The best stabilizer!

If you're looking for a stabilizer that won't break the bank, this is the one for you. I've tried other gimbals in the same line and they just don't compare. It's as detailed as I can imagine so hopefully it will be helpful to those who are on the fence. Pros: * Locking levers - make a world of difference when it comes to transportation. Many stabilizers don't snap, and if you don't know how to find them, you don't know what you're missing out on. * App support - I've found that the app actually takes better videos than my phone's camera app. In addition, the controls and options make it one of the best. I played around a lot with pan speed and motor power. * Disk Management - I underestimated how useful this is. Some gimbals have a standard joystick but a dial on the side that can be used if you want to slowly pan or rotate (in many cases the joystick performs faster, jerky movements). I use this almost every time. Board. Once you get used to them they're really good and have all the options on the gimbal itself. It's not one of those stabilizers that you can just open and use, there's a bit to learn here. However, this is minimal and to be expected with exposure at this level. * Balancing is quick and easy as the power of the motor actually automatically adjusts to the weight of what's on the gimbal, it balances very quickly with minimal adjustment. Video and picture** I wish I could post more than 1 video but Amazon only allows 1. But I used this all day on the water (good splash protection). Even I was amazed at how stable the video was, seeing the dock move decently under my feet. The picture honestly looks better than the app for my phone, so thanks to the manufacturer for that. I found that I even used their app for regular pictures, not just gimbal. Cons: * Stamp pictures - I know it's her app but she doesn't have a mfgr stamp on every picture, there might be a way to turn this off, I just haven't found it yet. * Battery life. Claimed 8 hours and I found it closer to 5 when heavily used on the water. Not the end of the world, just worth mentioning. But at the same time, all my gimbals are falling below their designed battery life. I carry a wireless charger with me, so it's a quick boost to keep going.
