iSteady V3 Ultra: Professional-Grade Features
The iSteady V3 Ultra steps things up for creators who want more control and precision. It’s equipped with the upgraded iSteady 9.0 stabilization system and can handle heavier smartphones, up to 400 grams, including larger Pro and Pro Max models. It also provides a longer battery life of up to 15 hours, suitable for extended shoots.
Its standout addition is the built-in AI vision sensor and tracking module, a small 14-gram component with a 2MP camera that enables 360-degree horizontal tracking. This system can follow people, faces, pets, and even vehicles without relying on the phone’s own camera. Gesture controls make it easy to start or stop tracking, which feels intuitive once you get used to it.
Another impressive feature is the detachable touchscreen wireless remote control, which lets users view the live feed and manage gimbal settings from up to 33 feet away. For social media creators, the V3 Ultra’s “lossless vertical shooting” mode makes switching between portrait and landscape orientations as simple as pressing a single button.
The gimbal also includes a 205mm extension rod and a dual-color temperature fill light to handle different lighting conditions. Through the Hohem Joy App, creators can experiment with cinematic effects such as Hitchcock zoom, dreamy panoramas, and precise motion control. It even supports wireless phone charging while in use, which is convenient for long filming sessions.
iSteady X3: Designed for Versatility and Portability
The iSteady X3 is powered by Hohem’s iSteady 8.0 3-axis stabilization algorithm, ensuring smooth footage even while walking, running, or moving through uneven terrain. It supports smartphones up to 300 grams and offers up to 11 hours of continuous use on a single charge.
A major highlight of the X3 is its detachable Bluetooth magnetic remote, which allows shooting from up to 10 meters away. For solo travelers or vloggers filming themselves, this feature is a practical touch. The remote doubles as an operational control when attached to the handle and automatically recharges when docked.
For low-light scenes, the X3 includes a 3-color magnetic fill light with cool (6500K), neutral (5000K), and warm (2700K) tones, adjustable between 4% and 100% brightness. The integrated 205mm extension rod and tripod make it easier to capture wide group shots, high-angle perspectives, and stable time-lapses or live streams.
Through the Hohem Joy App, users can access creative shooting modes like Inception, Dolly Zoom, and Panorama, along with AI-driven subject and object tracking that automatically follows movements for seamless framing.
Available in Black and White, the iSteady V3 Ultra reflects Hohem’s growing focus on integrating AI with content creation tools, making professional mobile filmmaking more intuitive and accessible than ever.
