Cracking price for this. Cheapest that I can see. Granted, not everyone has a use for a handheld Gimbal, but for you budding filmmakers / YouTube stars; this is sure to up your production game :smile:

Can this hold a gopro hero 4?

The mount is designed for a phone I think, but provided you could mount it and it wasn't too heavy it could work. Check the specs for payload weight :smile:
Edit: Actually think it may use a companion app, so might be a no :disappointed:

Looks like it's just for smart phones, which seems mental for a piece of kit this price.

I have one and paid £129 just because I wanted it for my holiday. I was more than pleased with it. The film was rock steady even bobbing about on a boat. I have since used it to film a presentation where the speakers were moving about but it has a tracking feature so followed them around the room no problem. Just drag a square round the person and it will follow them, needs to be on a tripod or desktop tripod.

Does anyone know if it can hold a Samsung galaxy s7, all of the photos of it on the website involve it holding an iPhone 7

Been looking at gimbals for a while. The only issue be price (around £300) and the lack of ability to position the phone in portrait.
This seems ideal and the review seem mostly positive the only down side seeming to be the plastic feel out the app the company provides.

I've just ordered one. I signed up to the website and also got an extra $2 off. All in all it's around £50 cheaper than on Amazon. Let's hope it turns up!

Would have been nice for the Galaxy S7 edge that I have, alas, the max payload for this is 220g and the S7 edge with the case plus lens takes it over that weight limit. :disappointed:
Still, heat.

Does anyone know what the crack is with customs/import vat? Will it be charged and roughly how much? Seems like a good deal as long as the price doesn't inflate due to taxes and vat.

never mind the crack about import duties I ordered on Thursday through PayPal received email saying it has ben charged (payed) through my card late Friday receive a email from Tomtop support that my payment has failed. I phoned PayPal as it showing up as Money removed from my account sent to emails to them asking why they have stated unsuccessful in payment when PayPal have told me as paid. waiting on reply from them if no satisfactory reply Paypal will start a recovery for payment. just heads up for you

Can confirm TopCashback works. I have £7.30 tracking after the purchase effectively making the work out to be around £75.49

78.5 using usd currency at checkout-2usd new account points,paid with metrobank uk mastercard(no fees)+9% quidco, final price below 70 pounds. Chance to get vat @ custom is very very low:within last 10 expensive items from china I paid 0 vat or duties

Metro Bank has fees on all non-EU transactions
_hukdealer_
25 Jul 17#38
that is what their web says, I checked before 1st transaction on aliexpress and made one just to find out how much is it! reality is is they consider all my aliexpress transactions as fee free, that's why I stopped using my european fee free debit card to pay for Chinese goods... can provide screenshot of this transaction, I made about 50 transaction from China in past 3 months, all 0 fees
there is no way there is any fee included in this price... and I don't get any extra fees separately either!

I have received one today. It is a shame that i have to put it to the out of the box position to fit it back in the box which means extra time for setting/leveling the mobile in it :disappointed:

What do you mean?

2 Aug 17#54
Once you set your mobile in it you have to set it back (move the sholder with clamp) to the basic position, in other way you are not able to fit it in the box as it hits the holder part. Just put it your phone in it then set it and use and then take phone off it and try to put in the case.

Did your Gimbal get delivered UK side by DHL or Royal Mail? Still waiting for mine which to be honest I expected but I'd be grateful of a heads up.

If you turn it off it goes limp and then straight back into the case. I never expected to put it in the case with the phone attached.

It was dropped off by royal mail. Had €19 value so no import tax

Hahaha i am not trying to put it back with the phone on it lol just once i set the thing up with the phone i have to put it back to the neutral position. Loose the screw, extend arm to find level and then try to put it in the case. I will add a pic
