    I purchased this as a gift for someone that was just getting into videography, she uses her Iphone to create beautifully crafted youtube videos and music videos. It takes a little getting use to but once you figure it out your be a pro.

    This things is awesome... for stabilizing your mobile video. No I didnt install the native software... don’t really need it. Learning curve is easy and the controls are intuitive.

    Granted, this is the lower tier of the product line, but the instructions and setup are not easy to follow. Additionally, you can only film or record from within the app. Lame!

    This is perfect for iPhone or Gopro. You can fit the gopro in sideways and then adjust clockwise to use. I've done it with both devices and see amazing smooth footage.

    Was a little difficult to set up but once we got it working, the videos were fantastic. Even riding a bike or skateboarding, the videos looked very stable and professional.

    This was my first gimbal and it's a little tricky learning how to use it. There aren't any instructions to help you understand how to use it, but luckily I was able to learn from watching Youtube videos. I'm still figuring things out but am pretty happy with it.

    This does everything the Osmo Mobile does at a lower price. OK, it doesn't integrate with Filmic Pro like the DJI, but that's not enough reason to spend more money

    Best bang for your buck, you can shoot quality video. Just be sure your phone does not weigh over 200 grams. My note 8 is 195 grams which is close to the payload weight

    It's ok, but sometimes difficult to operate

    This gimbal is good once you get it set up. I had problems with getting my phone installed into the gimbal. I have an LG V20 with a very thin case and it would not stay in with the case on. After I removed the case it fit snug and I felt comfortable that it would not fall out. The part I had an issue with was activating the different modes by rapidly pressing the required button. Sometimes it would work, but most times it wouldn't. This led to some frustration. Once it was in the mode you want, better not try to switch it because it will not work like you think at a moments notice. That could cause you to miss some video you were trying to get.

    Now that app support has finally been added it's more interesting than before. The zoom is still not smooth which makes it basically useless. Footage is smooth once you learn the quirks of operating the gimbal.
