In 2022, the Red Dot Design Award went to Hohem iSteady V2, the first smartphone stabilizer with facial tracking.
For those who don’t know, the Red Dot Award is an international design competition for product, communication, and concept design. For good design, it is one of the most sought-after certifications.
China-based Hohem Tech is the manufacturer of the Hohem iSteady V2, which is a top-selling gimbal in the world. The ‘Bionic Owl design’ is an inspiration for the stabiliser, which has strong AI recognition, rapid tracking, and automated following as standout features.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tracking
Because of its AI tracking, the Hohem iSteady V2 can keep track of a subject’s head and body even if they are looking in the opposite direction. Other gestures can be used to stop the smart tracking functionality or rotate the phone from landscape to portrait.
The gimble can do a variety of other exciting functions, including inception mode, object tracking mode, gesture controls for taking images, dolly zoom, panoramic video mode, and more.
Design Features
The iSteady V2 is equipped with a wrap-around fill light and a unique diamond prism design that generates three levels of customizable natural soft light.
An anti-shake algorithm and a lens’ field of view (FOV) tuned to deliver accurate visual identification enhance the iSteady V2’s adaptability.
Folding it down to 7 inches makes it compact and provides you access to a variety of different shooting modes, such as hand-held video.
In addition, it has a leather-textured ergonomic handle for all-day shooting pleasure.
With a weight of 263 grams, the iSteady V2 is a great option for creating web movies because of its non-slip grip. It has a 9-hour battery life and can also charge a smartphone.

The Hohem iSteady V2 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphone with AI Tracking Sensor is currently available from official store at $124.
