Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought the Roxant Video Stabilizer out of curiosity, more than anything else, to understand how it works."
"The only two pieces of plastic on the unit are two non-critical plastic tension screws that could be replaced with a 5-cent wingnut if they were to ever break or get lost. I eventually found the sweet spot for my counterweights and repositioned the handle to the front position. I see so many people on Youtube who would vastly improve their videos if they would start using a stabilizer. You won't be able to do that with a larger stabilizer because a lot of the units extend 2-3 feet below the camera. This stabilizer is considerably lighter than my Opteka unit that kills my arm after using it for 5 minutes, not to mention the Roxant costs 1/3 the price and works equally as well."
"The company emailed me to let me know they have an online video tutorial on how to balance the rig (which is a great video) and to make sure I was happy with my purchase."
"I am a professional camera operator in Los Angeles, and having been in the industry for over 20 years I've had the opportunity to use dozens of different types of camera rigs...most of them for larger, full size cinema cameras. There are times when I need to "fly" a smaller camera (GoPro, SmartPhone or even a small DSLR) and I don't want to or can't pull out my full size stabilizer rig...either because of weight, space restrictions or unwanted attention that it draws. If this is your first time using a camera stabilizer I highly recommend watching several of the videos on the Roxant website, showing assembling, balancing, fine tuning and even operating the rig."
Karma Grip captures the amazing handheld and body- worn perspectives only a GoPro can—now with pro-quality stabilization. Karma Harness for HERO4 Black and Silver cameras sold separately.

"Gopro product has it's gopro expectations."
"The Karma grip’s battery life is excellent and isn’t affected by the cold."
"The stabilizer pretty much becomes a stabilizer and battery pack for the gopro camera and GREATLY reduces it's own battery life...SO even if you have spare camera battery it will do you no good as the stabilizer is dead before the camera. I purchased a gopro battery bank and once the gopro stabilizer battery is depleted due to the use of the camera i connect the battery bank to the gopro stabilizer via a usb cable and it powers the stabilizer for a good amount of time until the battery bank is depleted."
"I had a connectivity problem between camera and grip at first which I resolved by removing the camera from the grip and reinserting the camera a couple of times."
"The horizon does not stay anywhere near level, the camera rocks back and forth even if I'm just walking and holding the stabilizer, even after resetting and recalibrating many times."
"The stabilizing part works, but the buttons on the grip don't control the camera, like they're supposed to. The stabilizing works, but you have to push the camera's power button and shutter button, which causes the camera to move, negating the benefit of an stabilizer. I've tried 2 grips, neither worked. But I don't know if the problem is the grip or my new Hero 6 camera."
"Never could get it to work."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I am a sports photographer and have a 200 f2 and 400 2.8 and although can be done handheld, once you place them on a gimbal head, it’s truly revolutionary. Whether you have Apple or Samsung, iPhone or Galaxy, small or large, the Osmo will accommodate them all. I ordered via Amazon and it was shipped directly from Shenzhen, China via FedEx. You need to download the DJI Go app and set up an account which will ask for access to your photos and microphone on the phone. There's substantial lag between when the photo and video buttons are pressed before phone camera/video takes the picture/video. There’s a trigger on the opposite side which allows different functions: hold trigger — stays in current position regardless of handle movement. 2 tap — center’s phone. 3 tap — switches to front camera for selfies. Stabilization is amazing! Weight: 17.25oz with battery. 22.30 oz with phone 6 and apple leather case. Action sequences where you are moving and panning is where this really shines! For parents, this gadget would be fantastic for when your child first begins their first steps, learns to ride their bike, singing birthday parties, and sports where you can be close to the action. What I liked: ⁃ Awesome stabilization. ⁃ Decent battery life on Osmo. ⁃ Easy to share quality images/video. Things to consider: ⁃ Heavy after prolonged use. ⁃ iPhone battery depletes quickly. ⁃ Phones with larger case may have issues. - lag between pressing buttons (photo/video) and actual taking or picture/starting recording. Will continue to use and update as I learn new things."
"The problem is that once you have pictures or videos, they live in the DJI Go app, and you have to copy them to be accessible by your phone ONE-BY-ONE. The good news is that I think DJI will figure this out, and improve the App."
"I was actually hopting the OSMO 3x Zoom $650 model would win our usage tests... but not so, the OSMO Mobile, using the iPhone 7 Plus's camera is the best configuration as of Feb, 2017."
"It will take 7 days of shipping it to the repair center, then it will take you 8-10 business days to get approved for repair... then they can repair and ship it back to you. I thought DJI is a the leading company in field, but their product quality and customer service sucks..."

"The Steadytracker was too heavy and too big(i would bump the legs into the wall or furniture or even my own legs on low shots) and it was extremely hard to get gimbal type of smoothness. However, using the steadytracker did teach me how to move with a stabilizer so I was very happy to see how smooth my shots are using the Roxant. I will say even though it's not perfectly balanced on my G7, I am still getting smoother shots with it than I did with my Canon on the steadytracker."

"- The video/still panning dial/lock is also a very nice feature, allowing you to really lock down the vertical tilt while still being able to smoothly pan horizontally when shooting video. And then when you need to you can just flip the knob and be able to lock down both pan and tilt securely (like for still photography)."
"There are lots of knobs and different, small adjustable mechanisms that make it slightly less user friendly than my old tripod - but exponentially more accurate and precise."
"We like the release clip to free the small piece to mount on the bottom of the camera / phone. NOTE: In video, I show a separate selfie stick attachment which I can use to mount a smartphone on the mounting clip for the tripod."
"I just brought my canon camera last november and i haven’t able to buy a tripod but when i saw this tripod i immediately brought this."
"I love the quality of this product compared to the known brands out there in the market."
"Either way the stand could hold the projector steadily, without any problem."
"If u want to take a nice picture and u don't have a steady hand get a tripod it'll solve ur problem."

Find Best Price at Amazon"All in all, a great device to capture better audio for Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook live, not to mention just recording memories on you device. I totally recommend this if you're in the market to increase the audio in your videos on a budget."
"Reason for 3 stars is because the sound quality is definitely an improvement from the internal mic of the camera, but there are a lot of issues (mostly minor). The static can be minimal to completely removed using noise reduction software that comes with probably every video editing application. With WiFi enabled on the camera, the static I mentioned before passes the point of editable and the audio suffers greatly. You will most likely have to edit all audio unless you don't mind a hush crackling static sound."
"I got this as a gift for my girlfriend so that she could improve the audio quality of her videos as she likes to film using her phone."
"A great start for someone just getting into video, good sound always helps the final product."
"I invested in this bad boy for future projects and this audio is literally fantastic."
"It was ripped up and didn't feel new but when I was testing to see if it worked perfect, all I hear is me talking and a really loud static noise in the background."
"Well, as I type this I am editing a video and and losing minutes of content because I have to cut out so much of the popping noises."
