I think the reason for a phone gimbal is for it to be quick and easy to carry around, especially during a holiday trip. A compact one like DJI's seems the one I am going for.
Dji osmo is good only with i-phone. With S23 ultra is orrible. You can't register in 4k and the follow track doesn't run with s-23 ultra. I ve already bought the Isteady m6 and I really hope that it will truly run with s-23 ultra
@OttoJulian_ @vince_ago90 @taser290 after using DJI OM 6 for almost 6 months, I feel dissatisfied with "stabilisation". It is prone to tilt on its own when you move/walk/pan and very weird tilting as well, upward or downward. I am thinking of getting Hohem M6.
Dude what a great video, I have seen so many videos before deciding if I want to actually buy Hohem and somehow you explained the thing better than most review videos out there. Cheers, keep up the good work.
Hello greetings from Peru. Which one would you recommend me? Knowing that I will use it to record content for brands that must look as premium as possible. Also the most of the content I will record will be vertical 🙏🏼🙏🏼
hi, the M6 will have more flexibility with moving angles, and it looks more sophisticated than the OM6 due to the screen, big wheel, general size, etc.
I've never had a selfie stick or a gimbal before. I currently have a Note-9. But maybe upgrading to a 23 Ultra. I like the compactness on the DJI. I feel like it's a little less conspicuous while I'm learning how to use it. I wish that these companies would not restrict the features on the Android phones so much. Having said all that. I do like the hohem, but right now it seems a little too big and more difficult to carry around.
Hi. Agreed. Although these companies are not restricting the use of 60fps for example, it’s actually phone manufacturers like Samsung who restrict third party apps from accessing the camera full features
Hey, great review! Very detailed. I just want to add, with hohem most of the new phones have 4k 60fps, I have tested on Samsung A52, Samsung S20 FE, MI 11T Pro and MI 12 Pro
Hey there. Thanks for the info. You need to double check the S20 FE, I used a S21 and S22 + which is a newer phone and it doesn’t support 60 fps using their app
I'm waiting for the next version of the Hohem M6. The features I'm hoping Hohem will add are better support for Android phones, and also the ability to lock the tilt motor which i believe you cannot do on the M6.
Excellent Comparison that answered all my questions-because your review went into soo much relevant detail, I bought from your affiliate link. You are a great reviewer-and I hope to be as good in my fiture videos.
Great video. I have the OM6 and just ordered the Hohem M6. One thing that’s happening with my DJI OM6 is, it automatically switches to FAST FOLLOW and I have to keep resetting it back to Medium or Slow in the MIMO app every time!! Anyone else have this problem???
If you holiday maker amateur go for Osmo. If you techie and a little serious and shoot with iPhone and some heavy lenses and need to shoot on Filmic/Moment etc. than Hohem. Battery life, no need to run the gimbal app and the tracking and 360 are very valid points for me.
Well from your choice which will you recommend for tight budget users in 2024 and which will not outdate early or which will be more useful. And except these two more suggestion?
Will both do tracking of 360 degrees? I want to place the gimbal in a fixed position to have it record me doing a sport in fairly close proximity that would have only me to track but I would be moving all around the camera quickly. Is this possible? Thanks!
In terms of "packing", how small can Hohem M6 can be unfolded down? I use the Peak Design Everyday Sling 10L and DJI OM 6 can fit in a slot easily. If I can pack Hohem M6 into this bag, I am going to switch to that one.
mmm the OM6 remains to be my favorite one in terms of folded size. You can take a look at this video, around the first minute I show the contents of the box, and that's the M6 folded down. Spoiler: it doesn't fold down to a compact size: ruclips.net/video/39l9X3XcAzo/видео.html
Hi ... I want to go for DJI gimbal but I m using one plus 9rt. I think DJI is not compatible with one plus 9rt. I really need a good gimbal... need some suggestions for one plus 9rt.
