Great gimbal for the money
This is my first gimbal of any kind, and I am very pleased with it. Took it on a trip to get some better quality videos out of my camera, and was not disappointed. I think this is a great value.Pros:- works as expected, keeping the camera steady while moving, walking and panning- quiet motors- excellent battery life- handy joystick for correcting / adjusting motion- phone app allows additional control of certain settings, e.g. how quickly the individual axes should converge to where you want the cam to be when panning (speed of "follow") etc.Cons:- manual is a bit skimpy, but contains enough info to get going- the design of the bracket holding the cam could be improved a little -- having to switch out a dead battery in a camera is not a fast process, and getting the bracket back on can be especially challenging (holding the gimbal, the cam and the bracket with one hand while trying to thread the screw into the bracket with the other hand -- there's gotta be an easier way)- turning the gimbal on or off takes several seconds of pressing and holding of the power switch; wish the switch was either a slider or simply worked fasterI made a mistake of assuming that the on-off switch doubles as a remote trigger for the camera (since it has a red dot painted on it), without verifying that it actually is one. Would be great if it were -- the manual makes no mention of it. If anyone knows how to get that button on the gimbal to work with e.g. a GoPro Hero 5/6 as a record button, do share!There is also an undocumented mini-USB port on the bracket. Having learned my lesson about assumptions, I'm *not* going to assume that it is for charging the cam from the gimbal while it is in use. If it is in fact for that, someone will have to point me to an adapter that is male mini-USB on one end and usb-C on the other.
