Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice equipment for the Go Pro and the cellphone!! Love how the GoPro can have a gimbal to make other types of movement.

I was drinking my morning coffee, going through emails when I saw the message from GoPro announcing the upcoming release of the Fluid Pro AI. I was immediately drawn to it mainly due to the built in camera that allows for tracking movement. I’m slowly building up my little home studio and I thought this gimbal might fit the bill as an AI powered cameraman. I’m happy to report that it does! I already have a GoPro Hero 13 so I mounted that to the included bracket and spent a few minutes balancing the camera per the included directions. Not too difficult but important to reduce strain on the gimbal’s motors. Using a few simple hand gestures I’m able to have it track my movements around the shop or hold in position, start and stop video recording or take a photo depending on what mode the camera is in, or a really handy feature is that you can reframe a shot all with gestures. It’s pretty cool! I don’t do much in the way of vlogging but there are features that might make this a “must have” if you do. Tapping the trigger twice will recenter the gimbal but tapping it three times will flip the camera 180 so it’s facing you so it switches easily from selfie mode to show your POV. Tapping four times will move the roll motor and arm back behind the camera if you are making a wide angle shot so it doesn’t show in frame. Pressing and holding the trigger will put the Fluid in Sport Mode which increases the speed of the gimbal on all axis to track faster moving people. I did try to track objects or pets with the GoPro camera mounted and was unsuccessful, but if you use the Fluid app and mount your phone in the provided phone adapter you can draw a box around an object and it will track that. So it appears that without the Fluid app the gimbal only tracks people. We were able to fool it by showing it a picture of a person on a phone and it tracked the picture so I assume it’s looking for either a human or a human shaped object at least unless you’re using the Fluid app on a mobile device. Tracking worked well for me in standard mode as long as the person wasn’t moving too quickly, Sport mode worked on faster moving people but since you need to hold the trigger down to stay in Sport mode it’s not something can use with it hands free on the included tripod. There are several modes to pick from which changes how each axis responds to the Fluid Pro’s handle movement. In Lock mode for instance, the Fluid Pro will keep the camera pointing at the same target as you move about. Other modes allow for panning only, or allow you to control pan and tilt only while it powers the roll axis to keep the camera level. It does have a small built in fill light and a scroll wheel to vary the brightness and you can adjust the color temperature from 2700K to 6500K to suit your subject’s skin tone or help compose your shot. The light and AI camera assembly is reversible, if you have the AI camera reversed it disables POV mode as an option I noticed. I couldn’t think of a reason why I would want the AI camera facing me and the film camera facing away though? The base of the device has a 1/4-20 threaded mounting hole for the included tripod or it will fit on a standard camera tripod. You could attach a 1/4-20 threaded lanyard there also (not included with the device). There’s a second 1/4-20 hole on the right side of the Fluid for accessory mounting. The grip on the Fluid is textured and slightly grippy but not squishy. Feels good in the hand. Also note that if you are left handed, the large scroll wheel might be pressing on your index finger and affect how well you can reach the trigger. Not as comfortable when I’m using it with my left hand. Probably should try it in the store and see how it is for you if you’re a lefty. I use my right hand so I have no complaint with it. The controls are easy to reach and really everything can be operated with just my thumb and index finger except for the button on the scroll wheel. It comes with a small coiled usb-c cable to power the camera and extend its run time. The included phone adapter can be used in portrait or landscape mode, if your phone/case combo is over about 3 1/2” wide it might need the case removed to make it fit. It’s tight on my iPhone 11 in a Defender case. There’s a cold shoe on the phone adapter if you need to clip on something like a RX for your wireless microphone. With a maximum capacity of 400 grams the Fluid could possibly handle a small point and shoot camera if it’s physically small and light enough but it does work wonderfully with my Hero 13 so I can recommend that. The Fluid Pro AI can also connect to your GoPro camera and your mobile device via the Fluid app at the same time! This allows you to use your mobile device as a remote control for the gimbal, adjust settings, set up motion time lapse shots up to three hours long, control the camera and you can even control the Fluid’s motion using the accelerometers in your phone. It’s a neat device and I’m looking forward to putting it to work in the shop!

