For the price it is grate. Although the motors can handle a bit more than the dji osmo’s for a phone it still has a bit of an issue with an iPhone 12 pro max which i think is a bit of issue. Did not want to put my sony camera on this unit due to it not being able to handle it. I think think this would work tremendously with lighter phones.

This stabilized all my iPhone videos. Using this with the 14 pro max cinematic mode was great! This is my first time using a gimbal , so it wasn’t that easy. But after one YouTube tutorial that lasted about 10 minutes, I was a pro! Went to Disney and all the videos came out great!

Tried to connect with my Sony A7C. Everything worked except the capture video button. Not sure if this even has photo capabilities. Tried to get the capture button to work by connecting through bluetooth, wifi and USB . Went to youtube for assistance, nothing worked

I may have to return it. I tried to set the gimbal up on the app and the app said the serial number was registered to another account. Its a good gimbal for mid to small sized dslr

This product is not for beginners. I wish I had listened to the reviews. It’s very difficult to setup. I watched many YouTube videos, still no luck. Even took it back to best buy and had geek squad take a look at it. No luck. Geek squad couldn’t get it to work, so they just labeled it defective instead of taking time to try and get it balanced. I do not recommend this product.

I was comparing this between dpi ronin sc and finally go with this after tons of research. exceed my expectation. Have to mention that the display screen gets you well informed of the status and parameters of your camera and gimbal.
