The operation panel of Hohem M5 handheld stabilizer provides four shooting modes (which can be switched by one key to make the control of heading, pitch and roll more flexible), as follows:

① RF mode: following the course. When the lens of the mobile phone or camera moves and rotates with the manual direction, the pitch and roll axes are locked, and the shooting picture is more stable. It is often used to record daily life. Vlog records and other shooting effects are more shocking.

② In PTF mode, the heading and pitch follow. The lens of the mobile phone or camera will translate and pitch with the manual direction, but the roll axis is locked. The advantage of this is that the following effect is very good when shooting panorama (panorama shooting).

③ L mode, that is, full lock mode, the lens of the mobile phone or camera is always kept in the same direction for shooting, with the choice of time-lapse photography, you can take a picture of time travel.

④ POV mode, pitch, heading, roll all follow the shooting, which can bring the most realistic first perspective shooting picture.

With the help of these different shooting modes, besides daily video shooting, you can also shoot cool video effects, such as Inception, Hitchcock, panoramic effects and so on.

Hohem M5 handheld stabilizer uses orthogonal 3-axis design, at the same time, through the powerful brushless motor, stable three-axis motor and the newly developed iSteady6.0 stabilization algorithm, it can shoot smooth picture quality, and capture the stable picture of motion, making M5 achieve professional anti-shake.

Do not use the Hohem M5 stabilizer, directly with the mobile phone shooting experience, the video can be seen in the process of running forward, there is a slight shaking left and right, the picture is somewhat cut.

With the Hohem M5 stabilizer turned off to enhance the anti-shake, the video shows that the running process is very stable, there is no shaking left and right, the viewing angle is wider, and the anti-shake effect is very good.

Of course, if it is used with Hohem "Hohem Joy" App, the effect is the best; the orientation on the APP interface provides settings, lens conversion, and flash camera settings; and the orientation design under the interface is the core area. Commonly used functions, such as slow motion, time-lapse photography, photography, video recording, Moment, etc., are available for users to use in different scenes to get a more shocking visual sense.

Inception:

After selecting Inception in Moment mode and clicking Start, the course axis and pitch axis of Hohem M5 stabilizer will automatically rotate, just move vertically, and the rotation process is smooth and stutter-free. Inception is my favorite, through the rotary shooting of the subject and the environment, forming the contrast between the subject and the environment, which is an indispensable means to highlight the subject and create a sense of space.

Hohem M5 has a three-axis design of 600 ° course axis, 320 ° roll axis and 320 ° pitch axis, which realizes a large range of controllable angles and a larger operation space. Professional video photographers can operate more mirrors through the vast M5. The 600 ° heading axis can also bring more fantastic shooting effects to video creators. With Hohem M5, we can shoot 600 ° Inception videos.

Hitchcock:

Compared with Inception, the zoom shooting technique is more sophisticated than the photographer's zoom technique. In Moment mode, Hitchcock is selected. After locking the subject, the zoom operation is carried out by moving the dial wheel while retreating at a uniform speed. In the actual experience, most beginners will have the problem of zoom image stuttering. I believe that after diligent practice, they can shoot the perfect Hitchcock zoom.

Panoramic ring shot:

Select panoramic shooting in Moment mode, put Hohem M5 stabilizer in the area you want to shoot, if you don't want to hold it, you can install a tripod to shoot. In particular, panoramic shooting needs to place the object to be shot within the shooting range of the stabilizer to prevent the failure of panoramic shooting.

Dream rotation:

For the dream rotation, when we aim at the object we need to shoot, after choosing the dream rotation in Moment mode, the stabilizer will automatically rotate, and the picture will be full of rhythm, very cool.

Hohem M5 Stabilizer provides both a good feel and a stable picture; excellent anti-shake system Hohem M5 can easily realize the shooting mode of one mirror to the end, and can complete a series of operations from vertical shooting to horizontal shooting to low-angle shooting in one breath. With the support of the anti-shake system, Hohem M5 realizes the smooth operation of the mirror without dead angle, such as up and down, left and right, push-pull, panning and so on, which makes it easier to shoot high-quality video.
