## What reviewers say

**DJI RS 4** — Rests on a single whitelisted hands-on review: TechRadar's Editor's Choice writeup of the base DJI RS 4 by Damien Demolder (April 2024). He found it very easy to set up and rebalance thanks to Teflon-coated arms, praised the quick plate-swap vertical mode that needs no rebalancing, and liked the longer tilt arm plus Focus Pro motor and camera-control integration. No lab measurements were reported, and the only noted downside is that the Android app isn't on the Google Play Store. With just one source, there is no cross-outlet agreement to confirm or contradict. (1 sourced review.)

**Hohem iSteady M7** — Only one whitelisted tester, TechRadar, published a genuine week-long hands-on review (tested with an iPhone 13). It rates the M7 the heavy-duty smartphone gimbal to beat, praising its 500g / 12.5mm payload capacity, app-agnostic AI tracking and a detachable 1.4-inch touchscreen that doubles as a ~10m remote, while flagging a slightly janky companion app, an at-times fiddly touchscreen, and its bulky, non-pocketable, fairly pricey (~$299) nature.
