This auto foldable 3-axis phone gimbal is giving the DJI Osmo Mobile a run for its money

The future of content is clearly mobile, and I honestly can’t think of a product that plays a more pivotal (quite literally) role than the handheld gimbal. Gimbals, with their stabilization abilities, make phone videos less chaotic and more cinematic. Add a few more features like a selfie stick, a tripod, and an auto-folding feature and you’ve suddenly got a product that’s really hard for me to resist talking about.

Meet the ATOM 2, a tiny, foldable 3-axis gimbal that makes vlogging, streaming, filming, and action-capturing on your phone a whole lot easier. About as small as a can of deodorant, and as light as an apple, the ATOM 2 is as portable as your phone, and adds the hardware chops to your phone’s software capabilities. Featuring a hybrid setup of motors, the ATOM 2 covers rolling, panning, and tilting motions to stabilize all your videos. Brushless motors on the top and a patented hybrid motor near the handle mean it does it all without a counterweight, making it a compact beast that weighs a mere 280 grams.

Setting the ATOM 2 up is as simple as gently flipping it open and the motors come to life as the gimbal opens up and immediately calibrates itself. The universal grip works with any phone, and a simple button control lets you navigate the gimbal, although that isn’t just all. The ATOM 2 even comes with an extendable arm, working as a selfie stick for better control, and the handle opens up into a tripod too, allowing you to take shots with yourself in the frame, or take more controlled panoramas, time-lapses, or long-exposures. These features come preprogrammed within the ATOM 2’s app, which also offers AI tracking and gesture controlling. When you’re done, slip your phone out and switch the ATOM 2 off using the power button and the entire thing folds back into its tiny, pocket-friendly avatar completely on its own!

ATOM 2: World’s 1st Auto-foldable 3-axis Phone Gimbal

ATOM 2 is the world’s first auto-foldable 3-axis phone gimbal that is pocket size. It senses your action for auto startup and folding, making it a hassle-free phone filming assistant. With a built-in tripod and an extendable handle, ATOM 2 is perfect for go-anywhere phone-filming, vlogging, live-streaming, and selfies.

Auto Folding, Fast Setup

ATOM 2 can instantly sense your opening & closing actions to automatically control the gimbal arm’s movements, giving you a more convenient grab-and-shoot experience.

A True Pocket Size Stabilizer

The hybrid 3-axis structural design allows ATOM 2 to break free from bulky conventional designs and significantly reduces the gimbal size to an incredible degree.

A Real 3-axis Stabilizer

Compared with 1 or 2 axes selfie-stick style gimbals, a 3-axis gimbal can best eliminate shakes and jitters in all 3 axes of roll, tilt and pan, balancing the phone camera in real-time which results in smooth and steady videos.

ATOM 2 utilizes Snoppa’s latest patented design—the hybrid 3-axis anti-shake structure which is the soul of ATOM 2. The roll and pan axes both use a direct-drive brushless motor while the tilt axis uses a special hybrid brushless motor self-developed by Snoppa. It has a much higher torsion and excellent stabilizing performance, which cannot be found in any other gimbal.

Extendable Handle With Built-in Tripod

ATOM 2 eliminates the need for additional gear, it has an extendable handle, allowing you to take better selfie shots with a wider field of view. With the integrated tripod, you can stand it directly on any flat surface for hands-free filming techniques such as time-lapse, auto-tracking, etc.

1 Hour Fast Charging

ATOM 2 is currently the only gimbal that supports fast charging. It takes only 1 hour to charge from empty to full, or 40 minutes charging to reach 80%. Inside there’s a built-in temperature sensor that can detect the battery status in real-time to ensure safety.

Auto Phone Mounting Detection

ATOM 2 has an embedded infrared sensor in the gimbal phone holder, which can actively sense the phone mounting status to prevent the motor from starting before the phone is mounted – helping to avoid motor damage.

Dedicated Filming App

The filming app offers functions for users to enhance their shooting experiences like AI recognition and tracking, time-lapse, slow motion, panorama, beauty mode, gesture control, and more.

Beauty Mode: Helps you edit images and video to bring out your best features in both your selfie pictures and vlogs.

Faceover & Facemasking: Through AI face detection, the Faceover Mode enables users to automatically cover their faces with either pixels or a selected cartoon sticker during face tracking.

AI Gesture Controls: Control the gimbal hands-free or remotely. Now snapping a photo or recording a video is as easy as a simple gesture. And more customized gestures can be set for start/stop shooting, shot clock, inception mode, and more.

This Rose-Gold and White Gimbal-operated camera stabilizes your videos with style!

We’ve come to really expect rather wonderful concepts from the mind of Yash Gupte, and the Manouvre is surely one of them. Designed as a 3-axis stabilized action-camera made appropriately for influencers and vloggers, the Manouvre sits at the intersection of tech and style. Its body sports a pretty large f3.2 portrait camera lens mounted on a sleek 3-axis arm, ensconced in rose-gold and white.

The Manouvre looks less like a camera and more like a fashion accessory, as it should. Designed for people who want to capture the wondrous world around them, the gimbal-camera looks like a part of the set, rather than a behind-the-scenes gizmo. The gimbal can be operated via a button near the grip, and you can toggle recording on/off using a red button on the camera’s body. The Manouvre even comes with its own circular display on the back, allowing you to cycle through features, get updates on your recording format, and even preview recordings by using the screen as a viewfinder. The lens features a knurled grip, which makes me wonder whether the gimbal camera has manual focus control (sounds like a very interesting feature), but alas, the Manouvre exists only as a concept, so there’s no real way of finding out. I’ve got to say though, the form language and that deadly color-combo is DEFINITELY working in this handheld gimbal-camera’s favor, don’t you think?
