetera?
I have bought the DJI OSMO 6 due to being a complete novice to videography. My needs are to take videos of my 18 months travel around SE Asia eventually ending up in Australia for the Boxing Day test and New Year test at Sydney. All I wanted was to capture the scenery and not selfies. Then post on a RUclips channel so my friends can see where I am. I understand that this has limitations compared to other gimbals but I am a beginner and have to weigh up costs. Maybe if I do get more experience I can upgrade to a better gimbal. I have been given a GoPro Hero 4 to take with me and have a DJI mini 4 k drone and a tripod. I think that’s all someone like me needs to at least get decent videos. My phone is an iPhone 16 ProMax and I will be using either a MacBook Air 2017 model and an IPad Air 12.9 to try and edit on iMovie. Again complete novice and will rely on RUclips tutorials to help me as I’ve never edited a single thing. Thanks for the channel it does help idiots like me at 60 who should know better.😎👍
Was the smooth timelapse movement due to using the native app and benefitting from software stabiliziation as well? If so, it wasn't really a fair test was it?
@@SiHorrocks So you are confident in saying that the gimbal would perform like that with software stabilization turned off in a pro app? If so, very impressive. If they could get the focus wheel to work with pro apps, this would be the perfect gimbal.
Another awesome review! Question, since I'm using Samsung S23 Ultra, and the Hohem App doesn't allow 60 FPS, I'm planning to rely on my native video app to do the shooting. If that's the case, am i losing out a lot by not using the Hohem App?
Hello! 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?
Can the "follow tracking" on a gimbal be turned off please. I want to film what I'm pointing my phone at as if the phone is welded to the gimble, but keeping stabilization active. Thanks.
Thanks for the review, Simon. Looks like a great bit of kit! Quick question, can you use the gimbal to track an object as opposed to tracking yourself? i.e. draw a box around an object and as you move around the gimbal will keep locked onto the object.
This video was very helpful to me! Well done! I need your help. I am an interior designer and I would like to buy a gimbal to make videos of my projects with my phone. which gimbal die do you recommend: hohem m6 or zhiyun smooth 5? thanks so much for the help
Between this and insta360 which one is better? this one has a and b feature but ai tracking needs combo light package. Also insta looks smaller when packing.
Hello, can the isteady m6 carry the weight of moment anarmophic and vnd, if you load it up with this together with an iphone 12pro can you shift the phone to connect a much without a need for counter weight
Can the USBC to USBC angled cable connect to a converter, then to a USB for the microphone? Just wondering if someone has tried that. All great information in the video, thank you!
Hi Simon I noticed you were using a Samsung Note 20 Ultra with the M6. I have the same setup but can not get the focus to work with the Hohem Joy App. Does the the focus with the Hohem Joy work for you with the Note 20 Ultra?. It does not work through phone screen or with the wheel for me. When I try to adjust it the focus jumps suddenly to way out of focus and can not be brought back.
@@SiHorrocks thanks for the reply. I don't know what I could be doing wrong or if there is a setting I am missing. Or possibly the phone firmware version... Will keep trying. By the way your videos are very helpful.
@@SiHorrocks yes. Just tested again with just the app. I can change the focus with the screen. But it jumps back to autofocus and ignore the setting I selected with the slider. So is there a way to tell it stay on manual focus? I am feeling this is operator error most likely!
@@hfschwing all I did was connect and move the wheel. It does sound like your Samsung is overriding the app controls. Do you have Exynos or Snapdragon? I have Exynos
Can you comment on the weight on M6 vs smooth 5? I do a lot of low angle shooting and thus I hold gimbals mostly in flashlight mode. So weight is a very big factor to me due to the way I hold my gimbals. Thanks!
I have the smooth 5. Should I return it and get this? I have an iPhone 13th max and I also use an ND filter on top of a CPL filter , Can it handle that all together?

I have the smooth 5s should I switch to the new isteady m6 I have a s22 ultra and want to use my native camera app 🤔
Now I understand why, some weeks ago in a comment, you suggested me to wait a while before to buy a gimbal. Thank you very much!
Great gimbal and great review as always!
New subscriber here. I'm absolutely blown away by the quality of your reviews. You answered every SINGLE question I could've possibly had about this gimbal and more. Gonna buy one now.
I saw this yesterday and bought one STRAIGHT away. did some test shooting with the A>B mode and LOVING IT! thank you so much for your awesome conten!
I have the Hohem iSteady M6.& I use it with my Galaxy S23 Ultra, the Hohem Joy app allows me to record in 4k at 60fps.
That is a nice gimbal! The A to B panning is really cool, and I like that you can zoom without changing modes.
It really is!
As far as adding a microphone to the OM6, i believe it can be done before adjusting for balance, then it will function properly.

Glad it was helpful!
Me too.
That's a lot of functions to remember just in that side wheel alone. It is smartly done. But yes that last point you touched on, mic placement...
It certainly is an impressive gimbal. I had the Hohem iSteady X before "upgrading" to the OM 6, I'm on Android and the Mimo app as far as I'm concerned is just trash and I do regret buying it sometimes.

