This Gimbal is by far the best one I have ever used.1- It is incredibly smooth. The footage taken with it have just about no shaking at all. The only movement in the camera is the movement that you introduce, with pans/tilts or tracking/dolly type movements. It completely stabilizes the footage and makes it look incredibly2- It is VERY VERY powerful. I use it with the Samsung s8+, which is already pretty heavy, and I throw on a moment 58mm lens, case, and a Ride videomic mini in the audio port; the gimbal manages to hold it all absolutely steady and doesn't struggle under the weight of any of it.3- It is incredibly customizable. The default settings are fine, and I ended up using them, but you can adjust the sensitivity, smoothness, speed and acceleration of the control stick via the the computer software, which is very easy to use, and the app that's free in the appstore.4- The 5 modes are very versatile and altogether, they encompass pretty much anything you would need to do with a gimbal or stabilizer.5- The battery life is INCREDIBLY long; I used it almost all day to test out the features and it was only showing me halfway on the battery monitor
