If you’re a mobile videographer and looking to level up your shots, you’d usually invest in a gimbal. There are many options out there, but the iSteady M7 from Hohem might be the ultimate gimbal for any mobile videographer.
At the core of the iSteady M7 is this tiny module that houses Hohem’s AI tracking system that is so powerful in tracking the movements of subjects. This feature was demoed to us during their launch event in Greenhills, and we were impressed at how fast the iSteady M7 was able to catch up with the subject despite moving swiftly. Activating the AI Tracking system is easy—all you have to do is do an “ok” gesture to activate it and a palm gesture to end AI tracking.
Aside from housing Hohem’s AI tracking system, the module also has an RGB lighting system that can be used to illuminate your subject—making the iSteady M7 have one essential feature that mobile videographers need.
New to the iSteady M7 is a detachable touchscreen remote that allows you to control the gimbal from a distance. Aside from being easy to use with its touchscreen functionality, the detachable remote can be used as a viewfinder as well to help you frame your shots properly. The iSteady M7 also has another magic trick up its sleeve, as it has a built-in extension pole that can increase its height by up to 193mm—and the gimbal itself has a maximum payload of 500 grams, so you can use practically any phone with it.
Other features of the iSteady M7 include a 460mAh battery that allows it to work for up to 3 hours on a single charge, sockets for adding attachments like tripods and microphones, and USB-C charging.
The Hohem iSteady M7 is priced at Php 12,999.
