Vimbal 2 | 3 Axis Gimbal Review

[xdaman85]

Purchased this gimbal for £66, tested it out with my Galaxy Note 8, and I must say it worked surprisingly well with the Note 8.

Here's my review of it if anyone is interested:

One problem with most, if not all smartphone gimbal is that I haven't found one that would hold the Note 8 in a slightly thicker case (in my case the ZIzo Bolt) securely. GImbal companies need to rethink all their new gimbals to be able to securely hold a large smartphone in a medium to thicker type case... unless someone has had some experience with a particular brand/type of gimbal they'd like to share?

Yep, it's annoying having to take off the case first before mounting to the gimbal. Last time I did that, I ended up losing my case lol

Yup... I do not trust the gimbal to securely hold my note 8 without dropping it.

Is the video stutter more to do with the editing software or the phone's camera? It's not as smooth as I'd expect it to be with this kind of rig. Maybe stuttering is not the right word for it, it's like hazy. Like the bit with the window on that building. I'm looking at it and it's all fuzzy moving from one side to another. Is that a video filter you used for the post edit or something? I'm a bit confused at the quality of the footage or if that was just a bad upload on YouTube's end. Like maybe they degraded your video?

It was just the way I edited it (the first part of the video), the last part of the video wasn't edited, so not sure why that happened, probably more to do with the phone than the gimbal.
