    why this is better than handhelding? you are still holding it with your hand not like tripod or monopod which touches the ground and free from shakes and vibrates

    ok the youtube review comparison looks good

    • unco on 21/07/2017 - 10:28

      Check out the videos in the post above, a motorised gimbal cancels out your handheld movements.

    • Cheapcuda on 21/07/2017 - 10:29

      You can capture stabilized free-floating videos.

    • mg_k on 21/07/2017 - 10:39

      It removes all the jitters and bumps and "smoothens" your video to give it that pro look.

      • CyberMurning on 21/07/2017 - 10:47

        seems it has motor to compensate the bumps. that is what i wanted to know - how handhelding this can be better than handheld the device directly

    • laser on 21/07/2017 - 11:50

      handhelding?

        you want someone to breakdown the physics of why a 3-axis gimbal is better than just hand holding? Just google and youtube it geez

      • CyberMurning on 21/07/2017 - 15:27

        holding other people hands

  • bm on 21/07/2017 - 10:38

    ARGH! I bought this last week for ~$170 delivered

  • EnergicAU on 21/07/2017 - 10:38

    Thought you needed a plate adapter for GoPro?

    • unco on 21/07/2017 - 10:40

      The GoPro can fit snugly in the gimbal if you switch it to portrait mode.

      If you're worried about it or doing something that's extreme movements then getting the adapter would be better.

  • maxwellian on 21/07/2017 - 10:42

    Damn, I forgot cash rewards but yay got it cheap. Was looking at these around $250 two months ago

    • mg_k on 21/07/2017 - 10:45

      Yes, the price is sooo good that I can't resist anymore.

      Was looking for one in Hong Kong back in April and no stock everywhere….glad I didn't buy back then.

    • HA on 21/07/2017 - 11:06

        I didn't know you could do it that way.

  • toomuchdogfur on 21/07/2017 - 10:44

    Is there any way to use this with a good large sensor compact camera? Say a Canon G7X or Sony RX100?

    Officially it seems like I'd have to go up to a Zhiyun Crane but that's over double the price!

    • snvl on 21/07/2017 - 11:15

      crane m is the way to go for P&S cameras

      • YellowKnight on 21/07/2017 - 11:41

        Still almost double in price

    • Boward Woward on 21/07/2017 - 12:13

      I was looking into gimbals yesterday, and the pilotfly c45 looks like the way to go for compacts, as it's made for the rx100. It's smaller and lighter than the crane m, and doesn't obstruct the lcd. Though, it's 3x the cost of this. Also, warranty for their taiwan store seems non-existant, hence i'm hesitating purchasing it.

  • wippy on 21/07/2017 - 10:47

    i bought it when the price dropped but without the extra 10% eBay discount… at this price i want to buy another one even though the 1 I have is enough lol

  • turkz1 on 21/07/2017 - 10:52

    Anyone have any experience with the Zhiyun Smooth 3 vs this?

    • unco on 21/07/2017 - 11:05

      When I was doing my research (watching youtube vids) I came across this guy who reviewed the Smooth 3 right after he just reviewed the Smooth Q.
      The stabilisation is much the same, but the Smooth 3 is made of more sturdy materials.

      Smooth Q: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVdYaNP4uhg
      Smooth 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeJPsjDyuwI

    • snvl on 21/07/2017 - 11:17

      smooth 3 allow more weight, if you use clip on lens/filters. you can use spare batteries.

      • kudoz on 21/07/2017 - 11:51

        Very tempted by the Smooth 3 but it's almost double the price and only major differences seem to be materials and replaceable battery (Comes down to $278 or so with the code though).

        • snvl on 21/07/2017 - 11:54

          only worth it if you are going to use the extra weight. battery last 12 hours, i doubt you are going to need a spare battery.

  • AitC on 21/07/2017 - 11:08

    Thanks got one, cheaper than buying used.

  • Deviner on 21/07/2017 - 11:25

    • unco on 21/07/2017 - 12:01

      Try here

      Take note of what they say about part of the arm being visible in certain angles with the DJI Osmo mobile. Not sure if the same issue happens with the Smooth Q.
      You can see that issue in this video. https://youtu.be/_x9OsDh-U-E?t=5m43s
      Apparently you can avoid it by shooting horizontally (not sure exactly) but there's videos on youtube which show it working fine so I guess they held it a different way.

    • ddxsamx on 21/07/2017 - 13:50

    Anyone know if it works with sony action cam?

    • mattelinc on 21/07/2017 - 12:06

      Hi there,

      Not for Sony Action Cam. I spoke to the supplier and not even an attachment can bear the weight.

      I think a previous Zhiyun can. Smooth C?

      • snvl on 21/07/2017 - 12:10
        +1

        it should work fine. the x3000 with adapter is only 170gr, that is less than 7+ weight

        • adi on 21/07/2017 - 12:12

          Great, and where can I get the adapter… does it come with one? thanks

        • snvl on 21/07/2017 - 12:23

          @adi:

          it doesnt come with one.

          I bought from this guy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnBXUk5gLkY. Expensive but I couldn't find anything else. the adapter could be better but i would rate it 8/10.

      • Thrift on 21/07/2017 - 12:22

        Can't be the weight itself.

        Device Weight
        Galaxy S7 152 g
        iPhone S7 138 g
        Sony FDR-X1000V 113 g
        Sony HDR-AS100V 92 g

        Plus there's YouTube vids of it working with an attachment, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ig0XV_enJw

        • snvl on 21/07/2017 - 12:26

      There is a video to show how this work without Adapter. The one showed in the video is the entry level of their action cam though, so not sure how heavy yours is.

  • pepsicles on 21/07/2017 - 12:09

  • adrianhughes1998 on 21/07/2017 - 12:14

    I have one of these and have to send it back cos battery failed. There have been other reports on Zhiyun Facebook page and some YouTube videos as well of the motors failing etc.

    Not trying to neg, but just be aware that some may have issues.

    That being said, be aware that the device you are using to film video needs stabilisation of some kind, so electronic is ok but at the very least required. I have tried on phones that don't have it and the footage is still somewhat shaky.

  • YellowKnight on 21/07/2017 - 12:23

  • birdie on 21/07/2017 - 13:02

    I had been considering a Feiyu Tech G5 for my GoPro Hero 5 Black… glad I saw this as it should be better being universal (so I can use my GS7 Edge as well - and any other future phones - as long as they don't get too wide) and a lot cheaper too, less than half the price!

  • hen dawg on 21/07/2017 - 20:17

    I didn't know I wanted one. Now I want one!
    Would it work for other action cams with adaptors? Thinking if I also get a non-GoPro cam how it would attach?

    • Thrift on 22/07/2017 - 00:04
      +1

      Getting an adaptor is the trickiest part, but not hard if you're handy. The goal is to balance the camera on all three axis.
      Here's a good video that runs through balancing with a custom mount (demonstrates with a Lumix LX7): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8LwXlU3p5g

    Specs say can take up to 220grams, iP7plus is 188grams.

    • unco on 31/07/2017 - 10:49

      Did you adjust the gimbal to balance the phone as best you could while it was off first?

      • aibargain on 31/07/2017 - 11:56

        Phone sticks way out - I can't seem to balance well passively.

        Will have another go at getting balancing better, and also make sure gimbal is charged fully.

        Thanks for tip.

      • aibargain on 03/08/2017 - 12:39

        I moved the slider knob all the way out and fully charged the gimbal.
        Thanks a lot - this slider knob worked well and getting it balanced while off.