Awesome addition to the hero black 13 muat have . Love it !

The latest Gimbal from GoPro, Fluid Pro AI, is quite alike a robotic arm that complement the GoPro Camera or a mobile phone. It provides a powerful sensors that can adapt dynamically to the movement and action. The package includes: 1. Gimbal, 2. AI Tracker, 3. Tripod 4. Camera Bracket 5. Phone Clamp, 6. Finger Adapter, 7. Thumb Screw 8. USB-C Gimbal Charging Cable 9. USB-C Device Charging Cable 10. Carrying Case The gimbal once assembled, in total provides 29 functionalities, from which includes 3 motors (Tilt Motor, Pan Motor, Roll Motor). It also includes a Fill Light which can be controlled with Control Wheel for the grade of brightness. It also includes a tinny screen for indicator of Mode based selection made with the dedicated button. Now, the actual physical actionable buttons are: 1. Mode Button (M) 2. Joystick 3. Trigger Button 4. Zoom Lever / Shutter Button 5. Control Wheel 5.1. For Focus Control+ Roll Rotation 5.2 Fill Light Control mentioned above. 6. A-B Botton, has effect on how Joystick behaves for Start and Position of the camera. On AI tracking, this is fascinating on how it works. By default it recognizes 4 hand signs for: 1. Start AI Tracking 2. Stop AI Tracking 3. Start/stop Recording, Take Photo, 4. Customized Composition. These works nicely as long as it is within the specified distance, which is 0.5m to 5m (1.64ft to 16.40 ft) away. For the case of waling around with the auto mode, as walk the gimbal adjust automatically as the angle is low or high. The adjustment ion the position allows s the camera focus still on the object. The gimbal has full of features to explore but above is mostly the most that comes to impress after first usage. On the other hand, understanding it how to use at first is not counterintuitive, I had to tryout multiple times until understood the functionality. One of issue I had was placing the camera or the phone in bracket and positioning aligned with the Fill Light as it move around and desert have fixed position. Other issues I had was randomly appearing error message and overheat messages and not being able to solve perse as when it is restarted it is not longer showing. What I wish it worked better: 1. To place the GoPro Camera, in my usage Hero 13, it need to use Finger Adapter and Thumb Screw. It is not just click and use. Although it could have used with Phone Clamp, and the puporse of using Finger Adapter is more secure, still it is multiple steps. 2. Less buttons. It has 7 buttons including the joystick. The buttons on the side are a bit odd to use unless get used to after a while. 3. The app Fluid doesn’t have option to switch to Front Camera without changing the direction of the arm of the gimbals. I am guessing it doesn’t as the AI sensor is pointing only one direction hence it limit the AI functionality. But while being the middle of recording can’t switch to front camera then back to the rear camera. As for ending the review, the Gimbal is an excitement to use, it is flexible and dynamic and works as intended. There are little details to tune still for better user experience and some training in advance, but as Hardware and it Application in overall deliver a nicely made one.

