which gimbal for iPhone 15 Pro Max? how is iSteady?

[StoneJack]

I have used Smooth 4 gimbal but it gave me errors with 15 Pro Max (due to weight).
It is also very awkward to use and firmware is impossible to upgrade.
So I was thinking about the upgrading the gimbal and after some search found a iSteady (Hohem) product, what is your experience? I don't want DJI and Insta360 due to price and no more Zhiyun products for me.

Hi SJ:

I have given up using gimbals for iPhones. Try using the Black Magic Design application for your video work along with a cage. The BMD application is free and has an excellent stabilization algorithm. Plus, with the BMD application you can shoot HEVC with the log profile. I use a cage/grip manufactured by Newer for an iPhone 15 Pro. It was $89--a lot less expensive and less of a hassle than any gimbal.

Hope this helps.
