Overview
A motorized 3-axis phone gimbal with AI subject tracking, aimed at creators who want hands-free framing while walking, running or filming solo.
The iSteady V3 Ultra tracks a face, pet or object with 360 degree panning so the shot stays framed without a second person operating the camera. A detachable 1.22 inch touchscreen remote controls tracking and settings from up to 33 feet away, and a built-in fill light with adjustable brightness and color temperature covers indoor or low-light scenes. It folds to 6.3 inches and runs on the Hohem Joy app for templates and creative modes.

Questions about the Hohem handheld gimbals & stabilizers
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
How heavy a phone can the hohem iSteady V3 Ultra hold?
It is rated for phones up to 14.11 oz including the case, so check your phone's weight before buying if you use a heavy case.
Does the AI tracking work without the remote attached?
The remote detaches and still controls tracking and settings from up to 33 feet away, so it does not need to stay mounted on the gimbal.
Is the fill light adjustable?
Yes, both brightness and color temperature can be tuned remotely through the built-in fill light.
