Zhiyun Z1-Smooth-C 3-Axis Handheld Brushless Gimbal Smartphone Stabilizer

I have been doing "steadicam" video shooting for years. I own a Glidecam 2000, which literally took me more than a year to figure out how to properly use. Unlike the Glidecam which requires endless micro adjustments and a fair amount of user finesse, the Zhiyun (Neewer) Z1-Smooth-C works right out of the gate with little or no balancing required and the skill level of a point and shoot camera (in other words, no skill required). For the money this thing is amazing! Getting smooth footage is effortless. I can't imagine going back to the old-school version which is heavier, harder to balance, and requires a learning curve to get various shots. For my heavier, mirrorless, GH4 M4T cam, I'm planning on getting the beefed up version of this same gimbal. I have no doubt it will perform equally as well. Buy this gimbal with confidence. It's worth every penny. My only question is what to do with my Glidecam, vest and scissor arm attachment (over $1000 total)?

Very Nice 3 Axis Gimbal With Smooth Motion. Took A While To Get Balance And Understand The Modes. It's On A Go To Get Smooth Shots.

A nice Gimball, at a great price point. Finding it useful with LG V20 smart phone. Making smooth videos, which add a touch of class. Recommended product. 4 stars instead of 5 because build quality is slightly below top end, but again, so is the price!

Great value. Easy to use.

After giving one star to this gimbal because I failed almost from the beginning and gave a review of a star, also mentioned that the gimbal was cheap and poorly manufactured, I think I rushed saying that I don't recommend the gimbal. Ater rwwo month later the seller contacted me and ask me how the gimbal was working, Itold the gimbal was defective and not work well one of the funtions, they told me that the gimbal had a one-year warranty, and I can sent the defective gimbal back and they were going to send me a new gimbal, so I did thah, the customer service was wonderful, an attention that I was not expecting, They were very polite, they sent me a prepaid label to return the defective gimbal, I returned it and within a week I got a new gimbal, it is incredible the speed and the attention to the consumer, I tried to day the new gimbal and work to perfection, I hope it continue working well, now I highly recommend this gimbal, because in case gimbal fail you will have a great attention to solve the problem if one comes out, now I am very happy with my purchase, because now I know that this product has a great support, that is the Most important thing of any purchase.
