It's great: camera and photo

I have a Hero 8. I don't remember if they had options in the 8 series but if they did I have a top. I always buy the best I can so I don't regret it later. The only thing I really wanted was automatic horizon leveling. It can be done with 8, but it requires post video processing. Forget it. This stabilizer solves this problem for GoPro 8 models and below. As you probably know, Model 9 was the first model where the problem was solved without rework. This stabilizer looks deceptively complex at first glance, but it's actually easy to understand and use. The manual looks thick, but that's only because it's written in different languages. Although it has many knobs and switches, they can be sorted out without reading the instruction manual. But I highly recommend you to read the quick guide so that you do everything as you should. One thing the manual doesn't explain is how to use the trigger switch. This switch is for sport mode. But that is not explained. I guessed correctly that this causes the gimbal to follow fast-moving objects (if you rotate the camera, it rotates faster). The beauty of putting your camera on a gimbal is that you don't have to balance it like you would with a large camera gimbal. This is because small cameras like the GoPro are so light that the motors can easily move them in combat without much inertia. The only thing that annoys me about setting up my GoPro 8 is the difficulty. In other words, it takes a bit of fiddling to get it right. They had to come up with an easier way to mount the camera. That would be my only complaint. It is important to me that the stabilizer is splash-proof. After all, GoPros are made to get wet. I will be using this when kayaking and wet rides at amusement parks.

Pros
