The Official ROXANT PRO Camera Stabilizer: GoPro, Smartphone, Canon, Nikon - Up to 2.1 lbs. (Includes Phone Clamp) Review

I'm glad I bought it and will definitely buy it again; it occupies an important niche in my set. But here are some things to consider. Out of the box - Overall the design looks good except for two things. The rotational inertia is too low and the gimbal friction is too high. It is possible that on some cameras the combinations of mass, mass distribution and center of gravity are such that everything is fine, but I had some difficulties. I suspect most of you do too. HACKED - If you buy this, be

I ordered this gimbal with a Sofoto PRO camcorder gimbal to compare them. When I ordered, Roxant was around $64 and this one was $29 (2.2x the difference). When I received them, they looked almost the same from the outside (see photo). As for the product itself, it seemed a bit better in build compared to Sofoto, I tried the stabilizer while watching youtube videos and both were very easy to set up (I'm new and this is my first stabilizer) . I tried walking around the house, going up and down…

Okay I don't write many reviews and when I do it has a lot to do with the true value of the product. I'm an amateur at best and enjoy playing with my DSLR and GoPro. I can't stand the thought of spending six hundred dollars on a video stabilizer just for gaming. If you are looking for this product to create professional high quality videos, go ahead. For a layman, this is a must. The problem with this product is related to the setting. If you take the time to set up the product, it will work…

There are many videos to understand how to set up this device, but as a mechanical engineer I found an important step that is likely to be overlooked by many people. I could make a car on youtube showing the details, here's what you need to do. After checking out the available camera and grip assembly videos, the weights are key. It turns out this is the easiest way to do it. I definitely want to have regular steel discs in addition to the weights that come with it, as this step will get you…

I'm in love with fiery red, this is my favorite part! It's super smooth and comfortable with the movement I need to capture smooth video footage. It's very durable, I've used it twice already and never had to worry about my EOS T7 Canon camera falling. Perfect size, I find it a lot easier, love that it feels like an extension of my hand and not like a tiny pen that I would worry about falling off. The weight doesn't bother me, I had a little trouble balancing my gear at first, but I've watched…

I am very satisfied with this device and glad that I decided to buy it. It is compact, light and very efficient. Those were my needs and my needs were met. The price is great for what you get and the Roxant team does everything they can to keep their customers happy. Revain made several mistakes when ordering and sent me the wrong/incomplete components. Since Revane is hired to do assignments, I can't call Roxant for that. Ah, things happen. I was amazed; When I realized that my order was…

I'm using a Canon XA10 compact HD camcorder. I wanted a gimbal/stabilizer for it, but the one Canon made for it costs $165. I'm just an amateur videographer for beginners so I can't justify the price. This is a great alternative. The Canon XA10 weighs 1lb 6oz without the optional grip and 1lb 12oz with it. Thus, each of the configurations corresponds to the weight limit of this stabilizer bar. I have never used such equipment before so the video tutorials on understanding how to balance the…

Overall I'm happy with this purchase, but to get the most out of this product you need to pay close attention to three important points: 1.) Lubricant - out of the box, ball joint dry on gimbal. This means there's a lot of squeaking and snagging as you move, resulting in shaky and incoherent video. A drop of 3-in-1 oil helped me by making the suspension smooth and quiet. Before the hinge was lubricated, this assembly was virtually useless, so don't skip this part. 2.) Balancing - This can be…
