The all-plastic body no doubt helps it shed a few ounces but it doesn’t put its build quality in the same league as some of the more expensive stabilizers. Those often feature rubberized grips or aluminum alloy bodies, but no such luxury is present on the iSteady X. This is a common issue on some phone and gimbal combinations, so it’s nice that I didn’t encounter anything getting in the way of the shot across the three phones I tested the gimbal with. Without the filter attached, it balances just fine, even with such a large phone. I can even keep my 17-52mm thread adapter attached so I don’t lose it.

Innovative Foldable Design】Hohem iSteady X, a foldable 3-axis gimbal stabilizer for smartphones. The weight of this foldable gimbal is only 0.57 lbs. Inception mode isn’t quite as full-featured as we’ve seen in larger gimbals, but that’s to be expected on a folding smartphone gimbal. They’re not designed to spin a full 360° in all three axes, but they do have a pretty decent amount of rotation to let you shoot a short inception clip.With the iSteady X, I can shoot using any aspect ratio, resolution and frame rate supported by the camera and get buttery stabilization. This comes in very handy when shooting with the ultra-wide lens, on either phone, since that one does not have any built-in optical stabilization. The improvement in video quality provided by the gimbal is very obvious, even in static handheld shots. It was a little tilted right out of the box after activating and powering it up, but tapping the power button five times sends it into auto-calibration mode. This takes around 40 seconds to complete, and you’ll see your phone bounce around a little, and switch between horizontal and vertical a couple of times, but when it was completed, everything was perfectly level. Compatible with iPhone 11, iPhone 11 pro, iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus But it has its power button on the side right where the hook of the head grips your smartphone. This means that sometimes, it will accidentally press the power button and turn the phone off while you’re in the middle of doing something. It’s not the worst design I’ve seen, though. Overall the app doesn’t haven’t the polish and refined user experience of the DJI Mimo app, but it’s on par and in some cases better than other gimbal apps. iSteady X vs iSteady Mobile Plus

Google Pixel 4XL/ Pixel 4/ Pixel 3/ Pixel 2/ Pixel2 XL/ Pixel/ Pixel XL/ Nexus 6/ Nexus 6p/ Nexus 5x Bluetooth Connection on gimbal, microphone and smartphone, easy to use with simple control buttons. The iSteady X (below) is much more compact than an average-sized smartphone gimbal (above) Stabilization PerformanceNot only does it enable the zoom slider to function, but it also allows you to film with a number of unique templates that can only be accomplished with a gimbal. Most of these are accessed in the app’s moment mode: There’s no argument that the iSteady X works well for the price and that the app is one of the most fully-featured on the market.