This 3-axis lightweight GoPro Fluid Pro AI gimbal ships with a detachable tripod, tension clamp phone mount, screw mount camera bracket, two charging cables, and several small screws and adapters. Everything ships inside the included rigid carrying case and fits perfectly inside their respective foam molded cutouts. I have a GoPro Hero 12 camera that I use with the gimbal along with an iPhone Pro Max 16. Both the camera and phone fasten securely onto the gimbal. Construction quality and durability are impressive. It doesn’t feel delicate or easily breakable. Setting up the GoPro fluid was easy for the most part, but the process did occasionally test my patience. That’s because the manual provided isn’t the best. It does a passable job of introducing gimbal concepts and instructing how to set up and use the Fluid AI, but the placement of some important setup topics are way in the rear of the manual and some info is seemingly incorrect. Also, some of the illustrations are mirrored compared to the actual device. For example, the manual instructs to attach the AI module and connect the power cord. The AI module ships already attached and it doesn’t require a power cord. There is a reverse charging port on the AI module that I can use to charge my camera or phone with the included USB-C cable, but it does not supply power to the module. I attached a photo showing the shipping box image versus the illustrated diagram in the instruction manual where you can see that the two images are mirrored. This made the initial balancing slightly confusing because I couldn’t get the arms to match the orientation in the illustration. I assumed I was doing something wrong until it became obvious there was no possible way to match the image orientation. Lastly, whenever I initially powered on the gimbal, it would beep and flash the word “unlock” along with an image of the roll motor. This was followed by an error code and it would then enter sleep mode. I didn’t immediately know which latch to unlock because the message and image were vague. I found the error code all the way in the rear of the manual but had to view an online unboxing video to find out where the tiny roll motor latch was located. I felt a little foolish at how obvious it seemed after I finally found it but it wasn’t exactly intuitive at first to the uninitiated eye. Information about the latch and error or at least a reference to it would have been more helpful in the beginning of the manual with the other setup instructions, especially for those new to using this gimbal. After finally getting everything properly set up, the gimbal became much easier to use after getting a little more familiarity. The Fluid AI can support up to 400g total weight, which is just under a pound. That makes this gimbal suitable for lighter items like smartphones, small action cameras like GoPro, and small point and shoot cameras. It’s not suitable for heavier gear like a large DLSR with interchangeable lenses. The Hero 12 has a bottom thread, so the included adapter was not needed to mount the camera. It attaches directly onto the camera mount using the thumbscrew. The phone fits securely inside the phone mount even with a thick phone case installed. The rubberized gimbal grip is ergonomically comfortable and has a nice slip-resistant texture. The gimbal can be controlled via the onboard hardware controls or through the fluid app. The gimbal found and paired with my phone instantly. I had to manually pair it with my Hero in settings, but that wasn’t difficult. The Fluid is easy to balance and manage and has several features for shooting needs and creative filming effects. The removable tripod can be used either with the gimbal or stand alone with my camera. The gimbal can also attach to other tripods or poles with a ¼-20 mount. As I shared earlier, I can also use the gimbal as a battery power bank to charge my phone or camera via USB using the included USB-C cable. The Fluid AI has excellent AI based tracking with several different tracking modes. It has an ultra-wide angle mode that spins to position all gimbal components out of the frame and six available gimbal movement modes, which include: - Inception mode - Allows a 360 infinite spin on the pan axis when gimbal is held horizontally. - Sport - Increases the motor speed for fast paced subjects - Pan follow - follows the subject on the pan axis - Point of view - follows the subject on all axis - All lock - holds the camera steady in place even if the gimbal pan, tilts or rolls For tracking modes, the AI tracking reliably tracks moving targets and keeps them in frame for smooth and consistent video. The built-in fill light can be activated when needed and is a big help in certain tricky lighting environments. Controls are conveniently placed and easy to access during use. The controls are intuitive and become second nature after a few uses. I can also control the gimbal using virtual controls in the fluid app and hand gestures through the AI tracker. It’s easy switching between app and onboard controls when desired. The GoPro Fluid AI gimbal is both fun to use and useful for getting steady cinematic quality video. The manual could use some improving but the gimbal itself is solid and reliable. Once I familiarized myself with the device, it became much easier to use. Interestingly, I noticed that the Fluid app developer is listed as Shenzhen Hohem. I wasn’t familiar with Shenzhen Hohem, so I did a little research and discovered they make gimbals under the brand Hohem. While seeking out additional information regarding their relationship with GoPro, I saw that some Fluid Pro owners online claimed the Fluid Pro AI looks like a rebranded Hohem M7. I understand why they feel that way, but I don’t feel the same. While the Fluid Pro AI does have some striking similarities to Hohem’s M7 gimbal, they are two uniquely different devices in some key areas. I was never able to find out exact details regarding the relationship between Hohem and GoPro beyond the app because official details are scarce online. If anything, I’m inclined to believe the M7 may be the inspiration and starting template behind the Fluid Pro and Hohem may possibly manufacture the Fluid Pro for GoPro, but the two devices while similar in areas, are not identical. The fact that Hohem is the app developer leads me to believe this even more. However, that’s just my speculation. I have found nothing official to confirm this.

