    You're the first reviewer I've seen that doesn't take off the horizontal plate when mounting vertically. Does it cause any problems keeping it on there while you use it? If not, that's a huge win for anyone that needs to quickly switch between horizontal and vertical shooting. Thanks for the awesome review and all your work!

    I have this gimbal for over a year now. I record walking tour/video tours (see my channel). What I really like about this gimbal is the fact that it is really lightweight and easy to use. Also the battery performance is outstanding. I have filmed up to 8 hours a day with this gimbal and never run out of battery. The major con in my opinion is the stabilization. itself It is not that smooth (at least not my gimbal). The amount of shakiness is still really persistent and I always require internal stabilization (camera) applied or even post-processing stabilization in order to get the best result. Which takes a lot of extra time and effort.

    Thanks for your thoughts on this one Brandon. I'm still using a Moza Air 1 gimbal, which if I recall correctly, you were a big fan of for a while. And it was primarily because of its size and weight. This finally seems like a powerful gimbal that is also very compact and doesn't seem to compromise on feature set like some of the other compact gimbals from competitors.
