Product Information

I’m not sure it’s possible to create a truly universal mounting system that works for all phones, but I know it didn’t work well for mine. That said, I tried it for an iPhone SE and it worked fine. The mounting is solid and pretty easy to use. If you want even more features for selfies and motion controls, consider the Zhiyun Tech Smooth XS Smartphone Gimbal. It has a ton of features for filming yourself, which makes it a perfect choice for streamers. Then again, it’s not really an action cam.

The first thing you’ll notice is the phone mounting clamp. This is used no matter what configuration you’re using the device in, since it’s necessary to hold your phone. It’s capable of securing pretty much any modern phone, including any Samsung or iPhone. It can actually be used in two different ways. First, the clamps can be opened wide, and because they’re spring-loaded, they’ll pull tight to your phone. They’ve got rubber pads on the inside, so you don’t have to worry about your case getting scratched. The clamps are also slotted, so you can pop your phone into the slots. This is no good for action shots, but it’s useful for some tabletop applications. The base of the clamp plays host to the power button, along with a few small indicator lights. The iSteady Q has a battery capacity of 460mAh, which is sufficient for three hours of continuous use. This is only a rough estimate, since a lot depends on how you’re using it. There’s a special, power-saving mode that will deactivate the motors and more than triple your battery life. In this mode, it won’t stabilize or rotate your phone, but you can still use the remote control. It requires Android 4.3 or above. Compatible with VIVO X21A,VIVO X6L, VIVO X9, VIVO Y85A, Huawei P10, Huawei Mate7, Huawei Hornor V10 , Huawei P20 Pro, Huawei VNS-TL00, Huawei P20, Huawei Hornor 9, Samsung S9, Samsung S8+, Samsung note8, Samsung S6, Samsung S8, Samsung S5, OPPO R7, OPPO R11, SONY Z1, SONY Z2, SONY Z3, Meizu, Meizu note6, Xiaomi 8, Xiaomi 6X, Xiaomi 5, Xiaomi NOTE3.Turn on the iSteady Q first. Press the power button 7 times to enter the pairing mode, and the working mode indicator light flashes alternately in yellow and green. If you need more battery life, take a look at the Hohem Mobile Plus. It has a battery life of up to 12 hours, and can even function as a power bank. It also has more action functions. On the other hand, it’s not extendable, and it’s twice as expensive. Final Verdict

Hohem iSteady Q, an affordable multipurpose selfie stick

Charging takes only 45 minutes using the included USB to USB Type-C power cord. That said, you have to be careful about what kind of charger you plug it into. In a normal, 5V/2.4V USB port, it will charge just fine. But you don’t want to use any high-powered QC ports. If the battery gets a charge of more than 20 watts, it can be permanently damaged. This was a bit disappointing, since a halfway-decent BMS system would protect against over-voltage. In the app, we have many shooting modes, such as slow-motion, time lapse, photo, video, and moment. Then turn on the remote control. Pairing is complete in about 1 second, and the working mode indicator light stays on green.

Design

Detachable Remote Control : Take a selfie or video remotely, control the direction of the camera, do auto-rotate effect, switch between landscape and portrait mode, zoom in and out. In the settings, we can change a video resolution, choose a grid, zoom speed, timer and turn on/off professional mode. So far, so good. But what happens when you open it up?