This is the first official GoPro branded 3-axis gimbal primarily for the Hero Black series and your cellphone. It arrived in its own padded carry case with both the cellphone grip and the GoPro connector with the finger base already attached. Also in the case was 2 charge cables (one for the unit and other for supplying power to devices), a tripod, and the Ai tracking accessory with fill light. I appreciate the generous space in the case that allows me to pop in a GoPro camera or 2. The gimbal itself is a typical unit you would find at a camera store that's rather bulky for its intended use. It also needs to be balanced before you turn on the gimbal. The process involves connecting the camera to the base, sliding it into the connector in a way that balances the camera facing upward, and sliding the roll bar, then locking it in. Once your camera or phone are balanced perfectly, the gimbal can be turned on, and you can begin using it. Understanding how to use all the features can be a daunting task, but if this is going to be your only gimbal, then it should be fine. I really like how the gimbal can be fine-tuned once on, including minute adjustments to the different motors, torque and speed settings, including a sport mode for quick reflexes. It includes the usual Pan Follow, Pan Tilt Follow, Lock, and POV, plus an additional inception mode which makes it look like you're swirling through a tunnel (great for transitions). Using the supplied mini tripod or a full size one, you can set and control Ai tracking with a few hand gestures (just make sure the sensor is facing in the right direction). There's also a point A to point B slow pan mode that you can set intervals from 1 minute to 2 hours. The fill light is pretty bright and can be incrementally adjusted 1% at a time, similarly, the light temp also has 6 or 7 settings, and the smooth side wheel makes it effortless to control. The GoPro camera battery on my 11 Black is notorious for its short lifespan, which is why the accessory charging cable is a must have. The cellphone attachment works really well and removes one step in the balancing process. It twists from portrait to landscape mode (though you need to slide your phone a bit to do it) The grip is deep enough to hold my foldable phone without issue, which is not easy to do (at a half inch thick). It connects to the camera using Bluetooth (slightly different prompts depending on model) and controls toggling from photo to video and zoom (only the latest model). Features are better with your phone connected and having the user-friendly Fluid pro app installed. In fact, the app is your ticket to not having to memorize the key sequences on the unit to do what you want. I took off a star because of its lack of portability and the tedious balancing act for connecting something weighing less than a pound. Otherwise, a very capable gimbal that's packed with features and, as long as you use the app, you're golden!

I really liked this gimbal, it did amazing work when I was on a hike. I have the GoPro Hero 13 Black and it paired with it via Bluetooth and I was able to control the GoPro using the Gimbal. The only thing I couldn’t quite figure out was how to update the firmware of the Gimbal itself. There doesn’t seem to be a place in the GoPro app, and the GoPro itself doesn’t seem to have the firmware on it. Perhaps this will be one of those situations where you have to update it from a PC or a Mac via USB-C. As mentioned before I used this on a couple hikes, but I also tried using it on a jog and driving in the mountains. The video looks incredibly good and stable. It seems to know when I want to turn when on a trail, but if I was just jogging on just grass, or something more free form, the turning would be slower, but it wasn’t bad by any means. I also had an idea and that was to use it at my place of work to get a POV video of a horse. So we put it on the horse’s head using a special helmet with a camera screw and the video was “okay”. Unfortunately the gimbal doesn’t have an up and down counter measure so the horses movement caused the video to look a little strange with ups and downs. I love this gimbal, and the fact it comes with a phone adapter as well, makes me enjoy it even more. The cons are that it's very complicated. If you don’t know what you’re doing, I don’t think you’ll just ‘figure it out’. You will and should read the instructions. It definitely helped me out. There’s a ton of different type of gestures you can do to switch it from vlog mode and more. It’s not a simple device. The battery life seems endless. I have yet to charge it and it’ll definitely outlast the GoPro in terms of battery endurance. It comes with a case that I do enjoy, but I wish it had a spot for more accessories that GoPro makes and had a spot for the GoPro itself. I was able to get it to fit some things nicely, but I wish it was more compatible with GoPro official accessories. That also means if you have a bunch of stuff or a case already for you GoPro and accessories, you have another thing to carry along with you because it’s not exactly small.