If that phone has one of the latest Android versions it should work. All Android devices have some limitations when using the DJI app, but that will happen even if you buy the most expensive Samsung smartphone
Both are excellent if you don’t mind the limitations. They are just different in amount of features, portability, etc. I did cover all of them in the video
I am trying to get a gimbal and looking all over youtube for comparisons. Thanks for doing this! However as far as I know the Osmo mobile 6 will not let you do 4k 60fps if on android but only 4k 30fps, and the the point of buying it are not worth it for me. The same goes for Insta 360 flow. Can you confirm this?
Yeah these gimbals have the same limitation because most Android devices will just not work. There seems to be a few exceptions but it’s better to use the native camera app for 60fps
Congratulations on your channel, I have always liked the type of devices that you analyse. I have a question about the compatibility with the devices. I was planning to buy the DJI OM SE, but it is not clear to me if it would work properly with my device. I have a OnePlus Nord 2, which does not appear on the compatibility list for any of the gimbals, but the weight and dimensions are within the ranges established by the manufacturer. Do you know if it could work? If not, do you know of any other gimbal that could work? Thank you so much.
The design of the DJI and other gimbals like that one (Hohem also have these kind of models) are a bit more beginner friendly in my opinion, but suffer from a few limitations and yet they have some advantages. The Hohem is great if you need reliable tracking but the person being tracked needs to activate it (on the DJI the person using the gimbal can select the subject). It will all depend on what you will use it for and HOW you will use it
@@OttoJulian_ ohh, i see. i’m actually filming for 2 of my university’s dance teams, so i don’t think i need stuff as advanced as the m6. i ended up buying a dji, thanks for all the advice and helping me out, i’ve never met a creator who cares about their viewers as much as you :)
is there any update on the dji app that supports more android camera features, such as up to 8k, and use the gimbal buttons to control the native camera?
Do you record using the iPhone's native camera? Because when I record in the BlackMagic app and disable the iPhone's stabilization, to use only the Hohem Isteady M6's stabilization, the video is shaky. It only resolves when I turn on the iPhone's stabilization
Outside of RUclips I do. For these videos I try to do a bit of everything. I think they complement each other as the stabilization on these gimbals are not perfect if there the one on the phone is off, but I have tested both modes (handheld and gimbal with no stabilization on the phone) and the results are quite different. I showcased that on one of my recent videos.
Dear, I also use Fold4. What I want to know is "doesn't fit" means,, Exactly Fit or available fit. Even not Exact Fit, only can use for fold4, I want to try. Couse, hohem is only option for Heavy Android phone like Fold4. So, Do you think it is possible to use for Fold??
Can Hohem M6 function normal like capturing moving objects without that AI sensor? or in order to have object tracing we have to install the AE sensor. Thanks
I think the very first batch had some minor issues, but as far as I know they fixed them. No overheating at all, I have used it for many hours without a break
I’m thinking of buying a gimbal only to make some walking tour style videos with my iphone 14 pro from time to time. Which one would you suggest? Will om 6 be sufficient?
M6 will give you more freedom in your movements, specially for cars, but I like the OM6 for size, the magnetic clamp and other features mentioned in this video
Most phone gimbals have issues with the ultra-wide angle lens of smartphones: the gimbal arms are usually visible in the frame, does the hohem have this issue too? Secondly, can the Hohem do the jigsaw move for reveal shot? you know the move where we attach a monopod to the base of a gimbal and raise it up as high as possible to reveal a location? I know the DJI can't do that as it has to be held sideways(sucks) Lastly, what are the resolutions and frame rates the Hohem shoots at? you didn't mention all these in the video.
The phones I tried do not have a problem with ultra wide lens, but I only have 2 phones to test, iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S22 + I replied to you about this jigsaw reveal shot in the other video, you can do the movement with the M6, and the reason why you can't do it with the OM6 is because of the design limitation for tilting movements. You can watch my M6 video review, I believe the last section is about the app and supported frame rates.
