    Very informative video especially for beginners. Just got the device last week. So far so good and there’s lot to dig on its functionality.
    Do you have an idea if we can put ND filters on a smartphone while using this gimbal? Just curious to achieve motion blurr while recording a video on sunny day. Currently using an iPhone 11

    • @OttoJulian_
      @OttoJulian_  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most phones will do vortex mode. My only observation is that the Ultra is a big phone, so this Q4 might be ok but at the bottom it might be too tight. Smooth 5 is a good choice, but it’s bigger, more expensive, etc.

    • @OttoJulian_
      @OttoJulian_  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I see your point, and yeah at the top it will move a bit more, but it's not going to be super unstable (it's not going to be super stable either unless you have a very steady hand)

      A gimbal will always help your smartphone to be more stable. These range of gimbals will be a bit tight for your iPhone depending on what kind of case you have, but other than that they are good if you want/need the different features that a gimbal can give you (besides the extra stabilization)
