Oh gimbals!

[Juan Albion]

Okay, wise people of NSC (and the rest of you), has anyone used a 3-axle gimbal with a Samsung S8 Plus ? Anyone have a model they recommend for a phone this large? Bear in mind I'm not looking to break the bank...

Thank you kindly.

What in Gods name is a 3 axel gimbal ? Sounds like a sexual torture device but I can't for the life of me work out why something like that would need to connect to a phone.

The Omsung Gumbal is what you want.

If I told you that it's necessary to set the phone to vibrate mode first, would that aid your understanding of the possibilities?

It would. I have a Samsung phone so all I need to do now is grab my favorite tipple and see what biscuits we have in the cupboard. Mrs W is in for a very BIG surprise !

Have you tried Ann Summers?

I've got my eye on the Zhiyun Z1. It's still not cheap, but it's a lot cheaper than most. Not sure how big your phone is, but it's designed for 7" screens.

Yeah, I'm thinking that or the DJI OSMO, but I haven't found anywhere that comments on how well they work with an S8+.

Are we signing him from China to tap into the lucrative Far Eastern Premier League market?

The OSMO would be my choice but it's almost twice as much. I'v not researched this topic in a while, but just seen that there is now a Zhiyun Smooth Q which is £100 and 'rivals' the DJI OSMO which I think is still about £300 for the mobile one.

The Smooth Q can take a maximum payload of 220 grams. My iPhone 7+ is under that at about 190grams. Think I might take a punt on it.

Luckily I pay in dollars. UK prices are always a rip off for technology.
