I love the damn thing. Now that I'm doing TV interviews from home instead of in the studio due to COVID, it's really saved my life. I put it in a roll of paper towels in a holder so it looks like a tripod. It's also great for live streaming while walking, which is why I bought it. I do video tours of our local shelter and they have always been shaky no matter how hard I tried to keep them. Our videos are now smooth as silk! It was easy to use for a complete amateur like me!
