Product Information

You can modify how your lens feels and still shoot using the best-performing sensor. In my case, the 8K capable camera of Xiaomi Mi 11. This gallery shows you how you can transform a single camera on your phone with APEXEL lenses:

To test this, APEXEL sent me a set of lenses to try. Unfortunately, their 5in1 set hasn’t arrived in time for my holiday, but I got to test how the gimbal and APEXEL lenses work together. You may wonder, why put extra lenses on a camera that already comes with 3? Not all sensors are made equal and my ultra-wide and telephoto are not as impressive as the main shooter – unable to film in anything better than 1080p60p. I could also tell that my ultra-wide sensor doesn’t handle the details that well especially in the dark. I’m sure interested parties can follow this up on my recent Hohem M6 AI Gimbal article– if you’ve not seen it – highly recommended. I’ve had SO much fun with this new gimbal and expect to have even more now I have it’s remote control.I wanted to test out the gimbal in the real world so I headed downtown and shot some footage of the local light rail and some downtown city vibes.

The overall design and build quality feel very easy to use. You can control all the buttons with a single hand without losing stability and control over your gimbal. The small tab responsible for keeping the roll axis in place got rounded before I even ended up my Marrakech trip. It won’t hold the axis in place while stowed away. It’s not like it saves you space, but this bit should be made from reinforced plastic. The wheel controls are simply underutilised. I would love the ability to map the wheel to any of the axes (not just the roll) and use it to add custom time for timelapse. That flexibility would be appreciated. I hope to see the options for this in a firmware patch. Considering the inclusion of the OLED display, I’m surprised Hohem didn’t include a menu with options to navigate through. App and other observations All this awesomeness is complemented by the Hohem’s ability to hold up to 400g of payload. Before I hear you say that your phone isn’t this heavy, there are interesting uses for all that power.iSteady 7.0 Stabilization: Allowing users to capture on-the-move and shake-free creations that wow.

Different lighting for your diverse style of filming: Cold light, warm light and RGB light at your choices to bring out details in and add dynamism to your shots. My attention at first is focused on the giant encoder wheel. Next to a dedicated OLED panel, this is the biggest change from other models. The wheels control the focus pull (needs app), roll axis and brightness and colour of the RGB light in the AI add-on. The tripod functionality works great for supporting the weight of the gimbal and it feels stable even when in motion.

I never felt like the Hohem iSteady M6 had a loose grip on my smartphone even when my gimbal technique wasn’t what it should have been. A gimbal is a tool that helps you stabilize camera movement. If you’ve ever wondered how Hollywood studios get those buttery smooth shots even during complex movements, there’s a good chance that they’re using some type of gimbal.
