Hohem iSteady M7
A beginner-tier smartphone gimbal with a roughly 500 g payload, AI subject tracking, a detachable touchscreen remote, and a built-in fill light, plus vertical shooting. It packs tracking and lighting into one kit for phone creators. It's strictly phone-only, so mirrorless and DSLR bodies are out — a feature-forward but entry-level device.