While I am not a full time or pro creator I have always wanted to step up my game when it came to capturing high quality content for my platforms with products that are easy to learn for even the most novice user. While I wasn't familiar with gimbals for "regular people" use I was intrigued when the opportunity to try the GoPro Fluid Pro AI came along. While I did have a GoPro camera in the past (it is no longer functional and I never got around to getting a replacement) I liked that this gimbal allowed for multi-device use giving me an opportunity to use it with what I already have while knowing that when I do get another GoPro camera I would be able to use it with this. The first thing I noticed when opening the box and storage case was how substantial the gimbal felt. Comfortable in the hand while clearly being made with great quality. Setup was fairly simple BUT I did have to seek out real use videos to make sure I was orientating things properly as the illustrations and the product photos for some reason were confusing to me. I won't go so far as to say that would be a common issue for others because I honestly think I was over thinking things. Other than that though setup was pretty simple. I downloaded the Fluid App and was able to connect the app and the gimbal automatically with no issues. There is an option to connect manually also which had clear to follow instructions but I did not need to use them. I did not test using a GoPro (as I stated, I no longer had a functioning one to use) but opted to use my iPhone 17 Pro Max. I also attempted to try my Canon EOS R50 but as I suspected it was not going to work as it is bigger/heavier than a small point and shoot camera and while I was able to connect it to the gimbal using the camera attachment it was too heavy to properly balance and left very little clearance room for movement. I was able to use my iPhone both with and without my everyday case on it thanks to the mobile attachment having great stretch to accommodate everything. The only con I could think of was that I wasn't able to use the Fluid app in a way that I could connect to a different bluetooth device to use as the remote while using my phone on the gimbal so in that scenario I didn't have that convenience and had to use the small buttons and screen directly on the gimbal. It may be possible to do it some other way but so far I have not been successful at finding a way to do it. This is of course an option if I was using a GoPro with the gimbal or a camera and using the phone as a remote). Footage I captured was crystal clear and automatically ready for content sharing platform use. The Fluid app has some built in features that make creating creative content easy for any novice that wants something quick and easy while they learn the other features for a more tailored and intentional shooting session. Ultimately, this is a great option for new content creators or more advanced users. Of course with a GoPro camera you would likely experience more but even with just using a non-GoPro camera or phone you can still achieve great content for any needs. I also want to mention that even when you're not using the gimbal you can use the Fluid app and it's camera OS for your regular phone camera use and may find it to be better than what the native camera app offers.

