    Great stabilizer. I have minimal photo/video experience but this is amazing for vacation memories. Lots of YouTube tips of this model to learn to be an expert. Worth every penny. Would recommend to anyone

    The device works well at first use and is very reponsive. However, the app software this needs to work with its features us horrible and needs updates. But after just a few days the auto rotation feature stopped working properly and will not rotate my phone back to the portrait position. The device also has a lot of calibration issues and sometimes reads that my phone is not perfectly balanced even though it is placed properly on the gimbal.

    We use this every day. The interface with the app is a little wonky so we just use it as a gimbal.

    I really like this stabilizer. I got it just in time for Thanksgiving, so I had fun using it with my family at dinner and then later as we went out to the mall. It was very easy to set up and to connect my phone. Great product and highly recommended.

    The Zhiyun Smooth Q-3 Gimbal is a major disappointment. Its design feels flimsy, and the built-in LED light is weak. The gimbal struggles to stabilize, causing shaky footage. The detachable tripod stand is equally unreliable. Overall, a frustrating and unreliable product. Save your money and invest in a more dependable stabilizer for your phone.
