The biggest problem I had with this stabilizer was charging the battery. I used the connector from my Pixel 3, which is a USB-C connector with 3 amp fast charging. Although this gimbal has a USB-C port for charging, it cannot be charged through such a port. I plugged it in and nothing happened and when I used it the bars kept falling off. I've tried plugging it directly into the USB-C port on my MacBook Pro and I'm having the same issue. Finally, I tried plugging the included USB-A to USB-C cable into the USB-A port (1.5 amp) and eventually it charges. I think it just can't handle the higher amperage of fast charge connections. I will also note that the software is not what I would call user friendly and I had to buy a lighter lens for my Sony A6600 to put it under maximum stress (switched from 18-135mm ILCE6600M/B to a 16-50mm SELP1650 ). That being said, the hardware works well enough that I now enjoy using it, having finally figured out all the nuances.
