Review on YELANGU Carbon Handheld Stabilizer Cameras by Paul Williams

This is a great product if you intend to use it very often or for a long period of time. I personally have to go from being a 5 minute videographer to a 3 minute photographer and so on. The stabilizer depends on whether you leave the camera in a state so that it maintains its balance. For every change you make, you need to re-stabilize Yelangu, and that's not as easy as other stabilizers. Take OSMO Mobile 2 as an example. It takes less than 30 seconds to stabilize every time. Now I know it's not a fair comparison, one is handheld and for DSLRs and the other electronic and for mobile (that's why I gave it 4 stars anyway), but that's exactly my take on it if you're not most into handheld shooting time, you might be better off with OSMO and a few handheld shots by just grabbing the entire tripod as a makeshift stabilizer. I mainly shoot documentaries and have to switch from steady shooting to handheld shooting too often. Resetting the elangu for 10 minutes every time I change something on the camera (adjust lenses, add a microphone, etc.) just drove me nuts. I'd rather spend those 10 minutes improvising with a hand tripod. In the end I returned it. Now if you have 2 DSLRs, maybe you can just keep one for Yelangu and the other for the rest.
