Neewer Carbon Fiber 24"/60cm Handheld Stabilizer with Quick Release Plate 1/4" and 3/8" Screw for DSLR and Video Cameras up to 6.6lbs/3kg

The media could not be loaded. This works very well and the quality is great considering the price. Exactly what I have come to expect from this particular company. It takes a little practice but I think I will use this more often than my Crane Plus simply because it is quicker to get ready and you can just throw it in the trunk and not worry about damaging a $400 piece of electronics. Mind you it doesn't perform as well as the crane in certain areas but the ease of use (once you learn how) make it to be the one you most likely will grab for everyday use. For the important cinematic shots the Crane is still superior. I don't know about durability because I have only had it a few days. Ease of use I gave 3 because it does take practice but that's not a fault of the product but a reality for this type of stabilizer. Overall I am very happy with the product. Video is 60 fps.

Works pretty well. It does take some skill to learn how to properly use it. And it gets heavy in your arms pretty quick. Not to mention you can kind of lose control of the thing if you’re not careful. But if you do it right you can get some pretty smooth looking shots. In the end though, it was too much of a hassle. I upgraded to a gimbal and I haven’t looked back. I can’t say I’ll miss this heavy cumbersome thing. But if you’re looking for some cheap stabilization this will do the trick. Just don’t expect it to work for every shot.

It's an okay product. I am a beginner on using this type of an equipment but it was kind of tough finding the right balance for my Cannon T3i Rebel. Im not sure if I set it up correctly though due to my first time experiencing. But, when I try the balance test and its always flimsy/spinning around. I also noticed on the neck part of the product. It makes a weird thud noise every time I try to test its balance. Feeling like its causing it to not balance well and spin around.I kind of expect the product not to be that flimsy-ish, but I do quite experience it when recording. It's all on the neck part of the product that may be causing the situation.

This handheld stabilizer is a well made piece of equipment and perfect for any videographer. An inexpensive option to the big names and gives me the same final results. Doesn't take long to set it up and balance it so getting the hang of it is fast and simple. Well made from strong carbon fiver materials and comes with it’s own carrying bag to keep it in. I’ve used it with my Sony A6000 and the functioning and support together were amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a stabilizer, much better option price wise that can still do all the same functions as the big boys.

I bought the Neewer stabilizer to use with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. I also bought an adapter (Vastar Model # C4) to mount the smart phone to the Neewer quick release plate. They coupled beautifully and the adapter holds the phone firmly countering problems I have had with other adapters where the phone might rotate due to not having a strong enough hold. Back to the Neewer...It works well, didn't take too long to balance although I couldn't use the included weights as the phone was too light so had to buy some fender washers (1/4" Interior hole size) of diameters to have the proper amount of weight to counter balance my phone properly.The rotational bearing is smooth as silk but not squirly and very controllable. And, most of all the video I have shot with it is pretty darned smooth. I do shoot with the phone/camera's image stabilization turned on which I am sure helps out! I haven't tried it with a DSLR but am pretty sure it could handle the additional weight with the weights included with the stabilizer, except with a larger telephoto (>400mm).Hope this helps!

I was just getting into film making when I bought this, if I would've known just a few key things I would've spent a little more money for something nicer and more "future proof". If you are just starting out be warned, this stabilizer will not move on with you, there is no way it can. Here are my complaints about this stabilizer:1). The Quick Release plate (the plate that screws into the bottom of the camera and allows it to attach to the stabilizer) is specific to only this stabilizer. So if you buy a tripod you have to disassemble the whole thing just to attach an entirely different quick release plate to your camera to mount it to a tripod. If you shoot weddings like I do, thats impossible.2). The way they designed the mechanism that balances the camera and the quick release plate is impossible to use if you plan on quickly jumping between other mounting equipment. If you remove the camera from the stabilizer you have to rebalance it when you return the camera to the stabilizer. On other models with a cheese grate balancing system the Quick release plate system is bought separately so you know it will match your other equipment (for ease of changing mounts) and the balancing knobs do not push the QR plate around, they push around a cheese grade plate the QR plate is attached to. This means you just snap your camera back onto the stabilizer and theres no rebalancing needed! This is one of the biggest flaws about this stabilizer and how its not future proof.3). I'm sure this one is also my own doing, but every time I balance this stabilizer and pick it up off the stand its sitting on it sways around way too much. I do everything right according to every online video: the bottom of the stabilizer should take 2-3 seconds to travel from a horizontal to a vertical position. The camera is also perfectly vertical when I deem it "balanced". But after I remove it from the stand and walk around with it, the stabilizer will begin to lean to one side, or waver too much when walking (very slowly and carefully).I gave this stabilizer 2 stars because for what it is it is a decent stabilizer for its price. The build quality is adequate and the price is hard to beat. with that said I HIGHLY recommend if you're new to this, or don't want to spend a lot of money on gear, DO NOT go cheap on your stabilizer. It will seriously effect your quality and you will regret not being able to use it moving forward.
