This is my first one and I feel like I got a good product for my money. I'm still learning all the features but it's easy to use and easy to find videos to help me out with learning how to use it

The product is awesome! Works just as described, excellent value for the price point.

Kimball has worked great for me. Mostly use it for work and have been happy with this purchase.

The media could not be loaded. Takes a second to learn how to use it properly (as with any gimbal), but the video comes out super stable. Also works fantastically as a tripod for taking amazing and balanced pictures or videos of yourself. I used it all vacation to take pictures and videos of myself and my partner, and works especially well when you can control your phone remotely with a smart Watch. Note, the charging may not operate with a phone case on.It folds to be compact in size, and the battery life is very good. The metal/plastic construction makes it durable. It’s a little heavy, but in a good way. I didn’t mind stashing it in my waist bag and still had plenty of space.

UPDATE #1: After this review was posted, the seller contacted me and offered what I felt was more than fair compensation. I turned it down since I was able to cobble together a crude replacement which, while not ideal, does the job of the original knob.UPDATE #2: I exchanged emails with the seller discussing the challenges of stocking replacement parts for a seller in China and I certainly can understand that. The seller also insisted on sending a replacement unit at no charge, and I accepted the offer. I will say that it is clear that the seller wants to do everything possible to have only happy customers.One of the things I liked about this gimbal is the replaceable battery. This allows me to carry charged spares, and of course replace a defective battery -- something you generally can't do with most devices with internal rechargeable batteries. It was this feature that tipped the balance in my picking it. I also found this gimbal to be reasonably easy to use, but...Both the side zoom knob and small joy stick button eventually came off the gimbal and were lost. The zoom knob was not a problem for me since I don't use it, but the missing joy stick button is needed for all other manual controls. This might not make a difference to you if you use the app exclusively, but I really need that control. So for me the device is now pretty much useless -- all for the lack of a 10 cent part. Since NO parts are available, that also means you're out of luck if you lose the battery door as well, which is held in place magnetically.I can understand not stocking small replacement parts for inexpensive items, but the investment in a device like this is not trivial, and it should not be rendered disposable for lack of a simple part that the manufacturer could easily keep on hand and supply to their customers.

I have owned this unit for about 8 months. I have used it sporadically with a droid phone and I was happy with it. Although I did not use all of it features such as the zoom, it fit my needs. It still had some bouncing motion when walking with it but not too bad. The reason for the 3 stars is because it quit working. The servo motors have either failed or some gearing system became misaligned. It still powers up. Maybe 3 stars is very gracious.

I purchased this about 3 weeks ago and it’s pretty much everything the product description says except for one thing that doesn’t work as stated in the info. The zoom and focus doesn’t work for mine. I’m not a tech expert on this but it could be my phone is not compatible and/or my settings aren’t set to support such, but none the less, overall it’s a good product. I would probably use it more often if those functions would work with my iPhone. I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and if anyone else has similar issues or suggestions, I would like to know. I thought about returning the item but it does have useful features that I do like.

This device works very well. As a beginner myself, I can say it is easy to manipulate and work with, as the controls are very simple to understand. In terms of price ranges and quality, this stabilizer is a very good model especially if you begin using a stabilizer for the first time. It is perhaps not a 100% perfect one, but in general the product can satisfy enough for everything that it has to give, especially for such a price. There are tons of other similar products in terms of quality and such that competes with this one, but (again) for it price, all the features this specific model can offer and the overall reviews ive seen, it'd be a great stabilizer I would recommend new users to start with.

Smart X Pro with AiMy first gimbal and it works fine on my Samsung S24 Ultra with a Nillkin thin case on. No need to take the case off and phone isn't too heavy.Great features that I'm still learning but well worth it.Video and photo quality is great. Build quality feels good.Nice and versatile enough to fold down fairly small for a bag or pocket.

