Hohem iSteady V3
A beginner-tier phone gimbal with a 0.3 kg payload, vertical shooting, and a built-in detachable remote, pitched at budget AI-tracking buyers and compact everyday vlogging. The detachable remote is the standout convenience for solo creators. It's lighter-duty than the M7, suiting minimalist phone use rather than heavier rigs, and edges its sibling as a reasonable value entry point.