Hi otto! Want to ask you please about poco x3 pro, do you know for sure, if it works with the gji 6 or with the hehem m6? I need to know for sure though..and if they have is substantial differences in weight because for the type of shooting I'm doing is about 4 hours shooting straight live show.. with one hand..(probably with additional Mike for the phone and lens on the gimble itself)..
none of these gimbals will have 8K inside their apps. You'd have to use your native camera app, which is not a problem to be honest, and well, both of these gimbals are good, OM6 is more portable and has an extension rod, easier to setup with the magnetic clip, the M6 has tracking sensor and it can support extra weight, and it has a few features that can be useful
Great review!! One issue i have with the m6 Wont stay unlocked!!!I'm on my second m6 in a week span with the same issue!! They have an issue with the lock button, it will not stay in the unlocked position. Once it rotates a full 360 it automatically locks back. Any suggestions?
@matt9789 thanks for replying. You need to contact Hohem, they will most likely send you a replacement. For now, what you can do is to avoid that problem is to pull it down and place something small enough to keep the lever down.
Otto, do you feel the zoom lever on the M6 works any smoother than the zoom slider on the Hohem Mobile + 2022, or the Hohem V6? Does the zoom always move slowly, or is the zoom speed variable depending on the pressure you use on the lever or slider? Can you program the zoom sensitivity in the Android app for any of these gimbals? Thanks for your to-the-point instructive videos! 😊
hello Dee, the zoom slider feels better than on those other gimbals that you mentioned, but it is not sensitive to the pressure applied, so either it zooms or it doesn't. As Phenom Dark said, you can customize the zoom speed inside the app
@@OttoJulian_ not really, I downloaded hohem app to check it out before buying anything and it allows to use camera without the device and it supports 1080p60, cant tell about 4k60 since my phone is 4k30 only.
Both are good, that's my honest opinion, and they are my favorite ones to use. When I travel by air I prefer to take the OM6 as it's more compact, if I don't have to fly then M6 most of the times. But now the new V3 from Hohem has been taking the DJI position when I need more convenience
@@OttoJulian_ Thanks a lot. I heard most of the iOS phone support 4k 60fps recording on the gimbals like Insta360 flow and the new flow pro but when it comes to android phone 4k 60fps support only on expensive phone. Is this not true? Sorry I am asking too many questions here but I really want to know because I am looking to grab one and just wanted to make sure I buy the right one.
Yeah. iPhones do allow full access to their camera unlike Android. My way to solve this is to use the native camera app to use 60fps. You lose some features when you shoot at that frame rate but it’s a matter of adapting
Hello! I just found your video & was so happy to find it! It is very helpful. I do have a question or maybe a request.. I am curious to know how you would compare or maybe rate from favorite to least favorite these 2 stabilizers/gimbals the DJIOsmoMobile 6, the Hohem iSteady M6 + the Zhiyun Smooth 5S, the Insta 360 Flow & the Aochuan Smart S2. They’re all relatively close in price & each has its own special pros as well as cons. I’m so conflicted on which one to get! I also looked at the Hohem iSteady Vs2 which is a lower price point but seems to be also a great stabilizer/gimbal, just maybe a little more basic or beginner friendly. My head is spinning looking at all the different brands & models out there. Originally I thought I’d found what I wanted but the more I started digging into some of the different models I found more pros & cons as well as realizing that I need to spend a bit more than I had originally planned for better Ulithi & features. Anyhow your video was so helpful so thank you. I would love to hear more about your thoughts on some comparative models. Thanks again!
sorry about the late reply. It's not an easy answer, and I don't know if you already made up your mind. I think my best advice is to watch the videos that I have for the smartphone gimbals that you mentioned, but bottom line, choosing one will depend on the phone that you have and also your shooting style. My favorites right now are the OM6, the Hohem M6 and maybe the insta360. I didn't test the Aochuan S2, and Smooth 5S was replaced by the M6 in my book for a few reasons. Hope this helps
the general answer is no, but there are a few (a few!) exceptions. OM6 has been reported to work at 60fps with google Pixel phone, but quality is not good for what I understand
These 2 are my favorites right now. I like the M6 for the tracking sensor, OLED screen, A to B buttons and also the range of movement. The OM6 for portability/size, the magnetic clamp and the app feels better.
