Amazing stabilizer in pro video accessories

This amazing stabilizer! I needed a more compact gimbal that could support a larger camera and lens (Fujifilm X-H1 and 16-55mm lens). I upgraded from tap plus and this one is more intuitive. There is a USB-C port on the side for connecting the camera. There is a large list of cameras that are supported. Sorry, Fujifilm X-H1 is not supported. Unfortunately, this does not detract from this great gimbal. Functions and features are easy to see on the LCD display. Switching between pan, viewpoint, selfie and swirl is very easy. There is a trigger to fix the position. Speaking of locks, locks are provided for each axle to make balancing easier. One of the things I appreciate about this gimbal is the ability to remove the tripod mount and then lock it into the back of the gimbal for the suitcase position. I cannot stress enough how easy this gimbal is to use. I like it. So far I have listed all positive points. Some features of the stabilizer should be noted. Some lenses that are much larger and longer may come loose when trying to reposition. In my case, this happened with my 100-400mm lens. This does not detract from the stabilizer, because that is due to the enormous size and weight of the lens. Another quirk might be some sort of sleeve that can be placed in the control area to keep the gimbal from snapping if hit while driving. Removing the batteries is an alternative solution. Overall, this is a wonderful lightweight gimbal that can carry cameras of various sizes and weights.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Little things
