This is good for extra stability and less need for post processing (video software) stabilization. My observations: 1. The gimble shakes backwards at the extreme angle, but for video purposes this is normal as the gimbal handle is in the frame at this angle, which is useless. 2 The battery cover on the bottom should have some kind of tab or lever to release it. I almost had to use pliers to get it off. Just don't overtighten. The problem is, if you're using an extension cord, you don't want the bottom of the gimbal (battery cover) hanging around.
