Review on Wondalu Video Camera Stabilizer Smartphone by Ashley Lynn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

For those who can't balance it

I got this gimbal the other day and like many people I've had trouble maintaining smooth video while walking. I have a tiny action camera that weighs only 2.6 ounces. I struggled most of the day balancing it to largely eliminate the shaking when walking. Then I saw a special video with very detailed instructions on how to properly balance the stabilizers. In that video the guy said that the biggest mistake people make is putting too much weight on the underside of the stabilizer because it creates a pendulum effect, which is what I've experienced. After some more experimentation, I found that this gimbal works best with my camera with no weights attached to the bottom! After removing ALL the floor weights and setting the correct arm height almost all of the judder was eliminated and I now have nice smooth videos even when walking on uneven ground. So if you're having trouble, try reducing the weight on the bottom. If necessary, remove the weights or replace them with something smaller, e.g. B. some large washers.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Pretty much everything is fine
