The Best Samsung Gimbal of 2026

Did you know the short film Behold, directed by the legendary Sir Ridley Scott, was filmed using the Galaxy S23 Ultra? Yes, that Academy Award-winning masterpiece! It’s amazing how a portable phone—now evolving through the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S26 Ultra—can effectively evoke deep emotions and emphasize themes of self-discovery.

With Samsung’s Ultra lineup continuing to push mobile cinematography forward—especially with the Galaxy S26 series (S26, S26+, S26 Ultra)—smartphone filmmaking in 2026 has reached a new level of realism, dynamic range, and stabilization-assisted zoom.

In today’s digitally savvy era, professional-grade cameras are more accessible than ever. But let’s face it—holding your phone for long recording sessions can still result in shaky footage and sore arms. That’s where a handheld gimbal stabilizer becomes essential.

This is exactly why creators filming on Samsung flagships are turning to Hohem’s latest generation gimbals—specifically the Hohem iSteady M7, designed to support today’s larger, more powerful smartphones.
