Hohem, a renowned manufacturer of smartphone stabilizers, has introduced the latest addition to its product line – the iSteady X3. Designed with ease of use and versatility in mind, this compact three-axis gimbal is the ideal choice for aspiring filmmakers and mobile video enthusiasts looking for a reliable assistant for creative work on the move. One of the key innovations that the iSteady X3 brings is the detachable remote control. This makes taking selfies much easier, as it can be easily detached from the stabilizer body and used to trigger wireless recording from up to 10 meters away. This allows users to conveniently compose shots and pose without having to use the self-timer or ask for help from another person. The remote control is also equipped with a convenient magnetic mount. When the user attaches it back to the gimbal handle, it will instantly recharge. This eliminates the need to worry about the remote control’s battery life even during extended shooting. Great attention has also been paid to the integrated backlight, which gives users creative control over the lighting of the scene. The light has a unique double-sided design with a magnetic mount, which allows it to be easily rotated and used to illuminate the subject when shooting with both the front and rear cameras of the phone.

The magnetic design also ensures a secure attachment of the light and minimizes the risk of accidental release during use. The light offers three different color temperatures of 6500K (cool), 5000K (neutral) and 2700K (warm). This allows the user to easily adapt the character of the lighting to the type of scene and creative intent. There is also a continuous intensity control from 4 to 100%, which allows for fine-tuning the brightness using the side control. At the maximum setting, the light provides an impressive intensity of 120 lux at a distance of just 0.5 meters from the subject. This ensures excellent illumination even in low light conditions and helps to capture more details even in the dark. The iSteady X3 gimbal also impresses with its sophisticated and practical design. The retractable tripod is integrated directly into the stabilizer body, which provides the user with greater stability and freedom when shooting. It can easily capture time-lapse videos, group shots or shots from unusual angles. The tripod can be quickly extended or retracted as needed, so it does not interfere with normal handling. The gimbal design also includes a 205 mm telescopic pole.

This will be especially appreciated by creators of selfie videos, vlogs and group shots. The pole allows you to shoot from a greater distance and better capture all participants in the scene and the surrounding environment without the need to use an external selfie pole. The telescopic structure also provides easy length adjustment and compact dimensions for storage. The stabilizer has exceptional compatibility with a wide range of smartphones. Thanks to the increased torque of the motors, it can handle larger and heavier devices weighing up to 300 grams and a maximum thickness of 12.5 mm. It can also stabilize advanced phablets such as the iPhone 15 Pro Max or Huawei Mate 60 Pro without any problems. So you don't have to worry about limited usability due to the size of the phone. The advanced iSteady 8.0 algorithm ensures precise image stabilization. It analyzes data from built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers and evaluates and compensates for unwanted shakes and vibrations in real time. The result is smooth and professional-looking footage without shaking and blurring, even in challenging conditions such as walking in the field, shooting on the run, or using dynamic camera movements. A special feature of this model is also the intelligent face and object tracking functions.

Once activated, the gimbal automatically keeps the selected person or object in the center of the frame, even if the phone or target moves. This allows the user to focus on composing the scene and capturing unique moments, while the stabilizer ensures precise focus. The iSteady X3 also offers a set of preset templates for creating creative shots. These include effective camera zooms (dolly zoom), panoramic shots and tracking shots. Launching a template is a matter of a single tap, while the stabilizer itself performs the necessary movements and settings. Beginners and advanced users can easily try out advanced filmmaking techniques without the need for complex manual control. One of the important parameters of any portable device is battery life. In this regard, the iSteady X3 definitely does not disappoint. With balanced static use, the gimbal can operate for up to 11 hours on a single charge. If the user continuously uses the backlight at maximum intensity, the stabilizer will provide energy for approximately 4 hours of operation. This is more than enough for even the most demanding all-day shooting.

The battery is charged via a modern USB-C connector, and a full charge occurs in just 2 hours using a 5V adapter with a current of 2 A. The iSteady X3 gimbal is constructed from highly durable andlevel of lightweight composite materials. These guarantee not only low weight and compact dimensions, but also long service life and reliability even with frequent use in difficult conditions. The stabilizer can be easily folded into very economical dimensions of only 98 × 44 × 160.5 mm, so the user can conveniently store it in a pocket or bag and always have it at hand. At the same time, the iSteady X3 stabilizer does not lose any of its robustness and can operate reliably at temperatures from -10 °C to 45 °C. The manufacturer also thought about easy expandability and the possibility of connecting external accessories. The bottom of the stabilizer is equipped with a standard 1/4" thread hole. Thanks to this, the iSteady X3 can be attached to any tripod or holder, expanding its application possibilities. Users can easily shoot from very low positions, attach the gimbal to a tripod for better stability, or combine it with other equipment. The Hohem iSteady X3 stabilizer package includes everything you need for immediate use.

In addition to the gimbal itself, customers will also find a detachable remote control, magnetic backlight, USB-C charging cable, and a practical case that will reliably protect the stabilizer during transportation. The Hohem Joy mobile application is used for easy installation and control of advanced functions. It is free to download for both Android and iOS operating systems and offers an intuitive interface with a variety of creative modes and settings. The Hohem iSteady X3 stabilizer is designed to provide users with maximum creative freedom, ease of use, and professional results in a compact and easily portable design. Thanks to the advanced three-axis image stabilization, high load capacity, detachable controller, universal backlight, integrated tripod, telescopic selfie stick and a host of software features make it a versatile and reliable companion for any mobile filmmaker or photography enthusiast. With this gimbal, you can create impressive, cinematic-quality videos and photos without the need for heavy and expensive equipment. The iSteady X3 simply raises the bar for affordable stabilizers and convincingly proves that you can achieve results that are comparable to professional productions even with a smartphone.
