Is the iSteady X V2 worth it over a phone gimbal like the DJI Osmo Mobile SE?

It is lighter and folds smaller than the Osmo Mobile SE, which suits pocket carry. The DJI has stronger motors and a more polished app, so pick it for heavier phones or steadier software.

Does it work with large phones?

It clamps most phones, but the motors are modest. Very large or heavy phones, especially with thick cases, may need careful balancing and can strain the gimbal.

What can the Hohem app do?

The app adds AI subject tracking, time-lapse, slow-motion and one-tap templates. It is the main way to unlock the gimbal's creative modes.

How long does the battery last?

It runs for a few hours of shooting per charge, shorter than larger gimbals. Carry a power bank for long days.

The gimbal, a USB charging cable and a small tripod are typically included. Check the listing for the exact bundle.

Does it fold for travel?

Yes. It folds into a compact shape that fits in a pocket or small bag, which is its main advantage over larger gimbals.

Our take on the Hohem iSteady X V2 Smartphone Gimbal

The Hohem iSteady X V2 is a folding three-axis smartphone gimbal built for casual video shooters. It is one of the lightest gimbals in its class and folds small enough to carry in a pocket, so it suits travel, vlogging and everyday phone footage. Its app adds AI tracking, time-lapse, slow-motion and one-tap templates. Against rivals like the DJI Osmo Mobile SE and Insta360 Flow, it trades some build polish and motor headroom for portability and simple setup.
