Okay, check this out. With this simple hand gesture, I can get this gimbal to track me as I move around, as you can

tell. There's no one controlling the gimbal; it's just AI being used to track me. So this is easily one of the coolest

features I have ever seen in a gimbal. And in this video, I'm going to show you exactly how it works, as well as the

other amazing features that make the Hohem iSteady X2 the perfect gimbal for solo content creators. [Music]

Wow! So the Hohem iSteady X2 is an incredible little gimbal that is really fun to use

and really easy to shoot with, especially if you're a solo content creator like myself. And it's packed with amazing

features. But before we get into those features, let me show you a quick overview of the gimbal straight out of the box. The Hohem

iSteady X2 feels premium; it's lightweight but sturdy, and it's comfortable to hold for a long period of time. One of the

standout features is the dual grip system. You can hold the gimbal in multiple ways, which is great for low

angle shots when you need extra stability, or you can use the included tripod legs to extend the grip or to put

it down and shoot, which is really handy when you're using the AI tracking feature, which I'll talk about in just a

bit. But it also has these built-in pull-out legs if you're not using the bigger tripod legs and you want to be

able to set it down. The Hohem iSteady X2 also has a built-in OLED screen where you can

customize the pan, tilt, and roll speeds, the shooting modes, and access other cool features. You can change the gimbal mode

with this button, start or stop recording when connected via cable or Bluetooth, and you have the joystick, which you can

used to control the gimbal's movements. There are also a few function buttons, which we'll talk about a bit later.

Well, it has a payload of 2 1/2 kg or 5 1/2 lb, and the battery lasts around 13

hours. I think that number is based on fairly light shooting, though, and I think you're more likely to get around 7 to 8

hours of battery life on a typical shoot. It also has quick charging, which allows you to fully charge the gimbal in around

90 minutes. It's easy to balance using the quick release system, and the axes have these little red markers, so once

you've balanced the gimbal with a specific camera and lens setup, you can then use these red markers to quickly

re-balance the gimbal when you're on the go. But let's talk about my favorite feature, which is the AI tracking

feature. The gimbal uses this little built-in camera to track you. All you need to do is triple-tap the F1 button

to activate the tracking, and you'll know it's activated when this little red light comes on. Now you can use hand

gestures, like the okay gesture, to start tracking, and you'll know it's working when the light goes green and the gimbal

will follow your movements. You can also start and stop recording using an open palm gesture. This is so cool if you're a

solo creator like me, because the gimbal essentially becomes an AI-powered camera operator, allowing you to move

around and get dynamic shots like this, all on your own. And another cool hand gesture is the L-shaped gesture for

custom framing that allows you to reframe the shot, which is handy if you don't want to be in the center of the

frame and you'd rather want to be off to the side like this. Another really handy feature is the A-B waypoints feature, which allows you to

Also, create some camera movements when shooting solo, as if you had a camera operator with you. It's really easy.

To do this, you just use the joystick to select your starting position. Long-press the A button to set the A position.

And then move the joystick to a new position and long-press the B button to set the B position on the touchscreen.

You can swipe from the right to access the A/B settings and change the attitude change time to however long you want it

to take to go from A to B. Then, by simply hitting A or B, you can move between

those positions to create shots like this. The electric magic wheel is a great way to get precise control of your pan,

tilt, or roll movements. You can hit this button next to the magic wheel to change between the roll, tilt, and pan axes. Every

time you press the button, you can see which will be affected by the magic wheel on the back of the OLED screen. I

love using this wheel to get precise, smooth movements, like tilting down to reveal a subject like this, or when

panning to follow a subject like this. The F-Sculpt 2 has five gimbal modes, giving you versatile control over how

you want the gimbal to respond to your movements. There is the pan follow mode where only the pan axis follows your

hand movements; the tilt and roll axes stay locked. You've got pan-tilt follow where both the pan and tilt axes follow

your hand movements, but the roll axis stays locked. This is my most used mode, by the way. FPV mode where all three axes,

pan, tilt, and roll, respond to your hand movements. Lock mode, which keeps the camera fixed in a single direction,

ignoring any hand movements. And then lastly, you've got follow mode where all the axes follow your hand movements at

High speed for fast, dynamic movements. There are really useful shooting modes in the scenarios menu which allow you to achieve really nice

movements or effects. You have the option to create a time-lapse, and I find it easier to control the settings using the

mobile app. Here you can choose between a hyperlapse, static time-lapse, or motion lapse. You can set the time frames per

second and the interval, and the gimbal will control the camera and shoot all the images you need. There is a great

auto-rotation feature. Instead of trying to control the roll axis yourself to get smooth barrel roll shots like this, you

can choose to rotate once or continuously, and it makes getting shots like this super quick and easy. You can

also shoot panoramic images, switch quickly to portrait mode for vertical shooting. Now is probably a good time to

mention that you can also remove the L-bracket if you want to mount the camera for vertical shooting, which is great if

you're specifically capturing vertical content. You can also enter selfie mode at the touch of a button or by triple

tapping the trigger. Lastly, there's this track video mode, and this is another mode where it's easier to control it

using the mobile app. What it allows you to do is to create a complex series of movements between waypoints, and you can

choose how long it takes to go from one point to the other and how long it holds. Therefore, again, this is useful if

you're a solo content creator. You can use this feature to plan out movements and get more dynamic shots of yourself

or by yourself. Let's get to the heart of any gimbal and answer the question: how good

is the stabilization? The SCORP 2 has a new algorithm to enhance its anti-shake performance, and I was really happy with

The results overall: the gimbal is responsive and the quality of the stabilization speaks for itself. So, who is this gimbal for?

As far as cons go with this gimbal, I can't really think of anything that I didn't like. It's a really, really nice gimbal.

The only thing that I found that didn't always work as seamlessly as it should is the gesture to reframe the shot.

Sometimes I'd have to perform the gesture a few times to get the reframing right, but man, that's really nitpicking

to find something to include here as a con. This is such an easy-to-use gimbal; it's such a great gimbal in the hands,

and it's got so many great features, especially for solo content creators and filmmakers. If you shoot content of

yourself, then this is probably the best choice there is out there for that purpose. If you're in the market for a

gimbal that delivers professional results without breaking the bank, the Scope 2 is definitely worth considering. Let me know your thoughts in the