I did see another YT video showing a microphone transmitter attached and it appeared to be working well, but I wonder whether this practice might place excessive burden on a motor. Comments?

Did you buy it?
Hi simon, are you going to get the s23 ultra? since the camera is apparently better for fliming , it would be nice to see your views on that
Not convinced it's better than my Note20 Ultra so I'll probably stick with this. Unfortunately, I can't afford £1250 for a phone I don't really need
@@SiHorrocks I get that. I still use my note 20U as well. Don't feel the need to replace it just yet. And yes, a very steep price indeed.

Does anyone know if it is possible to add a DJI Mic2 Receiver on the phone and still have freedom of movement on the M6 or the Smooth?
thanks for this good video. Can I ask - do you have any suggestions for an ND filter you like for Samsung S21 U please?
Excelente video. Ojalá algún día hagas los subtítulos en español por que mi inglés es malísimo 😅. Congrats 👏
Is there a function for the M6 to change between different lenses on a S23 Ultra?
This video was very helpful to me! Well done! I need your help. I am an interior designer and I would like to buy a gimbal to make videos of my projects with my phone. which gimbal die do you recommend: hohem m6 or zhiyun smooth 5? thanks so much for the help
m6
@@SiHorrocksthank you😊
I want to use my DJI wireless mic. Will the gimbal balance with the receiver plugged into my phone.
Between this and insta360 which one is better? this one has a and b feature but ai tracking needs combo light package. Also insta looks smaller when packing.
Can I asked which camera lens you’re using in video , I have seen few you got some kinda a lens on , can I know the name or details thanks
the Freewell 1.55x >> ruclips.net/video/eco4kBZhsp8/видео.html
So cool, just wish they manufactured in white also
thanks for the nice video
No tilt mode?
If you mean tilt-only mode, then no.
Hello, can the isteady m6 carry the weight of moment anarmophic and vnd, if you load it up with this together with an iphone 12pro can you shift the phone to connect a much without a need for counter weight
How you will use Filmic pro with Hohem M6?
Any advice on stopping auto focus..i cant seem to stop it doing jerky auto focusing...😢
Why it happens when we are on lock mode in hohem m6, the gimble little bit pan? Kindly suggest if any solution for that
Thnaks for the nice Video. Do i have to pay something for the use of the Hohem Joy App ?
No everything is free, as far as I know
Great video!!!! Can the A to B loop?
Unfortunately not
Can we use dji action4 with hohem m6 ??
Can the USBC to USBC angled cable connect to a converter, then to a USB for the microphone? Just wondering if someone has tried that.
All great information in the video, thank you!
Does this gimbal work with filmic pro app?
Will the DJI mic work with this gimbal?

I research for tutorials for dji osmo se
And I can't find anything 😕 , could you do it...
If u may ....
Thanks
Hi Simon I noticed you were using a Samsung Note 20 Ultra with the M6. I have the same setup but can not get the focus to work with the Hohem Joy App. Does the the focus with the Hohem Joy work for you with the Note 20 Ultra?. It does not work through phone screen or with the wheel for me. When I try to adjust it the focus jumps suddenly to way out of focus and can not be brought back.
I just tested it and it works ok for me, via screen and wheel
@@SiHorrocks thanks for the reply. I don't know what I could be doing wrong or if there is a setting I am missing. Or possibly the phone firmware version... Will keep trying. By the way your videos are very helpful.
@@hfschwing thank you! you could also try contacting Hohem
@@SiHorrocks yes. Just tested again with just the app. I can change the focus with the screen. But it jumps back to autofocus and ignore the setting I selected with the slider. So is there a way to tell it stay on manual focus? I am feeling this is operator error most likely!
@@hfschwing all I did was connect and move the wheel. It does sound like your Samsung is overriding the app controls. Do you have Exynos or Snapdragon? I have Exynos
Do the following sensor also works with FilmicPro? Or must I use the hohem app?
the whole point of the AI sensor is it can be used with any app
Take my money!
Can you comment on the weight on M6 vs smooth 5? I do a lot of low angle shooting and thus I hold gimbals mostly in flashlight mode. So weight is a very big factor to me due to the way I hold my gimbals. Thanks!
does this have axis lock problem?
What does the "axis lock problem" mean?
@@IvoPavlik I mean can you lock the axis so it remains in a fixed position?
What is the diamater of the handle on the isteady m6?
I have the smooth 5. Should I return it and get this? I have an iPhone 13th max and I also use an ND filter on top of a CPL filter , Can it handle that all together?
thinking about the same thing.
M6 can carry 100g more and is very similar in design when it comes to balance, so yes it can carry phone, lens, case, filter same as Smooth 5
@@calinpana6930 I ended up returning my smooth 5 and got this m6 kit. Seems everything is just better with this one !
Hello, are there any restrictions for S23 Ultra with the Isteady M6?
M6 is comfortable to use during a travel?
