Seamless Compatibility: A Perfect Match for the iPhone 17 Pro

The Hype is Real, and So is the Compatibility

Every September, Apple sets the stage for the next generation of smartphones — and the launch of the iPhone 17 Pro has lived up to the excitement. With its groundbreaking 48MP Fusion camera system, professional-level ProRes RAW video recording, and industry-leading 8x optical zoom, the iPhone 17 Pro isn’t just another phone; it’s a creative powerhouse.

For content creators, vloggers, and mobile filmmakers, this phone represents endless possibilities. But there’s one important question that always arises when a new iPhone launches: Will my favorite accessories still work with it?

At Hohem, we know that creators don’t just buy a gimbal — they invest in a workflow. That’s why we designed the iSteady V3 Ultra to keep up with innovation, not fall behind. The answer to the big question is clear: yes, the iSteady V3 Ultra is fully compatible with the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

And not only does it work — it’s the perfect match to unleash the phone’s full creative potential.

Why Compatibility Matters More Than Ever

The iPhone 17 Pro isn’t just about raw specs; it’s about how those specs change the way creators shoot. With 4K video at 120fps, log encoding for advanced color grading, and even spatial video capture for Vision Pro, Apple has created a phone that blurs the line between consumer device and professional tool.

But here’s the challenge: as the cameras get more powerful, the need for stability increases. No matter how advanced native stabilization becomes, handheld shots still risk unwanted shakes, jitters, or rolling shutter effects. That’s where the iSteady V3 Ultra steps in, making sure every frame is worthy of the iPhone’s hardware.

Addressing Key Compatibility Questions

1. Will the gimbal hold the new iPhone 17 Pro?

Absolutely. The iPhone 17 Pro Max weighs in at around 240g (depending on configuration), which is well within the 400g payload capacity of the iSteady V3 Ultra. That means you have plenty of headroom for:

• A protective case
• Clip-on filters or lenses
• Small external mics or accessories

The V3 Ultra is designed for flexibility, so even if you like to kit out your iPhone, you won’t have to worry about balance or support.

2. Does it work with the iPhone’s advanced camera system?

Yes — and it enhances it. Apple has improved its in-body stabilization with features like sensor-shift OIS and Action Mode, but when paired with the iSteady 9.0 algorithm, your footage achieves a professional, cinematic smoothness that software alone can’t provide.

The V3 Ultra is especially useful when pushing the iPhone’s new features:

• ProRes RAW video: Stable shots ensure that when you color grade later, you aren’t compensating for unintentional motion blur.
• 8x optical zoom: Telephoto shooting amplifies even the smallest hand movements. The V3 Ultra counteracts this for crisp long-distance shots.
• Low-light performance: Shaky footage is exaggerated in dim conditions. Gimbal stabilization lets you maximize detail and minimize noise.

In short: the iPhone captures, and the V3 Ultra guarantees perfection.

3. How do the features work together?

Think of the iPhone 17 Pro and the V3 Ultra as two halves of the same system.

• The iPhone’s Fusion camera system ensures every shot looks sharp, colorful, and professional.
• The iSteady V3 Ultra removes all traces of handheld imperfections, giving your footage that polished, cinematic look.
• The touchscreen remote control adds convenience by allowing you to adjust angles, start/stop recording, or reframe shots without touching the phone.
• With a 10-meter Bluetooth range, even solo travelers, fitness vloggers, and adventure enthusiasts can set up creative shots with ease.

The result? A filming setup that feels like it was built for each other.

When you put the iPhone 17 Pro and the iSteady V3 Ultra together, you’re not just combining devices — you’re creating a professional mobile studio.
