Smartphone Gimbal 3-Axis Stabilizer for iPhone & Android

 

This is a good functioning 3 axis Gimbal that works well, but is not perfect. Inside the box you get the Gimbal, USB C charge cables, a smal tripod/stand, plus 2 magnetic mood/accent lights and instructions. To get the best use from the Gimbal there is a photography App to install (AOChuan on the store) that offers a variety of effects and options that you may ot get in the standard phone app on your phone (Hitchcock zoom for example).

In use this works well. the wheel on the side allows you to focus and zoom with more precision, and combined with the thumb controller you have full control of your shots. The thumb controller allows you to move the Gimbal up and down, left and right for tracking and panning. The beauty of a Gimal is the steadiness it gives you when taking video shots as it will eliminate a lot of camera shake and bounce that you would pick up using the camera on its own, and it does this well.

My issue though is that a larger screened phone is difficult to fit in the Gimbal. i have a larger screened phone, and I found that the bottom hit the arm of the Gimbal at times. Combine that with the Gimbal pressing the power button, meant i had to slide the phone out of the Gimbal more so it was harder to balance. The other issue I found and this may be my lack of use on the Gimbal is that usually you can lock the panning but that seems to be mising in this. If i find out how to do that i will come back and update the review.

i will add though that other than the issue i have outlined I still think this is a great Gimbal, and sits squarely in the budget/midrange market so for that price I thik it is a worthwhile purchase.
