Overall this is a great stabilizer. I've used it to film some of the products I sell. It gets hot, not sure if this is normal for all motorized stabilizers or not. The battery seems to run out quickly. I had fully charged it and used it for about 30 minutes and the battery was already half empty (2 out of 4 bars on the battery indicator). I will charge it fully and use it until it runs out just to see how long I can use it. Generally excellent!
