Hohem Philippines
Hohem makes handheld gimbal stabilisers for smartphones and cameras, built around its iSteady stabilisation platform. Its distinguishing feature is AI subject tracking that works without pairing to a phone — a sensor on the gimbal itself detects and follows a person, so the camera keeps you in frame even when nobody is operating it.
The range covers smartphone gimbals from pocket-sized to full-featured, multi-purpose models that also take action cameras and mirrorless bodies, plus the accessories that go with them.
What Hohem is good at
- Solo filming — AI tracking keeps you centred with no second person and no app connection
- Detachable remotes — several models include a magnetic remote that works from a distance
- Built-in fill light — useful for indoor and evening filming without a separate light
- Multi-camera support — MT-series gimbals carry phones, action cameras, compacts and mirrorless
Worth knowing before you buy
Check the payload before choosing. Smartphone gimbals hold a phone and nothing heavier. If you shoot with a mirrorless camera, or expect to, an MT-series model carries up to 1.2kg and covers both.
Gimbals need balancing before use. Most take a minute once you know how, and the manual is worth reading before the first shoot rather than at the venue.
All Hohem products sold here carry a 1-year warranty and ship nationwide across the Philippines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Hohem gimbals different?
AI tracking that runs on the gimbal itself. A sensor detects and follows a subject without pairing to a phone app, so the camera keeps you in frame while you work alone. Most rival gimbals need a Bluetooth connection and their own app running to do the same thing.
Is VMI Direct an authorized Hohem distributor?
Yes. VMI Direct is an authorized Hohem distributor in the Philippines, so every gimbal we sell is genuine, ships nationwide and carries a 1-year local warranty handled by our team instead of an overseas seller.
Will a Hohem gimbal hold my camera?
Check the payload. Smartphone gimbals like the X3, V3 and M6 hold a phone only. If you shoot with a mirrorless camera, or expect to, the MT series carries up to 1.2kg and handles phones, action cameras, compacts and mirrorless bodies on the same unit.
Which Hohem should I buy for solo vlogging?
The M6 or M7 for phone filming, both with AI tracking and a fill light for indoor work. The V3 Ultra if you move around the room and need the camera to pan and follow. The iSteady MT3 if you also shoot with a camera rather than only a phone.
Do I need to balance a gimbal before using it?
Yes. A gimbal must be balanced with the camera or phone mounted before switching on, or the motors work against the weight and drain the battery. It takes a minute once learned, but read the manual before your first shoot rather than at the venue.
Does the fill light replace a proper video light?
For close-range work on faces, largely yes. The built-in light on the M6 softens shadows and adds a catchlight at arm's length. Lighting a room or a subject further away still needs a separate light.
What's the difference between the Hohem GO and a handheld gimbal like the M6?
The GO is a stationary desk-mounted tracking holder: it pans 360 degrees to keep you in frame for calls, live selling or tutorials, but it does not stabilize handheld movement and its own listing says it cannot track fast-moving subjects. A handheld gimbal such as the M6, V2S or Mobile Plus is 3-axis stabilized for walking or moving shots.
Which Hohem gimbals have AI tracking without needing a phone app?
The GO, M6 and V2S track using a built-in sensor activated by gesture, with no Bluetooth pairing or app required. The Mobile Plus, M7, V3 and V3 Ultra rely on the Hohem Joy app or a physical remote for their tracking and extra shooting modes.
Is the Hohem MIC-01 lavalier mic compatible with both iPhone and Android?
Yes, it is sold with either a Lightning receiver (iPhone) or a USB-C receiver (Android and other Type-C devices). A separate USB-C to Lightning adapter, not included, is needed for iPads and the iPhone 15 series per the product listing.
Are any Hohem gimbals splash-resistant for outdoor Philippine use?
Only the iSteady Mobile Plus listing states a water-resistance rating (IPX4, splash-proof from any direction). None of the other Hohem gimbal listings in this collection state a rating, so treat them as not weatherproof and keep them out of rain.
