Used Pilotfly H2 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer for Mirrorless and DSLR Cameras, - Bundle With Pilotfly 2-Hand Holder for H2 and T1 Camera Gimbals, Pilotfly RM-1 Wireless Remote Control

Over the past year I've worked with several gimbals and must say that this is by far the best. The single handle is convenient, effective, and a welcome relief from the heavier two-handed gimbals I've used (i.e. CAME-TV, DJI Ronin, etc.). That said, the included two-handed handle works well when I need that extra stability and for longer shoots. I'd also suggest purchasing the PilotFly remote which allows you to use the H2 for time lapses which for some reason isn't mentioned very often!

I am using with Sony a6300 and both SEL1018 f/4 and Sony SEL 35/1.8. Out of the box, no problems with the exception of some slight vibrations in some angles when inverted. I played with the software a bit. Slowed the RC pan and tilt way down and softened the start and stop a bit. Changed the Follow speeds of yaw and pitch as well along with softening the start and stop. REALLY HAPPY! At first glance, the software is intimidating, however, after watching a few YouTube vids, I am more comfortable with it. I would guess most people forget to immediately save all profiles before fiddling with the parameters. SAVE YOUR PROFILES the very first thing you do. Next, do a ACC Calibration. I used the display level on the a6300. My rig had about a 2 degree tilt. I calibrated and now my home position is perfectly level in the camera display. I downloaded the software profile for my camera and the 1018 lens. Frankly, I hated it. I moved back to my SAVED original profile and put a smile back on my face. I'm confident that I will get the small amount of vibration when inverted eliminated when I get a bit more time with the software. The vibration is not causing any video distortion. I can slightly feel it through the grip. I purchased the 2 hand holder as well. I like it but have a couple of concerns about it. 1. The wire from the joy stick to the battery is mostly exposed as is the connector to the joystick. Not liking this at all! Seems like an accident waiting to happen. I'll figure out a way to protect it better. 2. THe 2 hand holder does not come with a case. IIt does not fit into the H2 case well. With the exposed connector and wire, I'm afraid cramming it into the H2 case will damage it. A simple small case should have been included. 3. The area where it connects to the gimble does not have a protective cover when not connected. There are electronic prongs in here that are exposed. They can be damaged. A simple screw on cap solves that.

I bought the product because of the good reviews on Internet. Very easy to balance. Very easy to calibrate with SimpleBGC software. Bluetooth is very convenient. I used it with my Samsung NX1 ans 16-50mm lens. I loved the stable video took with the stabilizer. It gives me a hole new way to shoot videos.
