I bought this last time it was $20. I wish I hadn't. A two axis gimbal is completely useless. You'll never really be in a situation where you'd only need stabilization on two axis. It just doesn't work well. The motor is way too weak for my iPhone 12 Pro. I thought it
Ugh this not be a good gimbal at $20 but I figure I could use it as a tripod or selfie stick at least. Nope. The thing has to be on and powered otherwise your phone just flops on it like a dead fish. Worse yet is it requires you to download an app to use it. So yeah..wish I hadn't bought this piece of junk. It also didn't hold my phone very well with a case on it. I might be able to get it to work if I tried a bit harder but I just don't think it would work really well if I got it working exactly as it should. I would pass.

I have the Q3…. Get a better gimbal. It doesn't give you up and down stabilization. And it really struggles with your typical smart phone size unless your rocking an iPhone 13 mini or something

The Smooth X is a 2-axis gimbals whereas the Smooth Q3 is a 3-axis gimbals.

If you walk and film, you'd want the Smooth Q3.

Otherwise, you'll noticed a noticeable bounce with each step you take in the Smooth X. If you're okay with filming from a static location, the Smooth X would work.

However, be wary that older gimbals might not be able to support the weight and size of newer devices. In one Q&A, the vendor said it was best suited for the iPhone 11.

Depends on your lifestyle, but at the very least small tripods are pretty useful on trips. Buying this after watching a couple YouTube videos on it since it seems like it can help step up the vacation footage game.

Picked up the Smooth-Q3. Online reviews from reputable sites (just google the model and add review) seem above average. Worse case I get it and it's not to my liking, I can return it.
I think you have to pay return shipping label. "Shipping and handling fees are nonrefundable."

I guess I'll just resell it if I don't like it.

I'd never buy another zhiyun gimbal ever again. First of all their app is buggy as can be and then after one month the gimbal stopped working.

Return shipping is not free and PayPal is ending the return shipping reimbursement program. Other ways to return it for free?
Visit NYC and return it at the store?

Almost no gimbals help with up and down movement unless you get an extra attachment. Learn to ninja walk.
