Mascom International stocks the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 at KSh 12,400, brand new and sealed in black. It steadies a smartphone on three motorised axes, follows a subject using AI tracking, and responds to hand gestures so you can start recording without touching the phone. A 2200mAh battery delivers about 6 hours of use and recharges in 80 minutes over USB Type-C. The Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 folds to 164 x 110 x 54mm, small enough for a jacket pocket. See it at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for vloggers, university students, journalists and NGO field staff, the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 handles daylight video where shaky hands ruin the shot. Walk-and-talk clips around the University of Nairobi campus, travel reels at Diani, and site updates for field engineers all come out level. Its built-in rod extends to 170mm and opens into three short legs, so the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 doubles as a selfie stick and a table stand without extra parts. Raise a palm and the gimbal begins tracking you, which makes solo filming far less fiddly.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock unbranded gimbals with no local backing, Mascom International sells the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 with a written warranty and a walk-in store. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the fast 80-minute recharge suits days with several short shoots. If you film indoors or need longer runtime, the Porodo VeloCam AI Tracker Smartphone Gimbal adds a magnetic fill light for KSh 2,300 more. Come to Kimathi Street to try the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 with your phone, or order on WhatsApp for delivery.
Common Questions About the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9
What is the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 price in Kenya?
The Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 sells for KSh 12,400, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. The price includes our 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to every county. The extension rod and three-leg stand are built into the handle, so you need nothing extra to start filming. The Porodo VeloCam AI Tracker Smartphone Gimbal costs KSh 14,700, which is KSh 2,300 more, and adds a magnetic fill light and a separate tripod.
Should I buy the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 or the Porodo VeloCam AI Tracker Smartphone Gimbal?
Pick the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 if you film mostly outdoors and want to save KSh 2,300. It has gesture control, a single 2200mAh battery giving about 6 hours, and an 80-minute recharge. The VeloCam lasts 8 to 10 hours, takes about 2 hours to recharge, and includes a magnetic fill light for dim rooms. The P9 also tilts across 160 degrees against the VeloCam's 68, which helps with high and low angles. Indoor creators should choose the VeloCam.
How does gesture control work on the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9?
Gesture control on the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 lets you start tracking or take a shot by showing your hand to the camera. It runs through the Porodo companion app on Android and iOS. This helps when the phone is on the stand two metres away and you are presenting to camera. A sales rep recording a quick product pitch, or a teacher filming a lesson, can control the shot without walking back to the phone each time.
How long does the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 battery last during a day of filming in Kenya?
The Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 runs about 6 hours on its 2200mAh battery, according to Porodo. That covers a morning of shooting in Nairobi traffic or a half-day graduation at Kenyatta University. It recharges fully in 80 minutes through USB Type-C at 5V/1A, so a lunch break with a power bank gets you back to full. During a KPLC outage, any power bank or car USB port will charge it.
Can the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 stand on its own?
Yes, the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 opens into a three-legged stand built into the handle, so it sits on a desk, counter or flat rock. The legs give stable support on different surfaces without a separate tripod to carry. Combined with the 170mm extension rod, you can raise the phone for a wider group shot. This setup suits Zoom calls from a home office, recorded church sermons and short Pochi la Biashara promo videos for a small shop.
Is the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 easy to carry on a matatu or boda boda?
The Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 folds down to 164 x 110 x 54mm, about the size of a thick paperback. It slips into a small bag or a large jacket pocket, so you can carry it on a crowded matatu without a separate case. Unfolded it measures 278 x 136 x 76mm. The body is ABS plastic reinforced with glass fibre, which handles everyday bumps on the commute better than plain plastic, though it is not waterproof.
What is FPV mode on the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9?
FPV mode on the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 lets the phone tilt and roll with your hand instead of staying level. FPV stands for first-person view, the swooping style seen in drone and action-camera footage. It gives energy to dance clips, car reveals and sports content for TikTok and Instagram Reels. The app also offers other video effects, so you can move between steady walking shots and dramatic movement in the same shoot.
Who is the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 for, and who should look elsewhere?
The Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 fits students, vloggers and field workers who shoot short daylight clips and want a compact, affordable stabilizer. It is not the right pick for long events such as weddings, where 6 hours may run short, or for dim indoor work. Those buyers are better served by the Porodo VeloCam AI Tracker Smartphone Gimbal with its fill light and 8 to 10 hours of runtime. Photographers who rarely shoot video can skip gimbals entirely.
Technical Specifications
Stabilization and Movement
- Three-axis motor stabilization — separate motors smooth out tilt, roll and pan wobble as you walk, run or turn.
- Pitch range of 160 degrees — lets you angle the phone sharply up at buildings or straight down at food and products.
- Roll range of 325 degrees — rotate the phone freely between upright TikTok framing and wide landscape video.
- Pan range of 340 degrees — the phone swings almost fully around, useful for panoramas of a stadium or a market.
- Controllable tilt of plus or minus 45 degrees — the range you can steer the camera through using the handle controls.
Tracking and App Control
- AI tracking — the gimbal follows a moving person and keeps them in frame without a camera operator.
- Gesture control — show your hand to the camera to start tracking or capture, handy when filming yourself alone.
- Companion app for iOS and Android — unlocks tracking, gestures and the effect modes from your phone screen.
- FPV mode — first-person view lets the camera roll and tilt with your hand for action-style shots.
- Additional video effects in the app — switch between steady walking shots and creative movement within one session.
Battery and Charging
- 2200mAh battery — a single cell that powers the motors and tracking for a solid half-day of shooting.
- About 6 hours of working time — enough for a campus event, a market tour or several short client shoots.
- 80-minute recharge — a full top-up fits into a lunch break, according to Porodo's own figures.
- USB Type-C port — the same reversible plug used by most current phones, so one cable serves both.
- 5V/1A input — works with a basic phone charger, a laptop port, a car USB socket or any power bank.
Build and Design
- Folded size of 164 x 110 x 54mm — compact enough to fit in a small bag or large jacket pocket.
- Unfolded size of 278 x 136 x 76mm — the working shape once the arms are open and the phone is mounted.
- Built-in extension rod up to 170mm — raises the phone for group shots or wider selfie framing.
- Three-legged support built into the handle — stands on tables and uneven surfaces with no separate tripod needed.
- ABS plastic with glass fibre reinforcement — lighter than metal and stiffer than plain plastic for daily carrying.
Package Contents
The sealed box holds the Porodo AI Tracker 3-Axis Gimbal P9 in black, with its phone clamp, extension rod and three-legged stand already built into the handle.
