Hey Guys, Its Vera From Rudy Visuals

and in this video we’re going to be reviewing the Hohem Ice Daddy V2 smartphone Gimbal with the optional extendable tripod and wireless remote control kit. I’ve had this gimbal for a few weeks now and I’ve been very impressed by its Ai features which allow the gimbal to track your movement as well as offer some additional control options for switching the gimbal between the horizontal and vertical modes. This smartphone Gimbal is pretty much perfect for those times when you’ve got no one to help you out and you’re filming solo, but for example, when you want to get some behind the scenes footage. This is perfect it will keep you in the frame and it will follow your movements and the ai tracking even comes in handy. In video calls I’ve been using this a lot to chat with my.

it did a great job at keeping me in the frame now before I continue. I just want to mention that Hohem did reach out to us and send us the Isaiah V2 for free, but us always our opinions and reviews are fully independent. So price wise. The isd V2 is priced at 129 and the optional extendable tripod and remote control kit is 29. 99.

This Is Not The Cheapest Smartphone

Gimbal out there right now and it’s priced in the upper bracket of smartphone gimbals, but its ai features really do justifies the price tag and it would suit those of you who want a more reliable gimbal with some very interesting features so here I’ve got the box and I have to say I really like the way it’s packaged. It’s great how everything is neatly contained and not. Just thrown on top of the gimbal so for me that’s always a good sign when companies make that extra effort so first up. We get this welcome card that has the activation instructions on it. You need to activate the gimbal V4.

You Can Use It Which Is Very Quick.

All you need to do is download the hohen pro app and connect it to the gimbal via bluetooth after that you need to register an account and you’re ready to go next. We have this box that contains the instructions, a wrist strap and a soft carry bag for the gimbalNK] followed by the gimbal itself, a little tripod stand and a type C to type C charging cable and this UsB C to UsB a adapter. In terms of the build quality of the iste DV2. The body of the gimbal is primarily made of plastic.

Plastic But Thats The Case For The Majority

of smartphone gimbals out there, but despite that it still feels fairly sturdy. It isn’t a cheap feeling plastic and the gimbal itself weighs 263 grams and has this neat foldable design, which I’m a very big fan of. Since it makes it so much easier to carry around and even it fits in some pockets. The back of the gimbal has the soft touch textured plastic on it which does a pretty decent job at improving handling. However, I do wish that it was a rubber pad instead as that would be even more comfortable in my opinion.

However, The Phone Clamp Of The

gimbal is padded with a good amount of rubber to prevent your phone from being scratched. My only problem with this clamp is that it’s a little too strong, so mounting the phone can feel a bit. Awkward, especially when you’re trying to do it on the go and you’ve got like things in your hands and you’re juggling them trying to get your phone in this clamp. I guess this does make your phone more secure in the clamps, which is definitely a good thing, but I do wish it was easy to open it maybe by having some additional tabs on the back to grip it better or something like that on the handle. You have your standard button layout.

There Is A Joystick That Controls The

movement of the gimbal, a record button and a power button. The power button can also be used to manually flip between the horizontal and vertical shooting modes and on the left. There is a wide tight slider that works with the Hohen pro app to digitally zoom in and on the right side. There is a bi-directional. Port that can be used as an emergency power bank now performance wise.

The Icd V2 Offers Some Good Specs

with its payload of 100 to 280 grams, which covers a wide range of most modern smartphones and it’s capable of handling heavy phones such as this Samsung s21. Ultra the Gimbal can also be flipped upside down so you get those cool low to the ground shots much easier the eye steady. V2 also features an anti-shake system to help stabilize footage and overall from my filming with it. I was able to get lots of smooth and stable footage. Whether I was at walking pace or running, and it also worked well when filming static panning and moving forward and back shots at the top of the clamp is where you have your ai vision sensor which I’ll discuss in a moment and an led light with three.

Levels Of Brightness The Light Itself Is Pretty

small, but it still provides you a little bit of light to keep your face well exposed. I’ll put up some comparison photos right here bear in mind that using the Ai sensor and av light contrasting cut down on the battery life. On average the battery should last you 9 hours, but using the Ai sensor cuts it down to 4 and using the led light at the same time will further cut it down to 2 hours. What makes this gimbal really stand out, though is the really cool Ai features of the i-steady V2. You can use different hand gestures to tell the sensor to start and stop tracking you and you can quickly switch between the vertical and horizontal modes.

The Response Times Of The Gimbal Are

really good and the tracking works really great unless you rapidly. out of the frame. The best part about the Ai sensor is that it works independently of the Hohem app, so you can actually use it with pretty much any app. You want like Zoom, Skype, Whatsapp etc. And the Ai sensor doesn’t actually require a bluetooth connection at all times.

Unless You Want To Change The Settings

of it which you can do through the Hohem app. The app itself is pretty standard for a smartphone Gimbal and it offers some additional shooting modes such as dolly Zoom, inception, panoramic video and amazingly named fantastic rotation. Some modes are better than others in my opinion, but it’s always nice to have those creative options regardless. My only issue with this app is that at launch there is an unskippable ad, so you do have to wait a couple of seconds before you can actually start shooting it can get.

Pretty Annoying Especially Since This Is A

pretty pricey smartphone Gimbal So you don’t really expect to have to deal with things like that lastly let’s have a look at the extendable tripod and the wireless remote control kit. This is pretty much a selfie stick attachment for the gimbal that gives you some extra shooting options. It looks a little bit like a police button and the remote itself is this little tiny thing right here. It has a range of 10 meters, but bear in mind that you can only use it with the hohem pro app.

The Tripod Extends To 51 Centimeters, Which

is an okay height for most use cases when fully extended it does feel a little bit unstable. So I’ll be a bit wary of using it in windy weather and if possible, I’ll try to weigh it down with a bag or something. Like that in my opinion, the kit isn’t really an essential unless you really want the wireless remote control So in summary, the i30v2 is a good choice for those of you who want some cool Ai features which are really the unique setting point of this Gimbal and can come in really handy and useful for those of you who do a lot of vlogging and live streaming. The response times are great and the Gimbal itself overall performs pretty well with smartphones on the heavier and bigger side.

So Its Definitely Getting A Recommendation
