By default, Karma Grip disables the in-camera stabilisation so you can actually activate the second tier of stabilisation by accessing it from the camera menu and activating the in-camera stabilisation too. Add to that stabilisation in the post and you are set for a buttery smooth footage....
So help me on this one! I have a GoPro Hero 6. Following 2 options: 1. Buy a Karma Grip for it 2. Buy a GoPro Hero 8 and trade it the 6 to get $100 discount Price of options 1 and 2 are the same. What should I pick? :)
GoPro Grip for the win. Smooth as a butter. I owned Feyu and Evo. Nice construction but not as smooth as GoPro. Plus you can get GoPro Care and they will replace it even it is your fault when you break it. Great customer service too.
Thanks for the straight forward review man! I've been doing research for days trying to figure out the best gimbal for myself. I own a hero 5 black so the Karma grip seems like the best option for me. 🖒
the only thing i would have done differently is to indicate which video is which. Meaning, when you show footage from the hero5, its says hero5 to to indicate thats its shot on a hero5. Also would have been cool to have a "spilt screen" shot between the stabilized and un-stabilized shot. Other than that, great video, been watching your videos from day one. Come along way since you started!!
I agree and was thinking the same thing. You can definitely see a difference, but the way he describes it I think he flipped the frames. Side by side would have been great.
Great review! I just bought one yesterday, along with the Hero 5...I am training for a Marathon and do videos of my running / races (5ks, 10ks, halfs, etc...) and needed to invest in this. It may just be a hobby, but I am super excited to see the footage this thing brings!
Awesome review! I have the Hero5 and have been waiting for more reviews like yours to decide if I should get the Karma Grip, and I definitely will. Thanks!
Thanks for this video! What about Karma's stabilization vs. Hero5 Session's built-in EIS? Are they even comparable? I really don't want another "thing" to carry if I can get away with it. Thanks in advance.
Any body knows if the stabilizer can be mounted to a handlebar with out the actual karma handle? Like only the adaptor, and still work? Im asking this because im not sure if the camera will supply power to the stabilizer or only the grip integrated batteries will. Thanks in advance
Really enjoying my Karma Grip although when I mount it to the handle bars of my road bike (I'm a road bike vloger) after a short while it freaks out and goes off horizon (crooked), therefore I only chest or helmet mount it and it works really well. I've heard about this from a few other cyclist also and it is really disappointing as it would be a nice POV from the bars (or stem) with no arms or anything else in the shot. I'm figuring it worked on your ATV because it has suspension to help dampen the shock whereas on a road bike it doesn't so it can't handle it. Perhaps they'll come up with some firmware to help this out and also give you access to the usb-c port at the bottom to plug in an external mic to help with the terrible sound. Other than that I am really enjoying it! Great review though. You've gained a subscriber here👍🏾
Thanks for the tip Gil but that actually is how I had it mounted. If you've got any other ideas I'm totally open to hearing/trying them. Thanks again👍🏾
So your telling Ronn Rider what his experience is? Pretty sure he wrote that he, "only chest or helmet mount it and it works really well". I know that for myself, I have yet to have it go off balance or tilt. I use it a lot when hiking and have it mounted on my shoulder strap.
DANIEL Rogness Sorry, I meant I had the tilting horizon issue with my chesty even though I check 10 times during the initial part of the ride and at some point it goes off balance. I'm waiting for the cable to release so I can try without the grip.Not sure if the grip part is hitting the stomach at some point causing this. I really hope it's not a stabilizer issue.
1kaaa It uses the gopro mount built into the gopro backpack so I don't believe you would be able to use it with another unless it had gopro mounts on it as well. Not really interested in throwing out $180 for a backpack but the Karma Grip looks like a great addition to anyone with a new gopro
Let me know if you're interested in doing the review on the DJI Osmo. I have one that I would be more than happy to let you use a review.. I live in Ohio, as well and would love to team up with you to do a review on the Osmo for your channel. I'm just starting my channel and I think it would be great to work with you and gain some experience from somebody who has been doing UA-cam for a while. I come from a film School background and have been working in the movie and commercial production industry for a while. I decided to start a UA-cam channel to try to show what goes in to making films and the tools we use. Also, I occasionally perform Magic tricks, which is another hobby of mine. If you're interested you can message me through here or through Twitter twitter.com/samangello
Just what I needed. Been looking for vids that will explain how the tilt lock works and I happened to come across yours! Thanks!

It's definitely worth it I bought mine last week...It's my favorite gadget right now. I was kicked out of the mall for filming with it...
Wow The Karma Grip Is So Much and so Smooth and stable I like it I hate when go pros are So Shakey Great Video Chase..
Pro trick: watch series on kaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Armani Julius Yup, I have been using KaldroStream for months myself =)
So help me on this one! I have a GoPro Hero 6. Following 2 options:

2. Buy a GoPro Hero 8 and trade it the 6 to get $100 discount

Tim Josten buy the hero 8!!! You won’t need the gimble with the hero 8 I promise..

