First of all, notice that the
camera is tracking me.
There is no other person.
It's only me.
I don't have any second camera person.
And I'm filming with Canon M6, Mark II and the same thing I can do
also with my bigger camera
Sony A7SIII, smartphone and action camera.
I'm going to do one more thing.
I'm going to reposition myself.
Let's say a little bit to the right here
and now
if I would be filming something where I'm going to show you
how to actually film something,
picture in picture style,
that's it.
Wherever I'm going to move, it's going to keep the same perfect frame.
And I don't need another person with me.
Hohem is back.
Hohem is also sponsor of today's video.
Let me introduce you to newly released Hohem
iSteady MT2.
It's a 4in1 camera stabilizer.
This is the first time I was bugging a company.
Have you mailed it yet?
When is it coming?
When am I going to get this? Sorry, Jesse.
Well, I literally freaked out
when I heard about this gimbal that it is going to be released.
I have a strong reason why.
Back in March, I introduced Hohem iSteady M6
which is strictly for smartphones.
If you are familiar with that one, you will understand
very quickly what this new, bigger one is capable of.
In this video I will introduce this gimbal, show main features
and how it can be used.
I will be also creating in depth tutorial, in depth guide how to use this gimbal
so don't forget to subscribe if you are not already.
How much can you load on this? Mirrorless cameras up to 1.2 kilograms.
So my setup is Sony A7SIII,
Tamron lens which is light and Freewell magnetic VND filter.
Now I'm really happy that I chose the Tamron lenses because they are very light.
You can load smartphones weighing just over 200
grams and action cameras weighing around 100 grams.
The gimbal weighs 653 grams.
It's got a nice range of movement.
Pan is 360 degrees, roll is I would say around
200 and tilt is 320 degrees.
Charging time is 3 hours.
You will get up to 18 hours of runtime.
If you are going to be using AI tracking and fill light
at its highest brightness, you will get 6 to 8 hours.
It has two way charging, so you can also charge your phone with it.
You can use it in temperatures ranging from -10
to plus 45 degrees Celsius.
You can film in a horizontal and vertical position.
It has a specially designed L bracket where you can
attach the camera with Arca Swiss plate.
It's easy to take the camera out and in whenever you need to.
You just detach it, turn it, place it in lock
and now you can film in a vertical position.
You can easily pull out the screen to see yourself.
Let's go straight to the reason why I've freaked out.
Well, women are big drama queens, you know.
Anyways,
this the AI tracking sensor.
My biggest problem when I'm filming on locations
showing you how to film something is framing.
I have a camera on a tripod, so I try to frame myself.
Then I'm concentrating on what I'm filming
so I can explain to you how to do it while here and there
I look at the first camera if I'm still in the frame.
Sometimes it doesn't go well, so I have to do
lots of reframing in the post so it looks decent.
Well, I can't have a second camera person because nobody is really excited
about getting up at 4 a.m.
for early sunrise shoot.
Well, this thing solves everything.
You might say
you're going to use your Insta360 camera instead so you can reframe it in a post.
True, but you still have to go into the studio
and spend extra time on reframing each clip separately.
I'm trying to cut down any extra time.
I don't want any extra time.
This does it the right on the spot.
It's also very handy for vlogging
for example, like streaming, filming, dancing or skating.
This is how it would look like if you would be vlogging.
So I enabled the AI tracking sensor
and in any direction, I'm going to point the camera,
it is always going to be nicely framed on me
so I don't have to worry where I look, where I move the camera.
Yeah, much easier.
First of all, it is magnetic.
You can remove it, place it, and you can turn it off if you don't want to use it.
There is an on and off button.
You will show the okay, sign it will blink and now you can move around.
In the papers it says that it can track you up to 3.5 meters.
It can do a little bit more.
So I'm just going to test it.
So now I'm about two meters.
Now I am at about Oh, yeah, three meters.
Still tracking me.
Now I am at about, I don't know, quite far.
And the camera is still tracking me.
The sensor is tracking me. So
there you go.
Still tracking.
We'll see.
Still tracking.
Now, this is very far you
know,
It seems like it finally lost me.
I want to show you the reframing, which is super important for me.
So I'm right now recording myself with a little Canon camera,
but I am right now very much in a center and I don't like the frame,
so I'm going to do is the L, it will blink.
Now I'm going to position myself a bit higher.
It will blank again.
And now I am framed in much better position.
So I'm not so in a center.
So in my case,
when I'm filming all those tutorials, how to film, I don't have to pay attention
to the framing.
I don't have to just is going to follow me everywhere I move.
This AI tracking sensor doesn't need any Bluetooth
connection, doesn't need any Wi-Fi, nothing.
It's just working standalone.
The sensor has RGB fill light.
You can switch between CCT and RGB, adjusts color and strength.
All can be changed with the control wheel and buttons directly on the gimbal.
