Nice gimbal, I've been using it for 3 weeks now and it "does its job", stabilizing the image, smoothes a lot of things, but you still have to go ninja to it sometimes to get rid of the vertical concussion. Now I've done some pretty nice edits and I'm happy with that, but the axis on the gimbal isn't very long so this gimbal will stick to you. I'm not sure if this is user error, but this stabilizer is quite small, so it's a great stabilizer for beginners, great for mid-size DSLRs or mirrorless cameras. I have an A6000 and it's holding up well. Battery life is surprisingly good for a small setup, I would say around 5-6 hours or more of battery life. I shot 3-4 hours with the device on and off, and the battery only lasted 2 bars. If your camera is heavier, expect the battery to not last as long. Overall this is a great stabilizer for the price.
