Good starter Gimbal. Hope to see more in the future
Bottom up front (update) : it's a good starter gimbal for GoPro. Meets price and performance expectation. The seller also followed through despite the initial hiccup and can now say that they are very responsive to customer concerns.Update 2/8/2019:OK, the seller definitely made it up for me by following through. The rep made sure that he communicated with me throughout the replacement process and it only took 2 days including the delivery. Despite the delay in the initial response, I'm now more inclined to come back for more in the future.In today's tech market competition, price area is a big factor. This product met my price and performance expectations. I just hope the manufacturer can capitalize on its entry gimbal which I would say is a success.As for the seller, USKEYVISION, I now have a more respect for them as they showed me that they're a company that cares about customer satisfaction. My rating went from 3 to 5. The increase in 2 stars was due to the seller's timeliness and the way they went about it to resolve the issue once identified.Update 2/7/2019:I sent the customer service an email in December 2018, a few days after I received the item, due to a crack that formed (see feedback below).Today, I received an email reply back with an apology for the delay in response as well as an offer to correct the deficiencies. Being that my request was over the holidays, I'll give the seller the benefit of doubt that my email got lost among many others. While I contemplated on waiting to update feedback until the seller followed-through, I also wanted to be fair and responsive to other buyers' considerations. So today, I'm raising the rating by a star for the followup.Original post in Dec 2018:Again, this is just a basic gimbal, so there's none of the auto target tracking or facial recognition, etc. It's meant for GoPros that may not necessarily have those features.Likes:-low cost to start learning-long battery life (got at least 12hrs on and off usage and still had some left)-ability to charge GoPro while in use (not sure who needs continuous 3+ hrs of recording..)-different gimbal modes for different situation s-easy to use-has an app to adjust the motor settingsThings I wish could be better:-connecting with app was a little confusing. It had issues finding the gimbal for the first few times. Maybe it's the phone... Not sure. It works now.-GoPro mounting could be better. I'm using GoPro4 and it takes a few tries to find the balance point. And when you tighten the mounting screws, the GoPro actually gets a bit slanted you can't really tell on the video, but...im just saying the mounting could be better.-the power button looks like a 'record' button, so maybe change it with a power symbol. I think I saw someone complaining that you can't control the GoPro with the phone app. Not sure if that's fair since this is a basic gimbal. In any case use the GoPro app to control the camera settings...-mine had a stress fracture by a screw on the body after the 2nd day (see picture). Not sure what caused it...maybe because I used it out in the cold? Anyways, tried to contact customer service directly through email, but no response...the stress fracture's going to eventually break with usage. And without acknowledgement from the company/seller, I'm left with a failing product.Tips:-find the GoPro balance first! It'll put less stress on the motors-don't try to figure out the phone app on the first day if you're a beginner. Just learn how the gimbal controls affect your videography skills.-if you're adjusting the motor settings, adjust one axis at a time if you're a beginner at gimbals-probably want to know what yaw, pitch and roll means to get the best out of using a gimbal. The quick settings on the handle affects themOverall, I like it and my videos don't have the shake. Now I can capture my kids without excessive shaking. Everyone should know that the gimbal doesn't eliminate the vertical or horizontal movements, so don't expect to capture a perfectly smooth footage while running and holding the gimbal in hand.

Good buy for starting creators who want stable shots
This product I definitely give major credit to. Well worth the money spent. Good stabilization, good batter life, great features. Seeing how much stabilizers cost out there this is a good start out investment for your small cameras to get good stability. My little gripe would be sometimes I could hear the motor a little in the background but I believe that may be due to how hot it was that day I was using it. All my equipment was being weird that day so I don't knock it for that. Any other time of use it's been fine.

Great Gimbal!
I've never used a gimbal before and really wanted one for my new GoPro. I love the case it came in and the materials seem much higher quality than I thought it would be. The instructions could have been a little more detailed on how to set it up for the first time, but we figure it out. So far, I am impressed with how handy it is and how stable the images are when using it. I can't wait to play around with it some more as we travel! Such a great gimbal.

Bang for the buck gimbal!
This gimbal is overall great. It's an all-in-one solution and easy to use with it's quick access function buttons. I'm a filmmaker and I mainly use two handed gimbals that require focus and attention to camera movement. I used this for behind-the-scenes, personal videos doing exercising, recording my dogs, and other everyday things. I don't use it for creating professional videos, but it does have that potential to be used for YouTube videos like vlog or a great behind-the-scenes paired with the right action cam or camera phone.The most critical thing I would have to say about this gimbal is the set up and battery life. The two screws do take some time to screw in, when setting up. You can loosen the screws all the way, but it still takes some work to slide the GoPro camera in. In a run-and-gun shooting envrionment, it's not as feasible or I would not considered a quick release set up.I was able to mount it in two ways, one that allowed me to charge from the gimbal to the GoPro and the other way, it allowed me to access the mode button on the other side.Which sorta was inconvenient, because I could not access both at the same time.If you block the mode button, expect to use the touch screen or mobile app often.If you block the charger or usb-c port, expect to change battery.It depends how you shoot and what's important to you for your project or video capture. For me, I am more inclined to capture the moment and do not like being constrained to setting up, breaking down, or changing too many moving parts, so that I can focus on the moment.I chose to have the gimbal charge the camera most of the time, because taking the camera out takes more time compared to supply power to the GoPro and letting the GoPro and Gimbal run out of power altogether.The battery on the gimbal lasted about a solid hour and a half, I kept it on frequently. You could get more juice, when powering down, when not in use.The good things about this was that once you set it up, it works very well. Instant on and balanced. It's a high tech solution that is worth the effort to set up, results, and drawbacks. For older GoPro cameras without in-body stabilization, it's great.The two function buttons store the movement modes, so you can easily switch between them.Overall, it's a bang for the buck gimbal solution for older GoPro and camera phones. I would recommend it to a friend who vlogs, does BTS videos, or personal films and creative experiment work.Tip: You could probably attach a power bank in a shape of a pen/cylinder and attach it to this gimbal to increase battery life for both.
