Review on FeiyuTech G6 - Splashproof Handheld Grip Gimbal for GoPro Hero 8 7 6 5 4, SJCAM, YI 4K, AEE Sport Action Camera - Official Stabilizer by Steve Guillen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great results, but a lot of work

First of all, the stabilization is amazing. Smooth, fluid movement that feels like you're slipping, especially when paired with GoPro camera stabilization. However, there are some disadvantages that make it difficult to use them, especially in winter sports. The hole for the charging/power LED is not waterproof so one color of my LED burned out after a day on the slopes. Auto Level often fails during more intense activities like skiing, causing the gimbal to rotate the camera in one direction as quickly as possible until you pick it up or turn it off. And cold-weather performance is poor, with the camera taking up to 20 attempts to turn on and self-level in cold weather, with most of the time the camera shutting down a few seconds after turning on. It was the paperweight on my helmet for most of the trip. Don't get me wrong, when it works it's amazing. But I will try a mechanical/hydraulic stabilizer bar in hopes of replacing it.
