hohem iSteady Q Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphone, 1 Axis Selfie Stick Tripod with Face Tracking, 360° Rotation, 4 in 1 Portable Phone Tripod w/Extendable Stick for iPhone 14/Android Video Recording

Love this little pocket-sized single axis gimbal. I only found one slight issue with it. I have the OtterBox shock cover on my Samsung S25 phone and the rubber cushion makes it too thick to fit the holder in the "Follow Me" set up position. I had to use some flush-cut diagonal cutters to cut one of the small ears off the holder to get my phone to fit. No big deal. Very easy setup. I really like the removable remote phone control. Not very complete instruction manual. Wish each language was printed in it's own separate booklet. My cell phone camera allows just so much time for a panorama picture to be made, and the iSteady Q's rotation speed to do that is just a hair too slow. The camera seemed to be able to fill in the space just fine though. I wish the bottom of the selfie extension had a 1/4-20 threaded hole to attach the Q to the top of a longer extension pole. I guess I have a project to do! Overall, a VERY nice little unit for the price.

The item is just as described. It is a good size to where it is easy to pack and even comes with its own little travel bag. It could fit in a purse which is nice! The stand does everything described above and is pretty easy to figure out. It does come with a instruction manual that is simple to operate as well. I have now had it for about 2 months and I have never had to charge it so Idk that you even need too. Haha Overall happy with my purchase!

This is my first gimbal. I researched gimbals and this was a pretty decent one that had both pitch and roll axis. I could have gone with a three axis one, but from what I understood, for the purpose of my photography, which is basic tourist related photos and video, I didn’t need it. Plus, it would have been more expensive, and I’m an amateur photographer and didn’t want to invest in an expensive piece of equipment. I used this during a trip to Japan and worked decently. It was nice to reduce walking and shaking while holding my camera. It does have its own app to use to take photos, but it easily worked using my native phone camera just as fine. Because it works by balancing your phone, any additional attachments will make it very hard to balance. I purchased some really nice lenses to use while also using the gimbal and they ended up weighing it down where gimbal didn’t work properly: it kept trying to recalibrate to compensate for the weight. So in the end, I didn’t get the nice photos I wanted (my phone isn’t the greatest camera, but decent enough), but with the gimbal, I was able to take clear photos and at better angles with the telescopic selfie stick (I’m short). Another thing is that the battery drains very quickly. Luckily I had a power bank with me, but it was annoying that only after a couple hours, I had to charge it. It would be nice if there was a power save mode, because when I had an impromptu photo/video moment, I would have to turn on the gimbal, turn on the shutter button, calibrate it, and then select either landscape or portrait mode. Something else that would have been nice is the ability to keep the phone on the gimbal while folded away. That would have sped up the photo taking process. Oh well. It was a first gimbal and it worked fine. I’ll be using it again in the future, but more for stationary things or parties and weddings, etc. The attached video is just me testing it out, which I was impressed with how it smooth it was, while I was a trying to manually track myself.

It compacts really well and expand really tall. Loved it.

It's taking me some time to understand it. I have a pet boarding facility and wanted video of the dogs. The lock doesn't work well at all, OR it's working like it's supposed to. "Lock" to me means LOCK. It barely holds it in place. And worst of all, my phone won't clear it (Android S23 Ultra) when it stabilizes... hits the bar. I don't know, I'm very frustrated with it.

Very beginner friendly and basic gimbal. Very compact and easy to pack around everywhere you go. I used it to shoot 4x4 vehicles going off-road and while it wasn't the most ideal Hohem product to use at the time, it impressively did the job well enough to get decent videos

I bought this based upon reviews. Unfortunately, the performance didn't live up to its reviews. To begin with, the "manual", if you can call it that, requires a telescope in order to read its tiny print. Manufacturers need to stop printing these manuals with print so tiny, which renders them useless. It's dumb! Secindly, the app wasn't much help & the gimbal itself, coukdn't properly balance my S23 Ultra, nor, my S24 Ultra. Personallt, I was terribly disappointed & I like the features that were the selling point for this gimbal. Unfortunately, in practice, it just didn't work. That's unfortunate because although I need a gimbal stabilizer for my Samsung Ultras & my D750 & Z6II, it appears as though I'm going to have to search elsewhere, as this iSteady Q, makes me a little skeptical about the Hohem stabilization system. I don't think that I'm willing to drop a couple of hundred on something whose gimbal nor app delivered as promised. I can't recommend this product. 1 Star for a great idea, -4 for actual functionaliry

This is a great product. This innovative device has truly elevated my selfie game to a whole new level. The gimbal technology ensures that every shot is incredibly stable and smooth, eliminating any worries about shaky hands or blurry images. The gimbel helps to have level shots. The selfie stick extends to 3 ft. The phone holder is adjustable. This product folds up nicely and it can fit in your pocket. It also has a remote so you can take pictures away from the phone. It also has 3 legs so it can stand up on its own. I love how versatile it is – I can switch between photo and video mode effortlessly, creating dynamic content for my social media platforms. The battery life is impressive, allowing me to snap away without any interruptions. Overall, this selfie stick with a gimbal has exceeded my expectations and added an exciting new dimension to my photography adventures.

Todo bien solo el control pequeño no prende

Very good and genuine product and features... battery duration also needs ro improve..

The rechargeable battery is a little less capacity not long enough

Wasn’t happy with it , price is cheap but does not do much . Invest a bit more and go for a DJI

The physical features was good but the battery itself is not it easily lowbat and sometimes when you do filming there is a time become blackout (few minutes or sec.) then return again to the objects. When you use the Tripod part of the stand is not durable it is easy to broke.