Go-Pro’s Fluid AI Pro gimbal is, overall, a pretty capable device for content creators. In my testing, I found Go-Pro’s Fluid AI Pro to be a capable device that is suitable for my needs—I mainly create amateur short-form videos for my own socials, requiring some tracking shots and basic movements. For these purposes, it performs well, no complaints here.  Build Its body is mostly a durable plastic, with some of the brackets being made of metal. I mainly shoot on iPhone, and its 400g payload capacity held up the weight of the new iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) without an issue. Compared to something like the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 (which I previously used, obviously much older and a little obsolete), it handles much better, balancing the iPhone with ease. It’s very robust and can handle the rougher movements associated with those jolty sports and action shots. Additionally, there’s still a lot of space left to attach extra lens attachments without going over its weight limit. One thing that I and many others have likely noticed, was that this gimbal seems like an exact replica of Hohem’s ‘M6 Smartphone Gimbal’. It has the same grip, same handle, same dial on its left side, and the same design of the joints. I’m not saying that this is a bad thing, but just something I noticed. The GoPro version does have the benefit of the connected app, which provides more control over your video and allows you to connect with the gimbal when shooting. Tracking/Performance The subject-tracking capabilities were okay, following a subject well when the composition was simple—for example: my face against the background of my room. When I tried tracking my finger, moving it across my face, it had difficulty distinguishing what the subject was—my face, or my finger, and it would either switch subjects to my face or disengage completely, unable to find a clear subject to track. In low light conditions (I just turned off the lights in my room with only some slight illumination from the moon outside), it would still be able to follow my face as I moved throughout the room. In more complex compositions involving many people and faces, say a subject walking through a crowd, I’m uncertain that it would be able to accurately track the subject. The AI tracking feature works well and does a good job of distinguishing between the subject and other possible distractions. It’s a pretty cool feature that also allows you to track the back of people and pets.  I appreciated the different gimbal movement modes—each have their merits and are pretty useful, adding another degree of functionality to the gimbal. For example, I wanted to get a cinematic shot of my friends and I running through the streets, so I set it to sport mode, which did a great job of handling my jerkish movements whilst tracking my friends.  In my opinion, it’s more suitable for creators that shoot action scenes as well as cinematic everyday life content. It’s rugged, and can handle jerkish movement with ease. The ability to mount multiple devices—GoPros, iPhones, and even compact cameras—gives it even more functionality for those who do shoot on multiple devices. If your shooting style involves these traits, the GoPro Fluid Pro AI is a great choice.

I have been using this Gimbal now for a week and have been pleasantly surprised with is performance. There are two main reasons on why this device created an excellent experience since unboxing - Tracking and build/design. Unboxing was amazing, all pieces come in a canvas zippered bag that tightly fits all stands, handles and pieces. This bag can be used in nearly all conditions as its built for the elements. This gimbal is sturdy, not just built tough but built from high grade materials. I have since used it for some biking and had no issues when it was dropped or bumped. I had noticed that there others out there are pretty flimsy but not this one. The tracking of this is insane. It can center your POI, follow it frame by frame or even do the following if the gimbal falls over. It has blown my mind that technology has come to a place where the camera man is almost becoming obsolete. This gimbal can be used for any go-pro camera but also for cell phones. If you are a new user to this type of a device then I would recommend looking into what stabilizers/trackers can do as it was not super intuitive on what functionality was possible. Their website does provide some guidance but not to the level I was expecting, not a deal breaker by any account. If you are a content creator that is looking to automate your video capturing experience then I would recommend this. It has nearly all of the bells and whistles that one would desire from any sort of a stabilizer/tracking device. All of the modes that are available around tracking come stock too.

You do not need to use this with a gopro camera. I did connect my gopro hero camera and it worked great, but I prefer to just use my phone in the gimbal instead. When you first get the gimbal skip over the user guide and just download the app for your phone. I spent an hour trying to get this thing to work because the user guide does not mention anything about the app at first. So do yourself favor and download the GoPro Fluid app and make your life much easier. Once I got the fluid app it made using the gimbal so simple. In the app you can select to use your phone as the gimble controller, select a motion time lapse, or motion control. You can also select use camera to open the camera on your phone to use in the gimble. I did my testing with an iPhone 14 pro in the gimble, and it worked perfectly. I was blown away by how many features are built into the fluid app that make using the gimble super easy. A couple of built in features are under the moment tab in the camera, one is inception (dreamy auto rotation), Dolly Zoom (cinematic visual enjoyments), panoramic video, and smart motion time lapse. I played around with these, and they were simple to use and get a professional looking video. When your camera is on you can use hand signals to start or stop recording. These hand signals worked every time without any issues. The Gimbal seems very well built and super sturdy. The controls are very easy to use on the gimbal itself or through your phone. The gimbal does have some locks on it for storage, and if you do not unlock them the screen on the gimbal will let you know. Also, if using a phone, you have to make sure its balance correctly on the gimbal (you can easily adjust these settings), if not the gimbal will give an error and turnoff. It took me forever to figure out that my phone was off centered and putting too much weight on one side causing the error. This would be a great gimbal for anyone who is a video blogger, or just like creating fun cinematic videos. The more and more I use the gimble the easier it gets to use and I'm able to create pretty cool videos.