Hello otto! Can we compatible dji osmo mobile 6 compatible with the OnePlus Nord series devices and please suggest me to buy good Gimbal for OnePlus device?
@@OttoJulian_ on DJI you are correct, on hohem, I can, maybe it wasn't at the time you tried them, but now I guarantee its possible for Hohem. Best thing is that I can use either hohem app or the phone app. Thats another + for hohem.
I'm experiencing a few stability issues with the Osmo mobile 6... he gets out of sync and it's hard to bring it back. Plus I've found that when on the go, the FPV mode is a bit more normal. And I'm using an iPhone 13 Pro Max with it.
@@OttoJulian_ it moves to a different direction, it gets locked on random people and then it's just leaving the subject and destroys the video. Sometimes it feels like the gimbal is tired... drifts and then doesn't want to come back. I was recently on a trip and it was a nightmare to work with it. The pocket 2 preformed better 🤷🏻♂️.
@@scottlee4664 guess I made the wrong choice! I use iPhone and wanted something with small form factor that tracks well. Didn’t want OM6. If it doesn’t work out I’ll send it back or sell it
@@flowyscreations insta 360flow is great for iPhone, that is not a bad choice at all, the app has almost everything supported, only limitation I see is tilt angle. if you can work around it with Flow, then Flow is perfect gimbal

Does the holding clamp interfere with the volume button, if it is placed in the middle of the mobile phone?
Yeah, the position of the buttons usually makes them tricky to access, this depends on which gimbal you choose and which phone you have

I bought Hohem isteady m6 kit and it's worked suprb.... It's not compact... It won't come in one pocket but other then that it's too good.

Hello. No, these are for smartphones. Search on my channel for the review of the Hohem MT2. That should work and very similar to the M6
Will Samsung Fold 4 fit in this gimbal? Thank you, compability is the only thing holding me back.
98% sure it doesn’t fit (too thick)
Dear, I also use Fold4. What I want to know is "doesn't fit" means,, Exactly Fit or available fit. Even not Exact Fit, only can use for fold4, I want to try. Couse, hohem is only option for Heavy Android phone like Fold4. So, Do you think it is possible to use for Fold??
Can Hohem M6 function normal like capturing moving objects without that AI sensor? or in order to have object tracing we have to install the AE sensor. Thanks
hi James, you can use the tracking feature inside their app just like other gimbals do. This will NOT need the AI sensor
Really useful review. Thank you so much.
You are welcome!
Is it possible to record 4k 50 or 60 fps with android?
you need to watch this video, it applies to both gimbals (Android stuff) ruclips.net/video/3w2UIFvOF7k/видео.html
In Hohem M6 you can connect External ssd if you're trying to shoot in Pro res log in iPhone 😢
are you talking about connecting the ssd to use with their app? if that's the case I haven't tried that
Realme GT 5FG work with Hohem? Thanks!
should work fine!
Perfect! congratulations! i will get a osmo 6
Good choice!
Ive heard there is a LOT of quality issues and failures with the Hohem. Have you has ANY issues? Over heating?
Where did you see about it? I was thinking of buying one
@@adm_marechal All over... just research the reviews..
I think the very first batch had some minor issues, but as far as I know they fixed them. No overheating at all, I have used it for many hours without a break
which one is best digitek 007 or hohem isteady x please tell me sir
I have never used digitek, but I was looking at their reviews and they don't seem to be very good. I'd take the hohem
I’m thinking of buying a gimbal only to make some walking tour style videos with my iphone 14 pro from time to time. Which one would you suggest?
Will om 6 be sufficient?
Yea perfectly fine
Which is better for making cinematic videos of vehicles to sell?
M6 will give you more freedom in your movements, specially for cars, but I like the OM6 for size, the magnetic clamp and other features mentioned in this video
Most phone gimbals have issues with the ultra-wide angle lens of smartphones: the gimbal arms are usually visible in the frame, does the hohem have this issue too?
