    I bought it with high expectations however it never work for me. The battery that was supposed to have a 12 hour life charged for only few minutes. It was a nightmare trying to calibrate it. The command buttons did not respond as expected. I end up returning it to Best Buy after a frustrating disappointment on my trip to Argentina where I was not able to use it.

    Was good on the first day, but it started jerking on and off on me the next day. I was using my Samsung S9+ and I am sure I charge it the night before.

    This works very well. The iPhone app is not very useful, however. But, you don't have to use the app.

    A good help in taking photos and videos in most stable way. Almost similar to known brand but it can do the same work. Still figuring out if I can mount it on a tripod or selfie stick so I can use it much on may phone.

    This product is a great product for those who intend on filming themselves stationary. If your going to be using this for any kind of sports i highly reccomend choosing another model besides this one. It has a very hard time keeping up with moderate to fast movements and the entire app is in another language and its unchangeable.