Wow, this was an opening for me into the "Gimbal World!" I very much enjoyed it. Yes, you can use your phone with the GoPro Fluid Pro AI. But to me, phones are no fun. Bring on the GoPro Hero 13! Now this was a setup I very much enjoyed. It's a lightweight, fun setup. Let's jump into setting everything up. This was my first Gimbal of any sort. Setting the Fluid Pro AI was simple. I did go online and look at the setup and followed the video. After setting up the gestures and syncing everything. I was ready to go. I was not much of a fan of Action Cameras. They do have their niche but this was much more enjoyable. Being able to keep your camera angled and leveled at all times is always a plus. Having the included tripod base is also another additional feature. The Gimbal had multiple adjustments on the device. Allowing you to tilt, turn, and rotate the camera. Leveling everything and getting my GoPro 13 just right took about 5 minutes. With 3 quick clicks of the trigger, the Gimbal will flip and access "Selfie Mode." It just turns the Gimbal's front-facing camera to you. My only complaint is as someone with BigHands, the grip can feel small. Thank you, GoPro for introducing me into the Gimbal World.

As a newer user to gimbals, and specifically AI gimbals, I am blown away by this GoPro Fluid Pro AI gimbal! I have been a youtube content creator for about 4 years now and have typically used static mounts for my iphone whenever recording content. That is fine but doesn't always produce that dynamic shot that you want. I dabbled with a lower cost gimbal in the past with mixed results, but this GoPro multi-device gimbal stabilizer with AI tracking really is a game changer. Setting it up did pose a challenge to me, not due to complexity, but because the instructions were not explicit, and I didn't want to break my brand-new gimbal on its first outing. I saw the physical locks for the main head of the gimbal, but the swing arm just clip-locks into place, and I ended up realizing that when I put it down at just the right angle, and the arm unlocked from its position. It wasn't instantly apparent that that was the way to unlock it, just by pulling it. Clearer instruction for a newer user would be beneficial there. Anyways, unlocking out of the way, setting up my iPhone on the gimbal was very straight forward. Basically, the goal is to balance the phone on all axis, so that it doesn't droop or fall at all. There are locking levers and sliders that allow you to do this very easily. Now, I am using this with an iPhone, as that is how I capture, create, edit, narrate and release my content, all in my phone. However, this gimbal is suited, obviously to GoPro and similar cameras, some vlogging cameras, and also, with the adapter, phones as well. It's a nice, versatile gimbal with different mounting options. Once mounted and balanced, when you turn it on, it effectively leaps into life, swinging around and seamlessly floating your camera/phone in place. It's almost mesmerizing when you move the gimbal around and the phone stays upright. Twist your hand left and right and you can pan your camera/phone. There's a joystick on there to fine tune your phone's position (up or down, side to side etc). My favorite mode is (PF) - Pan follow. To me this is the most fluid range of motion and captures what I want with ease. Download the companion GoPro Fluid App for even more control over your gimbal. Yes, you can actually use your phone as a remote control (if you aren't using it for recording) using the app! With the AI tracking, you can set it up on its provided tripod, and then using the app, you can use hand gestures to control the way the gimbal follows you around. On the top right of the gimbal is a small camera that tracks you and moves the gimbal around. There is also a light on top of the gimbal to add some light to your face. You can control the color temperature and brightness of the light as you need it. The gimbal can hold a device up to 400g and offers a full 360 degree pan capability with 3-axis stabilization, and can be controlled effortlessly with either the on board joystick if you are using it hand-held, or via gesture control as I mentioned, with 'start/stop' recording, 'AI tracking on' and 'AI tracking off' features pre-programmed into the app. This really adds to the ease of use of this product, especially compared to what I have used in the past. This makes it a lot less daunting to use! The gimbal claims to have a battery life of up to 18 hours, but more than that, you can actually plug your phone/camera into the gimbal and power it back up from the battery in the gimbal. Now that's pretty neat! As far as what you get with this set, you have the gimbal itself, a phone mount, a 1/4-20 screw mount, a light with built in AI tracking camera, a charging cord for the gimbal, a cable to connect your camera/phone to the gimbal to charge, a tripod stand and a carry case. Overall, my experience so far with this gimbal has been fantastic, and it's made me rethink how I can add to my content. My previous experience left me frustrated, but this gimbal has made it so easy to capture new views, new angles, new content overall - it's even going make something as the simple opening to my videos a lot more interesting and professional. Absolutely love this GoPro Fluid Pro AI gimbal!

