This is probably the lightest stabilizer I have ever used. It was originally set up for a GoPro 7, but I was able to set it up for a GoPro 8 using the accessories that came with it. It's also the first GoPro stabilizer to include a carrying case with a small tripod base. Currently there is no GoPro Hero 8 option in the app, so I can't fully test it. It still works without using the app and allows you to start using it right away.
