Review on πŸ“Ή Red Steadicam Curve-BK Video Stabilizer Handheld Grip for GoPro Hero Cameras 3, 4 Black & Hero 5 by Darion Wooten

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Instead I'm using a 3-axis gimbal

Of course I didn't spend much time getting this to work with my Hero 5. I saw that an additional weight accessory was needed that would cover the rear screen, but thought I'd give it a try without. I couldn't balance it properly, it wobbled back and forth slightly which resulted in more shake than just holding the Hero 5 with image stabilization active. I ended up sending it back and getting a gimbal instead. I've done a lot of research on gimbals and don't think any of them currently fit the Hero 5 as it weighs significantly more than the Hero 4. The motors are constantly running trying to keep up the heavier Hero 5 level

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