The OLED screen has everything nicely displayed.
ISteady MT2 has upgraded three axis stabilization,
so let's see how stable it is.
Here's a typical regular hard walk,
soft walk
and run.
Just like iSteady
M6 gimbal designed for smartphones only
this one also has the same AB motion time lapse buttons, so you can film
time lapses without the need of an app on a smartphone.
You can do that directly on the gimbal.
Just frame the shot where you want the time lapse to start.
You can do that with a joystick or also manually by hand.
Positioned the frame, hold for 2 seconds and it will stay there.
Then long press A button,
frame the ending position on a timelapse long,
press B button, double press the A button, and the time
lapse is being recorded.
If you are wondering about the modes it has pan follow,
Pan and tilt Follow, all lock, POV, sports mode and inception,
which will give you the nice full 360 rotation.
The app to be used with this gimbal is Hohem Joy.
Once you open the app you will choose a remote control
if you are using it with a mirrorless camera.
If you are going to be
filming with a smartphone, you will select phone camera mode.
Right now I have Sony camera on the gimbal
so let's check out the remote control mode.
You can use your smartphone as a joystick.
You can control roll movement.
Below is typical joystick control.
At the bottom you can change gimbal mode, turn the camera 180 degrees.
There is also a shutter button, you can reset the gimbal and the last icon
is to enter a big section, which is gimbal parameter settings.
Here you can change the gimbal mode, follow speed, motor intensity, change
AB time lapse duration, adjust inception
rotate speed, reverse joystick movements,
adjust tilt roll and pan motors, auto calibrate gimbal,
restore settings and factory reset AI vision sensor.
Let's go all the way back and select Motion control.
Here
you can fully customize the speed of the motors and also sensitivity of the motors.
Let's go back to the last section, which is time lapse.
You can create a custom motion time lapse which you can also save as a template.
Duration choice is one minute all the way to 3 hours,
and you can select up to five frames.
Hohem also has a small remote which you can buy separately.
It's HRT-03.
It can be easily paired with this gimbal.
You can control the shutter button, you can control gimbal movements,
change modes, and if you film with a smartphone,
you can also zoom in and out with this remote.
This is very handy if you're going to be using a monopod
so you don't have to always bring it down, change mode on it and then bring it up.
You just do that with a remote.
You can also get more creative shots using a remote as a joystick,
moving the motors around. If you will be using the gimbal with a smartphone,
the clamp is included and it has an option to attach more accessories to it.
The app is exactly the same.
Just like with Hohem iSteady M6.
You can film in any app of your choice or you can film in Hohem Joy.
With iPhone you will get 4K, 1080p and 720p
in 24, 30 and 60 frames per second.
You can do face tracking, object tracking,
slow motion, there timelapse, panorama, photo,
video, Moment Pre-designed stories where you can also get to clone me,
panorama video, dolly zoom, smart dolly zoom and more. Beauty mode and filters
are also available. If you will be using an action camera with the gimbal,
this is the mount you will use. And if your action
camera is a GoPro you can pair it with this gimbal.
I'm going to return to this whole package.
It really has everything you need.
Gimbal, AI sensor, tripod, Arca Swiss quick release plate,
phone clamp, Arca Swiss L bracket, thumb screw wrench, adapter
for action camera, two thumbscrews, type A two type-C charging cable.
There are various camera cables, storage bag and user manual.
Few things I really liked when I was opening the package.
First of all, the manual. Big manual with a big text.
Thank you.
The little screw wrench which is magnetic, you don't need to carry coins
in your pocket.
The fact that this screw has a ring so you don't need the coin for sure.
These are all these little details
which I'm quite annoyed about with some other products.
These guys seem to be quite practical. When it comes to negatives,
the only thing I don't like is that the camera wire with my Sony
A7SIII is kind of going across. If the port would be turned
the other way or the wire turned the other way, it would be under.
I'm assuming not all Sony cameras have that port turned in that direction.
When you mix, when you mix and match products like gimbal and cameras
and all different wires and stuff, it's never going to be 100%.
There's always something you need to adjust, something you need to change.
I might look around if there's another cable, which I could use.
Another thing is also the beep.
When you turn it off or turn it on.
It's quite loud.
So if you're going to be filming at a weddings,
it might be a little bit disturbing, but I'm sure that they will bring the option
to silence that down the road with firmware updates.
Other than that, I am truly looking forward to working with this gimbal.
As I know for the type of videos I produce here, it's going to be a huge help.
Any creator who works mainly solo would appreciate this.
AI camera man. Link to the product can be found
below the video in a video description.
I'm going to link also the remote there.
Again I will be creating in depth guide,
in depth tutorial how to use this gimbal within next few weeks
so don't forget to subscribe.
If you are not already, Give you the thumbs up,
leave a comment below.
Let me know what you think about this gimbal
and perhaps check out one of these videos
next. Cau... Ahoj..
