Fantastic gimbal for light weight cameras.

This is a great gimbal. Does everything that a more expensive one can plus it has super software for panorama and time-delay shots. But this is not the gimbal if you have a heavy camera or are going to use long, heavy telephoto lens. The motors are not powerful enough. That's the only negative with this gimbal. I have a Sony a6000 and it works flawlessly with no vibration but I also only use the stock lens it comes with so my rig is light. Most of the negative reviews on this are about the vibration and uneven stabilization. But from the ones that mentioned the model of their camera, they were all on the hefty side. So, if you have a light weight camera or you want to get a less expensive gimbal to start with, I would recommend the RedDog.

Easy to Use & Perfect for Vlogging

I received this gimbal for Christmas after I had been eying it at a local camera store to use with my Sony A7II and I have to say I'm impressed. I've never used one before so I didn't know exactly how to use it. It took me quite some time to get it balanced but I finally figured it out. After the initial time to get it set up and balanced, it takes me less than 5 minutes to set it up now. I love how it has a tripod as well as it is easy to do home vlogs for my channel. I do recommend this one as it's easy to use, although it can be a little heavy. But it never shows in my videos my tremors that my hand will get which I'm very happy about that.

Very nice

Unit came in a nice hard sided case well padded and the device is very professional looking. Tolerances seem to be excellent. It took about a half an hour to balance it but after that it works very nicely. Some issues when the phone app is paired, there is an interruption in the ability to control left right movement with the joystick. Suspect this is a problem with the app. Can’t imagine the app will be very useful anyway. I’ll follow for updates. Used it on a Fuji X100F and seems to work very nicely.

You can elevate your filming experience with the Benro RedDog R1 Handheld Stabilizer, a 3-axis gimbal stabilizer designed with a unique swivel handle for versatile filming angles and compact enough for easy travel. Unlike traditional gimbal stabilizers that only allow straight holding, the Benro R1 offers both Upright and Carry handling modes, making it ideal for high, medium, and low angle filming.

This handheld stabilizer is perfect for cameras weighing up to 2.9 lbs and features CNC machining with a cutting-edge design. Its collapsible handle makes it an excellent choice for those who value portability and convenience. The R1's ergonomic silicon grip ensures comfortable handling, reducing strain during extended shooting sessions.

With a simple turn of a button on the handle, you can effortlessly switch your R1 from high angle to low angle mode, allowing you to track low moving objects or achieve a low 360-degree shot with ease. This feature not only reduces strain on your wrist but also ensures you achieve incredible results every time.

The Benro RedDog R1 is equipped with a long-lasting 13-hour battery life, ensuring it keeps up with you during the most extensive shooting days. Its multi-functional camera control allows you to select and control your desired camera movements with ease. By pressing down on the Mode/On side button function, you can switch between different shooting modes, including Universal Follow Mode (Pink), Locked-down mode (Blue), and Horizontal follow mode (Red), each designed to provide smooth and dynamic camera movements.

The companion smartphone app enhances your filming experience by allowing you to calibrate your R1, operate it remotely, adjust parameters, update the firmware, create a panorama, or create a stunning time-lapse with dynamic motion. For advanced camera control, you can directly operate the photo shutter/focus, video record, and zoom for Sony and Panasonic cameras, making filming more convenient.

The Benro R1 also features a 1/4"-20 threaded hole on the underside of the handle for mounting the stabilizer to a tripod, allowing you to connect the camera at a specific spot while still using the various modes such as Pan track or Lock mode. This handheld stabilizer is compatible with multiple camera types, including mirrorless, smartphones, and action cameras.

With the Red Dog R1 Stabilizer, you can boost your production value while traveling light and compact. Its unique swivel handle, long battery life, three shooting modes, and companion smartphone app make it a must-have tool for every filmmaker and photographer.
