Great stabilizer for beginners. It's easy to balance, but just look it up on YouTube for how to do it, there aren't many instructions. However, it didn't work with my payload. If you're using a Canon mirrorless camera with an EF-RF adapter, it probably won't balance well with a zoom lens. I would stick with Prime. The adapter makes all cameras too heavy at the front and there is no room to move the camera further back. Build quality is malleable but doesn't feel flimsy. I was able to balance my camera by attaching some Glidecam weights to the back of the camera, but who wants to do that when it has to be gimbaled? Not very practical and effective, so unfortunately had to be abandoned.
