Revainrating 3 out of 5

Somehow works better for smaller cameras? software error.

It says DSLR but Canon R6 is too much for it. I had to use a lighter lens to balance it close to the gantry miss. With the phone up - try to follow me, then it's hard. The software is terrible. * Pairing was terrible. We finally got it working on one phone (S20) but not another (S10) *This stabilizer is not listed exactly. * It requires a specific orientation of the phone. If the phone is "upside down" then it is very confused.* Active "Follow Me" worked a bit but slightly lost its purpose. It was really cool when it worked and I may have continued to use it, but * The software is easily confused and may crash. The stabilizer goes crazy and then I have to relink the app. It's fun without software, like a stabilizer to smooth movements. Once you get the hang of it, it will be pretty easy to move around and make smooth movements. However, the mode control is a bit cumbersome. It's nice to be able to long press to switch to a mode, and again to return to the last mode, but we had a hard time learning how to make it switch to which behavior. There is a note in the instructions. since it is designed for small Sony/Panasonic cameras. I feel like I'm missing something as they appear to be able to connect directly to the camera for some functions. I'll probably replace this one with another electronic stabilizer better suited to our needs.

Pros
  • Newly developed POV (Point of View) mode with up to 45 degrees synchronous roll axis movement.
Cons
  • fades out
