The product does the job and is really needed to set up an Osmo device. My only major criticism of this product is that it was supposed to be included in the Osmo box and is not sold separately. You really shouldn't just store the Osmo horizontally on a table due to the mechanical nature of the device. It has to be stored upright and that is only possible with this base. Very frustrating. If you look at the product's marketing, you will see that the stand is featured in photos and other marketing materials. So, as said, the base is great, but it should have been in Osmo's original packaging.
