One of the best budget action cam gimbals I've used.
I bought the Hohem iSteady pro 2 to document my travels with my GoPro Hero 6. Above all when recording fast sporting activities, I attach great importance to a stable and smooth picture. I've been using gimbals of all sizes and formats for some time now, the iSteady pro 2 is solidly built and has a comfortable grip.
Scope of delivery / packaging
The gimbal is packaged in a plain white package. This packaging protects the gimbal transport case. The transport case is padded on the inside and thus protects every part in it. Vibrations or hits on the case should not cause any problems either.
1x standard accessory
1x tripod
1x carry bag
1x USB cable for gimbal,
1x Micro / Type C USB charging cable for camera
The gimbal is splash-proof and can therefore also be used in difficult weather. The camera can be operated using the joystick and the buttons below it.
Working modes and operation of the mode keys
move to (single click);
Pan mode (movements to the right and left are stabilized) (double click)
Lock Mode – locked mode (triple click);
Follow All (Quarterly Click);
Calibration (long press)
Stabilization: I had already seen some Youtube videos, so I already knew what the picture will look like in the end. No matter what the position, I always got a smooth picture and overall I am very satisfied with the stabilization. The engine noise is relatively quiet even when the engine is working hard. Indoors, I was able to see them very easily on the recordings. But I don't think that the engine noise is noticeable in outdoor recordings.
Conclusion:
I can recommend the gimbal to anyone who wants to use it for vacation shots or action shots. I've researched action camera gimbals a lot and I'm convinced that I made the best possible budget decision with the Hohem iSteady Pro 2. The device is very robust and can therefore also be used in difficult weather conditions. I think the design is well done. The stabilization results are excellent, I am very satisfied so far.
Thanks for reading and I hope my review was helpful to you in your purchasing decision.
