Some quick comments:
Good vibration resistance
Auto rotation mode with custom time setting is useful for panorama genre or timelapse shooting
Compact, lightweight and monolithic metal design makes it easy to move and manipulate shooting or video recording
Large capacity battery makes the gimbal work longer
The Gimbal can only be connected to the phone via Feiyu’s app but cannot interfere with the shooting control via Sony’s PlayMemories Mobile app, so it is inconvenient to switch back and forth when shooting and recording videos.
