    While more expensive stabilizers may have more bells and whistles, this does a great job and is very easy to use. Definitely worth the price.

    I got this to help me get stable footage with my phone. I use it to vlog, and also to try and get some cinematic stuff here and there for my YouTube channel. It works very well with the ZY Play app, I have an android phone, the note 9 to be specific. The app isn't perfect, and it is a little tricky to figure out, but is super helpful. I really like that I can program it to do moving time lapses. You have to know how to walk with a gimbal though. You gotta walk heel/toe and like a ninja or you will see some bumping in the finished product. This will be noticable if you're trying to walk and take a video at the same time.... selfie mode is fine no matter what though. But if you are trying to get a video of a trail while you walk, that's where you gotta walk softly. I have another gimbal for my DSLR also, same thing with that. It's a very good product for the price point. It's relatively light, easy to set up (it was for me anyways). If you want to walk around and get stable footage for a vlog, this will help. If you want to capture cinematic stuff for videos, this will help you. The moving time lapse feature is so cool. The carrying case is also super duper handy. Really like that they give you a case.

    Happy I bought this, but this gimbal is probably best for smaller iPhones or small cameras. When it works its great and easy to use. It’s not strong enough to hold a iPhone 8 Plus for long periods as you can feel the motor start to heat real bad after half an hour, but I would recommend getting it for a beginner or someone who wants to play around with a gimbal for a couple shots

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Well made product, though a lot of plastic. If you haven’t used a gimbal before, it takes mich practice. Look forward to learning to use it.

    We purchased this during the Pandemic to do Virtual Open Houses. First- Safely remove your phone from it's case! We found that our Samsung Galaxy 10 operated better/ balanced as soon as the case was removed. This is not a take it out of the box and go! We highly recommend getting used to walking around with it before using it for an important event! It's very delicate!

    I'm a serious youtuber. I have like 7 subscribers and Im sure with the smoother footage I'm getting with this awesome gimbal, the subscriber count will dramatically increase! All kidding aside, it's new, it's cool, it works as advertised and will significantly increase the quality of video you get from your phone. If you're thinking about buying it, just do it.
