They were recently at the CES 2020 (January 7-10) where they drew great attention to their innovative and all-new smartphone gimbal iSteady X.

The following is from Hohem’s official press release:

Hohem iSteady X Press Release

iSteady X, which will be officially launched in February 2020, is designed to solve the pain points of users with a foldable design and multiple creative functions like a 15-second video sharing button. Here are some highlights of the product.

The lightest

iSteady X stands out among others for it is the world’s first lightweight handheld smartphone gimbal. Compared to traditional smartphone gimbals, iSteady X weighs only 249g, making it the world’s lightest three-axis smartphone gimbal. The lighter weight makes it easier to record your everyday life and journey.

Smaller

The foldable design makes iSteady X more compact and streamlined. Measuring only the size of a palm when folded up, it is convenient for users to carry around, hold in their hands, or put in their pockets, making it the ideal gadget for vloggers or those who like shooting with their smartphones.

Moment Mode, New Community APP

iSteady X has a set of buttons that allow users to instantly master the operation without pre-learning. Just by pressing one button, users can launch multiple modes including Moment Mode, Face-Tracking iSteady X is equipped with first-class anti-shake movement, the newest anti-shake algorithm iSteady, and the enhanced motor control scheme, so as to support a maximum load of 280g.

Compact, Lightweight Gimbal

So Hohem are joining the current smartphone gimbal trend for lightweight and compact devices. The device’s weight of 249 grams puts it 23 grams below the vlog pocket (272 grams). The market leaders in lightweight gimbals (Smooth Q2 and Osmo Mobile 2) weigh 430 grams and 405 grams, respectively.

The Hohem iSteady X is also a folding gimbal, making it more compact. Meanwhile, the max payload of 280 grams puts it each with the Hohem iSteady Pro. But above the Smooth Q2 and Osmo Mobile 3 (both can handle about 230 grams).

There’s no information on price, but Hohem are usually pretty competitive in that area.
