my first use of Hohem iSteady mobile gimbal with Android Galaxy phone & DIY mic wind sock experiment
I bought a Hohem iSteady mobile 3 axis gimbal to use with my old Android Galaxy S5 phone. This video shows my very first use of the gimbal. I have a splitter attached to the side of my phone that I use to insert an external lavaliere microphone. The weight of this microphone and splitter may unbalance the phone a little. I was happy with the motion I got from the gimbal but it was a little jittery at times and I wonder if the mic was not causing some of it. I also think I can probably walk more smoothly and get better results. This was my first attempt and I am sure I will get better results as I use it more.
My phone is old so I could not use the zoom function offered by the gimbal and for some reason, I could not take a photo using the gimbal control, but I did use the other functions. Even if I do not improve the stability of my phone with the gimbal through more practice the end result is so much better than using the phone without a stabilizer. Walking while taking video with my old phone makes for unbearable to watch video.
As for my audio experiment, I took the phone outside in fairly strong winds in the hallways of the building where the wind was being funneled. Using a sock over the mic in my glasses case in my shirt pocket did provide additional relief from the wind gusts but I could still hear a little wind. Actually, the little foam cover does a decent job of keeping the wind out of the mic. I think I would have gotten close to similar results with the mic in my pocket glass case without the sock. If there was a way to keep the mic from moving around in a pocket it would be just as easy to get rid of the glass case and not use it at all. Away from the wind, the mic in my pocket recorded my talking very well.
With some more practice, I think I can take decent stable videos using the gimbal. The Hohem gimbal was very hard to set up and link to the Bluetooth as it would not sync repeatedly, and I am still not able to use all of the features the gimbal offers but there are dozens of videos on YouTube providing hints on how to get the most out of the stabilizer.
I bought a cardioid shotgun mic to use with my phone called the Movo and was going to review it too but for some reason, it will not work using my splitter even though my lavalier mic works fine with it. If anybody knows why that might be let me know.

Finally, I was just being goofy with the music while filming my old Corolla.
