    I needed a stabilizer to shoot videos and someone recommended me this gimbal. I’ve been using it for my iPhone and GoPro 3 and it is awesome.

    Good quality handle and mount for my phone. Allows you to get far better angles you could never get without help or doing something dangerous

    I love it, but the only downside to it is that if you live in Florida the heat definitely cuts the time in half because it over heats.

    The app and instructions are not user friendly. I have an iPhone Max which is difficult to use with the Gimble due to the size of the phone.

    The Gimbal does not work with the camera of the Samsung S10 phone. The Gimbal app with the camera has to be used. (The app is about 3 stars at best). The problem is that the gimbal would shuts itself down after about a minute with no reason when the app is used. It is just frustrating. I returned it. Great job with Best Buy with the return experience.

    It's ok. It works, but is difficult to remember the various modes. If you use it daily, i could see it would be easier to use/remember.

    One of my dreams to have one Gimbal, as a frequent traveler it's so nice to get one of this. Definitely your money worth.

    It’s a great concept and good price but it is not something I would recommend. It has the oddest charging situation and I don’t know how long it will stay charged.

    I was quite disappointed in this product especially cause my phone is too big (iPhone 8 plus) and the selfie stick was not able to be balance and calibrated.
