Slightly different question regarding the Karma Grip.
Last Christmas I bought my son a gimbal for his iPhone and he honest he goes everywhere with it and he gets some amazing footage. It was about $120.
I have not seen a bad word said about the Karma Grip, but I must not be using it correctly. With my Son's you see the full screen, it locks onto your face and follows you and there's a joystick to gently pan on/with your subject or a different area. With the Grip, the gimbal covers the camera (5 Black) screen, and if im panning to follow someone about to run pass me, unless I turn my whole body, it only turns when it's travelled it's full range and bangs to the end of its travel (I hope that makes sense). I also find it has a little electrical hum. Obviously we are all GoPro Karma branded fan boys/ladies (myself included) on here, but I'm struggling to find many positives with the Karma Grip worth $350, knowing how a $120 item made by a small boy on $00.08p/h doing a 16hr shift in China* can be like.
*Can you imagine how much things would cost without the Chinese? I'm very grateful to these people.
There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old & bold pilots.
