Can This Tiny Gimbal Make Cringe Footage Look Cinematic? – Hohem M7 Review

This entire video was shot using just a smartphone and the Hohem iSteady M7 gimbal. From chaotic edits with my kids to cinematic push-ins, orbits, and follow shots—this little gimbal held up surprisingly well.

In this video, I break down the key features like AI tracking (no app needed), detachable touchscreen remote, 360° infinite rotation, and even the built-in RGB fill light—all while filming real, unscripted moments.
