    A little tricky to understand at first but then becomes something you always use

    This is a nice Gymbal but would not work with all phones. If your phone is heavier this gymbal will not be able to handle it. It needs lighter phones. I tried on iphone 7 and it worked well, but when I tried it on samsung s8+, it would not work. So if you have a phone thats not heavy in weight, it would work well.

    I was worried about the brand but it's been exactly what needed. Pairing is easy and so is stabilizing the phone before using. This can be used with the very large phones we now have. I've used it with a Galaxy Note 10+

    It is probably a nice device but it comes with no instructions as to how to make it function. Not in. English anyways. It wouldn’t stay stable and do what it was suppose to do. I can’t really give it a bad rating because maybe it wasn’t meant for the iPhone 10.

    Great for beginners, I would consider this a great way to instruct someone on how to use a gimbal. There are better models but this does a great job in providing stabilization for videos on PHONE.

    Hooked up my iPhone SE and it worked flawlessly. Smooth video is all I needed and the Zhiyun did the job. I got it on sale which was even better. Battery life is amazing. it will outlast your phone camera and record time.

    App ruins this device

    The required app is slow, not intuitive, and kept disconnecting from the device. The tracking feature was so slow it was practically useless. The gimbal physically worked well but to have any control you need the app, which is bad.

    Obviously this isn’t going to compare to profesional grade equipment, but is certainly as close as you’re going to get! I bought this as kind of a back up, but with how small and light it is, I’m tempted to switch over for the most part!
