Introduction
The Hohem iSteady MT3 Pro was announced on 6 January 2026 as the premium offering in Hohem’s new MT3 line. Built for multi‑camera setups, it promises robust stabilization, AI‑powered subject tracking, and a versatile accessory kit.
Design and Build
The MT3 Pro folds flat for easy transport (8.5 × 11.6 × 2.6 in folded, 13.3 × 5.9 × 7.8 in unfolded) and features Teflon‑coated tilt, roll, and pan arms to simplify balancing. Its Arca‑Swiss‑compatible camera mount lets you attach a camera and cage securely.

Designed for creators who use multiple devices, the MT3 Pro includes mounts for smartphones, action cameras, and full‑frame mirrorless bodies. If you only need smartphone stabilization, Hohem also offers the iSteady M7, supporting up to 500 g.
