hohem announces AI auto-tracking professional smartphone gimbal

hohem released a new generation of AI auto-tracking professional smartphone gimbal, the iSteady M6. The iSteady V2, which was launched in 2021 and featured the AI auto-tracking system, was awarded the coveted Red Dot Design Award in 2022.

After enhancement, the iSteady M6’s AI auto-tracking system is now even more sensitive and swift due to its advanced algorithm and upgraded axes angle, the company says. There is no need for an additional app for using the tracking, which are controlled by gestures.  Additionally, the iSteady M6 AI tracks the face and can also track the overall human shape. Thus, it can continue to track even if the subjects wear a face mask or turn their back or side toward the gimbal.

The iSteady M6 AI auto-tracking module is attached magnetically and can be swapped effort for shooting with the front or rear cameras. This AI auto-tracking system module can be attached magnetically, and it also features a fill light function, supporting two fill light modes: CCT cool and warm lighting and RGB ambient lighting.

iSteady M6’s axes design is also upgraded. It supports unrestricted 360° panning.  The tilt and roll axis coverage had been extended to 335°, thereby enabling a wide degree of freedom for camera movements. More importantly, apart from the classic mode (the daily shooting mode), there is a newly added ultra-wide-angle mode.

Additionally, it is fitted with a more powerful motor with higher torque which enables iSteady M6 to carry a load of up to 400 g. The load of iSteady M6 applies to various high-end smartphones in the market, but it could also accommodate all kinds of accessories. iSteady M6 equips four expansion 1/4 screw ports that can accept a range of professional accessories. iSteady M6 further improved the battery life by up to 18 hours in the static mode or 6 hours in the full-function operating mode (with the AI auto-tracking and fill light features turned on).
