Handheld Stabilizer for Camcorder Camera Video DV DSLR Nikon Canon, Sony, Panasonic

A little tricky to get it balanced, but that's with any steadycam. Surprisingly good build quality. Definitely recommend to any aspiring filmmaker on a budget 👍

Cheap and easy to assemble, if this is your first time with a stabilizer, just note that it's not a user-intuitive experience and requires some getting used to and practice to wield properly.Also recommend using prime lenses with this setup, you can use a zoom lens but if you change your zoom at all, you'll need to re-calibrate the balance every time you adjust the zoom; but isn't that true of all stabilizers?

Arrived with no mounting plate and I returned it and they sent me a free replacement. Cool of them but it's still a crappy product. I had a professional try to stabilize it and he couldn't. The hand grip slips which ruins shots. The bubble levels also fall right out. There's a design flaw in that anyways because they're the circular horizontal ones that are supposed to be mounted on the top and they're on the size. So they're useless. No instructions either. I think the weights aren't the right weight. Also theres no way to fine tune. So I got what I paid for and I paid nothing. It's a crime to pay fifty bucks for it.

The handle is too close to the head making low angle shooting hard. And from my point of view it's not "big" enough to confidently handle my 2lbs 12oz camera, resulting in "wobbly" videos after trying to get it balanced.

Do not BUY this item if you are willing to the some stable shots with a heavy dslr the handle axis is non adjustable which makes it insanly impossible to balance not safe at all for your camera and the micro adjustement are literally impossible to to get right due to lack of nobs it too short that the handle axis is touching the camera mount and extremly affected by wind micro motions ! therefor would do for a liht mirrorless camera or an smaller than that its lightweight convinient for traveling and easy carrying but for the quality of the stabilisation i think it would be better to invest extra buks for better quality product cuz this is a complet waist of 50buks

Build is good and you just need sometime to balance, like any other stabilizer.

I found it kind of difficult to setup, I had to search for a few vídeos on the Internet to help me. But it's ok, worked well for the use I was planning and has a very nice price.

I'm sure it works just fine with the right amount of time spend tinkering with it BUT for me I really didn't have the patience for it. It was wobbly and I felt like I had little control. (Doesn't even come with instructions or at least a diagram with photos to show someone with no knowledge on glide cams how to properly use it) Only way I was able to get super smooth shots with this was using it with my 2 wheeled hover board. Wasn't truly satisfied with it so I returned it, saved up a bit more, and purchased the ronin m.
