    This is an expensive unit and difficult to balance. Be prepared to spend some time on setup, it is not as simple as plug and play. Instructions are poor, go to YouTube for setup instructions.

    Easy to use. As a newbie learning to balance the camera was a little challenge, but I would purchase again. Makes recording content so much easier.

    I have used this with my iPhone and Canon Powershot point and shoot. It works really good as long as you balance correctly. I wish the gopro attachment came with the product. Overall happy!

    Works pretty good overall. For my weird use case it can be a bit sensitive. If you operate your camera with cables attached (usb / hdmi) it can easily lose sync and fail to operate. Besides this it works great.

    Great with Sony A6600 + kit lens but...

    But that’s pushing it. With the Sony A6600, you cannot use vortex mode. It’s too heavy for this gimbal. But overall it does basic stabilization for what I needed.

    There's a learning curve and it will get frustrating. From learning how to balance. To getting that steady shot that you like. To connecting it with you camera. Personally I use the Sony zv1 and they connect like wifi. You'll have times where the gimbal will say tilt access locked. Simply means you have to readjust how you set up. I put my camera in the middle slot! The inner slot is not made for the zv maybe the RX 100. I can't wait to get some greater footage for new years

    A big disappointment

    The setup is cumbersome, the unit gets confused frequently, battery life is limited and ultimately it just doesn't deliver the smooth pans and zooms one is hoping to achieve. Surely I could practice more and perfect my technique, but then again, I could do this with my own two hands using the camera and deliver about the same results. The biggest let down? It is NOT compatible with Sony A6000
