Review summary

Overall, Hohem Pro is hampered by recurring app reliability and compatibility issues that overshadow its potential hardware stabilization. Top recurring pain points include Bluetooth connectivity problems, frequent app crashes after updates, and video recording/save failures leading to lost footage. Firmware updates often freeze or fail to load, sometimes rendering the gimbal useless within the app. The user interface is clunky and features are missing or inconsistent (e.g., audio in videos, front-camera reversal). Some reviewers note the hardware stabilizer works when the app behaves, but many reports indicate continued instability, especially on newer iPhone models or with iSteady X.

Pros

The gimbal hardware provides basic stabilization when used with the iPhone camera app.
Some reviewers report it works for basic use or initial setup.

Cons

Bluetooth connectivity problems and features that don’t work after months of use.
Frequent app crashes and instability after updates.
Video recording and saving issues, including 'video save failed' and missing footage.
Firmware updates frequently freeze or fail to load, sometimes rendering the gimbal unusable.
Poor app UI/UX with missing features, confusion, small recording controls, and issues like reversed front-camera video.
Compatibility issues with newer iPhone models and certain devices (e.g., iSteady X).

2023-08-09	To*****	First initial connect was the only time this gimbal worked. I didn’t receive my email with the “code” to delete my account. Do not recommend this app, product, or company.

2023-03-02	Ca*****	Like the title said. It would beep randomly and try to reconnect. Sometimes it fails and disconnects entirely. Even if the batteries have a charge or plugged into the wall while in use. Bringing things into view for a closeup would not focus, and if you did, the auto focus would not refocus when bring the object further. Would be nice if there could be a blur background filter.

2023-01-28	Un*****	The gimble flips around like a fish, gets limited capacity for smooth movement, and the first time it was charged longer than I could keep an eye on it suddenly doesn’t hold any charge or work very well.

2023-01-08	Ta*****	The app is clunky and difficult to navigate. None of the videos has sound. And the FAQ link doesn’t bring to a place where users ask questions, it’s just another video. I’ll be returning this gimbal just because the app is garbage.

2022-11-12	Ge*****	We are YouTubers so our content is everything. When we spend a lot of time and money to record a video then find that the audio gets out of sync as the video progresses. It’s so frustrating, and unreliable. We have iPhones and don’t know if it’s a specific setting like 30fps vs 60fps, but now and then our videos audio just get so horribly out of sync trailing the video by a good 2-3 seconds almost. The longer the video the worse it gets. iPhone itself records just fine with the native camera app. So it has to be this gimbal app doing it. Please fix this and let us know what the issue is or was so we can avoid it!!! Useless otherwise

2022-07-31	co*****	Won’t let me use my isteady x until I do a firmware update, but the firmware update is frozen. 1 out of 5. Would give 0 if possible.
