Payload is the specification, and balancing is the skill it demands · review
A 3-axis gimbal for action cameras up to 150 grams, with Bluetooth shutter control for GoPros, IPX4 splash protection and up to 14 hours of battery, for about $99.
The iSteady Pro 4 is sized for GoPro, DJI and Insta360 action cameras, with a 150-gram payload listed. A spring-loaded clip mounts a camera in about three seconds.
Bluetooth links to GoPro HERO3 through HERO13 for shutter control. Hohem says Bluetooth draws less power than the Wi-Fi connection used before.
Up to 14 hours of runtime is quoted, and the gimbal can charge the camera while filming. An IPX4 rating covers rain and snow.
The GoPro model costs about twice as much, adds phone support and AI tracking, but does not publish a payload. For an action camera alone, the Hohem is the simpler buy.
