    Had already used one of these so I knew what I was getting into. Works better than the others of the same price.

    I had another hand held stabilizer prior to this one, but I like this one way better. It's pretty easy to use.

    I was a bit worried about the weight, but after trying it out, it worked great with the D750 with a 50mm lens. It took a while to figure out how to balance properly, but once you learn it, its easy. Especially for this price, amazing stabilizer.

    Very good gimbal, very versatile and steady for almost any shot you can take with it. It’s just a pain in the butt to calibrate though, even more so than other gimbals I’ve had in the past.

    Product Does Well Occasionally

    The Crane definitely does well once you balance the camera. Keyword = once. It did take some time with balancing a camera with a 135mm lens like on the package (so long that I did have to look at a video for assistance). The measurement indicators on it helped after the initial balancing (just remember to have the camera in the positions that you are going to use, including the zoom and having the lens cap off before you take measurements). The battery life is pretty good. I believe I got at least 5 hours of consistent usage without turning it off. When you switch modes, it is sensitive to handling so the slightest movement will activate the device and may throw off your shot. I use a canon 80d with a 18-135 mm lens and it still works well for me today.

    This is my first motorized stabilizer. I'm only one test shot in with my son and I'm already in love! So smooth! Only downside is the instructions when calibrating is horrid. Search for a YouTube video and you'll be fine. Great product.

    Camera gear is expensive. For the price this is a great solution to stabilize your shots! You will need to spend some time figuring out how to balance this and set it up to work with your camera but you can’t beat the value!

    It is great for takin videos and shots when on a trail or a hike or even a roadtrip not the lightest but not as heavy as some other ones a little frustrated to set up but still worth it in the end

    Smaller cameras and lenses work great on this gimbal. If you are trying to use this with a longer zoom lens I would not recommend it as balancing will be very difficult. Works best with sony cameras, but my other Nikon works just fine

    It’s worth the price, the only downside is the weight limit. If you have a bulky canon camera you will be limited on the lenses you can use. Other than that, great gimbal.

    The quality and workmanship was very good. I had trouble during the balance process. I returned the item after several attempts. I am sure that it does a great job, but instructions were not very clear.

    It's rather heavy so it's not great for travel. I have back problems so I ended up returning it and got the Weebill-S. It's good for productions with heavier cameras.

    A bit difficult to balance due to a microphone but seems to be an overall good stabilizer for the price. And it was the only one offered in stores.
