Great Hardware but useless software
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the gimbal to compare with my other gimbal I have and perhaps use my phone more to take videos. Gimbal works great with IOS app but Android app will not work at all. I own Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, S8+, and S9+, and the android app will not record video. Tech support is useless. I will be returning this unit back to best buy.

Motor was burned out out of the box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just like the title says. Bought one of these over the DJI model and the motor to pan was completely fried. If you read online there are quite a few people who were also having the same issue. The only fix was them offering to replace the gimbal.

Hard to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is really hard to use, especially if you need it to be held horizontally. I'm not sure if it doesn't work with an iPhone XR or if I'm doing it wrong. Will take it to Best Buy for Geek support, but if you're an amateur like me I found it really hard to understand.

Good for beginner usage
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for beginner usage. Unfortunately it ran hot a lot and trying to figure out how the controls work was very confusing. Once getting the controls to work it worked great....the really bad thing was the overheating which would halt usage.

Virtually useless
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does not have the power to move an iPhone X and will not track after a couple seconds. Also will not hold a charge long enough to be of any use whatsoever. I wish I could return it but the return policies in place are extremely difficult to get in place.

Works well with phone sized cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this stabilizer to use with an adapter for the Yi 4K+. It took a little time to setup and balance, but was not more than 15 minutes. Very pleased with the results.

Terrible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worse than useless. The thumb control was extremely slow and made manual tracking at anything above a walk impossible. The auto tracking was worse, it could not track my kid wear neon yellow against a dark background. This is not the gimbal that you are looking for.

Wouldn't recommend it...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The videos it plays back on my Galaxy S7edge show a still frame while audio plays, then when the audio is done, the video plays, but with no audio... very peculiar. Ended up returning it.

Garbage
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolute garbage. Not capable of doing any of the things you need it to do. It is designed to hold an holder generation iPhone (6 or earlier). Anything recent will be way too heavy for it to handle.

Battery died after first use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just like the title says the battery did not charge and currently is inoperable! Loved using this when it was charged. I'll definitely be getting the same product, but from a different manufacturer!
