The Hohem iSteady X2, is a compact 3-axis gimbal stabilizer for capturing smooth and steady video with your smartphone. As you follow your subject, it compensates for any hand-shake, stabilizing your phone along the pan, tilt, and roll axes to deliver professional-looking, cinematic shots.

Most Portable Gimbal

If compact size is of utmost importance to you, I recommend the Feiyu VLOG Pocket 2. It is compact, lightweight at just over half a pound and folds for storage and travel. It features a quick toggle button to power the gimbal and change between lock and panning modes, and it allows you to quickly reset your smartphone in landscape or portrait mode.

This Feiyu Vlog Pocket 2 is a pocketable gimbal with unique features, which includes gesture control, zoom control, AI tracking, portrait mode, and auto hitchcock zoom. Additionally, It can directly control original camera and beauty App. A USB Type-C cable is included to charge the built-in lithium-ion battery in approximately 1.5 hours. The battery lasts approximately nine hours in operation. Also included is a mini tripod that attaches to the bottom 1/4″-20 mounting thread so you can stand the gimbal on a flat surface.

That being said, with its palm size but intelligent functions, the Feiyu VLOG Pocket 2 is an excellent choice for portable on-the-go use!

Most Affordable Gimbal

The Hohem iSteady Mobile Plus is an excellent smartphone gimbal for capturing smooth video with your phone while moving, walking, and running. All the controls are right there at the tip of your thumb and the 12 hour battery life lets you use this accessory for a long time before it needs to be recharged. In addition, the gimbal features a 4-way joystick for manual control, as well as a focus/zoom toggle switch that lets you control your smartphone’s lens.

There are clearly some aspects that could have been improved, such as replacing the microUSB port (with a type-C) or adding some locks for the arms, but condering the affordable price, quiet operation, and the ability to shoot smooth video, the Hohem iSteady Mobile Plus will absolutely be a worthy addition to your smartphone camera accessory kit.

The Zhiyun Smooth 4 is a seriously solid prosumer-style handheld stabilizer for smartphones with a lots of excellent features including a tactile focus/zoom wheel, a long battery life and two-way charging, though it has some weakness. Compared to the Smooth-3, the Smooth-4’s controls are more ergonomically laid out and better labeled with icons. The Smooth-4 also has a significantly larger focus/zoom wheel, a PhoneGo mode for quickly grabbing the action, multiple time-lapse functions, and object tracking.

In addition, powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, the Smooth-4 features a maximum runtime of up to 12 hours. With the ability to support smartphones weighing up to 7.4 oz (210 g) and measuring up to 3.35″ high, the Smooth-4 is compatible with many mobile phones but does NOT support very large/heavy phones (Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 227g).

The Zhiyun Smooth-5 is compatible with almost any mobile phone, it features durable magnetic steel motors, an improved battery life, and an extended 3-axis range. But, the Zhiyun-Tech Smooth-5 is not as portable as other gimbals and has an extensive number of controls, so there is a steep learning curve, but after that, it performs well and yields outstanding results. It is very close to a professional camera gimbal, with features like the rear Axis Arm structure and the large Focus/Zoom Control Wheel that are only found in camera gimbals.

A mini tripod is included to use the gimbal on a flat surface for steady shots or for when it is not in use. A USB Type-C charging cable is included to utilize the PD fast charge function for a quick two-hour charge, and it can also be charged while shooting using a separately available power bank.

The Smooth 5 is a perfect choice if you’re searching for that DSLR-esque vibe to your footage.
