" ... We can't say much about the size, it's good and the pieces are small, which makes them easy to transport in a tiny bag. ... As a feedback, I would say that the device is not hard to assemble but it takes its time. ... "

" ... I plan on shooting various videos for my youtube channel. ... "
" ... I used it on a Sony A6000 and seems to work well with it, although I think I need watch more of the videos, and perhaps buy more washers as other reviewers have mentioned to fine tune the stabilizer a bit more in order to get it centered better. ... "

" ... When I first got it in the mail I was so excited to use and beginning assembling it the moment I got. ... Assembly process was simple and the instructions were easy to follow, it did take me a while to understand how to get it balanced with my camera (which is expected). ... "
" ... (Since yesterday when I wrote this and the next morning when I'm getting ready to post the review, I learned from the instructions that I do not need all three weights, the lightest one will work well for my needs - weight problem solved!) ... "
" ... I also appreciate the links to the tutorials, as it was a bit tricky to set up. ... "
" ... Just, finally set it up. ... "
" ... Assembly was fairly straightforward but after about 2 hours of trying to balance the camera I gave up. ... "
" ... There are plenty of easy to follow tutorials that make setting up this stabilizer very easy especially for the novice. ... "
" ... They were super helpful & are shipping the spare screw to me free of charge. ... "
" ... It was my 1st time setting one up and using, but the video tutorials were very helpful. ... "

" ... This product was a lifesaver in my project and my wallet! ... "
" ... It is slightly heavier than some I've seen, but it really balances nicely that way. ... "
" ... The color and style is really nice and it doesn't feel bulky. ... "
" ... Love the size, weight, and color. ... "
" ... I think the design makes it easy to hold and the size is very compact, which is one of the main reasons I considered it ... "
" ... It's been very handy in conjunction with my GoPro5. ... "
" ... I haven't quite figured out how to balance it properly yet, but I like the weight and size and look forward to using it more. ... "

" ... I got a much smoother shot than if it were just hand-held. ... "
" ... My cell phone and gopro are center weighted so they worked well. ... "
" ... The 1/4" screw mount at the bottom of the handle is perfect for mounting the gimbal at the end of a selfie stick so I can get smooth elevated shots and for putting some distance away from my 360 camera and my face. ... "
" ... It has an asymmetrical design so it fits better in the hand rather than a straight cylinder shape. ... However, the original grip worked well to begin with but the new grip is just another level higher in build quality. ... "
" ... By holding onto the premium handle with one hand and using the other to grip the bottom portion, this L-shaped grip does a great job at redistributing the weight to both hands, allowing for much smoother and faster movements. ... "
" ... It swivels and stays stable. ... "
" ... It feels like a hand massager and makes the stabilizer very comfortable to hold. ... "

" ... Now that I switched out the lens, it appears to be working better, but I’m still a novice, so tweaking it has been tough. ... "
" ... I brought this for a trip to Malaysia to do some filming with my Nikon D7200. ... "
" ... The weight of a broadcast camera, lens, viewfinder, wireless Mic system and battery helps to stabilize the camera in addition to it being shoulder mounted so my entire body frame acts as a stabilizer as well. ... "
" ... The nitty-gritty: I am using it with my Canon 70D for local concert footage, practicing shooting techniques, and I plan to use it in the creation of short films in the future. ... "
" ... This stabilizer works great for my Canon 70D. ... "
" ... I'm using the gimbal primarily with a Sony a6000 and 35mm prime lens. ... "
" ... I am just tinkering with the balancing of my cameras with different lenses… So far very awesome. ... "
" ... So far, I like the stabilizer a lot - I've only used it with my GoPro (haven't yet used it with my Nikon DSLR), but it's far better than the Cellfie that I used on a video project with my wife's first-graders a few weeks ago - easier to set up, and does a much better job of stabilizing the camera. ...

" ... Love the size, weight, and color. ... "

" ... I bought it for a friends wedding last weekend, since I needed to take some video of the groom's entrance which was procession of people dancing in front of him while he rode in on a horse. ... "
" ... I am using it to film travel and lifestyle video, and plan to use it as much as possible. ... "
" ... Once properly balanced, it gives all of my videos (including ones of my recent trip to Yosemite) a very professional grade look at a price that can't be beat. ... "

" ... The gimbal does a nice job in reducing juttering, the footage is very smooth. ... "
" ... It definitely made my job alot easier. ... "
" ... The stock handle worked OK but I would love to test the additional handle. ... "
" ... Great job, guys! ... "
" ... For a mechanical counter-balance type of stabilizer - it does a fantastic job! ... But, like I said, you really have to get it balanced properly to do the job. ... "
" ... I thought the build felt like it was a quality product, all around really great job! ... "
" ... All in all a very sturdy and simple rig. ... "
" ... This is something I've seen other videographers do to get the most out of their steady cams, and I think once I get some practice with the Roxant, I will incorporate this technique into my usage as well. ... "
