    I was very excited when this came out! But it's just not up to the hype! Returned mine after multiple times the gimbal would shake and ruined my footage! It will also not handel past 1.5 kilos!

    Odd pan/tilt, did not hold camera

    As the title says, the pan and tilt on this was very strange. Unless I was doing something wrong, this process was manual via a joystick, and very difficult. While my camera setup is a little larger, it was below the weight limit and this struggled to handle quick movements (you could hear the motors trying to keep up). Eventually returned and could not use for a regular project.

    Don't like not having the auto lock like the RS 3. the weight difference between the mini and RS 3 isn't enough for me to choose it over the RS3 that has the auto lock and the RS 3 is more upgradable!

    The Product works well… now that I bought an additional part that was missing (the part that mounts the camera). I needed the gimbal for a project the next day. I was not able to use it due to that locations QC. I would not recommend shopping open-box from the Hiram, Ga location.

    I returned as I believed the gimbal was heavier than I imagined and a bit more complicated as well. It was going to be more of a challenge than I wanted at the time. I may repurchase at a future date.

    I got thia product as open box, parts were missing but not the important ones, I was stupid enough to trust Bestbuy team to check this product before selling it… huge mistake. I just tried to setup the gimbal for my ABKC dog show in vegas, and it can’t move left or right using the “joystick” most likely the person who return it broke it. Good job Bestbuy, I cannot return it I just waited too long to try the equipment, do not ever buy open box, it scks.

    The item itself is great, however for “excellent condition” it was not. It had gravel in the box and sand and dirt all in the motors. I had to disassemble the whole gimbal to deep clean it cause the motors and sliders were getting stuck.

    The mini itself is great! I was saddened to find out they didn’t include my L shaped C-cord with this excellent open box purchase. It’s too far out and I wasn’t offered a mailing option so yea

    Received the item but it was missing the mini tripod. It’s virtually useless without the mini tripod (which is supposed to be included in the box but was missing). I instantly contacted support and was told to exchange the item in store. Went to the store and was told that I couldn’t exchange the item. They didn’t even scan it or anything. Next time, I’ll purchase from Amazon.

    I Wish I Would've Bought This Sooner!

    This is my introduction into the world of gimbals, and wow!!! The ease of set up and use has been a real help as I navigate this new tool. It's super light and has a great battery life! The only minor inconvenience is that the touch screen is very sensitive, so I recommend to always lock your screen after you finish dialing in your settings. But overall, this is an awesome beginner gimbal and you definitely won't regret the purchase.

    This is just what I needed! I do the marketing and social media for a landscaping company, and with the increased popularity in Reels and video content, I needed to upgrade my equipment to keep up. I use this with a Canon t6i and a 50mm pancake lens and it functions exactly as I need it to! Definitely had to watch a couple of external YouTube videos for help on setup / balancing, and I am still learning, but so far I am happy with my purchase.

    DJI is always 5 stars. Easy to use but you need to take some time getting to know the system. Once you have a handle on how to use it the Mini 3 is fantastic