Viele bekannte Marken funktionieren auch nur mit sehr teuren Handy, doch dieses Gimbal braucht nur Android und ein Bluetooth um sein Talent zu beweisen. Die Installation der App ist kinderleicht so wie die Verbindung. Da wo es schwierig wird, ist die Einstellungen und die Vielseitigkeit des Geräts, weil das kleine mitgelieferte Buch nur die Beschreibung der verschiedene knöpfe zeigt aber kein Wort über das Programm im Handy. Es gibt auf YouTube ein paar Videos, die alles Punkt für Punkt erklären, sind aber leider alle auf Englisch.Ich gebe ihm aber doch fünf Sternen, weil es sich wirklich lohnt für Videos und Bilder aufnahmen mit mehr Stabilität.

very convenient to use anytime, anywhere and any situation. may satisfaction is reached.

I ordered this to use for capturing images and video of roadside construction and maintenance activities as part of my work assessing and mitigating their visual impact. Depending on the project I usually perform this task while walking or from a slow moving vehicle (not exceeding 30km/h, but usually closer to 10km/h). I brought the gimbal out to test on a recent project and found it wasn't adequate for my needs, though seems like it would work well for more casual photographers and videographers as my use case is a fringe one.I was pairing the gimbal with an iPhone 15 Pro in a fairly slim case, not a thick heavy duty case, and I found that the gimbal's smartphone clamp was a less secure fit to the phone than other clamps I have. I can appreciate the need for compact size and flexibility to support multiple phone models but I think this part could be improved. Additionally, the wireless charging feature never worked on my iPhone regardless of whether the case was on or off and how the phone was positioned in the clamp.The controls feel good and responsive, however require a bit of practice to get the feel for them. The battery life was adequate during my testing as I was able to keep the gimbal running during 30-45 minute sessions and charge it in between using a high powered USB-C car charger in my work truck. This use pattern is typical for my work and easily met expectations. The fact that the gimbal uses a standard removable battery is a big bonus as one could have multiple batteries available in applications where recharging is not possible during the day.Unfortunately I found that the gimbal did not offer much improvement in stabilization compared to a non-stabilizing handheld mount or a non-stabilizing vehicle suction cup mount. Perhaps this is really a testament to the iPhone 15 Pro's built-in stabilization, but in some cases the results with the gimbal provided a less stable image than without. In both cases I had to run the same software stabilizing treatment on the gimbal-shot footage and the non-gimbal footage, which is what I was hoping to eliminate or reduce by using the gimbal.The included app is decent, though the interface could be made more intuitive and it would be nice if it offered better explanations of the different modes it can operate in. I did not notice any issues with video recorded through the app, though photos have limited options for things like image resolution. The built-in panorama shooting function works well mechanically, though the software generates a fairly low resolution image and does not preserve the original constituent images to use for stitching at full resolution back in the office.It seems to work exceptionally well at following faces when paired with the included tripod stand, so if one were using it for something like recording the proceedings of a conference it could be an ideal choice. While I didn't test it, I could also see it performing well with features like Continuity Camera.You can use the gimbal without the app though some functions are more limited or, in the case of panorama mode, not available. I tested this while capturing LiDAR and photogrammetry data using the Scaniverse app and it worked reasonably well as I was able to use the gimbal's handheld controls to adjust pan and tilt and the stabilizer continued to work. It did not improve performance of the scanning compared to operating the phone handheld or on a non-stabilizing mount, however.Operating the gimbal can be tiring on the hand, wrist, and arm after extended periods due to the weight of the working assembly but much of this weight comes from the iPhone itself and from the gimbal's battery - neither things the fault of the device. By itself the weight feels good and the manufacturing quality is fairly solid. I wouldn't expect it to hold up during extended use in extreme weather or sports/action scenarios but the product is not rated for these uses and neither are competing products at this price point, so it's not something I would dock points for but is something to be aware of when considering a purchase.Overall, I would recommend this to an occasional or casual user or perhaps one who is focused on an applications like person-on-the-street interviews or wants to improve the quality of their family or vacation videos. It's a well thought out product and the quality is good for the price, though I have returned it as it did not meet my specific needs.
