Was getting frustrated at first but as I use it more and more I am happy with the purchase. Biggest issue is that you do not know what mode its in. The instructions didn't emphasize the importance of balancing your phone before using it. This is very important or the gimbles will overheat and shut down. I learned this by watching YouTube videos instead of the instructions. But overall, I am happy.

Bought this for my Gopro hero 3 and 5. The hero 3 was sitting on the shelf until this purchase. Gopros are one of the worst cameras to walk around with. TOO SHAKY. This gimbal smooth out the footage so well I went and bought the Hero 5 and bring the two with me everywhere I go now.

I have been doing some videos with just my phone in hand and it's always jumpy and move around to much. I bought this from a lot of reviews and I was not disappointed at all! Works great with my galaxy s9 plus. Setup was easy and updating the gimbal was easy as well.

Used it a lot to make videos. Completely changes the game with this gimbal. With some video editing and color grading this will make your videos from your phone look very cinematic. This priduct is pretty light and compact.

I like this gimbal a lot. I’ve made some very cool cinematic videos with it. It is also very light so you can film quite a while without getting tired. Battery is decent too.

Using this Gimbal with a GoPro7 and have used it for several client shoots. For the price, it met my expectations. You have to remember to press the up-down controller in the opposite direction in order to use it properly and it has some balance issues when you go too high or too low but otherwise I would recommend it to beginners.

This Gimbal worked perfectly, balancing my cell phone. But when I put another cell phone on it, larger one, it had balancing issues. Make sure to use a phone that is not so heavy...otherwise it is worth purchasing.

This gimbal works very well the only thing it doesn't do is hold a phone vertically so if you want to go live on IG or FB then you can't use this for it or at least I haven't found a way to fit the phone in the gimbal.

I got this item on sale. I was a bit concerned when I read the instructions. There were several mentions of the product overheating and potential fire hazard. So far I've had no issues, but I'm a little worried about the product's longevity. As far as functionality, the product has lived up to expectations.

used this on a recent vacation. I did not feel like spending $200+ on something that I would most likely only use occasionally. The gimbal worked exactly as described, and provided smooth video recording from my cell phone. takes some practice to get used to the buttons and features, and the app GUI interface worked rather well. overall pleasantly surprised with this entry level gimbal.
