Small but mighty
Works great with my ZVE10. I screw in my Sony handheld tripod with Bluetooth control to the bottom of the crane for easier control of the camera. Waiting for my dji wireless mic system to be delivered (ordered it 3 mo ago) to see if it blocks any of the crane. The display is a bit touchy and other reviews warn that the power button is easy to bump which turns the crane off. Hasnât happened to me mostly cuz Iâm aware if it. So far love it!

Great gimbal.
I would definitely recommend this great gimbal. It can handle my Sony a6400 with a 16mm sigma lens. Iâve been using it for two weeks and it has now become my go to gimbal. Although more pro jobs require heavier cámaras and lenses this may not work. But I use my a6400 with the sigma lens more anyway so it works great for me. Hope it does for you.

Smaller than it Looks
I watched lots of reviews on this product and as jam packed with features as it is I was very disappointed in how small it is. I paired it with a ZVE-10 and anything much larger than the kit lens seems to be a little too heavy for the gimbal and that was a bit disappointing as I hoped to use it with my Tamron 17-70 and I believe the weight is draining on the battery and its very difficult to balance. However if I used it with smaller lenses or my phone this thing is a beast and has lots and lots of great functions

Lighter than usual and has that professional look
Would recommend to vloggers

Not good for A7IV
Even though reviewers claim that it can be used with A7IV here are some issues I have found:1. Vertical adjustment nob hits camera grip and cannot be adjusted while the camera is mounted;2. Quick release plate has no double protection from unlocking unlike any other gimbal even like on M2;3. Quick release plate has the only locking protection with a lock that is 3mm thick and can break easily causing the camera to fall off the gimbal.4. Gimbal handle is too thick and inconvenient to hold.

Failed calibration, failed restore to default.
What an absolute waste of time and energy. This ghetto gimbal doesn’t work at all. With the camera kit leans, calibration fails. Restore to default fails. Horrible product!!!!!!!!

Amazing Gimbal, love the light.
Over the past 7 years I have owned about 7 or 8 gimbals, many have been great, a couple bad, but none have been perfect, Until now. I canât wait to test this out on the field, but from what I have seen and done this looks to be the best gimbal I have ever owned.I use a Canon M5 and a Canon M50 to record video, mostly using the Canon EF-M 32 mm f/1.4 and the Sigma 16mm f/1.4, the videos are mostly of parties and weddings.Build quality is superb, feels very solid, all the locks and levers move very easily.Setup was a breeze, I love the quick release plate and how easy it is to put on and take off, no need to take it completely off to change batteries , just unscrew a little and you are able to access the battery compartment (I will try to see if they have the tiny release plates for my cameras, which should make it even easier).Balancing the cameras was very easy, found no issues balancing with the larger 16mm lens. Once I turned on the gimbal I walked around my house and took some video, looking at it in my PC the video is very steady. Very easy to do panning shots and many more.One of the main things I love about this gimbal is the light, normally for parties and wedding receptions I have a big light attached to my gimbal rig ( which I need in order to attach a light) with this gimbal I donât see the need for that extra light anymore, it is all contained in the gimbal, in a package way smaller than my last one, also, the light is very bright, perfect for my needs.Canât wait to test it out in the real world, but based on what Iâve seen I Know it will perform better than anything Iâve had before.

An amazing tool for crop sensor cameras
This is a very compact and powerful tool. However, I mainly recommend this to be used with a crop sensor camera set up. Using a full sensor will be limited only to very small and light lenses and even though most mirrorless are fairly lightweight, most good lenses are not light enough for this gimble to handle.Now, the features and tools this gimble offers are really amazing, it is a “pro-sumer” quality product. It will save your head as a backup gimble for full frames and as a b-cam gimble for pro setups.Overall is a really great product, however, it lacks power (for what I need) I don’t blame it, since is built for Youtubers, Vloggers and Consumers that want to step into great stabilized image.

This gimbal is a great addition for the video and photography. The motors can easily handle my Sony a6400. Mode change is easy to perform too. It can only switch video on and off and thatâs it . You cannot switch between video and stills. This is the same with iPhone 12. Also consider Feiu G6 Max.

It is nothing wrong but I had to return as in my opinion It is not suitable for Sony a6600 and sigma 16mm lenses. Balancing gimbal with this lense impossible. Read first if your combo is compatible before buying .
