Freevision VILTA 3-Axis Handheld Stabilizer Gimbal for Phones & Actions Cameras, Black (VILTA-M)

I love this gimbal. It does everything I need it to do and is easy to set up and balance, I've even had my Sony Xperia XA Ultra, which is a large phone, and it balanced it no problem. Unfortunately the buttons on the Sony are a problem so I just use my iPhone with this now.

After a nice consideration, the VILTA-3 , worth the price! You’ll be happy to have it!

Great as long as it works. In my case, this was about two weeks.The fact that you need a separate app just to shoot is a downside (because, at least for Samsung, the original camera app shoots better quality videos and makes better use of the phone hardware). But you can live with it and the stabilization works quite nice.However, in my case the biggest issue was a bug which could not be solved with a fw update: the gimbal would shut down (go limp) as early as a few seconds after startup, even on a full charge and would no longer respond until connected to a power source again.Freevision offered me the option to send it to China for repairs (which would take forever and cost me half as much as a new gimbal). They also asked for a proof of purchase (which would not always work if this were a gift).All in all, I could not rely on this for any future serious projects or a gift.

I researched quite a few gimbles and decided on this one due to price and it was possibly the best on the market.App is good and updates come regularly. Also firmware updates for the hardware have been issued a few times. Which can be annoying if you don't update.Need to use regularly to remember the controls. Also I find I needed to fine tune the movement as the standard can be quick.Down side is you have to balance the phone every time you put your phone in. I think this would be the case for every gimble.I also purchased a small tripod to fit to the bottom. I see others come with this. Mine did receive into the case nicely when unscrewed.Case is nice and fits well and secure.

I have had this product for 3 years and now discover that the app for iPhone has been deleted making the product totally useless. Lesson learnt the hard way I guess.

So far I've only used this item for about a week but so far I'm very happy with my purchase. Initial thoughts were that it was a little larger and heavier than other models on the market but I hope this is down to build quality. I really like the contoured case that is supplied with this item. The battery charged quickly, installing my GoPro Hero 4 was easy (using the supplied sleeve) and there were no issues with calibration. Overall I'm very happy, but I'm not sure the extra weight and other clunky features are justified when paying quite so much for this item.

Thanks to the app being withdrawn from the iOS app store I am now the very disapponted owner of a very expensive and useless piece of kit. DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE THE OWNER OF AN IPHONE !!!

Used and loved it for a couple of years, but then the locking dial froze so I stopped using it for a while. Have managed to unfreeze it today to find the app no longer on the iOS store, and the app has been "offloaded" from my phone. 100% useless without the Freevision FV Share app :(
