Review on Aluminum Alloy Hand Grip Stabilizer Gimbal for DSLR Camera, Action Camera, Video Film Movie Making Kit - Compatible with GoPro Hero 8/7/6, Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Olympus by Russell Mahendra

Revainrating 3 out of 5

1 " single-threaded, freely rotating ball mount

Perfectly sized frame for the Go Pro, comfortable grips and a solid aluminum frame. Problems: The Go Pro mount and two ball mounts all rely on a single threaded connection, which dangles everything when she tries to unscrew them. Luckily I tested them before diving. For the GoPro mount, I replaced the single threaded mount with a flat mount using an adhesive pad and epoxy around the edges of the adhesive pad, just in case, and finally attached the entire mount securely to the frame. I've noticed that the best devices use a plate and two screws to attach the flares. My solution is to coat the threads with epoxy and make them permanent. Also, it arrived with one of the 1 inch ball mount o-rings split and lying on the bottom of the box. Before writing this review, I kindly contacted the factory but received no reply. Luckily, you can buy more o-rings online (sigh). The illustration does not show any buoyancy devices (to be determined).

Pros
  • There's a twist
Cons
  • Minor issues
