This is an awesome gimbal by GoPro.
There is 2 things they cab improve.
1. The battery last the most 1:45.
One if the reasons us because is charging the camera at the same time. Something they can perfect.
They should give us the option to let the gimbal charge the camera when we want or after certain percentage.
Making the battery replaceable would work as well.
2. the gimbal covers half of the camera screen.
Other than that.
Its great

So far my GoPro grip has been working flawlessly for me. I have used it several times without any issues operation wise, I will have to say that it is a bit tricky to get the GoPro inserted the 1st couple times without applying pressure but after the 1st couple times you get the feel of how it snaps in. I know that there has been reported audio issues with the GoPro Grip but I have not experienced any but I must say there is a bit of muffled sound but all the videos I do are to music anyway but that's how I use mine your experience may be different. One issue is the price if you shop around there are many gimbals out there but I bit the bullet and bought the GoPro Karma Grip because it was made for my GoPro there are plenty of gimbals out there but many have to be modified or added accessories need to be purchased to use the GoPro.... but the price is high! Good luck in your selection!

Great piece of hardware to use with your Gopro, eliminates most/all of the jerkiness of filming while moving. I bought a backpack strap attachment and wore it facing forwards and had no major issues. The battery life is solid, on its own about 2 hours, if you have a good powerbank it'll probably last you a good 6+ hours. It also keeps your gopro charged, so once it dies, you lose the stabilizer but still have a fully charged gopro.
Caveat: I only used it while walking/hiking, so I can't vouch for how it does at high speeds.
Only 3 negatives:
1) $300 is super pricey for an accessory.
2) When wearing it, the buttons are obscured from view, and a little hard to see (you'll quickly learn to find them by feel.)
3) Its not water resistant, so it can't go everywhere a GoPro goes.

I should have paid more attention to the trim level of go pro i needed.
It also felt expensive for a device which has been discontinued.
But. Videos are smooth.

Alittle bulkey but it does stabilize the camera so when you play it back it looks really good. I would also recommend to get the extension cable as well

This is a must have. My build pro would not be the same without this device. It enables me to charge my GoPro and have life on it along with having stability during recording. This device stabilizes the images in tough situations and the videos, out perfect every time.

I am a semi- professional videographer and have traveled the world using high-end equipment to catch the perfect shot for the movie or video shoot I was working on. I’ve even taught people how to use a steadi-cam and I have to give it to Go-Pro for their genius design here with the Karma grip and gimbal stabilizer. It is very similar to the quality of movement you get (or don’t get in this case) when using the Karma grip. I would strongly encourage you to go on YouTube and watch the following demo of a normal GoPro Hero 8 and one with this Karma Grip. https://youtu.be/4lkT0ZjTDiI
Don’t forget to get the waterproof case for it too. It’s definitely needed due to the nature of the unit.

Bought this product. Great. Very easy to use. Be sure to buy a traveling case. I guess it’s not all that necessary anymore since all the newer gopros have built in stabilization

This Karma Grip Stabilizer is AWESOME! Easy to use and combined with my GoPros (4 and a 6) the images are simply stunning. People think I shot these videos with a drone, it is that good! I highly recommend this if you are in to GoPro videos.

The stabilization is amazing but overall the thing is a bit awkward. The weight makes it difficult to use when moving quickly, however I’m using it quite a bit.

This is a great "steady-cam" device for GoPro cameras. It can be worn on a helmet or chest, or mounted on a bike, to really smooth out action videos. Excellent in-store service by Bruce, who answered my questions.

Very helpful with video stabilization. Best part is it is designed explicitly for GoPro 7 and you don't have to do balanced setup. This doesn’t work for the GoPro 8. There is a hum in my videos I think from the motor. It would have been nice to have a thread on the bottom for an extension. There is a slot for a strap but doesn't come with one.
