Sorry I'm not sold on this device. I found most if you video has movement in it. The stills can all be taken handheld I think. I think I have this already in my bag already. I have a monopod already. I have a ball head already. The difference is if I use my setup I can let go of the camera and it won't fall to the ground. I also don't envy your back! You are bent over a lot. That gonna hurt after a while. My setup for motosports and wildlife is the panasonic g9 with the 100 to 400 lens. That's 200 to a whopping 800 in full frame. The ibis on the camera and lens means I can hand hold shots of the moon. And even video clips aren't bad. My advice is use what you have already. At 80 pounds uk this isn't cheap! I guarantee it will spend more time at home or in the bottom of the bag. A good sign that this isn't any good is that the Chinese haven't made a copy version of this yet! Thanks for the video but I don't recommend this gadget!

Have you used one?

[@simonstevens1631]

@@BarryMountford no obviously I haven't. But its my observation and experience of 40 years in wildlife and astro photography. If I want one I can make one and demonstrate what the pitfalls are. I can make one for about 20 bucks out of aluminum instead of cheap plastic!

That’s not a gimbal. A gimbal by definition is a device that balances or provides equilibrium to the weight of an object while also allowing it certain degrees of freedom. This is just a ball head that is detachable. It does nothing to balance the camera weight and requires the shooter to apply forces to remain stable. At best this is a misrepresented product and at worst false advertising. Go check out a Weberely Mh-100 or Lefoto mpg-1 which are real monopod gimbals.

You’re correct it’s not a gimbal it’s a speedigimbal.
