I use this on my iPhone 8 when I'm recording videos. It keeps the phone level with the horizon and also has zoom and other on-device controls. The only complaint is that it doesn't stabilize up and down movements when walking while filming. Correction. I wrote this review for OSMO Mobile 3 by mistake, then I realized it was about counterbalances. I still love them and when you add extra lenses to your iPhone and use the Mobile 3 they help balance the gimbal.
