    It is making my handheld shot of videos very smooth, like it! Some practice is needed. Battery lasts for a long time! Good product.

    The device is very handy to capture the videos without any hand vibrations. I could n't use for long time, as the weight of the device and phone heavy. May not be problem for all...

    Wish there was an easy way to go through the different modes. I have an iPhone 7 Plus and you have to take the case off. Not that easy to put phone in because where you put the phone it is spring loaded so you have to hold the piece open and at the same time manage to put your phone in. I have to do it sitting on the couch or bed just Incase I drop my phone without the case. I think I will be returning it. But when I did use the product the video came out nice. Butter smooth as they say. I also had a $10 reward when I purchased so it was only $69

    It’s a great gimbal. Even though it says it supports us size phones. For example, iPhone 8 Plus, it was too heavy on one side. Returned it but stabilaztion was great!

    It's every good, I like it, especially the stabilizer you can run and walk it still handle very good. But the reason I give it a 4 stars only because I can't used it for my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

    Instructions helped but learned more on YouTube (they explain things not in the manual) Works great with iPhone Xs Max. Works with GoPro but internal mic picks up the gimbals mechanics working inside the device.

    I tried it out on my Iphone XS MAX - it worked well. However, it was a bit too heavy for my taste. Definitely need to get use to it. Setup was easy with the stabilizer app.

    Very stable and does its job well. Only complaint is that when the arm is balanced to my phone, it does not fold and does not fit into case.

    Pros: Definitely helped take stable videos 360 Turning was a very nice feature Battery life was impressive Cons: Several malfunctions on powering on, would end up vibrating and not turning on. Lost out on a few moments while using this on my first vacation. Not something you need to use through out the day when out on vacation. Might not want to carry around another piece of equipment.

    This gimbal works well for the iPhone 8plus, but be warned the camera ok the 8plus isn’t that great. I primarily use my GoPro with this gimbal, which seems to work well, just make sure that you buy the peoper adapter.

    I think newer action cam’s or new phone’s digital stabilization is good enough. Of course, this will give you great stabilization, it is just too bulky to carry this with you....

    If you're looking for a gimbal this is a great choice. It has Bluetooth capability. A battery built in to help charge your USB devices. And many moving functions to make the process as easy as possible. I use this gimbal with my Lenovo VR180 camera and my iPhone 8. It can be a little goofy with a small camera like the Lenovo VR180 mirage camera but it still works just fine. For iPhones, it works perfectly.

    honestly i cannot calibrate it well enough to hold my iPhone 7 Plus....and it still vexed me. It works well with smaller phones. I will try more approaches. If it still does not work, I will return it.

    Our son uses this - and loves to play with it. It works fairly well and is reasonably priced. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but is a good beginning one.
