After I put it to the test, I was blown away by the stability and smoothness this stabilizer brought to my video footage .With its solid aluminum construction, my shots were rock steady and practically shake-free. The stabilizer also features a comfortable grip and easy adjustments, making it a pleasure to use. My only gripe is that it can be a bit heavy after extended use so be prepared for some arm fatigue. OVERALL, a great addition to my video gear!
