I just ordered a camera gimbal system that looks amazing. At $35 it is inexpensive enough for me to risk it. I will post again when I have tried it.

For sure I will. I will also be candid about whether I wasted my money.
I will be happily surprised if it's a quality product. Everything I have read, including user reviews of <$100 gimbals leads me to believe you get what you pay for. I have heard many stories of poor machining and inferior materials, which is covered up by using heavy grease. Some make them better by taking them apart, polishing out the machining marks and reassembling with premium grease. Some have even drilled out the locking knob threaded holes, tapping with a finer thread, and replacing the original locking knobs. Please let us know how it works out.
Waay back in the 80's, we had "pizza box fig rigs".
A guy at the camera swap meet (remember those?) took deep dish aftermarket cheesy steering wheels, and attached camera mounts and flash clips. No gimble, but it did make it easier to stay steady.
The hair on the back of my head is 'up' on this one..............
Think it is a big scam... Look at the return policy. Apples to almost nothing..
Lots of Luck. As PT Barnum said... 'There is a sucker born every minute...'

Good luck! Return policy states that items on sale cannot be returned for a refund. Hope it works out for you!

Somehow you felt the need to slam him?
I may very well have wasted the money - we'll find out. I can live without the $35 and move on if that's the case. At the very least, I will let you hogs know if the product is worthwhile.
Thank you for sharing.
If it is bad, then we will all know. If it is good, we may never have known.
I can't see how they can produce it, market it, and ship it for $35. Smells like a scam from overseas, but I hope it's not.

John, this seems to be a sad trait here. I don't think it's necessary nor helpful. I think the recent civility...or lack of civility...displayed by the current regime has defused into our discourse, sadly.

He didn't coin it, he never said it, and it is not genteel to libel the dead.

Stay in the forum "Attic". We don't need to politicize or photography discussions!
