If you're new to the gimbal camcorder, the initial setup can be tricky. Before using the gimbal, you must balance the camera so that it can be easily erected. Then it's so easy to shoot professional video clips! I like it. It is very compact and has just as many features. I tried it, my mirrorless camera works like a charm (see video). I'll try my phone (I'm sure it will work) and a large DSLR. If you are looking for a complete stabilizer kit, this is it. It's almost smaller than other big camera gimbals and offers all the features you could need at a very affordable price and size.
