 Hello everyone, this is Amit Don of AmitDon.com Today I'll have another episode of unboxing and review video and I'll be opening the iSteady Pro 2 gimbal by Hohem. Gimbals have come a long way and this is comparatively in your technology. The prices have come down from thousands of dollars to hundreds of dollars and this is the cheapest gimbal I can find which was specifically made for action camera. So the gimbal you're looking at is the iSteady Pro 2. There are other types of gimbals which you can buy. Some of them are for smartphone, some of them are for action camera and some for point and shoot cameras or small mirrorless camera. So I'll open this gimbal and I'll show you some sample clips as well and then I'll give you my non-affiliated, unbiased and honest opinion whether this gimbal is at the price or this is not a good product. And this was purchased with my own money. This is not a paid review or affiliated review. There are no affiliated links. So let's open up the box and then we'll take a look at it. Box looks like slightly damaged in the shipping but I don't think that's going to affect the product inside. So we'll start opening this from here. So it looks like we have a hardcover box inside and the box right now is empty. So the case is not bad at all. It's very light and I opened the case and then we have instruction manuals here of set it aside and looks like this is what we have in here. So we have the gimbal which is right here and then we have the tripod which is right here and then we have just two pieces of cables to help with the gimbal. I'll set this aside here and the box is empty. I have had a few days to try and test the iSteady Pro 2 gimbal and I'll go through over some of the problems or difficulties I faced with this iSteady Pro 2. I'm not going to show you how the switch works or all the button works because you can find this in any other video but what I'll tell you you'll not find this anywhere else. So let's look at it some of the problems that I faced using this gimbal. So the first thing I had difficulty sometimes when you turn this on. So for example I'm going to turn this on right now. So right now you can see that the camera is facing you which is right here but from time to time the camera will just flip and then I have had a hard time you know putting it back in the right way. So once it gets flipped or turned upside down then you know it's difficult to adjust it back to normal position. So that's one of the problems I had. The second difficulty I have had with this gimbal is that if you take a look at the gap right here. So if you push the camera all the way up to here then you know you're not going to able to turn it on and off because the turn on and off button is right here and it's going to be hidden here. So what the way I solved it I you know I pushed it all the way up to here and then there's a gap in here which let's me use the turn on and off button. So that's a designing flaw because you know the camera should be positioned all the way up to here but if you do that then you know you're not going to be able to use it turn it on or off so that's another flaw I believe shouldn't be this way. And the third flaw I noticed is that the app the app works but it has lots of problems. For example when I was trying to do motion time lapse videos then the app it's not that you know the app doesn't work but I have had a hard time connecting the app to the Bluetooth to turn on the motion time lapse and other settings because sometimes the app just doesn't work you know you have to just keep trying trying and then sometimes like you know you want to do things faster but it will slow you down. But at the end it works but you know it's not an easy app to use and they should improve the app so you know it's more user friendly and you don't have to just like you know keep trying and trying. Sometimes even I had to restart my phone like you know couple of times just to make the app work so that's another difficult point I had with the skimble. But except these three I have nothing else to mention that you know I didn't like overall it works. This is a very like you know inexpensive gimbal and I believe you're not going to find any other gimbal at this price point so I have no complaints about anything else and the three problems I mentioned they are like you know you can work with them. I have to just like you know use a few tricks or sometimes they're time consuming to like you know adjust it and get over those three difficult points the gimbal has. So that's what I made my take on this. In terms of like you know pricing and if this is a good value I would say definitely. I kind of right now hope to making a motion timelapse clips and I'm attaching motion timelapse clips to some of my videos and without this gimbal this is not going to be possible to make a motion timelapse because that's one of the best features of the skimble and I'm gonna have to say that you know that's the most feature I'll be using with the skimble the motion timelapse so I'm going to show you some clips of motion timelapse and the gimbal using the gimbal when I was on a bike and I was just like you know walking with the gimbal and you will be able to see the video quality and like you know the how well it's performing but I would say that you know it definitely makes a difference adding the camera's own image stabilization plus the gimbals image stabilization and so in terms of like you know if you consider how much you're paying and what you're getting so definitely it's buying a gimbal if you are a content creator or if you just want to have some fun again this is not paid or affiliated review there's no affiliated links or anywhere I purchased this with my own money so let's go back let's move to the video examples of the skimble so thank you for watching forget about subscribing this channel forget about liking this video I'll see you shortly