This gimbal does a really nice job smoothing out footage and making handheld shots look much more controlled. Whether you are walking, filming content on the move, or just trying to avoid shaky video, it gives your footage a cleaner and more professional look. The AI tracking is a nice feature and adds real convenience, especially for solo creators who are filming themselves. Being able to keep the subject framed more consistently makes the whole setup feel smarter and more useful instead of just being a basic stabilizer. I also like that it works across multiple devices, which gives it broader usefulness. Overall, it feels like a solid tool for content creators, casual video shooters, or anyone who wants better-looking footage without a huge learning curve.

The GoPro Fluid Pro AI is a significant departure from standard action camera accessories, offering a high-end stabilization solution that bridges the gap between smartphones and dedicated cameras. What sets this gimbal apart is its universal mounting system, which handles everything from a HERO13 Black to compact point-and-shoots and mobile phones up to 400g. The standout feature is the AI Subject Tracking module, which uses a dedicated sensor to lock onto faces or bodies, ensuring you stay perfectly framed even during solo shoots. This is complemented by an integrated fill light with adjustable color temperature, a lifesaver for vlogging in unpredictable lighting. While the 18-hour battery life is impressive in standard mode, it does drop to around 6–8 hours with active AI tracking and lighting enabled—still plenty for most production days. Its 360° unlimited pan and orthogonal motor design provide cinematic flexibility that internal electronic stabilization simply cannot match, especially in low-light conditions where software-based leveling often struggles. Though priced at $229.99, its ability to serve as a power bank and its multi-device versatility make it an essential investment for creators who refuse to be limited to a single camera type. Open box deal is even a no brainer deal.

As with other reviewers, I found that the setup required some patience, and it is definitely best to have the manual in hand (at this time, I did not find many instructional videos online, even on the GoPro website). The manual however is not the best at showing what to do. I agree with one reviewer about the arm lock, with one (roll) arm just clipping into or out of place, I actually emailed support to ask this, but I don’t think I got a response. Mounting the GoPro camera involves some directionality as the arms can rotate “inside out”, which is in the manual, and is activated by 4 trigger pulls, and is still a mystery to me about why this is so. Other observations: Inception mode is via “mode” button, 3 pushes, Sport mode, pull and hold trigger, Push and hold control button to turn light on/off. Bluetooth took a few try’s to connect to GoPro13 and I think was successful when I turned off iPhone/iPad settings, and has held the pairing. AI tracking took a few try’s too, and is cool when activated, a real plus. Other pros are that this gimble can handle 3 devices as long as the total weight is less than 400g. I was successful mounting my iPhone and a smaller point and shoot camera which definitely needs stabilization for 4K video. GoPro Fluid app worked good and updated the firmware easily. There are many settings which can be accessed via the Fluid app as well. While I have a simpler unit (Hohem) for the GoPro, this one is a nice upgrade and well worth it

AI stabilization is really good. Easy to set up and to carry along. Grip quality is good, the product bulky.

We love video and we travel. And this thing is a game changer. All of the reviews are spectacular.It's exactly as advertised, so don't hesitate buy it!

Excellent gimble! A little difficult to get the hang of setup with just the booklet provided. Exceeds expectations once setup properly! Vastly improved quality of videos taken on Samsung Galaxy S23!
