I used to use stabilizers. This one offers support for 2.5-pound cameras, although it's not that heavy on its own. It is made of aluminum, which ensures rigidity and low weight. The instructions that came with your device consist of a fold-out sheet and a separate troubleshooting card. While this was helpful, I ended up using the manufacturer's online video which explains the setup even better. Setup requires balancing the camera on the included fold-out stand and multi-axis adjustment. The setup was a bit difficult for me, there were a few false starts before I was successful. Having successfully done it once, it was easier next time. I shot with both my iPhone and my mirrorless camera. In both cases the stabilizer worked well. I briefly tried the manufacturer's software for my iPhone, which is not required to use the gimbal. It connected to my iPhone quickly and without any glitches. The controls on the gimbal include a thumb-operated pan/tilt joystick and a knob that can be used for multiple functions. The controls were easy to use and the small OLED display is easy to see. The gimbal comes with the aforementioned desktop tripod, charging cable (charged via USB-C) and various coiled cables for connecting cameras to the gimbal. All of this is packed in a foam bag. Locking of all axles to facilitate transport. The stabilizer bar works well - better than what I've used in the past despite being lighter. It's reasonably priced, where it's an improvement over cheap plastic gimbals, and it can also support cameras over 2 pounds. I found both my iPhone and mirrorless camera to work very well. The controls are intuitive and for the most part I was able to figure it out. It has become part of my professional videography toolkit.