Secondly, can the Hohem do the jigsaw move for reveal shot? you know the move where we attach a monopod to the base of a gimbal and raise it up as high as possible to reveal a location? I know the DJI can't do that as it has to be held sideways(sucks)
Lastly, what are the resolutions and frame rates the Hohem shoots at? you didn't mention all these in the video.
The phones I tried do not have a problem with ultra wide lens, but I only have 2 phones to test, iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S22 +
I replied to you about this jigsaw reveal shot in the other video, you can do the movement with the M6, and the reason why you can't do it with the OM6 is because of the design limitation for tilting movements. You can watch my M6 video review, I believe the last section is about the app and supported frame rates.
there's a button where you should press 4 times to change/hide the gimbal arms behind
Thank you! Went with Hohem!
You're welcome!
Thank you for the comparison. Any upgrades since last year?
You are welcome. They are the same as far as I know
I wonder how strong the M6 is as been looking to fix to road bike to record view as I cycle along but on an S23 Ultra
what kind of cycling? I feel that gimbals in general are not too good if you are going to use your bike on a park or rough terrain.
@@OttoJulian_ just on road, wanted to record cycle like London to Brighton but stable image
Hi i like m6 but i am worried about low angle shots for my back can i do something about that?
Yeah attach an extension rod at the bottom or a monopod
@@OttoJulian_ do the general works or buy it from hohem
@firstthingdawani9414 any will work, doesn’t need to be their brand
@@OttoJulian_ hey i am finding online extensions size is mentioned 1/4 something is it right?
Hi otto! Want to ask you please about poco x3 pro, do you know for sure, if it works with the gji 6 or with the hehem m6? I need to know for sure though..and if they have is substantial differences in weight because for the type of shooting I'm doing is about 4 hours shooting straight live show.. with one hand..(probably with additional Mike for the phone and lens on the gimble itself)..
Hi! Weight difference was explained in the video. Your phone should work with the gimbals with the limitations that I did mention too in the video
I really jjust want to know if they work well with android tbh
there is a section in the video
Which one would you prefer to buy for iphone 15pro max?
For features and tracking the M6. Portability and easier on and off the OM6
What is the diamater of the handle on the isteady m6?
it's not round, but at the widest is 4cm and at the narrowest is 3.5cm
Great vidéo ! Made my decision purchase :)
Which one are you getting?
Hey hai iam using s 23 ultra and i need 8k 30 frames for shoot films so please can you suggest which gimbal is the best for me
none of these gimbals will have 8K inside their apps. You'd have to use your native camera app, which is not a problem to be honest, and well, both of these gimbals are good, OM6 is more portable and has an extension rod, easier to setup with the magnetic clip, the M6 has tracking sensor and it can support extra weight, and it has a few features that can be useful
Can we use the headphone input at Isteady 6?
hi, no we can't
@@OttoJulian_ so the audio capture is always from the cell phone?
Sorry maybe I misunderstood your question. You can use an external microphone connected to your phone
Will this work for a regular s23? Not ultra idk why every video is an ultra version help
yes it will with the limitations that I mentioned
Great review!! One issue i have with the m6
Wont stay unlocked!!!I'm on my second m6 in a week span with the same issue!! They have an issue with the lock button, it will not stay in the unlocked position. Once it rotates a full 360 it automatically locks back. Any suggestions?
Hi, is the lock in the unlocked position? Or when you pull it down it goes back up again?
@OttoJulian_ when you pull it down it goes back up, will not stay unlocked
@matt9789 thanks for replying. You need to contact Hohem, they will most likely send you a replacement. For now, what you can do is to avoid that problem is to pull it down and place something small enough to keep the lever down.
Bravo e molto chiaro. Grazie per le info del confronto. 👌🏻💪🏻
You are welcome!
