Hohem iSteady MT2: What to Know
Hohem's official product page lists the iSteady MT2 at a maximum payload of 1,200 g (1.2 kg) with a gimbal body weight of approximately 653 g, notably lighter than any other model in this guide, including the DJI RS 4 Mini. That lower payload ceiling reflects its different target use case: rather than being built primarily for full mirrorless-and-lens combinations like the DJI RS 4 or Zhiyun Weebill 3S, the MT2 is marketed as a "4-in-1" stabilizer meant to also handle smartphones, action cameras, and compact cameras through Hohem's Multi 4.0 Arca-Swiss-compatible quick-release system.
Battery runtime is rated by Hohem at up to 17 hours in standard stabilization mode, dropping to roughly 6-8 hours with the AI tracker and fill light both active at high brightness, worth noting because that's a meaningfully wider range than the single-number runtime figures other manufacturers in this guide publish, and it reflects how much the onboard AI tracking and lighting features draw down the battery. The listed "4-in-1" compatibility means a full-frame mirrorless body with a longer lens will likely exceed its 1.2 kg ceiling even though the listing title says "mirrorless" compatible, that claim applies to smaller mirrorless bodies with light primes, not larger setups.
Hohem's spec sheet also lists a magnetic AI tracker that the company says works independently, without requiring a Bluetooth connection or a companion phone app, functionally similar in concept to the FeiyuTech SCORP 2's onboard tracking, though Hohem's implementation is a physically separate magnetic module rather than a sensor built into the gimbal head itself. It adds a built-in RGB fill light with 360 color options and a 2700K-6500K color-temperature range, an OLED display, and what Hohem calls its "iSteady 7.0" anti-shake processing.
Against the other four gimbals here, the iSteady MT2 is the clear choice only if your primary camera setup, or your need to also stabilize a phone or action cam on the same rig, fits within its 1.2 kg payload; for a standard mirrorless body with a mid-size zoom, the FeiyuTech SCORP 2 or Zhiyun Weebill 3S will have more headroom.
