It is amazing how far gimbal technology has come in the last few years. They are getting smaller, more powerful, and cheaper every few months
This Zhiyun gimbal works great! I was really impressed with how good it is at balancing even a large phone. I have been using it to balance the OnePlus 7 Pro in a case which is a large heavy phone as shown in the pictures, but it balanced easily. You do have to make sure it is gripping the phone at near the center of mass, but that is so much easier than a full DSLR gimbal balancing.
Pros: USB C! This connection is the future and I'm glad to see electronics move away from mini and micro USB connections.
Ability to balance large heavy phones.
App works well and even adds some good features
Little control joystick feel solid and well made. It allows for smooth movements.
Cons: You do have to read the quick start guide, the modes may be a little confusing for a first time user. They are standard gimbal terms, but may be confusing.
I wish it came with a tripod foot attachment on the bottom so it could stand on it's own. It has the screw mount, so you could buy one separate.
Overall really stable footage and I really look forward to using it for stable phone videos in the future!