Otto, do you feel the zoom lever on the M6 works any smoother than the zoom slider on the Hohem Mobile + 2022, or the Hohem V6? Does the zoom always move slowly, or is the zoom speed variable depending on the pressure you use on the lever or slider? Can you program the zoom sensitivity in the Android app for any of these gimbals? Thanks for your to-the-point instructive videos! 😊
you can program the zoom sensitivity on hohem app, not sure about DJI
hello Dee, the zoom slider feels better than on those other gimbals that you mentioned, but it is not sensitive to the pressure applied, so either it zooms or it doesn't. As Phenom Dark said, you can customize the zoom speed inside the app
Thank you man!!! Great job.
You are welcome!
Hello Otto, Hohem is compatible with s22Ultra?
yeah with similar limitations that you get with OM6 in terms of frame rates, etc
@@OttoJulian_ not really, I downloaded hohem app to check it out before buying anything and it allows to use camera without the device and it supports 1080p60, cant tell about 4k60 since my phone is 4k30 only.
The only fact that the Hohem can carry heavier weight amd has better articulations makes is a better gimbal ❤
that's a good point!
Plus much better Battery.
Thank you so so so much 🙏❤️🥃🥃
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video.
How about your opinion? Which one better sir.
Both are good, that's my honest opinion, and they are my favorite ones to use. When I travel by air I prefer to take the OM6 as it's more compact, if I don't have to fly then M6 most of the times. But now the new V3 from Hohem has been taking the DJI position when I need more convenience
Hi Otto, is the hohem m6 support 4k 60fps on samsung galaxy s21fe?
To be fair no gimbal will be able to if you use their app. Some gimbals have tried to bypass this but with mixed results
@@OttoJulian_ Thanks a lot. I heard most of the iOS phone support 4k 60fps recording on the gimbals like Insta360 flow and the new flow pro but when it comes to android phone 4k 60fps support only on expensive phone. Is this not true? Sorry I am asking too many questions here but I really want to know because I am looking to grab one and just wanted to make sure I buy the right one.
Yeah. iPhones do allow full access to their camera unlike Android. My way to solve this is to use the native camera app to use 60fps. You lose some features when you shoot at that frame rate but it’s a matter of adapting
@@OttoJulian_ Okay, this cleared my doubts, thank you
I love the follow
yeah it's really nice!
Which one does 360 degrees without seeing the arm?
Because of the design, the M6 can spin all you want
@@OttoJulian_ thank you brother ✊🏾
very useful video. thanks a lot Sir
You are welcome!
❤,,, Thank you so much a good review 😊
You are so welcome!
Sir i have confused i have buy a gimbal first time which is the best gimbal for a mi
both are very good. Tracking is fantastic with the M6. OM6 is more portable and has a magnetic clamp for the phone.
Hello! I just found your video & was so happy to find it! It is very helpful. I do have a question or maybe a request.. I am curious to know how you would compare or maybe rate from favorite to least favorite these 2 stabilizers/gimbals the DJIOsmoMobile 6, the Hohem iSteady M6 + the Zhiyun Smooth 5S, the Insta 360 Flow & the Aochuan Smart S2. They’re all relatively close in price & each has its own special pros as well as cons. I’m so conflicted on which one to get! I also looked at the Hohem iSteady Vs2 which is a lower price point but seems to be also a great stabilizer/gimbal, just maybe a little more basic or beginner friendly. My head is spinning looking at all the different brands & models out there. Originally I thought I’d found what I wanted but the more I started digging into some of the different models I found more pros & cons as well as realizing that I need to spend a bit more than I had originally planned for better Ulithi & features. Anyhow your video was so helpful so thank you. I would love to hear more about your thoughts on some comparative models. Thanks again!
sorry about the late reply. It's not an easy answer, and I don't know if you already made up your mind. I think my best advice is to watch the videos that I have for the smartphone gimbals that you mentioned, but bottom line, choosing one will depend on the phone that you have and also your shooting style. My favorites right now are the OM6, the Hohem M6 and maybe the insta360. I didn't test the Aochuan S2, and Smooth 5S was replaced by the M6 in my book for a few reasons. Hope this helps
Thank you Otto
You are welcome !
