To be honest, I had a bit of buyer's remorse after the initial set up.The gimbal wouldn't activate itself correctly. I would get the beep error and it would shut off. I thought maybe it was a battery issue but it was having a hard time orienting itself even though I centered the phone in the middle as it said in the setup guide.2nd time, same error so I let it charge just in case the indicator was giving a false full charge signal. 3rd time same error but I gently flicked my phone and it calibrated and started working correctly.So heads up if you're planning to use this with a 12 pro max or another phone around the same weight class or a lighter phone with lens and other attachments. One review video used a 12 pro max in a case with an attached lens and had good results so keep that in mind. The official payload rating is 280g.I haven't played around with the native app so watch some reviews about how to use it or guides are available within the Hohem app itself.What I do like is being able to use my own photo and video apps while the gimbal is still working.One warning is make sure to check for everything that comes with the box. I happened to not notice the wrist strap because of how light it is and how well they tucked it into the compartment where the gimbal bag was placed in. I actually threw it in the recycling bin without realizing it and fortunately recovered it after watching a review video.Another thing that was really nice of Hohem was the USB cable they provided. Out of the box, it seems like any other USB A to C cable so I tossed it with my other cables. It wasn't until I watched a review video that I learned it's actually a C to C cable with a USB A adapter already attached. I like not having to sacrifice my current stock of C to C cables and I only have one C to A adapter so it's nice to have another spare.This gimbal comes with it's own tripod attachable by threaded mount. Toss the tripod and you can attach the gimbal to your own gear.

Really appreciate how this gimbal works! I am looking for a gimbal that could track my face well when I take online physical courses, and here I finally got this one! I occasionally find this gimbal from amazon, and I am attracted by its camera in front, it mentions that this gimbal is built with an AI vision sensor and also contains a LED light for adjusting the brightness around which sounds pretty cool, so I bought it to give it a try. They provide very detailed instructions and it’s not very complicated for me to follow. To realize the function of face tracking, after turning on the gimbal, just first click the button on top of the camera, then facing the camera with an OK gesture, and it works! Once you figure out the way, it will be really easy and quick! In addition, one of my friends who loves taking photos really likes this gimbal with its anti-shake and various modes such as inception, dolly zoom. If you prefer to possess a gimbal stabilizer, don’t hesitate to try this one!

I am a dancer and do live streaming on Tiktok sometimes. A gimbal which can follow my face when I am using another live streaming App is definitely what I need. I have tried so many other gimbals which call themselves as “AI gimbal” but found that they are not really as described because you still need to use their own Apps when doing face tracking. When I saw Hohem ISteady V2, I know this gimbal must be the one I’ve been looking for! When I turn on the AI camera and show a ok gesture in front of it, the gimbal starts following my face! This one must be the first innovative gimbal in the world I guess.For other impressed features, LED light is my favorite for saving my money on buying another light ring. Moments Mode in Hohem Pro Gimbal really helps to film stunning and cool videos on Tiktok.By the way, their customer service is thoughtful and sweet. I asked so many questions about the instructions and would get detailed information immediately.
