The Hohem iSteady M7 is a three-axis gimbal featuring iSteady’s latest technology. It offers full 360-degree rotation in the vertical axis and AI-powered subject tracking, so you can easily capture incredibly dramatic shots.

You can use the advanced AI-technology smartphone gimbal with most smartphones and virtually all photography and video apps. Supporting a range of smartphones like the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Samsung S24 Ultra, and capable of handling a payload of up to 17.64 ounces (500 grams), it includes a 7.6-inch (193mm) extension rod and fill lights. Its auto-tracking capability enables your mobile phone camera to follow you precisely and accurately as you shoot.

In addition, three-axis stabilization and a 1.4-inch touchscreen Remote Controller (not available on the previous M6 model) deliver a professional-grade shooting experience for capturing smooth and dynamic footage on the go.
Setting up the device is straightforward: Simply unfold the gimbal, extend the tripod legs, mount your iPhone in either landscape or portrait orientation and attach the magnetic AI tracker. The included remote control module can be used either attached to the gimbal or separately, and the device charges via USB-C.

One of the standout features of the Hohem iSteady M7 smartphone gimbal is the new, more-advanced magnetic AI tracker with CCT and RGB fill light, for a wide array of color and temperature correction. The Hohem iSteady M7 can recognize almost any subject: Dogs, cats, horses and people can be kept in frame and in focus. The system also responds to simple hand gestures when you’re 2 to 16 feet from the device. Make an “OK” signal to start tracking, show your palm to stop, and use thumb gestures to switch orientation.
The gimbal’s iSteady 9.0 antishake system, developed over a decade, provides three-axis stabilization for smooth footage. Its extended roll arm allows for improved wide-angle shots while keeping the motor out of frame. That makes it particularly effective for capturing action-packed sports footage.
Key features of Hohem iSteady M7 smartphone gimbal (and advantages over M6 model):

More about what you can do with Hohem iSteady M7 smartphone gimbal
The gimbal’s detachable touchscreen remote control is an innovative feature, offering control from up to 32.8 feet away. It attaches magnetically to the handle, where it doubles as a control panel and charges simultaneously. The integrated extension rod can stretch to 7.6 inches, perfect for selfies, aerial-style shots or low-angle filming. There’s also a screw hole for attaching additional extension rods.
Lighting is well-handled through the magnetic fill light on the AI tracker, which offers cool, warm and neutral options with bright illumination. A side wheel allows smooth brightness adjustment from 4% to 100%, making it ideal for nighttime shooting or maintaining consistent lighting for vlogs.
Solid battery life and helpful Hohem Joy app

Battery life of the Hohem iSteady M7 smartphone gimbal is impressive, lasting about 12 hours under optimal conditions. However, when using AI tracking and fill light simultaneously, users can expect more like three to four hours of continuous use. The entire unit is designed to be portable, folding down small enough to fit in a large pocket or bag.
To maximize the gimbal’s potential, users can download the free Hohem Joy app (available for iOS and Android). It provides additional creative shooting modes including panorama, time-lapse and slow motion. The app includes Moment creative templates for easily creating cinematic effects.