You can achieve so much with this channel :) Keep uploading more here! Loved it
Awesome review! I have the Hero5 and have been waiting for more reviews like yours to decide if I should get the Karma Grip, and I definitely will. Thanks!
Yes!! Let's get this channel up and running again!!
This is the dopest freshest vid Gil has put out
Love from the GilFam. Checking in for the GPH6 review. Double tapped the Bell to be sure to get the notification.
What an amazing Video. Chase, this channel has the potential to get big! Just stay consistent with it. Cheers!
Super informative clip and I think it is totally worth the price...just picked up one in Hong Kong yesterday and eager to start shooting...
I have no idea why no making gimbal for gopro 8
Glad to see another review in this channel!
Thumbs up because I already ordered and you just confirmed that I made a good decision 😬
4:19 I didn't know you were working on Jurassic Park 4!? Where's your inflatable Raptor suit? Nice CHASE scene CHASE!! LOL!!!
Thank you, really good review, kind of making my mind up to replace my DJI Osmo Mobile with a GoPro Karma Grip.
Can you charge the Karma Grip, using an external battery pack?
Because the Karma is charging the GoPro right ?
Thanks for this video! What about Karma's stabilization vs. Hero5 Session's built-in EIS? Are they even comparable? I really don't want another "thing" to carry if I can get away with it. Thanks in advance.
Finally this channel is back
Does the karma grip allow you to access the GoPro's data through its USB C or would I need to dismount the camera for that
Any body knows if the stabilizer can be mounted to a handlebar with out the actual karma handle? Like only the adaptor, and still work?
Im asking this because im not sure if the camera will supply power to the stabilizer or only the grip integrated batteries will.
Thanks in advance
How much tax is added onto the grip and hero 5? Im going to be in LA in 2 weeks and want to buy them at best buy but totally forgot about tax.
Do you have to use/activate the stabilization option on the Hero5 to actually make the Karma grip do its work pefectly?
Please. How will it work for shots in rain or with water.
Thank you, very useful video!
Nice review brah! ...and not to forget, your Ae skillz are on point! SAAAAN!
I've heard and seen reviews where it leans to the side if do some strenuous movements...?
If the GoPro Karma Grip has tri-folding-legs, enabling it to stand on a flat surface, it would be much better.
Agreed!
can someone send me a link to the adapter for a session. everyone talks about it.
That would be perfect for wakeboarding videos
Wtf was the snarling at the start?

Ronn Rider try mounting it with the handle horizontal instead of down. In the same way it's mounted in the drone.
Thanks for the tip Gil but that actually is how I had it mounted. If you've got any other ideas I'm totally open to hearing/trying them. Thanks again👍🏾
Ronn Rider It does the same thing on the chesty as well

Came from the live video!!
Kowdog25 25 same
Awesome!!
Would you be able to test it on the dog mount you got for Echo?
What about the sound when is in the gimbal?
is it possible to use this with the sjcam 4000 or just go pros
no hero session 5 harness yet though.
Is the karma waterproof ?
thank you!!
Is it only compatible with the hero 5 or other go pros
Hero 4 also. You need a different harness to put it in though which you can purchase from wherever they sell the Karma Grip.
in UK now £100
amazing video chase!
Can it be use for Go Pro 7 Silver?
How's the audio with Hero 5?
nice review chase..
You didn't talk about the horizon. You can see that the horizon SUCKS on the Karma Grip!
Did you had sounds issues?
Nice review!
woah great insight
good video! the Karma looks good!!
Thank you for a nice video! ! !
This video is awesome
Cool review
no audio test?
Quality review
Gill came from live video
nice video chase
Gilroy did you get my tweet on twiter
Karma is awesome!
i havent finished watching the vid yet but if he says this thing is worthless something is wrong this is SICK! already great vid like if u agree
can you attach the grip to any backpack or does it have to be gopro's
1kaaa It uses the gopro mount built into the gopro backpack so I don't believe you would be able to use it with another unless it had gopro mounts on it as well. Not really interested in throwing out $180 for a backpack but the Karma Grip looks like a great addition to anyone with a new gopro
Get the DJI Osmo Mobile and buy a GoPro adapter for it. Much better than the Karma.
Not worthless, but should worth less.
I like what you did there 😉
If it cost $99 that would be worth it, but for 299 I gotta say NAH..
i like it

i waited 5 minutes and 14 seconds to say that it was worth it
Worthless kept breaking
