Review on πŸ“· QIMIC Gimbal Stabilizer: Smartphone Selfie Stick Tripod with Remote, Auto Inception for Vlogging, YouTube Compatible with iPhone and Android by Matt Morrison

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not rotate 360 ​​degrees, the remote control falls off and breaks easily

Qimic stabilizer is poorly designed with overdone stabilization performance. This stabilizer should be avoided. Bad: -- No 360 degree rotation: I got it because they claimed 360 degree rotation. I need stabilization through and through the entire arch from top to bottom. This Qimic unit only rotates about 270 degrees. Its permanent blocking prevents full rotation. Watch the attached video for a demonstration. -- The remote control falls off too easily and breaks. A simple touch of the remote control releases her and she falls to the ground, shattering into pieces. Watch the attached video for a demonstration. Even a slight shake or accidental finger touch will cause it to fall out. This is a guarantee that it will not be lost or damaged. - Slippery grip: The grip is smooth and very slippery. It will be difficult to keep it safe. There is no texture or rubber on the handle to ensure a secure grip. Watch the attached video for a demonstration. -- No Bracket Lock: The bracket that flips back and forth has no lock. Only friction keeps it in place. Over time and with a good can, the mount will tilt forward or backward slightly. A simple locking mechanism would be a big improvement. - Without gimbal lock: The rotation stabilizer also has no lock. When the battery runs out, the stabilizer rotates freely. It's not possible to lock the camera to use a stick if you only want to hold it at a 90 degree angle, for example. -- No fast charging. When charging, there is no fast charging option. -- The clip can press the buttons of the phone: Depending on the phone, the clip, when attached, can press the buttons of the buttons, which are located on the edge of the phone. -- Expensive: There are other 1-axis stabilizers for up to 1/2 the cost. This $40 device that offers some of the above features that this one lacks. The Good: - Good battery size: They claim to have a 900mAh battery, which is more than double what I've seen on other 1-axis gimbals. -- Good 1-axis stabilization: The stabilizer works well and feels very strong when I press it. - Wide Tripod: The built-in tripod base is wide enough to provide good stability when not fully extended.

Pros
  • Intelligent anti-shake algorithm
Cons
  • Power socket required
