A popular manufacturer of camera accessories, Hohem, has introduced a new addition to its iSteady lineup: the iSteady V3 Ultra. This latest smartphone gimbal enhances the previous iSteady V3, which was released in July of last year. The new Ultra variant boasts significant improvements in both design and features compared to the earlier model.
Compact Design and Compatibility
In terms of design, the Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra is more compact than its closest competitor, the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P. It measures 160.5 x 44 x 98 mm (6.31 x 1.7 x 3.8 inches) when folded, while the DJI OM 7P is larger at 190 x 46 x 95 mm (7.4 x 1.8 x 3.7 inches). This gimbal can manage loads up to 400 grams (0.88 lbs), an increase from the 300 grams (0.66 lbs) limit of the iSteady V3. It accommodates a range of smartphone widths, from 58 mm (2.2 inches) to 98 mm (3.8 inches). In comparison, the DJI OM 7P and Insta360 Flow 2 Pro only support devices with widths of 67 to 84 mm and 64 to 84 mm, respectively.
Enhanced AI Tracking Features
The AI tracking capabilities of the Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra have been improved. It features a multimodal AI tracking module capable of both subject and object tracking, which is a major upgrade over the basic human-only tracking of the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P. Furthermore, the new V3 Ultra includes gesture control for hands-free use. Unlike its predecessor, the iSteady V3, the Ultra has a 1.22-inch full-color detachable touchscreen remote for real-time high-definition previews and complete control.
Hohem has also integrated its latest iSteady 9.0 anti-shake system with 3-axis mechanical stabilization in the V3 Ultra for smooth footage without shakes. A new feature is the 360° Infinite Pan tracking, which keeps the subject centered during dynamic shots. The gimbal includes a built-in selfie stick that extends up to 205 mm (8 inches). The V3 Ultra is rated to last up to 9 hours on its 1,600 mAh battery, which takes around 2.5 hours for a full charge. However, this is a decrease in battery life from the V3’s 13 hours.
Versatile Lighting and App Support
The multimodal AI tracker also functions as an adjustable 3-color fill light (cool, warm, and neutral). Hohem claims that auto tracking and object tracking now work with any app. Like other gimbals from Hohem, the iSteady V3 Ultra is compatible with the Hohem Joy companion app, which offers various features and free tutorials to help users master their gimbal.
Offered in Shadow Black and Arctic White, the Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra AI tracking smartphone gimbal is priced at $169. It is available for purchase on Hohem’s official website as well as on Amazon.
