As for the gimbals stabilization, I think it's very good and the fact that the gimbal is light and compact makes it ideal for a light load to carry around and use. I've decided to keep the gimbal because it does stabilize well and is convenient, but I would really like to see it work as advertised, because trying to manually start and stop on the camera while the gimbal is on is difficult as well as upetting the gimbal balance. But that might be how I'll have to use it.
