I just bought the iSteady MT2 because I didn't like how my home videos looked. This will make everything so much better. Thank you for the many tips on different uses of the gimbal. I'm going to try several.
I could listen to Otto all day. So many instructions packed into this short video. The world thanks you Otto, and for that, I have a new follow and bell.
Can you use this gimbal with a media mod on the Hero 12. Need better options for audio and looks like you can use other wireless devices plugged into the med mod. Thanks for your time in reviewing this gimbal.
Excellent video, but regarding the iSteady PRO 4, I bought it on November 28, 2023, and it's already malfunctioning. The build quality is entirely plastic, resembling a toy, and it suddenly starts vibrating. I would like a refund and plan to purchase the FALCON PLUS instead.
Sorry to hear that Ron. Most gimbals are made with 90% or more with plastic components. I can agree that this one doesn't have premium quality plastic as their higher end gimbals. Let us know after you test the Falcon how it goes. I only used that a couple of times because my friend had it, but I wasn't paying to much attention to the gimbal itself that day
Yeah it works but you can’t track objects with this AI sensor, someone has to activate it by doing the gesture and the sensor will identify and track him/her
Hi there, when you use the gimbal with the extension rod to create a drone effect, do you set it in lock mode or follow mode? I alsi have the isteady pro4 and 3m rod and gopro12..
Lock mode is very restrictive. Use PF if you don’t want the tilt to go up or down. Follow mode is also an option if you don’t mind the free movement of the camera
HI... Considering a classic 3D space, Therefore the classic three axes, X, Y, Z. Where the x axis is forward and backward, where the y axis is left and right, where the z axis is up and down, the gimbal covers only the x and y axes. The Z axis is not allowed for a classic Gimbal, so... is it a big problem ?
Hello Cristoforo. It’s not a big problem but it’s not something that we can avoid 100%. That’s why it’s recommended to do some kind of ninja walk or smooth walking to compensate and minimize that movement as much as possible
@@OttoJulian_ I think for a new generation of Gimbal. it would be a great thing for this 2024. Maybe a 4 axis gimbal could push a lot of people to buy one, I don't think price matters when you offer 4 axis. by the way... Happy new year
@@OttoJulian_ thanks, but from what I've seen this blocks the use of the side shoe mount on the media mod? If I want to mount a light and a better external mic then I wouldn't be able to do that with any of the gimbal mounts?
can you setup the record button from gimbal with gopro12 and how? does this gimbal also have the feature when you press the trigger in front 3 times and spins for a selfie??
@@OttoJulian_ i purchased it today . I have GoPro 12 and can’t get the record button on gimbal to work . And the Hohem app , only the joystick works and not the record button or switch modes from video to photo.
Thank You Otto, I was thinking and you had already answered with a video as always. I have a question. I both have DJI Osmo Mobile 6 Gimbal and Zhiyun M3S. I am planning to buy DJI Osmo Action 4. I have 2 gimbals but they both are not as practical as that little on you advised. What can you please advise? Should I buy another that advised gimbal because it is very light and practical than what I have om6/Z_M3s? Thank You Otto.
hey there! interesting question.....the A4 should work on the Zhiyun M3S, what I don't like about using it is that I have to rebalance everything each time I need to use a different camera (but that's true for any gimbal that can carry a camera and an action camera anyway). Now I'm not so sure if you want to have 3 gimbals (I wouldn't mind with these sizes), this PRO4 can be setup very fast (no balancing, just need to place the camera and lock it in) and it also has a low price
What mode is the gimbal (iSteady Pro 4) in when you are doing crane shots on a crane pole? Do you know if the Insta360 Ace Pro will mount onto the iSteady Pro 4?
Yes it will fit I've done it several times it is difficult to pull the black strap over it and you have to flip the red latch upside down. But it does fit.
@ReddCamera it’s way too tight and not designed for such camera. Glad it worked for you but I wouldn’t risk my Ace Pro or recommend to anyone doing the same
Yes but you need to use a quick release plate at the bottom of the GoPro so it can be balanced. Bare in mind that the gimbal is not designed for action cameras
@@OttoJulian_ i like the ideas for the function of the ai sensor plus the light for low light also the function to rotate. I'll be doing some night time footage so was thinking gimbal to stop the blobing if you know what I mean
Sorry for bothering you again but I bought a 2nd hand mt2 and during setup one of the orange locks came off. I'd like to try and fix it as no warranty. It doesn't look like it was sheered off any ideas on how to fix or if this is a common flaw ? As I didn't over tighten
@@OttoJulian_ Hey, same question from me, Hero 12 Black here but cannot for the life of me find how I pair my Hohem isteady Pro 4 to it? They’ve changed the setup on GP 12, any ideas how you paired yours??
@@TimmyMagic Make sure your Wireless Connections are set to On (Preferences / Wireless Connections / On). Double tap the PAIR button on the gimbal (Green light will flash). On mine it will not connect the first time but if I wait for the green light to stop flashing and then double tap it again it connects right up.
Thank you for this video. This is still a good justification for getting a gimbal.
Thanks for your feedback
I used to listen to lofi hip-hop chillout beats for relaxation, but now I've found this channel. It's really a helpful video, though.
haha I keep getting similar comments about my videos. Thanks!

