AOCHUAN XE AI Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphone, No App AI Tracking | 3-axis foldable phone gimbal for iPhone, gesture control, 360° inception, AI tracking for TikTok, YouTube and vlogging

It is a great product with so many features for the price I love using the Gimble what a difference it makes to your footage there is no need to spend hundreds of pounds on your first gimble this one is great

It’s a great piece to start with but you need to familiarise with it.

The AOCHUAN XE AI is a great value gimbal packed with features like AI tracking without an app, gesture control, and 360° Inception mode. Stabilization is excellent for walking shots, and the built-in tripod and compact foldable design make it super portable. The focus/zoom controls are smooth, and the battery lasts all day. It does take a bit of practice to balance properly, and tracking can be limited in 4K or with heavier phones—but overall, it’s a fantastic tool for vlogging, TikTok, and YouTube. Highly recommended if you want smart tracking and smooth footage without breaking the bank.

I really like this stabiliser gimbal, but I had to dig out one of my old phones to be able to properly use it as my current phone is a bit too big to fit in this easily - it's 78mm wide and just under 10mm thick. With a lot of effort I can just about get it in but I have to remove the bumper case and the clamp is at its extreme. If your phone is anywhere near the same size then this gimbal will be a bit of a gamble. It's a bit odd that it does not mention max phone size anywhere on this page. Large phones are not uncommon. My old Wiley Fox phone is considerably smaller and fits in perfectly. It's just a shame that the camera is not very good :] In this kit you get the Gimbal, an optional 'AI' module for face tracking and gestures, and a small tripod attachment. The tripod is surprisingly more stable than it looks. You also get what are possibly the worst instruction manuals I have every seen. The information in them is good enough, but for some bizarre reason they have opted to print much of the (tiny) text in metallic silver ink over white paper. Due to the silver ink being so reflective it is very difficult to read. The Gimbal is really good though. It connects via Bluetooth to the phone, and when powered up it levels out the phone and keeps it nice and steady with super smooth motion. You can swap from landscape to portrait orientations with a couple of clicks and when move around it constantly adjusts itself to maintain a smooth and level shot. The camera is triggered from a button on the gimbal. There is also a little thumb-stick to make manual adjustments to angle and rotation. It works really well. There are additional controls such as the zoom dial but these only work with the Aochuan app. If you don't want to use the app then these controls do nothing. If your phone fits I would recommend it. I would have given four stars for a readable manual. And they really should specify the size limits of the phone that can be used with it.

As a budding iPhone videographer, this was an impulse selection for review. It copes with the weight of my iPhone 15 Pro Max in a case so should manage most phones. You do need to be careful setting the initial balance point but after that it should be plain sailing. Out of the box, the gimbal is firmly locked to prevent it moving around and you need to use more force than you might expect to unlock the arm and snap it into the correct position. The build quality is decent and it feels robust and up to the task. Battery arrived partially charged so was good to operate immediately but benefits from a top up as you might expect. The AI face tracking is quite impressive and does well to track moving objects so long as you have a reasonable focal length selected. Too zoomed in, and it will struggle to keep the person in frame but at shorter focal lengths (wider angle) it will track reasonably and aim to keep the person within the central half of the frame. Auto start and stop recording is fairly intuitive and responds well to the hand gestures without the need to install the app on your device. If you do install the app, much more functionality is added with significantly more control over the video recording built in to the app with grids, guides and tracking shot configs which I've only really scratched the surface of. Plenty of experimentation needed to get the most out of this. Stabilisation for hand held shots is equally impressive with no hint of wobble when moving along with the phone held at arms length. I'm sure that this is a very capable little gimbal and will stand up to years of use and will reward experimentation and practice. Very happy to recommend for beginner and will be a staple in the camera bag going forward.

Very disappointed with this gimbal. It does not work as expected at all. The stabilisation is poor and the device doesn’t hold the phone properly. It feels cheaply made and unreliable. I tried using it multiple times but the performance is inconsistent and frustrating. Definitely not worth the money. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Price when reviewed: £ 99.00. This is the first gimbal I’ve ever used so I have no reference to judge it against. Therefore, this is a review from a newbie gimbal user. I’ve tested it with a heavy (266g) Pixel 8 Pro Android smart phone including case. I like that there are YouTube videos showing me how to get started and set it up which is essential for a beginner like me. The gimbal comes with a low screw in tripod, tracking module, USB-C charging cable, and 2 instruction leaflets. Both the gimbal and the tracking module should be fully charged before first use and the tracking module has clear film to remove. I was a little tentative at first opening the gimbal as there is quite a bit of resistance, but having watched the instruction video I just pulled a little harder. Balancing my heavy phone took a bit of back-and-forth adjustment before it levelled. Bluetooth pairing should be done via the downloadable app, after registering, to use all the functions of the gimbal. Zoom speed is adjustable in the app. I found slower zoom speed is ideal for videos as I think it looks smoother on playback. I found the focus knob a little bit fussy to get the focus spot on. Better to leave my phone to auto-focus itself. Face tracking with the module fitted works, both handheld and with the tripod attached. The tripod can also be used closed to extend the length of the gimbal handle. All the controls on the gimbal are easy to operate with right thumb (I am righthanded). Overall, I am really pleased to have ordered this smart phone gimbal and have already used it extensively in the home and garden, including taking photos of the moon. If you’re looking for a smart phone gimbal with auto-tracking, I can recommend this one.

This has significantly improved the way I assume the videos because before I was holding the phone in my hand but since I got this gimbal the videos are not shaky anymore and this is what I was looking for. I have quite a lot of experience working with this type of products because I am a professional photographer for a long time and I have to admit that in terms of build quality this product is really good and also something quite important that I wanted to mention is the fact that it is easy to set up and the battery lasts for quite a long time. From what I have noticed a full charge takes roughly 40 minutes and I'm able to use it for around five to six hours continuously which is great. A great advantage of it is the fact that it doesn't require any additional app in order to activate the track function which makes things significantly easier when I have to film myself because I can use the main camera of my phone for better quality. I have done some tests while I was running and I was holding this gimbal to see how the video will look and it came out very steady. I also like that this gimbal is lightweight so I can easily take it with me with the rest of the gear that I have and also I find it to be very practical because I can use it as a tripod whenever I want.

Amazing product! I very much recommend this product to anyone who's interested.

Produit sympa mais relativement lourd à l'usage. Attention a la taille de votre téléphone. N'est pas adapté à tous les téléphones, surtout s'ils sont de format maxi. Par exemple l'iphone 11 Pro passe tout juste. Il passe à 2 mm du bord de la poignée lorsqu'il tourne. Sinon très bon rapport qualité/prix

Good investment. Does the job i want it for

Good is a good production

Me gusta, es muy práctico
