Once your camera is properly balanced, this "stabilization camera" will work as needed, but the user will need to adjust it each time, especially if you shoot and reposition your camera frequently like I did. . The top is not centered, which will confuse you when balancing, but take your time to get it right. The weight is good but I wish there were more variations as even the lightest options on offer were either too heavy or too light. If you are using a Canon or Nikon this is easy for you, but the weight of the lens also matters. I use the a6000 with a 50mm f1.8 lens and it's light enough to even out those marks. Again, take the time to find balance and it will work well for you. Promise.
