I am currently vacationing in Hawaii and have been using this gimbal stabilizer non stop. This has been such a valuable tool to take pics of my husband, son and I during our trip. With COVID around, people are more cautious about asking others to take their photos and I don’t blame them! I used the stabilizer to take smooth videos during our hike at Diamond Head and selfie stick to take videos/pics of the scenic view when we reached the top. I used the tripod at the beach to take videos of the sun setting and my family just playing at the beach. This tool has been super easy to use, is lightweight so it’s great for travel (not the most stable when it’s windy but can easily be anchored down), and I had no issue with battery life on a full charge. Will definitely take on all my future trips!
