    Great device to help stabilize your videos off your iPhone or android. Really makes the videos clear and reduces a lot of unnecessary movements for your memories. Good beginner gimbal, just with there was a telescopic feature for farther selfies and shots.

    Recently bought this product and have loved it right from the start. Easy to set up and use. Gives great stability for video which results in much better quality recording.

    For the price of only a hundred dollars, this thing is amazing. It doesn’t the job The only think I have to say negatively about it is the app is almost unusable.

    Excellent product at an extraordinary price in comparison with gopro karma. You have to play around with it before you get use to it. The only bad thing is that the gopro picks up the noise of the working mechanism, I used it with no adapter, I hang it directly.

    Good for its price point. The native app is a bit clunky, and the on-board controls don't seem to work with third-party apps very well (if at all). But to just have a basic motion stabilizer with some simple controls, this is a great value.

    Great for starters and for ease of use. I have a Ronin and some other drones and accessories so I realized I didn't really need it. But great tool for the everyday blogger.

    With a very easy modification to my GoPro 7 Black's case I've solved the problem of blocking the rear screen. A little glue and a screw in from an old tripod and removal of the factory holder and inserting the screw in holder and it's perfect. It maintains balance and does not need any adapter to hold the GoPro, which greatly reduces the extra weight. Just keep the factory holder which easily reattach when needed. I've also bought a Smooth 4 for my Samsung Galaxy s9 plus. This is the best product line I've used in the area of stabilizer gimbal.

    The 8 plus can work but you cant do a full rotation around due to the size. also for some reason the live tracking feature does not work with the 8 plus. Other than that i am very happy i bought it. I am using it for Real Estate walk through video

    This may not be a DJI Osmo Mobile but definitely can compete for the price. I had a DJI osmo for couple of day and hoping to love it but it could not handle the weight of my iPhone 7 Plus so I returned it in replacement for this one. So far so good . App is a little clunky but figured out how to use it. It can’t control the Filmic pro app like the osmo does. This one I think has Stronger motors and does not overheat like the counter part brand. I would recommend this to anyone who is wanting to have smooth videos without hitting the back hard.

    I was looking for a gimble and did a little research and this one got pretty high reviews for the price. I like it, but need to use it a bit more. I guess I don't shoot as many vids as I thought I would.

    This is my first gimbal, from initial usage it feels like a quality product. It's nice that it comes with a case. Also, be sure to take your phone out of it's case to setup and balance. I am using a Galaxy S8+.
