    So, I actually own 5 gimbals. All of which are bulky and for expensive camera equipment. I need something to travel light with and to be able capture those unexpected moments with my kids. This fit the bil perfectly. Works great and even has controls on it for my iPhones video settings. Couldn’t be happier.

    Works great if I remove the cellphone case. But when I put it on it is not holding it stable.

    This product did well when using smaller phones. I initially had used it with an iPhone X, and it worked well and had great image stabilization. However, once I upgraded to an iPhone XS Max, it was too heavy, and the gyroscope did not allow for the camera to be leveled. Provided an uneven camera angle.

    basic functions work pretty well. The pairing procedures in the instructions leave a lot to be desired and still have not been able to pair to my phone. But the basic functions worked well enough. The app involved with the product is obviously not English as the primary language and has few instructions.

    The only reason I dont give five stars is that the controls get inverted quite a bit and I dont know why.

    Not Recommended. iOS Software is Buggy

    All Gimbals may look similar but they are not created equal. The Zhiyun seems like a good deal and value, it comes with lots of extras in the box (case, carry strap, USB cables) but what makes or breaks a gimbal is the software on your phone. Why? Because the software makes your Gimbal smart, you need it for calibration, and for features like auto-follow. Unfortunately, the Zhiyun software is buggy, unintuitive, requires constant pairing every use, and is generally just a pain (3.2 stars on the iOS app store). Skip this gimbal or spend a few more bucks for a better name brand with way better software (and US support)

    Great price. Works great. When using the software you can choose a person or object you want to track and it tracks it excellent! You can buy a stand for the handheld gimbal place it on a tripod select an object or person to track and it would do the rest for you. Best product for this! Better than the DGI.

    Works like it should. While its powered up, it seems pretty easy to damage if not careful.
