This gimble is great for those new to the blog. It is easy to use and set up in 4 steps. First unlock the 2 heads holding the phone. Secondly, press the power button and your phone will be balanced automatically. Then use the controls to move it to the goal. After that, you just go there and write down the goal. Simply that way. I don't need to be connected to the app to use it, but if you are, you have more options to play. For me I just need to take a quick shot so it's super fast convenient.
