Buy the kit with the wide angle lens
Love this gimbal! I needed it to film skateboarding and it works perfectly for that. 10/10 would recommend.

Strong Service, Questionable Quality
Update: We did have to take a star away as the second monitor we got had the same issue. The battery stops holding a charge after about 7 months. Otherwise we really enjoyed this monitor and camera system.My wife and I both really like this setup. We did have an issue with the monitor where the charging didn't work and the monitor had to be plugged in with the cord pushed in extremely hard to even turn on. It happened past the Amazon return but Moonbaby offers a longer warranty on the products. We contacted them through Facebook and the customer support tech Nick was extremely helpful. He both offered possible fixes with our current setup while simultaneously getting our information to send a new monitor out to us. Currently we are using the new monitor with no issues. The customer service of the company definitely saved this purchase for us.

Versatile but Expensive
I bought this Joby GorillaPod to complement a full size version I use with a Canon Powershot G15 compact zoom camera because I wanted to record video clips with my iPhone while doing other tasks with both hands such as playing the guitar. The iPhone 11 Pro can carry out a variety of useful video editing features such as cropping into videos whereas I would need to use third party MacOS or PC software to carry out video editing on a computer.This does the job of holding the smartphone securely but it is doesn't feel worth around £50 to me. The little Bluetooth button for starting and stopping video recording or taking a photograph remotely is a very useful feature indeed so overall, a 5 star product which we will use frequently for recording video clips on holiday and for website and YouTube content. I reduced this to a 4 star review because it seems like a £30 product not a £50 product. Definitely expensive for what it is.

Very very impressed with the Owlet Dream Duo!
Super impressed with the Owlet Dream Duo! Set up was incredibly easy in the app for both the Owlet sock and the baby monitor (camera). Just make sure you use the Owlet Dream app (as opposed to the other Owlet app which is designed for their other products) to pair the devices and it walks you through every step. We actually stayed in an AirBnB shortly after purchasing this, and brought the sock and monitor along with us! I was really happy with how quick it was to setup in the house and bring along. The room my daughter in was drafty, and I loved having the live temperature reading on the monitor to make sure she was warm enough. We travel quite a bit so I really look for a monitor that can easily transition to a new place and hook up quickly. The Owlet Dream Duo really hit the mark here. We're very pleased!

Considering the circumstances for how this was mad
I can't even lie, this film exceeded my expectations. Just over a two hour run time for a character study about four guys staring into space from the back of a Volvo. I was certainly worried that this would be WAY too long, but it's likely that the character study aspects of the film are what saved it from dragging. It also helps that the dialog is well written, and also well executed by strong actors. However, this film won't be for everyone, but if you're into the art of filmmaking, and you're also a space geek like myself, than this is exactly for you. It was also shot on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (which goes for about $500 now), with some vintage photography lenses. Considering the circumstances for which this was made, it's an absolute grand slam of a film. Not considering it? Well, than it's a good, solid movie. It truly is. Great work boys.

Great value, but did you need to bribe your review
The unit is reliable and solid, incredible value compared to GoPro. Customer support has been very responsive.Two minor things that may not be an issue for most, but are a problem for our application: When recordings are over 4GB (9 minutes at high resolution), the recording rolls over to a new file. All action cams do this. There is a small but noticeable gap in the Akaso's recordings, which is annoying when the videos are stitched together and played back. Also, for some reason, between just the first and second file, the camera's field of view somehow jumps, so the gap is quite visible. My solution is to start recording baseball games 9 minutes early (sigh).Minus one star for bribing reviewers. The box includes a card (see pix) that gifts accessories, presumably for better reviews. I'm not doing that, but I guess that's how the game is played. Sigh.

Good practicality, lighting and and a life saver f
I use this product for my zoom meetings and I have to say that it works really well. I have bad lighting in my room since it's all wood plus I'm very pale so natural light makes me not look so great on camera and my lamp light it's too bright. I've been looking for a ring light that doesn't make me look washed out but that also doesn't give me a headache because of the brightness and I am happy that this one does the trick. The stand is also nice, when I first saw it I thought it was just very loose and wasn't going to stand properly but because the ring light is very lightweight it works and doesn't give me problems. The clip is also very nice too but I prefer the stick.

Great item, could be just a slight bit more firm.
A good purchase. I like the grip of the foot pieces, flexibility of the legs good, but maybe just not quite firm enough... I really wish we could do half stars, because it is a very minor thing, but I don't want anyone thinking this is a perfect item so we do have to knock the star off. The removable attachment comes off easy enough and once attached to your camera will lock back in place and no worries of it sliding out.Definitely not strong enough to hold a DSLR, but any point and shoot will mount just fine and you shouldn't worry about it falling if securing it to something like a fence or a branch. Comparing it to other octopus style tripod stands, this one is the best I've used (out of two :) ) and so I would definitely recommend this as the one to buy and toss on your desk, or in your backpack when going on a hike.

A great strong mount!
I had bought this along with a competitor mount. I must say that I truly like my competitor mount. But I gave this mount to a fellow co-worker who got yelled at because our company video camera system in our semi trucks had caught him holding his phone 60 times in one day and was given a warning and told to buy a windshield mount and headset. He actual said he loves this phone mount. He said it has amazing, strong sucking stick power. He uses the sticking pads that the majority of our trucks have on the dashes. He said he loves the turn to LOCK/UNLOCK feature which that is what I wish the mount I use had. It sounds like all in all this is a great product and because he said he LOVES it I rated it a 5 star off his rave of it!
