Professional Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphone w/Wireless Charging OLED Display LED Light Focus Wheel, 3-Axis Phone Gimbal Stabilizer for iPhone 15 14 13 12 Pro/Max/Xs Galaxy S23-AOCHUAN Smart X Pro

Updated review on 12/22/22After playing around with the gimbal and its proprietary app for a while and putting it to its first true test on 12/20/22, I’m here to report that it passed with flying colors. While there are a few features that I’d like for the developer to add with future updates, such as better zoom and the ability to use it fully on other camera apps, it got the job done at a concert. Had I just held the phone by itself, my hands would’ve been shaking, but the gimbal not only made it easier to hold, it stopped most, if not all, of the shaking. It seems odd that the battery life would drain, at least from my perspective, rather quickly when not in use, but whatever. Pick it up and play around with it.[Original review below](The following review is based on its initial use; review may be updated if there is something more to add.)The gimbal works…sort of. It has the tendency to do the opposite of what I’m trying to do. It’s as if it’s set to inverted control settings which doesn’t help during those crucial moments. Plus the manufacturer states that it supports the iPhone 13 Pro Max and it does, but I’m guessing because of its weight, the mount causes the phone to drift down. The light on the gimbal runs hot, and I mean DANGEROUSLY HOT! Best to leave it off. I haven’t tested out the overall battery life, I will update my review once I play around with the gimbal a bit more. Unfolding the stabilizer is easy, but when folding it, it makes me nervous because I have no idea whether or not the sheer force needed to fold it will cause the stabilizer to break off the gimbal.As for the app, I wish the gimbal wasn’t so dependent on the app cuz the app itself needs a lot of work. When I first started it, it was in vertical mode when I had the phone horizontally. And the settings are somewhat limited. You can’t use the zoom pushrod on the phone with other camera apps, so you run the risk of knocking the phone off its axis when you have to touch the phone to zoom in or out. If the gimbal itself allowed users to use any apps they desired instead of being dependent on this app, it would be so much better.Overall (so far), this particular gimbal is not too shabby for what I paid for it, but it needs a lot of work. I don’t know if this gimbal is capable of firmware updates, but if it does, I hope the manufacturer will push an update that’ll make it more user friendly with apps outside its proprietary app. Otherwise, you may be better off spending a bit more money on a more user friendly gimbal.

I just started getting into video shooting, editing, and posting to social media. Gimbal wise in the last 6 months I started with the beginners selfie stick, next was the u shaped gimbal, now I think I reached the peak for now with this amazing product !It's perfect for what we shoot whether it's stationary or holding it moving around. I didn't know what to expect but for $100 i expected a lot and they did not disappoint. I sure wasn't expecting a robotic arm with full on controls! I was just looking for something extra stable which is where i came across these 3 axis gimbals.The device had a learning curve that was easy to overcome and once I figured out the device after 45 minutes I was shooting top quality vids. Easy to setup, easy to connect to Bluetooth, extra extra stability, and it's all around great.If you're looking for low end-professional this is your product. Give it a shot if you're curious, you'll love it too

This is my 3rd gimbal for my iPhone, I have a 2 axis "pocket gimbal" and a more advanced 3 axis but was looking for something a bit smaller. The base price of this unit was $100 but there was 30% off coupon at check out so I figured I would give it a try.Bottom line: Well worth $70.The Good:1. The XPro model uses standard replaceable 18650 Li batteries. THIS IS A HUGE DEAL. These batteries are cheap and since technically you are not allowed to check battery items on airplanes, you can remove the batteries (keep with you on your carry on bag) and put the gimbal in your check luggage.2. Build quality is solid.3. The app is simple -- it is just right for what I need (this is not the gimbal if you want all sorts of advanced features) .4. The hand gestures all worked fine (in a limited test environment) start, stop, track etc.5. LCD screen for status (pan modes, battery etc) again simple but effective.6. For a 3 axis gimbal this size and weight seems pretty good (420 grams).7. It has a built in light & wireless charging so if you are on a long shoot and your phone dies provided you have extra 18650 batteries you should be able to work all day (in theory, not tested) without having to wait for charging the phone or the gimbal.The Bad:1. The gimbal will not work with bigger phones, I have an iPhone 15 Pro and it barely fits (like 1-2mm clearance) with the case on. no way will the iPhone Pro Max phone fit (with or without a case).

I'm actually ashamed to admit, I actually purchased this for someone as a starter gimbal. After looking over it's features, curiosity got the best of me and I had to try it out for myself. Once I started playing with it, I honestly couldn't put it down. It was fairly simple to get up and running. It amazed me how light it was while also being very responsive and stable. It was feature packed while also being virtually compact. The battery life is on par for what you'd expect out of most gimbals.of this size, if not better. The light is a huge bonus for sure. This is the first gimbal I've ever seen that had this feature built in. This gimbal proves that you don't need to have a big bulky one or spend a huge amount of money in order to get quality. I now have to buy another one to give as the gift. Hopefully they don't see this review hahaha I definitely recommend.

I was excited to try this and loved the idea of it, but there were a few frustrations. I didn’t love that I had to take my iPhone out of its case to use it, and the instructions didn’t offer much help at all. There were moments when I couldn’t get the phone to stay exactly where I needed it, which got a little annoying.That said, once I spent some time practicing with it, it worked better. Take a few trial runs before depending on it during a trip—it’s not quite plug-and-play, but it can be helpful once you get the hang of it.