In manual mode can i use 60fps on Android
the general answer is no, but there are a few (a few!) exceptions. OM6 has been reported to work at 60fps with google Pixel phone, but quality is not good for what I understand
Can m6 gimbal shooot 4k or 8k 60 fps with android phone?
Hi Vinod. I did talk about this in the video
@@OttoJulian_ ok thank you otto,i will recheck that vlog of you
Great job, case closed buddy thx
Thanks, I’m glad you found it helpful!
its more of a question............ is the Isteady M6 good to use for android phones?
I did use it with my Android too and it was good, just no 60fps inside their app
Handsome dude ❤
thanks !
Hohem now get the Full Frame way please ! Thank you
That would be good right?
@@OttoJulian_ No insta360 flow review?
sure I did 2 videos for the insta360 Flow :) have you seen them
Can you suggest me which one that you like?
These 2 are my favorites right now. I like the M6 for the tracking sensor, OLED screen, A to B buttons and also the range of movement. The OM6 for portability/size, the magnetic clamp and the app feels better.
Which gimbal is best
Both are really good. There is this new video that you might like

Thanks for liking
Welcome
Hello otto! Can we compatible dji osmo mobile 6 compatible with the OnePlus Nord series devices and please suggest me to buy good Gimbal for OnePlus device?
this new gimbal is good ruclips.net/video/H4mC8NsUljA/видео.html
is dji osmo app dji mimo safe to use?
my opinion? yes
M6 has big time quality and manufacturing issues. Got two different M6’s and both the locking switch was defective.
no way, really? I would be very upset, have you reached out to actually get a working device?
@@OttoJulian_ returned it and bought the DJI. Looking at FB groups seems to be a very common issue. Maybe a bad batch or something.
Muchas gracias!
con gusto!
Bought both. I have s24 ultra. Can't shoot 4k 60 fps on dji, but i can do it with hohem. Just for that, i'll keep hohem and refund dji
Android devices are not supposed to shoot in 60fps with their apps, not sure how you pulled it off
@@OttoJulian_ on DJI you are correct, on hohem, I can, maybe it wasn't at the time you tried them, but now I guarantee its possible for Hohem. Best thing is that I can use either hohem app or the phone app. Thats another + for hohem.
Magic. I got mine to do it too. 😅
so the best gimbal, the most feature rich, for android, is the hohem m6 so far. correct?
I like it quite a bit for Android
Hohem M6 ❤
it's great!
I'm experiencing a few stability issues with the Osmo mobile 6... he gets out of sync and it's hard to bring it back. Plus I've found that when on the go, the FPV mode is a bit more normal. And I'm using an iPhone 13 Pro Max with it.
By “out of sync” do you mean that it drifts somewhere else?
@@OttoJulian_ it moves to a different direction, it gets locked on random people and then it's just leaving the subject and destroys the video. Sometimes it feels like the gimbal is tired... drifts and then doesn't want to come back. I was recently on a trip and it was a nightmare to work with it. The pocket 2 preformed better 🤷🏻♂️.
Did you calibrate the gimbal? If you did, it might not be working as intended. I would send it back for a replacement
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
I am in a dilemma. Was gonna order the new Insta360 Flow then i heard someone mention the Hohem M6. Which is better?
My insta360 flow will arrive soon and I’ll make a review. I think M6 is a great gimbal
@@OttoJulian_ did you get it yet?
M6 is way better unless you have iPhone and only use insta app with it.
@@scottlee4664 guess I made the wrong choice! I use iPhone and wanted something with small form factor that tracks well. Didn’t want OM6. If it doesn’t work out I’ll send it back or sell it
@@flowyscreations insta 360flow is great for iPhone, that is not a bad choice at all, the app has almost everything supported, only limitation I see is tilt angle. if you can work around it with Flow, then Flow is perfect gimbal
