After recently buying a Smooth 4, and having it turn out to be bust, I thought maybe I'd have better luck with the newer Q2--that perhaps the older, less expensive just model wasn't getting the same level of quality control and care because maybe the company wanted to prioritize the newest thing. Boy, was I wrong.The Q2 I received is either just as poorly manufactured as the Smooth 4 I received last week, or is "correctly" manufactured to the company's tragically low standards. The battery is a dud. After fully charging it, it promptly trained within 30 minutes of test usage. Additionally, the gimbal is incapable of supporting the weight it claims to support. I was testing it with a Galaxy S7, no case. The phone, by itself, was supported fine. But when I attached by external mic, the gimbal immediately flopped to the side. The phone only weights about 150 grams, and the mic plus windscreen comes in at a touch above 50 grams. I weighed it all together, and the total was only 211 grams. So, a mere 80% of the theoretical weight capacity overwhelms this gimbal in practice. Even though this gimbal is supposed to have a higher weight capacity than the Smooth 4, I did not experience this problem with that model.With the phone by itself, the gimbal did seem to hold correctly oriented positions, which is more than I was able to say about the Smooth 4. And it seems to generally do a good job adjusting for your movements, i.e. when moving my arm in various directions the gimbal generally moved, or didn't move, as was expected and desired. There's a trade off between the minimalism and functionality. Having to use one button to iterate through five different shooting mode is less than ideal. And the small size results in a very small angle in which you can swing the handle to the right without the phone tilting over. These amount to a question of personal taste; I could get used to those particular quirks if the gimbal otherwise performed as expected.If it simply lived up to is claims, it could be a great instrument. But sadly, this gimbal does not perform as expected.And seeing as this is the second item in a row from the company, two different models, I received that both turned out to be glorified paperweights, I cannot recommend anything from this manufacturer, and I cannot see myself trying something from them in the future.
