Review on Neewer 1-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer with Wireless Remote for iPhone 12/11 📸 Pro Max/X/XR, Galaxy S20+/S20, Huawei P40 Pro - Auto Balance, Anti-shake, Pan-tilt Tripod included by Cristofer Cejudo

After using the Neewer gimbal and comparing it to other similar single axis gimbals, I found that the new gimbal was lacking in several areas. It does an excellent job of stabilizing on one axis, but doesn't perform a full 360 degree rotation, which is necessary for my use. Read on and watch the video where I compare the newer stabilizer to another seller's product. Pros: GOOD STABILIZATION: The Neewer stabilizes well and reacts quickly to changes, but turns 90 degrees under certain conditions. More on that below. Throughout my gimbal training, the device did not experience any shaking or trembling as the motor could not handle the weight or balance of the camera. I mentioned jitter because similar products sometimes shake or wobble. EASY ORIENTATION CHANGE: When we first turned on the gimbal, it might not assume the correct horizontal orientation, and simply pressing the button causes jitter. Stabilizer for 90 degree rotation. Simply hold the button down until it is in the desired orientation. -- COMFORTABLE TO HOLD: The handle, made up of tripod legs pressed together, is a good size and very comfortable in my large, glove-sized hands. Vertical lines engraved on the three petals ensure a secure hold.-- A GOOD TRIPOD. The tripod legs are extended about 20 cm and offer a reasonably stable stand even on uneven ground, as long as they are not extended too far. Rotation, the gimbal has a built in detent that will cause the gimbal to rotate 90 degrees when it reaches the detent. So you can imagine the troubles and annoyances of recording videos when your camera is suddenly rotated 90 degrees. The attached video demonstrates this and compares it to a similar Upmostek product that does not rotate 90 degrees. The Upmosteck doesn't have a latch that causes problems with the Neewer - EXTENSION IS NOT GREAT: The extension is made out of aluminum rods and even when fully extended it was strong but was 10 inches shorter than other similar products. . See the attached image comparing Neewer to a similar but better Upmostek product. -- NO SPIN LOCK: The Neewer gimbal cannot be locked. Say your batteries are dead and you want to use it as a simple selfie stick. The gimbal rotates freely as there is no obstruction preventing rotation. Upmostek has such a lock. - SHORT HANDLES: The handles are very short and can only hold a thin phone. A phone with a case attached may not hold securely if it's too thick for thin grips. See attached picture. Bottom line: I've used other 1-axis gimbals of the same price as Neewer that maintain a full 360 degree horizontal orientation rather than rotating 90 degrees like Neewer. So it won't suit my needs, but for those who just need 1-axis stabilization with no 180 degree rotation, it will be fine. Just make sure the phone when used with a case is not too thick for a secure Neewer gimbal grip.
