A:AnswerHi, I am not sure about your Canon T3i but I am using a Nikon D7200 which is a fairly big camera and It is working fine. The only issue I have is my view screen does not rotate out so my view is around part of the device but I can still see well enough.
It takes a while to get it balanced the first time but if you take the time to do it correctly the gimble works very well.
It would be nice if the handle was longer to make it easier to hold for long periods.
A:AnswerMost dlsr gimbals will work with the T3i. With that said, you can only shoot video in stabilization mode. You can’t connect the camera to the gimbal to control video start/stop, or take pics. Surprisingly, even the R7 and other higher price cameras can’t be controlled by gimbals. So, if you want to co trip from the gimbal, do your research as to what camera is fully compatible, be that by wifi or cable.
A:AnswerI will get the plus because I've been reading that the V2 there's been some issues about connecting to your PC or even updating the firmware. But if you're not worried about updating the firmware or connecting to the PC then I'll probably just go for the V2. I got the V2 and I haven't updated the firmware cos I'm having the same issues but it works just fine and I also been reading that it's best you don't update it because the company is not really updating the firmware for those generations V1 and V2 anymore.
A:AnswerIt’s only compatible with a “Sony” I believe (Meaning there are controls on the handle that connect with the camera), however like many people buy it cause it can hold and balance many DSLR. I have a Nikon D750 and I am noticing that since it’s a bigger body that the balance has to be lower therefore it’s obstructs the movement when I pan too far down. Hard concept to understand if you don’t have one. I will say it has improved my videography but there are a few problems that are easy to work around.
