Time to make your millions on YouTube now....
By Philthy G on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2018
Philthy reViews.... How to make millions on YouTube..... If you have ever took video from a phone, you'll see how craptacular it is. Seizure video at its finest. I didn't really believe it either until I saw the difference. I own a Note 8 so it's a pretty big phone but it works great. Day and night. I came from the Smooth Q gimbal but I lost it in Canada. If you are in the neighborhood for taking smoother video as well as enhancing it, then that's why you're looking at this item or those like it. The software you download for it is pretty self explanatory, but there are Youtube vids that will walk you through all the features and settings. It's better than the Smooth Q one, but this thing doesn't do full 360 rotation. You will notice a notch that prevents it. No idea why. Where this is not exactly a dealbreaker, it does detract from it's overall appeal. Like the Smooth Q, it can charge your phone and attach to a tripod. I've shot tons of vids on it and it is amazing. I will try to post some to illustrate it. If you are trying to create a channel, family videos, or great vacation footage, I recommend it

Intrusive app required to use the gimbal
By hellopenguin on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019
I bought this to stabilize the videos and photos that I take on my phone's camera. I could never use it because the gimbal requires you to install a very instrusive app on your phone. The app requires access to almost everything -- your accounts, your contacts, location, videos, microphone, bluetooth, call information, the list goes on and on.... I searched on a forum to see if this app was spyware and one person said the app wants to contact 33 different servers! It is scary how much information they'r taking from your phone. The amount of information they require doesn't make sense with the functionality of the product. Most apps let you turn off selectively what you don't need -- this app does not let you do that. If you try and turn off permissions selectively (like you don't allow contacts), the Osmo Mobile won't work, it becomes a brick. They force you to give all your information. Osmo is sending your data to 33 different servers in who-knows-what-countries. Less jittery videos is not worth my contacts being spammed or having my personal data being sent to who-knows-how-many-different companies. The full list of what they wanted access to was too long for me to type out. Buyer beware! P.S. If anyone can suggest a gimbal that doesn't have such intrusive requirements, please let me know!
