hohemiSteady Pro 4 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for GoPro 13/12/11/10/9 8/7/6/5, for Osmo Action and Other Action Cameras,Support Bluetooth & Cable Control, IPX4 Splash Proof with Tripod

The product was used for stabilizing various GoPro cameras. Please not that it will NOT fit the GoPro 11 Mini. It is simply too thick for that particular camera. Others, no problem. It does an excellent job of stabilization, and when used with the electronic stabilization of the GoPro 11, your videos will become quite smooth, there there is still just a bit of movement detected while walking. It also works in a pinch, as an acceptable tripod. It's good for a day of shooting, and will probably outlast your patience during the day. I really enjoyed using it, and the price is right. Neither is it too heavy. I've a larger stabilizer, for heavier cameras (Canon, Sony, etc.), but when I want to go light, and compact, the GoPro/Hohem iSteady Pro 4 is only a light burden, on a day trek.

If you have an action cam, Gimbals can be awesome. This one was easy to set up and the value was good. It feels sturdy and well built. You can spend a lot on Gimbals, but for personal use, this is a great value. It is also nice to use a table top tri-pod. Easy to use and set up, just read the instructions, these are pretty simple versions. One complaint is the manual didn't give a ton of info, but honestly, google instructions. There are lots of videos and reviews and people will walk you through set up and use on youtube.

I bought this for an Akaso Brave 7 and I can confirm that it does fit the camera. Does a great job at stabilizing the camera. If you are buying for an Akaso action camera just be aware that the wireless and Bluetooth functionality does not work currently.Great Gimbal for the price and does everything I need it for.

Good shipping, good GoPro gimbal

I did my research and narrowed my choice down to this unit despite some of the not so good reviews. I especially liked the review in which the individual compared this to a vibrater. Item arrived on time and anxious to try it out with my GoPro. Much to my surprise, the previously mentioned review was accurate. When power up, it just vibrated with camera attached. Even after turning down the axis torque settings it would still hum a bit, plus now the axis motors didn’t have enough power to move the camera around. I sent it back for a replacement and that one also did the same thing. Mechanical design team did a really nice job with this as it seems to be well made and sturdy. The electrical engineering of this unit is a lot to be desired. Sorry HOHEM, but you need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

This thing works with my Wolfgang G420. Very stable video, no jitter and very professional looking. I highly recommend this to all sport video blogger. Very robust and can take the punishment's. I would not suggest getting it wet thought although it is what they say a waterproof. Very happy with my video shots looking professionally done.

Initially the gimbal looks good out of the packaging. As advertised the gimbal will charge your devices. Two different charging ports. One for the camera and a usb port to charge other devices.Installing the action cam on the gimbal can be a little tricky. Do not try to install the camera on the gimbal with any kind added cases or cages. The arm that locks the camera in place will jam and possibly break. Do not turn the gimbal on without a camera installed. It will act a straight fool and make you think something is wrong with it.Gimbal movements work for the most part but sometimes the gimbal tends to do its own thing and turn upside down or completely shift to the wrong direction. When this happens you have to turn the gimbal off and manually turn it back around correctly. This only really happens when you're trying to get a shot at Ann awkward angle.The weight of the gimbal loaded with a camera isn't bad. Fairly comfortable to use and carry for an extended amount of time. However the framing and mechanics of the gimbal gets in the way of your view finder which makes looking into the screen to get a good shot challenging at times. Because of that reason I don't really use the gimbal that much compared to an extendable selfie stick. The gimbal can be added to a selfie stick or tripod but make sure your tripod has a wide base. The higher you go the worse the balance and center of gravity gets.I'd like the product at a slightly cheaper cost though. Ultimately you don't really need a gimbal with higher quality action cams like GoPro or DJI due to the built in stabilization. However if you're looking for a cinematic shot or slowing down the footage in post, the gimbal is worth it.In closing I will keep the gimbal and put it to use when I absolutely need it. I wouldn't buy it again at its current price. To each their own though.

It works well and is easy to use. There are plenty of videos showing the different features, which makes the learning curve easier.