Excellent video Otto. And a very interesting device really.
Thank you for your effort in teaching us :)
Glad you liked it! Gopro 12 review is coming soon! (hopefully)
Very helpful, I also enjoy the extra explanations for the novice.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome reasons. I use mine for night walks with GoPro. Thanks Otto.
nice!
Can you use this gimbal with a media mod on the Hero 12. Need better options for audio and looks like you can use other wireless devices plugged into the med mod. Thanks for your time in reviewing this gimbal.
yes with mt2 , no with isteady pro4 ,yes with Inkee Falcon pro
Thank You, great video.
You are welcome!
Just got mine. Let’s see the results
good luck!
Thank for the tips.. I think I'm gonn buy gopro 11 cheaper than gopro 12...after I saw your preview with hypersmooth
sounds good!
Hi Otto. Thanks for the video. On the iSteady Pro 4, can I use a monopod for the extension rod (or it might be too heavy). Thanks.
You can use a monopod yeah. But I'm not sure why you mentioned an extension rod
Has anyone used ipro4 with DJI Osmo A4?
results are very similar
Thanks Otto.
Any time!

Glad I read your comment Ron, please tell me the results of your new gimbal?😮
Have you tried attaching a mic? I'm curious how the setup will look like
not with the iSteady Pro 4
@OttoJulian_ interesting I'm curious how I'll be able to attach a mic hehe
hi Otto which gimbal you can recommend for DJI Action 4..thanks
hi, this one from the video is a good option. Otherwise, bigger gimbals like the MT2 or the Zhiyun M3S
Nice video sir, helpful video
Thanks and welcome
Hi Otto. Does the tracking on iSteady MT2 work with the Insta360 Ace Pro? How do you track an object rather than a person? Thank you
Yeah it works but you can’t track objects with this AI sensor, someone has to activate it by doing the gesture and the sensor will identify and track him/her

Lock mode is very restrictive. Use PF if you don’t want the tilt to go up or down. Follow mode is also an option if you don’t mind the free movement of the camera
So just one question if I'm using a Gimbal Should I just simply turn the stabilization off in the Go pro??
I leave it on unless a specific feature has to turn it off or asks me to do it. Otherwise they can complement each other
Hello, when I place the gimbal on Lock Mode, the Pan motor is not locking in place. Any ideas?
Not really. It should lock all axis
Thank you Otto
Hey Kevin, thank you so much!

Isn't up and down main part of stabilisation while walking?
@roninr8199 hi. That up and down is a 4th axis and this gimbals work for 3 axes.

Hello! You are welcome !!
Can you use this gimbal with active track? I would like to film a biker while riding, but not sure about the active tracking.
No it doesn’t have tracking
@@OttoJulian_ Thank you, gimbal with tracking would be great.
Does the iSteady PRO 4 have a ` motion tracking facility` like the like the iSteady MT2 ?
hi, no it doesn't
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
How do I use a mic with GoPro 12 with a gimbal?
the media mod can't be used with this gimbal
Good morning awesome video question where to get the adapter to hold the gopro hero 12 or insta 360
this gimbal doesn't need an adapter, for other gimbals you might need one, I have seen them on Amazon
What extension is compatible with hohem iSteady MT2 ? thank you for answers. BTW great video
For the MT2 I’d go with a monopod if you are using it with a regular camera
Im using it with a GoPro and I’d like to get the Isteady MY2
Nice looking gimbal, but I don't install CCP Apps on any of my devices. Thank for the video.
Thanks !!
How do you connect the gopro 12 to the hohem isteady m6
You can't
None of them seem to allow the use of GoPro Media Mod AND keep both shoe mounts clear for additional accessories (Light and Rode mic).
You are right. I will try to send this feedback to Hohem
I forgot to mention that the MT2 will support the media mod. I haven’t tried it to be honest but it should work
@@OttoJulian_ thanks, but from what I've seen this blocks the use of the side shoe mount on the media mod? If I want to mount a light and a better external mic then I wouldn't be able to do that with any of the gimbal mounts?
Hy Otto i have a question?
I a have a GoPro 12 and not connect for Gimbal isteady pro 4.
did you update the isteady Pro 4?
can you setup the record button from gimbal with gopro12 and how? does this gimbal also have the feature when you press the trigger in front 3 times and spins for a selfie??
Via bluetooth. trigger will flip the gimbal for selfie mode

hola!!!! tus videos en que formato los grabas y que modo recomiendas usar el isteady pro 4, saludos desde Peru
Hola! Uso HEVC cuando es posible (h.265). El modo del gimbal depende de la toma. Normalmente uso más tilt locked
Hohem isteady mt2 si compatibile for insta 360 ace pro ?
Yeah it will work fine
Tracking gimbal for Action4? Thx Otto!😊
it has to be the MT2 or similar. The iSteady PRO 4 doesn't have tracking
Is it ok to use the go pro with the hohemisteady m6 gimble?
You can. The M6 is not designed for action cameras but you can use it as long as you be careful so it won’t fall off
What kind of extension rod you’re using? Thanks!
The one I used in this video is this one: amzn.to/47ogacJ
Thanks very much Otto!
I use the iSteady Pro 4 but I seem to have a lot of vibration with it? Anything i can try?
Question: is your footage shaky or the gimbal itself is vibrating?
Question: is your footage shaky or the gimbal itself is vibrating?
Can these be mounted to a chest harness ?
You mean the gimbal? If the harness is designed to hold gimbals in general this one is no different
@@OttoJulian_ thankyou 🙂 I've recently just bought a gopro 12. First time using an action cam. Thanks for your help 👍
Hi Otto, does the gimbal have vertical mode either?
hi, the PRO 4 doesn't, the MT2 does have vertical mode
thank you @@OttoJulian_
Will gopro 8 work 100% with iSteady PRO 4?
As far as I know it does
not being able to fold it and put it in your pocket is major problem, particulary for travel and being light on the move.
Yeah this is the downside of these kind of gimbals
Gimbals and pockets don't go together son.
Will this gimbal work with a GoPro 12 with the Media Mod attached?
I haven’t tried but I don’t think so
No
I got the iSteady Pro4 for my gopro 12, but the camera does not seem to fit. It the gopro 12 supposed to fit on this gimbal? thank you
Yes it should. That’s what I used for the whole video
